When he wandered the streets again, he saw many females with small animals fetching water and washing clothes.
There were also the male Beastmen who came back from hunting.
Everyone was friendly to him because they heard the witch doctor say that he saved the dying Ya Heng, so they all respected him.
Lin Xiao carefully observed their clothes.
The male was a piece of animal skin. His upper body was bare, and a piece of animal skin was wrapped around his feet.
The female was also wearing beast skins on her upper body. She looked very cumbersome, or perhaps she was a bit richer. She was wearing a hemp dress, but it was very rough looking. Her feet were wrapped in beast skins, making her movements very inconvenient.
As he passed by one of the houses, he saw that someone was knitting. Although it was just a piece of sackcloth, it was still more breathable than animal skins.
He went up to her and said, ”Hello, what can I trade you for the linen you weave?”
Lin Ya was a very capable female, what he was good at was weaving. Seeing Lin Xiao's problem, he smiled and said, ”If you like it, I can give you some to make clothes for you.”
What they call clothing is to dig a hole in the head and put it on, with a rope tied underneath.
Lin Xiao quickly waved his hand, ”No need, no need. I can't take it for free.”
No matter how much Lin Xiao refused, Lin Ya still gave him a piece of cloth that was enough to make a set of clothes. ”You're welcome. Look at your clothes, they're all torn.”
Lin Xiao looked down at his clothes. The Tang suit that he was wearing before was already torn down and bandaged by him.
His pants were also seventy percent full. Only his shoes were still in good condition. However, he was wearing old Beijing cloth shoes, so he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
After thanking Lin Ya, Lin Xiao carried the cloths and went back. On the way back, he thought about something and didn't even hear what Ya Ming asked him.
He thought that once he had cloth, he would have clothes. Once he had clothes, he would be able to sell them. No … It was an exchange, so he had to help her build a house!
This was simply an extremely good idea.
After thinking it through, Lin Xiao carried the cloth home. The problem now was, how could the cloth in front of him change into clothes?
The only thing they needed to do was open up a hole and reveal their heads. There wasn't any skill involved at all.
The leather bag was not good-looking at all, and it was not practical at all.
So now his business opportunity had come. It's just that he didn't know how to sew clothes!
After returning home, Lin Xiao went back to his room and spread out the linen.
The linen cloth was not like the one he wore. It was silk, very fine, but the linen cloth was very rough, so the pores were very large.
Under such circumstances, even if the needle wasn't solid, it could still penetrate through.
Lin Xiao rushed out of the courtyard to look for Ya Heng happily. ”Ya Heng, let's go catch some fish.”
Ya Heng put the chair properly. Looking at his smiling appearance, he also smiled and stood up to follow him out.
Along the way, Lin Xiao said excitedly that he wanted to make a set of clothes.
”Mother knows how to do it. I'll ask him to make you one.” Ya Heng doesn't know what making clothes has to do with catching fish...
Lin Xiao waved his hand, ”No need, no need. I have my ways.” He knew that Chun Ming didn't like him very much, so he didn't want to get into trouble. He didn't like their clothes anyway.
When they got to the river, Lin Xiao pointed at the fish in the river. ”Ya Heng, catch the biggest one for me.”
