In the afternoon, he cleaned several baskets of dirty animal fur with 'Cat Urine' and 'Hua Gou', preparing to make them into felt.
They could only use the method of trampling for reinforcement, as there were no auxiliary tools, so their felt was neither uniform nor beautiful, and the shape was difficult to control.
But they were indeed felt.
The more solidly they were trampled, the sturdier they became once dried, suitable as mats, be it seat cushions or mattresses.
They took advantage of the warm midday sun, busying themselves with this work.
The soaked animal fur was still rather cold, and their hands and feet, wet from the water, ached slightly when the wind blew.
Wet clumps of fur tangled together were easier to trample.
They were inherently very delicate and fluffy, and Ma Lin had to trample them into hard, entangled blocks.
It required considerable effort. The better the fur, the harder it was to trample.
