45: Making sheepskin coats

Seeing that the self-made honey locust cleaning paste was so effective, Lu Fan's confidence soared.

He thought excitedly about washing all his dirty clothes until they were spotless.

But just before he started, he suddenly remembered that he only had this one set of clothes.

"If I don't have clean clothes to change into while washing, I'll be running around with a bare butt. That would be so embarrassing."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Fan suddenly remembered the Mountain Goat he had hunted before; he had preserved the sheepskin, and it had been sitting unused.

He could use the sheepskin to make himself a set of clothes.

No sooner said than done. Lu Fan dug out the carefully treated and preserved sheepskin from his storage corner.

Under his meticulous care, the sheepskin was soft and resilient, emitting a faint scent of leather.

He spread the sheepskin flat on the ground and used a sharp stone to sketch out the general outline of the clothes in his mind.

"Hmm, the sleeves need to be a bit longer so it's easier to move, and the hem should be wider so my movements aren't restricted in the wilderness," he muttered while carefully marking the cutting lines.

Picking up the sharp dagger, Lu Fan carefully cut the sheepskin along the marked lines.

The friction between the dagger and the sheepskin made a "shasha" sound, as if playing a unique wilderness movement.

The cutting process wasn't entirely smooth; in some places, the sheepskin was very tough, and he had to exert some effort, sawing back and forth.

"This sheepskin is quite stubborn, but what's the point of being stubborn?" he joked with a smile, though his hands never stopped moving.

After some effort, the various components of the garment were finally cut out.

Next was the crucial step of sewing them together.

With limited conditions, he could only perform simple stitching.

Lu Fan first used the dagger to poke several holes in the areas that needed to be sewn.

He then found some dry grass nearby and braided it into grass rope; this had become his side profession.

He threaded the grass rope through the holes in the sheepskin and pulled it tight, creating a structure similar to shoelaces.

In this way, he could also adjust the size and tightness of the clothes according to his body shape.

While working, Lu Fan suddenly felt a sting in his finger; he had accidentally been pricked by the tip of the dagger.

"Good grief, that gave me a fright," Lu Fan laughed and shook his finger.

His strengthened body hadn't been pierced; only a red mark appeared, and of course, the cushioning from the sheepskin helped.

This indirectly proved that this sheepskin coat had decent defensive power.

After a quick comment, Lu Fan threw himself back into making the clothes.

After a long and focused effort, a uniquely styled sheepskin garment finally appeared before Lu Fan's eyes.

Although it looked a bit rough, it was full of primitive charm.

Immediately, Lu Fan took off all his old clothes.

In the livestream room, everyone caught a fleeting glimpse of Lu Fan's physique.

"Whoa, abs!"

"Ahhh, I can't take it!! Great God Lu Fan is so handsome."

"Damn, Great God Lu Fan, where's your beer belly? You actually betrayed our Beer Belly Organization!"

"It's only been a few days, and you've achieved the transformation from a beer belly to abs."

Lu Fan's physique was no longer what it was when he first arrived; now his body was full of muscle, though not exaggeratedly so.

He looked very robust overall, very similar to Ling Chen who came from the special forces—all functional muscle.

Of course, Lu Fan certainly couldn't have built such beautiful muscles in just a few days; this was a change brought about by the body strengthening from the son of the wilderness.

He couldn't wait to put on the new clothes and spun around a few times in front of the campfire.

"Hey, how is it, Big Horn? Do you think your master looks handsome in these new clothes?"

Big Horn seemed to understand his words, lifting its head, shaking it, and letting out a low cry.

"Great God Lu Fan is so talented, this sheepskin outfit is practically a wilderness fashion item!"

"Haha, Big Horn's reaction is too cute. It seems it also thinks its master is handsome as hell."

"The Great God's hands-on ability is simply invincible. He could open a wilderness clothing store in the future without any problem."

"Wearing this out, he's definitely the coolest guy in the wilderness. The head-turn rate will surely explode."

Wearing the new clothes, Lu Fan felt refreshed. He patted the sheepskin on his body and said with satisfaction, "Alright, now I can wash my clothes in peace."

He put the dirty clothes in a basket, took the honey locust and a ceramic basin, and led Big Horn toward the Small Pond.

Soon, the man and the deer arrived at the pond. At this time, the sun was quite strong, making people feel warm, and the water wasn't that cold.

Looking at the pile of stained clothes before him, Lu Fan rolled up his sleeves and showed a confident smile.

"Today, I'll make all of you look brand new."

Lu Fan evenly applied the previously prepared honey locust cleaning paste to each garment and then soaked them in clean water.

A moment later, he began to scrub the clothes vigorously, focusing on the areas with heavy stains.

With his movements, rich foam rose on the water's surface, looking like white clouds.

Under the effect of the honey locust and his efforts, the stains on the clothes were gradually stripped away and dissolved into the water.

The viewers in the livestream room commented:

"The cleaning power of this honey locust is really strong. That dirt came right off."

"Moreover, this kind of natural cleaning material doesn't pollute the environment. It's so practical in the wilderness."

"As expected, the methods left by our ancestors won't be wrong."

"Everyone can come watch my livestream; I'm currently making this kind of honey locust laundry detergent."

With Lu Fan's explosive popularity, many bloggers appeared on the internet imitating him in making things.

They collected materials from others at high prices and then livestreamed the creation of these items to attract traffic.

While washing, Lu Fan found a particularly stubborn stain on one garment that wouldn't come off no matter how much he scrubbed.

He frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly realized he could use a rough stone to gently rub it.

He found a stone and carefully rubbed it against the stain.

After some effort, the stain was finally removed, and the garment returned to its original color.

"Haha, as long as your thinking doesn't stall, there are always more solutions than problems."

After several hours of effort, all the dirty clothes were washed clean.

Lu Fan wrung them out one by one and hung them on the surrounding branches to dry.

A breeze blew, and the wet clothes fluttered gently, as if telling him of their joy after being cleaned.

Looking at the clothes on the drying lines, Lu Fan felt a sense of accomplishment.

"This is the joy of wilderness life—doing it yourself and having ample food and clothing."

Looking at the fiery sun, Lu Fan decided to take a bath while he was at it.

After all, honey locust could also be used to clean skin and hair.

Its cleaning power is moderate; it won't over-clean and cause skin or hair dryness, making it relatively gentle.
