In the village, there were several women who often needed to make animal skins into coats, blankets, and quilts, but they lacked worktables.
With a reed mat, you could lay it on the ground and start sewing work.
When not in use, the reed mat could be stood against the wall or rolled up.
This Red Stone Village needed about forty to fifty reed mats.
The key was that they were really simple to make, even someone as clumsy as Ma Lin could weave them, though a bit more effort was required for the finishing touches.
He spent most of a night weaving, then half a day, and by the second day in the late afternoon he finished another reed mat, laid it on his bed, with a layer of animal skin as a blanket, and another as a quilt.
Visually, this made the bed appear tidier.
He knew he could go further.
Under the mat there was still a lack of a grass pad.
He didn't idle; he went out with 'Melon Face' to the ditch north of the village to harvest a plant similar to Sweet Flag.
