It's relatively easy for him to weave mats with bulrushes like this.
Today the sun is quite warm, making the task more comfortable.
He went to the back to have breakfast, and then "Melon Face" came to help him weave. They just needed to keep flipping the bricks over and over.
The mat's width is 1.2 meters, enough with just two bulrushes lined up.
If worried about it not being sturdy, more ropes can be added.
Ma Lin knows that this method isn't perfect, but in primitive society, having a grass mat is already fortunate. There's no need to be picky.
The two of them working together speeds things up.
By noon, they had woven about two meters in length.
Very tight.
Then, they cut the ropes, secured the edges, and wove another mat of the same size.
It was finished in the afternoon.
Then they stacked the two mats and sewed them together with bone needles.
"Melon Face" also helped.
By that evening, the mat was completed.
It turned out exceptionally sturdy and thick.
