Gong Yumingxi waved his hand: "Let's eat our food. I'm afraid he won't come back until evening."

The sisters thought the same thing.

After lunch, Qixun continued copying books, and the three mothers continued making clothes.

Lingsu thought about making a pair of shoes for Qixun that could go out first, but her pair of broken shoes with openings, or the old shoes that her mother had worn before leaving the pavilion found in the hut, couldn't go out at all.

It's a pity that there are no soles, so I have to find the sole cloth and dry it in the sun to fit the soles.

By the time the sun sets, the ground outside has dried a lot after a day of sunshine. After another day, it will be easy to go out for a walk.

In one day, Qixun copied a medical book, and the three of them also made two cotton-padded clothes.

Qixun collected the dried paper and arranged it neatly, and said: "I do know how to make paper. I will ask my second brother to help me dig a pond at home tomorrow. There is no shortage of straw. I will get some straw paper first and wait.

Now, let’s go to the river pond to cut some cattails and come back to make some high-end cattail paper.”

There is no shortage of bulrushes in the countryside, they can be found in the fields and by rivers, but this stuff is a high-grade raw material for papermaking.

For a scientist with a background in science, making paper is really not difficult.

Of course, it is impossible to make good paper all at once. Craftsmanship requires exploration step by step.

Really, making paper is a top priority.

I’m really fed up with the embarrassment of using the toilet without paper. Use bamboo chips, stone chips, leaf leaves, etc. Who knows who uses them!

Get out the toilet paper first, so you can at least go to the toilet freely.

In fact, like Li Qingzhao and Sister Lin, their ladies also had a hobby of making letters, but it was different from serious papermaking. In ancient times, unlike later generations, papermaking techniques were kept secret by major paper mills, and it was impossible for casual people to know the craftsmanship.

.

Therefore, her understatement made the three mothers shocked: "You can even make paper?"

Qixun nodded: "In my previous life, the basic processes of these crafts were basically open to the public. Not to mention ordinary paper, I knew all the craftsmanship of the Southern Xuan Dynasty and the Northward Movement. But rice paper is not only craftsmanship, but also has extremely high requirements for materials.

Yes, we don’t count on it now. But it’s not difficult to make ordinary high-quality mulberry paper, papyrus paper, and bamboo paper, as long as you know the process. If you want high-quality paper, just explore slowly. But straw paper,

We can make them now, um... get some first and use them when changing clothes. Alas, changing clothes is really difficult."

Qixun sighed, and the other three girls rolled their eyes: "It's just a change of clothes. Why is it so difficult?"

Qixun continued to sigh: "When our family started a fire, all the toilet paper in the house was burned down. In my previous life, the toilet paper used in the toilet was softer than silk and satin. Not only was it a problem with the feel, but the hygiene requirements were also

It must meet the standard. Well, speaking of it, toilet paper must be manufactured. This way, my mother won’t have to worry about her menstruation in the future.”

Gong Yumingxi blushed and glared at her.

Qi Xun rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, what's so bad about this? In my previous life, this was something that all of us, regardless of gender, had to be taught by our teachers in the physical hygiene class at school. Don't talk about menstruation.

, that is, knowledge about men and women, which we must learn in physiological hygiene classes."

The three mothers looked at each other: "You even teach this?"

Qixun nodded: "It's normal. If you, Third Sister, are studying medicine, you must learn these things. For future generations, these are normal physiological common sense and there is nothing to avoid."

While they were chatting, Gong Yuhao outside pushed open the firewood door and entered the courtyard.

The mother and daughter couldn't help but feel happy when they looked at him.

I saw Gong Yuhao carrying a long stick on his shoulder, with at least twenty chickens scurrying on one end, and at least 20 rabbits scurrying on the other, some gray and white.

Where is he going hunting? Is he a Japanese soldier entering the village?

Qixun said to Wai Toule: "Second brother, you are no longer my great sage brother, you are Jue Juezi."

According to his hunting method, it is estimated that all pheasants and rabbits in the entire mountain will become extinct within a few years.

After all, Lingsu felt sorry for her brother and hurriedly got off the kang to help. Seeing this, Qixun and Lingyu also got off the kang, one watching the prey while the other went to fetch water for Gong Yuhao to wash.

After Gong Yuhao entered the main room and put the burden on the ground, he said to Gong Yumingxi in the room: "Mom, I'm back."

Gong Yumingxi tidied the things on the kang, and then went to the main room: "After hunting so many chickens and rabbits, have you gone into the mountains? Why are you so brave? You can easily do it in the mountains.

Enter? I won’t dare to do it again! Look how wet these clothes are! Hurry, take off all your clothes and lie down on the kang. Lingsu, when we light the fire for cooking later, put your second brother’s clothes on

Bake the clothes."

Gong Yuhao said indifferently: "I didn't really go into the mountains, but I really went a long way. Mom, I'm not the same person I used to be. I'm not as good as when I was a monkey and could soar into the clouds and ride on the mist for seventy-two changes, but the mountains are so difficult for me.

It's really nothing. I originally wanted to get some tiger, wolf, and fox skins for my mother, but unfortunately I didn't even see a badger skin, otherwise dog and badger skins would be pretty good. I only got these.

The pheasants are free to come back. However, there are too many pheasants and hares, and our family can’t eat so many. How should we deal with them?”

Gong Yumingxi glared at him: "No matter how capable you are, my mother hasn't seen you anyway. Can you easily touch the wolves and tigers? You are not allowed to go into the mountains in the future! As for these chickens..."

After thinking for a moment, Gongyu Mingxi said: "Normally, we should give some to the elders, but with the current situation of our family, I guess they will not be willing to accept it. You can give chickens and rabbits to the Zuo family next door. Usually our family

We also eat other people’s game. Let’s keep two more each for ourselves to replenish the health of you brothers and sisters, and the rest will be sold in the town tomorrow.”

Gong Yuhao waved his hand: "I met Brother Lingzhou on the way back and brought him two chickens and two rabbits. I asked him to give half of it to the second grandfather's family. I gave him more, but he didn't want to take it. The Zuo family

There is no need to send them away. The uncle of the Zuo family went into the mountain with me. If my mother wants to sell them, then I will go to sell them with the uncle of the Zuo family tomorrow. But the uncle of the Zuo family said that we have too many prey this time, and he

There are dozens of them, I’m afraid they can’t be sold in the town, so they have to go to the county town.”

"Come on, you don't have to get back the money from the sale. I think these can be sold for a little more than a tael of silver. You can exchange them for rice and noodles later."

After buying fabrics and cotton for quilts and cotton-padded clothes yesterday, I only had the remaining money to buy ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of fine flour, and twenty kilograms of coarse grains. Even counting the grains sent by my two uncles, I still had enough money.

I won't be able to eat for long. I was thinking of trying to make some money these days to buy food, but I didn't expect this guy to come back with so many prey today.

One tael of silver was enough to buy more than 200 kilograms of brown rice. It was enough to feed their family of five for a month or two.

Gong Yumingxi was in a good mood.

Qixun poked the rabbit with his finger and said, "Let's make some chicken soup tonight and use it to roll out the dough? Alas, it's a pity that there are no chili peppers. Otherwise, chop some green onions, pound some garlic, and sprinkle some on it." Sprinkle some sesame seeds and oil with some chili pepper, and pour it over the chicken soup noodles. I wonder how fragrant it will be."

Qixun, who managed to finish what he said, paused and sighed.
Chapter completed!
