Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

With five more people in the family, the originally spacious room seemed crowded.Xiao Yu realized that if he wanted to accept apprentices to run a paper workshop, he needed to build a house, otherwise he would not be able to accommodate so many people.

Mrs. Wu's family is a capable woman and a clear person.She took her two children back to her home and packed up the things that could be used, including kitchen utensils and utensils.Without waiting for Xiao Yu to explain, he took the initiative to build a simple stove with bricks on the steps as a kitchen, and he cooked porridge for lunch.

Xiao Yu originally thought about adding a few mouths to the family, but he didn't expect that he didn't have to worry about those mouths.He only provided the wooden boards for the bed and the brown mats for the bed, but the quilt was a bit troublesome, because he had just solved the bedding problem at home, and there was no extra.

He took out all the animal furs left in the house and gave them to Mrs. Wu, asking her to sew them up as soon as possible.This fur is not as unified as my own rabbit fur quilt and the sheepskin quilt of Ji Hai brothers and sisters. There are sheepskin, rabbit skin and fox skin.

It was the first time for the Wu family lady to see so many furs, and she still gave them to use. She was so surprised that she refused firmly.

Xiao Yu said: "I don't know how to be a female celebrity. I used to ask Mrs. Meng for help. You can do it for me."

After hearing what he said, the wife of the Wu family agreed, and called her daughter and younger sister together, and the mother and daughter seized the time to sew the quilt.

Wu Xiaomei is thirteen or fourteen years old, she is the youngest in the family, she has not yet reached the age of Ji, and the beasts in Longhu Mountain will not let such a young girl be spared.I don't know if she was frightened last night. She is very timid, keeps her head down, dare not look people in the eye, speaks softly, works quite neatly, and children from poor families are rarely lazy.

Wu Jiaerlang was about the same age as Xiao Yu, although his stature was not as tall as Xiao Yu's, he was much stronger than Xiao Yu, and he looked like he had a physique that worked hard.He doesn't talk much, and he does whatever his mother arranges for him.

As soon as he arrived, he and Ji Hai set up two simple beds, and after they were busy, they chopped firewood, carried water, watered vegetables, and weeded for Xiao Yu's family.These jobs are usually done by Ji Hai, but now they are robbed, Ji Hai is quite unhappy.

Xiao Yu then said, "Erlang, you don't need to help my family with work, this is all Ji Hai's work."

When the Wu family lady heard it, she said: "Thanks to Xiao Langjun for taking you in, let us do something for you."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It's easy to say, I have a lot of things in my family, and there will be plenty of troubles for you in the future."

Pei Linzhi didn't return until noon, the doctor had put a splint on the bone of Dalang Wu, took medicine, and he just needed to stay in bed for more than a month, and he would recover slowly.All the expenses were borne by Xiao Yu, the whole Wu family was grateful to Xiao Yu, and wished to repay him with all their heart and soul.

Xiao Yu couldn't resist their persistence, so he arranged for Wu Xingyi and his son to repair the pool, cut down trees and peel the bark, and prepare for papermaking in advance.Papermaking requires a lot of bark, and it needs to be soaked, and the more you prepare, the better.

Although Xiao Yu knew the principles and procedures of papermaking, he didn't dare to guarantee that it would be successful once he made it, and he was afraid that a lot of raw materials would be wasted.

Although Wu Xingyi and his son were full of suspicion, they didn't ask too much, and they did what Xiao Yu ordered.

After the Wu family moved in, Pei Linzhi justifiably slept with Xiao Yu in the same bed. He didn't have a quilt before, but now the bed is given up to Mr. Wu. If he doesn't sleep with Xiao Yu, who will he sleep with?

Xiao Yu, who was used to sleeping alone, felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was not too young, and the bed was also narrow. It was inevitable that he would be embarrassed when squeezed together, but he didn't dare to express it, for fear of embarrassing Pei Linzhi.

As for Pei Linzhi, he seemed quite happy to sleep with Xiao Yu, and he also felt that he should sleep with Xiao Yu, so that if another thief came again, he could protect him immediately.

That night, Pei Linzhi took the initiative to mention something to Xiao Yu: "I plan to take Ji Hai as my apprentice."

Xiao Yu laughed: "You are finally willing to teach him."

Pei Linzhi said: "I'm going to accept it. I want to test his character. In this way, if I'm not at home, he can protect you."

Xiao Yu chuckled, well, the starting point is still for himself.

Pei Linzhi said: "I also plan to discuss with Lizheng to organize the young and middle-aged men in the village to train soldiers in their spare time, so that if we encounter thieves' surprise attack, we will not be beaten blindly."

Xiao Yu agreed very much: "This idea is good, I support you." In troubled times, self-protection can only depend on oneself.

From the second day onwards, Pei Linzhi gathered a group of young and middle-aged men to practice, and almost every family had at least one male.The villagers have been harassed and harassed by thieves all year round. They have long understood that at critical moments, only they can save themselves. Now that some people are willing to teach martial arts, who is not willing to learn?

Every day from Yinshi, Pei Linzhi led a large group of people to run exercises, from the village to the beach, ran back and forth along the beach for half an hour, and then returned to the village to practice martial arts for an hour.

Ji Hai and Meng Sigui also practiced together with everyone. Driven by them, many young men from the village also joined in.For a while, everyone was in high spirits, and even Wu Dalang, who was lying on the hospital bed, was envious, wishing that his leg would get better quickly, and joined in.

Xiao Yu thought it was fun at first, so he ran along once, but within a quarter of an hour he was panting like a cow. How could his physical strength keep up with the group of people who had been doing physical labor all year round.So I stopped running with him in the future, and I still do gymnastics by myself, jumping around in the yard, and exercise still needs to be done according to my ability.

In addition to the normal training, Ji Hai also needs to practice more.Pei Linzhi had very strict requirements on him, he had done the apprentice ceremony and served the apprentice tea, his purpose of learning martial arts was not simply to take care of the house, but also to take on the responsibility of protecting Xiao Yu in the future.

In addition to basic skills such as weight-carrying, horse-stretching, and stance, Ji Hai has to be tempered by Pei Linzhi for half an hour every day, and his skin is often bruised and swollen from being thrown.

Looking at Ji Hai's practice intensity and numerous scars, Xiao Yu felt that Pei Linzhi was abusing him, so he whispered to Pei Linzhi, "Can't you be gentle with him? He has just started to learn."

Pei Linzhi said: "I've already controlled my strength. Do you think those bandits will show mercy just because he's a child? I'm training his agility and resistance."

Xiao Yu was speechless, Pei Linzhi was right, the enemy would not show mercy, and Pei Linzhi was willing to take the time to practice with him, which showed that he was serious about teaching, and he was not willing to spend this time on someone else.

Meng Sigui originally wanted to worship Pei Linzhi as his teacher, but Pei Linzhi didn't refuse: "If you can endure hardship, you will come."

Meng Sigui watched for a day, seeing Ji Hai's appearance of being beaten up, he was a little scared, so he went home and rested for two days.But in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation and came here to pay his apprenticeship, because his father said that if he didn't seize this opportunity, he would never have it again in this life, and only by suffering now can he protect his family in the future.Meng Sigui thought of his parents and sister, gritted his teeth, and came as if death was at home.

From then on, Ji Hai had another brother in difficulty, and the two endured Pei Linzhi's temper together.

Xiao Yu finally fished out the bark that had been soaked for many days from the water, added lime and began to boil it.After boiling, the bark is cleaned, soaked for two days, and then fermented for two days after being removed, and then the bark is cut and pulped.

The beating is placed in the stone reel. Xiao Yu used the principle of leverage to change the hand reel into a foot reel. Using feet to step on it saves a lot of effort than using hands, but it is not easy. I feel sore in my legs.The beating work was mainly done by Wu Xingyi and his son.

The last and most critical part is papermaking. Xiao Yu has considered many materials for papermaking. It is obviously too rough to use linen, and brocade is smooth enough, but the cost of brocade is too expensive, and it is not suitable for soaking in water for a long time.In the end, I decided to try it with bamboo slices. As long as the bamboo slices are finely cut and smooth enough, they will be much more durable than brocade.

Moreover, a flat place is required for drying paper, and a large number of bamboo mats must be made.

Papermaking is definitely a technical job, Xiao Yu has never done it himself, let alone others, it will take a few more tries.He remembered the ancient papermaking program he had watched before, and tried to copy it once. The first time it was too little, and the paper could not be made into paper; , I am afraid that the copied paper can only be used for wrapping things, and it is too rough to be used as toilet paper.

After trying several times, Xiao Yu finally succeeded in copying out a piece of paper. After draining the water, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and then peel it off when it is completely dry.When he got the first piece of paper, Xiao Yu was as excited as a child: "Rin Zhi, look quickly, what is this?"

Pei Linzhi looked at the yellow-brown paper in Xiao Yu's hand, showing a surprised expression: "Your Majesty really did it, you are truly a god."

Xiao Yu laughed: "Not at all, I just think it's better to practice it by yourself than to read ten thousand volumes of books. The practice really brings true knowledge, very good!"

Seeing his proud smile, Pei Linzhi's eyes were filled with doting and praise. He dared to bet that throughout the ages, few princes and nobles were as intelligent and capable as His Highness. How lucky he was to be by His Highness's side, witnessing his creations one by one. Miracle.

Xiao Yu held this piece of paper and faced the sun. Although the paper was not uniform, it was not transparent. The only regret was that both sides were not smooth, probably because it had not been pressed through the paper, so it was not flat, but it was barely qualified. out of paper.

He smiled and said, "I'm going to frame this paper and hang it on the wall."

Pei Linzhi agreed very much: "This is the first piece of paper made by Mr. Lang himself. It is of great significance. It should be framed and kept well. Let me handle it."

"Hee hee, good." Xiao Yu solemnly handed the paper to Pei Linzhi, and went to instruct Wu Da and Erlang to copy the paper.

The paper made for the first time had many flaws, but the paper was already made.In the future, it is necessary to gradually summarize experience and improve in practice. To produce higher-quality paper, it is necessary to slowly explore and adjust in terms of craftsmanship, raw materials, auxiliary materials, and time control.We must encourage more attempts and more challenges. If we can produce high-quality paper, we will reward the Wu family and his son.

Wu Xingyi knew Xiao Langjun was capable. He could use stones to burn lime, but he didn't expect to be able to make paper.In particular, he was kind-hearted, took in their family without asking for anything in return, treated Dalang's illness, found work for them, and taught them the art of making paper. Mr. Xiao Lang also said that he would give them wages.

Their whole family received such kindness from Mr. Xiao Lang, and they were willing to serve him as cattle and horses for the rest of their lives, so how could they still ask for his wages.

When Meng Hong learned that Xiao Yu had made paper, he ran to their house immediately, and tears filled his eyes when he saw the rough paper: "It's really paper, it's really paper, Mr. Xiao is really omnipotent."

Xiao Yu's artificial cultivation of pearls had shocked him a lot before, but the shock was not as good as this one. After all, it would take several years for the pearls to be tested for success, and the paper was right in front of his eyes. He was born as a scholar. Nature knows how precious paper is.Unexpectedly, Xiao Langjun looked so weak in Wenwen, but he was so knowledgeable and versatile.

"Mr. Xiao Lang, can you give me two pieces of paper?" Meng Hong asked earnestly. He hadn't touched paper for more than ten years.

"The first batch of paper was not ready, it was too rough to write on. If Brother Meng wants it, he might as well play with it." Xiao Yu rolled up several sheets and handed them to him.

Meng Hong took the paper with trembling hands: "Thank you, sir, this is too precious."

Xiao Yu said: "I have an idea. After the paper is finished, I want to teach Ji Hai brothers and sisters to read and write. I wonder if Sigui has already enlightened?"

Meng Hong said: "I have taught some simple thousand-character characters and arithmetic, and the conditions are limited, so it is not convenient to teach. If Xiao Langjun runs a school, can I let the dog study with Lang Jun?"

Xiao Yu smiled: "I still plan to ask you to be my wife."

Meng Hong was startled, and waved his hands again and again: "I can't do it, I can't do it, Hong hasn't studied for many years, and I have almost forgotten what I learned before. I am afraid that I will miss the child."

Xiao Yu said: "I will teach with you. This is not a serious elementary school. I just take the time to teach a few children some simple knowledge, so as to prevent them from becoming illiterate in the future. I hope Brother Meng will not refuse."

Hearing what he said, Meng Hong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay."
