Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

This time Xiao Yu went out and brought back 34 people, including nine adults, mainly the elderly, and two disabled people. There were 25 children left, the oldest was 15 years old, and the youngest was just over one year old. Two soft foot plagues, also known as polio.

When Xiao Yu saw the two children, he suddenly realized how serious the disease was to the human body in ancient times when there was a shortage of medicine and medicine.There are so many frail old people and children here, but none of them are medically skilled. Once there is an emergency, it will kill people.So he immediately decided to pick two smart children to study medicine.

After arriving home, Pei Linzhi rode his horse into the city, not only to talk to Xue Zhao about food, but also to buy some cloth.With so many people, they not only need to eat, but also need to wear clothes and quilts. Fortunately, the weather has warmed up and quilts are no longer needed.

Brother Jishan and Jihai hurriedly took people to arrange the bed.Xiao Yu hurriedly arranged for someone to boil water, and let the people brought back take a bath and wash their hair. Those with lice in their hair were all shaved off.This move naturally caused a lot of commotion. Parents who suffer from body hair and skin, how can they shave their heads at will, but Min Chong is sitting on the sidelines, and he also said to shave, who would dare not shave.

It was Xiao Yu who took care of the little girls' face and didn't let the little girls shave their heads, but just cut them short, and let the ladies of the Meng family and the Wu family try to get rid of the lice for the girls.

All the clothes they took off were scalded in boiling water to kill fleas and lice.So busy until dark, this group of people barely cleaned up.

The children wore the new clothes that the housewives in the village helped to make today, and waited in line for dinner.

Before the meal, Pei Linzhi stood in front of the team: "From today on, everyone will treat this place as their own home and live here with peace of mind. Now the house is a bit narrow, and we will build another house in the future, so it won't be so crowded. Come to our house, We must strictly abide by our rules..."

He announced the rules to be followed, including no fighting, no stealing, no bullying, etc.He divided more than [-] children into several groups according to age, and selected a captain for each group to facilitate management and deployment.Penalties will be taken if the rules are not followed.

This is the management method he and Xiao Yu figured out on the way back. Otherwise, how can they manage so many children? As long as there are a few thorns, people can't manage them.The two discussed it and decided to adopt a militarized management method.

After Pei Linzhi finished speaking, Min Chong came up to emphasize it again, asking everyone to abide by the rules and obey the arrangements.

Many of these children are young and don't know the rules and requirements at all. They just want to eat quickly.The wife of the Wu family stood by the stove and was in charge of dividing the meals. The staple food was brown rice, and the dishes consisted of one dish and one soup.Eat as much as you eat, or eat as much as you beat, don't waste food, and keep full.

After eating, go to the table and sit down to eat.Take the group as a unit, and the big ones should take care of the small ones.

Xiao Yu obviously misjudged the concept of the word "controlling fullness". He cooked according to the amount of half a catty of rice per person, but it turned out not enough.Those children who looked only a few years old could eat three or four meals, which was better than him and Pei Linzhi.If things go on like this, you can eat as many as you can.

On the chairman's seat, Pei Linzhi turned sideways, lowered his voice and said to Xiao Yu: "Your Majesty, why don't we limit it in the future, and each person can only add food once."

Xiao Yu glanced at it: "I don't need it for now, the main reason is that I didn't eat enough and I was hungry. It will get better in the future." Rather than worrying about this group of people eating too much, he was more worried about their full stomach.

Now that they have returned, evening classes will continue.Without waiting for their orders, the group of young people in the village took the initiative to bring firewood and lit the bonfire.

The new group of people have never seen this scene, and they all feel very novel, what is going to be done.When the evening class started, these people discovered that there was such an interesting thing, not only teaching literacy, but also teaching arithmetic, and even listening to stories.

Newcomers like this kind of activity very much. Even ignorant children think that it is very fun for many people to gather together at night with a fire.Even the old men listened with great interest outside the fire.

After the class was over, everyone went back to their room to sleep one by one. Xiao Yu stood in the corridor and heard several newcomers discussing excitedly: "I think this place is interesting. I can eat enough food, have mutton soup to drink, and listen to stories."

"You said before that it was too strict."

"Strictness is a bit stricter, isn't it that no fighting is allowed, no stealing is allowed, and everyone has food and clothing, which is not difficult to do."

"..."

Xiao Yu smiled, these kids are a bit wild, but they still can't resist the temptation of delicious food and fun, as long as they are properly guided and cultivated, they will have a bright future.

After a few days of driving, we had been busy all day when we got home, and we had classes in the evening. We were already extremely tired at this moment, and the child fell asleep on the bed.After the lights were turned off, Xiao Yu went to check on it, and after making sure it was all right, he went back to his room.

Pei Linzhi said: "Your Majesty, let's take a rest early, these few days are exhausting enough."

Xiao Yu yawned: "Okay. When did Xue Zhao say the food will arrive?" Today Pei Rinzhi made a special trip to find Xue Zhao to talk about it. At first Xue Zhao was not happy, but then Pei Rinzhi told Xiao Yu what he said. , Xue Zhao suffered greatly from the pirates, and finally agreed to give [-] catties of food.

In fact, [-] catties of grain is not much to Xue Zhao, and its value is only a dozen taels of silver.According to an average of one catty of rice per person per day, it is only enough for them to eat for three months, which is still economical.It's really not good to be in charge of the family and don't know how expensive the firewood is. Xiao Yu felt that if he didn't have a big income, he might not be able to support so many people.

"I should be able to deliver some tomorrow." Pei Linzhi said.

Xiao Yu sighed: "According to today's eating method, how many days can you eat [-] catties of grain?"

Pei Linzhi laughed suddenly: "No wonder that Min Chong is going to rob. He supports hundreds of people, and eating alone is a huge expense."

Xiao Yu said: "His hundreds of people are all strong laborers. If they don't work and rely on robbing, that's lazy and lazy. We are all old people and children who can't support themselves. Hey, I have a big head. Don't think about it. Go to sleep and go to the boat." It is naturally straight to the end of the bridge."

The two were about to turn off the lights to rest when they heard someone knocking on the door, Pei Linzhi asked, "Who?"

Min Chong's voice sounded outside the door: "It's me, Min Chong. I have something to ask you."

Xiao Yu went over and opened the door: "Dang Min isn't asleep yet? Come in."

Min Chong entered the door, looked at them, and clasped his fists together: "I'm causing trouble for you two today."

Is this a special thank you?Xiao Yu waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just that there are too many people and it's a bit chaotic. It will be easier when everyone gets familiar with it."

Min Chong took out a cloth bag from his arms: "There are many people in the family, and the expenses are high. I still have some money here. You can use it."

Xiao Yu looked at the cloth bag that Min Chong sent to him: "Then I will accept it. Thank you Master Min."

Min Chong gave him the bag, then turned and left.

Xiao Yu took the heavy cloth bag, opened it, and found that there were some silver ingots and two gold ingots inside, which amounted to 40 taels in total: "Rin Zhi, look quickly."

Pei Linyi looked at it and chuckled: "This gold ingot is four or five taels, it seems that it should be enough for this year's meal."

Xiao Yu chuckled: "It's really sleepy. I came here to give you a pillow. I just need it. Then I'll keep it."

With the money given by Min Chong, Xiao Yu can finally sleep peacefully, at least he doesn't have to worry about everyone being hungry.

There was something wrong that night, one child had a fever, and the other had a stomachache. Xiao Yu had no choice but to physically cool him down.On the contrary, the wife of the Wu family had raised children and had experience, so she used some simple methods, and the two children finally settled down and fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, the housewife, Mrs. Wu, is here, otherwise I really don't know what to do, Xiao Yu thought sleepily, it's not easy to take care of children.

In the early morning of the second day, Pei Rinzhi started to practice with these children, requiring them to get up at Yin time every day and practice for half an hour.The new children who arrived on the first day were obviously lagging behind. Pei Linzhi didn't criticize them harshly, and there was an adaptation period at the beginning.

After eating the court food, Xiao Yu began to teach them lessons.From today onwards, he changed the class to the morning, because the weather is gradually getting hotter, and he is drowsy in the afternoon, and his energy is not concentrated enough. It is better to have class in the morning and work in the afternoon.

Children over the age of six have to go to class, and those under the age of six will be looked after by the group of old people.Xiao Yu originally taught a dozen or so children, but now with the addition of a dozen newcomers, there are nearly 30 people, which is considered a big class, and they all sit on the floor in the hall.

Now the students are also divided into two groups. The previous ones have already learned the basics, while the new ones start from scratch.When teaching, although it is a class, it has to be divided into two groups to teach.

It's just that the workload of Xiao Yu and Meng Hong has increased. The class that could be finished in one hour has now become two hours, and each of them has to be responsible for one hour.

On the first day of class, the new students performed well, probably because they found it novel.There are also some older ones who are more sensible and know that this opportunity is extremely rare, because they never dreamed that they could still read and write, so their learning attitude is extremely serious.

Afternoon is working time.Since there is no new job for the time being, Xiao Yu asked the older children to help cut down the tree and peel the bark, while the frail old man and the younger children helped to peel the outer layer of the bark.

Papermaking requires a lot of bark. In the past, there were not enough manpower. In order to save time, the outer bark was soaked together, and then washed after fermentation. In this way, the pulp would be stained with the color of the outer bark, and the color of the paper would be yellowish and black. This can be used to make rough paper, but if you want to make writing paper, you still need to peel it manually, which leads to a very low output.Now that there are enough people, the bark can be removed in advance.

Among the children brought back, there were only four little girls, one of whom was suffering from soft foot plague. The oldest was ten years old, and the youngest was only three years old.Because the kidnappers and matchmakers had already scouted out the beggar girls and sold them to wealthy families as maids, or to others as child brides, and some were even sold to brothels.In such a cannibalistic society, women are commodities.

These few were rescued by Min Chong. The reason for the kidnapper's arson incident was to kidnap ten-year-old Xiaochun.

Xiao Yu did not arrange the work of peeling the bark for these little girls, but handed them over to the Wu family's wife, asking them to help with housework, picking mulberry leaves, raising silkworms, kneading linen and weaving cloth.There were so many people eating at home, it was necessary to arrange for someone to cook, so Xiao Yu invited Mrs. Wu to cook, and those little girls could help her.

When there are more people in the family, there will be more things to do, and naturally there will be more situations.These children were originally beggars who were left alone, and they also acquired a lot of bad habits during their wandering life. It is almost a habit to be brave and ruthless.Although Pei Linzhi said hello on the first day, within two days, some villagers came to report that they had lost chickens, and some people saw that this group of new children stole and ate them.

After hearing this, Pei Linzhi became furious, and quickly found out the culprit, who was about to be punished physically.

Xiao Yu said in front of everyone: "I don't think it's necessary to beat me up. Some people always forget to eat but don't remember to beat. Since you ate someone's chicken, you should pay him a chicken. You If you don’t have chickens, you will lose money. A chicken is worth about 25 yuan, plus the hen that lays eggs, it will produce a hundred chickens a year, four chickens are worth 120 yuan, and it will be produced for another five years The chicken, that is 130 five coins, plus the twelve coins of the hen itself, you have to pay her [-] seven coins. Whoever eats the chicken will pay. If there is no money, go to work for others to pay off the debt. Make sure the owner is satisfied By the way, when you are working in someone else's house, the family will not provide you with dinner, you have to find a way to solve it yourself."

The kid who stole the chicken heard that he had to calculate more than 100 yuan in compensation in the end. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had never seen so much money. How could he have to pay so much money for stealing a chicken.

Pei Linzhi said indifferently: "Did you hear that? Go to the master's house now to apologize and say that you are willing to work for them."

Xiao Yu said again: "Wait a minute, those who eat chicken together will also go there, and you will go to work together until the master is satisfied. Remember, you will solve the dinner yourself, and the family does not provide it. You say, Am I short of your food, or your drink? I still need to steal from others to eat. If you steal again, you won’t be able to eat lunch at home. If you commit three crimes, you will be kicked out and make a living for yourself. We won’t support you. A villain who never changes after repeated admonitions!"

During the whole process, Min Chong's face was cold, and he said: "According to my temper, I should throw these bastards into the sea to feed the bastards! If you don't know what is good or bad, I brought you here to read the sage books, but in the end I returned them to you." I have done such a shameful thing, and I have read all the books? Are you losing your own face? It is your teacher's face, and it is even more embarrassing for me." As he said, he raised his leg and was about to kick someone .

He was stopped by Xiao Yu: "Master Min, don't be so angry. The reason why they make mistakes is because they haven't corrected their previous bad habits. When they come to my house, they have to gradually correct themselves. I don't agree with corporal punishment. I only talk about reason. Do you understand?"

The trembling children who were frightened by Min Chong nodded quickly: "Understood."

Xiao Yu personally led these people to apologize to the owner who lost the chicken, and threw them to the owner's family to help them work to pay for the chicken.

The reason why Xiao Yu took so much trouble was to make an example of others, and Pei Linzhi and Min Chong also perfectly cooperated with him in singing good and bad faces. I am afraid that no one will listen to those requests in the future.

The owner of the house who lost the chicken didn't make things difficult for these children. After all, it was the first time, and he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes. He only let them work for an afternoon and then let them come back.So they were only hungry all night, watching everyone eating delicious stewed rabbit meat, they were so greedy that they regretted it to death, and they didn't dare to go out for wild food in the future.

After such a rectification, these children are indeed much more honest.They also understood a problem: Don't look at the teacher who is gentle and smiling all day long, he is the head of the family, and he has the final say on everything. Although he doesn't beat people, his way of repairing people is worse than being beaten. Make people uncomfortable.

A few days after Xiao Yu came back, he started harvesting rice. Originally, he thought about asking for help from the village, but as long as the family could stand firmly in the field, they all went to the field on their own initiative.The young people in the village who usually come to practice and attend lectures come whenever they are free, and they also bring their own tools.

For a while, only people could be seen in the fields, rice was being cut here, threshing was being done there, there were people picking and drying the millet, and the young ones were responsible for picking up the ears of rice and trying to return the grains to the warehouse. It was very lively, like a festival. Yes, more people work faster, and they are also happy. Everyone is joking, and the laughter has never stopped.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to go to the field, he was stopped by the students: "Mr., let's go to dry the millet, we are in the field."

But there is no need for him to dry the millet. There are still a few little girls in the family, but they are diligent, and he is not needed to catch the chickens.Xiao Yu looked left and right, there was nothing he could do, so he went to tease the little leopard cat who just opened his eyes.

The little leopard cat probably had a fate with him, Yu'er took care of him during the days when he was gone, but the little cat opened its eyes only after he came back.It is said that animals will regard whoever they see for the first time as their mother, so the little guy is very close to him, and he is very sticky when he sees him.Now he is the one who has the most leisure time in the house, and he doesn't pretend to be someone else, he feeds the cats by himself.

After teasing for a while, I heard the sound of horseshoes outside, followed by the exclamation of a few little girls: "Wow, Mr. Pei Lang is back, what did he bring back? It's so big."

Xiao Yu heard that Pei Linzhi was back, and hurried out with the cat in his arms: "Rinzhi."

Pei Linzhi was riding majestically on the horse, with a big black guy on his back. Xiao Yu took a closer look and exclaimed excitedly: "Is it a wild boar?"

Pei Linzhi jumped off the horse: "Mr. Lang, I hunted a wild boar today."

Xiao Yu excitedly ran closer, and saw the big wild boar with tusks, weighing at least 200 catties: "It's great, there's meat to eat again."

There are many people in the family, not only consumes a lot of staple food, but also consumes a lot of vegetables. The preserved lamb chops and preserved rabbit meat in winter are all eaten up. In order to save money, Jishan has returned to his old profession - fishing, Jihai Then I took a few older children to the beach to dig crabs, pick up shells, conchs and seaweeds. They are all children who are very good at sharing difficulties for others.

Pei Linzhi also had to go up the mountain to hunt the next day, otherwise he would not be able to afford the food alone.He had hunted a lot of prey in the mountains, but this was the first time he had caught a wild boar. Xiao Yu became excited: "Great, there is pork to eat at noon today."

Pei Linzhi lifted the wild boar off the horse and threw it on the open space: "I'll tie the horse first, and I'll clean it up later."

Xiao Yu said: "This is a male pig, have you met a piglet?" He has always wanted to raise pigs, but suffered from the lack of piglets.

Pei Linzhi said: "I saw a litter today, and I will catch them and the sows some other day."

"That's great, don't kill the sow, and she can give birth to piglets in the future." Xiao Yu rubbed his hands, it's great, he can finally eat pork.

So Xiao Yu, who hadn't cooked for a long time, made the lunch dishes himself. The soy sauce he had marinated was also available, just right for roasting pork with sauce and pork ribs with sauce.

Xiao Yu is still not satisfied with the braised pork, because the wild boar has too little fat, and there is no fat, so the pork belly is indeed much inferior.

But everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal, because few of these people had eaten soy sauce, and the first time they ate it, it was amazing.

What Xiao Yu thought was, fried crispy whistle to eat later, the porridge couldn't be more delicious.It's a pity that there is no kelp in tropical seas, otherwise it would be great to use it to stew a big pot of skull soup.
