Travel through the beast world with the famine system

Common papermaking materials are trees, bamboo or reeds in the forest, and there are many tall and dense reeds growing in the poisonous purple marsh and lakeside.These days, the farm work in the tribe is almost done, and Ci Ye thought of making paper.

"What is paper?" Hei Yao looked puzzled after hearing Ciye's papermaking request.

"Paper is a very useful thing. It can be used for writing and drawing. I want to make paper now. When the dead season comes, I can teach you how to read." Ci Ye smiled and explained.

"Writing? Are those symbols you drew?" Hei Yao also often saw Ci Ye draw on the ground or on the wall with charcoal. Those symbols looked complicated in his eyes, but they had a special sense of beauty .

"Yes." Ci Ye nodded, "I want to teach you this kind of symbol. Words are a very beautiful thing that can convey a lot of information."

"Okay, then let's make paper. Let Dashi and Fengka make paper together with you. Recently, the house for the fox and beast people is almost finished." Black Yao thought for a while and said.

"Okay, then when the house is finished, we'll start making paper."

After finalizing the matter of making paper with Hei Yao, Ci Ye opened the system, found [Papyrus] in the [Refining] column, and obtained the method of making paper.

There are many choices of raw materials for papermaking here. After knowing the production process, Ci Ye asked the orcs to collect some reeds by the lake and bring them back.Now there are surplus bamboo and wood in the tribe, and Ci Ye is going to try all three materials.

Within a few days of collecting the raw materials for papermaking, the new house in the tribe was also built.These houses are similar structures to the rest of the tribe and are located in the Howler Tribe near the Mushroom Gardens.

In the process of construction and decoration, Dashi also specifically asked the fox orcs for their opinions, and made some changes to the house according to the size of the fox orcs to make them more suitable for the fox orcs to live in.

Seeing that these beautiful houses are for themselves, the fox beasts were very moved.When I moved into a new home, I couldn't help touching it, and couldn't put it down because I couldn't put it down.

"Fox witch, this is your house, go in and have a look!" Ci Ye said with a smile standing beside the old fox witch.

Although the fox orcs have joined the roaring tribe, the title of this old fox witch is still retained. Ci Ye also likes to communicate with this old fox witch, because every witch is an orc with profound knowledge and rich life experience.

"Hey, good!" The old fox stood in the yard leaning on a wooden crutch, looking at his new house, and couldn't help showing a joyful and excited smile on his face, looking much younger.

The house is tan, with dark wood for the door frames and windows, giving it a rustic-chic look.Walking in, the old fox also saw various chairs, tables and other furniture placed inside, as well as thoughtful lampstands and chair cushions.

After wandering in and out for several times, the old fox witch always had a happy smile on his lips.

"Great Witch Ciye, thank you so much, thank you for being willing to take in us fox orcs." After visiting the new house, the old fox witch said to Ciye, his eyes could not hide his gratitude.

"Bringing you back is because the tribe lacks manpower. The fox and beast people are very hardworking. As long as everyone works together, the tribe will become better and better." Ci Ye said with a smile, supporting the old fox witch.

"Okay, okay!" The old fox witch nodded with emotion, and also showed a gratified smile.

In the former fox tribe, the orcs worked hard every day, but they couldn't live so well like the roar tribe.Under the leadership of Ci Ye, they have goals and goals every day, and they work harder. It can be said that everything in the tribe is the driving force of the orcs' labor.

Several female fox orcs ran over to help the old fox tidy up the house, and several little fox orcs also ran around in the house.The old fox witch sat on a chair in the living room, looking at them with a smile, with a kind and happy expression on his face.

"Witch, the big witch Ciye also allocated a new house for us. I have my own room and a light stand where I can hang lanterns." A little fox orc climbed up on a chair, sat next to the old fox, and told him own new room.

"Okay, that's not bad!" The old fox witch listened to him and nodded with a smile.

"What is this! There is a glowing mushroom outside the window of my room! There is no need to light the lamp every night, the mushroom will glow by itself!" Another little orc crawled beside the old fox's legs and interjected.

"Wow!" After hearing his words, the other little orcs all exclaimed enviously.

"Hmph!" Earning enough envious looks, the little orc looked proud.

"Cut!" The little fox orc sitting on the chair pouted and turned his head in disdain.

Seeing the two of them angry, the old fox smiled helplessly, and patted their little heads again, making them reconcile as before.Seeing that the little fox orcs are living so well now, his heart is also relieved.

The fox orcs have all moved into the new house, and Ciye is ready to start making paper with Dashi and Fengka.

"Wu, we're here to learn papermaking from you!" Feng Ka brought a dozen orcs who were good at handicrafts to the papermaking site early.

"Okay! You guys just happened to come here, help me peel off the skins of these bamboos!" Ci Ye was now holding a machete, dealing with the chopped bamboos.

There is still a long process to go before turning bamboo into paper. The first step is to peel the bamboo, and then cut off the bamboo nodes and cut into sections.

"Good witch!" Everyone saw that there were so many bamboos to deal with, and they all picked up the machetes placed next to them and started working.

The whole morning passed in a hurry, Ciye and the orcs kept their hands on, and quickly processed several piles of bamboo.

"Wu, all the pools you want are ready!" Dashi ran over and said to Ci Ye with a smile.Ci Ye asked him to build a pulp making pond a few days ago, and it is almost dry now and can be used.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Ci Ye also smiled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said to Feng Ka and the others, "Everyone, carry all these bamboo pieces up, we are going to put them in the pool."

"Okay!" The orcs nodded, picked up the bundled bamboo and followed Ci Ye.

The pool is near the paper-making site, and water has already been placed in it. Put all the treated bamboo in, soak for a period of time, and then proceed to the next process—cooking, mashing, and making pulp.

Soon, several large pools were filled with bamboo, and the bamboo in the first pool was almost soaked.Ci Ye and the orcs fished out the bamboo, steamed it in a large pot, and poured it into another smaller pool to make pulp.

Now, there is a pool of muddy water in the pond. The orcs are all curious to see the water, wondering what is the use of this water?Is it really possible to create the "paper" mentioned by the witch?

"Paper making is still the last step." Seeing the doubtful eyes of the orcs, Ci Ye said with a smile, "Then just copy out the paper pulp and cover it on the model."

Taking out the prepared wooden tools, they lay down by the pool and made paper. The paper pulp was covered on the wooden curtain frame, and Ci Ye and the orcs moved these wooden frames to the sun to expose them to the sun.

After a period of time, these pulps are baked and dried to obtain clean and tidy sheets.

The densely packed models soon filled the entire square. Seeing these semi-finished products, Ci Ye also showed a satisfied smile.

When these papers are made, he plans to record some common animals, plants, beasts and ores like the books carried by the grandmother in the game.With the system in place, he can obtain the most well-prepared information, and he hopes that this knowledge can be passed down from generation to generation.

A few days later, under the continuous baking of the sun, the tribe's first batch of paper finally came out.

Ci Ye gently peeled off a piece of paper from the model.The onlookers also held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

"Wow—"

A whole sheet of snow-white and smooth paper came out of the mold and was held by Ci Ye. It was slightly transparent in the sun and made a sound when it was blown by the wind.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! This is paper—" the orcs gasped in admiration when they saw the snow-white paper.

"It's the same as cloth, but thinner than cloth!" The orcs stroked it with their hands, and the paper under their hands was thin and a little rough.I heard that the paper is very fragile and easily broken, so they were careful when touching it.

"This is paper. We can write and draw on it in the future. It is a very useful thing!" Ci Ye put the paper away and explained to the orcs.

The first batch of paper was successfully produced, and he was also very happy. He estimated that he could start teaching the orcs to read and write soon.

"Okay! I also want to learn to draw and write as soon as possible!" an orc couldn't help but speak, his eyes revealed the light of expectation.

"Everything that the witchcraft taught us is very useful, and writing and drawing must be very good things!" Another orc also interjected.

Although they don't know what it's like to draw and write, Ci Ye has never let them down, so they are all full of expectations and trust in Ci Ye's words.

Paper was made from bamboo, and Ciye tried again with wood and reeds, and both made good paper.With so much paper, the study of the tribe has taken the first step.

Of course, making paper does not mean that you can start learning to write immediately. There are two other key things, that is, the pen and ink used for writing.

In the system, Ci Ye found the option of [Quill Pen] in the [Tools] bar. This pen is made from the long and hard feathers of birds. After cleaning the root and interior of the feather, make it at the root of the feather Take out the nib, and such a quill pen is made.

"This is the quill?" Looking at the quill made from the hair from the tail of the chicken raised by the tribe, Ci Ye dipped some grass juice and tried it out, and it felt good to use.

"If Jing Kong is here, maybe you can use the hair on his tail to make a pen!" Ci Ye thought while touching his chin. He remembered Jing Kong's beautiful blue tail feathers shining brightly in the sky. It is an excellent quill material.

But quill pens have a short lifespan, so Ci Ye made some brushes out of animal hair.The treated wool is tied neatly with cotton thread, and then glued to the pen holder with snow glue, and a simple brush is completed.

Such brushes can be dipped in ink and are more durable than quills, and the raw materials are easy to find. The orcs are full of hair.So Ci Ye made more brushes, intending to use them as the main writing tool.
