Traveling through the world of beasts: Lingquan space has some fields

Qiao Xin fixed the paper-making curtain on the paper-making frame, and the paper-making frame sank into the pool. As the paper-making frame was lifted up, the brown-yellow pulp swung down slowly. Qiao Xin shook the paper-making frame, and the pulp was evenly distributed on the paper-making curtain with the fluctuation of the water flow. Then he lifted the paper-making frame, and the water drained out from the paper-making curtain and was firmly adsorbed on the paper-making curtain.

Qiao Xin's eyes lit up. Looking at the finished product, it was pretty good. This was the first time she had such an effect. Qiao Xin was very satisfied.

Qiao Xin took the paper-copying curtain off the frame and turned it over. The still wet paper on top instantly came off and was placed flat on the wooden board.

Papermaking depends entirely on experience. The more Qiao Xin makes paper, the more skilled she becomes. In the beginning, she couldn't control the amount of water, which resulted in uneven thickness of the paper. But later, when she put it down, she knew that the pulp was in place.

Qiao Xin was busy until the sun sank into the ground, and Mao Bai came over to call her to eat.

Now only Mao Bai's family and Qiao Xin and a few others are left at home to have dinner.

Every meal consists of two dishes and one soup: a bowl of vegetables, a bowl of meat, and a bowl of soup, mostly meat soup. The duck eggs they brought have been eaten, and the wild ducks and pheasants caught by the hunting team are kept near the north of the city. There are very few eggs laid at present, so they have to feed the cubs first.

Even though the ingredients are not abundant, Mao Bai still cooks different dishes every day, trying to get Qiao Xin to eat more.

Qiao Xin felt that Mao Bai's cooking skills were getting better and better, even better than hers. She ate two bowls of rice every day.

After dinner, Qiao Xin took the lantern and went to the pool to continue copying paper.

Qiao Xin was busy until the moon rose above the branches. She had almost finished making the first batch of paper pulp. She pinched her sore arms and went back to sleep.

The next day, early in the morning, the whistle for work sounded. Qiao Xin opened her eyes, dozed off in bed for a while, then got up to brush her teeth and wash up.

For breakfast, Qiao Xin had porridge with bacon buns. After eating, she looked at the results of her work from last night.

After removing the wooden boards and stones that were pressing on the paper, the moisture inside had been drained out. Qiao Xin carefully tore off the paper layer by layer and put it in the sun to dry.

Since there was not enough space in the yard to dry the papers, Qiao Xin went to the roadside to dry them. Fortunately, the papers were hung on the rack instead of on the ground.

Now all the concrete ground in the city is filled with wheat and corn drying in the sun.

Only one path is left for everyone to walk on.

Qiao Xin started making the second batch of paper pulp. She was busy from sunrise to moonrise. For several days in a row, even though she watched more and more paper taking shape, she could not dispel her physical fatigue.

Qiao Xin collapsed on the sofa and let out a long breath. No wonder handmade things are so expensive!

Some insignificant jobs, if done for a long time, can make a person exhausted.

Especially when she was trying to make paper, she used the ready-made pool at home, squatting, bending over, and standing up, repeating this thousands of times, which could really be life-threatening.

If paper is to be produced in large quantities in the future, this low pool will definitely not work. We must make a pool that does not require squatting and bending over. It is best to make paper while standing. The pulp can be beaten with a water wheel, which can be converted into power to save labor.

It will be time to pound the wheat after a while. We will pound the wheat when we are not making paper.

The lifespan of a stone trough built with cement is short under the force. The best way is to dig a round hole in a natural and complete stone to pound the wheat and remove the shell.

"Niu Biao."

Niu Biao came out of the shower room, holding a kitten in his arms and brushing its fur, "Master Qiao Xin, you called me."

Qiao Xin nodded, "Help me get a few square mortars tomorrow."

“No problem.” Niu Biao went back to continue bathing the kittens. He had six kittens at home, and none of them liked to take a bath. Bathing them every day was like a battle.

Mao Bai discussed with him that they would not wash so often when the weather got colder.

Qiao Xin listened to the exclamations in the shower room, and relaxed while lying there. Suddenly, she sat up and ran to the door of the shower room and stood still. "Mao Bai, the kitten was born this spring. There are also several cubs born in the tribe in the spring. Why haven't they transformed yet?"

She remembered that when she met Langyu, the little guy could transform when he was just a few months old, but he was unstable.

When Mao Bai was a slave, he had waited on his master when he gave birth to cubs and had taken care of cubs. He understood more than Qiao Xin. "It depends on talent. A talented person can transform in a few months. I'm afraid the six of us are just ordinary orcs. There are very few people like Lang Yu."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, next spring, when they are one year old, the cubs will slowly transform."

No wonder the orcs didn’t find it strange to see Lang Yu transform. It turns out they all knew about this phenomenon.

Mao Bai smiled and said, "The cubs you and the clan leader will have will definitely be more talented than Lang Yu."

Qiao Xin curled her lips slightly and said, "Don't mention it." Thinking of the scene of Li Xi giving birth to cubs, she had a psychological trauma.

Mao Bai put the washed kitten into Niu Biao's arms, and Niu Biao went out holding the kitten.

Qiao Xin stood at the door and watched Mao Bai clean the wooden basin and hang it on the wall. "Do you and the tribe leader want cubs this winter?"

Qiao Xin blushed slightly. Although she had given birth to many children, she was still a little embarrassed when it came to giving birth. "Let nature take its course."

Mao Bai thought so too. How could such a thing happen just by wishing for it? "You and the tribe leader are so strong. You will definitely give birth to a child of your love next spring."

The fruit of love!

Qiao Xin's eyes suddenly lit up. She liked this word and suddenly felt that having a child was not such a difficult thing to accept.

Then she frowned again. They had agreed to leave the tribe and travel to the Orc Continent next spring after arranging the spring plowing. Now that they had cubs, they might not be able to go. She treated Mao Bai as a good friend and told him her thoughts.

Mao Bai didn't even think about it and said as a matter of course: "It's okay to give birth to a cub. You can leave it in the tribe. The witch will definitely teach it well, and the tribe members will treat it like their own child."

Qiao Xin: “…” Doesn’t this mean they will become left-behind children?

She doesn't want it.

It’s better to wait for Lang Rui to come back and discuss it with him.

I don't know if there is any contraceptive method in the Orc Continent.

Qiao Xin asked Mao Bai: "Will you not get pregnant at other times? Only in winter?"

Mao Bai scrubbed the towel with soap, "Yes, all orcs only get pregnant in winter and give birth to cubs in spring."

Qiao Xin understood. This was the natural law of the Orc Continent. No wonder she and Lang Rui did not take any measures, but there was no movement at all.

"I'll go get you some water for a bath."

"No, I'll do it myself. Go check on Niu Biaohan! I heard him screaming. He must have been scratched by a cat again."

Mao Bai pursed his lips and smiled, "He enjoys it."

When Qiao Xin went to fetch water, she almost dropped the bucket. She had overused her arms for several days and her arms were so sore that she couldn't even lift water. She hadn't exercised properly since coming to Black Rock City.

Start exercising tomorrow.

As a result, after taking a shower and finishing my work in the space, I slept until the sun rose the next day, and then I woke up, "..." I will start exercising tomorrow.
