Reborn Just To Be a Big Shot Family Freeloader

  Chapter 16 My Absolute Monkey Brother

   Gongyu Mingxi waved his hand: "Let's eat our food, he won't come back until evening."

The    sisters also think about it.

   After lunch, Qixun continued to copy books, and the three mothers continued to make clothes.

  Lingsu was thinking of making Qixun a pair of shoes that can go out first, but her pair of broken shoes that opened, or the old shoes that her mother found in the hut before she left the pavilion, couldn't go out at all.

  Unfortunately, there are no soles, so the soles have to be starched and dried before the soles can be used.

   By the time the sun went down, the ground outside had already dried a lot after a day of sunshine. In another day, it's good to go out for a walk.

   In one day, Qixun copied a medical book, and the three mothers also made two cotton-padded coats.

Qixun collected the dried paper and placed it neatly, saying, "I do know how to make paper, so tomorrow I will ask my second brother to help me dig a pond at home, and there is no shortage of straw, so I will get some straw paper out first and wait for a while. Now, go to the river pond to cut some papyrus and come back to make some high-grade papyrus paper."

   There is no shortage of papyrus in the countryside, in the fields and by the river, everywhere, but this stuff is a high-grade papermaking raw material.

   For a scientist with a science background, it is not difficult to make paper.

   Of course, it’s impossible to make good paper all at once. Craftsmanship has to be explored little by little.

   Really, papermaking is a priority.

   I'm really fed up with the embarrassment of going to the toilet without paper. Use bamboo chips, stone chips, tree leaves, or something, who knows who uses it!

   First get out the tissue paper, at least you can achieve the freedom to go to the toilet.

   In fact, like Li Qingzhao and Sister Lin, there is also Yahao who makes letterheads in their boudoir, but it is different from serious papermaking. In ancient times, unlike later generations, papermaking techniques were all top secrets in major paper workshops, and it was impossible for ordinary people to know the craftsmanship.

   So when she said this lightly, the three mothers were shocked: "You can even make paper?"

Qixun nodded: "In my previous life, the basic process of these crafts was basically open, not to mention ordinary paper, I knew all about the craftsmanship of moving from south to north. It's just that rice paper is not only craftsmanship, but also has extremely high requirements on materials. Yes, we don't count on it now. But ordinary high-quality mulberry paper, papyrus paper, and bamboo paper are not difficult, as long as you know the process flow. If you want high-quality paper, you can just explore it slowly. I can build it now, get some first and use it when I change clothes. Alas, changing clothes is really hard.”

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

Qixun continued to sigh: "The fire in our house has destroyed all the tissue paper in the house. In my previous life, the toilet paper used in the toilet was softer than silk and satin, not only the hand feel, but also the hygiene requirements. It must meet the standard. Well, speaking of it, toilet paper must be made. In this way, when the mother's month comes, it won't be so troublesome. "

   Gongyu Mingxi blushed and glared at her.

Qixun rolled his eyes and said, "Mother, what's there to say? In my previous life, this was what all of us, male or female, had to teach in the physiology and hygiene class when we were in school. Don't talk about menstruation. , that is, the knowledge of both sexes is something we must learn in our physical hygiene class."

  Niang looked at each other in dismay: "Do you even teach this?"

   Qixun nodded: "It's normal. For example, Sanjie, you are studying medicine. You must learn all these things. For people in later generations, these are normal physiological common sense, and there is nothing to avoid."

   was chatting when Gong Yuhao pushed open the Chaimen outside and entered the courtyard.

   The four mothers and daughters couldn't help but be overjoyed when they looked at him.

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

  Where did he go hunting? Is he the devil entering the village?

   Qixun sneered at the outside: "Second brother, you are no longer my great sage brother, you are a peerless child."

   According to his hunting method, it is estimated that within a few years, all pheasants and hares in the whole mountain will be extinct.

  Lingsu felt bad for her brother, so she hurriedly got off the kang to help, Qixun and Lingyu also got off the kang, one looked at the prey, and the other went to fetch water for Gongyuhao to wash.

   Gong Yuhao entered the main room and put the burden on the ground, and said to Gongyu Mingxi in the room, "Mother, I'm back."

Gongyu Mingxi tidied up the things on the kang, and then went to the main room: "After hunting so many chickens and rabbits, you are in the deep mountains? Why are you so courageous? I don't dare to go in? Look at how wet the clothes are? Hurry up, take off all the clothes, and go to lie down on the kang. Lingsu, when you make a fire for cooking, put your second brother's clothes on. Let the clothes be roasted."

Gong Yuhao said indifferently: "I didn't really go into the deep mountains, I really went a long way. Mother, I'm not what I used to be, or it's not as good as when I was a monkey, I can fly through the clouds and drive the mist seventy-two changes, but the deep mountains come to me. It's really nothing to say. I wanted to get my mother some tiger skins, wolf skins and fox skins back, but unfortunately I didn't even see a badger, otherwise the badger skins would be pretty good. I only got these The pheasant is free to come back. However, there are too many pheasant and hares, and our family can't eat so much, what should we do?"

  Gong Yumingxi glared at him: "No matter how good you are, my mother has never seen it anyway. Can the wolf and tiger be easily touched? You are not allowed to enter the deep mountains in the future! As for these chickens and rabbits"

After thinking for a while, Gongyu Mingxi said: "It is said that we should give some to the elders, but in the current situation of our family, it is estimated that they will not be willing to accept it. You send a chicken and a rabbit to the Zuo family next door. We didn’t eat less of other people’s game. We keep two more for your brothers and sisters, and let’s go to town to sell the rest tomorrow.”

Gong Yuhao waved his hand: "I met Brother Lingzhou on the way back, and I brought him two chickens and two rabbits, and asked him to give half of the second grandpa's house, but he didn't want to give him more. Zuo's family There is no need to send it. Uncle Zuo and I went into the mountain together. My mother wants to sell it, so I will sell it with Uncle Zuo tomorrow. But Uncle Zuo said that we have too many prey this time. There are also dozens of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to sell them in the town, so they have to go to the county seat."

   "Come on, you don't have to take back the money you sold. I think these can be sold for a dozen or so dollars. You can replace them with rice noodles later."

   Yesterday, after I bought silk cotton for quilts and cotton coats, I bought 10 catties of rice, 10 catties of fine noodles, and 20 catties of coarse grains with the remaining money. Even if you count the food sent by the two uncles' homes, it won't last long. Originally, I was thinking of trying to earn some money to buy food these days, but I didn't want this kid to come back with so many prey today.

   A tael of silver is enough to buy more than 200 catties of brown rice. Enough to feed their family of five for a month or two.

   Gongyu Mingxi is in a good mood.

Qixun poked the rabbit with his finger and said, "Then let's iron chicken soup tonight, and use the chicken soup to make the noodles by hand? Alas, it's a pity that there is no chili, otherwise I cut some chopped green onion, mashed some garlic, and sprinkled some Sesame seeds, spiced in oil, poured on chicken soup noodles, I don't know how fragrant it is."

   Qi Xun, who managed to say his saliva, sighed.

   Ask for collection and recommendation tickets
