survival in the wilderness

Chapter 43 Enthusiasm
Lin Yan told Hongying the method of steaming eggs and asked her to try it.

Hongying happily made steamed eggs.

Hong Ling asked curiously, "Steamed eggs are really so delicious?"

"It's delicious, you'll know it when you eat it."

The two continued to discuss the improvement of the textile machinery, and after a while, Shi Zhi came.

Seeing him, Lin Yan was surprised: "How do you know I'm here?"

"Everyone in this area knows that you're here. Hong Ling's mother-in-law went from house to house to show off, saying that you taught her a new kind of food called steamed eggs."

After Shi Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yan, "Why are your sackcloths so torn?"

Lin Yan was also very helpless, "I went to pick up eggs in the pheasant forest, and my clothes were scratched, so I can only wear them like this."

"Let Hong Ling mend it for you." Shi Zhi pointed to Hong Ling, "Her hands are so skillful, you can't see it after mending, it's the same as before."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring the old clothes at home later, and let Hong Ling mend them. When the hemp at home is mature, I can make new clothes."

"Okay, I'll pick it up at your house later, and I'll mend it for you when I come back." Hong Ling said while spinning, "Shi Zhi, come and see. Lin Yangang said that these areas can still be improved."

The three of them discussed around the spinning machine for more than an hour, and Shi Zhi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Lin Yan, why do you have so many new ideas in your head? If you don't tell me, I can't think of such a change."

Hong Ling said: "She is Lin Yan, she knows everything. You still have a lot to learn."

Lin Yan said with a smile: "You are all smart, I just know that it depends on you to make it. When I have paper and pen in the future, I will write everything I know in the book, and you will learn it quickly."

With their intelligence, after reading the principles in the book and some basic knowledge structures, it should not be difficult to understand, and they will definitely be able to make better ones.

Lin Yan suddenly thought that he should select a group of children to start enlightenment education, and teach more while they are young, so that all this can be changed as soon as possible.

These children know the basic characters, can write and count, and it's time to learn new things.

"Hong Ling, Shi Zhi, I want to choose some smart kids to learn something new together, are you interested?"

"Yes, what are you learning?" Shi Zhi said immediately.

Hong Ling also looked at Lin Yan, "What are you going to teach us?"

Lin Yan thought for a while, "You know most of the characters, and you can write them. I want to tell you the basics of mathematics, physics and chemistry."

The two have the same question mark face, "We know mathematics, but what are physics and chemistry?"

"Physics and chemistry are the study of natural science, the study of some basic laws and the structure of matter. For example, why fire burns, why the sun is so hot, etc., and mathematics is the foundation, which uses various calculations, It’s all based on mathematics.”

The two still didn't quite understand, Lin Yan held the spindle on one side and said, "Do you know why a spindle can turn hemp silk into twine?"

The two shook their heads, they only knew that twine could be made in this way.

"See, this is the force generated by the weight of the spindle and the torque of the turning bar, twisting the hemp thread into a rope. This is the effect of force."

……

Lin Yanbaba talked for a long time, and the two finally understood a little bit.

Shi Zhi felt that this was a brand new world, and he was very interested, "When will we learn?"

Hong Ling was also interested. She never knew that a spindle was made in this way. Only by mastering more principles can a better spinning machine be made.

Lin Yan thought for a while: "Let me explain it to you first. I will tell you where I should start. I will tell you in a few days. Who do you think should come to learn with you?"

Hong Ling was the first to think of Hua Hua, "Let Hua Hua come together, her name is Hua Min now. Then call her Shang Ye Ya, he is very smart."

Shi Zhi thought for a while and said: "Shuisheng is also smart, but his mother may not let him come. Then call Lan Yue and Bai Chen, they are very smart and learn quickly."

Lanyue is a child of Alan's family, and Baichen's team leader is the doll of Baiyun's family. They are all four or five-year-old girls.

Lin Yan thought for a while and nodded, "In addition to Huang Ying, she is also very smart."

"Is it Huang Ying from Huang Ye's family?" Hong Ling asked.

There are too many children, and there are many with the same name.

Lin Yan nodded, "I'll go back and prepare things for teaching. The two of you will inform them to bring the slate and charcoal pencils. We'll start again when the time is set."

When they finished discussing and were about to leave, Hongying came in with three small bowls, and said enthusiastically, "The steamed eggs are ready, come and eat, we all have a share."

Looking at the golden steamed eggs, Hong Ling and Shi Zhi couldn't bear it.

After eating it in his mouth, he devoured it even more, and the bowl was clean, as if he had licked it.

"It's so delicious, I still want to eat it. How did you make it? Let my mother make it for me when I get home." Shi Zhi relished the steamed eggs just now, and felt that he could still eat a big bowl.

Hongying said happily: "There is still a bowl in the kitchen, I'll bring it to you right now."

"No, I'll go home and eat." Lin Yan hurriedly stopped, "Shi Zhi, the method of steaming eggs is very simple, let me tell you, let's go home and talk while walking."

Shi Zhi hurriedly responded, "Go, go, go to my house and teach me how to make steamed eggs."

Regardless of Hongying's enthusiastic persuasion, the two slipped away.

The Hongling family has a large population, and there are many disputes, especially when it comes to food.

Lin Yan didn't want to cause disputes because of one bite of food. In the future, when the family has a surplus and no worries about food, this situation may change.

Shi Zhi didn't think too much, he just wanted to go home and make steamed eggs.

His family was relatively small, eight people, it was time for dinner, and the family welcomed Lin Yan very much.

Shi Zhi dragged Lin Yan to the kitchen, started beating eggs and pouring water from clay pots, all in one go.

Shi Zhi's aunt, Shi Lan, held Lin Yan's hand reluctantly, wishing that this was her own daughter.

"Lin Yan, Shi Zhi is playing with you, take care of him more often, if you don't obey, just tell me, and I'll beat him up."

Facing Shi Lan's ardent expectation, Lin Yan smiled a little reluctantly, she was too enthusiastic, and she couldn't resist.

"Aniang, Lin Yan is still young, you will scare her like this." Shi Zhi hurriedly made a rescue, "Aniang, this is a steamed egg, you can eat it first when it is made, it is delicious."

"Steamed eggs, a new way to eat." Shi Lan's eyes lit up, "Tell me how you make it, and I'll find anything you need."

"It's already steamed in the pot, just wait. Mom, you go have dinner with Granny and the others first. Lin Yan and I are waiting for the steamed eggs."

Shi Lan reluctantly let go of Lin Yan, and said: "From now on, I will often come to play at home, and treat this place as my own home. If Shi Zhi bullies you, just tell me..."

When Shi Lan went to eat, Lin Yan looked at Shi Zhi, "Your mother is so enthusiastic. The steamed eggs are almost ready, I'll go home first."

"Go back after eating the steamed eggs, I'll see you off." Shi Zhi pulled Lin Yan to prevent her from leaving.

She is too young to walk around alone.

Lin Yan stayed in the end and saw Shi Zhi's family's love for steamed eggs.
