The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 134 Overcoming Technical Difficulties

"It's better for you not to rob us." Chu Ying raised her eyes slightly, her eyes slightly cold.

The leader pointed at Chu Ying with a smile, "You little brat, just stay there and hand over your things obediently, maybe your lives will be spared."

"I've already warned you." Chu Ying jumped between the five people with a big stride, and hit the leader's side face with a jab, kicked his shovel off, and kicked the man next to him with a wooden stick in a roundabout kick. .

A scythe was drawn towards Chu Ying's face, Chu Ying bent down slightly, lowered her head, touched the ground with her backhand, locked the man with her legs and fell to the ground, and hit his wrist hard with her hand, this force could make him lose his strength for a short time. Active without being disabled.

The few people around looked at Chu Ying, a little kid, and her amazing kung fu, and slowly took a few steps back.

"Drought makes it difficult for everyone, but robbery is a blood-licking business. You must have wives and children at home. Go back quickly, and you will not be able to do farm work if you hurt yourself." The boss took advantage of Chu Ying's turn to take He picked up the shovel and was about to smash it on Chu Ying's head.

Chu Ying dodged sideways, and punched this person hard in the face. The long-term self-training is not for nothing. All fighting needs to be practiced repeatedly, just to let the body form memory and conditioned reflexes. Therefore, many times in fighting, there is no time to think about it at all, and only rely on the most instinctive reaction.

"Brother, stop beating." Several people supported the leader who was bleeding from the nose and had one swollen eye back again and again.

"It's really bad luck. I lost at the hands of such a little kid. It's too embarrassing to walk around." The crowd walked away slowly with support from left and right. After walking a few steps, something smashed towards them.

"If you have the strength, why don't you do more farm work? Take these three pancakes. If you meet someone who is reasonable and report to the government, you won't be able to eat them." Several people picked up the small sack containing the pancakes, Seeing the carriage going away at high speed, several people looked at each other, and were speechless.

When we got home, we saw the papers neatly piled up in the outer hall, and everyone was busy making papers one by one in an orderly manner. Chu Ying found Ye Qiu, who was baking the paper, and hugged her from behind while she was concentrating, " I haven't seen you for a long time, little lady, do you miss me?"

"You little bastard, you have a playful smile on your face as soon as you come back. If you continue like this, you will not be allowed to go to Lu's mansion to learn from that kid. You..." Ye Qiu grabbed Chu Ying's hand and looked at her knuckles. There were some bloodstains, but they were just going to copy books in Lu's mansion, so their hands were still stained with blood. Ye Qiu dipped a face towel in water and wiped Chu Ying's hands well.

"It's nothing, but I got a little scrape on the road, so I'll do it myself." Ye Qiu looked at Chu Ying's hand, which didn't have any wounds after wiping it. It wasn't Chu Ying's blood, but how could it be on Chu Ying's hand? There were bloodstains, and it was not easy to ask after seeing Chu Ying's avoidance.

Chu Ying looked at Bai Yuhe who was breastfeeding the baby while facing the wall while taking a rest. "Bai Yuhe is also very active and down-to-earth when you're not around. With her and Wang Naiyuan's help here, we can handle it."

"Well, that's good. I'm going to build a house in the newly bought bamboo forest tomorrow. It may take a few days." Chu Ying packed some smoked meat and food in a sack.

"Are you alone? You are so dangerous as a girl." Ye Qiu snatched Chu Ying's sack.

Seeing what the two were arguing about, Wang Naiyuan got off the high stool next to Chunzi and walked over to have a look. "It's okay. There will be so many bricks and other objects over there that someone must watch them. It can't be built in a day or two."

"What do you want to build?" Chu Ying looked at Wang Naiyuan, who hadn't seen her muscles for a few days and was much stronger.

"The bamboo forest next to the river on the other side of the mountain has been bought, and the bricks will be delivered tomorrow, and we will start building houses and making paper workshops."

"Let me go, you are really not safe as a girl. You explain the matter well, and I will be there to help you look at things. Don't worry, I won't screw you up."

Chu Ying looked at Bai Yuhe who was puzzled, "This is not good, there is still some farm work in the field, and this child is not yet full moon, you are a father who has not enjoyed family happiness for a few days. It is unreasonable to go to that place to guard."

"It's okay, we need manpower when the time comes, Qian Yong and Lu Meng can come to help, anyway, they are a little closer, this kid doesn't even recognize anyone, it won't be a problem if he goes away for a few months, the farm work at home is just normal It doesn't take much effort to weed and weed here, Yuhe can do it by herself." Bai Yuhe stood up with the child in her arms and listened to the movement here.

"After all, this is not a day or two. You should discuss it with your sister-in-law. If possible, you can rent a car and go to the bamboo forest together." Wang Naiyuan looked at Bai Yuhe behind him, pulled her to a corner and said patiently.

On the second day, Chu Ying and Wang Naiyuan went to the bamboo forest by car. When they got there, no one was there, so Chu Ying asked Wang Naiyuan to wait at the intersection, and she thought about the layout first.

Go upstream at the mouth of the river and look at other bamboo forests. The bamboos in those bamboo forests can go down the water, so it is better to build them at the bottom. The roots start to burn slowly.

When waiting for Uncle Qi and Uncle Qiu to arrive, Chu Ying took out the blueprints drawn last night, and asked the two to adapt to local conditions and save costs as much as possible by using two cooking stoves, a wall for baking paper, five A pond and three chambers were made.

Waiting for the two of them to understand some of Chu Ying's drawings, Chu Ying explained to Wang Naiyuan and drove the bullock cart to the nearest paper workshop to learn from it.

The method used by these paper mills is similar to what Chu Ying used before. They use wooden frames filled with yarn to swing back and forth in a pool filled with pulp, so that the pulp is evenly spread on the wooden frames, and then leaned against the wall to dry. .

The raw materials used are only a few kinds of hemp, "Shopkeeper, can I use bamboo to make paper?"

The shopkeeper of the paper shop looked at Chu Ying who was looking around, and the little furry child seemed to be here to play and make trouble, "How to make paper from bamboo, don't make trouble, go home."

Chu Ying saw that the process here is also to soak the hemp material in plant ash water first, then steam it, and beat it with a big wooden hammer.However, the two convenient and quick methods of making paper and baking paper are really useless. The method of making paper with a wooden frame and drying it really slows down the progress.

Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty improved the papermaking technique. Chu Ying felt that there was her own papermaking technique here, but it had not been perfected and improved. She had only made ancient papermaking a few times out of interest. It is a technical job.

After returning home, Chu Ying could only drive the ducks to the shelves. She selected some bamboos with long knots, broke them open, pressed them with stones and soaked them in the water. After soaking for two days, Chu Ying took out a whole piece of bamboo that was relatively flat. , use an ax to chop slowly into thinner bamboo strips, and then use a knife to chop into very thin bamboo strips, then dry and paint with raw lacquer.

If the paper curtain is soaked in water for a long time, if you don't brush something on it, it will be easier to break.After waiting for a certain amount of thin bamboo strips, Chu Ying asked Ye Qiu to use a rope to tie the bamboo strips together one by one to make a bamboo mat. However, the bamboo strips of this bamboo mat are extremely thin, so they are lighter to hold , and standing in front of you can still see the scenery outside the curtain.
