Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 62 Ways to Make Money

Quills are not difficult. Clean the selected feathers, dry them, insert them into the sand, and heat the sand... After the heat treatment, the quills will become opaque and more durable.

Then use scissors to cut obliquely at the root of the quill, and make an oblique cut of about [-] to [-] degrees. Use a toothpick to hollow out the scale-like substance in the quill, then use a knife to trim the nib and cut the middle seam, and then polish the nib... …

Then clean the goose feathers near the nib and finger grip, so as not to hinder the grip.

Yin Tao started by hand and scrapped two goose feathers, but later she used her supernatural ability to ensure the accuracy of her knife, and finally the production was successful.

"Little aunt, what's so interesting about this goose feather?"

In the afternoon, when the kids came back from the private school, they saw Yin Tao concentrating on fiddling with goose feathers in the yard.

After finishing the last two quills, Yin Tao replied to the children: "I'm making a pen, this is a quill."

"Quill?"

"What is a quill?"

"Can you write?"

"You are stupid, the pen must be for writing."

"But can this goose feather really write? That's not the case with brushes."

"Little aunt says if you can write, you can write!"

When Yin Tao got up and went back to the house to get ink and paper, several children started arguing in the yard.

"Which of you will help me grind the ink?" Yin Tao came out from the backyard with something, and asked a few children.

Youdi was the first to rush over to take the ink stick and inkstone from Yin Tao's hand: "I'll do it! I'm doing a good job, little aunt, and the master also praised me!"

In the yard of Yin’s house, there is a long, rough table surrounded by a few small bamboo chairs.

She sat down first, put the paper and the rest of the quill pens away, poured some water into the inkstone, and rubbed the ink carefully with the ink stick.

Soon, the water in the inkstone turned into thick ink, Yin Tao picked up the quill pen and dipped some ink, scraped the tip of the pen against the edge of the inkstone to remove excess ink, and then began to write on the paper.

What she writes is Arabic numerals, and the writing effect is similar to that of later generations of pens. As for the shortcoming of easy dripping of ink... this can be overcome after writing more and getting the feeling.

Yin Tao's mood soared.

After writing two sets of Arabic numerals, I started to write, and silently wrote a section of "San Zi Jing".

A few children around her clapped their hands and exclaimed. I don't know where they wholesaled free rainbow farts, and they came out in strings.

Mrs. Xu and the others were also attracted here. Although each of them could not read, they had never eaten pork or seen pigs run away. ) writing... Ouch, the peppercorns are so big.

What does this show?

It shows that their sister-in-law (granddaughter) is better than a scholar!

You Jin shook Yin Tao's sleeve and asked excitedly: "I heard Master said that he is copying books and selling them to bookstores, and he said that the most important thing is to write well in lowercase.

Little aunt, did you write Xiaoxiaokai? "

As soon as his words fell, everyone stared at Yin Tao with bright eyes.

No matter how thick-skinned Yin Tao is, he is a little hot at this moment: "Really? You can also copy books and sell them?" Didn't there be printing in ancient times?Why copy books and sell them?

I don't understand.

Several children nodded sharply: "Our master said that many scholars from poor families and good handwriting will copy books and sell them. One can strengthen memory, and the other can be exchanged for some money to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

"Our master also said that copying a copy of the "Three Character Classic" can earn three hundred Wen!"

"150 texts of "Hundred Surnames", 280 texts of "Thousand Characters"..." The children remembered the price clearly.

(Of course remember clearly, money can buy meat, it can buy meat!!!)
Their wife is a talkative person. Apart from lecturing to them, he also likes to tell them about scholars and his experience in studying and taking exams.

Overall, he's a pretty good guy.

"You guys don't make a fuss, you don't even have a sister-in-law!" After hearing this, the old lady got angry, why?One by one, is this going to heaven?How dare she persuade her precious granddaughter to copy books and sell them?
After finishing speaking, the old lady unceremoniously gave You Jin Youdi and others a few hits, and the children who were beaten screamed and jumped up and down all over the yard.

Mrs. Guo frowned, feeling sorry for her son, but she didn't dare to stop the old lady. She reached out and poked Gu's waist. Mrs. Gu was watching the old lady beating the child with a smile. She turned to look at Mrs. Guo: "Sister-in-law, what are you stabbing me for?"

"It's nothing." Mrs. Guo rolled her eyes in her heart, what are these silly roe deer brothers and sisters doing shouting so loudly?
The old lady looked over.

What should she say?

Mrs. Guo wanted to push Mrs. Gu to stop the old lady, but now that Mrs. Gu drew the old lady's attention, she dared not act like a monster.

All the words are stuck in my throat, I dare not speak, and I will choke if I swallow it.

Very distressing.

Can Mrs. Xu not understand her two granddaughter-in-laws?

She snorted coldly and opened her mouth to scold, when she heard her precious granddaughter speak.

"Grandma, don't beat them up, you guys come here." Yin Tao called the children over. "Let me ask you, have you finished studying the classics of "Three Characters", "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Thousand Characters"?"

"After learning the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Surnames", I just can't memorize them." Youcai said, rubbing his palms.Because he couldn't memorize it, he was beaten a lot by his master.

"Well, from today onwards, I will teach you how to write "Three Character Classics" and "Hundred Family Surnames". When you finish writing the characters, we will sell them at bookstores.

Do you want to make money? "

Yin Tao thought it over, even if the bookshops don't accept them, they can sell them on the street, at worst, it will be cheaper.

There are not many words in "San Zi Jing", and it doesn't take much effort to finish a book.

"Hundred Surnames" has even fewer characters.

"Thousand Character Classic" has a little less characters than the Three Character Classic.

how many kids:……

write?
It's so difficult.

But can you make money...

Earn money to buy meat!Buy a lot of meat to eat!

"Don't write with a brush, write with a quill, it's much easier to write with a quill than with a brush!" Yin Tao tempted them. "Why don't you try it first, I'll teach you how to write a few characters first, and then you can decide, okay?"

"Okay!" Several children agreed in unison, let's try it first, there will be a lot of meat, and even if you try, you can't write a few words.

Yin Tao asked them to sit around the table, then went back to the room and took out some papers, and distributed the papers and pens to several children.

She taught Zhanmo first, and the children listened very seriously... Making money is the carrot that Yin Tao hangs in front of their eyes.

Thinking of earning so much money by copying a book, the children became very enthusiastic.

Not only the children were enthusiastic, but Xu and the others were also extremely enthusiastic.

Gu's heart kept repeating a sentence, earning more money than her embroidering handkerchiefs...
