Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 26 The Reader

They are all door-to-door, and the aunt did not dare to deceive her. Seeing her being so sincere, she immediately smiled, "Don't worry, I think you may not be able to plant it."

Even so, she didn't believe it.Since she could get so many vegetables, why didn't she grow them with her relatives, it was just too difficult.

Yun Yiyi asked: "The court distributes these seeds for free every year."

The aunt's eyes flickered, and she avoided the topic, "If you want to buy seeds, you can come to me in the future, and I promise to keep them for you first."

Yun Yiyi didn't ask much, and quickly thanked her.

But she understood in her heart that it said it was free, but she probably wanted to sell some of the seeds, and only distributed some of the seeds for free, while the other seeds were given to middlemen for them to sell and make money.

What's more, this kind of vegetable can't be grown in the first place, and these little hands and feet won't be found above.

This kind of thing happens everywhere, and Yun Yiyi doesn't judge right from wrong, anyway, the price these middlemen sell is not high, she can afford it and is willing to spend the money.Besides, since the aunt has promised her so much, it will be much more convenient for her to buy vegetables in the future.

And the aunt felt that she was a big customer, so she didn't dare to neglect her.

After buying the seeds she needed, Yun Yiyi was about to go home when she suddenly passed by a bookstore.

The bookstore is very remote, built at the end of the street, no wonder she didn't notice it last time.

Yun Yiyi glanced at the two cubs.

The two cubs had clear eyes, and looked at Yun Yiyi ignorantly.

Yun Yiyi untied the rope around them, and held their hands on the left and right sides.

Yan Dashuang said, "Mom, what is that?"

"This is Shusi." Although the ancient characters were not simple at all, with many arms and legs, Yun Yiyi could still recognize them.

Yan Dashuang lowered his cheeks and said nothing, probably didn't understand.

At her age, she is still in kindergarten, but there is no such thing in ancient times.

Yun Yiyi thought for a while, and said to them seriously: "You guys also need to study in the future, you know? You must learn to read first, otherwise you won't know a word, and you will be bullied if you go out."

Yan Xiaoshuang raised her head, "literate?"

"Yes, I'll take you to pick out two books first." After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she led the two cubs into the book shop.

The owner of the book shop is a man in his 40s. Although the old robes on his body have been washed white, they are meticulously dressed without any wrinkles.There is also a young man sorting out books.

When the boss saw a woman coming in, he didn't show any expression, and just sat on the chair leisurely without raising his eyelids.

This book shop is not big, but it has a complete range of books. Yun Yiyi flipped through it briefly and saw some familiar books, such as "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Book of Songs", etc., as well as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Natural History" "" Porcelain Making".

The current emperor still encourages everyone to read more, and all types of books are open.

However, in this era when it is difficult to have enough to eat, there are not many people who read books.

Yun Yiyi picked out several books one by one, and when she went to check out, the old gentleman flicked the abacus expressionlessly, and said, "It's five taels of silver in total."

Her consumption here has always been calculated in copper coins, a tael of silver can buy a lot of things, she did not expect these broken books to be so expensive.

But she paid the money anyway, and when she saw the pens, ink, papers and inkstones behind, she also bought some, and spent another tael of silver.

You must know that some families only earn one tael of silver a month.

No wonder no one is willing to support their children to study. The cost of books and paper alone is not a small expense.

As far as she knows, there are very few literate people in their village.

After Yun Yiyi bought something, she was about to leave when a man who looked like a scholar walked in. When he saw the book Yun Yiyi bought, he smiled at her.

The boss immediately warmed up and said, "Mr. Ji, why did you come so early today?"

The man smiled and said, "Come early while you're going to the market today."

He opened the package, and there were more than a dozen books in it, all of which were "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and the handwriting on the pages was exactly the same.

Yun Yiyi glanced at the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" she bought, and the handwriting was also exact.

The boss said: "Mr. Ji's handwriting is getting better and better."

He copied all these books, no wonder Fang smiled at her.

There is no movable type printing in this era, and every book needs to be excerpted manually, but there are very few people who can write.

Yun Yiyi stood for a while, the man turned around, suddenly bent down and touched Yan Xiaoshuang's head, "What's your name?"

Yan Xiaoshuang said childishly, "Yanhen."

"Yan Guo Wuhen is a good name." The man said in a kind tone.

Yan Xiaoshuang didn't understand, she just blinked her eyes in doubt.

Yan Dashuang stretched out his fat claws, grabbed the man's hand, and moved it away from Yan Xiaoshuang's head with great effort.

He didn't think about it so much, he just felt that his brother's head should not be touched by outsiders.In addition, his head is also very round, why he only touches his brother's.

The reason why Mr. Ji talked to Yan Xiaoshuang was that Xiaoshuang was closer to him. He liked chubby children, so he patted his head.Unexpectedly, a fatter cub popped out from the side all of a sudden, and it looked exactly the same.

"My name is Yan Chu." Yan Dashuang announced his family name with a clear and resonant voice.

Mr. Ji said gently: "Is this girl here to buy books for her family?"

Yun Yiyi nodded without denying it.

He said: "My name is Ji Xun, and I am a teacher in the county. These two children will be able to go to school in a few years. If you are interested, you can come to this bookstore to find me."

Before Yun Yiyi could reply, the owner of the bookstore said: "Mr. Ji rarely accepts students. I think these two children are smart, so they may indeed be good seedlings. If Mr. Ji comes to teach in person, maybe he will be a scholar in the future Woolen cloth."

Yan Dashuang only understood that others praised him for being smart, so he proudly puffed out his chest.

Yan Xiaoshuang walked up to Ji Xun and asked, "Is reading fun?"

Mother wants him to study, this man also wants him to study.Yan Dashuang doesn't know what reading is now, but just thinks it is something delicious.But after listening to it for so long, Yan Xiaoshuang seemed to realize something.

He raised his head, Ji Xun could see his serious big eyes and white cheeks from this angle.

Ji Xun squatted down and looked at him at the same level, "After studying, you can know many words, make many friends in the school, and earn a lot of money in the future."

Pointing to the book in his hand, Yan Xiaoshuang said seriously: "How much money can you make by copying such a book?"

The boss didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This book store belongs to Mr. Ji, so how can I ask for money?"

It turned out that this book shop belonged to Ji Xun, and the boss was just hired by him to look at the shop.

Yun Yiyi rubbed her chin, it seems that in this ancient times, the status of scholars was still very high.

This is of course, anyone who enters the court and becomes an official needs culture.

Yun Yiyi didn't think about it for so long, but she didn't allow the two cubs to be illiterate.

She smiled sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Ji."

Ji Xun looked so gentle, he should not be a teacher of corporal punishment.It would be nice if the two cubs could worship him as their teacher in the future.

Ji Xun said: "Nothing, I think these two children are very gratifying."

Yun Yiyi curled her lips, didn't she just grow fat?
Ji Xun seemed to like Yan Xiaoshuang very much. He pointed to a book and said, "A book like this can be sold for five cents if you copy it."

Yan Xiaoshuang snapped her fingers and couldn't count for a long time, she was so anxious that her head broke out in hot sweat.

Yun Yiyi was shocked: "It's only five cents for one person to copy such a thick book?"

Ji Xun nodded, "Yes, if the girl has someone she knows, she can introduce someone to copy the book."

Everyone called her a girl, but Yun Yiyi felt a little embarrassed. The countryside is not so particular, and she didn't tie her hair up in a bun when she went out, so she tied her hair up casually, "These two are my sons."

Ji Xun seemed a little surprised, but he was not rude. Although the three of them looked good, the two cubs didn't look like Yun Yiyi.

There has always been a shortage of people who copy books, because there are few people who can read, and there are very few people who can write clear and clean handwriting.The young masters of those rich families can write, but they certainly don't want to do this kind of thing.How many children from ordinary families can write clean and neat words?That's why Ji Xun transcribed it himself.

Yun Yiyi agreed, and left holding the book and holding the hands of the two cubs.

A book can be sold for one tael of silver, that is, more than 1000 copper coins.It would take at least a few days and nights to copy a book, but he was only given five copper coins.

Not worth it.

Yun Yiyi has always disliked copying books, but now she thinks, if there is printing, how many human beings will be benefited.

The principle of printing is not difficult, but she doesn't need it now, and if she needs it in the future, she might not be able to figure out one.

When they went back, the three of them walked on the road, and they were delayed for a while. Now the sun is scorching the earth, making the ground scorching hot.

It only took half an hour to come here, but it took twice as long to go back, Yun Yiyi thought that she must get a car in the future.

When she got home, Yun Yiyi made a pot of rock sugar pear water and kept it in the kitchen.

She put the books on the table, cooled the chicken coop, sprinkled rice and corn kernels to feed them, and brought in the activated charcoal that had been dried in the yard.

Although Yun Yiyi didn't know whether the activated carbon was successfully produced and whether it could filter out magazines in the water, it seemed to be quite plausible.

The grains of black carbonized matter were almost the same as the activated carbon she saw in modern times.

She put the activated carbon inside the filter and blocked it with a partition so that the activated carbon piled up high.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Yan Xiaoshuang looking at him thoughtfully.

There was no expression on his face, and he looked a little dazed.

A little cub, I don't know what I'm thinking all day long.

Yun Yiyi picked him up and felt that his little butt became a little bit firmer, "What do you want to eat later? I'll make it for you."

Perhaps under the influence of Yan Dashuang recently, she eats and sleeps as soon as she speaks.

Yan Xiaoshuang shook his head and asked, "Mother, what is that?"

This question stunned Yun Yiyi. When she made activated carbon, when she introduced water, and even asked carpenters to make filters and faucets, she never concealed the two cubs.

She felt that they were just two cubs who didn't understand anything, and she didn't need to tell the reason, no, Yan Dashuang never asked, knowing that there was water at home, he still should eat and drink.

But Yan Xiaoshuang was not. He thought it was a water demon before, and ran to the kitchen several times to touch it quietly, but later found out that it was just ordinary water.

Yun Yiyi was a little embarrassed. Even if she explained the principle of activated carbon to adults in this era, they might not understand it, let alone a three-year-old cub.

But she didn't want to fool Xiao Zaizai, so she pinched his bulging cheeks and said, "This is called activated carbon. Dirty water can be transformed into clean water through it, which is the water we drink."

Yan Xiaoshuang blinked ignorantly, and suddenly asked: "Is it possible that I will understand these problems after studying."

Yun Yiyi thought to herself, no matter how many books you read, you won't understand.But she nodded, "If you read the book, you will understand more in the future."
