"No, there are bad things in these made papers, and they can't be used for writing, so they can be used to go to the toilet, and there's nothing to shy away from."

"That's not good, it's okay to have a toilet chip for the toilet, how can you use paper." Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu, who was a little embarrassed, and just wanted to say in her heart that we modern people use toilet paper to go to the toilet, and don't use small bamboo chips to solve it.

"Anyway, it's impossible to use those pieces of paper to write, so it's also the best use of things, and you'll know when you try it, and you can't understand it if you haven't tried it now." Ye Qiu didn't say anything more when he saw Chu Ying say this, after all, she was a maidservant and had no reason to contradict her master.

When the branch fibers have been beaten into a soft dough shape, Chu Ying poured the wood pulp into a wooden basin, poured water and stirred evenly, and then found a large stone and put it on the stove to bake, and dipped the wood pulp with a brush to brush it up, because the branch fibers have been steamed and the grass ash has been stirred and beaten, and the wood pulp is relatively uniform.

The paper is also flatter than the previous one, there is no protruding wood fiber, and the paper is thicker, so it should be more comfortable to wipe PP.

"Chu Ying, how do you do this, you have to use a grate to copy the pulp, and then dry it and tear it off." Although Ye Qiu doesn't know how to make paper, he has also seen how the people in the paper workshop make paper.

"These are mainly used to make toilet paper, and the paper used for writing is useless now, but you can do it again when you learn to write later." Ye Qiu looked at Chu Ying, who brushed a layer of pulp and then slowly waited for the pulp to dry and tore it off, it was true that the second lady had never learned calligraphy, and she didn't know how to use paper.

"Yes, I see." Ye Qiu continued to chop the branches and bark into small pieces, "When it's done slowly in the future, we can sell it, but let's use it ourselves now." ”

Chu Ying has thought about this paper business, but the paper here is sold in large sheets, and she can't find too big a stone, so she can't make such a big paper, even if she makes a cut paper, the size is not very enough, and these stones are uneven, and the paper made is not very flat, and can only be used as toilet paper.

After finding a suitable flat stone, you can build a stove to make paper, Chu Ying has seen that the general paper in the bookstore costs 10 yuan a piece, but the larger one can go home and cut it yourself.

"It's good to have enough for yourself, it's better not to show your face too much, after all, you are a girl, and you can't compare to those young masters and men who can often go out, set up stalls or sell along the street."

Ye Qiu said that he did think about it, it was inconvenient for women to show their heads in this era, but there was no such strict atmosphere in the village, so they could only set up a stall to do some work to earn some money in order to make a living.

"When the time comes, there will naturally be a place to sell it, don't worry about this, I won't go to sell it along the street." After making good quality paper and the output is stable, it is time to worry about sales.

Waiting for Ye Qiu to cook the rice, Chu Ying added a few more fires, and took Ye Qiu to the grove behind to take a look, Ye Qiu could see the ground next to the house by herself, and the grove behind her didn't let her go to see it by herself because of the trap.

Ye Qiu is serious about doing things, not lazy or squeamish, and she is also a servant's heart to herself, the most important thing is that her deed of sale is here for her, she is more relieved these days, you can take her to the back to have a look, so she is not afraid of what bad things she will do to her main source of food.

"These are chestnut trees, and in the back are pine trees, and those are lacquer, and one is cut every two or three days, and then the pine resin and lacquer are taken home, and these are fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms. I went to the foot of the mountain before and saw it and brought it back, but I didn't touch other mushrooms because I didn't know much about them. ”

Ye Qiu looked at the mushrooms that had grown on the ground, he also knew them, and there would be no problem in eating them, and he was a little tired of eating mustard greens and leeks every day, but these mushrooms could be changed in taste.

"It's edible." Chu Ying put a basket on the ground, "You pick those, I'll pick these, so it's easy to share, and the ones that can't be eaten can be dried and stored, and they won't spoil, just pick as many oyster mushrooms as you want." ”

"Okay." Seeing that Ye Qiu didn't have a strange expression, it seems that just like Brother Wang said, the people here eat mushrooms, and they can easily distinguish between poisonous mushrooms and edible mushrooms, it seems that he can only transport more rotten wood with long mushrooms for himself to eat, and he can't make too much money by selling them.

"Ah......" Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu, who was losing color with one foot being hoisted, and almost laughed, but she still quickly rescued Ye Qiu.

"These are the traps I put on them, and they're all marked next to them, you see."

Ye Qiu looked at the practical trap made by Chu Ying, and then looked at Chu Ying who had just reached his chest, it seemed that the second lady had really learned a lot by living alone.

"Where did you learn this? Can you catch something? Chu Ying picked up the basket full of ground in her hand, and pointed out the location of the trap to Ye Qiuyi one by one, mostly on the aisle, and it was easier to see.

"The rabbits in front of the yard were caught, and they had been caught before by pheasants and gophers, and they were eaten if they were not easy to raise. You see...... "Chu Ying untied a dead gopher from the rope.

"Can this be eaten? How dirty it is......" Ye Qiu was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the trunk.

"This gopher eats insects and whole grains, and is cleaner than the ones you see at home." Chu Ying picked up the vole with grass and put it in the basket, looked at Ye Qiu, who was still scared and hid aside, and stretched out her hand to pull her.

"Don't be afraid you're dead."

Ye Qiu looked at the calm Chu Ying, and she didn't know if it was the first time she had eaten this thing, and she didn't know how many times she had eaten it. "Second Miss, are you going to eat this?"

"Although this meat is small, it is also meat, and it tastes good when grilled, but you haven't eaten it before." When they returned to the house, Chu Ying skinned and dirty the vole on the wooden mound, washed it, and put it on the branches.

Seeing Chu Ying skillfully and quickly deal with the vole, Ye Qiu was a little incredulous, the second lady had been afraid of these furry things since she was a child, and she was afraid when she saw blood, and somehow it became like this.

"Second Miss, you used to be very afraid of seeing blood, and you couldn't touch these little things, how can you ...... now" Ye Qiu moved the almost cooked rice away first, and watched Chu Ying slowly roast the vole.

"People always have to grow up, they have to face some things by themselves, what's the use of being afraid, because I don't eat these because I'm afraid, then I'll starve to death, I also did the work of killing pigs, I made a lot of money, and I paid taxes."

Ye Qiu looked at Chu Ying, who might not be as big as a pig in front of him, and said so lightly about killing pigs, killing pigs is something that some adult men can't do, Chu Ying, a 9-year-old girl, can still kill pigs, and I don't know what kind of life Chu Ying is living here.

Ye Qiu hugged Chu Ying and whispered, "It's okay, now that I help you, let's live a good life together, and when the time comes, we can eat meat by raising a few pigs." ”

"I don't plan to raise pigs, first, it's too dirty and tired, second, there is nothing to give it to eat, and third, there is no place, so it's clean and convenient to raise rabbits." Chu Ying looked at the dozen rabbits in the shed and the two female rabbits with bigger and bigger bellies.

"That's right." Ye Qiu raised pigs at home when he was a child, and the smell was really bad, and the pigs ate quite a lot, which was really troublesome compared to the rabbits that ate grass.

"When the time comes, you can raise some dairy sheep, and the taste is still there, but fortunately, the sheep eat grass, and you can raise milk after giving birth, and you can also sell or eat your own when you have more lambs."

I actually had a plan in my heart for this piece of land, but time and funds were limited, and I needed to spend the money on the blade, and Chu Ying didn't consider some things that were not necessary for the time being.
