Make paper to make pancakes
After a long time of practice, Chu Ying can already accurately shoot the bouncing cloth ball, from holding the arrow in the quiver behind her back to putting the arrow on the string and then shooting it out Chu Ying is already very coherent, basically can complete the launch of the arrow in 3 seconds, and her accuracy has gradually improved.
Chu Ying made the cloth ball smaller, and there was originally a fist-sized cloth ball that was made into a four-fist-sized cloth bag by Chu Ying, due to the limited width of the room, Chu Ying could only use guò to make the cloth ball small to simulate long-distance hunting.
The smaller size of the cloth ball made it more difficult, Chu Ying quickly loaded the arrow and then aimed and let go, although he only wiped the edge of the cloth ball and shot it on the wooden wall behind, but there was still some hope. Practice is boring, but every small improvement and breakthrough is the best motivation.
Chu Ying wiped the fine sweat off her forehead, changed into a thinner winter coat, and saw that the wooden wall behind her had been stabbed into a hornet's nest by arrows, Chu Ying planned to weave a reed mat and hang it on the wooden wall first.
There are some places on the wooden wall that have been repeatedly shot and are about to pierce, although it is almost spring, but the weather is still very cold, I don't want to be blown cold by the cold wind, or I have to protect the wooden wall.
Chu Ying put the bow and arrows away, sat on the sofa and began to weave the reed mat, the reeds piled up in the reed house were originally for ignition, but she had made sufficient preparations so that the reeds were really useless.
Reed mats are different from bamboo mats, because the reeds are hollow cylindrical, it will be difficult to use the same cross weaving method as bamboo mats, and the simplest, quickest and most convenient way is to wrap the reeds together with threads.
First fix a rope on a reed, and then wrap a circle with a thread every time a reed is added, because it is to protect the wooden wall from being shot through, Chu Ying has already worn a row of reeds and then fixed a row with a line at intervals, so that it is difficult for fingers to pass through the two reeds The binding distance is appropriate.
After making the reed mat, Chu Ying hung the reed mat on two beams and covered it on the wooden wall opposite, so that there was at least one layer of protection. This reed mat looks simple in color and strong in texture, Chu Ying, who originally wanted to use linen cloth as a partition between the bedroom and the living room, thought that it might be more economical to use a reed mat.
Chu Ying moved a few more bundles of reeds from the reed house, first cut the reeds to the same length with a sickle, and then spread them on the ground, Chu Ying sat on the ground and slowly weaved the reeds, and when Chu Ying was ready, she moved to the bedroom, tied the reed curtain on the side of the attic entrance in the middle of the house, and the ladder leaning on the beam was quite stable.
The attic is made above the living room, and the living room of the attic is also close to two meters high, so there is no sense of oppression, and the bedroom is where Chu Ying stays for a long time, hoping to be open enough. Chu Ying gestured that she still needed three, so she went to the kitchen to continue weaving reed mats.
When the reed mats were made enough, Chu Ying moved them to the bedroom for detailed tailoring, because they were placed in the living room to face guests, Chu Ying trimmed the edges of the reed mats as neatly, people with obsessive-compulsive disorder can't afford to hurt them, and it has taken Chu Ying a long time just to build the reed mats.
Chu Ying deliberately made the reed mat a little narrower on the side near the door, because it was too long, and the whole curtain would be heavier, and it would be very inconvenient to enter and exit. Chu Ying wrapped the edge of the narrow curtain with a cloth edge, so that it would not scratch when pushing the curtain open and going out.
When it is tied, it is almost dark, but the reed curtain that looks like a thin wall is still quite good, so that the original room is separated into a bedroom and a living room, the bedroom does not need to be very large, if it is too big, the heat of the body is lost relatively quickly, just like the emperor has the entire palace but only a small piece of sleeping place, in order to gather qi.
The wardrobe Chu Ying also embroidered several concentric circles on it, looking more lively and a little angry, and Chu Ying tied cloth heads on the top and both sides, so that the appearance is unified and will not be very abrupt. Chu Ying put the original two-story small cabinet at the head of the bed to make a bedside table, which was used to put candles.
When the room was cleaned up and the cut reeds were swept out, Chu Ying went to cook with peace of mind, although the new things added to the room looked dispensable, but it made this room feel like home, not just a place to sleep.
There are many places that are not suitable for coming here, such as the concept of no underwear, cleaning relies on grass and wood ash, rich people's soap beans and other things, these can be adapted and solved, but there is no toilet paper and can only use bamboo chips to solve the problem of going to the toilet It is indeed a little embarrassing, although I have such an experience when I go out on a jungle mission or survive in the wild, but there has been no toilet paper is indeed unacceptable to Chu Ying.
But the price of paper is higher, and it is too luxurious to use it as toilet paper, Chu Ying went to the city market to see it many times before he reluctantly reluctantly eliminated the fastest solution, so Chu Ying could only hope to make paper by himself, but there are many ancient papermaking processes, including chopping bamboo and drifting ponds, boiling and fire, swinging into the curtain, covering the curtain and pressing paper, and drying through the fire.
Chu Ying read in Tiangong Kaiwu that there is a method that does not need to make paper, first boil the material, put the bluestone on the kang, burn the fire below, and then dip the brush in the pulp, brush it thinly on the stone surface, and lift it up to be a piece of paper, because there are only a few words Chu Ying is not very sure, but the method feels the same as a pancake.
Chu Ying continued to mash the pulp that was vomited in the clay pot with a wooden stick, this pulp has been soaked for almost half a month and it is not very even, wait tomorrow to try to see if you can make paper, thinking of pancakes Chu Ying looked at the chestnut cakes under the shelf, she may be able to improve the food and make something different.
But theory is easy and practice is difficult, just looking for stones made Chu Ying tired, Chu Ying went home and poured all the stones he collected out of the back basket, and then replaced the felt shoes with cotton shoes, and put the felt shoes wet by the snow next to the stove to bake.
Chu Ying picked up the stones and put them in the stove fire, these stones have different textures, but they are all larger and thinner, so that it is convenient to make the paper bigger when the time comes, and it can also be heated evenly and quickly conducted.
When the stone is dried and the water drips can be dried immediately, Chu Ying brushed the pulp on it with a brush made of cattail, but the pulp was not thin enough, and when the paper dried, there was only a thin layer, and it would be broken if it was torn lightly, but this was also paper, Chu Ying folded the paper in half and then folded it in half, so that the thickness would not be particularly fragile.
Chu Ying made all the vomited pulp, some of the paper was thick and some thin, and some of it was broken when it was torn, although the process was difficult, she still made a pile of toilet paper, and finally lived up to her vomiting pulp for more than half a month.
Chu Ying put the stone for making paper on the shelf with a bamboo clip, tried a few more stones, picked the smoothest stone, put the stone in a clay pot and sterilized it with boiling water, this stone is to be used to make pancakes, but it has to be cleaned.
After the stone rolled for a long time, Chu Ying picked it up and put it on the stove to bake, Chu Ying washed the clay pot to cook and put it on the stove to cook, and the stove first tested whether it could make pancakes, Chu Ying brushed the chestnut paste with salt on the stone, and then shoveled it up with a wooden shovel and turned it over when it was cooked.
This stone can indeed be used to make pancakes, but the speed is not as fast as that of an iron plate, but this is already very good, Chu Ying knocked an egg on the pancake, and used a wooden spatula to resist it to prevent the egg liquid from leaving the stone, and when it was fried, Chu Ying rolled up the pancake, and it felt great to take a bite.
