Chapter 2 Opening Lectures

"These are the shoes you made."

Looking at the old man, with an expression of surprise, Luo Yi didn't know what to say, wasn't it just a pair of shoes? You ask someone to bring shoes, and they don't matter what they do, and the soles are still very thin, and your feet hurt when you walk.

Ah Guo stretched out, put on the feet of the new shoes, and said a little proudly: "Grandpa, this is also made by Forrest Gump, it is very comfortable to wear, and Daddy also has it, but when Forrest Gump was making shoes, his hand was bleeding." ”

"Hmmm! Where there is blood, the child comes to grandpa to see".

Luo Yi can't help it, the tools are too poor, to deal with the hares, wild cats and these hard skins, boiled skin, cool skin, cut skin, and then sewn together with linen, just be pierced by an awl and a little skin, it is also considered luck.

The old man held his hand and looked at it, and when he saw that there was no big problem, he stopped, and said that next time he would not dare to do it himself, tomorrow he would let the two female slaves go over to learn, and he would teach the female slaves what to do next.

People are always very forgetful, and after only a few years of eating, the old man forgot the previous hardships, which may be the nature of human beings.

During this time, I learned that Luo Xiong used to be a hunter, and he only became the commander of the Eighteen Villages five years ago, and Alubai Village was also hungry in the past, as for the reason why Luo Xiong had such a change, it is not known now.

Luo Yi can imagine what Alubai Village was like five years ago, and this patriarch and grandfather are all old people, and now they have two concubines, completely forgetting the enslavement and oppression they received before.

Maybe they think that everything now is what the winner should have, and it's good that their cheap daddy is okay, otherwise, most of the people in the village are okay, but the patriarch's grandfather's family is a little inflated.

A few younger grandchildren of the clan grandfather, all seven or eight years old, have to be fed by female slaves for dinner, Luo Yi was still thinking about getting acquainted with a few children with Ah Guo a few days ago, but when he saw a few cousins who liked to be disabled very much, he lost the mood to want to play, and the key was that this matter was arranged by a few cheap aunts.

Today, I gave the old man a pair of shoes, selling a good one or second, the main thing is to arm myself, I was brought here by God, and now I have a cheap daddy as a backer, if one day, this cheap daddy has some fork, and this cheap grandfather has this virtue, Luo Yi can't imagine what will happen to himself and Ah Guo.

Now that I am only eight years old, I have many children, and it is obviously not very realistic to arm myself with weapons, and the best way is to find more children to play, and I have to play with my feelings, and if I really get to that point in the future, at least there are parents of these children on my side.

Of course, it's best if cheap daddy doesn't have an accident, so that these children grow up with him, and they can be used by me in the future, which is also a very reliable idea that Luo Yi thinks at present.

The idea is good, but it is not easy to implement, now Luo Yi can think of it, and what he can do is to teach people to read, as for whether it is possible, it depends on the patriarch's grandfather.

"At the beginning, you said that you went into the mountains with your master, and then you cooked very deliciously, and thought that your master was a cook, but I didn't expect that you were still literate with your good grandson.

"Tell me how you want to teach them, it's definitely not okay to come, the eighteen villages are hundreds of miles away, and besides, many of them are slaves, teach them what to do."

I don't care much about the old man, I think I'm just a child, and I want to find more playmates, but it's the best.

"Grandpa, I'll teach Alubai Village first, but you have to find me a few children who can speak Chinese."

"Hmmm! Why?"

"Because you have to teach them to speak Chinese first, then they can learn Chinese characters!"

Luo Yi was speechless, it seems that the Han people are not living very well in these eighteen villages, otherwise the old man would not ask so, the Han people here should not have come from the Song Kingdom, either during the Han Dynasty, or during the Tang Dynasty, otherwise they would not have lived so badly.

The agriculture and handicrafts of the Great Song Dynasty were very good, but Luo Yi knew that many civilizations in China were produced during this period, and the Han people here would not be like this if they came from the Song Dynasty.

However, these are just speculations, and what the truth is, it is not something that Luo Yi can know if he has never been out of Alubai Village.

Hearing the explanation, the old man smiled and agreed, and got the result Luo Yi, watching the old man eat the plantain fed by the female slave, Zhiqu and Ah Guo went out and walked towards their home.

"Forrest Gump, don't you like to be at your grandfather's house."

Luo Yi was taken aback, wouldn't he, is he so unbearable? Ah Guo has found out, so won't the old man find out too! This is not a good thing, if the old man says something to his cheap daddy, his good life will come to an end.

This is just Luo Yi thinking too much, Ah Guo is with him every day, so he will find this kind of thing, which he can't see on the bright side.

"I don't like it either, it's better for our family."

"Don't tell anyone else, Daddy can't say it, it's okay Sister Ago."

"It's okay not to say it, I'm going to eat the steamed fish you said at night, and I don't wash the dishes."

Luo Yi is funny, this little girl is taking the opportunity to blackmail herself, and she doesn't want to wash the dishes, big brother, I'm almost thirty, and I can't clean you up.

"It's okay to eat steamed fish, but what's the matter with not washing the dishes, didn't I tell you, only people with disabilities can only eat, can't work, do you imagine your cousins?" (I don't mean to look down on people with disabilities, so I hope you don't get me wrong.)

"Whew! I'll wash it, I'll wash it, but I'm not scared by you, so I want to wash it, and you said that if I tell my eldest cousin, you say they're disabled, you say..."

"Alas!"

This girl is going to become a sperm now! , will speak Chinese for a few days, and now I know that I will threaten myself in turn.

The two chased and ran home, Daddy hasn't come back yet, if he doesn't come back, he won't come back! Anyway, both of them are used to it, Ah Guo picks up Houttuynia cordata, this thing has been dug back from the stream by the village last time, and the cold salad has been eaten once, and it has become a must-have dish at home every day.

In the morning, the slave girl will bring some over, but unfortunately there is no chili, so you can only put some sauerkraut juice, small celery, and salt to marinate for a while.

Ah Guo's request, I dare not forget, pick up a carp from the wooden barrel, remove the scales and gills, wash it clean, and put a small amount of green salt to marinate for a while.

There is no iron pot for cooking, the big copper pot is too bulky, and then in order to increase the hardness of copper, a lot of lead is added, which has rarely been used since Luo Yi took over cooking, although Ah Guo They have eaten it for many years, and they have not seen poisoning, and there is no big mistake in being careful, it is Luo Yi's style.

Pick up the rice soaked in the morning in a copper basin, put it in a wooden steamer, sprinkle the pickled fish with green onions, ginger, garlic, wild mint, and fresh plantain leaves, wrap it on top of the white rice, and steam it.

"Forrest Gump, did your master teach you how to cook? The food you made is delicious, and the food made by my grandmother is delicious, but my grandmother is gone. ”

That's right, why did I forget this, and I didn't think to inquire about it until now, how did Ago's mother not have it.

"Ah Go, why isn't Ah Mu here?"

"I don't know, I was still young at that time, just able to run, my mother went to work in the mountains, my father went hunting, they didn't come back when it got dark, it rained so hard outside, I was so hungry, and I was afraid to be alone at home, but fortunately, my grandfather came to my house.

The grandfather said that Grandma was taken away by the god of water, and Daddy came back the next day, I asked Daddy, Daddy murdered me, and then I didn't dare to ask again. ”

The little girl cried, maybe she has grown up now, or maybe she was wronged over the years, and she cried very sadly.

Luo Yi hurriedly hugged the sad girl who was crying, and comforted: "Cry!" Cry out loud, just cry out, and my brother will be with you in the future. ”

"Woo woo woo...... Brother... Woo..."

After the little girl stopped whimpering, Luo Yi wiped away her tears, then put her on the bamboo chair, took out his most gentle voice and said: "Look, you're crying like a little flower cat, go wash your face, we're going to eat." ”

"Whew! Dead Forrest Gump," Ah Guo said, running to wash his face.

"Ahem!"

Luo Yi looked back, damn it, this cheap daddy, when will he come back, won't he be there from beginning to end!

Luo Yi hurriedly said: "Daddy, you're coming, it's a coincidence, we just had to eat." ”

Luo Xiong didn't expect this kid to ask like this, and then said, "Just came back, where is Ah Guo?" ”

"Ago! Her face is not clean, I told her to wash her face, Daddy, you should also wash it, and wash your hands before eating. ”

"Your face is not clean, Daddy, you're back!"

was said by the little girl, Luo Yi did not feel the slightest discomfort, and said with a smile: "Just wash it up, let's eat!" ”

Looking at the two people who were laughing, Luo Xiong also smiled and went to wash his hands, and now he is also used to the arrangement of eating and washing his hands as Luo Yi said.

Luo Xiong now also knows how smart he is to save the child casually, he obviously knows that he heard it, but the words of the two brothers and sisters are just acting as if it didn't happen, even Ah Guo is the same.

"Alas! The kids grew up."

Luo Yi, Ah Guo doesn't know Daddy's feelings, the stewed wild boar ribs with yam in the crockpot are ready, the steaming lid is opened, the water vapor spreads, the rice is cooked, and the fish must be good, but it is too hot Luo Yi doesn't dare to take it.

"I'll do it! Look at what delicious food my son makes, my son cooks the best in the world. ”

In the face of cheap daddy, this kind of boundless praise, Luo Yi can only smirk, the first in the world, how big the world is, it is estimated that this cheap daddy has never walked out of the Vimo Department.

The food here is absolutely natural and pollution-free, plus Luo Yi is a big foodie, so the taste is still quite delicious, relieve the heart of Ah Guo, eat the fish very clean, Luo Yi and his son also ate a large pot of game.

Luo Yi knew that Ah Guo was not as happy as she seemed, this child was too precocious, at least whether her mother was taken away by the water god, she must have doubts.

Luo Yi knew that he had just cried, which was very good for the little girl, so that he could release a lot of negative emotions of the little girl, help the little girl wash the dishes, let her take a bath and sleep, and promised to take her to play tomorrow.

There are not many things that can be illuminated at night in the Vimo Department, and people with conditions will use fish oil, vegetable oil, or buy fierce fire oil from Xishu merchants, but fierce fire oil belongs to military materials in the Great Song Dynasty or Dali Kingdom, and there are very few people who dare to smuggle them.

The lighting light of Songmingzi is still good, and it is cheap, there are many pine trees in the mountains, the disadvantage is that the smoke and dust are too large, and it is originally a small firewood pile, but the bamboo building of Aguo's family has long been smoked black by the cooking smoke during cooking, and I don't care.

Take a sip, Luo Yi made Sanqi flower tea, Luo Xiong said with a smile: "It's not bad, but my father doesn't drink much tea, this kind of blue and white grass is generally used to stop bleeding in the village, if you like tea, I'll let someone send some." ”

"Alas!"

You know, these people must not know the value of Panax notoginseng, stop bleeding, is that just the most basic good? Luo Yi was helpless, no wonder, he was just walking around the village, and he could see Sanqi in the grove, it turned out that Sanqi was just a weed that could stop bleeding here.

Luo Yi didn't want to tell Daddy that Panax notoginseng is a good thing, which can cure hemoptysis, vomiting blood, hemorrhage, blood in the stool, leakage, traumatic bleeding, chest and abdomen stabbing pain, swelling and pain, etc.

Daddy knows, he may not care, if others know, it's not good, and he still expects Sanqi to make a fortune.

Luo Yi said with a smile: "Daddy, my master said, this is not a weed, it is called notoginseng, notoginseng flower tea, it is better than tea, and it has the effect of calming the nerves and nourishing the brain, you usually drink more." ”

"Alright! I heard that you are going to open an altar and give a lecture? ”

"You know, I can't be idle, kid, it's good to have a few more people to play with Ago."

"My father knows that you are intelligent, very thoughtful, and sensible, so do what you want! Is there anyone who needs help for the Father? ”

Luo Yi was embarrassed and said, "Yes"

There's no way, teaching people to read is not a simple matter, you want books, you want tables and chairs on the factory floor, and those children want to eat when they come! Alubai Village is okay, but in the future, the outside will require paper for book making, and papermaking will not be difficult for you, but you can't do it with your own small body.

Luo Yi was also a little embarrassed to mention so many conditions at once, hoping that the old father, a big landowner, could promise himself these unreliable conditions in his old man's opinion!

"Don't ramble, it's not your style, just say what you need."

Luo Yi had to say his thoughts again, papermaking needs someone to help, build a small grass hut, build some tables and chairs, and ten loads of food, and ......

"It is understandable that you want to make paper, build a grass hut, and make tables and chairs for your father, what do you want food for? I also need a few people to specialize in making paper in the future, and sell the ones that are not used up. ”

"Daddy, the child is thinking, in the future, if the children from other villages in our eighteen villages come to school, the road is too far, then live here, the food is the capital that the child borrowed from you, and when the paper made by the child is sold, I will pay you back."

Luo Xiong was also laughed at by this son, whether this kid wants to lecture or sell paper, Luo Xiong smiled and said: "Okay! Is there anything else that the Father promised you? ”

"And ......"

Luo Xiong wanted to smoke himself, don't ask, it's over, why does this kid have so many requests today.

Luo Xiong said helplessly: "You want to open the altar, give lectures, and what do you want to do with a literate gentleman, don't tell your father that you are illiterate." ”

"Daddy, of course I know the words, but my master taught me too many things, and the master thinks that my qualifications are average, and he is afraid that I will not learn well, so the words taught to me are simplified.

If I teach them with this simplified character, they will go out in the future and no one else will know the words they write! Therefore, it is necessary to have a person who knows the words that are commonly used to teach. ”

Luo Yi had a headache, and Luo Xiong couldn't smile bitterly.

Luo Xiong smiled and said, "Then what do you teach them?" ”

is despised by others, or is he cheap Daddy, the key Daddy is not true, if you don't prove that you are still me, you will only brag.

"In our Alubai Village, there are seventy-eight households and six hundred and seventy-eight people, and since you brought me back, there are six hundred and seventy-nine people, and on average, there are about eight people in each household, and several of them will be nine.

If one person eats half a catty of rice a day, we in Alubai Village will eat at least 339 catties of five taels of rice a day. ”

Luo Xiong was stunned, he knew that the village would eat a lot of rice in a day, but he didn't expect that this kind of thing could be calculated so accurately, although he didn't know what it was for, but his intuition told him that it was useful.

Luo Xiong was curious: "How did you do it." ”

This kind of first-grade math problem, Luo Yi didn't feel blushing, and thought to himself, look, he still despises me, it's just a first-grade problem.

"This is called mathematics, also called arithmetic, learn arithmetic, you can calculate a lot of things, such as how much food can be grown in a year by the Vimo Ministry, and how far the Vimo Ministry can go to Dali, the reason why the merchants of the Song Kingdom are so good at doing business is because of arithmetic."

"Alas! I said, why every time I trade with Shuzhong businessmen, it is obviously a fair deal, but I always feel that I have suffered a loss when I go home. ”

I don't think about it, the old man still has such an experience, Luo Yi said with a smile: "I have this knowledge, it's no problem to teach them, right?" ”

"It's not a problem to teach them, but why should you give something so good to someone else?"

Here it is again, I despised myself just now, and now I feel that my own good things should not be given to others, Luo Yi said helplessly: "Daddy, don't worry!" I will leave some pressure on the bottom of the box and teach them a little, because I hope to use them to help me better......"

It was not easy to appease the old man Gu Jia's thoughts, and said that Mr. Literate above, it turns out that there are still a few literate people in the eighteen villages, as for whether people are willing or not, you have to ask to know.

It's late at night, and I chatted for so long unconsciously, but the harvest is good, and now Mr. Literacy is still waiting to be greeted, so I know that the rest of the day can be mentioned tomorrow, and I said to Daddy, go to bed early, Luo Yi went back to his room and fell asleep.
