Chapter 92: Follow Me

Because Yao Ran's voice didn't change much, the absent-minded Xiaoping didn't notice that his teacher no longer continued to explain the content of papermaking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info pouted with a cold face, his anger had gradually heated up.

"Xiaoping, don't you like the job that the teacher assigned you?" Yao Ran asked again, but still didn't get Xiaoping's answer, Yao Ran didn't speak at first, and the sudden lack of silence made Xiaoping turn around.

Xiaoping looked at the teacher's serious face and knew his small movements, and Xiao Slip was discovered by his teacher. He lowered his head embarrassedly, not daring to look at Yao Ran's eyes. The silence around did not affect Yao Huo's research, although Yao Huo did not recognize many words on the design drawing. But the number Yao Huo can still recognize it all. And Yao Ran said that it is impossible to build a huge and stable crane at one time, and it is more dangerous to build a crane of dozens of meters at the beginning, so Yao Ran asked Yao Huo to make a few cranes several meters high to accumulate considerable experience, and then prepare to make large high-rise cranes.

Xiaoping's behavior did make Yao Ran a little dissatisfied. But after Yao Ran's nagging just now, he found that after he mastered all the links of papermaking, whether it was production or preliminary preparation, he didn't need to use too much brain, as long as he strictly controlled it.

In addition, Xiaoping is now his own hero, a great hero. The discovery of such a thing as iron ore is actually of great help to Yao Ran. And it's so close. But at the same time, it also brought great trouble to Yao Ran, and there are not enough manpower now. If you haven't become an emperor yet, are you going to start conquering and expropriating? The answer can be imagined, Yao Ran has no ambition to be an emperor. Now I can live in a big house that is stable. Making life more convenient and making himself safer is what Yao Ran wants now, but the stone and wooden spears make Yao Ran have no sense of security. Like the giant dragon last time, there are still a few fights with those prehistoric giant beasts.

All of them made Yao Ran feel unprecedented, living in layers of crisis. It's different with sharp weapons, and the limit of physical kinetic energy is, of course, throwing weapons such as catapults and Kongming cars. Close defense, spear and giant lance, against those giant beasts, naturally do not want to be in such danger as now.

Therefore, the faster the development of iron tools is also what Yao Ran urgently needs now. In fact, when Yao Ran paid attention to safety, he forgot that the ability of iron tools to transform the natural world for human beings, with iron tools came into being, there would naturally be iron axes to replace stone axes. Saws for logging, chisels made of iron. An iron pot and spatula for cooking. A sledgehammer for crushing stone. There will also be iron ploughs that will be needed for farming in the future. Shovels for digging soil. When the technology matures, cast iron pipes can also be made to transport tap water to households.

Thinking about these things, Yao Ran forgot about Xiaoping's slip just now. But now is indeed the stage of the integration of the two groups, which is not suitable for large-scale mining of iron ore and large-scale blast furnace construction. Yao Ran thought about it for a long time and decided to give up the large blast furnace and make a small blast furnace, which did not use many materials. Of course, iron production naturally decreased. The small blast furnace will naturally lead to a decrease in the furnace temperature, so the carbon content of the pig iron will be higher, that is, it will be more brittle. It's even more impossible to make steel, but it's still okay to make some simple iron saws and iron axes.

If you start with small things, in fact, the most demanded thing is actually a small thing, that is, iron nails. Nowadays, whatever is fixed is to use iron nails, or make some iron hoops made of iron sheets, or iron needles and other things.

Yao Ran was stunned for a while, which made Xiaoping uneasy. For it is often the unknown punishment and the silent judgment that are truly frightening, just as people are born to fear the darkness. Xiaoping has changed from sitting on a wooden pier to squatting on the ground. I'm struggling with whether I need to kneel down or not.

Just when Xiaoping was entangled, Yao Ran finally walked out of his own world. Seeing Xiaoping half-kneeling on the ground, he raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What's wrong Xiaoping?" Looking for something? ”

Xiaoping heard it really this time, but his mind was full of Yao Ran's cold face when he was angry just now, and his other leg knelt on the ground:

"Teacher, I was wrong, I went to make paper, I thought about it, paper has a great effect on our inheritance of knowledge, and it is very important for us to manage the clan." Xiaoping shook his head and immediately corrected himself and said, "It's very important. Xiaoping thought for a moment and continued, "Even if it's not important, but the teacher arranged that I should do it, and I shouldn't be distracted." ”

Yao Ran was stunned and looked at Xiao Ping, who was muttering and repenting in front of him, with a smile on his face, how could this kid be enlightened. Yao Ran pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows on one side, thinking about why Xiaoping suddenly had such a big change.

Alas, it really responded to Taizu's words, fighting with the sky is endless, fighting with people is endless, and the little overlord is also having endless fun. In fact, it is not difficult to guess the cleverness of the current primitive people, because of the change of Xiaoping's identity, he has become the highest status of the entire Yao clan, respected and admired, but the fool will be fluttering and don't know how to express himself, but smart people are different, of course Xiaoping is a smart person, and all his glory comes from Yao Ran and his own intelligence. If Yao Ran abandoned himself, he would have to cut down trees, move stones, or do other work every day like his brother, which was far less comfortable than now.

So it turned out that the stubborn boy who was sitting on the Kodo block gave in and gave in willingly. Because you can learn a lot of novel knowledge with Yao Ran, even if you listen to some papermaking by yourself. It's something I've never been exposed to before. It looks like drying salt, pouring out the soup and putting it on a smooth stone, drying the water, and naturally getting salt. In Yao Ran's words, 'It's the salts that get into the water and we can't see with our eyes, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.' Drying paper is actually similar to drying salt, that is, the wood is broken and smashed, boiled in water to make a paste, and then dried to become paper.

Directing others to dry paper is better than letting yourself move stones, better than carrying a stone axe to cut down trees, and I am the teacher's apprentice, I will never dry paper for a lifetime, and the teacher will definitely think of himself when he needs help. This time I really cocked my tail a little. His own pride comes completely from the man sitting in front of him, and in front of him, where is his pride to speak of.

So those words begging for mercy and admitting their mistakes came from the heart of Jinping, a teenager. also showed in front of Yao Ran that the consciousness that a smart person should have, and being tactful is definitely not the patent of a treacherous villain. Acknowledging mistakes and knowing that mistakes can be corrected is the real smart approach.

Yao Ran looked at the child in front of him, Yao Ran was nearly thirty years old, and the person kneeling on the ground in front of him was not like a child. Yao Ran sighed lightly and pulled Xiaoping up, and at this moment, the wound on his back began to hurt again. "Eh! ~ It hurts! ”

"Teacher, are you alright?" Xiao Ping quickly stood up and held Yao Ran's outstretched hand, and at this time, Xiao Ya and Xiao Rui, who walked in the meeting hall, also walked in. He had a basket in his hand, and a few leather bags.

Yao Ran saw his wives coming back, endured the pain, and said with a smile: "The wives are back." How's that business? Before Xiaoya and Xiaorui could answer. Yao Ran turned his head again and said to Xiaoping: "Since you don't like papermaking, you can help me make a blast furnace, the work of ironmaking is very hard, so I will leave it to you in the future." You boy! ~”

"Wife, are you tired after a busy day, ah! Are these skewers left for me? Yao Ran looked at the meat skewers in Xiao Rui's hand, and his eyes suddenly glowed green like hungry wolves.

Xiao Rui muttered to the meat skewers in her hand tightly: "Man, husband, do you really want to eat?" ”

Yao Ran was stunned for a moment, why wasn't it for me?

Before Yao Ran could speak, Xiao Rui continued: "These are left by Sister Xiaoya, Sister Xiaoyu and Sister Jiali. ”

Yao Ran raised his head and looked at Xiao Ya, turned his face sideways, smiled and said:

"Oh~~~, it's used to promote sisterhood! Then I won't rob it. ”

Yao Ran smiled sheepishly, rubbed his hands and hugged Xiaorui into his arms like a lewd uncle or a tram idiot, and touched one hand behind his back, making Xiaorui giggle itchyly.

And Xiaorui and Yao Ran were so happy that they put their hands on Yao Ran's shoulders unscrupulously, making Yao Ran gasp and snort in pain. Xiao Rui apologized vigorously on the side, Xiao Ya stepped forward and counted Xiao Rui a few words, Xiao Rui's aggrieved look made Yao Ran feel distressed.

When Xiaoya was about to go home with Xiaorui, she was still stopped by Yao Ran and said, "Let's leave 5 skewers for us with that, meat skewers." Yao Ran gritted his teeth and looked at Xiaoya.

And Xiaoya didn't hesitate, took the meat skewers in Xiaorui's hand and counted six skewers, walked over and put them in Yao Ran's hand, Yao Ran also took the opportunity to kiss Xiaoya with a fragrant one. But Xiaoya didn't move. just looked back coquettishly and glanced at Yao Ran with disgust.

I saw Yao Ran horny, oh, how many big things have been delayed by this beating. After this little episode, Xiao Ping was still in place, thinking about what Yao Ran had just said to himself.

Could it be that I contradicted the teacher and did not follow the teacher's request, and the teacher was not angry? No, the teacher's face just now was definitely angry. But why did the teacher ask me to make the extended version of the stove with him?

Xiao Ping was puzzled, and didn't get Yao Ran's answer, Yao Ran handed Xiao Ping a string of meat skewers in his hand, and said, "Eat something, I've been busy all day." Yao Ran handed Xiao Ping two skewers of meat. I handed the meat skewer in my hand directly to my mouth. While chewing the meat, he said with a pout, "Share a string with your senior brother, don't eat it all." ”

Without hesitation, Xiaoping handed the meat skewers to Yao Huo, who was studying the animal skin drawings, "Senior brother, Master let you eat meat skewers." ”

Yao Huo didn't raise his head and didn't open his eyes, but he ate the meat skewers, and he was still looking at the animal skin in his hand. Then he walked to Yao Ran's side and pointed to the position of the pulley on the map. "Teacher, this pulley set is designed like this, how to deal with the joints of the rope." Yao Ran glanced at a chestnut and knocked it, Yao Huo hit his head, and yelled, "Your sister on the street, after watching it for a long time, isn't this rope head here?" Tomorrow I will take someone to make two pulleys The base of the size must be strong and then, pull down the dredging bank there, I don't know when I will learn it for you. Yao Ran looked down at the drawings carefully, it turned out that when he drew the drawings, the drawings there were a little connected, and Yao Ran cracked his mouth.

"Leave a homework today, refer to the production method of the stretcher tomorrow, use bamboo mat net rope, bamboo pole to make a frame that can carry me out. The approximate shape looks like this. Yao Ran drew the picture on the ground, and a thing that seemed to slide a rod was presented on the ground in a crooked way. Yao Ran didn't explain, and continued pretending to be profound: "It's done, bring two barbarian slaves over tomorrow morning." If you can't do it, do it slowly. Okay, let's go home and eat, I'm tired today. ”

Said that he turned around and walked towards the back door of the family house.
