This morning, Jia Yi used a food box to hold breakfast for himself and Yao Lao, and went to the medicine hometown to study. It's been almost a week since Jiayi's apprenticeship was successful, and Jiayi brought breakfast from home every day to eat with Yao Lao, and Jia Yi also brought him from home to eat dinner. Originally, Jia Yi said that Yao Lao and Jia Yi were two people on Yao Lao's side, and it was more troublesome to start a gang by themselves, so it was better to go to Jia's family to eat together, and it would be lively. But Yao Lao didn't want to go to other people's houses to eat, and wanted to make it himself at home. But after eating the food that Jia Yi brought over, he changed his mind, although he still didn't want to go to Jia's family to eat, but agreed that Jia Yi would bring the food with a food box and eat with Yao Lao.

After breakfast, it was time to start pharmacology study again, and at this time, Jia Yi asked Yao Lao: "Teacher, do you know how to read?"

"Of course, I used to learn when I was an apprentice in the provincial town. Yao Lao replied.

"Then, teacher, can you teach me to read? Learn to read, and I can read some books by myself in the future." Jia Yi requested, in fact, Jia Yi wanted to ask this a long time ago, Jia Yi saw several books in Yao Lao's room, and felt that Yao Lao should be literate. And literacy is an important part of life, don't get a peerless cheat book in the future, but find that you can't understand a word, is there anything more tragic than this? Not everyone can be with You Tanzhi and the "dog mongrel" Shi Potian, especially if there are no pictures? (ps: You Tanzhi is a rich young master, is literate, but the Yijin Sutra obtained is Sanskrit, I can't understand it, only practice the picture, Shi Potian is really not literate, and only practice the picture).

Yao Lao thought about it and felt that it was still necessary to recognize words, especially the names of medicinal materials, so he said to Jiayi: "Yes, in the future, we will recognize words in the morning and learn pharmacology in the afternoon." You go and move a small table out of the house, and I'll start teaching you how to read now. As soon as he said it, Yao Lao asked Jia Yi to move the table, and he himself brought a book from the room, as well as a few pieces of papyrus.

"Jiayi, this is a pharmacological theory, called "Pharmacological Fundamentals", about 8,000 words, I don't know how many words are not repeated, let's learn this one first, there is no paper at home, next time I go to the town I will buy some. Yao Lao said, put the book on the table, and handed the paper and quill to Jia Yi.

When Jia Yi saw it, he took the quill and paper, put the paper away, and said, "Teacher, paper is too expensive, let's not use paper." We don't need paper to write on the sand, only important things are written on paper, which saves a lot of money, and even ink and pens. ”

Yao Lao thought for a moment and said, "You are very right, but you must know that writing on the sand with a wooden stick is not the same as writing on paper with a quill, and the words written in the future may be ugly." ”

"Teacher, it's okay, I don't want to be a calligrapher, just don't be illiterate. "Jia Yi feels that it doesn't matter if the handwriting is beautiful or not.

"Illiterate, well said, image. We won't learn it now, let's make a sand table for you first, and learn to write. "Yao Lao heard the word illiterate for the first time, and he thought it was very good. began to prepare the sand table for Jiayi to practice calligraphy.

Yao Lao first found a few wooden boards, made a few holes in the edges of the wooden boards, drove them into them with wooden wedges, and then put them together. All around, a few wooden sticks were nailed to the sides as a frame, so that a rough small frame came out, which looked about 70x40cm in size and 7 or 8cm in height. The frame is a little crooked and not right. There are many more carpenter tools in Yao's hometown than Jia's family, and Jiayi's father Gary also worked as a carpenter apprentice.

Yao Lao looked at it, felt that it was acceptable, and said to Jiayi: "Bring this sand table, let's go to the river to decorate some sand." ”

Soon, Yao Lao and Jia Yi came back with sand, and when they came back, the sand table was held by Yao Lao, after all, the sand table with sand was still a bit burdensome for a 4-year-old boy.

After returning to Yao Lao's yard, Yao Lao officially taught Jiayi to read and write. The words in this world feel like Latin, but I don't know any of them. Characters are actually very related to pronunciation, so for a person who understands the language of this world, the characters of this other world are much simpler than Chinese, because as long as you know the phonetic transcription of each letter, you can easily spell out the pronunciation of each word, just like Hanyu Pinyin. Therefore, Jiayi's first lesson actually did not formally learn to write, but learned the pronunciation of Monfilbo, the capital of the empire, which can be regarded as an otherworldly version of Mandarin.

Jia Yi took the opportunity to ask Yao Lao a lot about the pattern of this world, or the pattern of this country. About 20 kilometers north of the village of Domi converted into modern weights and measures is the town of Sainz, where Gary's game is usually sold. About 300 kilometers northwest of the town, you will arrive at the city of Wickham, which is the provincial capital of the province of Wickham, and the entire province of Vicel is the territory of the Duke of Whita.

The province of Verfer belonged to the Silver Sword Empire, in the southwestern part of the empire. The provincial city of Wickham is located on the banks of the Bell River, and it is said that it takes about two months to reach the imperial capital of Memphelbo, the upper reaches, by boat from the Bell River. In the entire Silver Sword Empire, the province of Verfer is considered to be a relatively wealthy province. Yao Lao has been as far away as the provincial capital of Wickham, and has not been out of the province of Vicfer.

These were all calculated by Jia Yi from Yao Lao's words. In fact, Yao Lao can't confirm exactly how far away these places are.

......

In the evening, after dinner, Jia Yi returned home and said happily to Donna, "Nana!

"Call sister!" Before Jia Yi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Donna, emphasizing that she was Jia Yi's sister.

"Na..." Jia Yi wanted to continue to call Nana, but he was defeated in Donna's gaze, so he had to change his words: "Sister, I learned to write today, and I can already write my own name!"

Donna listened, was silent for a while, and said, "If you can write, you can write, what's the big deal!"

Although Donna said this, Kaichi could see Donna's envy, and he said to Donna, "Nana... Sister, I'll go and tell the teacher tomorrow that you can also learn to write together, anyway, one sheep is driving, and two sheep are also driving. ”

When Donna heard this, her eyes lit up, but her mouth said: "What sheep is not sheep, if you want to say it, just say it." With that, he turned around and went to sleep.

Jia Yi looked out the window and felt that everything was slowly getting better, and after learning words, he lacked peerless cheats.

The next day, before learning to read and write, Jia Yi told Yao Lao about his request to let Donna come over to study together, but Yao Lao did not agree. He told Jia Yi that he didn't like too many people to disturb him, and that if he wanted Donna to read and write, he could teach him himself.

Because of Jiayi's almost unforgettable reasons, Yao Lao felt that Jiayi's progress was very fast, so he asked Jiayi to stop studying here after dinner, and he could go home by himself, teach Donna by himself, and consolidate the new words he learned every day by the way, or play by himself. And you don't have to eat dinner together, you can go home and eat with your family after delivery.

In this way, Jiayi got up early every morning, first went to Yao Lao to learn pharmacological knowledge, and helped Yao Lao sort out the medicinal materials. Then go home for breakfast, after breakfast, began to learn to read and write, after noon, and then learn pharmacological knowledge, memorize the efficacy, compatibility, and appearance of each medicinal material. You will also learn how to collect and process some simple medicinal materials. In the evening, Jia Yi went home to cook, sent the medicine to the old man, went home to eat with the family, and then taught Donna to read.

The days passed like this busy and fulfilling.
