Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 38 Recognition

Zhao Hai didn't want to know what happened outside the thatched cottage. He believed that Merlin and the others would handle it well. Zhao Hai was really tired now and he just wanted to have a good sleep.

He took out a quilt from the warehouse and spread it on the bed. Zhao Hai immediately lay down on the bed. He fell asleep within a few minutes. He was really too tired. Because of drinking the water of nothingness, his body could only He wouldn't be able to bear it if he exercised too much, let alone in such a stressful situation today.

The slaves outside the thatched house also rested. It was a rare opportunity to rest, so they naturally didn't say anything. In addition, the floor was covered with soft quilts, which were much better than hay. After a while, the entire space fell into silence. , even the stones and wood standing in front of the door to guard Zhao Hai sat on the ground and took a nap.

More than two hours later, Merlin and the others woke up. Merlin quietly walked to the thatched house, opened the door and took a look at Zhao Hai, and found that Zhao Hai was sleeping soundly. She quietly closed the door again, took a look at the slaves, and found that Some of them were already awake and sitting there not knowing what to do.

Although Merlin could teach them to read, she didn't teach them now. If she taught these people to read, she would have to make a sound. She didn't want to wake Zhao Hai.

However, Merlin still noticed that the radishes she planted before going to bed had already sprouted. This surprised Merlin. This was the first time she had seen how plants grow in space. The speed was too fast. .

Merlin couldn't help but squat on the edge of the field and look at the radish seedlings that had just grown. These seedlings were growing very strong, and the land was in very good condition. It was obvious at a glance that they were very healthy.

Meg also made the same move as Merlin. Meg squatted next to Merlin and whispered to Merlin: "Grandma, how come this magic radish sprouted so quickly? I heard people say that magic vegetables are very difficult to grow. Yeah, why is it so easy here?"

Merlin smiled slightly and said, "The young master has told me a long time ago that if you plant crops in this space, the time it takes for them to mature will be greatly shortened, but I didn't expect it to be so short."

"The magic radish you are talking about is called radish in my space. It is the lowest crop in the space and matures every eight hours." Zhao Hai's voice came slowly.

Merlin and Meg were startled, then turned around and saw that Zhao Hai had come out and was standing behind them. Merlin stood up quickly and said: "Master, are you telling the truth? This magic radish is really eight Can you mature in just one hour?"

Zhao Hai nodded, pointed to the corn that had grown ears on the side and said: "Did you see those corns? The price of corn in space is higher than that of radish. It takes fourteen hours from planting to maturity. time."

Merlin and the others couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhao Hai's finger. The corn was still in the growth stage. The leaves were green and black, and they looked so vigorous.

Zhao Hai turned to Merlin and said: "There is enough food in the space now. It is best for us to stay in the space for a while before going out, so as not to encounter those monsters after we go out."

Merlin nodded and said, "Yes, the young master is right. There is no need to worry about food in this space now, and it won't rain. You can just make bunks outside. It doesn't matter if you stay here for a few days."

Zhao Hai nodded, turned around and took a look. The slaves who had woken up all stood up and looked at his slaves respectfully. He sighed and said: "Grandma Meilin, teach them how to read in a while. Me and Mu Mu Let’s build a few camp stoves and use them for cooking later.”

It is not easy to make food for more than 100 people. Although Zhao Hai has received all the materials in the warehouse into the space, if he wants to feed these people, he has to build a big pot. There is nothing in the space, so we can only build a simple marching stove.

Merlin looked at the slaves and said, "Master, let them do it. Anyway, there is not much time left. You just need to take out the things. Then I can let you do anything."

Zhao Hai glanced at the slaves and had no choice but to nod. If he asked the slaves to learn writing there now and he built a marching stove here, he was afraid that the slaves would be frightened and would not be able to learn a single word. .

When Merlin saw Zhao Hai nodding, he immediately organized people to start digging. Fortunately, Zhao Hai had loaded all the materials in the castle warehouse into the space warehouse. Now they had no shortage of tools.

For more than a hundred people to eat, in fact, there is no need to dig too many military stoves, only about ten are enough, and the pots they use are all military pots with a bracket at the bottom. This kind of pot was also specially designed by Green and others. They knew they were coming here, so they prepared a lot of iron pots like this. First, they could use them on their way here, and second, they were for the slaves to use.

In fact, many slave owners use such marching stoves, because this kind of marching stove is the simplest. No matter where the slaves go to work, they only need to find two people to carry the pot, and they can cook directly at the place where they work. rice, this saves a lot of time.

Ten marching stoves were quickly set up, but they can't be used now. Zhao Hai has to wait until the corn matures before there will be burning materials in the space. Otherwise, they can only burn the wood they bought. Those wood But such a good thing, it would be a pity if it burned.

Now Zhao Hai and the others are short of everything, and they don’t know when Green will come back. After he comes back, they can go out and sell the radishes in their hands and exchange them for gold coins, and then they can buy wood and other things. The wood in their hands now , but what they only had, Zhao Hai didn't want to waste it.

Zhao Hai looked at the set up marching stove, nodded, then looked at the slaves again, then turned to Mei Lin and said: "Grandma Mei Lin, the corns will not mature for more than two hours now. During this period, Just teach everyone how to read some words, and I’ll go to the house to take a rest.”

Merlin nodded, and Zhao Hai walked into the house. Merlin watched Zhao Hai enter the house, and then said to the slaves: "Don't worry, everyone, the corn will be mature in about two hours, and then it will be ready." It's time to eat. During these two hours, everyone has to learn to read with me..."

Before she finished speaking, the slaves started buzzing. It is common knowledge on the mainland that slaves cannot read. Without the slave master, they would teach slaves to read, so for slaves, literacy is It was a very sacred thing, and now all the slaves were very surprised when they heard that Merlin was going to teach them how to read.

Merlin said in a deep voice: "Quiet."

The slaves immediately calmed down and looked at Merlin with excitement. Merlin continued: "Our Buda family is different from other nobles. The young master is a kind man. I have just obtained the young master's consent. , if anyone learns well and knows more words in the process of learning, the young master can exempt him from the status of slave, do you understand?"

Now the slaves were even more excited. It would be great if Zhao Hai could teach them how to read. Now he actually said that as long as they learn well, they can become civilians. For those slaves, this would be a disaster. , and then people tell you that as long as you eat more, I will give you the same bonus. Go there to find such good things.

Merlin looked at their expressions and continued: "Because of the current conditions, I can only teach you some simple characters. In these two hours, I will only teach you ten characters, but I require you to be sure You need to be able to read and write." After saying that, he picked up a few pieces of white paper, took out a writing brush, wrote a word on each piece of white paper, and taught these people how to pronounce the word and how to write it.

Now they don't have a blackboard, so they can only teach these people by writing on white paper. Because there are too many people, there is only one word written on each piece of white paper. This way, the words are big enough, even for people sitting in the back. It can also be seen.

Meg has been following Merlin, watching these people study seriously, including Ju and An. Although Ju and An were civilians and could go to school before, their families did not have money to pay for teaching, so they never went to school. Now that they had such an opportunity, how could they let it go.

Meg has also been to imperial schools before, but she went to aristocratic schools. She found that these slaves were completely different from the students in the school. The aristocratic students in the school regarded going to school as a kind of torture. When class was over, everyone was so happy that they wished they could play at home every day. Adam was like this before.

But these slaves were completely different. When these slaves were reading, they looked very excited and focused. They were afraid that they would not be able to remember. Because they had nothing to write with, they used their fingers on the ground. Meg was deeply moved by the serious energy she rowed.

Wood and Stone also looked at these people. Although they were not very smart before, they knew how to read because they were adopted by the Buda family. However, when they learned to read, they were not as serious as these slaves. One is because they are young, the other is because they are not smart enough and have to learn a word several times before they can remember it, and the third is because it is too easy to get.

Those who get it too easily often don’t know how to cherish it. This is the case with them. They learned the word together with Adam. Adam himself is not a smart person. Although he is smarter than the two of them, Adam doesn’t like to learn the word very much. characters, so each character needs to be recognized several times before they can be learned. This is exactly the same as them, so that the two of them can learn all the characters without being forced. Now the two of them are enlightened and smart. When they look at those slaves Both of them couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Merlin naturally saw this, and she suddenly understood how correct Zhao Hai's decision was. These slaves did not know how to read and were uneducated. Even if they wanted to help the Buda family, they would not be able to help because of their limited ability. It’s not a big help, but as long as they know how to read, they will be more helpful to the Buda family in the future, and now the Buda family needs everyone in the family to use their greatest strength to help the family , so that the Buda family can be revitalized. So she taught very seriously.
