Chapter 516 Canteen
After assigning the squad leader, the next step is to distribute books and clothing.
These things were all sorted out yesterday and placed in the classroom.
With the help of the two teachers at work, all the books were distributed, and at the same time, everyone was changed into new school uniforms and school badges with their own student numbers and names.
The school uniform and school badge are equivalent to a pass, they must be worn well, and Li San and Li Si at the door will let everyone in.
Chu Zhuang's group looked over from classroom to classroom, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.
After finishing these things in the morning, the teacher will lead everyone to the cafeteria for lunch in the afternoon, and then lead the students to visit the school in the afternoon. Today's registration is over.
By tomorrow morning, everyone will officially come to school to attend classes.
"If I had come to this school to attend classes when I was young, I would have been very happy." Yun Zhanfei sighed and said with some emotion.
It can be seen that these children are full of anticipation for the next scene in school.
Unlike their childhood, going to school is a kind of torture for them.
Because the people who teach them are old masters, they always have a straight face every day, very serious.
It doesn't look like these little teachers in the school, they are cute and humorous.
Yunmengxi nodded in sympathy.
When he was young, Taifu Xue taught him in the palace school. Taifu Xue was very strict, and would beat his hands with a ruler if he disagreed with him.
Now Yunmengxi panics when he thinks of his hands.
Chu Zhuang took them to finish watching, then went around the school again, and finally came to the office.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, this is my letter, and these other letters are from Xuanxuan and Guo Wen."
Chu Zhuang took out a few letters from the drawer and handed them to Yun Zhanfei and the others.
They are going to send people to Ming County soon, so I will hand over this letter to them while they are here today.
Yun Zhanfei put the letter close to his body.
"Paper has been developed."
Yunhong looked at Chu Zhuang and told him the news. At the same time, he took out a brocade box from his bosom, took out the papers inside, and spread it on the table.
The paper is smooth and tender, the sheets are uniform, the color is white, and it is as smooth as jade.
This paper is many times better than the best paper on the market, but who would have thought that its cost is much cheaper than the cheapest paper on the market?
Chu Zhuang picked it up and checked it, then picked up a pen and wrote a few words on it.
The writing is easy to dry, the handwriting is clear and transparent, and the ink does not fade. It is an excellent calligraphy paper.
"Good paper!"
Chu Zhuang nodded in satisfaction, there was no difference compared with the jade button paper he used before.
"It was a little later, because the water is easy to freeze in winter, and the bamboo is not easy to soak." Yunhong explained.
"The best place is in Funing Prefecture in the south, where bamboo is rich in resources, and there are good mountain spring water sources, both of which are the best formula for papermaking."
Chu Zhuang looked at Yunhong and said, "Especially in the south, the weather is hot and humid, like spring all year round, and the climate is more suitable for papermaking."
If paper is made there, not only will the speed of papermaking be increased, but the quality will also be improved to a higher level.
"It's too far away from us, and we can't go there yet."
Yunhong frowned, he didn't want to go to the south, but that was not within their control.
Once the past hastily passed, the secret recipe of papermaking is likely to be stolen by local forces.
Chu Zhuang nodded. There is no rush for this matter. Fortunately, the bamboo forest resources in Anbei Prefecture are quite rich, which can meet their needs at present. As for the others, we can only talk about it later.
"How much paper has been produced now?" Chu Zhuang looked at Yunhong and asked.
"At present, the experiment has just been successful, and the quantity is not large, but this year the association will arrange people to increase investment. Judging from the output of this bamboo paper, the output should not be small." Yunhong replied.
"Let's not say anything about this, and hoard the paper first, and wait until the amount of paper is enough to hit all the paper on the market, then we will start planning." Chu Zhuang nodded slightly.
They developed paper, the main purpose of which is to deal with the Sima family, the Sima family's paper industry.
It has just been developed now. Although the quality of the paper is superior, the quantity is not enough, and it still cannot shake the position of the four papermakers.
When a sufficient amount of paper is hoarded, they will have the ability to hit the entire market.
Let me ask, who would not buy cheap and good paper?
He wanted the Sima family to no longer be able to earn a penny from selling paper!
"It's natural." A smile appeared on the corner of Yunhong's lips.
Now both the Sima family and the prince have mastered each other's fatal weakness.
Yunhong also has a little more confidence in that position.
At noon, Yunhong and the others proposed to eat in the cafeteria, and they also wanted to see the scene of everyone eating together in the cafeteria.
Each class has its own dining table, on which are steamed buns and four big pots of vegetables.
Vegetables are one meat, two vegetables and one soup.
The taste of the cauldron is a bit ordinary in Chu Zhuang's eyes, but Yunhong and Yun Zhanfei are very satisfied, let alone these children.
The cafeteria adopts a meal-sharing system, and two teachers are distributing food to everyone.
A group of children sat on the table in good order and started gobbling.
"Eat slowly, it's enough." Chu Shixi reminded worriedly.
It's just that this reminder didn't have any effect, and everyone was still eating very anxiously.
"Let them eat, it won't be like this after a few full meals."
Chu San smiled, and stopped Chu Shishi from persuading him.
The way they eat at the beginning is many times uglier than these children. After all, these children have parents and at least have something to eat every day, but they have been starving all year round.
So at the beginning when Chu Zhuang sent food, they all looked like ghosts reincarnated from starvation.
But Chu Zhuang didn't force them to eat slowly at the beginning, but reminded them gradually after they got used to it.
Up to now, they have also learned to chew slowly.
Chu Shishi froze for a moment, then suddenly nodded with a smile, and stopped talking again.
"Teacher, can I take this meat home for my parents to eat?"
There are children who want to leave good food to their parents.
"All meals must be eaten in the cafeteria and cannot be taken out of the cafeteria." Chu Shiyi shook his head and replied patiently.
The food in the cafeteria is for them to take care of their bodies, and at the same time, it also gives them energy to cope with their studies.
If you choose to take them all back, then the loss outweighs the gain.
And if you take them all, how much will you take?
This question is definitely not the first to open.
"All right!"
The child looked at the meat in the bowl reluctantly, and couldn't bear to eat it.
"Study hard, and buy it for your parents when you make money." Chu Shishi comforted.
As long as they can graduate from school, they will definitely be able to earn money to support themselves and their families in today's illiterate society.
"Yeah!" The child nodded fiercely, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.
The entire cafeteria was filled with the sound of eating, and almost no one could be heard talking.
Because everyone's mouth was stuffed to the brim, there was no room left to make a sound.
"Delicious! Mother Chu must have learned from Xiaolan!"
Yun Zhanfei ate a big bun with one hand, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Seeing everyone eating so deliciously, my appetite has improved a lot." Yun Hong said with a smile.
"En!" Yunmengxi nodded in response.
"Be careful of the wound." Chu Zhuang frowned, reminding Yunmengxi in a low voice.
Yunmengxi was a little careless, and sometimes he would inadvertently forget that he was still injured, so Chu Zhuang had to pay more attention.
Yunmengxi touched his shoulder and smiled a little embarrassedly.
The wound healed well, and if he didn't move it, there was almost no pain, so that he often forgot that he was still an injured person.
Yunhong and Yun Zhanfei looked at Chu Zhuang and Yunmengxi, and couldn't help but smile.
It's just that the smiles on the faces of the two of them couldn't help but fade a little when they thought of Yu Wenyu suddenly getting in between them.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, let's go to Zhuangzi, I have something for you."
After lunch, Chu Zhuang asked Yunmengxi to go back to his room to rest. He was going to go with Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong to the Zhuangzi taken back from Sima's house.
Yunmengxi knew what Chuzhuang was going to do, and he wanted to see it, so he begged, "Take me along."
Chu Zhuang wants to hand over the smoke bombs and stab-proof suits to the two of them.
Chu Zhuang needs to demonstrate the smoke bomb to Yun Zhanfei, not only to let them know how to use it, but also to let them know the effect of the smoke bomb.
This will make them easier to use.
But the effect of the smoke bomb is very obvious. If it is used in the school, it may cause a lot of commotion.
So it's better to go to the remote place on the Zhuangzi side.
To go to Zhuangzi, you need to take a horse-drawn carriage. Yunmengxi's injury is still not healed, and he can't stand such bumps, so he can't go along with him.
Although Yunmengxi knew this, he still couldn't help making the request a little willfully.
"Okay." After all, Chu Zhuang still couldn't bear to reject Yunmengxi, so he could only slow down the carriage.
Yunhong and Yun Zhanfei looked at Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi, and looked at each other, not understanding why Chuzhuang suddenly proposed to go to Zhuangzi.
But judging from their looks, things don't seem to be simple.
Several people left the city in a low-key manner in a carriage, and walked all the way to Zhuangzi.
When they came to the nearest manor and sent the people away, Chu Zhuang asked Huiming to help take the box from the carriage.
"Chu Zhuang, what are you bringing us here for?" Yun Zhanfei couldn't help asking curiously.
"Show something to the eldest brother and the second brother."
Chu Zhuang opened the box, revealing the true content inside.
"What are these?"
Looking at the things in the box, Yun Zhanfei asked in confusion.
