RPAGF Chapter 287 Paper
Chapter 287 Paper
Yang Ye was holding the little tiger cub and couldn't move around much. After coaxing him a few times, she wanted to put him back in the kindergarten.
The little tiger cub had only just seen his parents, how could he possibly want to go back?
He struggled, babbling and lying on his back with his belly spread out, trying to reach out to his parents for a rub.
Yang Ye was still unmoved, but Lin Baiyan was quite envious. This little tiger was too good at being affectionate. His soft, fluffy downy fur was all sticking up in a ball, making him look like a round little furball.
Lin Baiyan stared longingly in this direction. Yang Ye noticed this and immediately placed the little cub in his arms, saying, "Here you go, go play."
The implication is that it's okay to inhale!
Hearing his words, Lin Baiyan's eyes lit up. He flipped the little tiger over and held it upside down in his arms, rubbing his cheek against its soft belly fur.
As expected of a freshly manufactured product, the quality is excellent!
Lin Baiyan pinched the paw pads for a while, then kissed the forehead. Little Tiger Kong was so dizzy from all this rubbing that a sweet, coquettish voice came from his mouth, "Awoo~~"
Uncle's massage feels so good!
Lin Baiyan, having had his fill of admiring the cub, took a rattle drum from his animal skin bag and stuffed it into Xiao Hukong's arms, saying, "This is a gift from your uncle, take it and play with it!"
Little Tiger, having marked the rattle drum, struggled to get down from Lin Baiyan's arms and ran happily to Little Lynx's side, pushing the rattle drum towards him.
Little Lynx felt a warmth in his heart; his little brother was so thoughtful!
He picked up the little tiger cub and obediently said goodbye to Lin Baiyan, "High Priest brother, we'll go back to kindergarten now!"
Lin Baiyan was a little annoyed when he heard him call him that. Logically speaking, he and Yang Ye were of the same generation, so Xiao Hukong should call him uncle.
However, Xiao Chonghe is Hu Kong's older brother, and Chonghe calls himself older brother. This is going to cause a lot of trouble!
Lin Baiyan corrected them several times, telling them to call him "uncle" from now on, but the little ones shook their heads like little rattles and just wouldn't listen.
The little ones didn't care about any of that. The High Priest was so handsome, how could they call him uncle?
Someone like Minghu Yang should be called uncle!
Hu Yang, an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire: "..."
Okay, okay, it's just a title, it's not that important.
Lin Baiyan had no choice but to accept the title of High Priest Brother.
"Hu Liu, come here and help me take these cubs back." Lin Baiyan waved to the side.
Hu Liu nimbly came over and picked up the three cubs in one go. "High Priest, rest assured, I will definitely send them back safely."
Caught off guard, the cubs were suddenly picked up by the tall male orc, their field of vision suddenly becoming very high. Little Tiger Kong kicked his legs with a cheer, just like his father used to play with him at home.
Kiss, hug, lift high!
Tiger Stream noticed the cubs' excited expressions, gathered its strength slightly, and rushed forward at high speed, eliciting another round of cheers and jubilation from the cubs.
Lin Baiyan watched their retreating figures, then shook his head with a smile.
At this point, the pulp has been mostly poured out. Filter out all the slightly larger fibers, add a little water and stir to mix the water and pulp together.
The large stone trough was filled with water, and the filtered pulp was poured into the feeding trough and stirred with a tool like a rake to fully break up the pulp.
The water in the stone trough turned yellow, while the other stone trough, made of paper mulberry bark, turned slightly white, resembling the white paper that Lin Baiyan had used before.
Lin Baiyan, along with several sub-beastmen, gently swirled a paper-making frame in the water, scooped up some pulp, let it dry slightly, and then slowly lifted the paper-making screen from the stone slab to obtain a damp sheet of paper.
This was Lin Baiyan's first time making this, and he had a hard time getting the hang of it. The first few times, the paper either tore in one spot or was uneven in thickness.
Fortunately, as they became more skilled, their speed increased, and a streamlined process was formed in the central square.
Led by Lin Baiyan, several sub-beastmen took paper-making baskets, swung them around in the water, then scooped them up, peeled off the papers, and then started swung them again.
It took them an entire afternoon just to turn all the pulp in the stone trough into paper. Lin Baiyan looked at the three neatly stacked piles of paper on the stone slab, two of which were made of bamboo and one of which was made of paper mulberry bark.
This wasn't the end of it. The freshly copied paper was 95% water, so they had to press it down with a large stone to squeeze out all the water.
After a long day, Lin Baiyan clapped his hands as he looked at the papers neatly weighed down by the stones. "Everyone, let's go home now!"
After receiving the high priest's order, everyone left one by one, and Lin Baiyan went home and fell asleep immediately.
The next morning, when Lin Baiyan went to the central square again, he saw that a lot of water had accumulated in the large wooden basin under the paper. He reached out and touched the paper, estimating that the water had been squeezed out.
Lin Baiyan moved the large stone on top, moved a small stool to sit on the spot, and moved the papers one by one.
There were quite a few people in the central square, all there for breakfast. When they saw Lin Baiyan sitting in the square, surrounded by papers, everyone was extremely curious.
"I wonder what the High Priest is doing?"
"It must be some new and interesting gadget again!"
The orc who had just spoken glanced at his companion and said, "What are you talking about? When has the High Priest ever made anything that isn't something new and exciting?"
His companion chuckled and scratched his head, "You're right."
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and leave, don't disturb the High Priest's work!"
Not long after Lin Baiyan finished dividing the food, Lu Xiao came over with a bowl and said, "Stop making things, come and eat your food first!"
Lin Baiyan chuckled, "Coming right away!"
"Why didn't you call a few more people?" Lu Xiao touched the piece of paper that Lin Baiyan had just handed out; it was thin and soft, somewhat like animal skin.
Lin Baiyan took the bowl from Lu Xiao's hand. "It was just an experiment, and I didn't make much. I can finish it myself."
They soaked a lot of raw materials, but Lin Baiyan was afraid of wasting the first batch, so he used less. You know, making these papers takes a lot of time; just soaking the raw materials alone takes four or five months.
Today's meal is wild vegetable and meat soup, roasted potatoes, and a quarter of a salted egg.
"What a wonderful day it is today?" The dog spirit actually took out salted eggs for everyone to eat.
Even though their breeding techniques for the Rainbow Phoenix Chickens are now very advanced, and they can find more than a hundred Rainbow Phoenix eggs at the farm almost every day, eggs are still a precious commodity for the orcs.
Lu Xiao raised the corners of his lips, "The clan leader sent word that they will be back soon."
