I ride a big black tiger and fly through the world of beasts

While the orcs were preparing supplies, Chen Shiyue was not idle either, and started studying pencils.

Although there is a brush, it is still not convenient enough.

In modern pencil making, graphite and clay are needed. In this world, graphite is not found yet, but clay is everywhere by the river. So, is it possible to make pencil core by mixing charcoal powder and clay?

Chen Shiyue asked Chiqiu to get the clay, and asked Di Bo to beat the charcoal into powder, and then mixed the two materials and kneaded them into small round sticks. It was unknown what ratio of carbon powder to clay was the best, so small round sticks of various ratios were made. After drying, the small round sticks were sent to the porcelain factory for baking.

After baking, the refills were hard. I picked them up and wrote on paper. It worked. Each refill could write, but the color was different. The darker the color, the higher the proportion of carbon powder.

Chiqiu said happily: "Sister Shiyue, we succeeded. But the pens are so thin that the beastmen have to be very careful when holding them. If they are not careful, they will break the pens. Should we make them thicker?"

Chen Shiyue smiled: "It's not finished yet. This is just the refill. It needs to be wrapped with wood."

Next, Chen Shiyue asked the two teenagers to cut the wood into a size of thumb and chopstick length, split it in half, and dug a small groove in the middle. They tried to put the pencil core into the small groove, and then put the two halves of the wood together. It felt okay. They used a brush to apply sticky tree sap in the middle of the pencil core, and then pressed the two halves of the wood together. After it dried, the original version of the pencil was completed.

I sharpened one end of the pencil to expose the lead, and tried writing. It was OK, but a little different from modern pencils, the lead was darker in color and not as durable as modern pencils. If I made a mistake, I couldn't erase it and write again. However, Chen Shiyue was already very satisfied with it.

Chen Shiyue didn't need to give any instructions for the rest. Chiqiu and Di Bo went to the daily necessities factory and taught Langkong and the others the pencil-making process. Then, pencils were included in normal production as daily necessities.

After solving the pencil problem, Chen Shiyue thought about the accounting problem again. Material Management Department, Trading Center, in fact, every department needs to keep accounts, and they must be done by a dedicated person.

Regarding bookkeeping, Chen Shiyue has dealt with financial personnel in modern society and has some idea about it. Here, bookkeeping only requires simple purchase, sales and inventory management.

I talked to Mo Chen about how to manage materials through accounting. Mo Chen was very interested. He took a notebook and pencil and waited for Chen Shiyue's guidance like a primary school student.

Chen Shiyue went to the warehouse with Mo Chen. After looking at the materials in the warehouse, they decided to create a separate inventory book for each item. There is also a problem here, which is the unit of measurement. For example, sweet potatoes are of different sizes, so it is not appropriate to record them by size, nor is it appropriate to calculate them by basket. When distributing materials on a daily basis, it is impossible to distribute them by basket, and sometimes they are distributed according to the fraction.

After thinking it over again, I decided to make the beam scale first.

The original beam scale made under the guidance of Chen Shiyue, the weight is a stone with holes and wires, and the beam is a high-density branch carved and polished. A total of three specifications of beam scales were made. The smallest unit of the small-sized beam scale is 1 jin, with scales, and it can weigh up to jin. The medium-sized scale has a minimum unit of jin and scales, and can weigh up to jin. The large-sized scale has a minimum unit of jin and scales, and can weigh up to jin.

Because of the use of the beam scale, Chen Shiyue held a temporary training course in the square, and many beastmen and females came to learn. On-site teaching, because the current counting and measurement units are relatively simple, and there is real experience, the beastmen and females have basically learned to use and read the scale.

Of course, for beastmen or females who manage materials or keep accounts, they need to learn more detailed things. Chen Shiyue took several classes for this purpose, and the objects of the classes were management beasts and warehouse keepers in the city. In the end, both the management beasts and warehouse keepers learned how to do inventory management.

From then on, the Materials Department no longer distributed materials randomly, but had to be weighed and registered before distribution. Of course, materials entering the warehouse also had to be registered.

When Chen Shiyue was free, the main river channel from the west of the port to the upstream was completely connected, and ships could sail from the port to the upstream. The supplies for going out were almost ready, and it was time to set off.

The two ships, one going up and one going down, set off at the same time, and the orcs who were seeing them off waved goodbye at the dock.

Chen Shiyue and Li stood on the small terrace on the third floor of the sailboat and waved to the orcs and females who were seeing them off at the dock.

At the dock, Liefeng, Yinfeng and Lelan stood together. Liefeng's eyes fell on the beautiful female, and he felt a dull pain in his heart.

Yiyun naturally noticed Liefeng's gaze, and his expression was indifferent. Liefeng was always very sensible, and he could ignore it as long as it was not excessive.

Chen Shiyue's eyes fell on the pregnant Lelan, and suddenly she thought that Lelan might give birth while she was away. She hurriedly called out to Huanyue who was flying around the sailboat with her brothers.

Huanyue flapped her wings and landed on the small terrace: "Mother, what's wrong?"

Chen Shiyue bent down, picked up Huanyue and went into the house. When she came out of the house, a small cloth bag was hooked on one of Huanyue's feet, and she flew quickly to the dock.

"Auntie Lelan, this is given to you by my mother so that you can eat it when you give birth to the cubs." As she spoke, Huanyue loosened her claws and the small animal skin bag fell into Yinfeng's hands.

Lie Lan said happily: "Xiao Huanyue, thank you."

As Huanyue flew towards the boat, she muttered to herself: Of course you have to thank me, these are the blood-replenishing and qi-nourishing pills that I have used to heal you, to ensure that you will suffer less pain when giving birth.

Under the gaze of the tribesmen, the two sailboats gradually left the harbor. The boat going downstream was moving very fast, and the boat going upstream was not slow either. Four crew members on both sides rowed the oars, and under the boats, Mo Yue and She Qi used their snake bodies to drive the boats forward.

Yang Chen lay on the railing, looking at the three little black tigers flying in the air with envy, muttering softly, "I wish I had wings too."

Huanyue immediately landed: "Brother Yangchen, do you want to sit on my back? I will take you flying."

The little yellow tiger's eyes lit up and he looked at the big beasts expectantly.

Yan Yixiao said, "Xiao Huanyue, can you carry Brother Yangchen?"

Huanyuehu glared at Yanyi and said, "Uncle Yanyi, you look down on beasts."

Yan laughed and said, "Yangchen, do you dare to sit? Look, Xiao Huanyue is much smaller than you."

Yang Chen looked at Huanyue and backed off a little.

Yiyun glanced at Yanyi and said calmly: "Yangchen, go ahead. Your brother Huanyue is very strong and won't let you fall."

Yang Chen happily climbed onto Huanyue's back and shouted, "Let's take off."

Huanyue flew up steadily with Yangchen, surrounded by Huanxing and Huankong on the left and right.

Li smiled and said, "Yan Yi, you underestimate Huan Yue. Look, she is carrying him very well."

Yan Yi touched his nose.

Wali said to Yangguang: "I think rowing is interesting. Let's go and exchange with them later."

Sunshine nodded: "Okay."

The two orcs said this and went downstairs.

Standing on the terrace, watching the hillsides and grasslands on both sides receding, watching the birds flying through the sky, watching the babies playing in the air, watching the clouds changing shapes, the whole person felt a little light.

Yiyun took out a red cloak from the house, put it on his partner and said, "Don't stand for too long, be careful not to catch a cold."

Yan Yi also quickly ran into the house and took out a white cloak. He put it on Li and said, "Li, do you want me to move a chair out and sit here to watch?"

Li smiled and pushed him: "Then go get two, Shiyue and I will each sit on one."

Yan Yi went there happily and quickly brought out two round wooden chairs: "Two beautiful women, please sit down."

Chen Shiyue and Li sat down with a smile, and Yiyun stood behind her so that she could lean on him. Seeing this, Yanyi also quickly stood behind Li.

Chen Shiyue leaned against Yiyun unceremoniously, her eyes falling on the forest on the side: "Ayun, can you sense that there are orcs in the forest?"

Yiyun shook his head: "No, if there are orcs, they will definitely come out to see our boats floating on the water out of curiosity."

Yes, the orcs rowing on the first floor made quite a lot of noise. If there were orcs around, I would have come out to see.

Li pointed to the sky and said, "Aren't you tired, Huanyue? Look, Yangchen is getting braver. He was lying on his stomach before, but now he's standing."

Yan Yi looked at the little ones in the sky and said, "City Lord, is your Huanyue really just an ordinary tiger cub? This is too amazing."

Yiyun's mouth curled up slightly: "Of course it's not an ordinary tiger cub."

Li grabbed Yan Yi's arm with some disappointment: "Yan Yi, I'm sorry that I haven't gotten pregnant with your child."

Yan Yi used his other hand to touch Li's hair: "It's okay, Yang Chen is also my cub. Don't think too much, even if you give birth to another cub of Wali, you don't have to feel sorry for me, it may not be your problem."

Chen Shiyue turned her head to look at Yan Yi. Yan Yi, this beastman, was really very capable. Among Li's beast husbands, he had been with Li the longest. Was it really Yan Yi's problem? She would ask Huan Yue if there was any solution. She also hoped that Yan Yi could have a cub of his own.

The boat had been sailing upstream for nearly a day. Along the way, apart from the occasional animal that was drinking water by the river and ran away in fright, no other orcs were encountered.

When sunset appeared on the horizon, Yiyun asked the orcs to pull the boat to the shore, where they would spend the night.
