Chapter 163: Unavoidably Troublesome
The stone slab kept rapidly rotating, and Ru was becoming more and more proficient. Though, this was based on having ruined about ten pieces.
Of course, Su Bai did not think much of it. After all, how many truly meticulous people could there be in a Primitive Tribe? Most were brought up rough, who ate meat and drank blood. Ru’s current performance was already exceptional under such circumstances.
“Shaman, what I made doesn’t look good…” Ru felt guilty. The bowl in his hands, though no longer crooked and twisted, was not very attractive.
“It’s fine, just keep practising. If you want to get good at creating something great, you have to practise.” Su Bai said softly.
Ru’s red eyes immediately became serious, and he responded earnestly, “Shaman, I will work hard.”
“Mm, you continue practising. If you don’t understand something, ask me. I’m going to check on the linen and papermaking,” Su Bai calmly stated. He turned and walked towards the stone mill, seeing it rotating at a steady pace.
[Relying solely on manpower won’t do…] Su Bai rubbed his chin thoughtfully, continuing to mutter to himself, “If we had donkeys or horses, it would be better. That way, we would be able to free up more manpower. What this Primitive Tribe lacked most now is people. If it took several people just to turn the stone mill, creating cremanics would not be worth it.” “Shaman, what did you say?” Yu Ying had been watching him mumble something.
“It’s nothing, I’m just thinking about some things.” Su Bai smiled, continuing to observe the operation of the stone mill.
He noticed that their papermaking speed was much faster this time, unlike when they first started. When they first started, they would fumble around and only be able to make a few dozen sheets of paper a day. Now, they could make about a hundred sheets a day, all of which were stored in Su Bai’s Teepee.
