Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 53
Xu Fengnian's words were so impressive that the freshmen expressed their inability to complain.

Jia Qiong knew that complaining was useless, so she asked, "Brother Xu, we don't know how to build a house, so what should we do?"

Xu Fengnian said: "Building a bamboo house is very simple. We are here to teach you, and everyone will learn it quickly.

There are a lot of bamboos around the academy, and there is no shortage of materials.

To build a bamboo house for four people, it takes about [-] shin-thick bamboos.

You can go to the warehouse to get tools for cutting bamboo. Come with us to get the tools now.

Today I will teach you how to chop bamboo. "

Jia Qiong never thought that his college life would actually start as a lumberjack.

Bamboo is very hard, especially old bamboo.

Moreover, the surface of bamboo is curved, so it is very difficult to cut it directly with a knife. You have to use a saw to cut it.

The freshmen don't know the skills and have little strength. It takes a long time to saw a single saw.

I was so exhausted that I had to rest for a long time before I could recover.

Jia Qiong finally understood why the students at Wansong Academy gave him a completely different feeling from ordinary scholars.

After experiencing such high-intensity physical labor, by the time these freshmen finish building their houses, they will almost be completely transformed.

And I'm afraid there won't be many such things arranged by the academy in the future. After long-term training, the students here will naturally not look like weak scholars.

On the contrary, they are more like the scribes of the Qin and Han Dynasties, who went to the palace with swords and shoes, mounted their horses to govern the army, and dismounted their horses to govern the people.

Xu Fengnian and other old students are very skilled at cutting bamboo, and they can saw down a tree in just a few minutes.

Under their patient guidance, the freshmen gradually mastered the skills and their speed improved a lot.

The old students had classes in the afternoon and left soon after, leaving only the freshmen working here by themselves.

Jia Qiong is the absolute main force among the freshmen. He has good physical fitness, and after mastering the skills, he is faster than the old students like Xu Fengnian, one shot in 3 to [-] minutes.

Moreover, he has good endurance and can cut seven or eight roots in a row before needing to take a short rest.

Under the leadership of Jia Qiong, although the freshmen were exhausted, no one complained anymore and they all gritted their teeth and persisted.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Fengnian brought more than 30 old students over.

When he saw the bamboos all over the ground, he couldn't help but praise: "Junior brothers, you have cut so many in one afternoon. Your performance is much better than ours at the beginning."

Lu Yu, who was already paralyzed on the ground, said with a stern look on his face: "Hehehe, it's just a matter of cutting bamboo, it's not a trivial matter."

A freshman who was also paralyzed next to him joked: "Brother Nanting, I think you only chopped eight of them."

Lu Yu's face turned red and he immediately retorted: "That's better than you, you only cut six!"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "It's already good to be able to cut six for the first time, much better than us.

You guys can take a break and go eat. We'll help you transport the bamboo back to Qingsongyuan. "

Jia Qiong said: "How embarrassing is this? We can just carry it back ourselves."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "See if they can still carry it. It would be good if they can walk back to eat by themselves.

Our senior brothers also helped us last year, so don’t be embarrassed.

But you did cut a lot, and it was enough for us to be busy for a while.

Okay, leave your tools behind, go to the bathhouse to take a bath, and then go eat.

The canteen is closed after time. "

"Then thank you all senior brothers."

"Thank you all senior brothers."

The freshmen thanked each other one after another, and then helped each other back to the academy.

Xu Fengshan and others immediately started working, cutting off the branches and leaves, sawing off the thin parts, leaving only the usable parts, and then carried them back to Qingsongyuan.

"Fengshan, this freshmen class is so awesome.

We cut so much on just the first day, no wonder you asked us all to come. "

"You haven't seen Junior Brother Jia's speed. He can hold up to twenty people by himself." "Hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to eat."

"Okay, hurry up."

After working intensively for a long time, except for a few freshmen who came from relatively poor families and had done manual labor, the rest were all exhausted.

After a difficult dinner, they all lay down when they returned to the dormitory.

Jia Qiong knew that these people who had not exercised for a long time would definitely be unable to bear the physical strain of doing such intense physical work.

It's a little better now, but after sleeping, my whole body will be so sore tomorrow morning.

Jia Qiong clapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone, listen to me.

Many of us have never done physical work before, so our bodies will definitely be very sore tomorrow, as I was when I first started practicing martial arts.

Don't even think about working tomorrow if you are in this state. It would be nice if you could get out of bed.

If you can still move, come and learn massage from me. Let's massage each other and you will be much better tomorrow. "

After Jia Qiong greeted him, a dozen people who could still move gathered around to watch Jia Qiong massaging the little fat man Lu Yu.

When he was already sore all over, he was massaged vigorously. The sour and refreshing taste made the little fat man howl like a slaughtering pig in an instant.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts, it hurts, please be gentle!"

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Tightening it won't have any effect. Pressing harder will relax your muscles and activate your blood circulation. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Lu Yu could only groan and endure it, but he still couldn't help complaining.

"Hey, if I had known I was going to suffer this kind of punishment, I wouldn't have come."

Although the others did not agree, it could be seen from their expressions that many people agreed in their hearts.

Although Jia Qiong and Lu Yu have not known each other for a long time, they also know what kind of temper he is.

This guy is just talking about it. If he is asked to drop out of school, he will definitely not agree.

Jia Qiong joked: "Brother Nanting, if you regret it, it's probably not too late to drop out of school now.

How about I go talk to the Prison Academy on your behalf and ask the Academy to return the 2000 taels of silver to you? "

Lu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "How can this be done? I can't afford to lose that person."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Then don't complain, I can't bear this little pain, and I can achieve great things in the future.

The six arts of a gentleman, rituals, music, and imperial books, how many scholars are left in this dynasty?

Nowadays, there are many talented people in the world who are poor in scriptures, and there are too many rotten scholars who are ignorant of common affairs, which is of no use to the country.

What the imperial court now lacks are state officials who can bring peace to the country through literature and military skills.

He is a capable official who is practical and proficient in common affairs.

Nowadays, the academy not only teaches us knowledge, but also exercises our body and cultivates our ability to deal with common affairs. This is exactly what I want. "

Lu Yu said: "Brother Yujing, I'm not afraid of hard work.

But what's the use of building a bamboo house? I might as well practice martial arts with you. "

Jia Qiong said seriously: "If you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the world?

Without bamboo huts and huts, there would be no Qionglou or Guangsha.

If we can't even build a bamboo house, how can we expect to accomplish anything big in the future? "

Song Mian heard this and solemnly raised his hands and said: "Brother Yujing's words are inspiring, Song Mian has learned a lesson!"

"Lu Yu is taught!"

"Liu Chuang is taught!"

"Zhao Mosheng is taught!"
