Hearing Liu Zhonghe's puzzled words, Tang Huairen laughed, "Haha, old man Liu, when you know this surprise, you will definitely be the same as me." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Like you, I'm not very familiar with cigarette refining...... No, you're saying that the next surprise will be for me to make rice paper by myself, what kind of surprise is this, could it be that you have discovered some new way to make rice paper? As he spoke, Liu Zhonghe seemed to have thought of something, and said with a little excitement on his face.

"We can't find a new way to make rice paper...... However, we have discovered new materials for making rice paper. Tang Huairen deliberately lengthened his tone, and then made a reversal.

Liu Zhonghe glared, "You have discovered a new material for making rice paper, which is even more unreliable than discovering a new method, and the materials used to make rice paper now are all finalized after hundreds of years of experiments, just take another thing and add it to it, this is a joke." ”

"Oh, Lao Nie, it seems that you are really right, I found the wrong thing with Old Man Liu, and now I have to change people. Hearing Liu Zhonghe's words, Tang Huairen shook his head and sighed lightly.

Nie Wenshan also nodded in agreement, "It's really going to be replaced, Master Liu doesn't believe in our new materials, it's a pity, he's destined to miss a material that hasn't been found in the world before." ”

Lin Xiuyuan also waved his hand and said, "Since you want to change people, what are you waiting for, the big guy hurry up and go out to continue refining cigarettes." ”

Hearing the words of these people, Liu Zhonghe hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't, I was shocked just now, it's not that I don't believe it, there are no new materials that have been discovered in the world before, of course, this is extremely amazing, and you definitely don't believe it either, come on, now it's just time to take it out and open the eyes of my old man." ”

"It seems that Old Man Liu already knows that he is wrong, so we will give him another chance, what do you see. Tang Huairen smiled, after all, they and Liu Zhonghe were old friends, and the replacement was just a joke.

"It's not impossible to give him a chance, but Xiao Yu's future rice paper, this old man is going to have it all. Nie Wenshan looked at Liu Zhonghe, and then spoke.

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing, "Old Nie, even if you don't speak, just by taking out a new material of rice paper, this old man will have to cover it all." ”

"All inclusive, Zhou Xiaoyou's calligraphy is so good, I'm responsible for all the rice paper, quickly take out this new material, hey, what you just said seems to be this new material taken out by Zhou Xiaoyou." At this time, Liu Zhonghe was keenly aware of something.

Tang Huairen stretched out his finger and pointed at him, "You old man found out in advance, Xiaoyu, take those things out." ”

At this time, Liu Zhonghe's eyes were firmly fixed on Zhou Yu, a new material for making rice paper, which had never been discovered before, and he wanted to see what it was.

Zhou Yu nodded and smiled, opened a schoolbag he was carrying, and took out some grasses, which he did not put in the storage ring, but kept them in the schoolbag, and did not touch the sunlight.

"It turned out to be grass. Seeing what Zhou Yu took out, Liu Zhonghe's face showed a strange color, and then he hurriedly stepped forward, took some Wencao from Zhou Yu's hand, and observed it carefully.

Although these grasses look a little ordinary from a distance, since Tang Huairen and they dare to call themselves over, then this grass must be extraordinary.

Of course, the Jingxian straw used to make rice paper is also very ordinary, but it is more suitable for making rice paper than the straw in other places, he took the grass in his hand, pinched it, and then carefully observed it for a while, and his face couldn't help but show a touch of surprise.

"The fibrous nature of these grasses looks very strong, and the quality of the rice paper produced will be better, and it will be smoother, which is simply a bit incredible, I have seen almost all the straw in China in the past few decades, and even some foreign ones, but when it comes to fibrousness, it is not as good as Jingxian straw. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the grass in his hand and said: "And now these grasses are far more fibrous than Jingxian straw, this is really a good material for making rice paper, old Tang, I admit my mistake, I was a little contemptuous just now." ”

"Haha, now you know it's wrong, are these grasses worth experimenting with? Tang Huairen laughed heartily.

"Of course, these grasses are so excellent, I have to make rice paper by myself, so I can rest assured, yes, Old Tang, you are refining tobacco yourself now, could it be that there is also a new material for making ink." Liu Zhonghe nodded without hesitation, then thought of something, looked at Tang Huairen with curiosity on his face, and then glanced at Zhou Yu.

Because these grasses were taken out by Zhou Yu, then Tang Huairen's new ink-making materials are probably the same.

"If you are smart, Xiao Yu came up with two new materials, one is the ink grass juice that can be added to the ink, and the other is the grass used to make rice paper. Tang Huairen pointed at him and said with a smile, they had discussed the source of Wencao with Zhou Yu before, and decided to tell Liu Zhonghe.

"Ink grass juice, where is it, can you let me see. Liu Zhonghe said with anticipation on his face.

"Well, for the sake of your curiosity, I'll reluctantly let you take a look. As he spoke, Tang Huairen took out a box from the small bag he was carrying, which was wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, and what was placed in the innermost was the small bottle of ink grass juice.

Then, he handed the bottle of ink grass juice towards Liu Zhonghe, "You have to be careful, now we only have this small bottle of ink grass juice, if you break it, I must make you desperate." ”

"Don't worry. Liu Zhonghe carefully took it and watched it in his hand, the liquid in this bottle was pitch black and shiny, it seemed to be darker than ink, and it exuded an attractive atmosphere, very mysterious.

After obtaining Tang Huairen's consent, he carefully opened the cap of the bottle and smelled the smell of ink grass inside, which made his face show a different color, "This liquid exudes an intoxicating ink fragrance, and it is definitely a good material for making ink." ”

After looking at it for a while, he carefully closed the lid, then handed it back to Tang Huairen, and looked at Zhou Yu's body, "Zhou Xiaoyou, how did you get these two magical materials, one can make ink, and the other can make paper, it's incredible." ”

"Haha, Xiao Yu is such an amazing person, it is natural to take out these two materials, is it still worth being amazed. Tang Huairen laughed, forgetting the shock he felt when he saw the ink grass before.

Liu Zhonghe thought of Zhou Yu's magic, and immediately nodded, Ling Rice, Ling Wheat Flour, and Immortal Fruit Wine, all of them tasted shocking, and it was indeed not surprising that he was able to take out these two materials now.

Then, during the chat, he also learned that the Cuiyin bamboo flute made by Nie Wenshan was also made of bamboo taken out by Zhou Yu, and he was even more shocked, and even a little numb.

After chatting for a while, Liu Zhonghe couldn't help but ask: "Zhou Xiaoyou, how much of this kind of grass do you have now, I will immediately take it back for testing." ”

"I took about twenty pounds of these herbs this time and put them in the trunk of the car. Zhou Yu said with a smile, the reproduction speed of Wen Cao is much faster than that of Mo Cao, and it can become a plant in two or three days in the Spirit Gathering Array, and Mo Cao, except for Haoran Righteousness, will not absorb spiritual energy at all.

However, the production of rice paper requires a large amount of grass, and the production of ink, only need to drip some ink grass juice, the same reason, when writing and painting, the consumption of rice paper is very large, and a piece of ink ingot, can be used for a long time.

"Twenty catties is enough for me to test a batch of rice paper, give it to me, I'll test it now." Liu Zhonghe said anxiously, he has made rice paper for most of his life, and now he has discovered a new material, of course, he has to rush to experiment.

"Haha, old man Liu, what's the hurry, you can rush back in two or three hours, what Xiaoyu brought over is not only twenty catties of wencao, but also other things, which may also improve the quality of rice paper. Nie Wenshan laughed and said.

Liu Zhonghe's face showed a hint of surprise, "What, there are other things, you guys, you guys like to play mysterious, and you don't take out anything at once, Zhou Xiaoyou, quickly take out the rest of the things and let me see." ”

"The next thing is the flower that grows on the grass, but this flower is more unique. As he spoke, Zhou Yu took out the small refrigerator in his schoolbag, and after opening it, the white and flawless flower appeared in front of Liu Zhonghe.

Even if Lin Xiuyuan and the others had seen this kind of flower before, and now that they saw it again, they would still be a little amazed, this flower was really very holy.

"Lao Liu, do you say that the flower that blooms on this grass can be added to the production of rice paper. Tang Huairen looked at the surprise on Liu Zhonghe's face and asked with a smile.

"This, this is unbelievable, it will be a flower of Wencao, it is simply beautiful, white and flawless, of course, this can be added to the rice paper, maybe it will greatly improve the quality and color of the rice paper, Zhou Xiaoyou, did you bring this kind of flower. ”

Liu Zhonghe was amazed, and then nodded without hesitation, these flowers are added to the rice paper, there is absolutely only benefit, not harm.

"I've brought the flowers with me, but they should have withered in a few days now. Zhou Yu nodded, and he brought some flowers like Wen Cao, and kept them in the trunk of the car, but they were packed in boxes.

"Haha, wilting is nothing, even if it is dried, it can be used to make rice paper, take it quickly, I'll test it now." Liu Zhonghe laughed, not all of the straw they harvested could be put into use immediately, and some needed to be put in the warehouse.

Tang Huairen shook his head and smiled, "If you are in such a hurry to leave, then you can go, originally at noon today, I also wanted you to taste the fairy fruit wine and other things that Xiao Yu brought over, but now I will see it, save it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Zhonghe's face showed joy, and he immediately waved his hand and said with a laugh: "Haha, there is fairy fruit wine, what else do I go, I will leave tomorrow." ”

"Remember, when you experiment, you must notify us first and leave us some. Nie Wenshan opened his mouth to remind.

"Don't worry, I will put the rice paper that comes out of this test, how can I be willing to give it to others. Liu Zhonghe said as a matter of course.

Then, Tang Huairen took everyone and continued to come to the side of the smoke kiln, continued to refine pine smoke, and at noon, he first let Master Sun look at it for a while, and then made some food with Zhou Yu and others in the canteen of the factory, and then returned to the reception room and began to eat.

The taste of fairy fruit wine and spiritual rice naturally made Liu Zhonghe full of excitement, and he felt that it was really worth staying.

In the afternoon, Liu Zhonghe left She County in a car with twenty catties of grass and some flowers, and he was busy experimenting with rice paper, so he couldn't stay here longer.

Zhou Yu and the others didn't plan to watch the production process of rice paper, but after watching the ink-making process here, they were going back to Jingcheng.

After burning until evening, all the pine wood in the kiln was burned to ashes, and Tang Huairen also stopped the fire, and when it cooled down tomorrow, he could scrape the carbon black and start the next step of production.

The next day, after a night of cooling, the temperature in the kiln cooled down, Tang Huairen personally carried out the kiln, and scraped off all the pine smoke on the top of the innermost kiln, which was clear smoke and a material for making high-quality ink.

As for the pine smoke around the other smoke holes, Tang Huairen asked Master Sun to send someone to scrape it off, and these smoke particles can also make good ink.

The next is to boil bone glue, the traditional way in the past was to boil it in an earthen stove, but now it is basically boiled in a steam cooker, the speed will be faster, and the quality is not the slightest difference.

This time to boil bone glue, Tang Huairen also used a steam cooker to pour the best bone glue raw materials into the pot and began to boil, these bone glue is the most important thing to fuse smoke particles and other materials.

A few hours later, the two pots of bone glue were boiled, Tang Huairen poured the collected pine tobacco particles and oil smoke particles into the two pots respectively, and added the previously prepared materials, and then, the most critical time came.

Under the watchful eye of Zhou Yu and others, he carefully took out the ink grass juice in the box, and dripped five drops of ink grass juice into each pot, according to the previous plan, he made fifteen tablets of pine smoke ink and oil smoke ink, which is equivalent to one drop for every three spindles of ink.

This is the first experiment, but the ink produced is of great commemorative significance, so after consulting with Zhou Yu and a few others, he decided to drop five drops of ink grass juice.

And in this vial, there are almost thirty drops of sap, and in the subsequent experiments, he naturally will not make so much ink, so the consumption of ink grass juice will also be smaller.

When the ink grass juice in the bottle dripped down, they could faintly see the glimmer of light, and when the drop was done, Tang Huairen began to stir, fusing all the materials with bone glue.
