Chapter 569: Ink and Xuan Paper

"Xiaoyu, can I open it and smell it. www.biquge.info"After careful observation, Donald asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled, pointed to the glass bottle on the table and said, "Old Tang, of course this is okay." ”

Donald couldn't wait to pick it up, gently opened the cap of the bottle, put his nose close to the mouth of the bottle, sniffed it, and couldn't help revealing a touch of discoloration on his face, and then couldn't help but take two breaths, and said with surprise: "These ink-black liquids smell like ink, and they are even better than the fine ink we make there." ”

"Oh, this liquid actually smells of ink, old Tang, let me smell it. Seeing this, Lin Xiu said with some surprise on his face.

After taking the bottle from Donald's hand, he sniffed it a few times, and said in amazement: "Sure enough, it's the smell of ink, it's unbelievable, is this really the juice of plants, if it's not for the better aroma and the color of the liquid is different, I really want to suspect that this is some kind of ink researched by ink." ”

Then, Xu Minghua and Nie Wenshan, including Qi Jinxuan, all smelled it, and the occupations they were engaged in were all related to Chinese culture, Chinese herbal medicine, antiques, and ancient musical instruments, so they also had a lot of love for the traditional culture of calligraphy and painting.

With the relationship between Donald and Lao, they are not short of ink, they have nothing to write two words, and they are already very familiar with the smell of ink, but the liquid in this bottle, the ink fragrance emitted, is more clear, and people smell a sense of relaxation and pleasure, as if entering a place full of calligraphy and painting, which is full of a kind of ink fragrance and book.

"Not to mention the smooth handwriting and legible handwriting, the aroma of this liquid alone is definitely very exciting if it is added to the ink block. Xu Minghua said slowly, ancient ink is also an antique, and he has seen countless ancient tribute ink, but there is no kind of ink that can emit this kind of aroma.

Tang Lao nodded lightly, "That's true, the ink fragrance is also an important part of the ink, this aroma can already improve the quality of the ink, Xiaoyu, how to use this bottle of liquid, can you add it when making ink." In the end, he looked at Zhou Yu with some excitement on his face.

He already wanted to make this kind of ink in his heart, and the words written with this ink exuded such a fragrance, which really made people look forward to it.

"Yes, the juice in the bottle, you can drop a small amount when making ink, as for the proportion, it depends on Donald's experiment. Zhou Yu nodded and smiled, about the proportion, he just heard the people of Wenyuan Pavilion say that a few drops are added when making ink, and how many of these drops are made, whether they are making a piece of ink or how much, but it is not known, so naturally it is up to Tang Lao to conduct the experiment.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Donald nodded slightly, the formula of each ink is different, so the effect of this liquid will be a little different, and it still depends on the test to get the correct ratio, "I want to go home immediately and test the juice in the bottle." ”

Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand with a smile on his face, "Old Tang, don't worry, this juice won't run, what's more, you can't go by yourself, I also want to see the ink made with my own eyes." ”

"As Lin Lao said, I also want to take a look, and by the way, take a few pieces for use, hehe. Zhou Yu joked that although he had encountered Wenyuan Pavilion twice on the radio, he had not been able to get the Wenhua ink made of ink grass juice, and ink making could not be completed in a short time, so he was also joking.

"Haha, seeing that I got these juices, I was completely for you, just to see if you can, if you want to take it, I guess it will take a long time. Donald laughed, and then asked Zhou Yu: "By the way, Xiaoyu, what is the name of this plant, and can the sap be obtained in large quantities." ”

At this time, Nie Wenshan couldn't help but smile, "Old man Tang, if this juice can be obtained in large quantities, Xiao Yu will not hold such a small bottle now, but will directly bring you a large bucket." ”

Just like Cuiyin Bamboo, from the beginning to the present, there are only about twenty bamboo flutes he has made.

Qi Jinxuan is the most aware of the preciousness of Zhou Yu's things, when he just got the fairy fruit powder, he could only get three cans every three days, and then it became a little more, until there was Xianweiju, and the fairy fruit powder gradually increased.

"This plant, just like its color, is as black as ink, called ink grass, as Nie Lao said, now this kind of juice, I can't get it in large quantities, I can only provide it in small batches. Zhou Yu introduced the name of the ink grass, shook his head and said.

Although the ink grass is multiplying now, the juice that can be squeezed out is not much, otherwise, Wenyuan Pavilion will not treat Wenhua Mo as a treasure, in the peach orchard, there are only seven ink grasses, and there are no adult plants.

Donald looked at the juice in the bottle, smiled and nodded, "It's already a kind of luck to be able to get this kind of juice, at least after the test is successful, we people can use good ink." ”

"Donald, you have to keep some of the ink made in this first experiment, I want to collect it, this is of great commemorative value." Zhou Yu opened his mouth and said, this kind of ink with ink grass juice will definitely be famous in China at that time.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll engrave some words on the ink when the time comes, so you can collect it. Boss Tang laughed, how could he meet the requirements of the ink grass that Zhou Yu took out.

"Old Tang, look, it's still Xiao Yu that I introduced you to know, why don't you give me some collections. At this time, Xu Minghua also coughed and said.

As an antique master, this rare collection opportunity, can not be missed, this kind of ink grass juice now, has been a little extraordinary, the production of ink, will definitely crush other ink, when the first time to test out, absolutely has a huge collection value.

Subsequently, Lin Xiuyuan and Nie Wenshan also spoke one after another, and Tang Lao couldn't help waving his hand, and said a little helplessly: "Okay, both have a share, all have a share, I will give you the ink that has been tested, and you will watch from the side when the time comes." ”

At this time, seeing that everyone wanted to collect ink, Zhou Yu said mysteriously: "Old Lin, don't be in a hurry to ask for ink first, you should ask me what the next surprise is." ”

At this time, hearing Zhou Yu's words, Tang Lao, Lin Xiuyuan and the others suddenly turned their heads, and said with surprise on their faces: "Xiaoyu, is there another surprise?" ”

This ink grass juice had already shocked them, but they really didn't expect that Zhou Yu had another surprise.

The Tang Renhuai beside them was from an ink-making family, and now this ink grass juice is also related to ink, so they didn't guess that there would be a surprise, could it be that the next surprise is still related to ink.

From the time they met Zhou Yu, the surprises they saw were more exciting than the other, and they were full of expectations for the next surprise.

"Of course, I didn't say there was only one surprise this time. Zhou Yu said mysteriously.

"Xiao Yu, this surprise should have nothing to do with Old Man Tang. At this time, Nie Wenshan said with anticipation on his face.

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, "Elder Nie, congratulations, I guessed wrong, what I took out this time, Tang Lao should be the most suitable." ”

"Haha, Lao Nie, it's useless for you to be jealous, you have a specialization in the art industry. Tang Huairen laughed heartily, and then couldn't wait to say: "Xiaoyu, what is your other thing, take it out and take a look." ”

"Wait a minute, the fish seems to have taken the bait. Zhou Yu looked at the fishing rod in front of him and said.

Tang Huairen hurriedly grabbed him, "You kid, don't worry about the fish, no matter how good the fish you catch, it's no better than your anchovy, hurry up and take out the things." Lin Xiuyuan and others next to him also echoed.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "The next thing is still grass, but it's very different from ink grass." ”

Lin Xiuyuan and the others showed a hint of surprise on their faces, it turned out to be grass, "Xiaoyu, what kind of grass is this time, take it out and take a look." ”

At this time, Zhou Yucong put his hand into the bag, so that Lin Xiuyuan and the others next to him were eager to snatch the bag over and see how many treasures there were inside.

When Zhou Yu's hand was taken out of the bag, there was already an extra handful of green grass, "These grasses are another surprise of mine." ”

Lin Xiuyuan and the others each took out a piece of grass from Zhou Yu's hand and observed it, these green grasses, compared with the black juice of the ink grass, seemed to be a little bland, which made Lin Xiu and the others a little puzzled.

"These grasses don't seem to have anything unique, what is their use, is it also ink-making? Tang Huairen couldn't help but ask, since it was related to himself, of course he was very concerned.

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, "Ink making has the juice of ink grass, it is enough, there are some things in the world that seem ordinary, but they have extraordinary power, just like the straw in Jing County, it is an important material for making rice paper, the four treasures of the study, ink and paper are the most commonly used, since there is ink, then paper is also indispensable." ”

In the end, he looked at the grass in his hand and said with a smile: "The grass I took out is for making rice paper." ”

"Straw, rice paper. Tang Huairen's eyes lit up, he carefully observed the grass in his hand, and then pinched it with his hand, with a touch of surprise on his face, "These grasses look very fibrous, and they are indeed good materials for making rice paper." ”

"It turned out to be for making rice paper, and we were all fixed by Xiao Yu before, and we only thought that Lao Tang was making ink. Lin Xiuyuan looked at the grass in his hand, shook his head and smiled.

"I haven't finished yet, although these grasses look ordinary, but the flowers they produce are different, and I have saved one this time. Zhou Yu smiled, took out a box from his bag again, and when he opened it, a cool air came out of it.

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, they didn't expect that Zhou Yu, this kid, didn't take out all the things at one time, when they approached the box, their faces were full of surprise, in the center of the box, there was a white and flawless flower, and there were four ice packs around it.

This flower looked very pure, spotless, whiter than the whitest rice paper they had ever seen, and this whiteness seemed to be like a holy color.

"Is this flower really the grass in our hands blooming, such an ordinary grass, but such an extraordinary flower, it is unbelievable. Tang Huairen looked at the flower and said with some amazement.

"The flower that blooms from these grasses is the one in front of you. Zhou Yu nodded, when he saw this grass blooming, he was also full of surprise.

Lin Xiuyuan's face was full of emotion, "This may be turning decay into magic, by the way, will these flowers be used when making rice paper?" ”

"I got the information that this grass is the material for making rice paper, and as for whether the flowers can be used, it will take some experiments, but such extraordinary flowers should also be part of the rice paper materials. Zhou Yu shook his head, the effect of these herbs was all guessed by him, and he didn't know if the flowers could be used.

"Haha, the two surprises this time are really exciting, one is the material for making ink, the other is the material for making rice paper, the four treasures of the study, the two most important things, now all together. Tang Huairen laughed, his face full of excitement.

Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, the four treasures of the study, pen and inkstone can basically be used for a long time, only ink and paper, is the most used, and sometimes the best pen and inkstone can not be mass-produced, but ink and paper, but can.

"Old Tang, you hurry back to the experiment, and then our rice paper and ink will all depend on you. Xu Minghua said with a smile, good rice paper and ink can make people more fluent and energetic when they write.

Tang Huairen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I also want to test it successfully and let you use it immediately, but the time required to make ink, like rice paper, is not something that can be completed in just one or two months." ”

"Although there are some modern tools to help now, it will take at least a few months, so that the quality can be guaranteed, when making ink and making rice paper, you can look at it on the side, as for wanting to use it, it is estimated that it will be next year. ”

Zhou Yu nodded, he had some understanding of ink and rice paper before, the ink ingot was made, it took more than ten processes, and after the final production, it also needed to dry the ink, one or two inks would take several months to dry, as for whether he could use modern tools, he didn't know.

As for rice paper, it takes eighteen processes to be made after a year, which is an ancient method of production, modern production, just like Tang Huairen said, I am afraid it will take at least a few months.

These are all traditional cultural skills, unlike the products on the assembly line of modern technology, which can produce countless pieces a day.

"We're not in a hurry, we just want to see what kind of ink is made after adding ink sap. Lin Xiuyuan said with a smile, they naturally knew that the process of making ink and rice paper was very complicated, and it was by no means possible to make it in a short time.

Tang Huairen nodded, "That's good, Old Man Liu, who makes rice paper in Jing County, you also know him, let him use these grasses and flowers to do experiments when the time comes." ”
