Xie Yujiao folded her fingers and calculated: "The average pen is not too expensive, you can buy one for a hundred or so cheap." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info family to buy one is not too much of an expense. The inkstone is expensive, we can also use the bottom of the bowl instead, no need to buy it. However, this ink and paper are precious objects, and they are also necessary for scholars. Ink, in particular, is indispensable when practicing calligraphy. Good fonts are made day and night, practice makes perfect, and long-term writing practice. Paper is also the most important link. “

The village chief nodded, "Yes, paper and ink are too expensive, and ordinary people really can't afford it, and they are reluctant to buy it." "He is very careful with the household paper, for fear that it will cost a piece, which is a lot of money.

Good paper is expensive, but what about straw paper, it's all paper anyway.

Xie Yujiao proposed: "Why don't you let everyone buy some straw paper and use it?" Anyway, it's not a serious study, so you don't have to care too much about the quality of the paper when you practice calligraphy, right? ”

The old lady of the Li family was the first to object, "Reading and literacy is a very sacred thing, how can you be so fooled?" ”

"Uh...... So what to do? Isn't this a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that everyone can't afford to do well now? Its practical carbon strip is also very good for writing and drawing on the wooden board, and it is clean as soon as it is washed with water, and it can continue to be used when it is cool and dry, which is more convenient and saves money. ”

"......" The crowd fell silent.

Hey, this is all poor, looking at the children in the village, finally fell into the sky to read and write, but there is not even a piece of paper and ink.

Does this make the old lady not sad?

"Is there really no way?" The old man asked a little sadly.

Old Man Qu, who had never spoken, opened his mouth and said: "How about letting them go into the mountains with me to hunt and collect medicine, save the money from the sale, and then buy paper and ink when the money is enough?" ”

Xie Yujiao shook her head, "Grandpa, those are half-grown children, the mountains are too dangerous, how can you take care of so many people, and girls, if you hurt one, it will be even more cost-effective." ”

"......" still doesn't work, and everyone is silent again.

"I remember a simple way to make paper?"

"Huh? Paper? The village chief was shocked.

Xie Yujiao nodded, "Yes, but I don't know if it's right or not, and I don't know what kind of paper can be made." Why don't you try? ”

The old lady couldn't believe it and asked, "Papermaking?" It shouldn't be that easy, right? ”

Xie Yujiao remembered that she had watched an agricultural program before, which was about traditional papermaking technology, and she was still a little impressed.

"It should be feasible, the shabby clothes and fabrics that each household doesn't want can be used, just spend a little money to buy some limestone and you can operate."

"Shabby clothes can be made into paper?" Old Man Qu was also shocked by his granddaughter's idea.

"Yes, the raw materials used to make paper were tree bark, cotton and linen. Aren't our people's clothes all coarse cloth, cotton and linen? It saves a lot of work and shortens the production time. ”

"It's that simple? So why is paper so expensive? ”

"Of course, it's because there are few people who can make paper!"

"Let's go back and think about it! What to do with ink? We can't do it ourselves, right? ”

"It's time-consuming to make ink, so we don't have to. If we can make paper, we can sell paper and buy ink. “

"That's a good idea, let's go back and collect the shabby clothes first."

"Okay, remember, the more worn the better, and the broken ones can't even be used as rags." Xie Yujiao told in the back.

The village chief supported the old lady of the Li family and went back slowly.

The two old men chatted quietly on the road.

Village Chief: "Uncle, you said that this Xie girl is really not simple, and she even knows how to make paper?" ”

Old lady: "Yes, it seems that this girl is not an ordinary child. Able to read and hyphenate, speak well-spoken, do not be surprised when encountering problems, and do things unchanged. Being a teacher is also a good thing, and now I even know how to make paper. What kind of family can raise such a child? ”

Village Chief: "Yes, listening to her tone just now, she seems to know how to make ink, otherwise why do you say that ink making takes time, this is because you understand the production process!" ”

Old lady: "Forget it, no matter what, at least it's a good thing for the village that she stays now, if you want to make paper, just make paper!" ”

Village Chief: "Didn't you say that you would have to pay for limestone?" What to do with this money? ”

Master: "My family will put it on first, and when there is income in the village in the future, I will make up for it." ”

Old man Qu also doesn't understand his granddaughter more and more.

He never thought that this little girl actually knew how to make paper.

Papermaking! That's real alchemy, and the fact that paper is so expensive today shows the difficulty of this papermaking technique.

The girl can say this, which shows that she still has a lot of confidence.

Old man Qu spent an afternoon regaining a new understanding of this granddaughter.

What she rescued was not an ordinary child, this was a golden doll, a golden doll who knew all kinds of alchemy.

At the beginning, it was a hamburger, a cake, etc., but now I have something to do with paper and ink, and I can't say what new things will be understood in the future.

He has slowly accepted his granddaughter's extraordinary ability, and he will not be too surprised in the future.

In the past two days, the village chief has issued a task to the children in the village, asking everyone to go home to find relatives and other people at home, and ask for shabby clothes, fabrics, rags and other things, and the more worn they are, the worse they are, the better they are.

The children were attracted by this novel task, and after class, they begged the adults to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find tattered clothes.

Those torn clothes have no other purpose than to burn them off as firewood, so give them to the children.

Who cares how to take it.

In a few days, a pile of rags was piled up in the corner of the classroom.

On this day, Mr. Qu sent his granddaughter to class.

When he got home, he was also looking for shabby clothes, but he built a house before and burned all the useless clothes at home, and now all that can be found can still be used as rags, and I don't know if my granddaughter can use it.

Just when he was worried about a pile of old clothes, there was another uninvited guest in the courtyard.

"Miss Xie, Miss Xie!" Zhao Chengxi didn't see anyone in the yard, so he prepared to go into the house.

However, today's Qu family doesn't just want to enter, and the wolf dog named Kufei by Xie Yujiao already knows how to take care of the home.

Kufei, who was bolted to the gate of the courtyard, saw that there was a stranger at home, and he screamed until Old Man Qu came out to stop it.

"Huh? Zhao Gongzi is here? ”

It was too hot in the courtyard, and Old Man Qu beckoned him to come into the house and sit.

"Hey, where is Miss Xie, not at home?" Zhao Chengxi saw that he had been here for a while, and Xie Yujiao had not shown up yet, so he asked the old man.

Old man Qu also knew that he was specifically looking for the little girl, so he said that his granddaughter is now a teacher.

"Wow? Really? Miss Xie as a gentleman? Such a little girl, can teach others? Zhao Chengxi was so surprised and surprised, how could he think that a little girl who was only a little big could actually be a gentleman, this was too beyond his imagination, and he forgot to hide his doubts in front of the old man.

Old Man Qu didn't speak, just glanced at him.

Zhao Chengxi received the old man's cold gaze, put away his questioning expression, and hurriedly said: "The school is about to get out of school, I'll ride a horse to pick up Miss Xie!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for the old man to nod, he ran out like a fire on his buttocks, patted his chest, and said, "This old man is too protective of calves, doesn't he just don't believe that girl can teach a good person?" That look almost pokes people out of a hole, it's so scary! ”

He muttered, turned over and rode in the direction of the school.
