Chapter 149: Paper
Zhao Chengxi stared at Xie Yujiao, then at the village chief, and then at the pile of rags, and asked, "That pile of things can really make paper?" ”
"It really makes paper! Or, Zhao Gongzi, will you send us more rags? "Xie Yujiao hit Zhao Chengxi's idea, there should be a lot of tattered military uniforms and the like in the barracks, anyway, the barracks are useless, it is better to give it to her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's so rare about this, I'll send it to you when I get back!" Zhao Chengxi thought that anyway, those things in the barracks were useless except for burning them, so it was better to give them to this poor village, at least Miss Xie and Brother Tianlei would receive him this love.
After saying the disposal of the rags, they and the village chief both withdrew from the school.
The village chief also went home on his own.
Xie Yujiao was pulled on the horse by Zhao Chengxi, and repeatedly told him not to run like crazy last time in the capital, so the two rode home under the scorching sun.
On the way, Xie Yujiao asked, "Why are you here again?" Sending something or sending a letter? ”
"It's not sending something, it's not sending a letter!" Zhao Chengxi said mysteriously, "My father received news that the army from the north has set off and should be able to arrive in Beijing next month." ”
"Huh?" Xie Yujiao reacted that the northern army that Zhao Chengxi said was the army led by Zhao Kuangyin to fight against the Khitan.
"Is the North all right? The Khitan army also withdrew? She asked.
"Well, withdraw, withdraw, the Khitan army has withdrew!"
"That's good, the Khitan army has withdrawn, and there is no need for our Great Zhou army to send so many troops in the north."
"Brother Tianlei should be very happy to see you when he comes back."
"Yes, he thought I was dead at the beginning, but in that case, I was able to survive because the king of Hades did not accept my blessing!"
Although the horses did not run as fast as they did the first time, they were much faster than the human legs walked, and in a short time they arrived at the Qu's house.
Kufei screamed in the yard, Xie Yujiao got off the horse, and touched its head first when it entered the courtyard, and then it quieted down and stared vigilantly at the stranger who came in.
Old Man Qu had already prepared face wash and herbal tea, and was stewing chicken at this time.
This chicken was also thrown into the yard by Futu yesterday evening.
Originally, I thought that Futu went to the school in the morning, so there was no time to enter the mountain again.
Unexpectedly, he also went to the school in the morning, and went directly to the mountains after school, and didn't even return home at noon.
As long as there is a harvest every day, he must take care of Xie Yujiao first, which also makes Xie Yujiao very troubled.
Don't accept it, this Futu is a tenacious person, and when he gave it back to him, he decided that Xie Yujiao disliked him uselessly, and then he looked deeply shocked and depressed.
Take it, it will make him have illusions again.
Now it's really wrong for her to accept it or not!
In the end, the old man said that now the things will be collected first, and every sum will be accounted for, and when Futu has any thoughts in the future, he will return it to him at one time.
Well, Xie Yujiao really had no other way, so she had to follow her grandfather's words, and the things should be collected according to them, and the accounts should be kept well for the general ledger.
Fragrant pheasant stewed with radish, plus a small stir-fried pork, a stack of fried peanuts, and a large pot of white rice.
This made Zhao Chengxi sigh: "Your family is also living a good life!" Doesn't it mean that many farmhouses can't eat? Your big pot of white rice is even more luxurious than my family! ”
Who's to say it isn't! Xie Yujiao thought.
She was a southerner in her previous life, and she was used to eating rice since she was a child, and only occasionally ate some pasta to change her taste.
In this life, she was also reincarnated in Shu to eat rice, and now in the north, her grandfather has also figured out her eating habits, and when she eats rice, her appetite is very good, and her appetite decreases a little when she eats two or three meals of pasta in a row. In order to treat her, her grandfather now cooks mainly rice, occasionally baking pancakes, making noodle soup and the like.
Xie Yujiao realized more and more that her grandfather's love for her was as strong as her biological parents.
This made her more and more entangled in leaving the old man here alone. She is not at ease, and she is reluctant to return to the days of living alone in the future.
That's why she struggles so much whenever she thinks about going home.
The three of them finished eating quietly and sat in the room and chatted with a big fan.
It was mainly Zhao Chengxi who was talking about the return of the army to Beijing.
"If you want me to say, you should enter Beijing in advance and wait for the triumphant troops to enter the city. That scene is hilarious, don't all little girls like to watch the excitement? You should go and have a look, and besides, Brother Tianlei is also back, don't you want him to see you as soon as possible? ”
"Huh?" Xie Yujiao didn't understand why Zhao Chengxi said this, "Why did you want Brother Li to see me for the first time?" ”
"Huh? Brother Tianlei cares about you so much, shouldn't he see you for the first time? Zhao Chengxi's eyes widened, and he was incredulous that Xie Yujiao could ask such a question.
Xie Yujiao felt that he couldn't tell Zhao Chengxi clearly, he was too blind to worship Li Tianlei, he thought that Li Tianlei could violate military law and kill so many Khitans in order to avenge Xie Yujiao, Xie Yujiao should be grateful.
It's a pity that Xie Yujiao doesn't worship Li Tianlei like him, there is a promise between her and Li Tianlei as a bond, maybe now Xie Yujiao has more admiration for Li Tianlei, but it has not reached the level of fascination like Zhao Chengxi.
According to the 21st century, Zhao Chengxi is Li Tianlei's loyal fan brother.
Xie Yujiao thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to go to the capital, otherwise Li Tianlei would have to come to the village. He had just returned to Beijing, and he was very busy, and he had nothing else to do except teach a group of children to read.
She asked, "When will the army arrive in Beijing?" ”
"A month later, a month and a half at the latest. How? Or decided to go see the excitement? ”
Xie Yujiao looked at her grandfather and asked, "Why don't we go to the capital in a month, or Brother Li will have to toss back and forth?" “
The old man didn't care, so he nodded, "Okay, let's go and see what he said!" ”
This month, regardless of whether the paper can be made or not, there are results.
There are also those children who can also read a lot of words, and they can be arranged to practice calligraphy in the days after leaving, so as not to be wasted again.
After the date of the capital was decided, Zhao Chengxi wanted to rush into the city after dark, so he didn't sit long and rode away.
Xie Yujiao wants to take a nap, and she plans to wake up and go into the mountains to find trees and vines that can be used as sols.
She had already worked out several targets in the book, and now she was waiting to be retrieved for further experiments.
She also took advantage of the memory of her previous life, but she only knew a rough idea of the traditional craft papermaking process.
She was sure that paper would be made successfully, but she had little confidence in paper, after all, fine paper must be a secret art that has not been passed down from home.
Xie Yujiao and her grandfather picked two large baskets of various tree vines and came back, went to the branches and leaves, smashed the vines, soaked them in different containers, and waited for three days to produce results.
The pile of rags was cleaned by the village chief, soaked overnight in lime water mixed with a good proportion of Xie Yujiao, and then taken out and placed in a cool place to soak for a few days.
After five days, the rags are washed again, then beaten repeatedly, and then washed again to pick out impurities.
Finally, a certain proportion of lime water is used to decolorize the pulp.
The pulp that is taken off is the final material to make paper.
Then pour the pulp into a large pool, then pour a certain amount of water into it and stir it carefully, and then add the pre-prepared vine sol and stir.
The next step is to get the paper out.
Gently scoop it out of the pulp in the pool with a flat mat, and then carefully take it out to control the excess water, and a thin piece of paper will be formed on the mat.
Dehydrate the freshly produced paper together, and then spread it out one by one to dry.
After drying, a wide piece of paper is created, and then the irregular corners are trimmed, just like the paper sold in the Four Treasures Shop of the Study, there is no difference.
