Chu Ying put the papermaking curtain on a wooden frame of equal size, and there were a few pieces of wood in the wooden frame as support, and wooden strips were placed on both sides of the papermaking curtain, so that the copied paper was neat all around.

Chu Ying first used a stick to beat the pulp in the pool evenly, and then put a piece of wood in the middle of the pool to fix it, so that when the paper curtain was finished, it could be picked up and put on the edge of the pool and the wood.

But this papermaking is a technical job, the pulp must be evenly distributed on the papermaking curtain to make a piece of paper, waiting for the papermaking curtain to swing back and forth for a long time before Chu Ying can make a paper that looks more uniform.

Take off the paper curtain, put the wet paper on the wooden board in turn, and insert two thin bamboos in the section of the wooden board close to you, so that the paper curtain can lean on the bamboo and stack the wet paper neatly one by one, waiting for the palm-high stack of wet paper The day has passed.

Chu Ying added a wooden board to the wet paper, and then pressed the stones and other heavy objects, so that some water could be pressed out, and on the second day, Chu Ying slowly tore off the stack of paper one by one and brushed it on the bluestone slab of the baking paper with a brush, so that when the second one was torn off, the previous one was already dry.

Chu Ying cut and sewed the hemp paper and then wrapped it in burlap, so that the outer skin of the book would be more durable, Chu Ying put the finished 20 small books in a wooden box, and waited for the next time the black charcoal came, it could be sent to the Lu Mansion.

Waiting for the papermaking to be done more, Chu Ying also slowly mastered the skills, and if she did it three times, she could have a chance of succeeding twice, Chu Ying told her about her experience, and Ye Qiu asked her to explore slowly, so she rented an ox cart to see the progress of the bamboo forest.

Chu Ying looked at the bamboo that had been peeled off the green skin and was split into small pieces floating on the surface of the river, and waited for the place where the paper mill was built, Chu Ying saw that Wang Qiyuan was reinforcing the bamboo inserted in the middle of the minimum river width, which was used to block the bamboo pieces that went downstream.

"Chu Ying, Uncle Qi and Uncle Qiu haven't come back yet, why are you here? You see if this bamboo is right to do this, and I did what you said, I don't know if I was mistaken. I went to tie up the ox cart. Wang Jiyuan tied the ox cart to a few bamboos.

"Just come and see, it's good, wait for ten days to soak the bamboo slices and cut them up in small pieces and tie them into a ball, soak them in the plant ash, a spoonful of plant ash, five spoons of water, and soak them for 0 days, take them out and wash them in the river." Chu Ying looked at the two large stoves that had been made, and a large bamboo steaming bucket was also placed on them.

"Okay, it's not hard."

Chu Ying looked at the two pairs of Tsubaki that had been made, and he couldn't reach the handrails when he stepped on the pedal, this was explained to him, and he had to do it a little higher, and he would definitely have to invite a few men to do it at that time.

"Sakura girl, you're here, there are some problems here, come and see, you said last time you wanted to build it like this, but I think it's better to dig out a pond and lay bricks, and then spread bamboo to divert water from the river, and you don't have to carry water back, but this drainage is also a problem." Uncle Qiu took out the drawings from his pocket, which had been turned over and somewhat damaged.

"It's okay, Uncle Qiu, these pools don't need to be changed often, just follow the drawings." Chu Ying looked at the bamboos piled up into a hill, and I didn't know what they were going to do if I didn't take them to soak them.

"Sakura girl, these are used to build houses, you can build a few bamboo houses, the materials are bamboo, but it will take some time, when the weather is hot, the bamboo house will be cooler, and other houses will be made of adobe houses according to your drawings, and I will make a house shelf when the time comes." Chu Ying watched Uncle Qi and his apprentices digging the soil, probably to make the foundation.

"Okay." Chu Ying put the grain brought by the ox cart into a room that had already been built.

This is the house where Wang Jiyuan lives now, and there is only a wooden bed and neatly arranged tools. "You can't be hungry here, this food is enough to eat for a while, I'll come back in a few days, and then I can probably start working, and when the house here is built, you can let Lu Meng and Qian Yong help, and see how you pay the wages when the time comes."

Wang Jiyuan covered the grain with wood, but he couldn't see what was in the corner. "Okay, anyway, there is no farm work now, and they are just looking for some casual workers to do, so if you want to leave, you have to leave early, or you will be late."

"Okay, then you take care of yourself, everything is good at home, my sister-in-law is taking care of the baby at home in 5 days, the baby will be full moon, you can come back for a few days, and it should be about the same by then."

Chu Ying said goodbye to Uncle Qi and Uncle Qiu and went home quickly, and when it was almost dark, he finally arrived home, and after eating hastily, Chu Ying began to print, and carved the books that Lu Ming said were commonly used to do a full page of engraving, and only when the time came to print them.

However, the printing of this full page will be more difficult, because a wrong word will have to be all over again, so it is already the day when the Wang family's baby is full moon after carving a copy, and there is not much surplus food due to the drought, but the Wang family plus Ye Qiu and himself.

Although the dishes were not very rich, the rice was indeed made a lot, but Chu Ying ate more wild vegetable soup and didn't eat much rice. When they were waiting for the banquet, Chu Ying and Wang Yuyuan explained how to make pulp.

These basic processes are similar to those used to make paper, but the fiber of this bamboo is more difficult to extract than hemp, and it takes more time to soak, steam, and beat, and Lu Meng and Qian Yong have also helped before, so it should not be difficult to get started.

"Okay, I'll show you when the time comes to make some, will you bring it when it's done? Don't you make paper there? Wang Jiyuan gave the child in his arms to Bai Yuhe, this child was quite ugly when he was born, and now he looks very cute when he has flesh.

"I don't do it there, the bamboo forest to my house and the direction of entering the city is the same, so I make the pulp and transport it to my home, make paper at home and then transport it to the city, making paper is a careful job, and it is quite time-consuming, so it is better to do it at home." Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu in the distance, but felt a little ghosted, and he didn't drink either, but he didn't know how this could happen.

"Okay." After Chu Ying and Wang Jiyuan finished speaking, they asked him to hug the child quickly and share the joy of family.

In the next few days, Chu Ying continued to engrave, but sometimes there was always a ghost in the distance, and the distance between the ghosts became larger and larger, Chu Ying put down the carving knife that was held by the handle and was already a little jade, and took Changsheng out for a walk.

Maybe it's because of the long-term close work, so the eyes are a little tired, there are no eyes in this era, I can't let the eyes be myopia, or I can't go hunting at that time, half of the hunting is long-distance shooting, if the eyesight is not good, it will affect the hunting results.

Fortunately, other books are not very commonly used, Chu Ying can print as long as the typesetting is good, and all the facilities on the bamboo forest side have been built, and the manual addition of materials cost a total of 0 taels of silver, and the first batch of pulp was also transported.

The pulp made of bamboo will look whiter, in fact, adding more lime can make the paper whiter, but that will have some impact on the environment, and the off-white paper made of this looks quite tasteful.
