Chapter 207: Glue does not stick to coal
After dinner, Luo Wenqian came over, and Master Tian didn't ask him to repay the money, but actually took out another loan, and Luo Wenqian agreed.
Zhenniang was still strange at the beginning, and she didn't understand Luo Wenqian's idea, after all, the two Tian Luo families were entangled in grievances, and in Luo Wenqian's case, it seemed a little unreasonable to support the Tian family so much.
However, it wasn't until Luo Wenqian said that this loan, Mr. Tian was mortgaged by Tian's ink workshop, and Zhen Niang understood, so it is not surprising, don't look at it all along, although Luo Wenqian's house is light and light, he has not said anything about the Tian family's Luo Mo Fang, and he also has economic contacts with the Tian family in the spirit of re-business, but in fact, Luo Wenqian, as a child of the Luo family, does not want to take back the idea of Luo Mofang.
Tian Huai'an used Tian's ink workshop as collateral, and once something happened to the Tian family, Luo Wenqian would have the opportunity to get back Luo's ink workshop, so it is not surprising that Luo Wenqian lent money to the Tian family.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that with the thousand-year-old pine bituminous coal sent by the Tian family this time, the Tian family can take into account the overall situation, and it is this loan, and Luo Wenqian has nothing that he can't borrow.
And Tian Huai'an's loan is not surprising, at the end of last year, the Tian family was robbed of the right to pay tribute, I heard that the court also fined a sum of money, and this year, the Tian family did not fight for the right to pay tribute to ink, plus the previous purchase of a few painters, I want to spend a lot, and the other is long, Tian Jiamo Fang to develop, no new capital injection is afraid that it is difficult.
And from Luo Wenqian's tone, Master Tian's health is really not very good, and in Master Tian's own words, he may not be able to last this year.
Of course. How is Old Man Tian's body? Zhenniang didn't care. The only thing she worries about now is her grandfather's body.
This time, Grandpa and Seventh Grandmother didn't let her touch it again. In this way, she doesn't make ink, so obviously it can only be done by her grandfather.
But grandpa's body is really not good. Where can Zhenniang rest assured, but now that she is waiting to be married, the affairs of the ink workshop are decided by the seventh grandmother and her own grandfather, and she can't help it at all.
So her heart hung all the time.
The next day, the third uncle and the third uncle of the Luo family came. After discussing with the Li family, the final wedding date was set for May 26, and now in mid-April, it is just over a month away.
And in the next time, the family is a busy mess, getting married is a big deal, no matter how hurried, the things that should be prepared are still indispensable. You can't lose Zhenniang, that is, on the other side of the seventh room, the seventh grandmother and a few aunts and aunts also added a lot of makeup to Zhenniang. There are also three aunts in the sixth room. As well as the ninth uncle and mother-in-law of the ninth room, the aunt Xiao Huang added makeup to Zhenniang.
In addition to the eight rooms of the Li family, there is also the matter of the wedding period of the virgin mother. Everyone in the Li family got into the matter of making ink.
The stone mortar of the Cheng family, the pot of the Luo family, the thousand-year-old pine bituminous coal of the Tian family, the ink method of the Li family, and the top deer horn glue, the materials are all ready, and the collective wisdom and efforts of the ink mills in Huizhou have saved the Li family a lot of time.
Otherwise, the Li family was still looking for materials at this time.
And this time, Li Mo reversed the habit of adding various medicinal materials in the past, and this time, except for bituminous coal and glue, nothing else was mixed.
For a long time, the ancients had two completely different views on the additives of ink, some believed that the ink was like making pills, and the addition of various drugs since ancient times came how much, and there was an ink added to more than 50 kinds of medicinal materials and minerals. It can be said that it is complicated to the extreme.
But there is also another view, and ink is like cooking tea, not mixed with foreign things.
The Li family has always added more than a dozen materials to make ink, but this time, because of the difference in utensils, and the materials themselves are top-notch, so, the Li family will go the opposite way, this will not add any medicinal materials, and directly use millennium pine and deer horn glue to make ink.
In addition to preparing for marriage, Zhen Niang's affairs in the ink workshop have not been completely put down, although this time the ink making, the seventh grandmother and her grandfather did not let her touch, but she still participated in the previous trial production.
After all, her ink skills are there, and the trial ink production is just to make the formula reach the most haode ratio, not the real bucket ink, Li Lao Shopkeeper did not stop it.
Afterwards, Zhen Niang spent two days of hard work, relying on the impression in her mind, to draw an ink line map of the Great Wall in the future. Then the second aunt Huang and Uncle Jingdong of the seventh room carved into an ink mold carved plate.
zuihou, this carved plate is designated as a mountain and river carved plate, which just forms a set of mountains and rivers collection ink.
And when the engraving is completed and the waxing is finished, the formal ink making will begin.
When it was ugly, the sky was still dark, and on the Li family's side, only a few lights of the air death wind lanterns that were bright overnight were clearly extinguished in the night.
At this time, Zhenniang, who was sleeping on the bed, shook violently, and then woke up screaming, her face was very bad, she had a dream just now, and she dreamed that her grandfather was covered in blood, and she woke up from the dream all of a sudden.
The heart is pounding.
At this time, in the house of Mr. Li's shopkeeper in the east, there was a coughing sound, which was the feeling of coughing out the heart, liver, spleen and lungs.
At this time, Zhenniang couldn't lie down anymore, got up in her clothes, and walked to the east house, but she could hear her grandfather and grandmother talking in the house.
"Old man, look at your cough, you won't go to tomorrow's ink-making." In the east room, Wu sat on the bed, helping the old shopkeeper Li to drink water, while sighing and persuading.
"Who is going if I don't go, let Zhenniang go? Zhenniang is only eighteen years old, can you bear such a heavy burden on her? Besides, the heavenly family is ruthless, in case something happens, if Zhenniang has three long and two short, I can't live with this child. In the past few years, how easy have you been this child? The path she has come on is difficult for some men to persevere. "Old Li shopkeeper said.
It is said that rumors are like knives, Zhen Niang was first dismissed, and then she did business as a woman, and the rumors behind it have long been a few baskets, and how can ordinary people bear it.
Wu let out a long sigh and stopped talking.
At this time, the old shopkeeper Li said: "I know my own body, so I won't be able to survive even one ink making, it's a big deal, I'll keep it afterwards, I promise you, after this ink making." Never touch the ink again. ”
The shopkeeper Li assured the way. He himself knows his own body. After this ink-making this time, his body is indeed good enough to raise him for a while.
It's just obvious that the Wu family on the side didn't believe his words, and snorted angrily: "You told me this thirty years ago, but you have never fulfilled it once." ”
"Gotta get it, this time, I'm right what I say." The old shopkeeper Li said in a good voice.
"I hope you're talking this time." Wu Shi said at this time, and said, "Let's rest for a while." to the end of the ugly rise again. ”
"Okay." Mr. Li answered, and then fell asleep, and the oil lamp in the house went out after a while.
Zhenniang originally wanted to talk to her grandfather about today's ink making, but when she saw the lights in the house go out, she wouldn't disturb her grandfather at this time.
And she has her own plans.
In this way, after a while, it is ugly. It's still the darkest time before dawn.
But at this time, the lights in the Li family's houses were lit up one by one.
Today's ink making is really extraordinary, and bathing and burning incense are indispensable. Zhenniang also took a bath and changed into a green dress. When it was time to put on the incense, I put on a pillar of incense religiously.
Then he said to his grandfather: "Grandpa." Today's ink making, I'll give you a hand. ”
"Nope." Li Laozhang said with a straight face without the slightest hesitation.
Zhen Niang insisted on saying at this time: "Grandpa, you listen to me, I know you are for my good, but the most important thing in our family is to make good ink, boiling glue and ink is a very energy-consuming job, grandpa, granddaughter will say something unfilial, in case you can't hold on, I am on the side, I can also take over, there can be no mistake in making ink, right?" ”
"Bah, you girl, you don't have a good word early in the morning. Say it quickly, the bad ones don't work haode spirits. Zhao listened to Zhen Niang's words on the side, and slapped Zhen Niang's forehead angrily. How can there be no ink production, just say that if your grandfather can't hold on, isn't this very heart-scratching.
On the other hand, Wu was even more worried.
"Uh-huh, bad bad haode spirit." Zhen Niang hurriedly responded with Zhao's words, in fact, she said that on purpose, if she said that she was not worried about her grandfather, then her grandfather would definitely not let her follow.
But if she was afraid that her grandfather would not be able to survive, she would take over the ink-making, and her grandfather might not object, after all, ink-making is the top priority.
This is equivalent to one thing, in other words, this is what the dream last night reminded her.
On the other hand, the old shopkeeper Li heard Zhen Niang's words, but he really pondered, not to mention, when he made Liuhe Sancai ink last time, he fainted due to lack of energy, in case this time, that kind of situation appeared in the ink making, it would be really bad.
Thinking about it, the old shopkeeper Li finally relented and agreed, and he also understood in his heart that this girl was so stubborn.
However, then again, it's good to have insurance, as long as you don't have an accident and Zhenniang doesn't do it, you won't be able to implicate Zhenniang in the future.
Seeing that her grandfather finally let go, Zhen Niang smiled. Then he helped his grandfather into the ink workshop.
The Seventh Grandmother is also a rare costume today, appearing in the ink workshop early in the morning, followed by several ink makers in the ink workshop. There are also Luo Wenqian and Cheng About.
"Brother Luo, why are you here?" Zhenniang couldn't help but step forward, and asked in some surprise, I hadn't heard him mention it before.
"I am most familiar with my pot, so I asked the old lady for a job of boiling glue." Luo Wenqian pointed to the pot he sent before and said with a relaxed face.
In this way, Zhenniang also understood the intention of Cheng Yue, and wanted to come to Cheng Yue, because of her familiarity with the stone mortar, she came to pound it.
Zhen Niang met Cheng again, this will be the most famous ink maker in the future Wanli years. The Cheng family compiled "Cheng's Ink Spectrum Garden" in his hands.
"Didn't you stop coming? Why are you still here? Luo Wenqian frowned slightly. He didn't want Zhenniang to be in any danger.
"I'm also an ink maker, no matter what the reason, at this time, there is no reason to back down." Zhen Niang's eyes were shining.
Luo Wenqian rubbed his nose, but forgot that this girl's obsession with Mo Dao was no less than her grandfather's.
When they arrived at Deji, the Seventh Grandmother took the Li family and others to send several ink makers into the ink workshop, with a solemn expression.
"Ignition and work." Old Shopkeeper Li waved his hand, and everyone immediately took their places.
The fire in the stove is lit, and the red flame at the bottom of the pot turns blue and white, and the glue poured into the pot immediately melts into a clear egg white.
"And ink." At this time, the old shopkeeper Li said in a deep voice, immediately, Luo Wenqian poured the glue in the pot into the thousand-year-old pine bituminous coal, while the old shopkeeper Li was already ready, waiting for the glue to enter the bituminous coal, and immediately stirred.
It's just that the more the old shopkeeper Li stirred, the more wrinkled his head became, it was Luo Wenqian on the side, Cheng You, and a dry ink maker also frowned, and Zhen Niang also chuckled in her heart.
Glue does not stick to coal!!!
Of course, the bituminous coal used in the previous trial production was the 500-year-old pine bituminous coal treasured by Li Jiamofang, after all, the thousand-year-old pine bituminous coal was so little, and the trial production did not dare to use it at all. But now it seems that there is an essential difference between the thousand-year-old pine bituminous coal and the five-year-old pine bituminous coal.
This is something that no one in the Li family expected before, and according to common sense, in fact, this situation should not exist.
It's just a thousand-year-old pine bituminous coal, and no one has really tried it before, and some things have grown for thousands of years, and they are always a little evil.
