Chapter 18 The Problem of the Duan Yan

At this time, the shopkeeper Cheng's face is not good, this five-stone loose ink is a special ink launched by the ink workshop recently to the scribe circle, and the ink shop has invested a lot of money, and it is ready to use this ink to participate in the tribute.

I never thought that the performance of ink would be like this now, but it was clear that there was no problem at all in trying ink.

Shopkeeper Cheng couldn't figure it out.

"Shopkeeper Cheng, it's better to find a Yan Yan, or an ordinary old pit inkstone to try." Zhen Niang stepped forward at this time.

"Who is this girl?" Mr. Na Dongtu turned his face and glanced at Zhen Niang, slightly surprised, this girl was plainly dressed and a little thin, but at a glance, there was a different kind of charm.

It is said that everyone's wind is not like it, nor is it the kind of jasper of the small family, which gives people the feeling that it is natural, and the clouds are light and the wind is light.

"Back then, Li Mo, the granddaughter of Li Jinshui, the old shopkeeper, was quite the true legend of the old shopkeeper." On the other hand, the shopkeeper Cheng introduced, as for the true biography or something, it was obviously to put gold on Zhenniang's face.

"Why does Zhen Niang say this, could it be that there is a problem with Duan Yan?" Shopkeeper Cheng also turned his head at Zhen Niang at this time and asked urgently.

"It's just an idea, I can't say the details for a while, and if Shopkeeper Cheng doesn't want to try it first, it's just a matter of an instant." Zhenniang said with a smile on her face.

Then he saluted Mr. Nadontu. It's a sign of gratitude to myself for interjecting casually.

"Okay, then let's try." Shopkeeper Cheng is like a drowning man holding driftwood at this time, and he has asked the guy to invite the third master, but he can't be stiff before the third master comes, try more and cause less to delay time, and wait for the third master to deal with this matter.

Mr. Dongtu was slightly unhappy, he only felt that there were many excuses, he took it out and studied it, in terms of quality, it is definitely a case of the top three in Huizhou, is it possible that this square ink does not perform well on a good inkstone, and can it still perform well on a bad inkstone?

Therefore, Mr. Dongtu was a little angry in his heart, but the etiquette of the virgin lady was over, and he was such a little girl, so he didn't care about anything, so he nodded.

So, soon, the guy took an ordinary inkstone that he tried ink in the ink workshop on weekdays.

The shopkeeper Cheng slowly studied the ink again, and when the ink was completed, the ink was dark and dark, the ink was delicate and moist, and he licked the pen without any sense of stagnation, and there was no bubble before.

"Haha, it's really a problem with the inkstone." Shopkeeper Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief and looked happy. The matter was clarified, and he kept Cheng Mo's reputation.

"Really?" Mr. Dongtu was still a little unconvinced, so he tried again, and sure enough, the ink from the five-stone loose ink on the ordinary inkstone performed very well, which was completely different from the previous ink on the end inkstone.

Mr. Dongtu couldn't help but be interested, and asked the shopkeeper Cheng to let the guy take a few ordinary inkstones, and the ink from the ink performed well.

At this time, even a few onlookers around were also surprised.

All said: "Tsk, this girl is not simple." ”

"Why is that, girl?" Mr. Nadongtu also asked Zhen Niang with a curious face.

"Shopkeeper Cheng, Mr. Dongtu, the little woman wants to come, before, the ink did not perform well, not that the inkstone was not good, nor that Cheng Mo was bad, but because the five stones in the ink were scattered with the iron-containing ingredients in the upper inkstone, and there was a reaction, it should be said that the ink was overdone." Zhen Niang only explained at this time.

It is a recognized fact that the inkstone is easy to ink, and the ink that is ground out is moist and delicate.

And about this, in his previous life, Li Zhen chatted with a few colleagues, and the reason why Duan Yan has good ink and the color of the ink that is ground out is doubly shiny, probably because it contains iron.

But this kind of iron meets Wushisan is not easy to say, today's Wushisan is mostly the Dan Fang practiced by Fangshi, God knows what ingredients are contained in the Wushisan, and the reaction of iron and some substances is more sensitive, especially after the heat is generated when grinding ink, if the reaction is too obvious, then the production of bubbles is inevitable.

It's like making flour to make steamed bread on weekdays, and the yeast is used properly, and the surface of the steamed bread will naturally be smooth, but if it is overdone, the skin of the steamed bread will look pitted.

"Well, that's right." Mr. Dongtu nodded, he read a lot of books on weekdays, dabbled in various kinds of astronomy and geography, and knew some simple Lian Dan reactions.

Thus, a dispute was resolved.

Mr. Dongtu left satisfied, and the shopkeeper was very grateful to Zhenniang.

Zhen Niang waved her hand again and again, since she met it, she guessed some reasons slightly, it's not good to watch it, although she wasn't so sure before, but she was a woman, even if she said something wrong, no one would care too much. Therefore, we cannot sit idly by.

Then Zhen Niang took the copper oil and left.

The shopkeeper saw that she and Xi Ge'er didn't have much strength, so he sent a guy to follow and help her deliver tung oil.

So, a group of three people went out of Cheng's Moxuan, and then went to Luo's Moxuan not far in front, and also received twenty catties of tung oil, and then returned to Li's house.

And after Zhen Niang and the others left, the third master of the Cheng family hurried to Mo Xuan.

The shopkeeper Cheng made it clear that Master Cheng San breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed, Li Baye has a good granddaughter, and he is considered to have a successor.

…………………

At this time, Lee's Moxuan.

The seventh grandmother of the Li family was looking at the account book, chatting with Li Jinhe, the ninth uncle of the Li family. The two talked about what happened to Cheng Jiamoxuan before.

"Well, Zhenniang's girl is good, she has some eyesight, especially when she can sink in trouble." The seventh grandmother of the Li family said that on the day of the Tian family's trouble, the seventh grandmother of the Li family saw Zhenniang, and felt that this girl was calm and a little anxious, and her speech was neither humble nor arrogant, and the whole person's bearing was not like her father, but like her grandfather.

"The eighth child has a good granddaughter, this time I am fortunate to have Zhenniang find the reason, otherwise, the Cheng family will have to give up." On the other hand, Li Jinhe also said.

The seventh grandmother of the Li family nodded, and then asked: "By the way, Jinhua came over yesterday, and Long Binmo from the Tang Dynasty in her family also recognized it, right?" At this time, the seventh grandmother of the Li family put down the account book in her hand and asked.

"Yes, Brother Xiao Run was almost smashed, I have already asked someone to identify it together, it should be the homemade ink made by Emperor Tang Ming, which is worth a lot of money." Li Jinhe said.

"What did that girl from Zhenniang do when she went to the sixth child yesterday?" At this time, the seventh grandmother asked again.

"Begging for raw lacquer, it is said that the girl has a new ink smoke recipe, but I guess it was figured out by Lao Ba over the years." Li Jinhe paused as he said and said: "Seventh sister-in-law, I think the eighth child wants to come back, but he is subject to the oath of the year, so he pushed out the girl of Zhenniang." ”

"I don't think so, we don't know the temperament of the old eight, one has always been one, two is two, there will be no bit of vanity, back then, he swore not to touch the ink, I really won't touch it, in short, I have a feeling that this new formula is really not good and has something to do with the girl of Zhenniang." The seven grandmothers of the Li family said.

From Zhen Niang, she can see the origin of Long Binmo at a glance, and today she can help the Cheng family out of the siege in one fell swoop.

"Well, maybe." Li Jinhe was ambiguous, obviously disagreeing with the words of the seventh sister-in-law, a new ink smoke recipe would take several years of continuous shiyan to succeed, and he didn't believe that Zhenniang's girl could get it.
