Chapter 203: True Fragrance

"Yes, that's what I want!" Looking at this familiar paper, this unfamiliar feel, Liu Tao can still recognize it, not to mention when he was a child, he was specially looking for this thing to buy when he grew up.

In later generations, many people on the Internet said that it was hard, and it was rubbed up with chrysanthemums. But it's absorbent, thick enough, and clean. Ordinary toilet paper is easy to penetrate the back of the paper when it is thin, so isn't it a tragedy? But it can't be wiped clean, and too much paper is wasted......

"This kind of paper, it can't be a failure, right?" Cai Yan doesn't know how to make paper, but looking at this paper, it is obviously not suitable for writing. There are too many folds, and the color is grayish, and some plant fibers can be faintly seen, which is completely a crude product.

"No, no, no, this kind of paper is good like this......" Liu Tao shook his head, and then looked at the craftsman, "How long does it take to make this kind of paper?" ”

"According to the method provided by the proprietor, we use the method of hammering to speed up the bamboo making time, and then use the method of baking the wall to speed up the molding of the paper, the raw materials are relatively simple, and there is no luxury in flatness and color, it can be made in about two weeks, and it can be manufactured in batches." The master craftsman replied.

It's an insult to papermaking, especially after knowing how to use it......

"Have you used it?" Liu Tao had to ask, and he could see that the master craftsman was a little dissatisfied with the paper.

"............" the master craftsman's expression was a little unnatural, "I have used it...... It's really easy to use......"

It's amazing, it's all 'really fragrant', what's not to be satisfied with? Look, people in their fifties, do they still plan to continue to use wooden sticks to toilet chips? Be kind to chrysanthemums, is there anything wrong?!

"It's easy to make, and it's cheap, so it's cheap. It is estimated that families with a little extra money can afford it...... Master, although it doesn't sound good, you will be famous for eternity. Liu Tao said with a smile.

The creator of the eye-catching paper is estimated to really have this name and be famous for eternity...... The question is, in these years, how many craftsmen have the opportunity to be famous for eternity? For a while, the master craftsman's expression was actually a little complicated.

"So, what exactly is this paper for?" Liu Yuanqi saw it from beginning to end, but he just didn't understand what Liu Tao and the craftsman were talking about.

This paper, in terms of style, has definitely failed. If it doesn't fail, then there must be some use, and this use makes the craftsman feel embarrassed, afraid that it is not a serious use.

"This thing ......" Liu Tao didn't mean to hide it, and confessed directly, "It's actually toilet paper...... Instead of toilets. ”

"Yikes!" Hearing that it was actually this usage, Cai Yan and Zhen Jiang suddenly screamed and turned their heads, as if they had heard something terrible.

"I said you kid, why are you ruining the paper like this?" Liu Yuanqi had a strange face, and finally squeezed out this sentence.

"This paper can be made in more than two weeks, and because the process is different, a batch can actually be made every few days...... Liu Tao directly took out a piece of toilet paper and handed it to Liu Yuanqi, "Feel it, is it better than toilet chips?" ”

"............" Liu Yuanqi pinched it, it was soft, but it was a little rough, and it was definitely better than the toilet chip in general. The problem is that it feels too expensive to use this as a toilet chip.

"Don't feel distressed, the price of this thing isn't much more expensive." Liu Tao complained, "Master, how much does it cost to make this kind of paper?" ”

"The materials are cheap, and the workmanship is rough, so even ordinary helpers can do it. Calculated down, this stack, a hundred sheets, the cost of calculating is no more than two cents. The master craftsman replied casually.

After all, it must be a large sheet, dried with a baked wall, and cut it open, about four small sheets. This knife paper was cut out of twenty-five sheets. Considering the cost and the process consumed, two pennies can not be more.

"The cost of two cents, I sell it for ten cents a stack, isn't it too much?" Liu Tao looked at the master craftsman.

"I've discussed with other masters, and here in Luoyang, thirty wen is not a problem." The master craftsman nodded and replied, compared with Cai Hou paper, the cost of this thing is outrageously low.

changed the Caihou paper, and the price of one knife (one hundred) was not less than two hundred Wen. The price of resurrection paper is lower, around 100 wen, this kind of paper is 30 wen, which is really nothing for wealthy people, and 50 wen is still profitable.

"In this case, I will sell it at a price of twenty yuan, with a small profit but quick turnover, and if necessary, expand the workshop and open a special one for making this kind of paper. At that time, the toilet paper of the whole Luoyang, and even the whole Sizhou, will be purchased here! Liu Tao proposed.

"If the proprietor intends to do so, then it is indeed okay." The master craftsman nodded, he didn't know how to operate, and there were not many people who deducted the papermaking club, so what the proprietor said was what it was.

Liu Tao turned around and looked at everyone: "See, I'm here to benefit the people of Sizhou!" ”

Cai Yan was silent, using paper as a toilet fund, feeling that he was ruining things at all. Can this paper ...... Seriously, she suddenly felt that there was really no other use for it than to be toilet paper. It's just that it won't be for a while, and I can't accept the impact.

Zhen Jiang is different, and his family is also in business, so he can see the business opportunities of this thing at a glance. Although I am a little embarrassed about the use of this paper...... So she looked at Liu Tao's eyes, and she actually had a little more admiration.

Liu Yuanqi is the most speechless, and the paper carefully used by the reader was so spoiled by this kid. But this kid's crooked reasoning, he couldn't find room to refute, so he could only snort coldly and did not comment.

"How many have been made in this batch?" Liu Tao had no choice but to ask.

"Because it's an experimental product, it's only a hundred dollars, which may not be enough for sale." The master craftsman said in embarrassment.

"So...... The ten knives were left in the paper mill and distributed to the craftsmen. Fifty knives were sent to the palace, and I took the remaining forty knives with me. Liu Tao replied.

"Thank you!" The master craftsman hurriedly grateful, this thing is said to be able to get a knife, find a merchant to sell it, fifty wen is proper. The money is not much, so it is regarded as a subsidy, and if the key is to keep it for yourself, it is actually quite good.

After using this thing, I really can't get used to using it for toilet chips or something.

After a while, the workers who were called behind took out the bundled paper, and Liu Tao didn't talk nonsense, he directly took two knives, handed them to Cai Yan and Zhen Jiang, and said with a smile: "Those who see it have a ......."

"This ......" Cai Yan was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to take it, but Zhen Jiang took it with a smile and thanked him.

Liu Yuanqi also saw all this, and probably saw that Cai Yan was a little worse in terms of sophistication, and he was only suitable for a husband and children. But if you want to help Liu Tao, Zhen Jiang is very good, this kid is quite good at picking people.

The next four people looked at the production progress of other papers and left...... At the paper mill, it doesn't taste very good.

After another two days, the palace decreed that the toilet paper became a tribute...... When I returned home, I found Liu Yuanqi and went to the toilet with two pieces of paper with a calm expression...... This old guy looked disgusted two days ago......
