However, according to Xu Qilin's observation, due to the use of caustic soda, the pectin and lignin between the fibers are removed more thoroughly. Calcium carbonate is added as filler, and the natural wood pulp is light grayish-white, and the photolysis time should be greatly reduced.

Even Zhang Cheng and a few old craftsmen saw the difference, and after talking to each other, Zhang Cheng came over and reported: "Xia Guan and a few master craftsmen saw the color of this pulp, and felt that it would only take a month at most, or less. ”

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "The process is like this, tomorrow you can change the proportion of some materials and make a few batches of wood pulp." In addition, soaking the raw materials in lime water for a few days may remove the pigment more thoroughly. ”

Zhang Cheng said: "Soak the ingredients first, and let the officials do it." ”

"Build another workshop, and let the carpenters carve out the words as soon as possible." Xu Qilin paused for a moment, and then added: "Let's first according to the number of words on the explanation, if there is an increase in the others, I will list the words." ”

"The lower officials are saved." Zhang Cheng pointed to a clearing in the upper reaches of the river and said, "How about building a shack there, and if you want to survive the winter, you can build a workshop with a civil structure." ”

Xu Qilin looked at it, agreed with his jaw, and explained some trivial matters before he rushed back to the city with his subordinates.

The closure of the city gate and the curfew are the reasons why Xu Qilin cannot stay outside the city for a long time. Because of this, he had already had an idea of the place outside the city gate.

To be precise, Xu Qilin is interested in Guan Xiang.

The so-called Guan Xiang, according to the "Ming History, Food and Goods Chronicle": "In the place is called Fang, near the city is called Xiang." That is, it generally refers to the gathering place of residents within two or three miles outside the city gate, which is usually composed of residents and shops.

But in the Tang Dynasty, there was no Guanxiang. Xu Qilin didn't know the situation in other cities, but Chang'an just didn't.

If you can get the land outside the city and build shops along the avenue, you will not waste it, and it can even be said that every inch of land is expensive.

It is not affected by the curfew, and it is okay to close the city gates, and it can also provide a place for those who have entered the city by mistake to eat, stay and have fun.

In other words, there is no time limit for doing business here, and you can open a night if you want.

It's just that if you want to buy the land here and engage in real estate development, you have to go through the permission of the imperial court. Who knows if His Majesty Li Er and the ministers will oppose it, and the most likely reason is probably the safety and security of the city.

Therefore, Xu Qilin can only think about it now, plan it, and find the right time to turn it into reality.

Back in the mansion, Xu Qilin didn't see Liu Hongye, Wei Chihuan and others, so he knew that Fang Er and Xue Zonggui hadn't made a final decision yet.

Hehe, nine times out of ten, you're making money! Xu Qilin laughed maliciously, poor ghost, you don't need to try your fists and feet, the master scared these two guys away with a price increase.

As soon as he sat down on the sofa in the hall, his family came to report, saying that someone had visited during the day, and when he saw that Xu Qilin was not there, he left an invitation.

Xu Qilin was a little puzzled, opened the invitation card and looked at it, the words on it were very polite, and asked him to go to the drunken supper building at night to talk about it, and the payment was Yu Wenshang.

Yu Wenshang? Xu Qilin thought about it for a long time, but he didn't search for this person from his memory. Since you don't know each other, what do you visit for no reason, and invite me to the restaurant?

Dangling the invitation card in his hand, Xu Qilin thought about it carefully and realized that this Yuwenshang might have investigated himself. Inviting him to Zuixiaolou must have meant to reassure him, but he probably knew his relationship with Zuixiaolou.

After thinking about it, Xu Qilin still decided to meet this Yu Wenshang. In Jing'anfang, and in the drunken night building, it doesn't hurt to bring a few more people.

Call Wu Siong and ask him to summon three sturdy nurses. Xu Qilin rested for a while, saw that the hour was almost up, and took someone out of the house to rush to the drunken supper.

When he came to the drunken night building, Xu Qilin did not go directly to the private room, but called the guys to inquire about the guests in the private room.

From the man's mouth, he learned that there were three people in the private room, but they were strangers and not regular customers.

Xu Qilin didn't ask any more questions, and asked Wu Xiang to go in with him, while the others were waiting outside, so he asked the guy to knock on the door of the private room.

"It turns out that the guest we invited has arrived, please come in."

With the voice, Xu Qilin stepped into the private room, glanced at it, and arched his hand: "Xu Qilin is polite, dare to ask a few brothers?" ”

Seeing these three people, Xu Qilin felt bad. They were all in their twenties, and two of them were greased and whitewashed, but they were men.

"Xu Xiaolang, polite."

"Courteous, courteous."

The three of them got up and finished the salute with Xu Qilang, and a young man who was dressed normally took the initiative to speak and introduced himself: "In Xia Yu Wenshang, this is Cui Zheng and this is Wei Zongzhang. ”

"It turned out to be Brother Yuwen, Brother Cui, and Brother Wei, I don't know if you want to talk about it here?" Xu Qilin greeted them again, and after sitting down, he asked.

Yu Wenshang said with a smile: "Brother Xu doesn't have to worry, wait for the dishes, let's talk while drinking." ”

Cui Zheng and Wei Zongzhang nodded yes, looked at Xu Qilin carefully, glanced at each other, and Cui Zheng said: "Brother Xu looks familiar, but I can't think of where I have seen it?" ”

Xu Qilin also felt as if he had seen these two guys, frowned slightly and thought carefully about the similar images, and suddenly remembered.

That's right, isn't it the sissy I met on Cuihua Mountain, the one who spends money to eat mutton skewers?

Secretly rolled his eyes, Xu Qilin pretended not to know, selling mutton skewers, it was very cool at the time, it was really a bit cheap to say it.

"Brother Yuwen, if there is anything, you might as well say it now." Xu Qilin hurriedly interrupted and said with a smile: "This is the problem, if you don't know it, this dish won't taste good, and the wine won't be good." ”

Yuwen Shang laughed, it seemed hearty, but it made Xu Qilin feel contrived.

exchanged glances with Cui Zheng and Wei Zongzhang, Yu Wenshang poured Xu Qilin a full wine glass, raised Yao Jing, took a big sip, and saw that Xu Qilin also returned the salute, so he said slowly: "Since Brother Xu is anxious, let's talk about this matter of making a fortune first." ”

After a pause, Yu Wenshang continued: "As soon as the 'Mantianxiang' fragrance dew made by Brother Xu came out, not to mention the sensation in Chang'an, it was also priceless, and it was not easy to buy it with money. ”

Xu Qilin did not deny it or admit it, with a faint smile on his face, but he was vigilant in his heart. Sure enough, this profiteering fragrance was still targeted.

Yu Wenshang continued: "Brother Xu has thought about it, if the output of this fragrance increases several times, it will not be able to meet the needs of the whole country. It is a pity that it is only limited to sales in Chang'an. ”

Lao Tzu knows much better than you that not only the domestic market, but also the overseas market is more profitable and the demand is greater.
