Chapter 14: Quill

"It's not a way to go on like this, the brush is not suitable for the map, if you can get a pencil, it's okay......." Just when Li Chengzong was tired and frantically complaining that the brush was not suitable, his little secretary Liu Tao'er walked in, "Ah Wei, come on, try it, this is the crispy goose I made with goose meat, you can taste it....."

Liu Taoer pushed a plate of crispy goose in front of Li Chengzong, and Li Chengzong took a look. The crispy goose made by this girl is really very stylish, the end is red and bright, it looks like that, he put down the brush in his hand, and then cut off a piece of goose meat with the knife handed by Liu Tao'er, and stuffed it into his mouth, a spicy taste different from the chili pepper is straight to the mouth and nose, "I'm dizzy, Sister Tao'er, are you crazy?" How many dogwoods did you put in it? ”

Li Chengzong's dogwood is what later generations said, well, chili peppers, according to normal history, you have to wait until the Ming Dynasty to pass on to China, at this time to get spicy can only use the dogwood known as olive wormwood, well, Li Chengzong's least favorite is a dogwood, the taste is spicy, but it is weird, there is no spicy taste of chili pepper at all.

"What? I just put a little bit of dogwood, huh? I tasted it, it's okay, Ah Wei, I'm a selected goose, carefully marinated, goose feathers or something, I'm pulling it all out, you see, where are there traces of goose feathers......." Liu Tao'er stared at Lang Jun who looked at her with wonderful eyes, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, as Li Chengzong's personal maid and future daughter-in-law, this girl knows Li Chengzong's most hated dogwood, but to make this crispy goose, you really can't do without this dogwood, her good Langjun, everything is good, I just can't stand the strange smell of this dogwood.

"Little goose, goose, goose feathers...... That's right, haha, I know how to solve the problem of the pen......." When Liu Tao'er said goose feathers, Li Chengzong suddenly became excited, he chewed a few mouthfuls of goose meat, and then made fun of Liu Tao'er, "Hehehe, Sister Tao'er, you really deserve to be the woman that my Li Wei Li Chengzong fancied, you are really a wangfu....... hahahaha, I have found a way to solve the problem......"

After listening to Li Chengzong's words, although Liu Taoer was confused, she was still very happy when she heard her lover's praise, she Liu Taoer was born for him in this life, he is her sky, her backer, and her everything, "Ah Wei." What the hell did you find, so happy........"

"Hahaha, what did I find, hehehe, Sister Tao'er, you'll know in a while......." Li Chengzong didn't say it directly, which only aroused Liu Tao'er's curiosity even more, and she followed Li Chengzong to the place where a few geese were with a stomach full of questions.

I saw that Li Chengzong asked people to slaughter a fat goose directly, and the guards who received the order raised their knives and fell, resulting in the life of the goose, just as they were about to remove the goose's hair, Li Chengzong stopped them, "Slow, slow, Sutong, Wang Gang, you wait a minute......

The guards named Su Tong and Wang Gang naturally stopped, and the two of them looked at Li Chengzong in confusion, a little puzzled why Li Chengzong stopped them, didn't Li Chengzong want to eat goose meat?

Li Chengzong ignored the puzzlement of the two guards, he stepped forward by himself, pinched the left wing of the goose, and plucked the five longest goose feathers on the outside of the left wing, "Hahaha, it's you, it's you......" Li Chengzong pinched the five long feathers and was very happy, and after being happy, he realized that the people around him were staring at him, he was a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned enough, so he said with a smile, "Su Tong, Wang Gang, you continue to kill the goose, well, clean it up, pick it up and give it to the brothers.....

"Second master, this goose, you don't eat it yourself??" Su Tong was very puzzled after hearing this, you let us kill the goose, why don't you eat it yourself? The reason why he is called Li Chengzong's second master is because Li Chengzong and Su Lie are sworn brothers, Su Lie is their uncle, and Li Chengzong can only be the second master.

"Hehehe, I've already eaten goose meat, this time I'm not here to eat goose, my real target is ..... them" Li Chengzong shook the five feathers in his hand as he spoke, and said with a smile.

Li Chengzong's pretentious appearance made everyone even more confused, but Su Tong and Wang Gang were honest and straightforward, they didn't think much about it, and after thanking Li Chengzong, the two of them happily took the goose meat and left.

"I said, brother, what are you doing? With a few goose feathers, what are you stupid about? I don't know when, Su Lie came to the courtyard, and saw that Li Chengzong didn't eat goose meat, but just held a few goose feathers and was stupid there, and he suspected that his brother had a brain in the water.

"Hehehe, it's big brother, you're here?" Hearing Su Lie's voice, Li Chengzong reacted, "Big brother, don't be impatient, you will know what I'm doing in a while......."

Li Chengzong's words also made Su Lie's curiosity suddenly overcome, and he, like Liu Tao'er, stayed aside, wanting to see what Li Chengzong was messing with.

I saw Li Chengzong put five goose feathers directly on a steamer to steam, after drying, Li Chengzong found a pot of sand, there was a small note in the sand, and then he heated the sand, and waited until the sand was roasted with some roasted hands, and the paper was not yet burning, Li Chengzong stopped heating, he quickly inserted the five goose feathers into the fine sand, a moment later, Li Chengzong took out the goose feathers, he found Liu Tao'er to do the scissors of the female worker, and put the scissors on the goose feathers.

Liu Tao'er and Su Lie were a little surprised when they saw that Li Chengzong actually picked up the scissors, especially Su Lie, "Second brother, is it possible that your kid wants to use these goose feathers to make clothes?" "Yes, Ah Wei, these scissors are only used by our women as female workers, you ......"

"Hahaha, big brother, Sister Tao'er, what I want to make is not goose feather clothes, I want to use them to make pens, well, I want to use them to write!!" Li Chengzong laughed and said, he said, the work in his hands did not fall, he cleanly cut all five goose feathers at a 45-degree angle to cut a small section of the goose feather tube, and then used a knife to carve the tip of the tube, and finally carved a small hole in the tip of the tube......

"Ah Wei (second brother), this is what you said about a quill pen, this thing can write? You're not kidding, are you? Seeing Li Chengzong's quill, Liu Taoer and Su Lie asked in unison.

"Hehehe, this is what I mean by quill......" Li Chengzong said while dipping in ink, while writing a few hard pen words on the paper, hahaha finally found a little bit of the feeling of fountain pen words, well, the quill is really worthy of the ancestor of the fountain pen.

Liu Tao'er and Su Lie were dumbfounded when they looked at the few lines of hard pen words written by Li Chengzong with different styles, especially Su Lie, "Second brother, you are too good, my Sanqing Daozun, your pen is almost about to keep up with Meng Tian......."

There is a reason why Su Lie said this, Meng Tian is a famous general of Great Qin, he invented the brush, and Li Chengzong is not far behind, he is both military and political, and he also made something like a quill pen.....

As for Liu Tao'er, looking at Li Chengzong, she was even more fascinated, this is her Liu Tao'er's man, too handsome and talented, "Ah Wei, why did you only choose the goose feather on the left wing......"

After Liu Tao'er asked, Su Lie also nodded, "Yes, second brother, this goose feather wing is the largest and longest on the outside, we can understand it, but why do you only need the left wing?" ”

Li Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he found two feathers on the left wing and the right wing respectively, and put them together, "Look, is there any difference between them?" We usually use our right hand to write, why do I use the goose feathers of the left wing, you know? ”

"Then, second brother, is it only goose feathers that can make a pen?" The future Su Ming turned into a curious baby at this moment, and he asked questions one after another.

"Of course, it's not only goose feathers, as far as I know, any crow, eagle, owl, etc. feathers can be used, and the reason why goose feathers are used is not because goose feathers are easy to find......." Li Chengzong actually has something else to say, that is, this quill tube is flexible and elastic, not easy to break, and the stylus is silky, will not damage the paper, and the most important thing is that the gap between the tip of the quill pen can be opened under the force, according to the needs of the writer can write thick lines, can also write delicate words, Especially when it comes to cartography, it's perfect for drawing.

Li Chengzong successfully made a quill, Liu Tao'er and Su Lie were not surprised at all, in their opinion, their Lang Jun (second brother) was a genius and a demonic person, which was nothing at all.
