Chapter 142 Movable type is successful, will papermaking be far away?

Before leaving, Chen Rui also pointed to the straw on the edge of the field and conveyed the meaning of the steward of the Huangzhuang, who was ordered to leave the straw, which was regarded as a congratulatory gift to congratulate himself on taking over the fiefdom. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Jin Yu stood up and looked at the straw in that place, and hated to scold his mother, you said that Li Er would send it, it was okay to pile it up, it was a mess, and he had to send someone to clean it up by himself, it was really worthless as labor? Not kind

However, they were sent by order, and Jin Yu didn't refuse, so he accepted it. Speaking of straw, it's a good thing. In the past, when the countryside was poor, they couldn't afford to buy cotton, and they didn't even have time to pick up firewood, because they couldn't walk when they were hungry, and it was better to dig some wild vegetables or ask for food when they had the leisure time to chop firewood, so they suffered in winter, and the common people's soil method was to put straw under their bodies, which was both warm and warm, and it was very easy to use; Later, when you can eat enough, this thing is used to boil water for cooking, and it can also be used as a roof to build an earthen embryo house, which is good for rain and warmth, and the price is low, and there is basically no need for huā money; Later, they were all replaced with tiled houses, and you can also weave a straw hat or something, and there are not a few people who generate taxes for exports. Since Jin Yu remembers, the neighbors behind the old house have used straw to make straw paper, and they have not stopped working until Jin Yu graduated from university. Jin Yu often went to observe when he was xiǎo, and then went home with a smell, he didn't feel anything when he was xiǎo, after graduating from college, he was also squeamish, he didn't dare to open the window all year round, the smell was too big, Jin Yu bought an air conditioner in desperation, and the living environment improved. Thinking of the air conditioner, Jin Yu began to miss his previous life, how good it would be to have an air conditioner this year, no matter how difficult it is, he has to make a generator, which is nothing more than two magnets and some coils, he was in junior high school, because he failed the exam, he was forced by the teacher to review his English six times, and he couldn't forget the damn generator

Jin Yu is reminiscing about the past here, Chen Rui came running again, his face was full of magpie, he couldn't breathe, and he didn't forget to give Jin Yu the good news: "Less", "Young Master", "That word", "Made", "Made" and "made"

"What word?" Jin Yu made Chen Rui confused, and asked thoughtlessly.

"The ones you commanded" to be engraved or engraved were you?" Chen Rui saw Jin Yu like this, panting and reminded.

Jin Yu suddenly remembered, it's been almost two months, Chen Rui didn't say it, he almost forgot, isn't this word the "movable type" that he wanted to be lazy and let people do at the beginning? Jin Yu stood up and asked movingly, "Where is it?" Take me to see it."

Chen Rui pulled his two bellows and ran away, taking Jin Yu to the workshop, Jin Yu couldn't help but worry about Chen Rui, I hadn't seen this uncle like this before? Could it be that the newlywed is uncomfortable? It seems that he is going to give him some tiger bone wine to make up for it, if Chen Rui falls ill, who will take care of these messy things in the house for himself? Anyway, I can't do this heart, it's too draining

The so-called workshop is a shack in front of the kiln, and several piles of mud are placed outside, which appear to be waste from different recipes of moso.

"Young master, the old slave" "The old slave has come out" An old man with a scruffy beard and sunken eye sockets saluted towards Jin Yu, and his demeanor moved.

Seeing that people are so conscientious, Jin Yu is embarrassed to blame him for not having a sense of confidentiality, forget it, the matter of confidentiality will be strengthened in the future. Jin Yu hurriedly picked up the old man and asked Yan Yue sè, "It's made?" Take it out and take a look. ”

The old man turned around and picked up a rectangle of the No. 7 battery from the table behind him and handed it to Jin Yu. Then he pointed to a black rag on the table and explained, "Young master, you have to press this twice on it first, dip it in ink and print it." ”

Jin Yu tried, the effect is good, the mud print is very good, the printed "Jin" word is clearly visible, that is, the font is missing the style of the later Song style, forget it, it is good to be able to mo to find out the recipe of the soil used to fire movable type. Jin Yu glanced at the tools on the desk and almost understood how this old man made it. The tools are very simple, a smooth wooden board with a square frame, a few partitions in the shape of the teeth of the Great Wall, a xiǎo wooden board about the size of a movable type, a wooden hammer, a xiǎo carving knife, a clay scraper, and a bottle of oil to live. First, brush the oil onto the wooden board to ensure that the friction of the mud block is used to prevent the mud from going out of shape, and then fix the partition into the box, which becomes a square mold with a large xiǎo and the same length, and then use the xiǎo wooden board to fill the good mud into the xiǎo square, smash it with a wooden hammer, and then use the scraper to wipe off the extra mud above the square, and then use a little drying to engrave the words with a carving knife, and then enter the earth kiln to burn and set, and finally produce the movable type to ensure that the general large xiǎo, When using, as long as the plate is arranged and a wooden cover is added to ensure that the force is even, the ink is applied, the paper is applied, and then the words will be printed with a smooth wooden board lightly, and even the rosin between the fixed movable type and the movable type is saved.

Admire Jin Yu can no longer find the right words except for these two words, no wonder the great man said that the wisdom of the working people is infinite. Jin Yu was very satisfied, nodded and asked, "Old man's surname?" ”

"The old slave's surname is Bi." How had this old man ever seen such an approachable master's house? For a while, Ji Dong even forgot the humble title, and only realized it when he said it, so he quickly remedied: "The surname is Bi, the surname is Bi, but I don't dare to call your surname." ”

"Uncle Bi, from now on, you are the worship of the Jin family Zhuangzi" Jin Yu ignored the old man Bi who was in a daze because he was too surprised, and turned his head to Chen Rui and ordered: "If there are any difficulties in Bi Feng's family, you must help solve them, so that Bi Fengfeng can make mud seals with peace of mind." ”

Seeing that Chen Rui gave up, Jin Yu said to Bi Laohan and asked warmly: "Has Uncle Bi's family been arranged?" Do you want to vacate another house for you? ”

Bi Laohan came back to his senses when he heard Jin Yu ask himself, and he couldn't move more, and knelt down for Jin Yu with a "poof", and Jin Yu was shocked and quickly helped the old man up.

Bi Laohan stood up still trembling, the tears in his eyes came down, he opened his mouth several times, and then choked up and said: "Young master, the old slave" "The old slave can't be repaid in this life", "The next life" and "the next life" must be made up." ”

Jin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, just now he was worried that this old man was old and couldn't stand such a big surprise, if he was happy and sad, he would be miserable, fortunately, people have strong heart ability, and people who look fifty years old have a forty-year-old heart. If you change it to a bold affirmation, you will say: nonsense, the old man is only thirty-nine years old

Jin Yu chatted with the old man for a while, and only then did he know that the ancestral engraving skills of the old man Bi, and then the family road was broken and went to the porcelain kiln to carry the work, it seems that it is not accidental that people can succeed, at least these two related crafts are accounted for.

"Bi offering, can this word be more xiǎo?" Jin Yu played with the first sample of movable type, and it still felt a little big.

"xiǎo is still more xiǎo, but xiǎo can only be printed on rice paper, bamboo paper is too powerful, the word xiǎo is printed out is a black egg, and it can't be recognized at all." Bi Laohan's mood was much calmer, and he gave Jinyu a professional answer.

"Well, that's that big." Jin Yu doesn't understand this, it is already a big surprise for him to save himself trouble, so don't have a bigger surprise, but this confidential matter still needs to be emphasized, "Bi Feng, the recipe of this movable type clay can't be easily shown, and people can't be let in the workshop." ”

"Young master, don't worry, this formula will be given to you when the old slave turns around, you say that whoever the old slave passes it on, the old slave will pass it on, you don't speak, the old slave doesn't even pass on his son, if someone wants to come in and steal the school, the old slave will not let him succeed even if he fights hard" Bi Laohan is a person who has experienced the war, and the reason for the fall of the family is largely because of the run on his peers. He can be regarded as seeing through it, holding a big tui, at least he can make the old Xiǎo family worry about food and clothing, if he shouts out this recipe, he guarantees that he will not live for three days

Jin Yu was very satisfied with Bi Laohan's attitude, and reluctantly said a few words before going back. Let the old man have a good rest, so that he can have more jing power to engrave for himself, isn't it? I'll take the math symbols or something tomorrow, Jin Yu doesn't want to write back the exercises after school starts, it's too tiring

If you want to talk about this history, you must have the credit of lazy people and people who are greedy for enjoyment, such as Jin Yu. He wanted to light a fire to save trouble, so he had a fire sickle; He wanted to cut firewood and save effort, so he had Sugang; It's lazy, right? He wanted to keep it clean, so he had féi soap; He wanted to ride comfortably, so he had an improved saddle and a horseshoe; He wanted to be comfortable on his feet, so his shoes were divided between left and right; Isn't that a pleasure? Therefore, history is not only determined by the big people, but also by these lazy people. (Check the history, every time the productivity progress in history is inseparable from the lazy figure, because if you want to have more time to be lazy and have more time to enjoy, you must have more advanced productivity to ensure and promote each other.) ）

Jin Yu was in a good mood, humming lightly the "Casablanca" version of "A Good Beautiful" walking on the xiǎo road in the countryside, although he failed to solve the work problem for Uncle Zhang, but at least he made movable type printing, which is worth being happy about. Xuan paper is too expensive, so it is better to print it on bamboo paper, so you don't need to use too good paper for those students, and they don't pay for their books. I wonder if they will give themselves a bunch of bamboo paper scraps when they do their homework the next day? Is it difficult to let yourself play jigsaw puzzles again? It's very tangled, even if the current bamboo paper has the flexibility of the grass paper of later generations

Bamboo paper? Papyrus? Straw? Uncle Zhang? Jin Yu was instantly struck by inspiration, what are you doing with so many straws? What a pity it burned down? Papermaking Ma Jinyu is now a little grateful to his neighbor in his previous life, because the old man made him so impressed by papermaking, just like the teacher who taught him a generator, deep in the bone marrow and can't forget. Seeing that Chen Rui was so weak, let Hu Yue handle this matter

In half a day, Jin Yu sorted things out, and he couldn't be more in a good mood, and the tone gradually changed to the "Red Face" version of "Hotel California".
