Chapter Ninety-Three: Discussing Packaging 2

At this time, someone brought hot tea, Xu Qing took a sip of it, and asked: "Well, the quantity is enough, but what is the quality of the paper produced by Shangluo Paper Mill?" ”

Zhuo Deao also took it up and tasted it, but Jiang Yingqing didn't dare to drink tea, he hurriedly said: "Back to Uncle Xu, I just brought more than a dozen pieces of paper today, but please take a look at Uncle Xu......"

Xu Qing put down the tea bowl and nodded, "Yes, go get it." ”

Jiang Yingqing went out to get the paper, Zhuo Deao asked with a careful smile: "Uncle, what kind of tea is this, it's weird and delicious, hehe......"

Xu Qing also smiled and asked, "What, do you want it?" ”

Zhuo Deao smiled solemnly and said: "No, no, such delicious tea must be very rare and expensive, and the villain is fortunate enough to drink it once." ”

Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "This tea is nothing valuable, if you want it, I will give you a few catties another day." But I have something to ask you, do you know this medicinal jade? ”

Zhuo Deao nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, I know, I don't know how much the master needs?" ”

Xu Qing wondered in his heart, isn't this medicine jade a treasure that can be encountered, this is glass, there shouldn't be much in ancient times, how to listen to Zhuo Deao's tone, this glass seems to be a lot, so much so that you have to get as much as you want.

So, Xu Qing sighed and said, "The medicine stone I want is not ordinary, it needs to be the best, without a single flaw......

Zhuo Deao laughed: "Uncle, although there are not many of these things, it is easy to get them." ”

"How?"

"This medicine stone is just used to make Ming Wa, in order to make the interior appear brighter, but because the demand for Ming Wa is not much, a large family only needs a few dozen pieces to make Ming Wa, so there are not many production areas. But there are always some people who need it, such as the palace, the government, that need Mingwa, the Mingwa I know is a good one in Huguang."

Xu Qing scolded secretly, didn't I have been deceived, but after thinking about it, the businessman may have been deceived himself.

It doesn't matter if he is deceived or not, Xu Qing can't help but be happy when he learns that there is a medicinal stone, that is, the origin of glass. All he wants is to polish a convex mirror with a medicinal stone, and then make a telescope.

But he only had eight pieces in his hand before, and once he grinded it, he didn't have much chance of failure, but now that he learned that there were a large number of medicinal stones, he was not in a hurry. As long as there are medicinal stones, it doesn't hurt that the price is a little higher.

Seeing Xu Qing's happy face, Zhuo Deao immediately said: "Uncle Xu, this Mingwa has some reserves in the material stores in the major counties, and Luonan County has it, and I still know the place of that house." ”

When Xu Qing heard this, he immediately called Old Man Ni Bai and asked him to buy all the Ming Wa in Luonan County according to the location provided by Zhuo Deao.

Old man Ni Bai took the order, and Jiang Yingqing also came back with paper, there are two kinds of paper, one is yellow and the other is white. Yellow paper has many uses and miscellaneous, and the people can use it as paper money for memorials, and can also be used to package bacon and preserved fruits, and it is also the paper used by poor children to study. White paper is rice paper, which is expensive and useful, and only rich children use it to read and write.

Xu Qing took a piece of yellow paper and rubbed it carefully, and a familiar feeling came to Xu Qing's mind - toilet paper! That's what the primary color of toilet paper feels like, but the yellow paper is slightly thicker.

After Xu Qing came to Tang, he used to wipe his buttocks, bamboo chips (toilet chips), tiles, and sometimes dried and baked leaves. At the beginning, life was embarrassed, the problem of the mouth had not been solved, and the problem of the butt could only lag behind, and then later, I gradually got used to the Tang Dynasty's method of wiping dirt, and now I suddenly remembered it when I touched the yellow paper.

In fact, toilet paper also appeared in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and large households used rice paper and cheap silk. But Xu Qing didn't meet it, so when he saw this yellow paper comparable to toilet paper, he was immediately happy.

"Hahaha......" Xu Qing said with a smile: "Jiang Yingqing, can this paper still be a little thinner?" ”

Jiang Yingqing smiled and said: "Uncle, this paper can be thin, but if it is thin, it is useless, and it can't be sold......"

Xu Qing hurriedly shook his head, he didn't bother to explain to Jiang Yingqing, pointed to the yellow paper and said: "This paper, hear it clearly, make it thinner, like this paper, fold it into three pieces and roll it up carefully." Luonan County Bofu, a year * 1,000 catties! ”

As for why it was folded into three and stacked together, Xu Qing didn't know, anyway, the rolling paper in later generations did this. In the final analysis, Shangluo Paper Factory belongs to Xu Qing, what paper does he want, and what power does Jiang Yingqing have to oppose it, he honestly agreed.

At this time, Zhuo Deao said: "Master, no matter how thin this yellow paper is, I'm afraid it can't be written, and it can't wrap things......

Xu Qing shook his head and said: "What I wanted just now is not for packaging, oh, by the way, I want one, this yellow paper is three times thicker, according to this length and width, do it again." Well, after the beginning of spring, send it to Bofu in Luonan County. ”

"......," Jiang Yingqing agreed. This thickened yellow paper can be used as a packaging for low-end products. The so-called low-end products, that is, those that ordinary people can afford, except that the packaging is not so good-looking, are actually the same as others.

This kind of thickened yellow paper, only printed with a simple pattern, written on a small poem to persuade filial piety and kindness, and then the production date, shelf life. In order to avoid people not understanding the shelf life, Xu Qing should be called the eating time.

In addition, the toughness of that kind of rice paper is a little insufficient, and Xu Qing's method is still thickened. He remembered the kraft paper of later generations, so he asked Jiang Yingqing to add some softwood pulp to the pulp, and then add a little green gong and lime. In this way, the toughness of rice paper will be greatly improved, and the packaging sugar is just right. This category can be made into high-end products, printed with Meilan, pine, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and then written with a few words such as "Xu Ji Junzi Cake".

Take it a step further and make this into a gift box and close the box you used before. However, with a little bit of cost, the price can be increased several times, and it is not a loss.

Discuss with Zhuo Deao Jiang Yingqing how to some specific problems, Xu Qing officially awarded the two people the head of the new packaging, and the specific details will be implemented by the two people, Xu Qing is just waiting for the spring of next year to ask them for results.

Then, they were asked to meet the gentleman of the school, and five hundred taels of silver were allocated as a budget.

Everything was settled, and when Xu Qing thought he could rest, Old Man Ni Bai came to see the report again, saying that the good blacksmith and carver that Xu Qing wanted a few days ago had already come, and asked the master to meet him. What the carver has to do has to wait for the master of the school to draw it, and the blacksmith has to do it in a low-key manner.

It was also lazy, Xu Qing only waved his hand and said, "You arrange food and lodging for them, and at least keep them here for a month......
