41 Papermaking
When eating the next morning, Yun Niang noticed Abu's gaze, and she turned around on her when she had nothing to do.
Well? Is there anything strange about it? She looked down at herself a little strangely, but found nothing out of the ordinary. couldn't help but give Abu a blaming look: what to see, what to see.
Abu saw that Wu Ye was eating like a little pig, obviously with an excellent appetite and didn't want to disturb him. So he stretched out his thumb, opened and closed his mouth, said something silently, and winked at Yun Niang.
Yun Niang could see from the shape of his mouth that this should be praising himself "It's so beautiful!" Suddenly, my heart was beautiful, and it was a joy for a woman to be a person who pleases herself, and she was praised and praised by her sweetheart.
Yun Niang squinted her crescent-like eyes and looked at Abu and smiled; She then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a large chopstick dish. Abu was overjoyed, smiled cheaply, picked up the bowl, and greeted Yun Niang's chopsticks.
Yun Niang turned her chopsticks around and put the dishes into Wu Ye's bowl, leaving Abu with his hands stretched out and pitifully holding the bowl forward. made Yun Niang giggle and laugh.
It is true that Yun Niang now feels like nature. Everyone who saw her felt their eyes light up and be full of energy. She was dressed in a gray skirt, her hair was cut to shoulder length, tied with a ribbon in a high ponytail, and her face was covered with water.
As the saying goes, "clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving"!
Some time ago, when Abu explained chemical knowledge to Yun Niang, he focused on pointing out that the eyebrow balm, eye balm, rouge, and lipstick used for women's makeup contain a large number of harmful elements. If used for a long time, it can cause serious damage to the body.
Yun Niang accepted Abu's suggestion, from the beginning of the lip painting, to a little application of vermilion powder, until now the plain face to the sky, occasionally apply some Abu's skin care cream.
What she didn't realize was that she had already become a vane of decoration among young girls, which drove a large number of young girls to seek after. Now many female students are also learning from Yun Niang's appearance and directly tying up a ponytail to finish the job.
What's more, this kind of non-deliberate makeup directly saves a lot of time, and A-Niang no longer has to worry about them being late for school.
She saw that Wu Ye was struggling to pick up vegetables, so she pushed the plate to Wu Ye's side: "Don't worry, eat slowly." ”
After a while, seeing that Wu Ye had almost finished eating, she asked Abu: "Recently, many gentlemen are preparing for the final exam, and I have also discussed with Brother Li, how to take the exam of our singing and dancing music?" ”
Abu couldn't help laughing: "You are gentlemen, you are God, why are you still worried about how to take the exam?" You can take the test however you want, it's not up to you to decide! Alas, the right will not be used, what a waste! ”
"If you're serious, give me an idea first." Yun Niang said angrily.
"Oh, you can take the theory test, you can take the practice test, you can take the both. Let's not talk about theories, just come up with a few sets of test papers and let them answer them.
If you want to take the song and dance exam, you can find a few more judges; Mr. Find a few, and uncles and aunts can also pull a few to cover different appreciative groups. Let the students wear uniform costumes, cover their faces, and perform the dance one by one, and the judges will score them together. Remove the highest score, remove the lowest score, and then take the average score, and you can rank the ranking.
The rhythm of the test is simpler, let the judges turn their backs, let the students sing or play, and the judges score. Then weight it with the theoretical score, and the score can be evaluated. ”
"Why do you remove the highest score and the lowest score when grading, and don't you average them together?"
"Hey, you're so simple, you have to exclude those close to you from deliberately adding points; It is also necessary to exclude malicious retaliation and deliberate deduction of points. ”
Yun Niang got the idea and happily hated him: "Who has such a sinister mind as you!" I'll go talk to my eldest brother. Let's go, Xiaoye, let's go to school! She was very happy and pulled the bouncing Wu Ye away.
Abu cleaned up the table, dishes and chopsticks, and went out of the door, walking to the place indicated by Lao Yangtou, who looked for him yesterday and asked him to see the results.
This time the distillation of straw straw was not in Lao Yangtou's house, because paper was still needed in the follow-up, and it could not be used in his own home.
This time, the work area is still some distance from the residential area, and after a while, I saw Lao Yang Tou looking at the door, and when he saw Abu coming, he greeted him. As he walked, he briefed Abu about the situation.
It occupies a large area, with a few pots of charcoal lit inside, and the roofs of the four walls are painted white. Nowadays, white-plastered cave painting has become the standard configuration of various residential areas and office locations.
In general, he followed the operation given by Abu step by step, but made some changes when distilling and purifying the alcohol later.
He told Abu that if quicklime is added to the directly extracted liquor* and then distilled, a very high concentration of alcohol can be obtained, but a large amount of quicklime will be consumed.
So he changed to multiple distillations, concentrated the distilled alcohol again and again, and finally put in quicklime, so that the amount of quicklime could be reduced a lot, but the amount of coke consumed was more. However, calcining quicklime also requires a large amount of coke, and the method of multiple distillation is more cost-effective compared with the two phases.
Abu Dazan, he is really a master in the people, and this change of Lao Yang Tou is indeed more beneficial. Coming to a large porcelain urn with a closed mouth, Lao Yang Tou said that this was specially made by Li Baotian, and there was a small exit below, with a wooden stopper tightly plugged, and a closed urn mouth above.
He carefully pulled the pine cork, took some liquid from a bowl, and a strong smell of alcohol came out, and after taking it, he quickly plugged the lid tightly. I found another rag, put it in a bowl, and when I lit it, the light blue flame flickered.
This shows that the concentration of alcohol has reached the standard of combustion, and the purity is at least 95% or more.
Old Yang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, such a strong smell of wine, for an old wine worm, the temptation is fatal.
But he always remembered what Abu had told him, that this alcohol should not be drunk! So he endured it all the time, and this time he asked again: "This...... Can't really drink it? ”
Abu looked at the appearance of Lao Yangtou and said with a smile: "This really can't be drunk, it contains a substance called methanol, which can directly damage people's nerves and blood systems, such as nausea and vomiting, blindness or death in severe cases, so don't try it." ”
Seeing the seriousness of what Abu said, Lao Yang Tou could only dispel the thoughts in his heart, if you don't drink, you won't drink, we can bear it!
However, Abu continued: "Uncle Yang, you can actually learn from this process and improve your process of making rice wine, which can completely make soju with higher purity." ”
Lao Yang's eyes lit up: "Yes, this set of processes can use straw to make wine, and then you can also use grain to make wine, haha, Mr. is so right." ”
Lao Yang rubbed his hands for a moment, eager to experiment immediately.
Abu said: "Actually, I wanted to tell you this method before, but then I held back. Because at present, our grain output is not very large, and the problem of food and clothing has just been solved. If a large amount of grain is used to make shochu, it will cause a lot of waste of food, and in the event of a famine, there may be * annoyance. ”
Lao Yang Tou was stunned in his heart: "Mr. is still thoughtful, this opening really can't be opened." ”
After all, he had just turned around on the death line, and the feeling of hunger was still clear to his bones.
"But this is not a matter of no way, we have to believe in science, rely on science, and when we get the fertilizer out, it is not a problem to yield hundreds of catties or thousands of catties per mu." At that time, we will have an abundance of food to make wine. We can sell it to earn more of the resources we need. Uncle Yang rest assured that this day will not be too far away. ”
Old Yang Tou was excited in his heart, eagerly longing for that day to come, and he said to Abu, "Okay, I'll wait for that day, sir, you come to see our paper." ”
As he spoke, he led Abu to another room, where the temperature rose sharply, and several people were busy.
The walls were flat with wood chips, covered with undried paper, and on a table in the corner lay a thick, dried stack of paper. Abu walked over, picked up a piece of paper and looked at it, and saw that the paper was white, smooth and delicate, and he tore it hard at a corner, and it was full of tension, which showed that the quality of the paper was quite good, and it was not inferior to those papers in later generations. I don't know how much better than the paper I purchased before, and if it is promoted, it will definitely be very marketable.
At the beginning, Abu just wanted Lao Yang to try to make some alcohol; Papermaking is just a side business, I never expected that the quality of the paper he made was so good, and he asked curiously: "The quality of the paper made by Uncle Yang is really rare, have you ever learned this craft before?" ”
A hint of indulgence flashed in Lao Yangtou's eyes: "When I was young, I also wanted to take the road of Shiju, but I had no choice but to go home to farm. Later, he worked as an apprentice in a paper workshop for a while, so he knew the process well. ”
"Uncle Yang is really versatile, Luohong is not a ruthless thing, and turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers. Uncle made such a quality of paper, but also for the benefit of many of our students, and when they have achievements in the future, it is not also your credit! ”
"Mr. is talented, the export is a chapter, I just got the guidance of Mr., how dare I take credit."
"Hehe, uncle doesn't have to be humble. I don't know if I have any experience in using cotton to make paper. ”
"Cotton? Not really. How, sir, is this paper of bad quality? ”
"No, the quality of this paper is good enough. But if we could make paper out of cotton, we would have a much more important use. ”
"What are you going to do with it?"
"Printing money, printing money."
Old Yang Tou was directly dumbfounded on the spot.
