Chapter 106: Go back to "home" and take a look

After entering the house, the old man was naturally polite again, but under Li Muran's strong request, he still let the old man sit in the top position. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a while, someone came forward with two cups of tea, and after taking it, he took a sip, although it was much worse than that Biluochun, but drinking such tea here, it was very different in artistic conception, one was taste, and the other was taste!

"Dare to ask the old man's surname?"

The old man also replied kindly after taking a sip

"Your surname doesn't dare to be, the old man's surname is Shen, and his single name is a blessing word, but he is the steward of this paper mill, and he doesn't know the name of the son?"

Shen Fu, a very real name, Li Muran hurriedly said after hearing this

"Shen Lao, don't be a son, my surname is Li, my name is a nine-character name, if you don't dislike it, call Xiao Li, or Xiao Jiu"

When Shen Fu heard this, Yan Yue's face became a little serious

"Li Gongzi can't say that, you are the bookkeeper of the house, that is a real talent, the old man is just a vulgar person, how can he call the son like this, don't torture the old man"

After speaking, he didn't forget to shake his head again and again, it seemed that he was already a little unhappy, and he wanted to say it again, but when he thought about the atmosphere of this era, he gave up.

Since he couldn't change it, he didn't force it, but said the purpose of his trip

"Shen Lao, I don't know how long you've been in this business, I mean papermaking"

Shen Fu was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Muran to ask such a question, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and replied

"About 30 years"

In the past thirty years, grandma's is nearly half a round older than her own age, and the old man in front of her really deserves so much respect from herself.

"Since Shen Lao has been making paper for more than 30 years, have you ever thought about improving this papermaking method?"

"Improvements?"

"Exactly, the current papermaking process has become mature, and the speed of papermaking is also unusually fast, but Shen Lao Ke has found that this paper is very rough, even if a little ink is lightly dotted on the brush, it can leave an ink flower on the paper."

Shen Fu naturally knows the difference in the texture of the paper, but he has never thought about improving it.

Li Muran saw that his pale eyebrows were about to wrinkle together, and he didn't adjust his appetite, so he said bluntly

"When I was traveling with my father when I was young, I happened to hear that paper made of bamboo was so delicate and smooth that even the portraits of people painted on it were scattered without ink."

Shen Fu glanced at him when he heard this, and there seemed to be some disbelief in his eyes, after all, this papermaking technology has been passed down from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present, and it has always been made of flax bark as raw materials, not only the raw materials are cheap, but with the gradual improvement of the process, the rough paper has become slightly smoother than before, which is already progress, but the Li Gongzi in front of him said that more delicate paper can be made with bamboo, but he is a little unconvinced.

Li Muran didn't blame him when he saw this, after all, this is all something left by the ancestors, even if we want to improve, we have to take our time!

"Shen Lao, this is fifty taels of silver"

Saying that, he took out five big ingots from his arms, to say that the money is still thanks to the support of the young master, he has been rewarded several times to Piaoxiang Building, and when he was in Piaoxiang Building, he also took two gold ingots, although he offended the eldest lady, and his salary for three months was reduced by half, but Qiao Rui let himself take away a hundred taels in his name, but I don't know when Qiao Rui will go to the account room to learn about it one day, will he be furious!

After careful calculation, at this moment he actually has two or three hundred taels of silver in his hands, to say that this family can win the hearts of the people, and the power, and finally the heart of wealth, we can be regarded as having some ability.

Shen Fu looked at the silver in Li Muran's hand, and looked at him inquiringly.

"Elder Shen, don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to do anything bad, it's just that what I told you just now, I still want to trouble you and make a try."

He is also very helpless, after all, he doesn't know anything about papermaking, but when he was studying history, he vaguely remembered that the paper made in ancient times was made of bamboo, which was closest to modern paper.

When Shen Lao heard this, he didn't rush to answer, but fell into silence, and his godly eyes kept moving, as if he was thinking about something.

Half ringing

Shen Fu asked after looking up at him

"Li Gongzi, how sure are you about the bamboo paper?"

Grasp? Almost zero, because he didn't know how far the current papermaking technology had developed, and whether it would support turning bamboo into paper, after all, bamboo is more fibrous than the bark and flax!

But since it was an attempt, he would never say that he didn't know such stupid words, at this time, he listened to Shen Fu's question, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and then there was a faint confidence in his words

"Eighty percent, if Shen Lao personally inspects it, I think there will be a ninety percent probability"

After his words were finished, Shen Fu nodded, and then looked at the silver two in his hand and said

"Li Gongzi, since you are so sure, I, Shen Fu, am not a vulgar person, it's just that these fifty taels are too much, and Gongzi only needs to pay ten taels of raw materials."

That's it! Before Li Muran came, he had been thinking about what kind of blackmail he would encounter here and how to deal with it, but he didn't expect Shen Lao to be so polite, and even think about the silver taels for him.

But I'm not a stingy person, I took out both the silver, where is there any reason to return it, do you really think you're an iron rooster?

"Elder Shen, I'm not happy if you say this, Li Jiu, although you are older than me, I still have to say a few words.

Raw materials have to be bought, which is really consumed, but are the brothers and sisters outside doing things in vain? If Shen Lao, you think that this silver tael is too little, I Li Jiu can still add it, but if I think it is too much, although I am also from Qiaofu, I have to find another house."

He deliberately pretended to be very angry, although this Shen Fu has lived a lot of age, but he is a good man, where is he Li Muran's opponent, just a few words and then he was speechless to take the silver tael, until the latter left, he was still very grateful, these fifty taels are not much, after all, for a son-in-law like Qiao Rui, sleeping with an ordinary kiln sister can get this price, but it is a lot, because there are thousands of people who dedicate their spring to a few taels a month......

Out of the door of the workshop, he looked at it casually and said to Qiao Ba and Yang Jian

"You have stayed in the house for so long, you must not have been home for a long time, I have twenty taels of silver here, ten taels for each of you, buy some things and go home and see."

Li Muran also thought that he hadn't been to heaven and earth for a long time, and he didn't know how Shuang'er was now, the so-called empathy, he was happy in Qiao's Mansion every day, even so, he missed this home outside, and Yang Jian seemed to be the first time he went back after entering the mansion, and the thoughts in his heart were worse than his own.

As for Qiao Ba, maybe he is "used to it".

Qiao Ba has always been a shameless title, and he has always been a giggle, even if he is taught a lesson, he will face it, but this time he looked at Li Muran's hand and was stunned.

"Now I know all the sorrows, and I want to talk about it. I want to say that I will not rest, but I will say that the weather is cool and autumn"
