What is a toilet chip?

It may not be known to modern people, but it is one of the essential things in the lives of ancient people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, it was used to wipe the butt in ancient times, and it is said that the ancient ones used to wipe the buttocks were not straw paper like modern times, but toilet chips made of bamboo or wood.

Although the toilet chip is inconspicuous, it runs through the history of China for thousands of years, and even after the liberation, people still use it.

It's just a one-time one, and it's not as delicate as the ones used before.

Ancient people had a dedication to protecting their valley roads beyond modern people, especially high-ranking officials and nobles, and even jade toilet chips.

It is very simple to make toilet chips, it is best to use thick hemp bamboo as the material, carefully scrape off the edges and corners, and remove the layer of green on the surface of the bamboo slices, because this is too smooth to play a role in friction.

Finally, it is polished in water with fine sand and then dried in the shade, which is a good toilet chip that is delicate and will not be deformed, and a good toilet chip can be reused for a long time.

It is worth mentioning here that this situation is unimaginable in modern times, but in ancient times it was normal for a toilet chip to be reused many times, provided that you washed it and the toilet chip was still in good condition!

In ancient times, it was a sign of filial piety for a son to make toilet chips for Lao Tzu, and a father to make toilet chips for his children was also a manifestation of love.

Of course, these are only the solid people who have a strong sense of protection of their own bodies will have this kind of phenomenon, and the poor people will not have so much trouble.

In the wild, they just grab a handful of grass and leaves, and at home they are a stick, even in some modern remote mountainous areas.

Of course, if you go to India and see the third brother grabbing with his hands, then he must not be able to eat there, because they also eat with their hands, and there are many places, but now it is good, and there are many places where they like to use spoons.

And now Pu Bai is facing the situation that there is no toilet chip around him, let alone a small wooden stick, and there are no leaves and grass, do you really have to start to catch it?

So even if it was embarrassing, he had to call the two male nurses in, because even if he did, he couldn't find a place to wash his hands, and there was no basin here.

"What's the matter with Xiucaigong?" The two male nurses are both bandits from the Great Song Dynasty, and the people who came from the Great Song Dynasty have a characteristic that they are very polite to scholars.

So after hearing that Pu Bai actually won the Xiucai examination in the Great Song Dynasty, he took the honorific title of Xiucai Gong between his words.

"Uh......" Pu Bai was still a little speechless, but he had to speak: "This...... This one...... I wonder if the two brothers have extra toilet chips? If so, the younger brother is willing to pay for two to use, but the younger brother did not have his toilet chips with him. ”

"Oh! So that's what happened! The two male nurses suddenly realized, and then couldn't help blaming themselves: "It's all our fault, I forgot that Xiucai Gong came to our Peace Valley for the first time, forgive me, forgive me!" ”

Another nurse suddenly reached out and grabbed a box on a wooden shelf on Pu Bai's right hand, which was a box without a lid, the size of a palm, and a long strip.

It was filled with palm-sized pieces of paper that looked a little rough, and these papers had just been seen by Pu Bai, but he didn't think about it, how could someone so desecrate the paper of one of the four treasures of the study, although this kind of paper doesn't look very good.

But what Pu Bai didn't expect was that the nurse actually took out a few pieces of paper from here and said to him: "Xiucaigong, we no longer have toilets in Heping Valley, and now we use this kind of straw paper to relieve our hands in the toilet, which is very easy to use and convenient!" ”

Wipe your butt with paper? Pu Bai was stunned, even if he exhausted his brain power, he couldn't imagine that there were still people in this world who used paper to wipe their butts.

Paper! That's paper!

It's not sticks, it's not bamboo, it's not leaves, it's not grass, it's paper!

In the Great Song Dynasty, there were also some poor scholars who practiced calligraphy with wooden sticks on the sand when they had no money to buy paper to practice calligraphy.

But here, the paper is actually used to wipe the butt? At this moment, he wanted to cry and be angry, he thought of the luxury of the Valley of Peace, but he didn't expect such luxury to be so frustrated.

"How can it be so, how can it be so?" After wiping my butt with paper with difficulty, it felt like it wasn't paper, but a blade.

"What's wrong? How did you come back like this? Seeing Pu Bai who was lying on the bed in despair after coming back from the toilet, Wang Xiaojiu, the little girl, was in a hurry, she now heard Pu Bai say that she had a stomach problem, and she went to find some medicine to treat water and soil inadequacy.

I didn't expect to see Pu Bai like this dead when I came back, so I just asked the two male nurses, and then I got a very special answer.

"What? Can't he accept wiping his ass with straw paper? This is the stinky problem of those nerds from the Great Song Dynasty again! A group of dirt buns who have never seen the world are feeling sorry for those papers! The little girl laughed, this is a plain mockery!

"Shouldn't it be distressing? That's paper! The things that record words, the inheritance of thousands of years of Wenhua, but let you use it to wipe your ass, you are doing evil! ”

Pu Bai finally couldn't help it, and roared, he felt that if he didn't roar, he would be crushed by the guilt in his heart, and he would go crazy.

"Do you know how many people in the Great Song Dynasty want to read, but because there is no paper, they practice calligraphy on the sand table with wooden sticks all year round, do you know that they want to read a book, they can only borrow it, even if they want to copy it, they can't afford to buy paper for copying and regret that they are deterred!

But you guys actually use paper to wipe your farts 0 shares, crazy and crazy waste! ”

"Hahahaha! I remember that the previous one said this was an old master in the Hanlin Courtyard of your Great Song Dynasty, he rushed directly to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and pointed at Brother Jincai in front of Sister Yueji and scolded, which is also what you just said. ”

Then he knelt down in front of the onlookers, begging the people not to wipe their buttocks with paper again, saying that he would collect all these papers and send them to Da Song to practice calligraphy!"

Then the little girl smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you know what my brother said at that time? ”

"It's not allowed, Park has never seen such a shoddy paper in the Great Song Dynasty! Who is the old master? Kneeling down for the sake of paper, such characters are our role models! ”

"Hahahaha! Where will it not be, at that time, my brother Jincai said, there is no free of charge, but if the old master is willing to earn money to buy, he can give the old master the wholesale price! ”

Wang Xiaojiu, a little girl, laughed and said: "At that time, the old master was stunned for a long time before he said, you all used it to wipe your buttocks, it must be abandoned like a piece of shit, the old man took it away, and did his part to continue the millennium of Wenhua, why do you still need money?" ”

"That's right, the old master sent the paper you want to waste to those who can't afford to buy paper, it's to accumulate virtue for you, how dare you ask the old master for money? Where is your conscience? ”

Pu Bai sat on the hospital bed and became angry, if it weren't for the fact that his legs couldn't move, he would have jumped up.

Xiao Jiu looked at him proudly: "At that time, the old master also had students around him, and one of the students also asked the same, but he didn't question us, but Brother Jincai, and asked him where his conscience went!" ”

"Park was not there at that time, if he was, Park would also ask, where is his conscience? Although he saved Park, where the righteousness lies, return his life to him, and the truth must not be stained! ”

Nerds are nerds, although Pu Bai is better than other nerds, but it's not much better, but his temperament is still good.

"At that time, Brother Jincai only asked one sentence, I gave you straw paper for free, what do we use to pay wages to the people in the paper mill?" Xiao Jiu was very satisfied with Jincai's brother's words at that time, especially when he saw that old master choked.

"At that time, the old master was stunned, and then said stupidly, but you use paper to wipe your buttocks, it is a waste, the old man takes the things you should waste to a more useful place, so that things can be used to the best of their ability, how can a gentleman be profitable!"

After he finished speaking, my brother Jincai asked again, there are 200 jobs in the paper mill, and each of them is paid to make the workers' families live well, and they rely on the wages paid by the paper mill!

The wages and money of the paper mills came from the straw paper, the written paper, the rice paper, and the drawing paper, and the profits brought by each of these papers were to feed the workers, and the money to pay taxes to the lord's palace came from these profits.

And now you want to get this straw paper for free, have you ever thought about what the unemployed workers will rely on to eat? Have you ever thought that the herders who collect sand willow in the desert use these things in exchange for rice and flour?

Have you ever thought that it is precisely because of the salix that can make paper that some herders will plant these salix in the desert, just to give their children and grandchildren a piece of land that can make a fortune forever in the future, and also to turn that desert into an oasis?

But if it is given to you for free, the paper mill will not be able to produce benefits, it will not be able to continue, the workers will have no work and no food, and the salix planted by the herdsmen will be planted in vain, and they will not be able to make a fortune, and they will live a poor life again, and I don't know how many people will starve to death and freeze to death on heavy snowy days.

Because there is no one to take care of it, the desert has become barren again, and since then there is no land between heaven and earth that can be lived, can you afford such a result? ”

Speaking of this, the little girl pretended to be serious and asked Pu Bai on the hospital bed: "Can you afford it?" ”

This question shocked Pu Bai's heart and he was speechless.

"In fact, this straw paper is not expensive, it is made of sand willow branches and leaves in the desert, it is very cheap, two pennies and a pound can be used for a month, and the writing paper we have here is also very good, and it is also very cheap, and the caravan is sold to the Great Song Dynasty, Daliao and Dabai Gaoguo, all the thousand-year-old Wenhua things, there is no need to worry!"

This sentence made Pu Bai ashamed again, and he didn't say anything again, especially from Wang Xiaojiu's mouth, knowing that all these things were created after her Jincai brother found out the method from the book of heaven and taught it to the people in the Peace Valley.

Whether it is the practice of glass lamps, or all kinds of glass, or cement, or the method of cement.

There is also the current papermaking, the kind of white porcelain toilet in the toilet, and so on.

All these are the methods that Chen Jincai took out from the Book of Heaven to benefit all the people.

He is now very much looking forward to the start of school and to learning what was in the book that day.

So a few days later, he was taken to a classroom on crutches, which was already full but silent.

Everyone was fascinated by the words on the blackboard behind the classroom lectern.

"Today's first lesson, I'll teach you to become gods!"
