Chapter 21: The Advent of Paper (3)
may not be able to adapt to the bed in the countryside, Dou Jie and Dou Zhong came to see Jin Feng with a black smoke ring, and Jin Feng secretly laughed a few times, and finally Dou Zhong said, "Let the eldest brother make fun of it" Jin Feng is not good at laughing, he can only say, "Just change to a new environment, it is inevitable, but the two virtuous brothers can persist so much, so that the eldest brother admires." He snickered twice more before he stopped. Dou Zhong called Dou Wei and asked him to arrange for someone to go back to Chang'an to pick up the book, in fact, there is also a letter, written by Dou Jie, which will also be sent back to Chang'an for Dou Ying to see. After all, I have to report the safety of my family or something. At this time, Jin Feng stopped Dou Wei, "General Dou, wait a minute, I have something to say to Hou Ye here", "Son, you command", "You ask Hou Ye to find me some craftsmen who can carve characters, and I want good craftsmanship." It is of great use, and please be sure to pass it on to the general. "Okay son, I'll go this time myself." Big brother, there are a lot of people who can carve in the family, who doesn't want to carve a seal, Lei a rockery to carve a stone tablet, I believe it will come soon, no need to be so formal. Dou Wei, just tell the housekeeper, just say that I told you, and the housekeeper knows what to do. "My subordinates understand." Big brother, what are we doing today. Jin Feng thought about it, the paper should be dried for a while and a half will not be good, I really don't know what to do, just say so, and then the old face instantly turned red, "You teach the eldest brother to write" The font of the Han Dynasty is Lishu, Lishu, also known as Han Li, is a solemn font common in Chinese characters, the writing effect is slightly wide and flat, the horizontal drawing is long and the straight drawing is short, it is rectangular shape, pay attention to "silkworm head and goose tail", "wave and three folds". Lishu originated in the Qin Dynasty, sorted out by Cheng Miao, and reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Simplified Chinese can write, but the traditional Chinese official script really can't be written, especially to Jin Feng's life. Dou Jie and Dou Zhong both opened their eyes wide, and their mouths were open enough to swallow the earth. Although I was surprised by Jin Feng's talent, there were still many hermits in the Han Dynasty, but I had never heard of a talented man who couldn't write. "Big brother, it won't be true" "This is true, the bamboo slips are too cumbersome to use, and the family is poor, everything depends on self-learning, and it is so surprising that I can't write." As soon as Jin Feng said this, Dou Jie and Dou Zhong both understood, and their admiration for Jin Feng deepened. Isn't it the way to learn to be sensitive, and not ashamed to ask, "Since the eldest brother said so, let's start." ”
After two days of hard writing time, Jin Feng has been practicing calligraphy after arranging for the craftsman to engrave on the wooden board backwards. On the third day, the first batch of pressed paper was almost gone, the sun was not bad, and it was dry near the stove. Uncle Huaide informed Jin Feng that the first batch of paper was ready and he could try it. Jin Feng instantly became angry. "Two virtuous brothers, let's rest for a while today, don't you want to see what paper is, I'll take you to see it, and then there will be a surprise." Dou Jie Dou Zhong was overjoyed, and he took the lead in killing at a speed of half an hour per light year, and he was finally able to see it after thinking about it for so long. All the craftsmen also gathered around at this time, Jin Feng carefully removed the big stone, uncovered the wooden board, and the eyes of everyone appeared in the eyes of the owner of the paper, white, silky smooth, slightly yellowish. Jin Feng's expression was solemn, his hands trembled slightly, and success or failure was decided here. I carefully opened the paper, yes, this is the paper, it is many times better than the last time I made it alone. There is a future life, Jin Feng is crazy, everyone is a little unbelievable, how these things are made of such white paper, and what is the use of the paper that the owner spent so much money on. Jin Feng said, "Everyone, take it a little, I'll try it." Dou Jie Dou Zhong, you come with me" hurriedly entered the house, "Dou Zhong, you come, write on this paper" "What to write" "You are stupid, you still ask me, write whatever you want, you can write anything" Dou Zhong followed Jin Feng's instructions, picked up the pen and wrote down the poem and book in his belly, he was surprised at first, this is so easy to use, the bamboo slips and silk sheepskin are weak. The first 2 words are still a little skewed, mainly due to excitement, and the more you write later, the smoother it becomes. After writing the seven words, Jin Feng didn't speak, stared straight at the paper, and the ink slowly dried, just for a minute or two. Suddenly grabbed Dou Zhong's clothes and shouted, "I succeeded, I succeeded, I succeeded, Dou Jie, Dou Zhong has understood at this time, this is a monstrous wealth, and I am the first to write on paper, and my name will be left in history." When the two people continued to persuade him, Dou Zhong was dizzy, and Jin Feng came to his senses, "I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed, I'm excited, I'm excited, don't make fun of my brother" Dou Jie and Dou Zhong both bowed deeply, "Thank you, big brother, thank you to the world." "Okay, okay, but don't make a noise beforehand, this batch of paper is considered a success, that is, 50 sheets, we have to experiment first and then find the best way to produce it." Let's go out, everybody wait."
Seeing Jin Feng come out, it was quiet outside, Jin Feng bowed to everyone and said solemnly, "Thank you, thank you, old folks" "You kid is too hypocritical" Brother Niu quipped, everyone also laughed and said anything, but they are still grateful to Jin Feng for giving everyone money. "Brother Da Niu said so, the kid is not hypocritical, although the paper has been successful, but it still needs to be improved. This efficiency is too low, there is too little paper every day, if there is a way to improve, so that the paper becomes more vain, who is the next workshop shopkeeper, and 500 money is rewarded. "Someone at the bottom exclaimed, if 500 yuan is saved, it will be enough for the family to spend for two or three years." It's still the old rule that everyone should not leave tonight, let's celebrate. Because there's a lot more to do next. "Good" "Good" "Killing a pig" Everyone laughed, but they were all very eager, Jin Feng also quipped, "Don't kill a pig" Some people at the bottom were a little disappointed, but Jin Feng then said, "Let's kill two," except for those who watch the fire, everyone will do it together. "No problem" "Good" "Good"
In the lively atmosphere, Dou Jie and Dou Zhong were also very excited, they saw something different, they knew that Jin Feng was Jin Feng's word at first, but they didn't expect him to be even more powerful. Since there is no wine, everyone is also eating and eating meat, they are the children of the family have never seen any scenes, but they have never seen such a scene, put down the stones that are suppressed in their hearts, eat and drink to their heart's content, and do not pay attention to the appearance or appearance, it is a happy.
