Halfway through, Aunt Li also came with a few children, and she was very grateful to Jiang He, Li Orion did not come over due to inconvenience, Jiang He asked Li Orion about the situation, and was relieved to hear that Li Orion's high fever had subsided, and the wound had not deteriorated. The rest can only be recuperated, and he can't help much.

repeatedly told Aunt Li not to let Li Orion go to the ground for a month, and to protect her legs. The soil can only be removed after a month. asked people to beat more wild boar meat to send to Li Orion, and Aunt Li was grateful again.

After a period of excitement, Jiang He, Xiao Xiaoyu and the others returned home, and along the way, Old Man Xiao was still distressed about the wild boar, babbling something.

The carpenter also followed, in the early years, Old Man Xiao saved his wife's life, and he always owed Old Man Xiao a favor, and when he was eating meat in the village just now, he kept shouting that he wanted to make furniture for Jiang He Xiao Xiaoyu for free.

Jiang He was a little embarrassed, he wanted to build some tables and chairs to sell in the city, but when the carpenter said this, he suddenly didn't know what to do.

Xiao Xiaoyu had already heard Jiang He tell her that she wanted to build some strange things to sell for money, and then buy her new clothes. At this time, he came out to relieve the siege and said: "Uncle Lin, don't talk nonsense, who is going to get married, Brother Jiang invited you to come for something else." ”

The carpenter was a little disappointed and said, "Ah! It's not for marriage, so what's going on? ”

Jiang He gestured a few times at the shape of the table and chairs, but the carpenter was confused and didn't understand what Jiang He said. Jiang He wanted to find some pen and paper and wanted to draw it. I suddenly remembered that there was no paper during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and Cai Lun would not be born for more than 100 years.

Jiang He's eyes lit up, paper! I didn't think of such a simple and profitable idea.

As for the technology of papermaking, it is too simple, and everyone knows that the raw material is bark and bamboo. Jiang He saw in a time-traveling novel how the protagonist not only makes paper, but also makes perfume and soap. These techniques must be written down after the invention of paper, so as not to be forgotten after a long time.

I thought of it, and after drawing a simple 3D stereoscopic image of the table and chair for the woodworker with a wooden stick on the ground, I compared how big it would be. The carpenter was left staring at the 3D image on the ground in a daze. However, the carpenter didn't have much knowledge, but he was amazed by the magic of 3D for a while, and began to see wood.

Ran all the way to the back of the house and found Old Man Xiao who was drying medicinal herbs, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao, you can find me some lime, how about I turn a golden mountain out for you." ”

Old man Xiao was stunned, with a look of disbelief: "Jin Shan? You kid still have the ability to do this? With a little lime, you can turn a stone into gold! Old man Xiao sneered. After yesterday's incident, Old Man Xiao and Jiang He are obviously a lot closer, and they are not as polite as before.

Jiang He smiled: "It's not possible to turn stones into gold, but if you succeed, it's still no problem to make money every day." ”

Looking at Jiang He's confident face, Old Man Xiao's heart moved, could it be that what he said was true. After thinking about it, I thought it was impossible, but I still gave a glimmer of hope.

"Lime has some at home, just in the backyard, and if you can't find it, you can call Xiaoyu." As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked Jiang He to hurry up and play.

The backyard is behind the three thatched houses, and Xiao Xiaoyu's house faces the village and is located at the end of the village, so no one can usually see the situation in the backyard. In the backyard, in addition to the herbs made by Old Man Xiao, there were only some sundries and firewood. The open space is not small, empty, this is a good place to make paper, and the secrecy is good.

After soliciting Xiao Xiaoyu's opinion, Jiang He dug up directly in the open space in the backyard. He was going to dig a pond and put ash water to soak the bark and bamboo. It's okay to make paper without lime water, but you have to soak it until the year of the donkey, and Jiang He can't wait.

Xiao Xiaoyu helped clean up the dirt, while listening to Jiang He excitedly tell her about the things to be made, and after listening to it for a long time, she didn't know what the paper in Jiang He's mouth looked like, just looking at Jiang He's happy appearance, she silently supported.

When Jiang He dug the pond and put the lime water, the woodworker in the front yard also made a chair. Looking at the chair in front of him, the woodworker was amazed, he was not a fool, this thing knew how much it helped people in their daily lives as soon as they looked at it.

Jiang He didn't expect Carpenter Lin to do it so quickly and so well, so he stepped forward and sat on the back chair and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Lin is really a good craft, just looked at the picture once, and it was done so quickly." ”

Carpenter Lin opened his mouth to say something but was embarrassed, Xiao Xiaoyu saw it and hurriedly said, "Uncle Lin, look at how much it costs, just open your mouth." ”

Jiang He was stunned for a moment and nodded again and again, although people said it was free, but people also want to eat.

When Carpenter Lin heard this, he immediately became a little anxious: "Xiao family girl, what do you think of your Uncle Lin as someone, even if it is not for your marriage, your Uncle Lin said that it is free, how can he charge you money again." The carpenter said angrily.

Xiao Xiaoyu was a little puzzled: "Then Uncle Lin just now, just now." Xiao Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed.

Lin Carpenter was a little embarrassed, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Jiang, look, I think this chair is very easy to use, can I also make a few for myself." I promise not to tell anyone about it. ”

Jiang He is stunned, that's all? Looking at the woodworker's expression of embarrassment, as if he had done something wrong.

Jiang He felt that the ancients were too honest and sincere. If modern people have this kind of spirit, how can piracy come from flying all over the sky, and poisoned milk powder is everywhere.

He originally thought that he would hand over the manufacturing technology of tables and chairs to the carpenter in order to repay yesterday's words. I said I was going to take it with me.

hurriedly replied: "What Brother Lin said, how can I care about these little things, Brother Lin likes this table and chair." In the future, you can make your own and sell it for money. ”

The carpenter was stunned, he just wanted to get a set of tables and chairs for his own family, who knew that Jiang He was so generous and gave him all the manufacturing rights, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Xiaoyu didn't feel anything beside her, she didn't know how hot the table and chairs would be in Dahan in the future, and how much money she could make as the first person to eat crabs. The carpenter didn't know how popular the tables and chairs he made would be, but he felt that he had made a lot of money and had to work hard for others, so he began to desperately sawed wood to make tables without saying a word.

Tables and chairs, he didn't want to hide them, any carpenter can imitate them if he observes them carefully, paper is the king of making money.

After throwing the bark and tiny branches sawn off by the woodsman into the lime pond, after thinking that it might not be enough, he went to the small bamboo forest at the door, cut down two bamboos, and put them in. You have to soak it for three days before you can do the next step.

In the next two days, Carpenter Lin made two Eight Immortal Tables and 8 chairs. didn't ask for a penny, but left happily with a happy face. Jiang He was going to leave a set for his own use. The rest of the set was sold in the city after the paper was ready.

I have long heard Xiao Xiaoyu say that Shanyang City, which is more than 10 miles away, is the largest town in the vicinity, and it is very lively. Going to the city to catch the market during the New Year's holidays is Xiao Xiaoyu's happiest time, and Xiao Xiaoyu can't wait to follow Jiang He to see it.

Jiang He fished out the bark and bamboo that had been placed in the lime pond two days ago and began to boil them in a large pot.

At first, Old Man Xiao was not happy, there was just such a pot for eating at home, which you used to cook bark and bamboo, and after hearing the news, Old Man Xiao's nose was crooked.

Under Jiang He's three guarantees, he said that the pot is now boiling copper plates, and you must know how to invest. I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, which will sacrifice an iron pot in exchange for a lot of silver tomorrow. In addition to Xiao Xiaoyu, who was also grinding and soaking beside him, the angry old man Xiao flicked his sleeves and muttered angrily that the female university was not staying, and then ran to buy a pot.

After steaming for a day and waiting for the fibers to soften completely, he took them out and put them in the water to wash off the lime water, and began to chop them with an axe.

When the plant fibers are completely turned into paste, they are poured into a large vat filled with water, stirred evenly with a wooden stick, and then turned into pulp, and a layer is fished up with a sieve to control the water, so that a piece of wet paper is formed.

Looking at the paper in his hand that was still dripping with water, although it was a little yellowish and there were more impurities, Jiang He was still quite satisfied, this was the first time he made paper, the first time he brought something different to the world. Jiang He was satisfied.

Xiao Xiaoyu has never read a book, but he has seen bamboo slips and parchment, so he also understands what this thing called paper means when it appears. suddenly turned into a little fan girl, and little stars rose in her eyes when she looked at Jiang He.

Old man Xiao rushed to the backyard when he heard the news, and saw the dried paper in Jiang He's hand, light and smooth, with a thin layer. The look of shock in his eyes was indescribable. As a man grows old, he naturally understands the meaning of paper. He never thought that it was Jiang He's joke with him, but he didn't expect that he really found a golden mountain.

At this time, I looked at Jiang He, and then looked at the paper, the more I looked at it, the more satisfied I became, and the more I looked at it, the happier I became, and my mouth was a little closed. Suddenly thinking of something, he ran to Jiang He and asked: "Hehe, that, boy, oh no, son-in-law, you see that we are all a family, and others don't know the manufacturing technology of this paper, so don't spread it out." ”

When he saw the tables and chairs, Old Man Xiao knew that the business opportunities here were not simple, but when he heard Xiao Xiaoyu say that Jiang He directly passed on the technology unconditionally to the carpenter, he almost died of anger, this is a loser.

This time, I saw paper that was more valuable than tables and chairs, for fear that this loser would spread the technology again. Old man Xiao was also embarrassed, so he let it go, and first pulled Jiang He into his own people. The son-in-law is called, can you still not listen to the old man? Old man Xiao thought shamelessly.

Jiang He's eyes narrowed with a smile, and his mouth was almost grinning to the root of his ears. Nodding again and again: "No, no one told me, it was just made." ”

Xiao Xiaoyu's face was red and almost dripping blood next to her, and she was also desperate when she met such a tasteless grandfather.

"That's good, that's good. You have to keep it a good secret, and it's up to you whether Xiaoyu can live a good life in the future. Old man Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. smiled and patted Jiang He's shoulder.

"Grandpa." Xiao Xiaoyu blushed and stomped his feet.

Old man Xiao left with a laugh, and winked at Jiang He with a smile before leaving.
