Chapter 5 Papermaking
Lin Chenya, a technology of papermaking, has seen it on TV and many short video platforms.
She had always had a good memory, so she was ready to try to do it the way she remembered, anyway, she didn't need much paper, so it didn't hurt to sit down.
After the existing bamboo is degreened, it is burned into semi-clinker with lime, and then the pulping can begin.
When the pulping is completed, the bamboo pulp is formed, and the next step is to make paper.
Although it may seem simple to say, it is actually quite difficult to do, especially when making paper.
Because I haven't done this kind of work before, the strength of my hands has never been well controlled, and there will always be some holes when copying.
After many repeated attempts, I reluctantly copied out about a dozen relatively complete sheets of paper.
Lin Junya remembered that when she used to watch it on TV, after the paper was copied, it seemed that the paper would be pasted on a wall similar to a fire wall, and the paper pasted on it would dry after a while.
But now there is no such condition, so I can only wait for nature to do it.
"Sister, those things you dry in the yard are paper?" Lin Wenwen didn't expect that what Lin Luya had been tinkering with recently was actually paper, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Yes, there is a lot of bamboo left over when making fence walls, these thin bamboos are useless, I seem to have heard someone say that bamboo can be used to make paper, I will try it when I have nothing to do. As for whether it will succeed or not, I don't know yet, I have to wait for it to do it. ”
"That's it! Then when you're done, you can give your brother a picture or two to try. ”
"Okay."
Lin Qiya didn't expect Lin Zhuwen to be interested in the kind of paper she made, and when she was done, she would take a few to Lin Luwen, maybe he could really use it, so that the family would have to spend a lot of money.
The weather was good for the past two days, and the paper dried quickly and dried.
Lin Qiya carefully took down the paper, the first few were accidentally broken, and the rest were not bad.
It's just that the color of these papers is not white enough, and it is still more than one grade worse than rice paper, of course, it is no problem for her to use it to draw drawings.
Except for the few broken ones, there were a total of thirteen pieces of paper left, five of which were kept by himself, and the rest were all given to Lin Qiwen.
Lin Wenwen took the paper and looked at it over and over, and his hands were a little trembling with excitement
It was not easy to calm down before I dipped a brush in ink and gently wrote a few words on the paper.
I found that the paper made by this sister is not much different from the jute paper bought outside, and it is good to use it to practice calligraphy.
Originally, he was worried that he would spend a lot of money on paper to practice calligraphy, but now with the paper made by Lin Qiya, it can relieve him a lot of pressure.
Lin Liya didn't expect Lin Liwen to be quite satisfied with the paper she made, originally she didn't want to waste Lin Liwen's paper because she wanted to draw a drawing, but now it seems that the paper she made can not only meet her own needs for paper, but also meet Lin Liwen's needs.
In the following days, Lin Qiya will make a batch of paper for Lin Qiwen to prepare as soon as she is free.
Lin Xuwen's side seems to be more fluent when he picks up books because of the lack of pressure on paper.
There is less pressure, and there seems to be more things to remember. This gave him more confidence in being admitted to Xiucai.
And Lin Qiya saw that Lin Wenwen liked the paper she made so much, so she suddenly wanted to try to make everything else.
In addition to the inkstone is not a consumable, pen, ink, and paper are all consumables.
And Mo Linya has seen the introduction of these, in fact, they can be made by themselves.
Since she can make it herself, Lin Qiya wants to try it, as for the pen, she doesn't have the ability to catch wolves now, so she will hold it off for the time being, but she can give it a try now.
