Chapter 111: See the Papermaker Again
It wasn't until the sun was shining that I chose to call the papermaker.
On the other end of the phone, the papermaker's tone was unhurried, and he said, "What's the matter? ”
I was also going to greet him politely, but he came straight in, but I couldn't speak.
I adjusted my tone and said, "How many paper figures are you going to tie me?" Money, money, I'll give it to you later. ”
Zhang Wang on the side asked, "What do you want paper people to do?" ”
I hesitated to tell the truth, thought about it for a while, and felt that after all, I was begging someone to do something, so I had to show some honesty, right? Besides, I don't say it, Zhang Wang's rectum will let him know sooner or later.
Thinking of this, I said directly: "I have a few friends who have had an accident in the field, exploded, and there was nothing left of the explosion, and their family custom must have a body to be buried, so I have no choice but to beg you." ”
After a brief silence on the other end of the phone, the papermaker suddenly replied coldly, "No." ”
I couldn't sit still, the cakes were all painted out, and they came all the way to me, I want to say that I can't do it, Zhang Wang is easy to chisel me as a stone.
I said anxiously, "Don't don't, you can help, when I beg you, can't you?" ”
But the papermaker said decisively: "There are rules for the line, there is a door for paper, and if you don't tie a dead stand-in, I can't afford it, and you can't afford it." ”
The papermaker seems to be very patient today, and said these words for the first time, and according to his previous character, he would certainly not explain so much.
I can't refute what he said, there are rules in a family, and there is no way to force people, but if he doesn't help, there will be no one around me.
After thinking about it for a long time, I sighed and said, "Then if that's the case, forget it, I won't do anything that is difficult for a strong man." ”
The papermaker responded lightly with a "hmm" and hung up the phone.
I sat on the chair and was at a loss, don't let Yu Lan know about this, she knows, she will definitely have to discipline me again.
The ballpoint pen clicked when I pressed it, and I thought it was almost bald, and I didn't think of a reason.
At this moment, the phone rang and interrupted my thoughts, and I picked it up and took a look.
Well?
Papermaker?
I picked up the phone suspiciously and said tentatively, "Hey? ”
"Where are you?" The papermaker still spoke in the same cold tone.
I was stunned for a moment, and I said, "I'm in a small shop." ”
"Wait for me!" He dropped two words and hung up the phone in a hurry.
The papermaker hung up the phone, always anxious like a fire.
Ten minutes later, he was standing at the door of the shop, and I hurriedly welcomed him in.
The papermaker looked around and said lightly, "You said that, I did it for you." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and said excitedly: ", you have helped me a lot!" Don't say anything, we'll see you later. ”
Instead of being excited by my gratitude, the papermaker said coldly, "Can you understand the words?" ”
What's wrong with this person, why did he suddenly scold people?
Seeing that I was silent, the paper-binding man continued: "I ask you, can you understand what I say?" ”
I stared at him, nodded slowly, and waited for what he said next.
The papermaker said: "Well, I tie the paper door, but you are not, so you don't have to worry about the rules in the door, you do this, I will teach it on the side." ”
Good fellow, this man's expression is really strange, and he asked me if I could understand the words for a long time, and it turned out that this is what he meant.
Later, I learned that the papermaker is not cold, but more than two words, he is easy to understand......
I don't understand why the papermaker suddenly figured it out, but since he is willing to reach out to help, I don't ask so much, and it's not a good habit to ask about people's privacy.
I asked the papermaker to sit in the house first, I brought Zhang Wang back, there was not much way to go, Zhang Wang was holding his broken bag, and I didn't know what treasure was inside.
After I introduced each other, Zhang Wang held the hand of the papermaker, shook it vigorously, and said excitedly: "I am my reborn parents!" ”
The papermaker looked at Zhang Wang, this poker face actually pulled the corners of his mouth,, it turned out that he could laugh!
The papermaker put his finger in his mouth, and after a while, he stuck his finger out of the window and said, "Southwest wind, do it." ”
Indeed, all the Xuanmen are taboo to the east wind, and the god of the east is the Vermilion Bird, the main fire, and is not suitable for doing Dharma things like transcendence.
The materials required by the papermaker are more complicated, not to mention anything else, just the first one, the bamboo used is particularly particular, this bamboo, to be stained with yang, but not to touch the sun.
I looked at the papermaker and said with a smile: "Brother, don't play dumb riddles, just hurry up." ”
But the papermaker said with a straight face: "That's all there is in the book, and it's the first time I've done it, and I didn't write it in the book about what it uses." ”
I raised my head, kept tapping my head, kept thinking, I had been touched by yang energy, and I couldn't see the sunshine yet, didn't this pull the calf? All the yang energy in the world comes from the sun, including the yang energy in people's bodies.
It is also said in the "Hexagram Sutra" that do not leave bangs on the forehead, especially for children, will lead to an imbalance of yin and yang, and they will indeed be weak after a long time. Including, the older generation is also saying, don't stay in the house all the time, go out for a change, this change of air is not air, but yang.
I pondered for a long time, and after dozens of minutes, we were still staring at each other, and no one could come up with a result.
We kept coming up with various methods, but they didn't hold water, and in the end they were overturned.
The raw materials became an obstacle for a while, I frowned, grabbed the back of my head with both hands, and asked, "Isn't ordinary bamboo good?" ”
The papermaker nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Without waiting for me to get excited, he continued, "It doesn't work, it's not bad for me. ”
Good fellow, you still have a big pant when you talk.
Yu Lan was also thinking bitterly on the side, and suddenly, her brows stretched a little, and she looked at herself: "The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals." ”
Good guys, quite literary?
We looked at her at the same time, and Yu Lan said with some excitement: "Cooking smoke, is it considered yang?" ”
This question was more like she was asking herself, and she continued to analyze: "If it counts, then is it okay to roast it over fire?" ”
The papermaker immediately poured a basin of cold water: "No, when the bamboo sees an open flame, it will become very brittle, and it can't be used at all." ”
Yu Lan sighed in disappointment, but there was light in my eyes, Yu Lan changed directions, and this matter took a new turn.
I said lightly, "Not necessarily." ”
These two words attracted the attention of several people, I picked my eyelids and said: "If you can't see open flames, it doesn't mean that you can't see water vapor, and water vapor is also fireworks in the world." “
With that, I slapped the table excitedly.
In the past, when the countryside celebrated the New Year, they all tied their own lanterns, and the skeleton of this lantern was bamboo strips, that is, the bamboo was split into small pieces, steamed in the pot, and then put the tung oil in the bubbles if possible, so that the bamboo toughness was excellent.
The more I think about this method, the more reliable I feel, there are dates and no dates to hold a pole!
Without further ado, I hurried to the wholesale market, and finally got a few bamboos, and when I came back, I had already set up a cauldron at the door, and I cleaved the bamboo, and several people began to look forward to it around the cauldron.
As soon as the bamboo came out of the pot, sure enough, the toughness was extremely high, at least it met the process needs of the papermaker.
And the rest of the things are better to prepare, yellow sheet paper, hay, etc., which are more common.
But the raw materials are just the beginning, and we ignore an extremely important problem - Zhang Wang's workers' minced meat is gone.
The papermaker thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any belongings with those people?" ”
Zhang Wang took off his backpack from his shoulder and said, "Yes, yes, but I have to hand it over to their family." ”
I stabbed Zhang Wang and whispered, "You have to carry it lightly, don't make a mistake in this kung fu." ”
Zhang Wang bit his lip, frowned, and opened the backpack directly as if he had made a big decision. He said: "These are my workers' favorite things when they are alive, so take them." ”
The papermaker took the backpack, he pulled the corners of his mouth again, and suddenly said, "Don't worry." ”
This sentence of northern Shaanxi caught us off guard.
Zhang Wang said excitedly: "Fellow? ”
I have a bit of a painting soul in my heart, is it possible, does the papermaker know Zhang Wang?
