Chapter 45: Papermaking (1)
"Rhubarb, Feed the Snacks"
The little girl Luo Rui patted the rhubarb under her buttocks, the rhubarb whined and roared in a low voice, the dog's tail shook like an electric fan, and she bit an elixir in her mouth, and shook her head handsomely to the left, and the elixir drew an arc in the air, and it fell straight into the little girl's open mouth!
The whole process is smooth, obviously after a thousand tempers, otherwise it would not be possible to do so.
"Ah, rhubarb, don't defecate in the open"
The little girl tugged at Rhubarb's ears and complained dissatisfiedly.
Rhubarb shook his head, stepped away and took the little girl for a leisurely walk in the forest, and the cheerful laughter of the little girl came from time to time in the forest.
……..。
Time passed minute by minute, and the time came to noon in a blink of an eye, and a group of disciples also gathered together, looking at Lin Jie expectantly. Lin Jie began to gather the green sandalwood trees that had been cut down.
Liu Junzhi cut four, Wang Xiaozhu and Zhu Xiaoming cut three, Ji Qing cut five because of the spirit sword in his hand, Xu Lei, Luoyu, and Shu Hui cut a total of two.
After a little calculation, plus the ten that I had chopped, there were twenty-four in total.
That's enough!
Lin Jie was quite satisfied with the fruits of his disciples' labor, and each rewarded a few people with the elixir they had refined, so he assigned the disciples to work in groups of four to transport the downed sandalwood tree down the mountain, and he also carried one down the mountain.
After turning back several times, the sandalwood tree was finally transported to the side hall of the sect.
Bang!
As the last sandalwood tree fell from Lin Jie's back, the mission was over.
"Whew"
With a long breath and wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Lin Jie looked at the staggering disciple and smiled happily.
Right now, the materials are ready, and the next thing is the time for me to give full play to the crystallization of Huaxia's wisdom, thinking of this, Lin Jie is full of fighting spirit.
"Boss, drink tea"
Luo Yu carried a plate, with a few cups of hot tea on the plate, and walked towards Lin Jie.
Lin Jie also felt dry mouth, looking at the color of the tea in the cup orange yellow, it should be black tea brewing, smelling the fragrant fragrance, the tea fragrance overflowed, took a cup of steaming tea and squatted under the eaves to take a sip.
The entrance is sweet and refreshing, rich and full, shengjin throat rhyme, sip slowly, let the aroma of tea linger around the body, and the sweet aftertaste is obvious after a while, which is a good cup of tea.
The tea in the falling rain tray was snatched up by a group of disciples, and Lin Jie sat under the eaves and sucked the tea, his face was leisurely and full of happiness.
"If only I could drink a cup of cool spiritual tea"
Wang Xiaohammer hugged Zhu Xiaoming, and the two talked and laughed, and began to talk about spiritual tea.
"Senior Brother Little Hammer, spiritual tea is a big sect, and only big families can drink it, not something we can taste."
Zhu Xiaoming drank all the hot tea in the cup, picked up the teapot and poured another cup, and said.
Lingcha is a unique product of Shenwu Continent, mainly produced in the area of the south of the Yangtze River, because it is full of aura, often drinking tea, not only can clear the heat, nourish the mind and comfort the mind, and the most important thing, it is also a point that ordinary tea does not have, that is, to enhance spiritual power!
The importance of spiritual power to monks is self-evident, and the planting conditions of spiritual tea are also very harsh, such as landform, climate, and soil type, which are quite important, and are considered to be the innate conditions for the growth of spiritual tea.
If only these innate conditions are far from enough, this has to mention the profession of spiritual value master.
As a diligent gardener of medicinal herbs, tea, etc., the spirit planter is also an ancient profession, they have a special sense of intimacy with the spirit plant, and the communication spirit plant life can be said to be different from ordinary people, all things have spirits, and they are the leaders in cultivating plants.
But the Spirit Planter is a more scarce existence than the Alchemist, the Refiner, even if you find a Spirit Planter, then the cost of hiring him is enough to be described as expensive.
Having said that, drinking tea is not only the enjoyment of the body, but also the pleasure of the spirit, drinking tea every day, nourishing the body, relaxing the spirit, the mood can also be improved, and when breaking through the realm, it will be handy, and it can be said that there are many advantages.
But it is the spiritual tea that has all kinds of benefits, and its price is also expensive and abnormal, even some major sects are regarded as treasures, not to mention ordinary people, it is something that they can't think of on weekdays.
was reminded by Wang Xiaohammer like this, Lin Jie's eyes lit up suddenly, and he felt a burst of joy in his heart!
The well-developed herbal tea industry on the earth has made Lin Jie see huge business opportunities!
Drink the tea and suppress this thought, the most important thing at the moment is to make rice paper, Lin Jie still understands the truth that you can't chew too much, you still have to take one step at a time to do things, and you are most afraid of being greedy.
After resting for a while, Lin Jie got up and drew his long sword and began to peel and chop the green sandalwood into small pieces.
Seeing that the head of the sect began to act, the disciples did not dare to be lazy, and joined in to help.
While demonstrating Lin Jie, he explained how much of the sandalwood is appropriate to cut and how to peel the best wood, and everyone was busy and happy.
"The boss is big, look at how I cut it"
Luoyu held a small piece of wood, the noon sun sprinkled on the little face, and the little face was cute for a while, and asked as if to take credit.
Lin Jie smiled faintly and praised Luo Yu's ingenuity, Luo Yu's happy eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and he worked harder.
Time passed in a hurry, and when it was afternoon, several elders and Ziqiong couldn't wait for the group of disciples and masters to eat, so they all hurried over, and saw that Lin Jie and the disciples were busy with their work, and they also joined in.
With the participation of several elders, the process of cutting down trees is much easier, after all, it is a long time to live, to have a wide range of knowledge, and to work like a fish in water, and the efficiency is remarkable.
When the sun sets, all the wood is finally peeled and cut into small pieces.
"Master, what is the rice paper you are talking about, what are the benefits, why do you want to cut down trees?"
Looking at the puzzled Gu Rui, Lin Jie explained mysteriously: "Xuan paper is one of the four treasures of the study, containing the brilliant wisdom of the ancients, and is a treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Gu Rui heard it in a fog, he had never heard of the four treasures of the study, but he just listened to Lin Jie and talked about it, and he only felt that Lin Jie was a celestial person, which impressed him.
Seeing that Gu Rui didn't understand, his face became more and more bitter, Lin Jie didn't explain much, and organized everyone to throw small wooden blocks into the pond in front of them to soak.
The purpose of this is to use water to dilute and separate the wood fibers in the sandalwood tree so that it can be easily made.
As the sun set, a man and a dog came down from the mountain slowly, and ate dinner in a hurry, the little girl was obviously tired after a day of playing, and actually fell asleep on the back of the rhubarb.
After throwing all the wooden blocks in, everyone went to dinner, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms to practice.
The next day, when the sun rose, Lin Jie set out to salvage the small wooden blocks, and the disciples also came one after another rubbing their eyes to help.
Piling the salvaged wooden blocks on the sun-drenched ground, Lin Jie asked Wang Xiaozhu to set up four cauldrons by the lake and start boiling water.
Xu Lei, Luoyu group, Liu Junzhi, Ji Qing group, Shu Hui, little girl Luo Rui, rhubarb group, Wang Xiaohammer, Zhu Xiaoming group, began to make a fire to boil water, pour in the grass ash prepared in advance, and when the hot water boiled, pour the small wooden blocks into the boiler and steam.
Lin Jie and the elders continued to salvage small wooden blocks, and the division of labor was extremely clear.
