"Just the paper that Li Changfu made them." Hong Lianshuo blinked at Cao Huaimin and said, "It's the paper made of the bark of the tree." ”

"Yes!" Cao Huaimin nodded and said, "I see that there is a record in the history books that the bark coat is made of it." ”

Hong Lianshuo frowned lightly and looked at him and said, "Is this strong?" If you tear it, you won't tear it up. "Hand gestured.

"If you want to tear it on purpose, it won't be able to stand the silk and satin." Han Baohu said with a smile.

After they said this, Hong Lianshuo searched for memory: This paper is made of clothes, Xu Kun in the late Tang Dynasty once wrote "Paper Quilt", and the poem Yun: "Wearing the strong wind is warmer than wine, and listening to the cold wind is warmer than cotton." "Quilts made of discarded paper have a good protection against the cold.

This has to be mentioned, the paper clothes of the working people, and the paper fur that has been improved.

The paper industry in the Tang Dynasty was developed, the price of paper was low, and the poor people collected waste paper to make paper clothes and quilts. "The north wind is as sharp as a sword, and the cloth does not cover the body."

This is the same reason that some homeless people later picked up newspapers and put them on their clothes, or wrapped them in newspapers to keep out the cold.

Later, gradually developed and upgraded, the process of paper clothing production has become more mature and complex, the paper made of bark is steamed, pressed, and walnuts are added to increase the softness, and the final product can be directly cut and dressed, and cotton wool can also be filled in the interlayer to keep warm.

With the economic development, out of the demand for beauty, the paper clothes of the Song Dynasty can also be bleached and dyed and repaired.

Su Shi also wrote an article on how to remedy the damaged paper: "The paper is old and the hairy one will be broken, use five or seven yellow hollyhock stalks, and soak it in broken water and salivate to brush it as new." Or use hibiscus needles to pound water and brush it. ”

Lu You is very fond of the softness and warmth of the paper clothes: "The village dwellers drink on a day, and when they are drunk with plum blossoms, they sleep soundly with the paper jacket, which is very comfortable." ”

For ordinary people, the choice of paper clothes is mainly cost-effective, affordable, warm and flexible and easy to repair.

In the Song Dynasty's academic notebook "Rong Zhai Essays", it was recorded: "In the middle of winter, the paper is draped, and the guests are visited, and they are happy to accept it." In addition, during the heavy snowfall season, the royal and government gave relief to the people, and in addition to giving porridge and rice, they would also distribute paper fur.

In the era of cotton textile technology has not been fully upgraded, paper products represented by the bark of the tree have made great contributions to the people's warmth and cold, and even combat armor, there are also paper products, "dozens of stacks of tissue paper, over and over again, to dozens of stacks, then the extraordinary power has been exhausted." Although I want to penetrate, I am helpless. ”

"Paper clothes can be tried, but they have to be filled, even a thick stack of them doesn't keep warm! You also have to see if the knot is strong. Hong Lianshuo's jet-black Tong Ren looked at them and said.

"Brothers can't wear this paper clothes." When Lin Nanzheng heard this, he immediately said, "I can't stand the training." ”

"After building the house, we have to repair the river embankment again, bump into it, can you wear paper clothes?" Cao Huaimin echoed.

"Then you have to do something, you can't wear pants this winter! It's too cold. Han Baohu's brown Tong Ren looked directly at her and said.

"Try! It's also not a hassle. Hong Lianshuo said bluntly.

"Okay, let's go to Li Changfu to ask for paper, make it, let's try it on." Hua Bijin immediately responded when she heard this.

"Try paper shoes too!" Hong Lianshuo stared at his straw sandals and said, "You can't wear them outside, you can do it in this house!" As long as you don't tap and walk around the house, you should be able to wear it! ”

Paper shoes should be okay, but fake and shoddy leather shoes are not shoes made of paper? Hong Lianshuo said in his heart.

Try it!

"By the way, how's the book printed?" Hong Lianshuo suddenly remembered and asked, "Changfu They have been burning bricks day and night these days, is this paper worth it?" ”

"On the offering, now it is printed with commonly used words, and it is no problem for everyone to have a copy." Cao Huaimin said with a bright smile when he heard this, "As long as there is paper, this is very convenient to print!" The hand slid back and forth, "Brush...... Brush...... Enjoyable. ”

"That's okay, print more and send it to Patriarch Yang." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with glass-colored eyes and said.

"No problem." Han Baohu replied briskly, "I'll tell Uncle Zhong about this." ”

"Regarding paper clothes, we don't have extra cloth and leather, so the paper is ready." Hong Lianshuo said helplessly, "It's important to keep warm, get through this winter first." Seriously, he added, "I always think it's best to keep warm with a sheepskin jacket." ”

"I want a sheepskin jacket too, but what about the sheep?" Lin Nanzheng pouted and muttered, and then said, "This sheep is not an ordinary goat, it has to be a sheep with a lump of hair." ”

"Then we'll be even more gone." Cao Huaimin said with a wry smile when he heard this.

"There are still some days before winter, let's gather hay first and save our rations!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a straight face and said.

"Yes!" Han Baohu and the others all bowed their hands in response.

&*&

Those who go to the beach to fish start to burn hay at home to ward off the cold.

The night was as cool as water, and the fifteenth moon hung in the blue sky, and the bright moonlight covered the earth with a silver veil.

"Today?" Hong Lianshuo stood on the ridge and looked at Cao Huaimin and said, "I feel so cold now!" "Next to him was a tall pile of firewood.

There is moonlight and you can see clearly without lighting a torch, the nutrition can keep up, and with the addition of sea flavor, night blindness is completely eliminated.

"Waiting!" Cao Huaimin pursed his lips and looked at her and said, "I'll talk about it when the moon is in the sky." ”

"Okay, listen to you." Hong Lianshuo's bright eyes looked at him and nodded, and said to himself, "I don't know if there will be frost." ”

"In terms of time, it could be at any time, but we can't bet." Cao Huaimin said seriously and seriously, "It's better to do more than to be late." ”

"Yikes! It's foggy. Hong Lianshuo watched the fog in the north overwhelmingly hit his face.

Seeing this, Cao Huaimin said anxiously, "Quick, hurry up and light the fire." ”

Hong Lianshuo took the fire fold and lit the hay and threw it directly into the firewood, and with a moment, the fire ignited.

The fires lit in the wilderness are the signals, and the firewood piles are lit in turn, and the sorghum fields are filled with smoke before the fog arrives.

"Why is Old Cao so nervous?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with concern and said.

"This fog is cold, and it will frost." Cao Huaimin looked at her with a solemn face and said.

"Really? Fake? Ye Yunyu, who lit the fire, walked over and looked at him in disbelief and said.

"Wake up tomorrow morning and see if there's a layer of frost on the leaves of other trees." Cao Huaimin said happily, "Fortunately, we were prepared, otherwise our rations would have been gone." ”

The thick smoke dispelled the fog and cold, and the piles of bonfires burned until dawn before they gradually extinguished.
