Not only is it finer than chopping meat, let alone beating. Han Shuxian, who felt reasonable, finally decided to try it with the wood chips that the Mo family had now to see if he could make paper.

However, before the trial, Han Shuxian asked Huang Rui to invite him again, although they felt reasonable, but it was always on paper, and they had to make the people who had done it feel reasonable, so it was really reasonable, and what to do, Huang Rui had to do it, otherwise this papermaking that changed the process, according to the current self, will definitely not be able to do it.

After Huang Ruilai listened to Han Shuxian's thoughts, he naturally couldn't say whether it would work or not, as Han Shuxian thought, it made sense.

Since everyone thinks it makes sense, let's try it first, and there's nothing wasted anyway, it's just a pile of useless wood chips.

Mo Tingyu didn't expect that the sawdust sawed down at home that was useless could still be of great use now, and after Han Shuxian asked him to put away the sawdust, the originally useless thing suddenly became a treasure in his eyes.

Not only did he put away the sawdust that day, but he also put the sawdust that had been swept together in one place and put it into a densely woven bamboo basket.

With sawdust, there is no need for hammering, and the next step is pulping. In Mo Aster's inquiries from time to time, it was actually a hint that Huang Rui had the decision to pour the sawdust into the pot and boil it with water first.

Cooking is essential to remove lignin and other non-fibrous components from wood chips.

As for the cooking time, it is still determined by Huang Ruilai. Huang Rui was determined according to his previous memory, and directly set a day and a night.

When boiling, it is still the same as before, the pot first adds filtered grass and wood ash water, and then puts wood chips in the pot after the plant ash water is put into the pot, and then Song Nanzhi boils the water and boils.

Wash while boiling, wash twice, clean the impurities in the sawdust, as well as the lignin and non-cellulose boiled out, and then add water to boil again, this cooking is overnight, until the original fine particles of wood chips are boiled into white wood pulp.

After the wood pulp is boiled, the viscous juice boiled from the mountain pepper leaves is added, and with the addition of mountain pepper juice, the pulp becomes viscous at once, and the whitened wood pulp is evenly suspended in the viscous juice, so that the salvaged pulp is also more uniform.

The bamboo curtain used for salvaging pulp was dictated by Huang Rui and compiled by Mo Tingyu.

Looking at the pulp water in the basin in front of him, Huang Rui was so excited that he couldn't do it, this was too fast, it used to take half a year to make it, but now it only took two days, and he regretted that he shouldn't have refused Han Shuxian so quickly to help him manage the workshop.

It doesn't look like it's done, but what it is, you have to fish it out to know. The bamboo curtain was put into the basin, and after Huang Rui shook back and forth, he took it out flat.

The thin layer can't be seen without looking carefully, but even if Han Shuxian, Mo Ziyun and others see that the bamboo curtain has been covered with a layer, they don't know if it has succeeded, and only Huang Rui can see that it is good, so Han Shuxian and the others turned to Huang Rui after only taking a look at the bamboo curtain.

"What's going on? Is it done?" Mo Tingyu was the first to ask.

Huang Rui didn't dare to say death, and said, "It looks like it's done!" As he spoke, he poured the wet paper on the prepared plank, poured it into the plank, and said, "It's finished!"

If it can be poured on the wooden board in good condition, it means that the paper has been formed.

Isn't it too easy, too fast!

It was so fast that it was hard to believe that they made the paper like that.

Even Mo Aster couldn't believe that papermaking was realized so quickly!

"Grab a few more sheets, and then dry them over the fire to see how the paper is quality?" Mo Ziyun said after being surprised.

"Quality is key!" After it is completed, it is necessary to start focusing on quality.

"Okay." Huang Ruiying then extended the bamboo curtain into a wooden basin filled with pulp water.

Just to verify whether the sawdust can be directly made into paper, so there is no large amount of it, although there is still a lot of pulp left, after salvaging more than a dozen Huang Rui did not continue to salvage, but directly took the wooden board placed aside and pressed it on the salvaged paper, this is not counting, as the wooden board was pressed, his hands were also pressed on the wooden board,

Finally, his hands supported his entire body.

There were only a dozen or so thin sheets of paper, and after his pressure, the water on the paper was immediately pressed and all flowed out.

When Huang Rui pressed the paper, Yu Silian had already brought a pot with charcoal and placed it in the middle of the room.

Then Huang Rui took the paper that pressed out the excess water to the charcoal fire to dry, and after baking until it was half dry, he took it away, and then separated the pressed paper one by one.

After parting one by one, they gave everyone present a sheet, "Although the color is not white enough, it is more delicate and faster than the paper made by hammering."

Everyone was surprised enough when Huang Rui said it, not to mention that the paper made still had such a big advantage, which made Han Shuxian, who was just for perfunctory Mo Ziyun at the beginning, feel like a dream, so he made the paper?

I wanted to do wax paper printing with Wan Wan at the beginning, and it took a few months to make it, but I didn't expect this paper to be made at once!

Mo Ziyun knew that she could succeed, although she was also surprised that she could succeed so quickly, but she was prepared, and she was a little secretly excited, and asked, "How can I make the paper whiter?"

Huang Rui couldn't suppress his excitement at all, but when he saw this question, he replied without thinking, "Wait for the next time after the slurry is boiled, add some stone forging and soak it for a while."

Stone forging is lime, alkaline, which can play a role in bleaching.

After listening to Huang Rui's bleaching method, Mo Ziyun didn't even have to think about the bleaching method anymore.

Solve it perfectly, just wait for the start of construction and collect the money.

However, it is still early for the papermaking workshop to be built, but this does not affect them to test a few more times, so that the paper produced is of better quality. In trial and error, Mo Ziyun kept asking this and that, in short, as long as she was there, there was no question not to ask.

After being asked for a few days, Huang Rui spit bitter water at Han Shuxian when Mo Ziyun was away, "Mr. Han, I now know that it is really not easy for you to be a gentleman, you have to teach so many students every day, each person asks a question, and you have to answer dozens of questions every day, I have only been asked by Yun Yun for a few days, and I almost want to break my head when she asks."

Finally someone can understand his difficulty, Han Shuxian is in a good mood, "Other babies can't ask a hundred times a day."

"I knew that there was today, and I used to use more heart when I was in the workshop, which is better than Miss Wanyun's current question, I have to think about it for a long time, and it would be good if I could come up with it for a long time, but I can't say anything after thinking about it for a long time, but I think that the person she hasn't brought in the workshop is reasonable."

The happiness of making paper is not as happy as Han Shuxian's happiness when he heard Huang Rui's grievances at this time, and he reached out and patted Huang Rui on the shoulder, "Brother Huang, I understand what you said." After understanding, he continued: "Although I taught Wan Wan, you know her thoughts and questions, ordinary people are one corner, three corners, I think she is four corners, five corners."

Huang Rui immediately agreed, "Yes, yes." It's just too understanding.

If Mo Ziyun heard the words of the two, she would also feel that it was not easy for her to ask.

If you don't ask, the quality of the paper can not be improved, and the paper made has no advantage, so you have to ask in a different way, and you can prompt in a different way.

In order to make paper, I really took great pains, and it is not easy to get better than you!

The three of them felt that it was not easy, but what was even more difficult than them was Murong Qingyuan, who was about to usher in the first exam in his life.

Mo Ziyun and Han Shuxian were able to find Huang Rui to tinker with papermaking together after class, but Murong Qingyuan had to stay in the study to read and study quietly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the county exam on March 16.

The county examination is referred to in the county and presided over by the county order. To the county for reference, although there is no need to travel a long distance, but five exams in a row, it is also two days, which is still very exhausting.

On the first day, there were three consecutive exams, one in the first half and two in the second half. The remaining two exams on the second day, one in the first half and one in the second half.

In the morning, all the Mo family members got up early, especially Song Nanzhi got up before dawn, and he didn't sleep last night, and he was confused

I slept in a daze, but I didn't sleep well. Even Mo Tingyu laughed at her and said, "I don't see that you are as nervous and anxious as you are."

Song Nanzhi said, "He hasn't taken the exam before, isn't I worried about him for the first time!"

"I wish he had passed the test once at a time." Mo Tingyu also sat up from the head of the bed after Song Nanzhi got up, but he didn't get out of bed, it was still dark, and it was enough for her and Yulian Niang to have her in the stove room.

"Qingyuan can read, it's definitely no problem." Song Nanzhi had already gotten out of bed.

The second one to get up was Du Shi, and when she got up, she looked at Song Nanzhi, who was already busy in the stove room, "Auntie, why did you get up so early?"

Song Nanzhi laughed at his lack of interest, "When people are old, they can't sleep when they encounter something."

Du Shi replied, "I can't sleep either, I toss and turn in the first half of the night, and I only fall asleep a little in the second half of the night."

After the two got up, then Mo Tingyu and Boss Qiao, Qiao Yulian, and then Murong Qingyuan, Mo Ziyun, and Mo Li also got up one after another.

"Brother Qingyuan, it's early!" After getting up, he saw Murong Qingyuan and sent a smiling face.

After Mo Ziyun greeted her, Mo Li also greeted, "Brother Qingyuan, I dreamed that you took the exam last night and took the first place."

After Murong Qingyuan heard this, his eyebrows bent, "This is really a dream, I'll work hard!"

Mo Ziyun was afraid that he would be under pressure, "Brother Qingyuan, don't be nervous, don't be pressured, play at your level, it's definitely no problem."

Murong Qingyuan approached Mo Ziyun, and his palm that was not thick enough was applied to Mo Ziyun's head, "I'm not nervous, and I don't have pressure!"

Mo Ziyun was speechless and took his hand down, "Brother Qingyuan, who did you learn from this bad habit of putting your hand on someone's head at every turn."

Murong Qingyuan smiled, "I think about it, grandparents, uncles and aunts, and the village chief's uncle, Uncle Xie, I can't say it all."

"I know, you are indeed not nervous, and you are also a person who can do the college exam papers, what is there to be nervous about during the county exam, but it is just a small test." Mo Ziyun was speechless again.
