Huo Guang felt a churning in his stomach early in the morning, and immediately rushed to the toilet.

After a thousand miles, Huo Guang looked at the toilet chip on the side, recalling the devastation his delicate little daisy, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, resolutely stopped trying, and pulled a piece of cloth on his clothes.

Huo Zhongru looked at Huo Guang, whose sleeves were missing again, and criticized harshly: "Ah Guang, no wonder I saw a lot of clothes and fabrics in the toilet bowl, I didn't expect you to be so wasteful." ”

Huo Guang wanted to argue for a few sentences, but Huo Zhongru picked up the conversation again: "Usually I still say that I am wasteful, and if you dare to say me in the future, I will serve in the family law." ”

Huo Zhongru left without looking back, Huo Guang was helpless, for the sake of his delicate little daisy, he had to get the paper out first.

Just do it, papermaking is one of the four major inventions of our country, and the familiar one was invented by Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but in fact, it was not invented by him, but he summarized and improved it.

Now there is a very rough paper on the market, which is far inferior to straw paper, and it can't even be called paper, which will fall apart when it touches the water, and it may fall apart even if it is written with a pen, which is the paper before the improvement.

The indispensable thing for the production of paper is plant fibers and binders, and the fibers in bamboo can also be used, Huo Guang has seen life bloggers use ancient methods to make bamboo paper, but it is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and the quality of the paper is still very average.

This kind of paper on the market can not replace the toilet chip, one is because of the price, the other is that the toilet chip is not easy to use, but this kind of paper will be broken as long as you wipe it, and you can't tell which is poop and which is shredded paper.

Don't ask Huo Guang how he knew, Zhang Jiaqi heard about it.

Homemade plant fibers may take a long time under the existing conditions, and the video I saw before took a year to dry and bleached in order to make rice paper, and other processes are also cumbersome.

Even if the paper used to wipe the butt doesn't have to be so white, but if it's done, it has to be done.

Instead of buying a carriage today, Huo Guang took Qiu Xiang to the street to find the merchant he had bought the kind of rotten paper before.

Qiu Xiang timidly followed behind Huo Guang, she had not been so free on the street since she was captured as a slave.

She looked around curiously, and at this time she realized that it was really good to follow Huo Guang, except that she had to do some work errands for subordinates, she was no different from a free person.

When I came to the shop where I bought paper, I found that the other party had changed the name of the store and started selling other things, and the shopkeeper had changed from an old man to a middle-aged man in his thirties.

"Shopkeeper."

"What do you need, this son?"

"What about the old man who used to sell paper? The paper is gone. ”

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, and looked Huo Guang up and down, Huo Guang was not dressed badly today, he understood that people judge people by their appearance, so they gradually began to care about their appearance.

Seeing that Huo Guang was dressed well, he sighed and said, "My father passed away half a month ago, and the shop doesn't sell paper anymore." ”

There is just such a shop selling paper in the whole Xiahe County, and now it is gone.

Huo Guang sighed helplessly: "Hey, then forget it." ”

Huo Guang was about to go out, but the middle-aged man stopped him: "If Childe wants to buy paper, there is still some inventory at home, so you can sell it to Childe cheaper." ”

"Take me to see it, if it's good, I'll want it all."

As soon as the middle-aged man heard about the shop, he let the guy watch, and he took Huo Guang to the house.

In a conversation with a sigh of sighing from the other party, Huo Guang knew that the middle-aged man's name was Zhang Lu, his father and County Magistrate Zhang were actually their own family, and the family originally had a lot of assets, but his father was addicted to papermaking since he was not married.

"Some time ago, if it wasn't for Chu Junshou inexplicably wanting to buy a shop, and he didn't ask clearly, he even bought the shop where my family had died, and my family really couldn't pay off the foreign debt."

The speaker has no intention, and the listener is sad.

Came to the courtyard of his house, not far from Huo Guang's house, the location is very good, as soon as you push the door in, the yard is not small, and the price will not be low depending on the style.

"Let Huo Gongzi smile, these things are all left over from the previous father's papermaking, and there have been many things recently, and they haven't had time to clean up, so they are a little messy." Zhang Lu said a little embarrassed.

Qiu Xiang looked at it curiously: "Childe, other people's families are collecting firewood and wood, why are they all bark, you see that they are all white, how long has it been." ”

Zhang Lu sighed and said: "My father used to say that these barks will turn white after a year or two, and the paper will be whiter, and my father also believes that there will be a kind of tree that can make paper perfectly, so he bothered to collect many kinds of plants, you see that it is the cheapest straw, it is also the same steaming and soaking and drying, that is bamboo, that is reed, and that, the most expensive, green sandalwood, has been dried for three years. ”

Huo Guang was stunned, God-given materials.

Zhang Lu led a few people to an independent house, which was added in a different style from the original house, and the construction technology visible to the naked eye was extremely poor.

As soon as he approached, he opened it, and a middle-aged woman walked out of it, and said with a lot of resentment: "Zhang Lu hurriedly disposed of the paper, the old man left so many things, and he couldn't sell them, so it was better to burn them." ”

As if she didn't want to vent her resentment, the woman said, "The old man himself doesn't want to be good and still pulls you to learn how to make paper, and I'd rather not use so many good shops than let you do some business, every day is papermaking, and the family business is ruined." ”

"You have an outsider, and you dare to slander your father." Zhang Lu's face was visibly full of anger.

"I didn't have a few good days when I was here, and I didn't let me say anything when I left."

Facing his shrew-like wife, Zhang Lu couldn't reply, panting angrily.

I don't know if it's because of long-term papermaking, this Zhang Lu has a Confucian demeanor, and it should be a shame to argue with his wife like this in his heart.

"I'm here to buy paper." Huo Guang said.

As soon as she heard this, the woman immediately changed her face: "Then you talk first, this son, our family's paper is excellent, you buy more, it's best to buy them all." "I can't wait to lose this hot potato sooner.

Huo Gongzi smiled. Zhang Lu walked into the house with Huo Guang, which was full of papers, all of which had been made by Zhang Lu's father over the years.

The bottom of the paper was empty, and he used his ability to protect the paper as much as possible, no one said this intention, but Huo Guang felt it.

"Listening to what your lady said just now, Shopkeeper Zhang can also make paper."

Zhang Lu said with a little embarrassment: "Sort of, I learned from my father since I was a child, but it's a pity that the paper can't be sold, and it's useless." ”

"My father is an extremely stubborn person, he has always told me that there will be a kind of paper in the future, which can allow readers to write well, record music and poems, so that everyone can see the words and learn the words, but we tried all the materials we could buy, and it still didn't work, maybe this is my father's delusion, I originally wanted to keep these things as a souvenir, but the space taken up is too large, and I see that the son should sincerely want to buy it, so I sold it, and left some to mourn my father."

The development of Chinese civilization is the virtue of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the grandeur of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and the persistence of these little-known people.

Huo Guang opened his mouth and said, "Go and put incense on your father." ”

"I want all these papers, the tools outside."

"And you, would you still like to make paper?"
