During dinner, Huang Yueying didn't take the initiative to speak, she heard her old father's voice when she tore the paper, if she let the old father know...... Don't dare to think about it, don't dare to think about it

It was only a family of three, and they did not eat at separate tables, but there were roasted mutton, blanched winter sunflower and bean sprouts, and rice! If the old father came back, the food could be like this, she would not dislike it.

Lamb! The third time she crossed over to eat! The first two times were after she got better, Cai asked people to bring some mutton back and stew soup, and later, she took Huang Cong every day to pound the fish and shrimp in the river, and the pheasants and hares in the mountains.

For such a change in his daughter, Cai's also figured it out, because of the wind chill in bed for more than half a month, the wind chill has been good and stuffy for more than half a month, now it is lively and active, it is normal, children, how can there be no one who doesn't like to play.

After a while, Huang Chengyan put down the dishes and chopsticks, he was full, and seeing that Huang Yueying was still eating sweetly, his eyes were full of love, "By the way, Achu, if this bamboo paper is sold, what do you think?" ”

Huang Yueying swallowed the mutton in her mouth and looked at Huang Chengyan with a puzzled look, "It's my father's decision." ”

She can make paper, she can't even think about who to partner with to do business after making it, that's too demonic! Therefore, even if she had a plan in her heart, she couldn't say it at this time, because she was afraid that she would be dragged to ask God to do the Dharma.

"How?" Cai wiped a sentence and looked at her husband.

"I thought, this is an excellent business, you also know the price of Caihou paper, and now the bamboo paper made by Achu can be several times better than Caihou paper." Huang Chengyan touched his mustache with satisfaction, "It's just that our Huang clan in Weiyang is a little farther away from the Xiangyang branch, and our branch is based on cultivating and reading heirlooms, and we are not proficient in business, so if you want to do this business, you have to invite someone to join you." ”

"Then who does Lang Jun think is better?"

"Jingsheng, Brother Mao, Brother Zirouxian, and Brother Shang! Top-down, when unimpeded. Huang Chengyan thought for a while and said, "However, this son, Jingsheng is two percent, and Brother Mao, Zirou, and Elder Brother Shang are each good." ”

"This, so calculated, don't we account for fifty percent? Jingsheng is now the lord of Jingzhou...... Do we have more than him? Cai was a little worried.

"Don't worry, three of them, and Achu, that is, Jingsheng's uncle, it is not good to compete with Xiao'er, besides, it is precisely because he is the lord of Jingzhou and rich in Jingzhou, that he doesn't mind the benefits of this wealth." Huang Chengyan smiled, "The other one is from the Huang family in Chuyang, since my father is based in Chuyang, then I should also do my part for the family, so there is only one percent left, and I have to let the Xiangyang branch and the Chen family and other families also get a little bit of it, otherwise I am afraid that they will all have to quarrel with me." ”

Cai's Fang nodded, looked at Huang Yueying, and smiled warmly, "Then Ah Chu will have money in his hands in the future, so you can't learn from your father to spend money like water, understand?" ”

"Well, I can save it, Father just spends money indiscriminately! If you don't have a home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! ”

Cai's eyes lit up, and then nodded, "Achu is right. ”

Huang Chengyan: ......

"You two......"

So, Huang Yueying and Cai's both laughed, and Huang Chengyan naturally laughed too. This home hasn't been so lively for a long time.

As for the bamboo paper just mentioned, Huang Yueying also understood, her share is the most, and her own uncle, who is the lord of Jingzhou, is one percent less than herself, and her brother Mao is Cai Mao, Zirou, which is the word Kuai Liang, Shang Chang, referring to Pang Degong, that is to say, Cai's, Kuai's, and Ponzi's are one percent each.

In this way, the remaining two percent, one percent will be given to the Huang family in Xiangyang, and the other one will be released to the Huang family and other Xiangyang families in Xiangyang.

After all, there is always a difference between relatives and aliens.

"It's Achu, she's not young anymore, it's a big girl, you can hold it yourself, and it will be a dowry in the future!" Huang Chengyan sighed, yes, he is twelve years old, but he can watch the marriage, and when he thinks that his intimate little padded jacket will marry in the future, he can't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

Cai also nodded, Sancheng gave her daughter as a dowry, which is also what her daughter deserves, of course she has no opinion.

"Father......" Huang Yueying was helpless, yes, the ancients got married really early, only twelve years old, and it depends on the object. But in later generations, parents guard against early love every day, and urge marriage as soon as they graduate from college...... In short, it's a mystery.

It's just that thirty percent of the people will give it when they say it. Huang Chengyan said it easily, and Cai's had no objections, but had an expression that should be like this, this couple, in this era, I am afraid they are also unique.

"Haha, alright." Huang Chengyan smiled, and then looked at Huang Yueying, "When it comes to dividing, others won't have too many objections, but once the elements are divided, the paper is spread everywhere...... Today's papermaking speed is afraid that it can't keep up. ”

Huang Yueying nodded, "So what is Father going to do?" ”

"The good is like water, the water is beneficial to all things without fighting, and the evil of everyone is the same, so it is more than the Tao. Jingzhou has a lot of water, and the water is a way, or it can be done. Huang Chengyan touched his beard and looked at his little girl.

"Father said that it is with water power? Like the overturned (waterwheel) painted by my father? As a descendant, Huang Yueying can understand it very well, but as soon as these words came out, she was slightly stunned, she didn't have these memories in the past...... Today, without thinking, I have these thoughts, and it seems that the original owner is really relieved.

Huang Chengyan's eyes lit up, his daughter, she has been smart and intelligent since she was a child, eccentric, and she can give him hints in the idea of many things, which coincides with him, "Achu is really smart, his father has such an idea, now it is winter, and it will be the beginning of the year soon, the weather is cold, if you can replace part of the manpower with water, your Uncle Song will save a lot of light, and the speed of papermaking will naturally be much faster." ”

"So, you father and daughter discuss slowly, I'll clean up first, and light more oil lamps when I go to the study, so as not to hurt my eyes." Cai shook her head helplessly, she has seen a lot of this scene. Her daughter's ideas are wild, and sometimes a random question can keep Huang Chengyan busy for a long time.

Huang Yueying smiled and put the last piece of mutton in her mouth, then stood up and followed behind her old father.

Today, the old father's distribution of bamboo paper shares, which is called a high, put the lord of Jingzhou in, and put his relatives and friends in, and ...... These people are already de facto rulers.

There are only a few words about the old father in the history books.

Only now did she realize that those who could leave a name were really not stupid.

The old father is really free and easy, and he doesn't care about money, but Cai's family, for the sake of the old father, she can only try her best to keep the family, and she doesn't want Huang Chengyan to change. It's really a representative of Qin Se and Ming.

Although she had just made fun of her old father, it was obvious that no one had taken it to heart, not even herself.

The old father spends a lot of money, so she will make money.

"Achu, you first explain the whole process of papermaking to Father, and then we can think about where we can replace it with hydropower, how about it?" Entering the study, Huang Chengyan had happily laid down a new piece of bamboo paper on the desk, but soon he saw the leftover paper torn off on the shelf next to him, and asked puzzledly, "So, Achu, what are you doing with the paper?" ”

Huang Yueying coughed lightly, "Lost." ”

Huang Chengyan: ......

"Okay, it's good that Achu is happy." Huang Chengyan didn't come up in one breath, and took a step back, so confident...... Sure enough, it's his daughter!

Huang Yueying walked to the desk and looked at this paper carefully, there are still some differences from what she has seen in later generations, but the process can be improved again, it will not affect the use, it is better than Cai Hou paper, I don't know how many times.

So I picked up the pen and wrote out the various processes of bamboo paper.

"The production process of bamboo paper is actually not difficult, but the selection of materials is particular, and it is best to be a new bamboo that has just grown into new bamboo shoots in a year."

"Why?"

"Bamboo that is too old is more difficult to make."

Huang Chengyan nodded, "That's right, if that's the case...... Our bamboo in Jingzhou may not be enough? ”

"Yes, the bamboo in Jingzhou is not as good as that in Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou is located in the south, and it is humid and hot all year round, so the bamboo can grow all year round, but the best distinction is the batch before and after Xiaoman."

"Later, I'll ask who has something to do in Jiaozhou." Huang Chengyan nodded, and then motioned to his daughter to continue.

"After cutting the bamboo, transport it back, and then cut the bamboo into suitable bamboo segments, and cut off the green skin of the bamboo, which is a white billet."

"Otherwise, the paper will be colored?" Huang Chengyan asked again, "Cyan? ”

"Ah, maybe, I just think that if you want to make the bamboo paper whiter, then it is more convenient to remove the rest of the colors from the raw materials."

"Yes."

"Then, the white billet is smashed into pieces, and this step may be replaced by hydraulics." When Huang Yueying said this, she paused for a moment, and then looked at Huang Chengyan, "What does Father plan to create?" ”

"There's no hurry, Achu, you continue."

"The broken white billets are bundled and soaked in water, a process that takes four to five days."

"Hmm."

"Then cut the white billet into more than a foot of bamboo, wash it, and put it in a pool where the lime liquid is prepared."

"Lime liquid?"

"After soaking for about three days, put the bamboo into the wok, fill it with water, cook it day and night for five days, and then immediately put the bamboo into the clear water pond to wash, after washing, the bamboo needs to be soaked in the clear water pond for ten to fifteen days, during which you need to continue to clean, and pick up the rotten bamboo material. After this, the clean bamboo, that is, the white material, can be bundled into bundles and beaten into fine powder. ”

Huang Chengyan suddenly realized that in the final analysis, bamboo is also made of bamboo shoots, and after such a while, this bamboo is afraid that it will become dregs.

"It is still necessary to manually pick out the coarser white material, or it cannot be broken, and then put the remaining white material into the clear water, stir it repeatedly with a wooden rake, if there are thick tendons, it still needs to be fished out until the white material dissolves in the water and becomes pulp, and finally, it is to copy the bamboo curtain and make it into wet paper, after drying, it is the bamboo paper that my father saw, but the final process of copying the question, Uncle Song and Uncle Li's kung fu does not seem to be enough, and the bamboo paper is still a little rough."

"You can polish it slowly." Huang Chengyan then smiled, very happy, his daughter is really amazing, "How did Achu come up with it?" ”

"My father used to tell me about the manufacture of Caihou paper, but then I always felt that Caihou paper was too rough and inconvenient to write, and every time my father needed to record it with charcoal, it was also very inconvenient. But I don't want to use broken fishing nets...... I tried it with bamboo at random, but it didn't work out, but it was actually made. Probably God helped! ”

"That's my family's Achu Smart!" Huang Chengyan smiled, "If this is the case, a few places that are beaten by manpower can be exchanged for animal power or water power, but it's just ......."

Huang Chengyan immediately turned out the overturned car he had painted before, "In the past, when Ma Lan made a rollover car, I only felt that this thing was of great benefit to people's livelihood. ”

"Watering crops is much easier."

"But how can it be changed?" Huang Chengyan is in trouble.
