Many of the boiled raw materials were put back into the stone mortar by Zhou Carpenter, Li Dayan and other villagers, and they were vigorously scooped into mud surface, and finally the smashed mud surface was poured into a large wooden trough with clean water, and kept stirring with a large wooden stick.

At this time, a thick layer of pulp could already be seen floating on the water.

Zhou carpenter used a thin bamboo curtain to copy it in the pulp, and a layer of paper film was formed on the bamboo curtain.

Carpenter Zhou carefully poured the paper film onto a polished and smooth bluestone slab, and after it dried, it was the formed straw paper.

The old village chief Zhu looked at the straw paper and shook his head: "Although this paper is not as good as the good rice paper in the city, it is also good, and the little baby is good for practicing calligraphy, such a good paper, Guo Ge'er actually wants to use it to wipe his fart-" He really couldn't say the words "wipe his ass".

Whether he used to be a big soldier or now he is a farmer, he values this scholar the most, and the pen and paper are like treasures, but Guo Dalu tossed for a long time to get these straw papers, just to wipe the dirt - this is really a sin.

Guo Dalu didn't care about these, he grabbed a few pieces of straw paper that was still drying on the bluestone slab, ran home, and put it on the stove to dry, then Shi Shiran paced into the newly built toilet in the backyard, happy and convenient, when wiping his stomach with some tide straw paper, he couldn't help but sigh comfortably - although this straw paper is not as soft and white as modern toilet paper, but it is better than environmental protection, it is made of natural bamboo grass, and there are too many bleaching agents and luminescent agents in toilet paper, which is really not as natural as this straw paper.

What's more, Guo Dalu no longer wants to rinse other people's used toilet paper every day and use it again, especially the day before yesterday, when he rinsed a ball of toilet paper that had wiped his nose, but found that it was not snot, but some kind of body fluid that exuded a fishy smell, he was hated and disgusted.

In the straw paper workshop, Carpenter Zhou was muttering to the old village chief Zhu: "Old village chief, you say, how did Guo Dalu, the child disappear for more than ten years? ”

Old Village Chief Zhu's face suddenly sank, and he lowered his voice and said: "Zhou Laiyu, you have been fighting with me for many years, and you have finally survived a life and lived some peaceful lives, why has the character of this bag of inquiries not changed? How did the Guo family kid Dalu come over in the past ten years, and does it have anything to do with our Houlong Village? I only know that since Brother Guo returned to the village, our life has become better and better day by day, and this is enough. Remember, Guo Dalu is a native of our Houlong Village, he was, is, and will be. ”

Zhou Laiyu was stunned, it was rare for the old village chief Zhu to talk to him with such a straight face, he paused, and the look on his face became serious: "Deputy General Zhu, don't worry, I'm not a fool, but I'm really curious about the origin of the Guo family's kid, and I always want to deal with his bottom - but you're right, since Guo Dalu returned to the village, everything he has done has brought benefits to our village." What's even more rare is that he is bold, he got such a big ingot of silver before, and he actually took it all out to buy chickens and piglets for the people in the village. I didn't say it, I, Zhou Laiyu, will treat him as my own nephew from now on, if anyone wants to be unfavorable to him, ask my fist first!"

The old village chief Zhu bowed down again: "What kind of deputy general is not a deputy general, I am just a bad old man now, picking up soil and mixing rice in the field, hum, don't think I don't know your careful thoughts, I see that you have been silent for many years, and your hands are itchy again, seeing that Guo Dalu often has all kinds of wonderful ideas, I want to learn more from him, and come out with new things - you are right to think like this, look, the Guo family boy has to surprise you and us." ”

Carpenter Zhou smiled: "Don't say it - old village chief, Brother Guo asked me to get this straw paper, not only to wipe my cheeks, but also to print something." ”

The old village chief Zhu was stunned: "Printing things? Printing things on straw paper? There are bookstores in this city, and there are skilled craftsmen who can use good hardwood engraving to print books, and in the past, we were in the army, and there would be a large number of written notices that needed to be printed, but this master of engraving, but all of them are treasures, either registered in the government and made a book, listed as a craftsman, or raised by the bookstore with white flowers, how can they come to our village and print words on straw paper?"

Carpenter Zhou said: "I naturally know this truth, it is precisely because of the gold of this engraving master that the price of the book is so high. However, Guo Ge'er said that he was asking Li Dayan to tinker with a few gadgets, and when they were done, a large number of words and paper could be easily printed. ”

Rao is old village chief Zhu used to be the deputy general of the camp and had a wide range of knowledge, and his eyes widened when he heard this: "Li Dayan -- he is a blacksmith! What does this iron have to do with printing paper?" But he quickly shook his head: "Since Guo Dalu is doing this, there must be his reason - Zhou Laiyu, you can help Guo Dalu when you are free, even if it is good to help him do something." ”

Guo Dalu was hurrying to Li Dayan's house at this time, Li Dayan was squatting by the iron stove, stretching out his calloused hands, stroking a few knives, and muttering to himself: "Baby! Baby! What kind of stainless steel is it made of, it is stainless when exposed to water, I thought he was bragging, but I didn't expect to try to soak one of the knives in water a few days ago, and it was really not rusty at all! Grandpa, this is more magical than the Wuzi steel in the Western Regions! I have been striking iron for half my life, and I have never heard of iron tools that do not rust!"

"I think back then, when I went south to conquer the Yue Kingdom under the second prince's motor, it was because the army fought in the jungle rain, a large number of swords were rusty, and even the iron armor was rusted, so that the second prince was defeated and degraded, and our soldiers were also charged with a rebellion and sent to this far town. If we had this magic weapon made of stainless steel back then, where would we not be able to defeat the Yue Kingdom, we would have slaughtered all of them in Halong Bay-"

Li Dayan was staring at a few stainless steel knives with red eyes and drooling, and suddenly slapped his chest angrily: "Loser! It's really a loser! Such a magical stainless steel is actually used to make kitchen knives for cutting vegetables and killing chickens in the kitchen, and these knives are only used to peel fruit -- if Lao Tzu knew who was so violent, Lao Tzu would have to kill him with a hammer!
