Chapter 118 [The paper is out! 】
Shortly after leaving Baijiazhuang, the road became bumpy. A few stones of unknown origin suddenly appeared on the loess road crushed by carriages and horses, and wild flowers and grasses growing on both sides of the road. The Bai family did not have money to build roads, but Bai Dong was not concerned about it. He liked this kind of natural road. After seeing too many cement roads in later generations, he had a particularly pretentious stubbornness, thinking that natural things are good, just like beauties of this era, without makeup or plastic surgery, and bitter wine is called pure natural.
Bird wine was still blushing, and the husband's face became thicker and thicker, and his hands were not honest. Just because she couldn't fight, she was still groping her legs from the back to her waist. Bird wine's legs kept shaking, like slamming, it was not fear, it was shy and expecting. She knew that her legs were long, straight, and her skin was very slippery. She would always take care of her legs when she bathed alone, and she would look forward to being caressed by a pair of generous big hands like all girls. But when she was really happy, she would become shy and nervous. Brother Yi was right next to her. Isn't the gentleman afraid of being seen? She didn't dare to stop her. The husband said that he would not be called this in the future, and he would be called "Brother Dong" or "A Dong" and A Dong... Why does it feel more sour than the old jealous at home, and she couldn't even scream even if she suffocated.
Du Zhi sent someone to report the good news yesterday, saying that it might be a piece of paper today. Or maybe it would be? Bai Dong was a shameless person, so he didn't call his mother Cao'er today, and Bai Longye didn't inform him, so he brought bitter wine alone. Li Di wanted to follow him, saying that he was worried that Nie Zhu was not the only one who was the assassin. This was a problem that he had suffered after a long time in security work.
What a big valley... Bitter wine finally got rid of it. She gently pushed Bai Dong's hand away and jumped off the carriage quickly. The movements were as vigorous as a little swallow. The blushing face slightly returned to normal, but the taste here was not very good, her little nose wrinkled, and she looked at Bai Dong helplessly. She wanted to give up. No matter how you look at this valley, it looks like a big thatched house...
"This valley belongs to the Du family. I heard that Du Zhi bought it to be a place to rest in the future. The mountains and rivers are beautiful and the feng shui is excellent. But for our "paper making workshop", the smart Du Sikong still took the initiative to give up the valley. Let's go. Although the taste is not good, the things produced are excellent. If everything goes well, the first batch of "paper" will appear in our supermarket in a few days. Then you will be busy. In fact, if you ask me to say you don't have to work so hard, you won't listen."
"I like being busy, sir..."
"I said, don't call me a sir. It's okay to call Brother Dong, and I can also call you a sir. How nice it sounds?"
The unique shamelessness of modern people made Li Di look at him. He really wanted to jump off the horse and take Bai Dong's butt and kick it. The literati... You have to be handsome. If the couple wants to **, don't be in front of their brother-in-law, okay? There is no rules!
"Brother Dong." Bijiu still whispered. Bai Dong and Li Di immediately burst into laughter. Bijiu suddenly felt that his teeth were itchy and he hoped to bite people, because both of them were bad people.

The tolerance of the Qin Dynasty to the nobles and scholars made Du Zhi become more and more arrogant. During this period, Lao Ying was in a bad health and had never even held a grand dynasty meeting. He, Zuo Sikong, simply focused on the papermaking workshop, and was more curious and eager than anyone else, hoping to see what Bai Dong said about the "era of change". When Du Zhi thought that he could keep his name in history, he was a little excited.
He was very lucky, and the world was also very lucky because Bai Dong's arrival could directly skip the unpractical "bamboo paper" stage. The thing was very crispy, with limited ink absorption ability, and it was easy to break when used to wipe the butt, and he had to wash his hands when he turned around. Bai Dong's papermaking recipe was also obtained from the previous world. He once worked as a legal consultant in a township paper mill. In order to make an environmental pollution lawsuit, he familiarized the papermaking process. If conditions and resources allow him, he might be able to trick out "rice paper" for a few months. Unfortunately, this thing requires lime and alkali, and the process flow is relatively complicated, so he won't consider it for the time being. At present, the papermaking workshop is fully producing "white paper" that is more elastic, softer, and has stronger ink generations. Of course, this is not as good as the white paper in the true sense of later generations. In fact, it will be a little yellowed, just compared to bamboo paper.
After smelling it for a long time, I seem to get used to the pungent smell of the papermaking workshop. This kind of paper does not need to be added with lime in the true sense. It can be burned with lime, and it cannot be used for alkali. The taste is actually much lighter, but it is a bit dazzling, and the closer it is to the workshop, the more powerful it is. Fortunately, a craftsman who didn't know handed over the threadbare cloth to wrap his head and muttered: "Why don't you wrap it around quickly."
The three of them were honest and obedient, quickly wrapped around their mouths and noses, and looked at the workshop with red eyes. Bai Dong was still looking forward to it. Li Di and Kujiu really couldn't believe that something good would appear in such a place. They wanted to turn around and leave.
"The paper is out!"
Hearing someone screamed, the entire workshop was shaken. The first one to run out was Du Zhi. The same linen wrapped around his face and neck, with only two eyes exposed, like a resurrected mummy. Bai Dong waved at him. It took him a long time to recognize who the person in front of him. He didn't care about hello, and he knew to repeat: "Out, come out, he~ mother!" Li Di almost dared to recognize him. This is the gloomy and restrained old nobleman who goes out and eats meat when he goes out. He is all cursing!
"Let's go and see it, it's amazing!" Du Zhili ignored Li Di and pulled Bai Dong into the workshop.
The craftsmen were scooping paper in the trough. Seeing the curtain bed shaking a few times, the pulp paper was formed. They raised the curtain bed, flipped it and gently lifted it on the wooden board that was prepared in advance. A piece of scooped paper was basically formed. A skilled craftsman gently crushed it with a wooden drum. After initially removing the moisture, after several processes such as drying and drying, it is the last paper that can be used.
The recipe given by Bai Dong is very good. The paper produced is white and yellow. Although it is not as good as the best rice paper, it can be used to write and paste the windows. It is also tough. It is much better to use it to wipe the butt than to toilet. Since coming to Liyang, Bai Dong wants his mother and Cao'er to use cloth to go to the toilet, but his mother is unwilling to do so, so he scolded him fiercely. Cao'er dared not use it. This is a life-saving thing, which can completely solve the butt problem.
He placed a low table and a chair in the nearby workshop and made a pot of tea. Du Zhi didn't even change his clothes. Except for his face and hands, he looked pretty white and tender, and he was an authentic old craftsman. Li Di sighed a little: "I didn't expect Du Sikong to have such a side, which is surprising."
"Haha, Guanzhu Li doesn't know that he can't wear deep clothes or crowns here; and Du is very curious about the papermaking method of the five doctors. If he wants to experience it personally, he naturally has to dress up like this. The workshop was just started, everything is simple, but the tea is good. Come on, I respect the official master and the five doctors. Is this a bitter wine girl? I have long heard that he is a good helper of the five doctors, and Du also respects the girls..."
This is a versatile villain. From the time he saw Bijiu, Du Zhi looked at him. He was a real person who had been through it. There were seven concubines in the family, and he could not see the tricks of Bai Dong and Bijiu? Today is the important day when the paper was released the day before. Bai Dong brought this bitter girl. It can be seen that he has a strong position in his heart. If he wants to do a good job with the Bai family in the future, this girl must be flattered.
Villains are often more likable than gentlemen. The four of them raise their glasses happily. Perhaps they are happy to make paper, and the pungent smell seems to be weaker. More than half an hour later, someone sent a pen and ink and a stack of white paper. Du Zhi took it and grind the ink, holding the pen and looking at Bai Dong in his hand: "Five doctors, is this the first word you wrote or Du?" He was very scheming. Although he recognized his brothers in private, it was not a blood-splitting friendship. In front of Li Di, he still only called an official title and did not make friends. This is an enlightenment that only the old officialdom has been immersed in his bones and cannot be learned by others.
"What, can you write on this thing?"
Although Li Di was a martial artist, he knew what this would mean, and his face tightened. He stood up with a bitter wine, and only heard from his husband that paper is a matter of literature and could be written instead of bamboo slips. Once this thing came out, it had a profound impact, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. She was a girl from a business family, and her sense of smell was more sensitive than her brother, and she was even more excited than Bai Dong and Du Zhi.
"Hehe, Brother Du has worked so hard and outstandingly, it must be the first achievement. Of course, you will write the first word."
Bai Dong laughed. The villain was inclusive of profit, and giving him enough face to the monarch and his close ministers was the greatest benefit. He was not afraid of the Du surnamed Du, and did not work hard... (To be continued...)
