Chapter 533
There are really a variety of papers to be made of leaf fruit.
She not only wants to make her original color paper, but also wants to make all kinds of colored paper.
That is, processing the paper and dyeing it with color.
However, the first batches of paper she planned to make were ordinary book paper, but they were better than ordinary book paper here and had a lower price.
Why is the price low?
That's because the cost of this paper is not high, and she will use "paper medicine". One of the functions of paper medicine is to increase the paper-forming rate.
And no one here knows this paper medicine.
The papermaking technology here is really too backward.
In other words, for the same pulp, the people here can only make fifty pieces of paper, but after she added paper medicine to the pulp, she may make one hundred pieces.
But in fact, this paper medicine is actually the water infusion liquid of hollyhock stem leaves, star fruit vine, hibiscus leaves, and wild grapes. The water infusion liquid of these things is viscous. Adding it to the pulp during papermaking can improve the suspension performance of the fibers and also make the paper fibers evenly distributed.
Improving paper-forming rate is just one of its functions.
As for such an important part of paper medicine, Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai did not intend to tell everyone in the workshop, but only told a few managers in the workshop.
The fewer people know, the better.
Although this is an indispensable part, it doesn't need everyone to know.
The same is true for other details, only a few managers know.
As for the reason why Ye Guoguo made ordinary book paper first, one is that this kind of paper will be very popular in the future because of many bookstores printing books; the other is that this kind of paper is also easy to make. No one in the workshop can make paper, and even if they know the general process, they are hand-made and cannot be proficient in operation. Therefore, we will make a few batches of paper first so that everyone can get familiar with it.
When everyone becomes skillful, they will create other papers later.
There were two or three hundred people in the workshop, and everyone prepared together. No matter how many things they prepared, they could prepare in a few days. Then, Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai ignored it and threw it to Jian Yushu, the general manager, to take care of it.
The flow charts and details were naturally told to Jian Yushu.
Jian Yushu took several other managers to discuss and assign their respective jobs. Then, on the ninth day of October, the workshop began to make paper according to the flow chart.
The flow chart not only has clear pictures, but also text explanations. It is very clear anyway. Just follow the flow chart. This is the first time everyone is not skilled in making paper.
But it's better to get used to it.
Just make it a few more times.
Ye Guoguo didn't care about anything about the workshop, so she took her husband to see the rice in her terraced fields. The rice was already yellow, and at most ten days would be harvested.
The rice grows so well that even Ye Guoguo himself did not expect it.
She originally thought that the harvest would not be very good when she planted the first time she had cultivated the land.
It's worth noting that she spent most of her energy on taking care of this terrace.
Looking at this terraced field that was about to be harvested, Ye Guoguo thought of the harvesting scene. It is impossible to mechanize the harvesting of rice here, mainly because there is no such condition.
She has the strength and doesn't have to worry about fighting rice.
It is to raise rice, remove grass clips from the rice, and to sag the rice...
If there is wind, the rice that has been harvested will rise to the sky, and the grass clippings and shaggy rice will naturally be blown away, but if there is no wind, it will be miserable...
Thinking of this, Ye Guoguo quickly said to her husband: "My husband, we are going to find Carpenter Yao to make a windmill, so that we will not be limited by the wind, so that we will not be able to raise the rice at that time."
