Qi Qiqi, the braised pork elbow, was chewing maltose and greeting the newcomers in his class with a playful smile, while he reached out to lift the bamboo curtain and entered the burning room.
The bamboo curtain rose, and two cold poker faces, one old and one young, appeared before our eyes at the same time.
The malt sugar was so scared that it slid down the throat and into the stomach.
“Cough cough cough—cough cough cough—”
Qiqiqi clung to the door frame and was about to cough out his lungs.
The fire room was silent.
After a while, Zhou Ergou used up all his wisdom in his life and tried to help Qi Qi Qi with desperate courage, "How come you come to work when you have such a bad cough!"
""You are so diligent and hardworking. You deserve to be the first one among this group of newcomers to have a good score!"
"Pa pa pa——" Zhou Ergou applauded enthusiastically for Qiqiqi!
Zheng Er also clapped happily.
Xianjin: ...There is always a friend in the world who can smell and understand all your farts.
"What are you standing there for? If you want to come in, find a place to stand!" Li Sanshun instructed Qi Qiqi, turned his head uncomfortably, and said in a heavy tone, "Everyone, take your positions, and do it again! 35% straw and 75% bark, and the paper glue is three points thicker. Let's start for the first time!"
Fortunately, the Jixi workshop had built more than a dozen pulp pools, which were originally intended to be Chen's training base. Xianjin demolished several useless buildings to support her to expand the scene. When Mrs. Qu came, she was very puzzled by her layout and even gossiped about it, saying "She jumped around with two copper coins in her hands, knocking and repairing good places, repairing and knocking..."
Now it seems that as long as you play every move carefully, you will eventually become the general.
In order to make paper that is more suitable for test papers, Xianjin even called a construction workshop to re-divide one of the large pools and use bricks and tiles to split it into nine small pools. Every other small pool was filled with paper pulp, and the adjacent grids were large enough to accommodate two people standing opposite each other.
It is equivalent to Xianjin making a small experimental pool, which can save the investment in pulp, reduce the time for changing pulp, and save the energy of papermakers.
If it were in his previous life, Xianjin would only think, "It's just a piece of paper, not some high-tech, why bother doing an experiment?" and he would probably enter the business world with this mentality.
Today we have witnessed the interweaving and brilliance of craftsmen and time, which have created this piece of Xuan paper that is as thin as a cicada's wing and as green as a jade cup.
Xianjin just wants to go all out in every category, every opportunity, and every piece of paper to do its best - to always leave something for future generations.
She poured thoughts from thousands of years into this era like ink into the sea.
Similarly, if you give me a wooden peach, I will give you a jade pendant in return. This era also gives back to her with its awe of culture, craftsmanship and faith.
As Li Sanshun blew the horn, everyone took their positions. Li Sanshun and Zhou Ergou were in charge of the curtain using a specially made square rolling curtain. The two were very skilled in scooping out paper. They swung left and right in the pulp trough, and the pulp settled on the curtain, forming a thin layer. The rice paper became visible from being invisible, and the rolling curtain spread out a layer of moist and even pulp onto the bamboo frame on the ground.
Zheng Erzheng shouted loudly, and with a "bang" the huge rock rolled onto the pulp sheet.
After the water was squeezed out, Zhao Dezheng quickly peeled off the layer of pulp, and used a natural pine needle brush in his right hand to brush the thin rice paper on the high-temperature lime-baked surface to dry it.
The paper drying process has been simplified.
The paper was small and did not test the skills of the paper maker. Zhao Dezheng brushed the rice paper on the fire wall with two brushes. The high temperature of the fire wall dried the rice paper quickly and also evaporated the kiwi vine juice in the process of scooping the paper to prevent the paper from turning yellow in the future.
Xianjin walked closer to the fire wall, reached out and lifted up a corner of the paper. After groping with his fingertips for a while, he dipped his fingertips in a drop of water and sprinkled it on the edge of the paper.
The water spread quickly on the paper, and soon it turned into a vivid flower.
Mi Fu must have liked this kind of paper very much...
Mi Fu did not like to use paper that had been sizing applied. “I would not paint a single stroke on silk without sizing the paper.” After all, “Mi-style landscapes” were his signature style. When painting landscapes, he could paint thousands of miles with one stroke.
There is nothing wrong with drawing, writing and doing art, but doing papers in the exam-oriented education is too dizzying.
It is bound to ruin several candidates who cannot control the strength of their writing.
Xianjin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm going to be scolded to death."
Li Sanshun squatted outside the burning room and took a puff of his pipe. "Let's not make raw rice paper, let's make cooked rice paper!"
Zhou Ergou blurted out, "Cooked rice paper needs to be brushed with alum. When the paper comes into contact with alum water, it will turn yellow and break easily, making it difficult to preserve. It will become brittle after a few decades!"
If you want to preserve it for a long time, you can only use raw rice paper.
To meet the requirements of showing gold without smudging and being tough and resilient, only cooked rice paper can be used.
One goes to the left and the other goes to the right, they are completely going in opposite directions.
Everyone fell into deep thought.
Old Li was squatting and smoking a pipe. From a distance, he looked like a depressed chimney.
Zhou Ergou frowned, crossed his arms across his chest, and fell into deep thought.
Zheng Er leaned on Zhou Ergou's back, lowered his head, and wondered what he was thinking.
There are many types of paper.
There are three major categories: raw xuan paper, cooked xuan paper, and semi-cooked xuan paper. This is a classification determined by the production process; and due to the different proportions of raw materials, it is divided into three major categories: cotton material, pure skin, and special pure skin...
Not to mention jade plates, clear hearts, quilted paper, powder paper... there are countless subcategories, and if you count carefully, there are probably hundreds of them.
But it is worth noting that these categories have been accumulated since the Tang and Song dynasties and are the wisdom of our predecessors.
However, there have been very few innovative products in recent years.
In recent years, everyone in Xuancheng seems to have hit a bottleneck period, and the creation of Xuan paper has stagnated and it is difficult to come up with new ideas.
Of the three major families in Xuancheng, Hengji blamed it on internal strife, the Bai family on backwardness, and the Chen family on lack of ambition.
