Chapter 325 The first batch of toilet paper is out
However, she only saw guests leaving in groups of two or three, and there was nothing unusual, so she didn't pay any more attention to it.
It turned out that Li Qian had withdrawn his gaze before she noticed, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
That night, many people were so drunk that they woke up with hangover headaches the next day.
Xiao Ying felt refreshed. After breakfast, she asked someone to call the sixteen servants who were rewarded this time. She had not yet learned about these people's backgrounds.
In the hall, sixteen people stood in two rows, similar in configuration to the first group of twelve people.
There were still two maids and two stewards, and six maids and six servants.
The two maids were named Chunrong and Chungui. They were both extremely proficient in etiquette and were in charge of the household. They also knew a little about running the shop.
The two stewards were named Fuqing and Fukang. They were both good housekeepers and had no problem serving guests and managing affairs.
The six maids were named Shuyue, Wantang, Tingxue, Zhenshu, Zhiyan and Zisu.
The six servants are Junshi, Lifeng, Wensong, Zangmo, Yuechuan and Mingzhu.
As you might expect, each of these people has a special skill.
Meals, grooming, martial arts, learning, business, medicine...
They are the talents that Xiao Ying needs most.
So according to their specialties, Xiao Ying assigned them different tasks.
Among them, Chunrong, Fukang, Wantang and Mingzhu were temporarily assigned to take care of Ouyang Xun's group.
The main thing is to take care of their food and clothing, and you don’t need to worry too much about other things.
Several of the officials each brought a servant with them, who took care of the daily chores.
As for those craftsmen who were not officials, their lives were not so elaborate and they had long been accustomed to taking care of themselves.
In addition, Chungui and Zhiyan were sent to take care of the farm.
This time, the emperor rewarded her with a thousand acres of fertile land, which were divided into three farms.
They were all taken over by the county government after their previous owners had their homes confiscated or were exiled. Xiao Ying had never seen them in person.
Then came Fuqing and Wensong, who were sent by her to the printing workshop to assist Li Qian.
She knew that Li Qian would leave sooner or later, so she had to hurry up and support her people to take the position.
Shu Yue and Li Feng, who were good at martial arts, were sent to the martial arts school. In this way, there were six masters in the school, including two female masters who could teach girls.
The talented Zhenshu was sent to the academy to take over Li Qingfeng's teaching of the female class.
Zi Su, who is good at medicine, went to the clinic. The clinic was in great need of female doctors. Before, there was only Luo Yuelian, and now the gap has been filled.
Xiao Ying assigned Zang Mo to the papermaking workshop. Now there was only Qingyu in charge of the papermaking workshop, and he was busy all day long. It would be one more person to help in the future.
The Food Workshop also added Yuechuan to fill the vacancy left by Li Qian.
Finally, there were Tingxue and Junshi. Tingxue stayed at home temporarily to cook delicious food for her, while Junshi was responsible for supervising the construction of the new house.
Don’t waste any of them.
After receiving the order, everyone immediately packed up and went to different places.
Almost no one was dissatisfied because Xiao Ying basically assigned tasks according to their expertise.
Moreover, compared to staying in the house to serve, they also want to make use of their strengths.
However, everyone was secretly surprised. They seemed to have underestimated this Yiren. He actually had so many businesses, many of which were unheard of and unseen!
"Now Madam doesn't have to worry about not having talented people to use."
After the sixteen people left, Kang Ruolan smiled and joked.
"Yes, these people are really timely."
Xiao Ying also smiled, and she secretly thought that this was a good way to gather talents.
It seems that she will have to make more achievements in the future so that the emperor can reward her with more talents.
"Madam, Qingyu is here."
Just then, He Changgui came to report.
"Let him in."
Xiao Ying's heart moved. Qingyu came here at this time. Could something have happened in the papermaking workshop?
A man soon walked in from outside the door. He was a young man under 20 years old, and it was Qingyu.
"Meet the madam."
Qingyu looked a little excited, holding the two boxes tightly in his hands, with a look of joy on his face.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Ying knew that it must be a good thing and couldn't help but feel relieved.
"No need to be polite." Xiao Ying asked curiously, "Is it made of paper?"
"Nothing can be hidden from Madam!"
Qingyu couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately became overjoyed, his face flushed, and he placed the two boxes on the table.
He quickly opened the two lids, as carefully as if he were offering a treasure.
"Madam, please look, these two boxes contain toilet paper!"
"The first box has a yellowish, hard texture. It's the kind of toilet paper Madam mentioned, specifically for going to the bathroom."
"The ones in the second box are whiter and softer, suitable for daily use."
"Both types of paper are made from wheat straw. Gu Yixian and others have experimented with this many times, and this is the most successful one!"
As he spoke, Xiao Ying had already taken out the papers from the two boxes and looked at them with a look of approval.
As Qingyu said, the toilet paper is yellowish, hard, and quite thick, so it can be used for defecation.
The other one is better for daily use. It uses bamboo charcoal to absorb pigments, making the skin look much whiter, but it is also quite thick.
It seems that she has to keep working hard to achieve the effect she wants.
But it is already very good that Gu Yixian and others can achieve this level in such a short time.
Her papermaking workshop has three kinds of raw materials: one is wheat straw, which comes from the Immortal Palace and is considered waste utilization.
The advantage of this material is that the soaking time is short, and the entire papermaking process only takes about ten days.
The second type is trees, including bark, mainly from the mountains she bought them from.
This kind of paper takes a long time, at least three or four months, and the materials are still soaking.
The third type is bamboo. The advantage of this material is that it grows extremely fast and there is no need to worry about it running out.
But the disadvantage is that the papermaking cycle is extremely long, at least six or seven months.
The latter two can be used to make writing paper, but it will take at least a year to see the results.
Xiao Ying was not in a hurry. If the toilet paper made of wheat straw was up to standard, he could sell it first.
"The paper is too thick and hard, and not flexible or smooth enough."
Xiao Ying put the paper back into the box and pointed out the flaws.
Qingyu's smile froze, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head. His wife seemed dissatisfied.
Then Xiao Ying added, "However, being able to achieve this in such a short time is already very good. It can be seen that you are all very serious and hardworking. You deserve to be rewarded."
"Everyone will receive an extra 500 wen in wages this month, and you and Gu Yixian will receive an extra 1 tael of silver."
"Thank you, Madam!"
Qingyu immediately became excited again, his heart feeling like it was on a roller coaster.
After the excitement, they felt guilty and grateful. The lady was so good to them, they must work harder to improve and never let her down.
"Please rest assured, Madam. We will continue to work hard to make better toilet paper!"
"Toilet paper, what is that?"
As soon as Qingyu left, Ning Leshu walked in, his eyes full of curiosity.
My daughter has so many secrets.
