Su Ningjie thought about using toilet paper. "Mom, paper seems to be used for writing. The paper you bought costs dozens of coins a sheet. It seems too expensive to use it for toilet. I'd rather use bamboo slips."
Su Ningan took out a handkerchief from his bosom and said, "It's expensive to use paper to wipe your mouth. I still use the handkerchief made by my mother to wipe my mouth, and then wash it before using it. Paper seems to rot when it gets wet, and it can't be reused like a handkerchief."
Xiao Lingyu said, "The paper in Qingyun Bookstore is made from logs. It takes a long time for the wood to grow back, so it's very expensive. Making paper from bamboo is different. Bamboo only grows back in a few months, and it doesn't damage the forest, so the price is naturally lower."
Seeing the brothers' disapproval, Xiao Lingyu said, "Well, we'll make toilet paper and use it ourselves. We won't tell anyone else. The paper we make doesn't cost money anyway."
Xiao Lingyu thought that it might be difficult to promote bamboo paper to the people of Beiyi and let them use it to wipe their mouths and go to the toilet. The deep-rooted feudal ideas were there, and she was not stupid enough to brainwash them.
It mainly produces paper used for compiling books and writing on the market. Bamboo paper has a price advantage over wood pulp paper and is of better quality.
She was the first to capture the scholar market with bamboo paper, and made the wealthy families use her "Yuzhi" brand bamboo paper.
This is a long-term sustainable business, so we must do it well.
Su Ningan asked, "Can bamboo paper be used to print picture albums?"
"Of course it can. It can be used not only for printing picture albums, but also for printing books and painting. You'll know once the paper is made."
Su Ningjie said, "Mother, is the money we earned enough to buy a bamboo forest?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "I'll go to the government office tomorrow and buy it. We'll build a house, a paper mill, grow medicinal herbs, and open up an orchard. We'll start all of this together. Big brother, you can go with me to the county tomorrow, and you, second brother, will stay home and look after the house. Can you handle this?"
Su Ningjie said, "No problem, I can do it. I still need to pick peppers and dry them. However, the backpacks are still not enough. Mom will buy a few more big backpacks tomorrow."
"good."
…
“Pah.”
A crimson carrier pigeon landed on the windowsill of Si Chuyu's study.
Wei Xiao said, "Sir, the Si family has sent word that the century-old ginseng was delivered to a noble in the capital some time ago."
Si Chuyu frowned slightly, "Has Baoshantang received any century-old ginseng these days?"
"My dear, our people came back and said that it has been a long time since any hunters have gone there to deliver rare medicinal herbs, let alone this century-old ginseng. The mountains around Xishui County that can be entered have basically been dug up by the villagers. We can only wait."
Si Chuyu frowned. His grandfather only had three months left, and he couldn't wait any longer.
"Wei Xiao, go find out if there are any deep forests in the mountains surrounding Xishui County that the villagers dare not enter. We can take some people in to take a look."
Wei Xiao thought that even if there were such deep mountains and old forests, it might not be possible to find a century-old ginseng.
"Okay, uncle, I'll go find out right away."
Si Chuyu left the study and went to Lu Yao's yard. From afar, he saw Nanny Sumin closing the door lightly and walking out of the room.
Si Chuyu waved his hand, and Nanny Sumin came over quickly, "Sir, this old servant has already coaxed the Second Young Lady to sleep."
Si Chuyu asked softly, "Second Miss, how are you this morning?"
Nanny Sumin said, "My dear, the Second Miss was very quiet today. She just sat in the yard in a daze, and from time to time she would ask about the Master, the Madam, the Eldest Miss, and the Old Master."
"ah……"
Suddenly a scream was heard in the room.
"Second Miss."
"Sister Yao'er."
Nanny Sumin rushed into the room and immediately held down Lu Yao's hands which were slapping her head hard.
Lu Yao looked at the person in horror, "Blood, so much blood, you are a bad guy, go away."
Lu Yao didn't know where she got the strength from, but she grabbed Su Min's collar with her backhand and scratched and slapped her hard.
"You bad man, murderer, I'll beat you to death."
"Second Miss, that was a dream. There was no bad guy. It was the old slave, the old slave."
The head maid Qiao Yun, along with Dong Mei and several other maids, arrived in time and rescued Nanny Su Min from Lu Yao's clutches.
Several maids held Lu Yao's shoulders, legs and waist, and it took a lot of effort to calm her down.
Si Chuyu said: "Okay, all of you let go."
Lu Yao was freed, and in panic she took off the hairpin on her head and hid in the corner of the bed, holding the sharp hairpin in both hands and pointing it at Si Chuyu and others.
"Who are you? Why are you running into my room? Are you planning to harm me while my sister and brother-in-law are away?"
Si Chuyu was very sad to see this. Lu Yao had been drinking Du Qingfeng's prescription for several days, but her condition did not improve but became worse.
In the past, when Sister Yaoer had nightmares, she would still recognize him. Fortunately, A Yuan was not there and did not see this scene.
Si Chuyu took a step forward and said softly:
"Sister Yao'er, I am your brother-in-law and will protect you. No one will hurt you. Be good, put down your hairpin and lie down to rest. Your sister will be back later."
Lu Yao frowned and looked at Si Chuyu carefully. "You are talking nonsense. My brother-in-law is not as old as you. You are a bad person. Get out of here, get out now."
Si Chuyu was delighted when she heard this. Sister Yaoer seemed to be getting better. She actually found that she looked older and more mature than a few years ago.
"Okay, okay, let's all go out."
After Si Chuyu took Su Min and others out, Lu Yao staggered out of bed, bolted the door, closed the windows, opened the closet and hid inside.
Lu Yao hid in the small, dark space, muttering something to herself...
Perhaps because she was too frightened, or perhaps because no bad guys came in, Lu Yao closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep in the closet.
