Jiang Xue shook her head. If she didn't have these two, then there was nothing. With the first two, she should be able to make paper.
What's more, the earliest paper was made from bamboo that had just been cut down from the mountains.
When Jiang Xue thought of bamboo, her eyes lit up. Since bamboo could be used, the bamboo scraps left over from Asongbo and others' weaving should also be used to make paper. Moreover, the effect would definitely be the same if fresh bamboo and these bamboo scraps were used.
Who knows, the time could be shortened even more!
Jiang Xue is a person of action. Once she has an idea, she will definitely make it come true.
So, over the next few days, she began to collect the wood shavings and bark that the carpenters had scraped off when making furniture, and the bamboo scraps that Asongbai and his team had cut off after weaving...
As long as she thought it could be used to make paper, she would try to collect it.
Generally speaking, papermaking can be divided into several steps: cutting hemp, washing, soaking in lime water, steaming, pounding, pulping, papermaking, and drying.
It will probably take at least two to three months to complete this entire process.
Moreover, Jiang Xue also has to look for limestone.
When it comes to finding a stone, I can only ask Ah San for help.
If it weren't for Asan, the stone-playing master, the tribe would not have entered the Iron Age so quickly.
As for where to ferment these raw materials, Jiang Xue already had a perfect place.
That was the trench she dug when she first came to the tribe.
This trench is of little use now. All we need to do is block the outlet of the canal with something to prevent the raw materials from flowing in.
When Jiang Xue thought of this, she couldn't help but praise herself as a genius.
The trench was originally used to defend against the enemy, but now it can help her so much. She was extremely excited when she thought about it.
The mouth of the canal is not big, but since it is connected to the pond on the other side of the charcoal kiln and is close to the well in the valley, getting water is not a problem at all.
Just use a large backpack to block the mouth of the canal so as not to hinder the normal use of the canal.
She immediately poured all the raw materials she had collected for several days into the trench.
Then he found Ah San and told him his whole intention.
Ah San stared at her in astonishment: "Xue Wu, what exactly is this limestone you're talking about?"
Jiang Xue slapped her forehead. Oh my God, how come he doesn’t even know about limestone!
Jiang Xue had pictures for reference, but he didn't.
As a last resort, Jiang Xue had to drag him and start looking for limestone all over the mountains again.
Finding limestone was a difficult task. Jiang Xue wore out countless pairs of straw sandals before she finally found a natural limestone about three miles away from the tribe.
She looked at the limestone and was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Asan, we found it!"
After wandering around the area for more than ten days, Jiang Xue finally saw the exposed natural limestone mine. How could she not be excited?
Ah San looked at the limestone in front of him with a puzzled look in his eyes. "This is limestone? You should have told me earlier. I have been here countless times."
When Jiang Xue heard his complaints, she was so angry that the corners of her mouth trembled.
Now is not the time to argue with him. What she needs to do now is to take all these stones back, burn them with fire, and turn them into real lime!
