Soon after, the system treasure chest appeared on the light screen.
Gu Xuan opened the treasure chest directly.
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining: one ton of cherry wine, five hundred catties of crystal rice wine, three hundred catties of ice heart begonia wine, ten catties of five thousand years tea, and a complete guide to ancient costume making."
"Hey, the cherry wine is pretty good, and the rice wine is even better. The tea is perfect, but Nangong Jin has already used it all up."
Seeing Bingxin Haitangzui puzzled him.
"Bingxin Begonia Wine is brewed with begonia."
After carefully reading the message, I understood.
"It is indeed made from crabapple blossoms, but it is made from crabapple fruits after the crabapple blossoms have fallen. The taste is quite good."
Gu Xuan nodded.
Let's look at the last one: a complete guide to ancient costume production.
"This is a book that is just right for the five sisters."
I took out the complete guide to ancient costume production and glanced at it.
The production process is very detailed, including both folk production methods and specialized court production methods.
The thick book contains very clear records, which can be said to encompass the ancient costume making techniques spanning five thousand years.
"That's really good."
Gu Xuan sighed and said something.
"The fruit wine and rice wine can be put out first, as these two have a low alcohol content and are suitable for most people. The Ice Heart Begonia wine has a higher alcohol content, but there isn't much of it, so let's put it aside for now."
They took some of the wine and put it in a warehouse some distance away.
Bingxin Haitang kept it only in her own wine cellar.
A complete guide to making period costumes is placed on the table.
Go cook.
Before long, the group got up.
The five sisters came to the dining table.
I picked up the books on the table and glanced at them.
I was immediately drawn to this book.
"Come and take a look, everyone."
The five sisters huddled together to carefully examine the books.
"This book contains all the designs, details, and production methods of period costumes. It's so valuable. The boss made it."
"It seems so."
Gu Xuan walked out of the kitchen.
The group suddenly looked at Gu Xuan.
He said excitedly.
"Boss, this book."
Gu Xuan looked at the group and said with a smile.
"This is for you."
Golden light shone in the eyes of the five people.
"real."
"Of course it's true."
This made them even more excited.
"That's great! This book records all the methods for making period costumes, and it's very comprehensive. It can completely replicate perfect period costumes."
"That's right, I can perfectly replicate ancient costumes."
"It can even be innovated upon."
Gu Xuan nodded.
"Then keep up the good work. Maybe many people will need to order period costumes from you in the future."
The group stared at Gu Xuan with curiosity.
Why do you say that?
"You'll understand later."
"All right."
Gu Xuan had this idea for a long time.
"We're taking this book."
"Sure, but aren't you going back to pack today?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot, we're going back today; we still have a lot of things there."
"Um."
The group nodded.
Feixue continued.
"Hey boss, can I borrow your car?"
"Sure, there are vans downstairs, you can just drive them away."
"Thank you, boss. We'll bring everything we packed."
"You are not far apart."
Gu Xuan was a little curious that these people had actually driven here.
"Yes, it's in the city next door, but not Haicheng."
"The neighboring city, I understand."
Not far from Haicheng is another city, but this city requires bypassing the location of the "Fairyland on Earth" and crossing the river bridge upstream to reach it.
Although the straight-line distance is only 200 kilometers, it is a bit troublesome to take a detour.
It might take a day to go there and back.
"Be careful on your way back. Don't worry, we'll arrange your accommodation here."
"Um."
After the five finished breakfast, they went downstairs and drove back to pack their things.
Nangong Jin, on the other hand, got up slowly.
She didn't see the five sisters after she got up.
"Where are the five sisters?"
"They're gone."
Nangong Jin was taken aback.
"You chased them away, how could you do that?"
Nangong Jin was a little angry.
Gu Xuan frowned slightly.
"When did I say I drove them away?"
"Then they went back early this morning."
"They went back to pack their things, they were moving here, and then they drove off."
"Understood."
She was relieved after hearing Gu Xuan's explanation.
After finishing breakfast, Nangong Jin continued with her work.
Gu Xuan sat at the table.
What should we do today?
He stroked his chin and thought for a while.
"By the way, I only have one calligraphy brush, which can be used to make several more. I also have ink, which the mineral system provided, but it still needs to be processed into usable mineral pigments."
With this idea in mind, I went to the back of the mountain and sat down at the stone table.
They brought out sandalwood, rosewood, and Hainan rosewood.
"Use these three types of wood to make calligraphy brushes."
"Next comes the paint."
Looking at the ore laid out in front of me.
There are a total of eighteen types of mineral pigments.
However, only a few types are commonly used, such as cinnabar, realgar, orpiment, malachite, azurite, lapis lazuli, and mica.
I've selected several key types and intend to use them to create a painting.
Get everything ready.
Start the live stream directly.
Good morning, Brother Xuan.
Good morning, anchor.
"What is Brother Xuan planning to do today? I see a lot of things prepared on the table."
What's on the table?
It looks like ore.
'ore?'
Many people are curious.
Gu Xuan explained.
"These are indeed ores, used to make pigments."
'Mineral pigments, the streamer is so extravagant.'
This stuff is so expensive.
That's right.
"We'll make a few calligraphy brushes today, and then we'll make some mineral pigments."
Take out the sandalwood.
"What I have in my hand is sandalwood, which is used to carve pen holders."
After hearing that it was sandalwood, the number of comments in the live stream increased.
'Did I hear that right? Sandalwood.'
'This thing must be expensive.'
'It is indeed very expensive, but the most expensive is probably sandalwood.'
'Sandalwood is a fragrance, so it can't be used for pen barrels.'
'really.'
Gu Xuan smiled and said.
“I also have sandalwood here.”
"Wow, the anchor is Versailles."
'I'm going to sneak over.'
'I'll go too.'
I'm right here.
"No, I was wrong."
He quickly apologized.
The viewers in the live stream actually got excited.
'The anchor got scared, he started pressing.'
"No, okay, let's make the pen first."
Cut sandalwood into appropriate lengths and widths.
Then begin carving with a carving knife.
The carving process is very particular, ensuring a comfortable grip.
In half an hour, the carving of a pen barrel was completed.
After looking at it carefully, it's indeed quite good.
Then, they used the remaining two materials to carve several calligraphy brushes.
More than an hour has passed.
After carving the pen barrel, we move on to the pen tip.
Two types of hair were prepared for the brush tip: one was wolf hair, which is made from the hair of a weasel and has a certain stiffness; the other was sheep hair.
Both materials are ready.
Wolf hair and sheep hair require numerous processing steps.
Only then can the production of a pen be completed.
After the pen tip is made, it is integrated with the pen barrel.
Once these steps are completed, the brush is finished.
The production process is quite complicated.
It took an hour to make one pen.
After finishing it, I demonstrated it in the live stream.
"Alright, the calligraphy brush is finished."
