Chapter 102 Papermaking (asking for monthly ticket)
Because the remuneration of each company was different, Xu Zhong made a request, which was that when working, the remuneration of each company should not be disclosed.
Although it was not stated explicitly, it was implied that what he gave to Yuncun was a bit low.
It's not that he wanted to give such a low price, it's really because they are from Yun Village...
Village chief Tong Na patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to tell me this. I know it's hard to describe the people in Yun Village. I heard from people who came back that the people in Yun Village are not active in their work and don't want to build a mountain temple at all. If it weren't for the mountain temple, no one in our village would want to do it."
People say that the people in Yun Village are sick. They don't enjoy their good lives and insist on delaying time. It's like they are mentally ill.
After a few words of persuasion, the people in their village were no longer willing to deal with the people from Yun Village.
Let them do whatever they want, as long as they build the mountain temple in the end, they will just get paid.
If it weren't for the mountain god and the reward...
Xu Zhong's words were stuck in his throat.
He also didn't expect that what happened in Yun Village would spread to the three villages so quickly. But it's also true that Ming Qi traveled between the three villages, and the people in Yilan Village and Nanxi Village were also connected. No wonder they were able to know the situation in Yun Village so quickly.
Knowing that his village was poor, Xu Zhong did not plan to build a large mountain temple. Instead, he picked the best house in the village, replaced the walls and roof, repaired it, and used it as a mountain temple first.
When the village has the conditions in the future, we will build a better one for the Mountain God.
Yang Xiangwei: “Yes!”
Xu Zhong knelt on the pillow and knocked his head loudly. He felt as if something was flowing in his heart. He felt moved and surprised.
His eyes were a little moist.
He knew that the Mountain God was kind, but he didn't expect Him to be so kind.
The current mountain god temple is already dilapidated enough, and the one he built will be even more dilapidated and smaller. The mountain god also approved his construction plan.
He swore in his heart: Lord Mountain God, just wait, I will definitely build the best mountain temple for you in the future!
Hearing Xu Zhong's prayer, Yang Xiangwei couldn't help but laugh.
Mountain temples and the like have little impact on Him. What really affects Him is the incense. No matter it is magnificent or dilapidated, the most important thing is that there are people who believe in it and worship it.
The mountain temple had limited influence on Him, but for this group of disciples, the impact was huge. After all, once the mountain temple is built, it will be a natural defensive weapon. Its size and building materials will determine the scope and strength of its future defense.
He had emphasized this issue before, but apparently they did not understand it thoroughly enough, thinking that how this thing was built reflected their "sincerity" and affected His strength.
That’s why Xu Zhong was so “touched” when he saw that He agreed.
Forget it. When they experience it themselves in the future, they will understand.
Yang Xiangwei didn't say much. After dealing with Xu Zhong's affairs, she returned to Huangshan to continue refining his things.
The villages at the foot of the mountain were busy, and Huangshan was also starting to become lively.
Bai Guo not only took over the "papermaking task" assigned by Yang Xiangwei, but also took over Tang Xiaolian's educational task. There is no way, who can blame the fact that there are not many people on Mount Huangshan?
Yang Xiangwei didn't want to take care of the child, and Lord Ruheshen seemed to be indifferent to everything. Apart from Baiguo, there was no one else on Mount Huangshan.
As for Green Hair and Old Deer, one can talk and the other can't even speak. Can they really take care of children well?
At most, he is Tang Xiaolian's playmate.
If Baiguo hadn't reminded her, Yang Xiangwei would have almost forgotten that there was a little child in the mountains, and she also had an old and frail grandmother.
Yang Xiangwei: “…”
Should He let Tang Xiaolian return to the village?
Forget it, I'd better not go back. The mountains are full of goblins, and they need a few humans to teach them how to get along with humans.
They don’t understand how “fragile” humans are. They are so clumsy, what if they hurt people?
Baiguo became the "neighbors" of Tang Xiaolian's grandmother and grandson.
The moso bamboo spirit, the tung bamboo spirit, the flat bamboo spirit, the paper mulberry tree spirit, the Huangshan mountain rowan spirit, the kiwi tree spirit...this group of plant spirits that can make paper were all called over by Baiguo. Although they did not work efficiently, many of them were still in a confused state.
But that’s okay, as long as they can peel their own skin.
As for other things that were too delicate and that they couldn't handle, Bai Guo gave them to Tang Xiaolian's grandmother, also known as Grandma Tang.
"Grandma Tang, I'm going to trouble you again today!"
Baiguo smiled gently.
Although Grandma Tang is old, her health has improved a lot after moving to Huangshan. There was no shortage of food in the mountains, and with Green Hair and Old Deer leading the way, she and her grandson never felt hungry since they entered the mountains.
Grandma Tang was startled by the sudden appearance of such a young and beautiful woman, thinking that she was a lost daughter of a wealthy family.
However, as an old woman, she could not help much. She just carefully asked Baiguo where he was lost. She said she knew someone at the foot of the mountain who could help pass on the message.
He also told Baiguo not to be afraid, because the goblins in the mountains were all good goblins and they would not eat humans.
Later I found out that Baiguo was not a human, but a demon.
Grandma Tang was stunned: "A fairy?! But...but you look exactly like a human, not like a fairy at all?!"
Bai Guo smiled and said, "When a fairy reaches a certain level of cultivation, it can transform into a human. I was just lucky enough to receive the guidance of the mountain god. I skipped that stage and directly gained the ability to transform into a human."
Although Grandma Tang was used to seeing goblins, she was still shocked. She asked quickly, "Then... can my Green Hair and Old Deer also transform into human form in the future? How long will it take to practice? I don't know if I can see it in this lifetime..."
Not only did I not feel repulsed, but I actually felt relieved.
Her granddaughter is still young and has always lived with a bunch of goblins. She is also worried that Tang Xiaolian will grow up abnormal. She would feel much more at ease if the fairy could transform into a human.
Green Hair and Old Deer love her granddaughter so much. When they become human forms in the future, they will definitely help her take care of her granddaughter.
…
Bamboo has no skin, only paper mulberry, mountain mountain hawthorn and kiwi trees have skin, so the processing methods for the two are different. If they were bamboos, Baiguo would let them prune their own branches and leaves, break them, split them into bamboo strips of equal length and width, and soak them in the pond.
Needless to say, the pond must have been made by Lord Ruhe.
The same goes for the bark. After pruning and cutting the leaves, remove the rough parts and soak them in the pond.
The purpose of soaking is to remove impurities, sugars and some lignin from the bamboo or bark, which usually takes several months. But since they are goblins, they can use magic to shorten this time.
Therefore, what you soak last night can be used the next day.
The next step is steaming, but this is not possible for living plant-based fairies, as they are afraid of fire.
Baiguo did not make things difficult for them and asked Grandma Tang for help.
Put the soaked ingredients into a large pot and add appropriate amount of lime to steam.
Grandma Tang is a mortal, and she certainly can't control the temperature and time by herself, so she needs Baiguo to help. Although her true form is a tree, as a "pseudo-god", controlling fire is a piece of cake for her.
After a while, the bamboo was cooked into bamboo pulp.
