I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 149 Not bad!No shame!

The next morning.

Guo Yi picked up the pillar early in the morning and asked him to send the porcelain painted last night back to the porcelain kiln.

And, after he came back, he was asked to take Guo Heng to the streets.This kid is like a big girl, very shy of strangers.Temperament is also a little cowardly, not good at words.

Especially after his father's accident, he was frightened and became more withdrawn.

Therefore, Guo Yi wanted him to go to the street to see the excitement and reduce his loneliness.

Manager Zhu has already found a college for him, and it's time to go to school in two days.It is the private academy of the Lu family in the south of the city.

This was originally a private school of the Lu family, and the head of the mountain was a great scholar of the Lu family.But later on, several well-known talents emerged from the private school, and their fame gradually emerged.

Ever since, some acquaintances made connections and sent their nephews into the palace.Gradually, the scale of the private school became larger and larger, and finally evolved into a private academy.

Lushan College
Because the head of the mountain is a great Confucian, the threshold of the academy is very high, it is not something you can enter if you want to.

Fortunately, there is no need for Guo Yi to bother, Zhu Guanshi has already helped to handle it.

At this time, the sky had just turned white, and the sun had not yet come out.Guo Yi helped Zhuzi load the porcelain into the car, and the two separated at the door.

Zhuzi went to the porcelain kiln, and he went to the papermaking workshop.

The raw materials for those reed papers had been marinated four days ago.He ordered people to fish out all the marinated raw materials, and put them into several large pots to cook for a day and a night.

It is to use an aqueous solution of lime to treat the raw materials at high temperature to remove the pectin and lignin adhered between the fibers, so that the fibers are dispersed and become pulp.

After it is cooked, it is rinsed in the river behind the restaurant.

It is to put the cooked pulp into the cloth bag, wash with water and swing back and forth to clean the lime slag and boiled material dissolved in the pulp.

After rinsing, put it in a sink for crushing.That is to say, beating is to use manpower, water hammer, stone mill, etc. to pound the slurry into a mud paste, so that the fibers in the slurry can be divided into filaments and brooms, and can be interwoven into paper sheets with a certain strength. The beating is artificial papermaking. The heaviest process in the operation.

He had been busy here for half a day the day before yesterday, and seeing that the workers were able to operate it skillfully, he turned his head and left, and rushed to Huangzhuang to work on the hydraulic loom.

Riding a horse to the main street, lightly clamping the horse's belly, then went straight south to Yanhe Street.

And only then did he realize that there was actually a literati who got up earlier than himself.

Just below the Wangjing Tower, there were five or six literati students in blue cross-collar gowns and black soft-footed headbands, standing there upright, looking up at the two eternal paintings hanging outside the building. absolute.

Seeing this, Guo Yi was speechless, but he didn't want to comment on it. He knocked on the corner door and walked in alone.

And Zhu Gui, who likes to sleep besides eating, unexpectedly got up early today, holding a handful of jerky in his hand, and kept stuffing it into his mouth.

Seeing him coming over, he was very excited, eating something in his mouth, and yelled vaguely: "Erlang, you are here! You are busy every day, and you can't even see anyone!"

"Bullshit! If it weren't for the lack of money, who would be busier than a dog!"

It's hard, like the group of literati and students outside, can't use love to generate electricity?
Zhu Gui was choked up, and immediately complained to himself, I'm a cheap person, I deserve to ask this question!
Thinking of this, he resentfully stuffed a large piece of jerky into his mouth and chewed hard to vent his hatred.

The two rushed to the paper workshop in the backyard without stopping, and the dozen or so workers were already waiting there.

"That's good! The material has been washed, and the paper can be produced." After checking the mud made two days ago, Guo Yi checked the marinade ponds one by one. The pond has been emptied, but he deliberately did not order to fill it in.

But today, I came over to take a look, and the new materials have already been supplemented.Very good, this Zhu Gui is a qualified factory director.

In this way, after they learn to print paper today, they will be able to properly delegate power.Don't be like the old Zhu, feel that others can't do this well, and that can't do that well, and finally exhaust yourself to death.

After Guo Yi finished the inspection, he turned around and told Zhu Gui: "Remember, if we find someone to build a few more marinade pools, we have to increase the scale. If it doesn't work, we will use it all to produce reed paper, and then we will use it to make reed paper. The Huangzhuang side will be remodeled to produce bamboo paper."

"Oh, good!" Zhu Gui agreed vaguely, chewing on the jerky.While eating, he kept thinking, and when he finished swallowing, he responded very simply: "Just listen to Erlang, reed paper is produced here, and then Huangzhuang will be remodeled."

"Okay! That's it, let's start printing paper now!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Gui and the dozen or so workers' eyes lit up. After waiting for many days, the paper was finally coming out!
Guo Yi didn't talk nonsense. He poured the pounded slurry into the papermaking tank to dilute it. About 100 kilograms of water and 30 kilograms of materials were added. He kept explaining to Zhu Gui while doing it.

Finally, add the slip medicine that has been prepared.

Huayao is a liquid made of rock fir root and waxy leaf extract.Break it into pieces with a pestle, add an appropriate amount of water to make a slippery medicine, and mix it into a paper trough in a certain proportion.

Then, keep stirring the sliding medicine and the pulp to make it evenly mixed.

The role of the rock fir root and waxy leaf extract is to make the pulp stick together during the papermaking process, and to separate the piled up paper one by one.

After mixing the slippery medicine thoroughly, he picked up the bamboo curtain that had already been made, stood by the pool, with his arms flat, and gently slid into the slurry water.

Zhu Gui and the dozen or so workers all huffed and surrounded them. They stood by the feed pool and stared at them motionless, fearing that they might miss something.

To be honest, he is also nervous now. Although the system has already let him learn it, papermaking is a skill that makes perfect, and it takes years of practice to become proficient.

But don't lose face, he muttered to himself.

When the bamboo curtain entered the water, he took a deep breath to relax himself and keep his arms stable. He held the bamboo curtain and swung gently in the water, and gently shook the pulp scooped into the bamboo curtain. Then lift it up at an angle to release the water inside.

And as the water flows out, a thin piece of paper is presented in the bamboo curtain.It looks pretty even, with no holes.

call!
He couldn't help but let out a long breath.

And the circle of people around them all stared wide-eyed, how could paper be produced like this?

They originally thought it would be a very mysterious and difficult thing to accomplish, but who would have thought that it would be so simple...

"It looks easy, doesn't it?"

"Yeah!" Everyone else nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Seeing this, Guo Yi burst into laughter immediately, nodded and said, "Okay! There is a bamboo curtain beside it, come and try it all!"
