My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 3 3. Father and Daughter Night Talk

During dinner, Huang Yueying didn't take the initiative to speak. She heard the old father's voice when she was tearing the paper. If the old father knew... I dare not think about it.

There are only three members of the family, and they do not eat at separate tables. There are grilled mutton, hot mallow and bean sprouts, and rice on the table!If the food can be like this after the old father comes back, she will not dislike it.

Mutton!The third time she ate from time travel!The first two times were after she recovered from the cold, Cai asked someone to bring some mutton back to make soup, and after that, she took Huang Cong to play with the fish and shrimp in the river and the pheasants and rabbits in the mountains every day.

For such a change in her daughter, Cai can also figure it out. Because of the cold, she has been lying on the bed for more than half a month. After the cold has recovered, she has been bored for more than half a month. Now she is more lively and active, which is normal. Children, how can I not like it? For play.

Not long after, Huang Chengyan put down the bowl and chopsticks. He was full. Seeing that Huang Yueying was still eating deliciously, his eyes were full of kindness, "By the way, Ah Chu, if you sell this bamboo paper, what do you think?"

Huang Yueying swallowed the mutton in her mouth, looked at Huang Chengyan with a puzzled expression, "Father is the one who decides."

She can make paper, but she can't even think about who she will find a partner to do business with after making it, that would be too monstrous!Therefore, even if she had a plan in mind, she couldn't say it at this time, because she was afraid of being dragged to ask God to do rituals.

"What?" Cai Shi rubbed his lips and looked at her husband.

"I thought, this is an excellent business, and you know the price of Caihou paper, and now the bamboo paper made by Achu is several times better than Caihou paper." Huang Chengyan stroked his mustache in satisfaction, "Just However, our Mianyang Huang family is a bit far away from the Xiangyang branch. In addition, our branch is based on farming, studying and heirloom, and is not proficient in business. Therefore, if you want to do this business, you must invite someone to join you .”

"Then who do you think is better?"

"Jing Sheng, Brother Mao, Brother Zirouxian, and Brother Shang! From top to bottom, it should be unimpeded." Huang Chengyan thought for a while, and said, "However, this time, Jing Sheng will be [-]%, and Brother Mao and Zi Elder brother Rou and elder brother Shang each become good."

"According to this, don't we account for [-]%? Jing Sheng is now the lord of Jingzhou...we account for more than him?" Cai was a little worried.

"Don't worry, [-]% of it is with Ah Chu, even the uncle Jing Sheng, and it's not good to compete with the child for profit. Besides, because he is the lord of Jingzhou and rich in Jingzhou, he doesn't mind the benefits of this wealth." Huang Chengyan laughed. He laughed, "The other [-]% belongs to the Huang family in Mianyang. Since my father is based in Mianyang, I should also do my best for the family. In this way, there is only [-]% left. The Xiangyang branch and the Chen family and other The aristocratic family also has a little bit, otherwise I'm afraid everyone will come to quarrel with me."

Cai Shi just nodded, looked at Huang Yueying, and smiled warmly, "Then Ah Chu will have money in his hands in the future, don't spend money like water like your father, do you understand?"

"Well, I can save it, Father is just spending money recklessly! If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive it is!"

Cai's eyes lit up, and then nodded, "Ah Chu is right."

Huang Chengyan: ...

"You two..."

So, Huang Yueying and Cai Shi both laughed, and Huang Chengyan naturally laughed too.This house hasn't been this lively for a long time.

As for the share of the bamboo paper just mentioned, Huang Yueying also understood that her share is the most, and her uncle who is the lord of Jingzhou is [-]% less than her. Brother Mao is Cai Mao, and Zirou is Kuai The character of Liang, Shang Chang, refers to Pang Degong, that is to say, Cai, Kuai, and Pang each have [-]%.

In this way, of the remaining two members, [-]% will be given to the Huang family in Mianyang, and the other [-]% will be given to the Huang family in Xiangyang and other Xiangyang families.

After all, there is a difference between closeness and distance between people.

"On the other hand, Ah Chu is not young anymore. She is a big girl. You can hold the 12% by yourself, and it will be the dowry in the future!" Huang Chengyan sighed, yes, at the age of [-], he can watch the marriage , thinking that my caring little padded jacket will get married in the future, I can't help but feel a little sad.

Mrs. Cai also nodded, [-]% was given to her daughter as a dowry, which is what the daughter deserves, of course she has no objection.

"Father..." Huang Yueying was helpless, yes, the ancients got married really early, only 12 years old, so it depends on the partner.But in later generations, parents are guarding against puppy love every day, urging marriage right after graduating from university... In short, it's just a fascination.

It's just that [-]% of the members will give it if they say so.Huang Chengyan said it easily, and Cai had no objection. Instead, he had an expression that should be like this. This couple, in this era, is probably the only one.

"Haha, okay." Huang Chengyan smiled, and then looked at Huang Yueying, "Other people will not have too many objections about the division, but once the division is divided and the paper is spread everywhere... the current papermaking I'm afraid I can't keep up with the speed."

Huang Yueying nodded, "So what should Father do?"

"The highest goodness is like water. Water benefits all things without fighting for it. It is what everyone hates, so it is almost in the way. Jingzhou has a lot of water, and one way of water may make things happen." Huang Chengyan stroked his beard and looked at his little girl.

"Father is talking about water power? Like the overturned carts (waterwheels) that my father drew before?" As a later generation, Huang Yueying can understand it very well, but when she said this, she was slightly taken aback. She didn't have such things in the past. Memory... Today, without thinking, I came up with these thoughts. It seems that the original owner is really relieved.

Huang Chengyan's eyes lit up. His girl has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she is eccentric. She can give him hints on many things and coincides with him. Thinking like this, it’s winter now, and it will be the beginning of the year soon, the weather is cold, if you can replace part of the manpower with hydraulic power, you, Uncle Song, and the others will save a lot of money, and the speed of papermaking will naturally be much faster.”

"So, you father and daughter discuss slowly, I will clean up first, and light more oil lamps when I go to the study, so as not to hurt my eyes." Cai shook her head helplessly, she had seen this scene a lot.My daughter's thoughts are wild and unconstrained, and sometimes a random question can keep Huang Chengyan busy for a long time.

Huang Yueying smiled and put the last piece of mutton into her mouth, then stood up and followed behind her old father.

Today, the old father's distribution of bamboo paper shares is called a high one. He put the Lord of Jingzhou in it, and put his relatives and friends in it, and... these people are already the actual power holders.

There are only a few words about the old father in the history books.

Only now did she realize that those who can leave a name are really not stupid.

The old father is really free and easy, and doesn't care about money. For the sake of the old father, Cai can only do her best to manage the family. She doesn't want Huang Chengyan to change.It is really the representative of Qin, Se and Ming.

Although she just made fun of her old father, obviously, no one took it to heart, and neither would she.

The old father spends a lot of money, so she will make money.

"Ah Chu, explain the whole process of making paper to my father first, and then we can think about where we can replace it with hydraulic power, how about it?" Entering the study, Huang Chengyan had already laid a new piece of bamboo paper on the desk happily, but Soon he saw the torn paper on the shelf next to him, and asked in puzzlement, "So, Ah Chu, what did you tear up the paper for?"

Huang Yueying coughed lightly, "I lost it."

Huang Chengyan: ...

"Okay, as long as Ah Chu is happy." Huang Chengyan didn't let it go, and took a step back, so confident... As expected of his daughter!
Huang Yueying walked to the desk and looked at this piece of paper carefully. It was somewhat different from what she saw in later generations, but it would be enough to improve the craftsmanship, and it would not affect the use. Compared with Caihou paper, it is Well, I don't know how many times.

So I picked up the pen and wrote out the various processes of bamboo paper with ease.

"The production process of bamboo paper is actually not difficult, but the selection of materials is particular. It is best to use Hsinchu bamboo shoots that have just grown for a year."

"Why?"

"Old bamboo is more difficult to make."

Huang Chengyan nodded, "Indeed, if that's the case... Maybe we don't have enough bamboo in Jingzhou?"

"Yes, the bamboo in Jingzhou is not as good as that in Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou is located in the south and is humid and hot all year round, so bamboo can grow all year round. However, it is best to distinguish the batch before and after Xiaoman."

"I'll ask later, who has a strategy in Jiaozhou." Huang Chengyan nodded, and then motioned for his daughter to continue.

"After cutting the bamboo, transport it back, and then cut the bamboo into suitable bamboo segments, and peel off the green skin of the bamboo to make it white."

"Otherwise the paper will be colored?" Huang Chengyan asked again, "Cyan?"

"Ah, maybe so, I just think that if you want the bamboo paper to be whiter, it's more convenient to remove all the other colors from the raw material."

"Too."

"Next, break the blank into pieces. This step may be replaced by hydraulic power." When Huang Yueying spoke up to this point, she paused for a moment, and then looked at Huang Chengyan, "Father, what do you plan to build?"

"It's not urgent, Ah Chu, you continue."

"It takes four to five days to tie up the broken blanks and soak them in water."

"Ah."

"Then cut the white billet into more than a foot of bamboo material, wash it, and put it into the pool prepared with lime solution."

"Lime liquid?"

"After soaking for about three days, put the bamboo material into the wok, fill it with water, cook it day and night for five days, and then immediately put the bamboo material into the clear water pond to wash it. After washing, the bamboo material needs to be soaked in the clear water pond. From ten to fifteen days, it is necessary to continue cleaning and pick out the rotten bamboo materials. After this, the clean bamboo materials, that is, the white materials, can be bundled into bundles and pounded into fine powder.”

Huang Chengyan suddenly realized that in the final analysis, bamboo is grown from bamboo shoots. After doing this, the bamboo may become scum.

"It is still necessary to manually pick out the thicker white ingredients, or those that cannot be broken, and then put the remaining white ingredients into clear water and stir them repeatedly with a wooden rake. If there are thick tendons, they still need to be fished out until the white ingredients dissolve. In clear water, it becomes paper pulp, and finally, it is copied and lifted to make wet paper. After drying, it becomes the bamboo paper that my father saw. It seems that the effort is not enough, the bamboo paper is still a bit rough."

"Just polish it up slowly." Huang Chengyan smiled afterwards, very happy, his daughter is really amazing, "How did Ah Chu think of it?"

"Father told me about the making of Caihou paper before, but then I always felt that Caihou paper was too rough and inconvenient to write on. Every time my father needed to use charcoal to record, it was also very inconvenient. I just thought, Wouldn’t it be better if the materials were smashed into finer pieces? But I didn’t want to use broken fishing nets... so I tried it with bamboo at random, and it turned out to be finished. Probably God’s help!”

"That's my Achu Conghui!" Huang Chengyan smiled, "If that's the case, the beatings that were beaten by humans can be replaced by animal or water power, but..."

Huang Chengyan then dug out the overturned car he had drawn before, "When Ma Lan made the overturned car in the past, I only thought it was very beneficial to people's livelihood."

"Watering crops will be much more convenient."

"But how to change it?" Huang Chengyan was in a dilemma.
