A piece of paper

Xuancheng in October is just like Xian Jin's memory, which only exists in the rain and fog on TV. The horse-head wall is higher than the wall of the two gabled roofs, forming an endless and continuous high and low scenery unique to Huizhou.

Standing under the water tank shack that Ji Xi visited, Xian Jin gently closed his eyes.

Mrs. Qu stood at the top with her cane, and glanced at the people surrounding the three floors below. Those who followed He Xianjin from Jingxian County were all standing at the front. Even the always obedient Lu Ba Dan was standing at the front. He scratched his head and looked inside; on the outside, this year, He Xianjinhua spent a lot of money to recruit new people for "training". Now two have been eliminated, leaving 18 people, all of whom are as tall and strong as a Tuesday dog, like an eighteen-seat It stood there like a mountain.

Mrs. Qu blinked, but in the past two years, the entire Chen family had replaced her with He Xianjin's people - either the confidants who had been following her, or the new people she recruited. The old people in the Chen family either retired or killed , or disabled, until now, there is only one honest and charming Qu Damao watching the fun in the corner.

What a good means, good intentions, and a good city.

Mrs. Qu's eyes moved to the water tank where paper pulp was floating up and down.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad - thinking optimistically, at least He Xianjin still gave her his nephew to keep?
Mrs. Qu coughed lightly, everyone fell silent, and the scene instantly became quiet.

"It has been more than 57 years since the Chen family made the first rice paper. It has always been the belief that those who are capable should come first and never be inferior to seniors, relatives, or near and far. Although Shopkeeper He is my third son and stepdaughter, he has always I started working as a bookkeeper in a workshop in Jing County, my hometown, and then returned to Xuancheng step by step."

Mrs. Qu pointed her crutch at Xian Jin and said in a steady voice, "When you see her, you should know who she is. As long as she has the ability, she can make a difference in the Chen family."

Xian Jin still closed his eyes.

Suo'er behind her pursed her lips tightly: Who is that person?What and who?It sounds like their shopkeeper is some kind of despicable person!He looks like a lowly and despicable person!
Madam Qu put her crutches back and her eyes returned, "Today, shopkeeper He offered to fish out thirty curtains and at least fifteen qualified four-foot posters in half an hour. Let me show you that the woman who has become the chief shopkeeper of our Chen family is not shy about her paper-grabbing skills!"

The newcomer said "Wow"!
Thirty curtains, fifteen good pieces of paper, only half the error tolerance!

The newcomers' eyes invariably looked at Shopkeeper He, who was as thin as a good-looking bean sprout.

Just her?

Shopkeeper He was frightened when he heard the news. Standing next to him was Team Leader Zhong.

Team Leader Zhong glanced sideways, and the newcomer Zai Zi lowered his head in tacit agreement.

Zhao De from the Mulberry Paper Workshop is holding his hands behind his back with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Mrs. Qu raised her chin and said, "Lao Er, Lao Zhao."

Zhao Dezheng and Chen Erye Chen Cai came out one after another.

"You guys should demonstrate first. One curtain of water enters the body, and two curtains of water break the heart. What does a qualified Four Feet Xuan look like." Mrs. Qu's expression was indifferent.

Suo'er silently rolled his eyes: Who can't see the old lady's little thoughts?Isn't this stepping on the head of their shopkeeper He and making a fool of the second master Chen Cai? ——How many years has Mr. Chen been practicing?How long has their shopkeeper He been practicing?As soon as Mr. Chen showed his hand, Shopkeeper He couldn't chase him. Isn't this a sign of success?

Zhao Dezheng and Chen Chai lined up in front of and behind the water tank, one on the left and the other on the right, shouting in unison. Chen Chai first put the paper medicine into the water tank, picked up a stick and rake and drew a single groove to mix it evenly. , a set of preparation procedures was done so smoothly that it attracted the newcomer's "wow" repeatedly, but made Chen Chai blush.

When it came time to fish out the paper, Chen guessed that he was naturally the person in charge of the curtain. He picked up the paper and squeezed the edge. The two of them groaned and moved very quickly. They inserted the bamboo curtain with the inside high and the outside low into the slot. After shaking it for a while, they raised the bamboo curtain with the outside high and the inside low. Insert the 0 into the water in the tank and fish it out instantly. As if the two people's four hands were on two parallel surfaces, neatly and neatly, Chen Chai lifted the curtain from the curtain bed and tipped it over the paper press board next to it in a sail-down style. On the surface, the four corners are visible to the naked eye to be smooth, with no overlap of pulp, no dripping of water, and neat paper postings.

Among the newcomers, one from Hengji took the lead in clapping, followed by thunderous applause.

Chen Cai retreated behind Mrs. Qu with a flushed face, clasped his hands together and said in shame, "It's a small trick, a small trick."

Mrs. Qu nodded with satisfaction, lowered her eyes at the invitation made by Chen Cai, and then said, "Of course, our shopkeeper He became a monk halfway, so he cannot reach this level. We don't embarrass shopkeeper He. Shopkeeper He's wetness The paper only needs to be laid flat, evenly and neatly!" Suo'er hated himself for being so smart!Reading is a gift!

——How wonderful it would be if I couldn’t understand the metaphor of each passage of the old lady’s words!Step on it and hold it in one hand, I think this old lady is having a good time!It was obviously a challenge for their shopkeeper He, but in the end it turned into a personal talent show for Chen Erye and Chen Cai!

Mrs. Qu gave the order and turned it over!

Xian Jin suddenly opened his eyes, tied up his horse steps, and was filled with anger. Although the movements of preparing materials and applying the medicine were not as smooth as Chen Cai's, they were still completed in one step. When it came to the difficult part of fishing for paper, Xian Jin and Jiang Together, the elbow classmates inserted another paper curtain placed behind the sink into the water, picked up part of the pulp liquid, and then raised the paper curtain and swayed gently in a very rhythmic manner. The pulp flows out from the end of the curtain - this is called "head curtain water" completion.

On the basis of a curtain of water, the direction is changed, and the inside is lower and the outside is higher to fill in the gaps. At this point, a piece of wet paper is completed.

The first curtain of water is used to basically shape the paper, and the second curtain of water is used to replenish the pulp and make the rice paper fully formed!
Xian Jin has not slacked off, and he is well aware of the principle of making great efforts, then failing again, and finally exhausting himself. He finished the thirty curtains in one breath, put them down, and lifted the curtains. Whether the paper is good or not, it needs to be wiped lightly and pressed to wet it. After the moisture in the paper is squeezed out, it is put into the drying room to see the real thing.

Li Sanshun was transferred back to personally complete the baking of thirty pieces of gold paper.

Place the paper sticker on the baked dragon wall. Li Sanshun takes a pine broom and brushes it upward twice, then moves left and right in a "herringbone" shape. The wet paper will dry immediately after being posted on the baked dragon wall!

When it was drying quickly, all the newcomers said "wow", "um" and "ah" all at once, and for some reason the "croaking" sounds of the two frogs were mixed in.

The young apprentice who came out of Hengji pointed to the paper on the wall of Baolong, "There are, there are, there are paintings!"

The young apprentice squinted his eyes, trying to see more clearly, "It's bamboo! There is bamboo in the paper! There is bamboo!"

Mrs. Qu pushed aside the crowd, stood in front of the Baolong wall with her crutches, her eyes came closer, and she judged very carefully - it was true!The paper is smooth, but the middle layer seems to hide two lifelike Hsinchu trees that are ready to go!
Is it a coincidence? !
Is it a coincidence caused by fishing for paper? !
Mrs. Qu quickly ordered, "Master Li, continue baking!"

Li Sanshun picked up the pine broom and drew the Chinese character "人" quickly.

One, two, three, thirty!
All paper curtains are molded!And the looming bamboo can be seen on every piece of paper!

Those two identical bamboos!
The direction, strength and even veins of the bamboo leaves are exactly the same!
This is not a coincidence!

There is a skill in this! There is a big skill!
Mrs. Qu looked at Xian Jin with burning eyes, "Everyone except Xian Jin and"

"Qi Qiqi——" Jiang Xiuzi bowed down to sign up.

"Except for Xianjin and Qi, everyone else should leave the shantytown!" Mrs. Qu said sternly.

Xian Jin raised his arm and said, "Wait a minute!"

Mrs. Qu looked at her.

"Did I win?" Xian Jin asked with a smile on his lips.

Mrs. Qu put her hands on the crutches and smiled, "It's not a competition, so how can we win or lose? Since my grandmother has given you the management of the three shops in Xuancheng Mansion, you are the legitimate shopkeeper of the Chen family."

Tomorrow I am going to Beijing to participate in Yuewen's intangible cultural heritage essay competition (one piece of paper seems to have won an award). I have been working on this for the past two days. The update is a bit unstable. I will make it up later. Please forgive me.
