Assistant God of Life in Another World

Papermaking, from front to back, has a total of four steps:

The first step is to collect materials.

That is, felling mountains and trees, and digging some flowers and plants.

The second step is to decompose the material.

The fiber in the material is decomposed, and the raw material is changed from flowers and trees into water slurry in this process.

The third step is to process the water slurry.

Some necessary treatment is carried out on the decomposed raw material slurry to make it a qualified "liquid paper".

The fourth step is to make paper.

Separate the "liquid paper", spread it flat, soak it with water, squeeze it, and then dry it, and you're done.

Just four steps.It can be said that even children in kindergarten can clearly understand the papermaking project after reading this four-step picture book. ——

Those who know are not difficult, but those who are difficult do not know. Standing at the height of a latecomer, looking at some inventions and creations of the predecessors, it is really simple and outrageous.

This is where later generations are superior to predecessors.

In the eyes of later generations, such a simple thing, you must know, was kept secret for quite a long time at the beginning.The four steps of papermaking, any one of them, any small joint in any step, is the supreme secret.

In fact, not to mention the latter, it is the first step, collecting materials, which is a huge hurdle.

For those who know this industry, it is simply paper-making materials everywhere.But for those who don't know...

This is an absolute secret.

You may guess for a lifetime and never guess.

To put it more directly, for example, now, Fang Tian asked the people in Hongshi Town and the people in "Yanhuang New City", what is paper made of?

Among these tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, Fang Tian believed it.People who can answer this question can be counted with one slap, even if they exceed the quota, those two slaps are enough.more...

That doesn't make sense!

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why writing paper is so scarce in this world. Basically, there should be no sale in Hongshi Town.

It's hard to even say whether there are any sold in cities such as Juyan City, let alone deal with it, this thing has been up to now.Maybe they are just going around in the world of the magician, or taking a step back and going around in the world of the powerful.

Otherwise, why hasn't Fang Tian read a single book until now?

If paper really circulates among the general public.Well, even if it's word of mouth bard stories or something.Someone will edit it into a book.Then sell them in the streets and alleys of big cities and small towns.

But until now, student Fang Tian, ​​who has been living in this Xinshou Village, has speculated about many aspects of this world, and he is in the stage of "seeing the leopard from the inside". His various guesses may be in line with the facts.It could also be far from the truth.

After all, suppose a traverser travels to the earth, lands in the center of the Sahara Desert, and lives for ten years.It is very likely that there is very little water on the earth, even less than gold, and then he returns to his hometown, packs the water in a small book, travels to the earth, sells it on the earth, and becomes a time and space treasurer who sells water.

Based on the same principle, generally speaking, Fang Tian seldom makes any guesses about all aspects of this world.

On the one hand, it is to realize that such speculation may not be reliable.

On the other hand, with the progress of practice, as he becomes more and more a real practitioner, these things, little by little, have already become "things outside the body".

What is "things in the body"?

Body, mind, consciousness, and spiritual power are nothing but these four.

Those related to these four are the inside of the body, the key, the practice, and the foundation of the body.And those who have nothing to do with these four, no matter what happens, are all outside the body, just floating clouds.

When the clouds come, you can enjoy them; when the clouds go, let them go.

But that's all.

The establishment of the cross practice system, a simple "ten" character, not only divides the four directions, but also "inner and outer".

The cross is erected, and the inside and outside are divided.

Follow me inside, follow the world outside, cut off the flow inside, and follow the waves outside, between inside and outside is also yin and yang.

In other words, as he walked step by step, Fang Tian felt more and more that Yin and Yang were everywhere.

The second step of the current paper experiment has been completed.

Fang Tian skipped the third step and went directly to the fourth step.

I saw the ball of slurry hanging in mid-air, like a closed flower ball, now, the flower ball is blooming, and petals stretch out from it.While the petals stretched, the water vapor also dissipated little by little.

In about 5 minutes, the flowers finished blooming, and then slowly fell into Fang Tian's hands.

It is in the shape of a peony flower, but the peony flower is so gray that it is really ugly.However, Fang Tian felt relieved when he touched it with his hands and felt the pure and uniform texture of the petals.

However, this flower seems to be made of bamboo shoots, and it has been boiled and burned. So, can I eat it now?

After looking at it for a while, Fang Tian dismissed the idea.

Not far away, the bamboo shoots swayed by the swing, like the sound of slight waves, came with the wind.

Then soon, little loli appeared here with a figure like the wind.

As soon as he appeared, little Loli looked at the things in Fang Tian's hands curiously, "Brother, what is this? Is it a flower? It's so ugly!" After looking at it for a few times, little Loli made such a comment.

Fang Tian smiled slightly, "Girl, if I use flowers and trees to build a study for you, do you like it?"

"study?"

Obviously, to little loli, this is an extremely unfamiliar word.

Although she understands these two words.

Fang Tian shook his head slightly, and then said: "Let's not talk about this, girl, I will take you on a field trip. The sun is shining brightly, and the grass and trees are in full bloom. It is also good to smell the fragrance of the flowers. By the way, let's see which flowers smell good. Write it down, tell me, and I'll make them for you to wash your hands with."

The "that thing" that Fang Tian mentioned here refers to soap.

There is no such thing in this world, and of course there is no corresponding word for "soap".And this thing, so far, is only circulating in some small courtyards in Fenglin and Hongshi Town, and the right to name it is of course in the hands of Fang Tian.

Taking little loli on a field trip, Fang Tian's main purpose was to find something.

Something used in papermaking.

Fang Tian knew how paper was made before, but he had never done it before, and after this little fiddling, he now has a bottom line in his mind.Next, of course, is how to make the paper.

Among them, there are several key points.

And the key lies in the third step of papermaking, that is, the treatment of raw pulp.Here is the "secret of secrets" kept secret by the ancient paper-making practitioners.

If you don't know the secret here, the paper you make is scum.

If cooking is used as an example, then this "secret of secrets" is the configuration of seasonings.

The same is Chinese cabbage, you follow that chef to wash, you follow that chef to cut, you follow that chef to cook, you follow that chef to stir-fry, you follow that chef to put the vegetables out of the pan at the same time— —

But the dishes made by that chef are fragrant, crisp and tender, with a particularly long taste.

However, the dishes you cook are tasteless.

Just because you don't have the chef's proprietary "seasoning package".

Fang Tian's task today is to find raw materials, and then prepare the "seasoning package" in the papermaking project.

This "seasoning package" is very simple, only salt and oil.

As for the "Thirteen Fragrances" and so on, that's a matter for later, this kind of thing, whether you want it or not, some people like it, some people think it's redundant.This stuff is just icing on the cake, just embellishment.

What Fang Tian has to do now is "Jin". (to be continued..)
