Alien landlady

Chapter 151 Discovery of Glue
Ah Huang took Bai Tongtong to the nearest village to the manor. The land of this village was larger than that of Salter Village, and the population was larger. Besides the local villagers, there were also many mercenaries walking in the gray area. Based on Wismar The reputation of the chaotic paradise in the town, the mercenaries who hang out here don't have a good reputation outside.

Bai Tongtong was not in a hurry to find the village chief, she asked Ah Huang to follow in the dark, while holding a few silver coins in her hand, she asked the villagers what special products the village had.

The villagers who received the money didn't ask her who she was, and they all surrounded her with enthusiastic introductions and recommendations, but after all, they were just some primary agricultural products, and there was no new idea that caught people's eyes.

Under the pretense of consideration, Bai Tongtong declined the villagers' offer to take her on a tour, and continued to stroll around the village.

Walking, unknowingly, I came to the creek facing the water behind the village. It is a water system coming out of the forest. Many women wash the fabrics by the water. It looks like the finished product that has just been woven, and has not yet been dyed and printed.

Curious, they went up to ask them what they were doing, and the village women told Bai Tongtong that it was to wash away the glue hanging on the yarn before weaving.

"We have a kind of glue here, which is a mixture of shellac and blue gum. It is not easy to break when it is applied to yarn and weaving. After spinning, it can be dyed after rinsing in clean water."

"Your glue is very interesting. What kind of shellac and gum are you using? What kind of tree is blue gum?"

"Is the guest a foreigner who just arrived? Your accent sounds weird." The village women asked with some vigilance.

"Yes, I want to see if there are any special products that can be sold for money." Bai Tongtong showed a few silver coins, "When I was in the village before, the men asked me to come here to ask, but they couldn't tell you anything of value."

"Hmph, those men are just like men when they are farming. They don't know where the salt jars are at home." The women curled their lips, put down their work, gathered around and took the money from Bai Tongtong's hand.

"Oh, this is not our silver coin."

"Sorry, I just came here, and I haven't exchanged it for domestic silver coins. These are the circulating silver coins of Gulisi on the other side of the river. They can't be used here, right?"

"It's nothing, it works. Our new earl is a woman from the other side. I heard that she is a very powerful female mage. It's amazing." No one will return the money they get.

"Well, yes, a very powerful woman. Men are speechless when they see her, because few people can beat her." Bai Tongtong put gold on his face generously.

The village women burst into laughter and gathered tighter, saying that it was great to have such a countess.

"By the way, how did you make the glue? What kind of shellac or gum did you use?"

"The worms are the small worms of the golden nematode that we often eat. The ones that are hatched for two to four weeks are the best to eat, and the ones that are more than four weeks old cannot be eaten. At that time, they will start to secrete a kind of mucus. After more than a month, the mucus will disappear. Slowly wrap them up and turn them into a pupa, and smash them before the shell of the pupa dries up, if it dries up and then smashes it, the stickiness will change, no matter how much gum is added later, it will be useless.”

"What do you mean useless? Turned into water? What's the use of the gum?"

"In addition to coating yarn, this kind of glue is also used when making shoes. Use rags to stick them together to make a mold for the soles of the feet. If the viscosity decreases, it will not stick. It looks like it is glued. You can tear it with your hands and it will be intact. Tear it off. The gum is a kind of blue tree unique to our forest, the gum is blue, mainly to enhance the stickiness, any one alone is not enough, and the two must be mixed together."

Bai Tongtong got excited. She was looking for removable glue for making sticky notes. It sounds like the glue used by the village women has some characteristics. If you find a suitable one in nature, you don't need to use your brains to make chemical synthesis.

"I'm very interested in your glue. Is there any dried pupae in the village, can I make some now?"

"Ah?" The village women looked at Bai Tongtong like idiots. They just said that the glue made from the dried chrysalis was not good, and they asked for that to be useless.

Bai Tongtong took out a few more silver coins, "I'll pay for it, okay?"

A village woman with a sharp eye and quick hand grabbed the money and held it tightly in her hand. She had a big and round figure, "Follow me, my family raises that bug, which has both dry and wet pupae."

Bai Tongtong followed the fat woman to her home under the envious eyes of a group of village women.

There is a room with dim light all year round. There are more than a dozen rectangular wooden boxes with shallow bottoms on a row of three-tiered shelves against the wall. They raise a kind of green worms like silkworms, with different sizes. The village woman He randomly grabbed a bigger one and brought Bai Tongtong back to a brightly lit place to show her. There were several vertical golden threads growing from the beginning to the end of this insect, which is probably how the golden thread worms came from.

After seeing the worms, the village woman took Bai Tongtong to another room to get the dried chrysalis. To put it bluntly, this was what the woman kept until the adults broke out of the chrysalis and continued to lay eggs.

The village woman generously let Bai Tongtong choose two or three at random, and then asked her to come back tomorrow. It took a day to prepare the glue, because after mashing, it had to be washed continuously to extract the pulp, and the sediment had to be filtered. The gum also had to remove debris and impurities. For all kinds of dirty things, it is good glue to mix them in proportion.

Bai Tongtong wrote down the name of the village woman and said goodbye to her happily.

Not long after she left the village woman's house, she slipped into a blind corner, and Ah Huang quickly got out of the ground, and continued to visit the next village with Bai Tongtong.

I only visited two villages in half a day, and that village also had gold worm glue, which is really a very common food and daily necessities in the local area, and I had nothing else to gain.

Coming out of the village, Bai Tongtong walked along the main road between the two villages without rushing to cross the river, admiring the rural scenery, and thinking about what he could do on this land.

In the afternoon in the guild office, Bai Tongtong found a relatively stiff high-grade letter paper and cut it into four small sheets for future use.

In the morning of the next day, Bai Tongtong went to the manor to find Barn first, and gave him a list, asking him to pass it on to Pollock. It was the raw materials she needed to make the resin. The quantity was very large, and she planned to make molds after the factory was built. It is used for mass production, stock up quickly while the price is cheap now, and the price will definitely increase in the future.

After paying the deposit for the order, Bai Tongtong went to the village to find the village woman to get the glue as promised.

The village woman gave her a clay pot the size of a salt shaker, and the glue was only half filled, and told her that it would not solidify if it was placed in a dark and ventilated place, and that as long as it was not completely solidified, it could continue to be used after stirring.

Bai Tongtong returned to the guild with the glue, found the four small pieces of paper prepared yesterday, and evenly brushed a strip of glue on the long side with an art brush. Not sticky.

With an attitude of experimentation, she spread two of the papers with the glue side up under the window to dry; for the other two papers, she first applied glue to one of them, and then glued the remaining paper to the window. The four corners are aligned and superimposed, and then glue is applied on it, and set aside to dry.Afterwards she put the pots away in the bookcase.

Check it again after lunch break, the glue on the paper is almost dry, it feels a little sticky to the touch, but there will be no glue on the hands.

Stick the two separate pieces of paper on any document, pull them lightly, and it will not come off easily. It takes a little effort to tear them off, but after peeling off, there will be no glue left on the document, and at the same time, the viscosity of the glue on the paper is greatly reduced, even It cannot be pasted twice, and it will fall off after blowing.

Looking at the two superimposed and glued ones, the one on the surface that was left open to dry is the same, but the two pieces of paper were stuck together when the glue was not dry, resulting in glue on both sides of a piece of paper, Although it meets the requirements for secondary pasting, it can stick to the document very well, and it will not move or loosen when writing on it, but the self-adhesive note paper with glue on both sides is a properly unqualified product.

Bai Tongtong then cut out another piece of high-grade letter paper, applied the glue first, and put it under the window to let the wind dry, then cleaned up the table and went to work first, and looked at it from time to time. When the glue was half dry, she found that the glue was still wet It was the most sticky, so I carefully covered it with another piece of paper, and left it aside. She didn't come up to take a look until after dinner.

The feeling when tearing the two pieces of paper made Bai Tongtong feel that this time there is a door. The glue stayed on the first piece of paper as expected, and the last piece of paper did not leave any glue marks. The second paste is no problem. , according to the nature of the packaging of sticky notes, the test was considered a success.

Bai Tongtong's face was full of smiles, and the removable glue he had always wanted was so easily found in Wismar, and it was a pollution-free and pure natural product.

Excited, Bai Tongtong immediately found the cashier Amidon and asked him to give Bernard some money. Tomorrow, he would send someone to the paper factory in Soller City to buy a base paper for making high-grade stationery. She would be useful.

According to the measurement standard of the paper factory, one piece is [-] sheets of uncut raw paper, packed in a thin wooden box, which is big and heavy, and it is very difficult to carry. In order to earn more money, the factory owner usually puts the finished product Paper is used as raw material and directly processed into letter paper or other paper products.

The next morning, the male servant sent by Bernard returned with his things in less than an hour, and the heavy box was placed in the office directly. Ah Huang came to help, and used elements to condense a floating Waist-height element board, and then Bai Tongtong took a piece of paper and laid it on the element table, flattened the four corners, accurately measured the length and width, and then pondered whether to apply glue or cut the paper first in the process of making sticky notes ?
After thinking about it, it seems that cutting paper is more efficient than applying glue, so she started with applying glue, using the width as the base, and just divided a large piece of paper into eight equal parts. The glue tape is neatly brushed across the paper, and then another magic is used to remove the excess water in the glue, and it enters the semi-dry state directly.

Ah Huang precisely manipulated the elements, and around the four sides of the paper, a frame protruded tightly. Bai Tongtong directly placed the second sheet of paper in the frame, took a large book as a heavy object, and smoothed the paper Continue to brush glue, cycle operation.

I just brushed sixty sheets of paper in one breath, and I was satisfied when I used up all the glue. I used ordinary letter paper as a glue protection paper to cover the top layer.

Ah Huang condensed a large flat stone slab above the frame, embedded it tightly, and acted as the final weight, pressing the glue and paper tightly.

Bai Tongtong patted Ah Huang's head, and handed over the last step of the process to it. She sat back at the desk and wrote a few letters for work.

Ah Huang was lying on the sofa in the reception area, sleeping soundly, and he could maintain his magical state during his sleep. Until about noon, Bernard came up to report that Viscount Camerina's second son, Fidom Group, Long time to send ore.

Bai Tongtong ran downstairs quickly, and reached out to Feidum who was standing in the hall while still on the stairs, rushed straight in front of him, shook his hand vigorously.

"Fidm Fedm Fedm, you are the most reliable knight leader I have ever met, I am so happy to see you, thank you for coming in person."

Feidum was flattered by Bai Tongtong's enthusiasm, and he took out three space bags from his body with the other hand, "I am also very happy to meet you, dear Tongtong, congratulations that you are now Earl of Wismar and So Baron Walter, all the ore you want is here, and it would take too long to transport it by convoy, I guess you must need it urgently, so come here directly.”

"Yes yes, thank you very much, I'm waiting for this help. Do what you want, you must stay for lunch at noon, and my cashier will give you the money later, I will go to work first." Bai Tongtong almost snatched the space bag , let go, and ran back upstairs in a rage.

Bernard came over to greet the guests and apologized, "Our president has been busier since he got the title of nobility. Please forgive her impoliteness. Please sit in the morning room and I will bring you a good cup of tea."

"It doesn't matter. I have heard some recent rumors about her. I know that she has encountered some unsatisfactory things, but seeing that she is still so energetic, I don't think I need to worry too much about her." There is a circle on the Internet, and any news spreads very quickly. The incident between Bai Tongtong and the Countess of Kinloch has been spread all over the world. .

The opinion of Feidum and his family belongs to the latter, and it is really mindless to fight against the countess who is destined to become an archmage.

Bai Tongtong ran back upstairs, opened the interspatial bags to check, and found that the ore was not classified at all, it was just put in it directly, and all had to be poured out and sorted by himself.

Ah Huang got up from the sofa, stretched himself, then withdrew the magic in the room, gently placed the large stack of sticky notes waiting to be cut on the floor, and then went to Bai Tongtong to help her from the three dimensions. He pulled out the ore used to make advanced knives from the bag, and then rushed to the laboratory behind to smelt the ore directly with magic to create a guillotine blade.

This work cannot be done within a few hours, and it will take a lot of time to extract the active ingredients in the ore, so at noon, Bai Tongtong dressed up and had lunch with Fidom, thanking him for his unexpected surprise. Show up in due time.
