Chapter 236 Reed Paper Made
Chailin said, "Go and have a look."

The three of them went over to see that Kunlun slave who was covered in pitch black was lying on the ground, grinning in pain.

Chai Lin said, "Can you understand me?"

"Yes, please save me, or I will die. It's too cold at night." This Kunlun slave was quite fluent in Central Plains.

"Where is your hometown? Why did you live in Song Dynasty?" Chai Lin asked.

"My hometown is far away, where there are herds of lions, giraffes, and elephants. Our tribe is called the cattle herding city. When I was 15 years old, I went out to herd cattle and met a group of warriors on horseback. They snatched My cow and I, so I was sold to the arena, and later came here on a big ship, and those who just left me were my five masters." The man said.

Chai Lin said: "I can save you, but you have to be obedient, fight for me, and work for me."

"Okay, I promise you. You are my master."

"Looking at your dark body and great strength, I will give you a name, Bison."

"Thank you, the master, for giving the name to the bison." The bison said and kissed the ground at Chailin's feet.

Bison was sweating in pain, and Chai Lin took out Lu Langzhong's golden sore medicine from his body and applied it, and the pain immediately eased.

Chai Lin said: "We can't delay. The buffalo's leg is seriously injured and needs to be boned immediately. Zheng Nan helped him into the carriage."

Bison saw that Chailin's carriage was so luxurious, it was even better than the carriage of the European emperor Lao Tzu, so he dared not sit in it, so he shook his head and said, "Bison dare not ride in the owner's carriage, for fear of dirtying the owner's carriage."

Chai Lin thought so too, the buffalo had too much body odor.It happened that there was a big car shop on the side of the road, and Chai Lin rented a shelf car for fifty renminbi, and let Dian Zhengnan push it to a bone setting shop.

The door of the medical hall was closed tightly. Obviously, the doctor had already fallen asleep.Xie Bao knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man came out after a while.

Xie Bao said: "I'm sorry for disturbing you in the middle of the night, someone hurt his leg, please take a look."

This doctor's morality is still very good. Although he woke up in the middle of the night, he didn't complain at all, and said, "Push people in."

When the doctor saw the patient, his whole body was charcoal black, and he couldn't tell it was a person without grinning, so he was shocked.

"Here, is this a worker digging coal?" the doctor asked.

Chai Lin said: "This is a Kunlun slave, a person from overseas, and his skin color is different from ours, but this person's nature is not bad, you can rest assured, and the two of us will watch."

The doctor took the small wooden stick and handed it to Chailin, saying, "Let him bite, endure the pain, and I'll check his injury."

Bison said: "Thank you Langzhong, I can understand."

Dian Zhengnan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Hei, this pain is nothing, don't scream."

The bison bit the stick, and the doctor reached out and touched the black and swollen calf, and said, "Where did you get the ointment you put on?"

Chai Lin said: "I took it with me, I saw that he was injured and smeared some, is there any problem?" This is Lu Langzhong's unique and secret medicine for golden sores.

"No problem, it seems that the medicine should work well."

The doctor felt and felt suddenly, and squeezed his hands hard.

"Ah." The bison screamed in pain.

The doctor was skillful, and quickly took the splint and bandaged it. After a while, the bison's right leg was tied up and turned into a mummy.

The doctor said: "Fortunately, the situation is not serious, but the bone is cracked. After taking medicine for a few days and using a walking stick, I can go to the ground in sixty or seventy days. It takes about a hundred days to recover from a hundred."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor."

The doctor prescribed ten packs of medicine and brought a simple crutch made of tree branches.

Chailin asked, "How much?"

"Fifty Wen for bone setting, 350 Wen for medicine, and [-] Wen for free crutches," said the doctor.

Chai Lin asked Xie Bao to pay five hundred Wen, and said, "I'm sorry for waking up Lang Zhong in the middle of the night."

The doctor only took 350 papers and said: "Patients must not pick their time when they are sick. It is normal for a doctor to wake up in the middle of the night. It is enough to charge money to maintain the normal operation of my medical center. If you charge too much, you will damage yourself." rules."

Chai Lin was in awe. This doctor may be a barefoot doctor without a certificate, but his feelings and medical ethics can be said to be very noble.

"Thank you, Langzhong. My name is Chai Lin. I do a small business in Dongping Mansion. This is my name card. If you have anything to do, you can find me at Dongping Paper Shop." Chai Lin gave Lang Zhong a name card.

"Ok."

Chai Lin's reputation in Dongping Mansion was very small, and the doctor didn't care, so the polite Chai Lin's name card was put away.

After seeing a doctor, the group found a small shop to rest.

In the morning, in the courtyard of the paper mill, the beater was beating pulp into the pond.The soaked reed powder is filled in an iron bucket and poured into the hopper of the beater.The beater vibrates slightly and makes a rustling sound.

The eyeballs of Chen Long, the director of the paper mill, almost popped out, all this was beyond his understanding.It’s too fast, the soaked grass powder is added, and the pulp is beaten out from the pulp outlet below. It is very fine, and the pulp is so fine that the paper produced is good. It is good for writing calligraphy, drawing, and going to the toilet. use.

If I had this equipment at the beginning, the workshop would not have closed down. After playing for half an hour, the pool was already full.

Hundreds of workers started working with the paper-making frame with gauze, which is hand-made paper.Put the gauze frame into the pulp pool, take it out, and the delicate gauze is full of pulp. The workers take the frame to a fixed place to dry, and after it is completely dry, use bamboo strips to remove the paper. The paper is ready.The color of the reed paper is off-white, and the paper is delicate and soft.A bundle of one hundred sheets, and a bundle of ten bundles.This is household paper. Restaurants put this kind of paper on the table, and customers use it to wipe tableware and chopsticks. Moderate people also buy it for toilet use.

The racks for drying paper cover an area of ​​tens of acres, and the workers shuttle back and forth like ants. It must be said that in an era of backward productivity, more people can be more powerful.Now it can only be regarded as a trial production. The drying room has not been built yet, that is, the production is sunny. Once the weather is not suitable, the production can only be stopped.

Chen Long took a pack of papers, rode on horseback and came to the dilapidated yard where Chai Lin stayed temporarily.

As soon as he entered the living room, Chen Long happily said: "Master, it has been made, it has been made."

"Oh, it's pretty quick. Let me take a look." Chailin took the paper and looked at it carefully. The color of the paper that had not been bleached by chemicals was light yellow and gray, and it exuded a faint smell of reeds.

"It feels good, no burrs, and no handle. But the packaging needs to be worked on. Restaurants must use small bags, and the design must be beautiful. It is affordable for home use, and the bags can be slightly larger, but such a large bundle is too big. It weighs a few kilograms, and it is obviously not suitable to use it for several months. It should be smaller, so that it feels cheap. The packaging paper bag should also be beautiful, and you can print some poems on the packaging bag to add some mood.” Chailin suggested. .

Wu Yong was very surprised, and said: "This is really fast, what is our production cost?"

Director Chen said: "For this large bundle of five catties of paper, one thousand sheets of paper, the cost of reeds is more than one penny, and the cost of crushing and pulping is just half a penny. The focus is on drying and packaging. The key is on drying and packaging. The total cost is about 150 yuan. The market retail price is around [-] yuan, and non-middle-class families are not willing to use it."

Wu Yong said to Chai Lin: "Why don't we sell it at a low price first, sell it to merchants for [-] yuan, and ask the merchants to sell it to retail buyers for [-] yuan. In less than half a year, all the small paper workshops will be closed down." , then shall we raise the price again?"

Chen Long was shocked when he heard this, the master's strategy is really ruthless, the quality is better than that produced by small workshops, and the price is double that of small workshops.As long as it goes public, I am afraid that all the small paper mills will have to close down within three months.

Chai Lin said: "Our goal is to make money, not to monopolize. The price will not be kept too low, and there must be some way for small workshops to survive. The quality is better than theirs, and the price is enough for them."
