In fact, this awl looks the same as the awl used by people in later generations to remove and modify clothes. When Fu Xuechen was young, he saw that his grandmother used it. The entire cone was too slender and not only needed to be added to a wooden pole, but also had to cut the pencil-like vertebrae on the head of the wooden pole to wrap the tip of the awl.

"Yes! That's great!" Fu Xuechen praised Master Liu repeatedly, which gave Master Liu a warm smile.

If you solve all the pen, ink and paper, then the rest will not be difficult. It is nothing more than a shallow wooden box for putting paper, with a concave square frame of wax paper hoops, so that the drum that has been evenly dipped ink can be rolled over wax paper. These tasks can be left to the carpenters who have arrived.

After all the orders were given, Yang Qian saw that Fu Xuechen no longer had any new requests, so he invited the two of them to go to the public housing outside to have tea and wait.

Fu Xuechen was unwilling to go. In just a short moment, the carpenter actually made a wooden roller of uniform thickness and a short handle. Now, according to Fu Xuechen's description and requirements, he was drilling holes on both ends of the wooden rollers and preparing them to be embedded with metal bearings.

Seeing that he was skillful and fast, Fu Xuechen couldn't bear to leave, so he wanted to watch him make the ink rollers in his mind with his own eyes. Even Yoonzuo was curious about seeing the finished product as soon as possible, so he refused Yang Qian's invitation and stood by and watched with Fu Xuechen.

Yang Qian is actually just polite etiquette. He spent his whole life in the Ministry of Industry. How could people who ran around the workshop of the Ministry of Industry dislike all their strange atmospheres and busy craftsmen? Since the two children refused to drink tea, he was naturally happy to be with him.

After a while, Xiao Sun's apprentice who went to get wax paper and the craftsman who went to get square smooth copper plates all returned to the printing workshop one after another.

The copper plate has been polished and smooth. Just a layer of potion can be added to make the bronze mirror surface that can be seen by light. Now, if the process of potion is missing, it is only smooth. When the mirror is not enough, it can only reflect a blurred outline.

In fact, the hardness of the copper plate is not large enough. If you use a stencil to carve wax paper, it is estimated that it will not be used for many times, and many fine marks will be left. It is not as hard as steel plates, which can be used for a long time without leaving any traces. Fortunately, Fu Xuechen only plans to use it temporarily, and he can think of a way to replace it with iron plates or steel plates in the future.

The actual appearance of wax paper is somewhat different from what Fu Xuechen thought. It seems to be a little thicker, but when I tried to scratch my nails, the effect was similar. The area where the nails were scratched, the thin layer of batik would be scraped away, leaving white scratches, which was the paper underneath.

Whether it is OK, it still needs to be tried before knowing that Fu Xuechen took advantage of the gaps where the pen and roller were not made yet, so he asked Xiao Sun's apprentice to cut the wax paper into A3 size, and then asked Master Liu to bring the class ruler - the triangle board and ruler of the past, and draw frames and grids on the copper board.

Originally, these square boxes and grids should be drawn on wax paper, but unfortunately the wax paper has been made. Without this process, you can only make up on the copper plate. The wax paper is not transparent enough, and it is a bit tempting to write each word in the grid.

After a while, the grid on the copper plate was cut and the wax paper was cut into a thick stack of A3 size. The carpenter had polished the wooden rollers and handles smoothly. He was following Fu Xuechen's instructions and first made the wooden pole with a stencil, which seemed to be ready soon.

I have to praise the carpenter's handicraft skills are really great! It is worthy of being a craftsman who belongs to the national department. The size, appearance and touch of various finished products are just right, and it is really comfortable to use.

If you want to pursue perfection, these wood products should be painted, but Fu Xuechen couldn't wait. When the white paper and wax paper were installed, he immediately asked Xiao Sun's apprentice to bring pine ink, use the roller in his hand to evenly dip it on, and roll it hard on the wax paper in the wooden frame, and roll it back and forth.

Finally, carefully lifted the wooden frame and saw the top white paper in the wooden box with neatly printed words, exactly the same as the words engraved on wax paper!

Fu Xuechen checked it and found that there was no flaws. He took away the printed white paper with satisfaction, covered it with a wooden frame, and continued to wave the ink roller to print the next white paper. This process is very convenient. One piece can be printed in a few seconds, and it is very decompressed, making people unable to stop playing.

What she didn't notice was that everyone who was watching all this behind her was stunned!

Yoongzuo was fine, with a sudden look on his face: "So that's the case! No wonder I don't need to engrave the words in the opposite way, I understand!"

All the craftsmen looked stunned and demented with a solid expression, and there was probably only a blank in their minds.

Yang Qian seemed to be knocked on the head by someone. He was stunned. His body shook a little, and his mouth was incoherent: "It's like this?! It's possible? How is this possible?! But... but this is really possible! Printing can be so simple?! No need to carve, no need to movable type, no need to learn to engrave text... Just a piece of wax paper, a stencil..."

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Is this the simplest way? This is the simplest way!" Yang Qian's voice gradually rose, and finally he almost shouted out. The man was so excited that his face was flushed and his arms were raised, as if he wanted to thank God.

At this moment, Fu Xuechen turned to look at him, with a surprised look in his eyes. In his eyes, from the annoying bastard boy at the beginning, he gradually became naughty and nonsense, and became a teaching-oriented boy, and in the end, he turned into a cute, once in a thousand years!

Fu Xuechen was stunned for a moment by Yang Qian's crazy reaction, and then gradually reacted, as if, perhaps, the simple printing equipment he temporarily made had an impact on this era beyond his imagination?

Seeing Yang Qian's face full of fanaticism, as if he was about to pounce on him, Fu Xuechen hurriedly held the wooden box, ink, stencil and wax paper in his arms, hid behind Yoonzuo, and stated: "Master Yang, thank you for your cooperation today. It's too late. We are going back. Let's come back tomorrow! We will take these immature and crude little things away without politely!"

Yoongzuo turned around and saw her urged eyes, and was stunned and understood: "Yes! I'm late to go back. I'm afraid my father will blame me, so we'll say goodbye first!"

The two of them cooperated tacitly to Yang Qian and immediately hurried out.

"Ah! Wait! Wait!"
Chapter completed!
