Chapter 221 Director Tang asked about papermaking

Tian Xujia thought for a while and said, "It's almost time for Xiaoxue. You'll come too when the time comes?"

Chen Fan smiled: "I go out a lot, and I may be outside for a long time in the next period."

Tian Xujia was a little surprised: "Do you still have to be outside often? There is not much trouble behind it, right?"

"I have to go and see the fields in Shengping County. There is a mountain I haven't been to yet."

"Aren't the mountains over there planting trees and bamboo? Maybe the maple leaves are just the time to look good." The Tian family also knows very well about the Liu family buying mountains and land.

"Go to see the maple leaves together?" Chen Fan sent an invitation.

Tian Xujia was a little hesitant: "I want to talk to my parents first, I can't just make the decision."

Chen Fan smiled and said nothing.

Tian Xujia sat for a while and left. Tang Chaoying and Zhongshuling returned to the backyard.

Director Tang looked at Zhang Ci: "When did Mr. Zhang build the papermaking workshop? You seem to have been busy these months, right?"

Zhang Ci raised his lips lightly: "Time is very fast, and I made the first piece of paper on August 16th, it's simple."

"You won't just sell that kind of paper, right?" Tang Chaoying curled his lips.

"Of course, I later made a batch of paper for eight days."

"Eight days? You still have to harvest sweet potatoes, you have to go to Qingzhou City to display the threshing machine model, and you have to go to Shengping County to harvest rice. When are you busy with papermaking?"

"Butler Feng." Zhang Ci smiled faintly.

Tang Chaoying didn't believe it at all: "Butler Feng has hardly been to Wangjiadun. How did he learn papermaking skills?"

Zhang Ci said calmly: "I have three guards and two maids, all of whom are learning to make paper."

Tang Chaoying still didn't believe it: "I figured it out in a few days? How many papermaking workshops can't improve papermaking skills in a few years. Don't tell me, you'll figure it out in a few days."

Chen Fan smiled slightly and said nothing. He really couldn't practice very exquisite craftsmanship in a few days, but the methods she learned have condensed thousands of years of wisdom.

Chu Sheng came over to serve tea, Tang Chaoying took a sip and asked, "How did you do it?"

"It's okay to tell Lord Tang." Zhang Ci smiled: "I'll tell you mulberry paper. Wang Jiadun's mulberry trees are everywhere, and Chen Fan's land has been planted in several rows."

Commander Tang was surprised: "You are willing to say it? Are you not afraid of revealing any secrets?"

"I said it, Lord Tang may not be able to do it." Zhang Ci smiled, and Tang Chaoying felt that it was a ridicule.

Zhang Ci also took a sip of tea: "The first step is to soak the mulberry branches in water, then peel off the dark skin on the surface, and remove the inner layer of white bark. Put it in a large iron pot filled with water.

, stir while cooking, until the bark is cooked, soft and rotten, and dried in the field."

"Soak directly or dry it? How long does it take to soak? How long does it take to cook?" Tang Chaoying's professional habits broke out again.

The Secretarius smiled at the corner of his mouth, and lowered his head and drank a sip of tea.

"Dry it and soak it, soak it for a long time with clean water. As for the difference in the soaking effect of one day, two days and three days, Lord Tang still needs to try it himself."

“How long does it take to cook?”

"Twelve hours."

Tang Chaoying frowned: "Is this a rotation necessary? But can rotation ensure that the operations of each batch of workers are reliable?"

Zhang Ci smiled and said nothing. Isn’t the Ministry of Revenue very good at labor arrangement and management?

Commander Tang also smiled, looked at Shuling in the eyes and said, "Junior Zhang still has many details on this first step. Will you cook it directly after soaking the mulberry bark?"

Zhang Ci smiled and said, "You really can't hide anything from Lord Tang. You are also very familiar with papermaking?"

Tang Chaoying took a sip of tea: "The Ministry of Revenue has a lot of things, so you need to know a little about all aspects." He looked at Chen Fan: "Miss Chen is also involved in papermaking? Can you talk about this first step?"

"Of course. Find a stream, put the bark in the water, soak it in the running water for several days until it becomes soft. Then put the lime in the ratio of 100 kilograms of mulberry bark with 30 kilograms of lime, and let it sit in the wooden barrel overnight

.Then pour it into an iron pot, seal it tightly with mud, and burn it for twelve hours."

She doesn't need to talk about how to burn the fire?

Tang Chaoying was silent for a while and looked at Shuling dissatisfiedly: "This young master is not honest in speaking."

"He is not frank, he just said it in a general way, and Miss Chen said it in a more detailed way."

Tang Chaoying laughed: "It's so good to protect your shortcomings. Soak for three or four days, let it sit overnight, and burn for twelve hours. If you go out, how can you do this job?"

"It's not far from Wangjiadun to Shengping County."

Tang Chaoying didn't say anything anymore and drank tea quietly.

Chen Fan lowered her head and chuckled. She tried to make paper and dyes in the first month of her new home. After two months of trial, when Zhang Ci started, she had already operated according to her mature experience.

Zhang Ci and his guards had a very strong learning ability. After trying twice, they could pound the pulp fine and evenly, absorb the pulp in the mold smoothly. After practicing each program, Zhang Ci started to arrange the papermaking workshop.

The guards directly used Chen Fan's method to guide the workers in operation.

After drinking two cups of tea, Tang Chaoying asked again: "How do the words on those books are printed? Don't tell me it's woodblock printing, I don't believe it."

"Keep confidential." Zhang Ci smiled faintly.

Chen Fan looked at his smile, then looked at Zhongshuling.

"If more and more people know about it, they still have to say it out." Chief Tang said slowly.

"Then let's talk about it later." Zhang Ci didn't care at all.

Chief Tang was silent again, but he didn't drink tea again.

Yan Shoulu returned to the mountain village that morning, arranged a task, and led a team to raid three bandit villages.

Chen Zhongzhu looked at the busy soldiers back and forth and said, "I feel that it's okay to divide into five groups and attack the five bandit camps."

Chen Zhongyan glanced at him: "So anxious?"

"It's not that I feel anxious, I think these copycats are not very strong, and having two hundred soldiers should be enough."

Chen Zhongyan shook his head: "Not to mention that there are more than 100 people, sometimes even if there are more than 100 people, the strengths and weaknesses of the battle will change greatly. Two hundred soldiers will not be so easy. Try to avoid casualties, next

That Black Tiger Village is awesome."

"It's the one with the most powerful and cruelest person in the industry." Chen Zhongzhu said what he knew.

“The mountains over there are also the most steep.”
