Chapter 148 Sister and Brother Have a Heart-to-Heart Talk
Mr. Ding Wu didn't believe what Ding Rui said, but Mr. Ding was like a mirror in his heart.
But others don't think so.
Seeing Ding Wuye looking furious and Ding Rui looking dejected, I really believed Ding Rui's words.
"Come on, come on, what are you thinking in your heart, do you think I don't know? Your Fifth Grandpa, I eat more salt than you eat." Seeing Ding Rui pretending to be pitiful, Fifth Grandpa Ding wanted to slap him in the butt.
Kick your feet.
"The price of gauze you mentioned is 50% of the price of cotton. You can draw up another contract later."
As soon as Mr. Ding Wu finished speaking, Mr. Ding secretly sighed in his heart, Lao Wu really couldn't beat Ding Rui! While sighing, he became more sure that his decision was correct.
Ding Rui's heart suddenly brightened, and he shouted in his heart: Fifth Grandpa, you are so cute! I can't wait to kiss Ding Wu's big, bearded face!
Ding Wuye fell for Ding Rui's trick without realizing it, and he thought he had taken advantage of it.
"Besides, apart from the hills, the nursing home is up to you to choose. Also, is it time you gave me the formula for making paper?" Ding Wuye didn't wait for Ding Rui to speak, and then said:
"Then again, if the paper is successfully made according to your formula, I can give you 40% of it. If not, what should you say?"
Whoops~ Are you back to the 'Fifth Master Ding's normal mode' so quickly? Ding Rui thinks that his Fifth Grandpa is really cute. He also knows the principle of 'first being a villain, then being a gentleman'!
Ever since Grandpa Wu asked me about papermaking a few months ago, I have been thinking about it every day. I don't know how many brain cells have died, but I finally figured it out.
But the formula I gave you is much whiter in color than the current paper, and its toughness is far beyond the current papermaking level. But it still can't be compared with the 21st century. The main reason is that science and technology can't reach it.
Ding Rui also looked at many famous paintings by famous people during this period. The paper they used was better than ordinary writing paper, but it was very expensive. A piece of paper was much more expensive than a meter of cloth. The cost of making paper was also very high.
Most Chinese traditional paintings are based on rice paper. In this generation, rice paper already exists, but it is very precious, so Ding Rui's next step is to work on rice paper.
"There is no problem with this. If paper cannot be made according to my formula, I will pay all the lost time and material costs during this period. This can be written into the contract."
"Okay!" This is what Ding Wuye has been waiting for.
"But there is one more thing. The paper I need in the future must be given to me at cost price!"
"Okay!" Mr. Ding Wu agreed wholeheartedly. The cost of paper is low and it is easy to produce. But the important thing is how much paper can Ding Rui use? Thinking of this, Mr. Ding feels more and more that Ding Rui is too stingy.
Ding Rui and Ding Wuye negotiated the details and went to the south courtyard to sign the contract.
Ding Huixin, Yu Shi, Ding Zhenyue, Ding Fang and others got together again and chatted about interesting things about Laba. While chatting, the topic of Ding Huixin's dowry came up.
After Ding Zhenyue heard this, her little face was full of anger, and she really wanted to rush into Gao's house to argue.
Ding Zhenyue didn't expect that there were such shameless people in the world? They cheated people out of people for dowry, but they sold their own sons to the child's mother?
There is really no good person in this family. Fortunately, my sister, Xiaorui, and Xiaofang are back, otherwise the Gao family would really be in trouble!
Compared with Ding Zhenyue, Ding Fang is quite calm. She is so calm that it makes people feel distressed.
On the one hand, she had known for a long time that Mr. Yao had racked his brains to defraud her mother into getting her dowry, and on the other hand, it chilled her heart to think that when her stepmother poisoned her, her own father did not stop her.
Ding Fang had no feelings for the Gao family for a long time. She felt that it was only a matter of time before the Gao family fell to the current situation, and they deserved it. But deep down in her heart, she had been worried about her grandfather and the old lady. She didn't know that her grandfather had seen the Gao family with his own eyes.
How would you feel if you lost at his hands?
But there is nothing she can do about these things!
"Xiaofang, your father sold you to me. From now on, you will be your mother's daughter, and no one can bully you!" Ding Huixin held Ding Fang's hand tightly, fearing that the child would disappear if she let go.
It turns out that when Ding Rui came back, he silenced everyone and told everyone that Ding Fang was sold to Ding Huixin by Gao Xianwei for 500 taels, so Ding Huixin said this.
Ding Fang's hand was so painful from being grabbed by Ding Huixin, but she did not cry out. This pain made her understand Ding Huixin's feelings even more. She knew that Ding Huixin's love for her was genuine.
It is said that three women make a show, and when these four women sit together, they have endless topics to talk about.
After talking about Ding Huixin's dowry, they started talking about Ding Zhenyue and Ding Fang's marriage. The two little girls were so shy that they took the opportunity to run away without saying anything.
Ding Fang came out of the main room and went to look for Ding Rui, but Ding Rui was still talking to Li Si and Zhang Ping.
It wasn't until lunch that Ding Fang had the chance to talk to Ding Rui alone.
"Xiao Rui, I can graduate next year!" When Ding Fang said this, she did not avoid Ding Ling. Even Ding Dong and Ding Xi were present.
