Chapter 761: Making Paper for Three Days (Asking for Monthly Votes!)
Sha the blacksmith was tricked away by Yan Laoer.
Before coming, he felt that he was not good enough and was afraid of wasting good materials.
When he left, Sha the blacksmith felt that he was good enough again!
He was rejuvenated and confident. It was just a little hard iron, so he would forge it!
…
The oil lamp was stained with warmth all night.
Yan Huaiwen wore newly made home clothes, with wide sleeves, soft and loose, and very comfortable.
"Why did Sha the blacksmith come to our house?" He was looking through the homework of the second child.
Yan Yu, who had just returned quietly after being allowed to go outside to inquire about the news, was very excited: "My parents asked Sha the blacksmith to make a knife for me! The same as Wei Xiaoqi's, this high saber!" She happily gestured the height.
She listened outside the door as her parents and Sha the blacksmith discussed how to make changes. Everything was to her liking.
Haha, just waiting for the day when the knife is finished.
When her eyes fell on the book in her uncle's hand, her pupils trembled, and her joy immediately shrank, retreating faster than the sea water at low tide.
"No need for the stick?" Yan Huaiwen asked gently.
"It's good to have many skills, so practice them all." Yan Yu took a careful step, wanting to move forward a little bit to see where her uncle saw.
Yan Huaiwen did not comment, but said: "Don't go to the military camp tomorrow, I will take you two sisters to make paper."
"Ah? Oh, okay, uncle." Yan Yu responded obediently.
...
Yan Yu returned to the house.
Yan Laoer asked hurriedly, "Have you checked the homework? Is it qualified?"
Yan Yu said uncertainly: "It should be considered that, uncle still didn't say anything, but he is holding my homework, so I am so panicked."
Li Xuemei thought for a while and said: "Your elder sister is engaged, and it is time to bring Teacher Mu back. With Teacher Mu, your uncle can't punish too severely."
Yan Yu cried, "Mom, you have thought about it, right? I feel the same way. I always feel that uncle is going to make a big one for me. He said that he will take me and my elder sister to make paper at home tomorrow. I can't go out. I'm afraid that this paper is not made for me."
"Think about it well, maybe it's because we don't have paper at home." Yan Laoer said dryly.
"Okay, go to bed quickly, kid, uncle must have his reasons." Li Xuemei said: "Dabao, you are obedient, do whatever you are told to do, it's not important whether the homework is completed or not, you don't need to take the exam, but your attitude towards learning."
Yan Yu: Mom's intention is raised, and my heart is settled.
Tomorrow, I must let my uncle know: her sincere desire to learn is evident to the heaven and earth! The sun and the moon can show it!
…
Making paper is an elegant thing.
Each step is repeated continuously, and you must be focused. You cannot make mistakes in the middle. Once you make a mistake, the whole paper will be scrapped.
When you put your mind into it, you will easily forget other things.
The stacked things, layer by layer, are transformed from the pulp of plants and trees into the writing support.
Until the last step of peeling the paper.
The whole process of making paper is empty of thoughts, and the sense of satisfaction accumulates.
It makes people relaxed and happy.
Yan Huaiwen made paper for three days with his daughter and niece.
Except for the step of washing the pulp, which was done early, the rest was not done by others.
For many things, he would rather do it himself than talk about it, and take the two sisters to do it.
Calm down and think quietly.
Qianchu, life is very long, and you will meet many people and many scenery. Dad has seen too much, but he is not sure that the person he chooses for you is definitely the right one. How unbearable the past is, how much hesitation there is today.
Like this recycled paper, with its bones and muscles, it can be reshaped and regenerated.
Even if we both choose the wrong person, it doesn't matter. As long as my son is here, I will plan many possibilities for you. I only hope that my son Qianchu will live a peaceful and happy life with a young face.
Like jade, uncle is always worried that you will be hurt by your wisdom.
You are still young, so there is no need to compete for victory.
It is also like making paper, removing the dross and keeping the essence.
Washing, sedimentation, using cleverness, using the softness of water and the warmth of fire.
The thickness is appropriate.
Not dry or burnt.
…
The Yan family courtyard is peaceful and quiet.
Yan Qianchu unrolls the paper.
Yan Huaiwen classifies it.
According to thickness and density, it is divided into writing and luxury cleaning at home.
He is not a strict self-disciplined person, and he is even more tolerant and protective of his family.
Until now, no outsider has discovered that the Yan family has long abandoned the toilet paper...
Yan Yu cuts paper, she stacks the paper neatly together, about twenty sheets, covers it with a stone slab, and uses her sharp short knife to cut from top to bottom, and the same is true for all four sides. It is really fast.
These cut papers were finally placed in front of Yan Huaiwen.
Every time he counts to fifty, he will clip a cut rough edge as a record.
Li Xuemei puts Xiaoyaer in the basket.
Help Yan Laoer make fragrant soap.
That's right, Yan Laoer is particularly uncomfortable watching his eldest brother, niece and daughter concentrate on making paper without him playing. Since he can't join in, he starts a new business and makes fragrant soap in the same yard. Although they are busy with their own things, they can always see each other.
They made paper for three days, and he was busy with fragrant soap for two and a half days.
The reason for the short half day is to prepare materials.
He discussed with his wife and planned to make a batch of mugwort soap. Children have tender skin and are easily attracted by mosquitoes. Applying it on them when bitten can relieve itching and swelling. It can also be used to wash hands, face and body, which can also have some mosquito repellent effect.
In addition to fragrant soap, Yan Laoer also made some shampoo whenever he had time.
His shampoo is made from pure Chinese herbal medicine. There are several regular customers who order it all year round. He doesn't need to promote it much, relying on word of mouth.
At first, it was used by the second son of the Cheng family, and then it was expanded to the clerks and clerks in the prefecture. Later, I heard that several officials also used it, including Mr. Cheng.
I think it’s because of the pressure of work on weekdays, and the head is getting more and more transparent, especially cool in winter.
Ahem, since the children are going to get engaged, they will be a family in the future, and it’s right to prepare more for the future in-laws.
No matter who is missing, you can’t miss your own family.
“Look at your daughter, doesn’t she look quiet?” Li Xuemei said softly.
Yan Laoer turned his head and looked over, carefully distinguishing.
"After spending three days with her uncle, she is now immersed in the fragrance of books. Yes, she has absorbed the essence of books!"
"Her uncle's trick is good. I felt that Xiaoer was so impatient recently. Look, after being detained at home for a few days, she is so well-behaved and obedient. Oh, our Dabao looks so good. This little round face, every smile and talk, looks so blessed."
Yan Laoer couldn't get enough of looking at her. His daughter was so attractive.
Li Xuemei also laughed.
Dabao has ambitions and wants to work hard. She understands and is willing to support her.
But as a parent, who doesn't want to see their children live a comfortable life?
"I have thought about it. When Dabao repairs the eight-ox crossbow, I will go to aim for her." Li Xuemei said softly, "I am good at using crossbows. There is no reason why it can't be bigger."
Yan Laoer: Is that bigger? That is better, it is completely different.
Li Xuemei's eyes were gentle and fell on her daughter and she was unwilling to move away.
"Practice with me when you have time. Think carefully. Long-range weapons are safer. You don't have Dabao's strength. It's too dangerous to be approached by others. It's better to practice crossbows. But crossbows are not as good as Ba Niu Crossbows. After we practice well, we can each use a crossbow more than one meter long. We can shoot into the city wall and let people climb up. What a great force it takes!"
I want to write better and better. I polished from afternoon to midnight, just polished this chapter~
