Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Chapter 85 Pencil
The two messed around for a while, and Xue Lince sat back at the desk.

The pencils of later generations are all made of graphite and clay. Xue Lince always feels a little bald. He doesn't know whether the current graphite mine has been mined, whether it can be used by civilians, or what it is called now.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Lince thought of the ink sticks he usually used for writing. This must have something to do with Shi Mo.

"My lady, do you know what this ink ingot is made of?" Xue Lince looked at Tang Luoyu and asked mysteriously.

Tang Luoyu naturally knew it, picked up the ink ingot on the table, shook it, and said strangely: "Are you talking about this? We always use pine smoke ink at home. We take pine branches and burn them. Put a bowl on top of it and collect the soot on it to make it. It's done."

It sounds expensive... Xue Lince looked at the ink ingot in Tang Luoyu's hand, and swallowed unconsciously.

But when he thought of the Tang family's wealth, he felt relieved.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Lince saw the eyebrow pencil on the small table. When he made it, he used modern thinking to do it, but the eyebrows in ancient times were just graphite...

It really didn't take much effort, Xue Lince smiled a little.

Seeing him laughing like this suddenly, Tang Luoyu was a little surprised: "Why are you laughing all of a sudden?"

Xue Lince stepped forward to surround Tang Luoyu: "I thought of a novel thing, which needs thrushstones to make."

"Thrushstone?" Tang Luoyu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect how he suddenly transferred from the previous thing to this one, "Do you want to make eyebrow pencil? I think the one you make now is more useful."

"No, no, it's not an eyebrow pencil." Xue Lince pinched her cheek, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tool. I want to be a pen that I use for painting."

Tang Luoyu didn't quite understand it, but she didn't delve into it: "As for the thrush stone, just go and buy some, and the price is not too expensive."

Xue Lince nodded, picked up the brush and continued to write down the formula and the shape to be made. He was not sure about the ratio of clay to graphite, so he wrote it down and asked the workers to test it by themselves.

It also stated that the ratio should be clearly memorized, and I will show it to him when the time comes.

Thinking that he would be able to use the pencil in a few days, Xue Lince felt a little itchy.

Within a few days, Uncle Wang brought over with a small basket of burnt "ink sticks", but his face was a little surprised and awkward.

"Master, this is what you want." Uncle Wang put the wicker basket on the table, "It's just that the quality of this thing is really..."

Xue Lince heard that Uncle Wang was coming, and immediately came to the door, lifted the covering cloth, and looked at Uncle Wang in relief.

The shape is a cylinder as thick as chopsticks, about the length of a palm. Xue Lince picked up one and looked at it carefully. After dipping his hands in some powder, he picked up the rice paper on the table and wrapped it, and cut out a pointed end with a knife. .

With a slight stroke on the paper, a thin line appeared.

Xue Lince looked at it, and it said 2%, which was about [-]B pencils. Feeling the familiar feeling of his subordinates, he was extremely happy.

Uncle Wang on the other side was also a little dumbfounded. When he was experimenting on his own before, he only thought that Xue Lince was going to develop a new ink ingot, and the ones they fired were not easy to melt in water, so he thought it was a failure.

I came here tremblingly, but I didn't expect it to be used like this.

Xue Lince was obviously very satisfied. With two swipes, a naive kitten appeared on the paper. Tang Luoyu leaned over to look: "This, is this made of thrushstone a few days ago?"

"Yes, look at this line." Xue Lince nodded, pointing to the line on the rice paper, "It's much faster than drawing with a hook line."

He added some shadows to the kitten, which made it look more three-dimensional: "And you can also control the shade, which is very convenient."

Uncle Wang breathed a sigh of relief. He thought this thing had failed, but he didn't expect that this is what my uncle wanted.

"This..." Tang Luoyu naturally understood. She thought about it carefully, thinking about the business opportunities involved.

Xue Lince also understood what Tang Luoyu was thinking, so he continued to talk about the advantages of this brush: "It's not for writing brushes, it can be wiped off if you make a mistake, just dip it in a steamed bun and it will be clean."

Tang Luoyu frowned upon hearing this. The steamed buns are made of grain, so it would be a waste of grain.

"This ink stick is cheap and easy to carry." Xue Lince thought about whether it could be the same as the pencil in the future, but he gave up immediately. People nowadays don't seem to accept this writing method, and the slot is still Kneading into such a thin strip, I feel that it is still a bit too troublesome.

In this way, the advantage of cheap pencils is lost.

"I'm afraid only some poor scholars will use it." Tang Luoyu sighed, "I'm afraid there is no way to make money."

Xue Lince hugged her shoulder to comfort her.

"Hiss... but it can have other functions!" Tang Luoyu looked at Xue Lince with bright eyes, "This will be of great benefit to Mr. Yu."

Xue Lince didn't know why, so he looked at her curiously.

"You will definitely have an official career in the future. If you promote this ink stick in office, you can also open up a new context."

Xue Lince understood what she meant at once. If he got the honor in the exam, unless he was the number one scholar, he would probably be sent to the local government to be a parent official. At that time, this ink stick would come in handy.

"This, this is something I didn't expect." Xue Lince looked at Tang Luoyu in surprise, he didn't expect her to be so quick and quick, "I want to thank my lady."

"A family needs everything, so why do you..." Tang Luoyu's cheeks flushed slightly after hearing what he said, "And Uncle Wang is still here."

Uncle Wang stood on the side, feeling that he couldn't stand up, coughed lightly: "It's nothing, I'll go back to the workshop first."

Tang Luoyu nodded, and Uncle Wang hurriedly left.

This young couple is tired and crooked, they really act like no one else...

But thinking that the two of them are newly married, they are relieved.

I didn't make too many pencils, I just burned some between the firing of glass, and I saved a lot when Xue Lince used it.

Xue Lince also showed it to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao was shocked when he learned about it, and hurriedly asked for details. After all, this involves the national context. After listening to it, he also felt very good. In addition, he felt sorry for his disciples, and said that he would definitely help him in the promotion in the future .

Xue Lince was also a little surprised to get Mr. Zhao's reply, but now he can start designing the appearance Tang Luoyu wants.

This is very simple. In just a few nights, the appearance of the cosmetic box has been designed, and several appearances have been designed according to the grade Tang Luoyu said before.

After all, he was also a designer before, and his work has not been lost during this period of time, and he is very satisfied with the manuscript.

Tang Luoyu was on the side, picked it up to have a look, and asked a little strangely, "What is this?"
