Daqin: I was heard by Zulong at the beginning

Chapter 67 What kind of monster is Su Chen going to be this time?
But who would have thought of 100 taels of gold, and Su Chen was satisfied again.Anyway, no matter how much the bounty Ying Zheng gave would not be more than 100 taels, he still earned it after all.

After the court, Fu Su went to work at the agency, and Su Chen returned home with the box.

Today I will pound the fermented bark in the tank. This is the real step into papermaking. I am really excited to think about it!
Of course, before that, he had to see what bounty Ying Zheng gave him!Su Chen held the box and shook it, there was some movement, but she didn't know what it was.

When Su Chen opened it, he was stunned, it was a dagger!Why a short sword?Wasn't Ying Zheng assassinated by Jing Ke?Does he have no shadow over the short sword?
Su Chen picked up the dagger, um, Ying Zheng's shot was pretty good, the sword was sharp, and the hilt was not only exquisite, but also inlaid with a big gemstone.

If it is well preserved, it will not be a problem at all to sell it for tens of millions after more than 2000 years.

Su Chen admired it for a while, and temporarily forgave Ying Zheng for not giving the bounty because the dagger was still there.

In fact, it's not that Ying Zheng doesn't want to give it, but Meng Yi is about to send troops, and he doesn't want to take out half a tael of gold.The reason why he gave the short sword was because he had too many things in the warehouse, so it didn't matter if he gave it away.

Why not just send it out on a tray?Because he couldn't remember the origin of this dagger, if it was given by a courtier, wouldn't it be a way of sending his heart out in front of the courtier?

Although he really didn't like this group of courtiers who didn't do anything, he was still embarrassed to do such a heartbreaking thing.

Su Chen carefully put away the dagger. This was the first treasure that Su Chen had when he came to Daqin. In the future, he might have to rely on it to show off in front of others.

After coming out of the room, Su Chen came to the backyard and started the next step of his papermaking business, pounding bark.

Although there were not many barks, the beating process was very difficult. Su Chen mobilized ten attendants to beat together, from morning to night, Su Chen stopped.

This beating process makes the bark loose and tough, and the fibrous tissue is more resilient.

But the attendants didn't understand, and they were speechless.What do you beat the bark for?Beat it up and eat it?But can this be eaten?
One of the attendants took out some crushed bark and smelled it, but it smelled bad and could not be eaten by visual inspection.But what if it doesn't taste good?Keep pounding.

When Su Chen called to stop, almost everyone was about to cry, and finally stopped, and finally they didn't have to listen to the sound of "tom tom tom".It's been a torment all day long.

However, Su Chen immediately arranged a second job, stirring.It is to put the crushed bark pulp into the water tank and keep stirring, so that the pulp can be fully integrated into the water, and there will be no big lumps when making paper.

Fortunately, this job doesn't require many people. Su Chen still let these ten people do it, but only two people are needed to play each time.Because it was the first time to do it, Su Chen wanted to do his best, so the stirring time was extraordinarily long, he set it for one day and one night.

He will wait until tomorrow night to see the result. If the effect is not satisfactory, he may have to continue stirring.

It is the first time to make paper, and there is no case to learn from, so I can only explore a little bit.Su Chen is very grateful to Ying Zheng at this moment. Fortunately, he is married to the princess, so he has a bunch of attendants to use and a lot of money to squander.

Otherwise, if he transmigrated to the poor, the most he could do now would be to plow the land with a Quyuan plow.If you want to eat noodles, you have to cook for a long time to save enough money to buy wheat.I can't afford a stone mill, so I can only use the simplest stone mortar.

Ying Zheng, whom he was talking about, is currently in the palace listening to Fu Su's report on the operation of the new agency.Hearing Fusu's clear analysis, Yingzheng couldn't help being in a daze.This son was a dull scholar a few months ago, but now he has such a strong understanding and planning of an organization, and even revealed some black-bellied methods.

This Su Chen, how did he do it?
After Fusu's report was over, Ying Zheng didn't comment, but asked, "Did your husband teach you all of this?"

As soon as Fusu heard that he asked about his husband, he immediately said enthusiastically: "He taught me similar things, and I applied them to institutions."

When Ying Zheng faced his son, he was actually very patient. He nodded, "It seems that Su Chen has indeed taught you a lot. He will also teach you when he invents new foods?"

Fusu's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily, "Yeah! Mister is very good! You can cut a large potato into thin shreds, making it hot and sour. It's not made of cornel, it's a kind of pepper called chili. Made of stuff! Tastes better than dogwood!"

At this moment, Fusu no longer had the prudent look that he had just matured, but instead looked like a lively young man, discussing the big stars he had liked for many years, and seeing Ying Zheng was sour.This is his son, why should he adore a man of his age so much!

Fusu didn't care about Yingzheng's reaction at all, and kept chattering, "Like the noodles he made, my son was so stupid when he ate it for the first time! He ate three bowls in one sitting!"

Ying Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth, three bowls?Son, you eat too much.Ying Zheng recalled that the first time he ate it, he only had one bowl.Oh yes, he also ate a bowl of glutinous rice noodles.After all, I didn’t eat much less.

Fusu was intoxicated when he thought of the strong fragrance of the noodles. He took a sip and continued, "And Liangpi——"

"Okay, I understand." Ying Zheng quickly interrupted Fusu and said, "Then do you know what he did by soaking a bunch of bark in the water?"

Yingzheng suddenly remembered what he had seen. He had an intuition that the bark soaked and the things he had never seen before were not simple.

Fusu thought for a long time, and said with a troubled face: "Mr. said that soaking bark is for making paper. I asked him what paper is, and he said that he could write and draw. I asked him if he had pen and ink, and he said no. Brush and ink are things that carry brush and ink to write things. My son really didn’t understand it. It’s probably similar to bamboo slips and silk hemp.”

Ying Zheng nodded. If it was written on the bark, he could still figure it out, but it was impossible to write on the bark with pen and ink after soaking the bark like that.So what kind of monster is Su Chen going to be this time?
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more curious he became, and he suddenly slapped the table.He has decided, he wants to live in the Su residence!In name, I haven't seen my daughter for a long time, and I want to know how her life is.

Fusu was taken aback by his slap, thinking that he had said something wrong, so he quickly took a step back and stood up.

Ying Zheng said, "When are you going back?"

Fusu was terribly saddened by Ying Zheng's secret probing tactics to drive people away. He thought his father was satisfied with his performance just now, but it seemed that he had to work harder.
