Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

After seeing off the old patriarch and others, Huo Tianxiang did not leave. He came to Huo Yunchao and said, "Chao'er, you have always been thorough in your work. For such a big thing as papermaking, if you are determined to make paper, you will not forget to report to the old patriarch. Be prepared. Chao'er, tell me honestly, have you had any difficulties recently?"

It is impossible for the eldest son to forget to report to the old patriarch, unless he never thought of reporting in the first place, and the reason for not reporting was that he encountered unsolvable difficulties.

Huo Yunchao did not smile playfully with his father and try to fool him like before. Instead, he answered honestly: "Dad, I have never made bamboo paper. I am afraid that I will not be able to make it, and I don't feel confident."

Huo Tianxiang breathed a sigh of relief, patted his eldest son on the shoulder, and comforted him: "There is a first time for everything. If you don't succeed, try it a few more times. You are so smart, and you will succeed if you try a few times. Wait until dad finishes the scheduled threshing. After the machine is finished, call Yunyao and the others to come over and help you."

Huo Yunchao said the same thing as Xu Ning: "Dad, the construction schedule is so tight, it's important for you to make a threshing machine. Brother Zheng and I will try it first. If we really can't figure it out, we can ask dad for advice."

Huo Tianxiang asked again and again until he was sure that Huo Yunchao really didn't need his help, and then he went home to make the threshing machine.

After sending away the clan members headed by the old patriarch, the Xu family soon welcomed a wave of villagers who wanted to verify the authenticity of the news. When they entered the door, they asked: "Huo Dalang, are you really going to let everyone see how you make paper?"

"Yes! You heard me right, that's what I planned."

Huo Yunchao explained the situation to them calmly and said generously: "This is my first time making paper. I don't know if I can make it. If it doesn't work, I hope you can tell me.

Show mercy. "

The leading woman disagreed and said: "Huo Dalang, you are so smart, how can you not make bamboo paper? When the time comes, I will ask my husband and children to come over and help you!"

An honest-looking man said, "Huo Dalang, we are not in vain. If you need help, just ask! We don't need money, we only have a handful of energy that can't be exhausted."

A young woman didn't have any scheming and said in public: "Huo Dalang, it must be difficult to make something as precious as paper. It's normal if it can't be made."

"Bah, bah, bah! You stupid bitch with long hair and short knowledge! What are you talking about? There are so many scholars in the world, who can come up with a wheelbarrow, a threshing machine, a grain blower, and a wheat hammer like us? Lang, don’t take my stupid wife’s words to heart. If you don’t succeed once, try a few more times!”

"Don't you two mean the same thing? Okay, okay, if you can't speak, just shut up!"

The villagers came and went talking and arguing.

As the protagonist, Huo Yunchao had no right to speak. He stood aside and listened to their arguments with a smile.

There are 72 processes in hand-made papermaking. Each process has different technical requirements and there are many problems that need to be solved. Huo Yunchao has never actually made bamboo paper. Just thinking about passing the 72 levels makes him feel guilty.

In addition, Huo Yunchao casually memorized the bamboo paper craftsmanship while watching documentaries in his spare time, so he was unsure and could not guarantee that the bamboo paper craftsmanship was practical and effective.

At this moment, Huo Yunchao glanced at the fresh faces and the pairs of eyes full of trust in him, and his chest surged with great pride: Is there such a thing?

Many people are willing to try it with him, so what does he have to be afraid of?

The worst result is that he tried many times in a row and failed.

Will you die if you fail to make bamboo paper? Won't!

There is no big deal except life and death!

He doesn't have to think so much about what he has and what he doesn't have. Just thinking about making paper won't make it happen on his own. What he really has to do is: try the papermaking process he remembers and verify it step by step!

No matter what the result is, he must get started and do it before he can gain experience!

As waves of villagers came to the door, Huo Yunchao personally received them every time. He repeated the same words so many times that he didn't want to speak.

Zheng Shaoxuan watched the whole process and saw that Huo Yunchao was like a wilted fish. He smiled and joked: "Brother Huo, sometimes being too popular is not a good thing."

Huo Yunchao glared at Zheng Shaoxuan, who was not too concerned about the excitement, raised his chin, and signaled Zheng Shaoxuan to quickly choose the dishes and stop talking nonsense!

His mouth was tired of talking and he didn't even bother to say a word.

Zheng Shaoxuan laughed louder and louder: "Brother Huo, how about I make you some tea to moisten your throat?"

"Brother-in-law!"

Huo Yunchao gritted his teeth and called "brother-in-law."

Zheng Shaoxuan's gloating laughter stopped abruptly. He subconsciously raised his ears and looked on guard, fearing that Lin Xiaocao would rush out and pluck his ears.

Huo Yunchao felt secretly happy, snorted, and continued to prepare the food for the recognition banquet. Father Xu said that there will be two tables of guests invited to the marriage recognition ceremony.

People kept coming to inquire about the news. Xu Ning and Lin Xiaocao were so noisy that their heads were buzzing, so they had to move the battlefield to the backyard to develop paper curtains.

After sending away the last wave of villagers, Huo Yunchao simply closed the door and thanked the guests.

Yi went to the backyard and asked about the development progress of the paper curtains: "Ning Niang, Sister Xiaocao, at what stage has the paper curtains been developed?"

"Not a single horoscope."

Xu Ning answered without raising his head, cutting the bamboo slices and cutting the bamboo silk: "Mr. Sir, I found that the bamboo soaked in water cannot be used to weave bamboo curtains. The bamboo silk is not tough enough and is easy to break. Sister Xiaocao and I have been since I spent a long time picking through the bamboo forest at the back door, and finally found good bamboo with good toughness, long knots, and well-proportioned bamboo. The cut bamboo filaments are tough and will not break easily when used to weave bamboo curtains."

Lin Xiaocao on the side added: "Brother Huo, is it better to cut the bamboo silk as finely as possible? Come over and see the effect I made with bamboo silk. The thinner the bamboo silk, the finer the curtain will be. We I just tried it with lime. The finer the bamboo curtain, the finer the lime on the remaining curtain. Your brother-in-law said that the bamboo curtain is used to lift paper pulp. The finer the bamboo curtain, the finer the pulp remaining on the bamboo curtain. Finally, The paper that comes out will be finer and smoother. Huo Di, am I right or wrong in thinking this?"

Listening to Lin Xiaocao's words, Huo Yunchao's eyes sparkled, and he was not stingy with praise: "Yes! Sister Xiaocao, you are right to think so! Lime water and pulp water are not the same thing, but their principles are connected. .Sister Xiaocao, it’s really amazing that you can think of this step to verify the effectiveness of the bamboo curtain!”

As a great man said, the wisdom of working people is endless!

Lin Xiaocao turned around and carried a palm-long braided bamboo curtain to Huo Yunchao. He pointed at the lime remaining on the paper curtain and asked a new question: "Huo brother, come here and take a look. No matter how thin the bamboo silk is cut, it can't be braided." No matter how dense it is, the bamboo curtain is still a bit delicate.

bulge. There is a lot of lime remaining on the convex part of the bamboo curtain. No matter how fine the paper pulp is, it cannot be compared to lime water. It is all pulp that should remain on the bamboo curtain. It will only be more than lime, right? "
