The mulberry branches selected by Su Yi are all mature mulberry trees. Before making mulberry paper, special tools must be used to cut along the trunk and peel off the bark.

There are other ways, that is, to expose the mulberry branches in the sun for a while to remove some of the water from the mulberry branches, and then twist them to separate the mulberry bark from the trunk.

Then remove some of the mulberry bark from one end, and then pull out the tree from the middle to get the complete mulberry bark.

Be careful when stripping the bark to avoid damaging the mulberry bark while trying to keep the bark intact.

After Su Yi used two methods of extracting mulberry bark, he entered all these methods into workers No. 1, 2, and 3.

It has to be said that compared to Su Yi's movements, the movements of workers No. 1, 2, and 3 were much faster than Su Yi's.

Sometimes, Su Yi even felt that she shouldn't intervene because she was delaying the team's progress!

[Haha, I finally understand intuitively what it means to be a disciple of the church and starve the master to death. ]

[It’s so funny. It’s obvious that workers No. 1, 2, and 3 are being called. They were all taught by the anchor, but the anchor is not as fast as the robot! ]

[Don’t embarrass the anchor. The anchor is a human being. Of course, he is not like a robot. Everything he does is preset. ]

[But I have to say that this method is really quick to remove mulberry bark. ]

[Anchor, don’t be discouraged, try your best to surpass your robots! ]

……

In order to achieve faster efficiency, Su Yi would not really act as a hands-off shopkeeper and would only let workers 1, 2, and 3 do the work.

Although her speed is not as fast as theirs, if she does more, the speed will be faster.

Several piles of mulberry branches were quickly handled by Su Yi and others.

Su Yi evenly divided the mulberry bark with the trunks removed into equal sizes, and then tied the mulberry bark into handfuls.

The bundled mulberry barks were tied with stones and thrown into the river.

There were stones tied to it. Su Yi pressed some stones from the riverside onto the bark of the mulberry tree to ensure that they would not be washed away by the water. Then he was finished and ready to leave.

[Why did the anchor throw mulberry bark into the river? ]

[I really don’t understand this confusing operation, but I think the host must have a reason for doing this. ]

[I have to say that after being slapped in the face a lot, you have to think carefully before you want to criticize someone. ]

[Anchor, aren’t you going to make mulberry paper? Why should you soak mulberry leaves in water? ]

……

After watching the barrage in the live broadcast room, Su Yi replied, "To make mulberry bark, in addition to removing the trunk in the first step, you also need to remove impurities and dirt from the mulberry bark.

Water soaking is one of the methods. After being washed by the river, it can be very effective in removing dirt and impurities on the mulberry bark.

At the same time, we also have to prepare some auxiliary materials such as straw and flax fiber, which are also indispensable for making mulberry paper. "

Su Yi's science popularization was very good, and the netizens in the live broadcast room quickly understood.

[How long do these mulberry barks need to be soaked? ]

"The soaking time of mulberry bark depends on the temperature and the thickness of the bark. It usually takes 2-3 days. The straw and flax fibers we prepared also need to be soaked, but their soaking time is relatively short."

Su Yi said and walked to the woods beside him.

Rice is grown in her space, so there is still straw, but the flax fiber plant has not yet been found.

But she might still try her luck by looking for it. After all, flax is grown all over China, so flax must have been grown here.

If you are really lucky, you might actually be able to find flax and other plants that can be used to make paper.

Flax is an annual herbaceous plant, upright and hairless, with strong and elastic phloem fibers and a cotton-like structure. The leaves are alternate and the flowers usually grow on the top of the branches or in the upper leaf axils of the branches. They are more or less blue or purple-blue, and some are relatively rare. white or red.

Flax likes a cool and humid climate, is cold-tolerant, and is afraid of high temperatures. Su Yi feels that the nearby environment is very suitable for the growth of flax.

[So the anchor is going to find straw and that plant called flax now? ]

[It should be like this, but the anchor seems to have given birth to rice. There should be no need to look for straw anymore, so now I should look for flax. ]

[I also want to know what linen is? I've never heard of this plant? ]

[It’s weird if you’ve heard of it. It’s like the mulberry paper the anchor mentioned, but you haven’t seen it either! ]

……

"Yes, as everyone guessed, I am now flax. Flax has many uses. Not only can it be used as a textile fiber to make cloth and fabrics, its seeds can also be used to extract oil.

Not only can this be used in lubricants, soaps and as fuel, but it can also be used in building materials or as fertilizer.

Linen can also be converted into paper. Isn’t it very useful? "

Every time Su Yi mentioned the use of flax, everyone became more excited and curious.

Are you excited that there are so many useful plants in the world? I am curious to know what kind of plant is so useful!

[I felt itchy after hearing this. The anchor hurriedly went to find flax. I wanted to see what was so good about it. ]

[Can be made into paper, cloth, and even oil? How amazing is this plant? ]

[Anchor, what does Flax look like? Apart from these, are there any other uses? ]

[You upstairs, do you want to take a look at what you are saying? It’s all so useful, yet you’re still not satisfied! ! ! ]

[It’s not good to be too greedy. ]

……

Suddenly, all the viewers in the live broadcast room were full of curiosity about what Su Yi was talking about.

Su Yi watched the barrage for a while, then did not continue to say anything, but began to search in the woods.

She mainly looks for cool and humid places, so places with particularly bright sunlight are excluded first.

After walking for a while, Su Yi found a place, which was a relatively wide slope.

There are several big trees on the slope blocking the sunlight on the back, and there is the sound of trickling water on the side. The sound is not very loud, it should be similar to mountain spring water.

After Su Yi turned over, he saw several plants with purple-blue flowers.

After Su Yi saw the familiar colors of the flowers, she finally confirmed that she was looking in the right direction. Those plants with purple-blue flowers, what else could they be if they weren't flax?

The mobile live broadcaster also approached the flax very humanely and directly took a picture of the flax with purple-blue flowers.
