Traversing the Age of Creation in the Orc World

Can be made into ropes, which are also thread-like fibers, threads?Maybe it can be made with that soft silk, ha ha. "

Chi listened and wrote it down silently. "If it's wood, then we have these. I don't know what it is, but what He said can be made with soft silk, but the soft silk is so small that it would be a waste of resources. Also, the mucus that He said , When we cut the soft vine, there is a lot of mucus in the soft silk, so I don’t know if the vine bark can be used.”

Yes, if it works, wouldn't it save a lot?You know, after the soft vines are cut, they only take the soft silk, and throw away the mucus and rattan bark.Xiahe suddenly became interested. He hadn't thought about making these things carefully before, but now he suddenly found that it was not as difficult as he imagined.

After further discussion, he asked Chi to make two more boards of the same size. "Pfft, Chi, why do I feel like you have switched from blacksmithing to carpentry?"

"Well, as long as He needs it, I can switch to any job." Chiqin rubbed his neck fondly, saying fondly.

70. Papyrus...

"Hey, He, call me over to see if I can help." Ye came to Xia He's side and said.

"Of course, it would be the best if you come, hehe. Come, help me chop up this pile of things." Xia He said, pointing to a pile of sundries under the board. "Chop them while stirring, chop as many pieces as you can. Papermaking is a big business, your task is indispensable. After you succeed, you will be a great contributor to the papermakers in the orc world! You may also be famous for a long time. The orcs in future generations will admire you."

Ye heard it happily, "Okay, for this, I am willing to touch any dirty thing!"

Because it is the first time to do it, it can be regarded as an experiment.Strip one end of the block, chop it, and set aside.Then chop up the soft rattan bark and the mucus in it collected in the courtyard.After that, it is almost the same, and then chop them together and twist them into mud.

You don't need any skills to do this, just strength, and you will know when Ye finally chops until he is panting again and again.

"It's alright, Ye, take a rest first, and I'll do the rest." Poured Ye a cup of tea, and let him rest.

Take the pot to the shed of Chidaitie, put it on the stove, add water until the pieces in the pot are about three inches high, stir again, cover the pot and let it stand for two days.So he couldn't figure out why it had to be left for two days. He always felt that it would be much easier to soak the various miscellaneous pieces crushed in the pot so that they would disperse immediately, and then boil them later.Because he didn't know whether boiling the pulp would produce harmful toxins, Xiahe moved it outside to cook just to be on the safe side.

When the adults were full of expectations, but He Que was extremely entangled, two days passed.Xia He went to the backyard to lift the lid of the pot, and a strange smell came out, but luckily it was just a faint smell of rancidity.Under the watchful eyes of all the people and discussions, they started to light a high fire under the stove.After about two hours, the debris in the pot began to tumbling, and the lid was lifted again, full of steaming steam.Fortunately, Xiahe had the foresight to wear a mask. Pregnant people cannot smell harmful gases casually.

Stir it lightly with a wooden stick several times, the debris inside is not completely saturated and melted together.The rest is to boil slowly. You can’t be impatient to boil this, you must be patient, because you don’t know how many times it will take longer than burning the broken things.Xia He told the onlookers to go back first, it was morning time, and then try to make a paste in the afternoon, and told them to come back in the afternoon.

"He, let me watch the fire, you go and avoid it. Didn't you say before that there might be poisonous gas in the paper pulp? Go, it's not good to affect the cubs in the stomach." Ye asked Xia He to go back to the house, standing upright No matter how you look at it, it is not suitable to stand by the stove with a big belly, and besides, a pregnant woman should not be able to do anything.

"Well, thanks for your hard work, Ye. I'm not sure if there is a poisonous smell when cooking these things, but what I can be sure of is that the pulp must not be used for food. When you stir it, be gentle, and don't float the pulp into your eyes. Li..." Because they were worried, and it was their first time making pulp, Xia He told Ye all the things he knew he should pay attention to.Although no modern chemical materials were used in the pulp in the pot, the rattan bark must be poisonous, and Ye was asked to wear a mask the whole time as a precaution.

When I came to Chi's carpentry place, there were four rectangular wooden frames beside them, and one side of the wooden frame was inlaid with flat wooden blocks, like a pallet.

Seeing Xia He, Chi asked him to sit down, saying that he would finish with two more.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. By the way, the stone bed in the empty room is already on fire, right?" Xia He asked.

"Well, it started to light up in the morning. With such a big fire burning until the afternoon, it will definitely be very hot. But I still don't know what the river will do next. These wooden frames are needed to make paper, and there are beds of hot stones ?"

It's no wonder that Chi didn't understand, Xiahe also acted half-baked and half-according to reality.Didn’t the sheets of paper in the past just use a flat thing as a pad? The pulp was originally warm, and it was dried with fire or air-dried. Try and never know what the outcome will be.

"I plan to put the pulp in a wooden frame and then dry it on a stone bed. If it fails, I will give up." Xia He said.

!!!

In the afternoon, Shen Shi.The backyard of Xiahe's house was bustling with activity. The children came to watch out of curiosity, while the adults wanted to learn the process.

Carefully lift the iron pot down with a wooden stick, and then lift the lid with a wooden stick one meter away from the iron pot. Hot steam will emerge immediately, followed by the smell of pulp, which belongs to the The damp and heavy air of wood and grass is not very unpleasant.

Half of the pulp in the pot was boiled and turned into mud. It used to be more than half of the pot, but now it is very thick.Add a little water and stir again to make it into a diluted pulp.Then use a wooden spoon to pour half a scoop on the wooden frame. The only thing to pay attention to is that it must be spread very thinly and evenly, and pour six wooden frames evenly in a row.Then put it on the stone bed, use a long wooden plank, inlaid with cotton under the wooden plank, then wrap it with cloth, compact the pulp under the wooden plank, and then start drying.

When pouring paper pulp, if you see relatively large coarse particles, you will pick them out, and ignore them like fine sand.The pulp is very hot and looks dirty, and there will be leaks when it is poured on the wooden frame. If you accidentally pour it on yourself, the consequences will be disastrous.So Chi didn't let Xiahe do it, and what he did now was to do everything by himself.

"Can this be baked into paper? It's amazing."

"I don't know, let's read on, everything He does must be done with certainty."

"Ah~ I heard that this paper can also be used for drawing. You must not know what drawing is. Hehe, drawing is to draw yourself on paper~"

"Really?!"...

Xia He listened to the talk of the orcs without saying a word, and did not try to explain.Close to the hot bed, the pulp has been drying for a few minutes, and it is obvious to smell the smell of wood chips baked into paper.After half a meeting, the wooden boards were removed, and the wooden frame was moved down the stone bed with patience.There are six papers in total, two of which cannot be folded because they are too thick.As for the rest, Xia He thoughtfully held up the paper in his hand, it was thick and thick, not smooth, and could be folded or bent.But, who can tell him, isn't the paper white and soft?Why is it... straw paper in my hand.Well, it's not that he has never used rough toilet paper. When he was young, he used toilet paper to wipe his butt!

"He, this paper is made one by one. It seems that it has been successfully made, but it doesn't seem to be as white as the paper you brought, and it is not as thin. Is this... considered a success?" Chi also hesitated. ask.The orcs next to them were full of expectations, after all, paper was given extremely high expectations by everyone.

In order not to disappoint the clansmen, Xia He straightened his face and said to them with his usual smile, "Well, the paper is made successfully."

"He~" Chi Xian was the first to react, hugging Xia He joyfully, and kissing his face from time to time.

After the people of the tribe cheered, Xia He continued, "You have all seen the paper, it must be watered thinly and evenly. Also, because most of it is made of trees, I don't want everyone to deal with the trees from now on. Deforestation, if there is such a phenomenon ... I will drive that person out of the tribe, whoever it is."

"We understand, as Meng also said before, if we wantonly destroy these trees, we will be the ones who will be destroyed in the end, so please rest assured, we know how to recycle them." The new speaker .Most of the observers are females, because the males also come out to hunt or do other things at this time.

Xia He nodded in satisfaction, and finally encouraged them to try using other plants at home to see if they could be boiled into pulp. In particular, they must not eat them in the scorpion.It can be said that Xia He was always restless, and felt that they should not leave the work of making paper to themselves.

"Wait a minute, uh, I'm still very worried about your making paper, so don't make it yourself when you go back. I'll discuss with Menghun after he comes back to see how to unify this matter. Tomorrow. , come back tomorrow.” It is one of Xiahe’s principles to not do things that make him feel uneasy.

Although they thought it was unclear, the clansmen still followed suit.

71. Teaching...

It was already after dinner when Meng came here, and I found out after asking, that Meng did this on purpose, saying that Xiahe’s family is already a large family, so it’s better to come here as little as possible
