From a Slave to a Overlord, My Experience with the Beast World
Chapter 125 Paper Making
The two of them had a dreamless night and slept peacefully until dawn the next day. Li Mingsheng was very efficient. He said he wanted to make paper and he made paper right away. He was very active and went to the bamboo forest early in the morning.
They happened to meet Shu, Xiangmu and others. Among them was Jinhu. He was a relatively old cub and could contribute to the tribe, so he followed Grandpa Shu and the others to weave bamboo products.
Now the backpacks, baskets, bamboo mats and baskets they made were basically enough for the tribe to use. Because they were very fast, after more than half a month, plus the rest days, the beastmen who came back from hunting would also come to help.
"leader!"
"Chief, you are here."
As soon as Li Mingsheng arrived at the bamboo forest, he ran into Shu and his friends. They were cutting bamboos at the time. When they saw Li Mingsheng coming, they thought something was going on.
They all followed Li Mingsheng to greet him.
Li Mingsheng's purpose of coming this time was very simple. He planned to use bamboo to make paper.
"Well. I'm coming over here to take a look. You guys go ahead and do your things first!" After greeting them, Li Mingsheng went into the bamboo forest to pick bamboos.
"Chief, do you need any help? We have almost finished preparing the backpacks here, and the rest are not so urgent." Shu followed in and said to Li Mingsheng.
Everyone outside the bamboo forest looked in the direction of Li Mingsheng with anticipation.
"I do have something to do here. Since you have extra people, you can ask four people to come and help me." After hearing Shu's words, Li Mingsheng was too lazy to refuse. After all, now is the time when people are needed. The hunting team and the gathering team need to work hard to store more food in this month. These days, apart from him, Yanli and Wenqing who are responsible for cooking, there are only this group of old, weak and disabled people in the tribe. Now there are not many people staying in the tribe.
The only ones left were Yu Qing, Ying Kong and their guard team, and even half of the guard team sent out hunting with the hunting team.
Fortunately, the bows and arrows used before worked, and the number of exotic beasts hunted increased significantly. Even the gathering team could sometimes get a lot of rewards, plus a few exotic beasts, which were all the results of their own hunting.
After hearing Li Mingsheng's request, Shu immediately trotted out of the forest. The people outside gathered together, communicated, and finally decided that these four people would come to Li Mingsheng.
Li Mingsheng was already very familiar with two of them, one was Xiangmu, the other was Shu, and the other two were orcs. One of the orcs had a limp in his leg, and this orc was called Xi Liu. The other orc had an injured left eye and was blind. Although he could still see, his combat effectiveness was greatly weakened, and he could not go out hunting. This person was called Ye Bai. Both orcs looked very young, probably the same age as Li Mingsheng.
However, although Li Mingsheng felt sorry for their minor defects, he did not treat them with pity or concern for the weak, which made the two orcs and Li Mingsheng get along very comfortably.
"Okay, since we are all here, let's help cut bamboo together. I believe everyone is already familiar with this!" Li Mingsheng's slightly cheerful words made them all relax a lot. They smiled and replied, "Of course, Chief!"
After receiving the order, the four of them cut the bamboo together. After cutting, Li Mingsheng also asked them to scrape off the green color of the skin, and the others did as Li Mingsheng asked.
The speed of five people was indeed much faster than that of one person. After one morning, they had finished processing more than a dozen bundles of bamboo and had already scraped off the green skin with a bone knife.
"Okay." After Li Mingsheng saw that all the bamboos had been crushed by the big bear Xingxing, he felt relieved and called Shu and the others to help him pick up the bamboos, take them to the stream, and throw them in. Because bamboos float on water, he also took a few big stones to weigh them down.
"Okay, that's it for today. Leave the bamboo to soak in water for two days. You can continue weaving bamboo products tomorrow. Wait for me in front of the altar the day after tomorrow, and we will proceed to the next step together." After Li Mingsheng gave them the instructions, he let them go back.
"Is it done?" Yanli was checking yesterday's data in the cave. When he saw Li Mingsheng coming in, he quickly handed him a cup.
Li Mingsheng was also thirsty. After he finished drinking the water in his hand, he replied, "Well, it's over for now. I'll go make a few molds tomorrow, and then proceed to the next step the day after tomorrow."
Li Mingsheng explained everything in detail.
"Are you still calculating? Let me help you." Li Mingsheng took the bamboo slips from Yanli's hand and looked at them carefully. He had to admire that Yanli was indeed a genius. Every entry was recorded in an orderly manner. At a glance, the logic was clear and the accounts were simple and concise. He could understand what was going on at a glance.
"You've made it, ah............!" Li Mingsheng was so happy that he touched Yanli's hair again. The other person's hair was probably due to the frequent use of natural soapberries, so it was smooth and frosty and very comfortable to touch.
"Stop it, I'm not done yet." Yanli escaped from Li Mingsheng's clutches and was a little annoyed that Li Mingsheng had disturbed him.
Li Mingsheng could only shake his shoulders and take advantage of the time today to go to the kiln factory to take a look at the progress of Hebao and Tu. If they had any questions, he could answer them then.
But unexpectedly, they had no problems and even gave Li Mingsheng a very unexpected surprise.
"This is porcelain. You actually made porcelain. You are really geniuses. It's amazing, and there are quite a lot of them!" Li Mingsheng looked at the kiln and saw not only this one piece of porcelain, but many others. Basically half of them were porcelain.
"We changed the proportions and firing time of this kiln. We wanted to give it a try, but we didn't expect the effect to be quite good!"
Li Mingsheng was a little speechless. It was worthy of being the mighty Wanyuan Continent. They could already produce porcelain, which was more than good.
However, Li Mingsheng did not show his surprise. Instead, he cleared his throat and encouraged them, saying, "Keep this batch of porcelain and the ones that appear later. I will distribute these porcelains as rewards at the weekly morning assembly based on everyone's performance."
Li Mingsheng saw that there was no impact on the pottery kiln without him, and in fact the cooperation between Tu and Hebao was even better than that of Li Mingsheng, so he completely put his confidence in leaving the work to them.
In the next few days, Li Mingsheng was busy making paper. He cut the softened bamboo into pieces, then crushed them with two large stones, and then put them in a large stone pot to cook the paper. After cooking, he crushed them again, and repeated this process. Finally, he rinsed the paper with clean water, used a bamboo sieve to remove the impurities that floated up, and added lime water. The lime was picked up not far from the salt pit in the back mountain, where there were lime mines.
After the processing is completed, put the mold into the pulp, scoop the pulp out of the water, and then stick the pulp on the stone wall to remove the moisture, and finally get paper.
