After traveling through time, she went to practice her way of making money
Chapter 98 Start making paper
Su Shian smiled and replied, "Of course no problem, but you may need to pay some fees."
"Shu Xiu? What is that?" Chen Dabao asked with a puzzled look on his face. Chen Dabao had never been to school, but he had learned a few words from his relatives and had no problem reading a blueprint or something.
"Suxiu means the tuition fee for the teacher." Su Shian explained patiently.
When Chen Dabao heard that it was okay, he immediately asked excitedly, "That's no problem. How much does it cost? I'll go back and tell my dad."
"I have to ask my husband first about the exact amount of the tuition. I'll let you know after she tells me. But my husband is out for something today, so you may have to wait for a while..." Su Shian spread his hands helplessly, expressing some apology.
Chen Dabao quickly waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's a few days late." He said it in a relaxed tone, as if he didn't care about this matter.
"Well, that's good." Su Shian nodded, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He was originally worried that there would be some trouble due to time issues, and after hearing what Chen Dabao said, he felt much more relieved.
After asking the question, Chen Dabao immediately went back to his busy work. He already had the right person in mind, and he would go find them for help after a while. He looked at the big vats in the corner, but didn't ask any more questions. After all, everyone has their own way and reasons for doing things, and there is no need to tell others all the details.
At the same time, Gao Shuyue, introduced by Qin Caichun, met Doctor Liang. Doctor Liang simply felt her pulse and then let her go. Gao Shuyue herself was not in a hurry, but Deng Qiyue, who followed her, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"Just tell me what happened to her. There's nothing you can't say!" Deng Qi Yue asked Doctor Liang loudly and emotionally.
Qin Caichun quickly came out to smooth things over and comforted him, "Master Deng, please don't worry. My master needs time to study the condition before he can make an accurate diagnosis."
"Research what the hell! The last time you took her pulse was half a month ago! Didn't you tell him when you came back? How long will he take to research?" Deng Qiyue didn't listen at all and continued to get angry at Doctor Liang.
"This..." Qin Caichun didn't know how to answer for a moment and could only look at Deng Qiyue helplessly.
Gao Shuyue thought he was too noisy and said, "Okay, go home."
Deng Qiyue himself didn't understand why he followed Gao Shuyue so obediently, and muttered in his heart: "Why don't you ask clearly? I think they are clearly teasing you..."
However, Gao Shuyue didn't care and said coldly, "You are too noisy." Then he got into the carriage swiftly, completely ignoring Deng Qiyue who was standing outside the carriage with a confused and irritated look on his face.
In other words, Doctor Liang was a bit slow in his work. More than ten days had passed, but he still hadn't given Gao Shuyue any reply. Meanwhile, Su Shian was making good progress. The straw hut and warehouse she had carefully built were finally completed. Now, she could finally start to steam the bark that had been soaked. She first carefully put the soaked bark into a huge iron pot, then poured in clean water, lit the firewood and started steaming. After the water in the pot boiled, she added some clean stove ash. These stove ashes are alkaline and can effectively remove impurities such as lignin and pigments in the raw materials, thereby obtaining purer cellulose.
Then, the cooked bark was carefully fished out and repeatedly rinsed in clean water to ensure that the impurities were removed. Then, it was placed in a sieve to drain the water slowly. After cooling, it was moved to the river for the final rinse. In this process, it was necessary to do everything possible to remove the remaining stove ash and any other impurities, and then the bark was kneaded into a compact ball. This was definitely a very physically demanding labor. After running back and forth only twice, Su Shian felt as if he was on the verge of disability.
Su Shian couldn't help but shout, "Wu Jin, I'm really tired! I have to quickly find some people to help me."
"Actually, it's okay. I don't feel tired. You take a rest first and leave the rest to me." Wu Jin was born with supernatural strength. Now that she was well fed and had enough to drink, she only had to do some simple work like moving, lifting, and cleaning. For her, it was a real pleasure.
However, Su Shian shouted, "No matter how capable you are, you can't complete all the tasks by yourself! Besides, we have just started, and there are still several vats of bark waiting to be processed!" After that, she gritted her teeth, used the last bit of her strength, and ran to the shop to summon Deng Xian and others to help with the work. After everyone worked together, they finally successfully prepared all the steamed pulp before nightfall.
This process is extremely difficult and painful. The cleaned bark needs to be placed on a flat and hard stone slab or wooden block, and then hit repeatedly with a heavy wooden mallet until the originally tough fibers become soft and mushy and can be completely dissolved in water. Each piece of bark needs to take about half an hour to hit, and the hard parts and various impurities must be removed in time during this process.
In the next two days, everyone was busy helping Su Shian complete this task, causing Deng Xian to complain: "An An, your matter is so complicated and difficult, why don't you arrange for someone to handle it as soon as possible?"
"I really didn't expect this to be so difficult!" Su Shian also knew that she was in the wrong. Although she knew the steps of papermaking, she had never practiced it herself. Now that she has experienced it herself, she understands that what she thought was a piece of cake is actually so difficult.
"That's right. If Shuyue hadn't told me that you guys weren't teaching or running a shop, but were beating these things here, I'm afraid I would still be in the dark!" Deng Qiyue brought seven or eight maids with him, and then instructed them, "Just follow their way."
When Su Shian saw Deng Qiyue, he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart, as if he had seen a savior who saved him from dire straits. He was so moved that he almost shed tears: "Seventh Uncle, this is..."
Deng Qiyue reached out his hand and gently pressed Su Shian's forehead, and said in a slightly arrogant tone: "Don't call me, little guy, you really don't know how to make plans. You are so tired but still don't know what happened."
