After traveling through time, she went to practice her way of making money

Su Shian quickly apologized with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Seventh, and Aunt Seventh." After that, she carefully observed Deng Qiyue's expression, trying to impress him with the most sincere attitude.

Deng Qiyue took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed them to Su Shian, and said simply and clearly: "Take it and read it yourself." Su Shian took the stack of papers with doubts in her heart. After she slowly opened it, she was surprised to find that there were several indentures of women inside! These women were bought by Wang Yaren from the Yahang on purpose today, and each woman was worth five taels of silver.

Su Shian carefully observed these women. Two of them looked particularly strong and were very skillful at work. They must be the pillars of the family. However, she couldn't help wondering why they had to sell their bodies. Perhaps, at some point, human life was really as insignificant as grass.

Su Shian didn't have time to sigh too much. She knew that time was running out and she had to work harder. When she successfully made the ancient version of sanitary napkins, she would definitely be able to earn a considerable fortune. At this moment, she secretly made up her mind to go all out to achieve this goal.

In the following days, Su Shian and Wu Jin arranged various tasks for the maids every day, while the others were busy with their own affairs. Time passed quickly, and more than a month passed, and they finally ushered in the important step of fishing for paper.

First, workers carefully lower the frame with the paper curtain into a huge wooden trough filled with water. Then they carefully and gently place the right amount of pulp on top of the curtain, then gently stir and pat it to ensure that the fibers in the pulp are evenly distributed, while also carefully checking to see if there are any impurities mixed in. Once these operations are completed, the curtain can be carefully removed from the wooden trough.

The scooped paper is laid flat on a flat board or wooden block and then pressed down tightly with a heavy object to squeeze out excess moisture.

Next, the pressed papers will be laid out flat inside the cleaned wall, because there is no special drying area. The papers will be exposed to the hot sun until they are completely dry and can be taken down and put into the warehouse. During this process, Su Shian will personally supervise to ensure that every piece of paper can get enough sunlight.

After careful calculation, Su Shian found that the papermaking process alone took nearly three months! It is now the end of October, and we are about to enter the winter and twelfth lunar month, which means that the New Year is getting closer. The papermaking process is complex and delicate, and the steaming, pulping, papermaking, and paper drying are all crucial and time-consuming.

Su Shian announced with a smile: "All the bark that was soaked earlier has been made into paper! Starting tomorrow, we will stop making paper and focus on sewing!"

Hearing this, the old women who were good at doing physical work couldn't help but look embarrassed, while those women with slender and weak figures were secretly delighted, thinking that it was finally their turn to show their skills and hold their heads high.

Su Shian knew that everyone had their own strengths, so she specially invited Deng Xian, who had finished her work in the shop, to explain the next arrangements to everyone. In the morning, Su Shian asked everyone to pack up and put things away. One room was used to make Shuxinbao, and the other two rooms were used as a warehouse for Shuxinbao and a warehouse for paper. There were multi-layer wooden racks in the warehouse, and paper and Shuxinbao were placed on them and covered with coarse cloth. Su Shian thought: Without disinfection tools and equipment, she could only do what she could. Then, she asked people to put realgar and wormwood on the floor of the room. In order to prevent insects and snakes, they also had to put rats and fireproof.

After Deng Xian came back in the afternoon, they could finally start working. Su Shining and Hongdou were also listening quietly. They also wanted to join the team to make Shuxinbao. Surprisingly, Gao Shuyue, who usually didn't like to join in the fun, was also attracted and was obviously very interested in this matter.

First, they all went to the bamboo pipe outside the pool to wash their hands, and then changed into the clean shoes specially provided at the door before they could enter the house.

Deng Xian looked around, staring at everyone with a firm gaze, and said, "Everyone, please listen to me. This is only the first batch of tasks. If the sales are good, I will tailor suitable jobs for you based on your respective strengths and advantages. For example, people with plenty of physical strength like Aunt Ren and Aunt Lian can be arranged to engage in papermaking work; and Aunt Bai and Aunt He are meticulous in their work, which makes them very suitable for the paper-making process... As for the other sisters, I haven't made any particularly obvious discoveries yet, but please rest assured, as long as everyone works hard to show their talents, you will definitely find the position that suits you best." These words were actually told to her by Su Shian. Speaking by Su Shian herself, the hostess, they were undoubtedly more authoritative and convincing.

Then she said, "It's too early to say these things now. Whether there will be a future depends on what you do." After that, she began to show everyone the drawings drawn by Su Shian. Because she was worried that Su Shirong's drawings were not accurate enough, this sanitary napkin was completely drawn by Su Shian based on the menstrual belt used by his mother Deng Xian and the sanitary napkin style in his own memory.

Although her painting skills were not very good, resulting in a slightly abstract drawing, a woman still saw the clue: "Madam, is this a menstrual belt?"

"Mrs. Bai is absolutely right! This is undoubtedly a menstrual belt, but we named it 'Shu Xin Bao'. After all, if we just call it a menstrual belt, it will inevitably make people feel embarrassed and ashamed." This name was finalized after Su Shian and others quickly discussed it. Deng Xian continued: "I understand that everyone may feel embarrassed, but we are all women, who doesn't want to be more comfortable on those special days?"

"Madam, you are right."

"That's right, that's right..."

"Actually, I'm just too embarrassed to speak up. My family used to..."

"Well, no matter how good the past was, it's useless now..."

"Then let's get started!" Deng Xian was good at sewing, and she led everyone to do it, and everyone learned very seriously. Deng Xian was actually a little nervous, because she had never made a menstrual belt with paper, but fortunately she often made cloth. Occasionally, they would make some suggestions, and Deng Xian would adopt them if she thought they were useful, so that things could go more smoothly.
