Chapter 3 3. Night talk between father and daughter (newcomer and new book, please give me all kinds of gossip~)

During dinner, Huang Yueying did not take the initiative to speak. When she was tearing the paper, she heard her old father's voice. If she let her old father know... she didn't dare to think about it.

It was just a family of three, and they did not eat at separate tables. On the table were grilled mutton, boiled mallow and bean sprouts, and rice! If the old father could have such a meal after he came back, she would not mind it.

.

Mutton! It was the third time she came across time to eat it! The first two times were after she recovered from the cold, Cai had people bring some mutton back to stew soup. After that, she took Huang Cong and tinkered with it in the river every day.

Fish, shrimp, pheasants and rabbits in the mountains.

Mrs. Cai also understands her daughter's change. She had been lying in bed for more than half a month due to the cold. After the cold recovered, she was depressed again for more than half a month. Now she is more lively and active, which is normal. Children, how can they not like it?

For play.

Not long after, Huang Chengyan put down the bowl and chopsticks. He was full. Seeing that Huang Yueying was still eating sweetly, his eyes were full of love, "By the way, Ah Chu, if this bamboo paper is sold, what do you think?"

Huang Yueying swallowed the mutton in her mouth and looked at Huang Chengyan with a puzzled look, "My father is the one who makes the decision."

She can make paper, but she can't even think about who she can do business with after she makes it. That would be too evil! Therefore, even if she had already made a plan in her mind, she couldn't say it at this time, because she was afraid of being dragged into asking for help.

God works.

"What?" Ms. Cai said and looked at her husband.

"I thought, this is an excellent business. You also know the price of Caihou paper, but the bamboo paper made by A Chu is several times better than Caihou paper." Huang Chengyan stroked his mustache with satisfaction, "It's just

However, our Mianyang Huang family is far away from the Xiangyang branch. In addition, our branch is based on farming, studying and passing down family traditions, and is not proficient in business. Therefore, if you want to do this business, you must invite someone to join you.

.”

"Who does the gentleman think is good?"

"Jingsheng, brother Mao, brother Zirou, and brother Shang! From top to bottom, there should be no obstruction." Huang Chengyan thought for a while and said, "However, for this job, Jingsheng will be 20%, brother Mao, son

Rou, each of you, the eldest brother, will become a good person."

"Well, based on this calculation, don't we account for 50%? Jing Sheng is now the lord of Jingzhou...we account for more than him?" Cai was a little worried.

"Don't worry, 30% of it will be with A Chu. Even uncle Jing Sheng can't compete with the child for profit. Besides, it's precisely because he is the lord of Jingzhou and rich in Jingzhou that he doesn't mind the profit of this wealth." Huang Chengyan smiled.

Laughing, "The other 10% belongs to the Huang family in Mianyang. Since my father is based in Mianyang, I should also do my best for the family. In this way, only 10% is left. I have to let the Xiangyang branch, the Chen family and other

The aristocratic family should also get a little bit of it, otherwise I'm afraid everyone will come to disturb me."

Mrs. Cai just nodded, looked at Huang Yueying, and smiled warmly, "Ah Chu will have money in his hands in the future. He can't imitate your father and spend money like water. Do you understand?"

"Well, I don't care, my father just spends money randomly! If you don't live in the family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!"

Cai's eyes lit up, and then she nodded, "Achu is right."

Huang Chengyan:……

"You two..."

As a result, Huang Yueying and Cai both laughed, and Huang Chengyan naturally laughed too. This family has not been so lively for a long time.

As for the Bamboo Paper members just mentioned, Huang Yueying also understood that her share was the largest, and her uncle, who was the Lord of Jingzhou, had 10% less members than her. Mao's younger brother was Cai Mao, and Zirou was Kuai.

The word Liang, Shangchang, refers to Pang Degong, which means that the Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Pang family each have 10%.

In this way, 10% of the remaining two percent will be given to the Huang family in Mianyang, and the other 10% will be given to the Huang family in Xiangyang and other Xiangyang families.

After all, people will always be close and distant.

"Ah Chu, you are not young anymore. She is a big girl. You will hold the 30% share yourself, and it will be the dowry from now on!" Huang Chengyan sighed, yes, he is twelve years old, but he can see the marriage.

Now, when I think about my caring little cotton-padded jacket getting married in the future, I can't help but feel a little sad.

Mrs. Cai also nodded. Thirty percent of the dowry was given to her daughter, which was what her daughter deserved. Of course she had no objection.

"Father..." Huang Yueying was helpless. Yes, ancient people got married really early. When they were only twelve years old, they had to look at the partner. But in later generations, parents are guarded against premature love every day, and they rush to get married right after graduating from college...

In short, it is a mystery.

However, the 30% share was given as promised. Huang Chengyan said it easily, and Cai had no objection. Instead, he looked like it was the way it should be. This couple was probably the only one in this era.

"Haha, okay." Huang Chengyan smiled, and then looked at Huang Yueying, "Others will not have much objection to the division, but once the elements are divided and the paper is spread everywhere... today's papermaking

I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up with the speed.”

Huang Yueying nodded, "So what should father do?"

"The best good is like water. Water benefits all things without competing for it. It is disliked by everyone, so it is almost the same as the Tao. There is a lot of water in Jingzhou, and a water channel may accomplish something." Huang Chengyan stroked his beard and looked at his little daughter.

"What my father is talking about is water power? Like the overturning car (waterwheel) that my father painted before?" As a descendant, Huang Yueying can understand it very well, but as soon as these words came out, she was slightly stunned. She didn't have this in the past.

Memory...Today, I came up with these thoughts without thinking. It seemed that the original owner was really relieved.

Huang Chengyan's eyes lit up. His daughter has been smart, smart and quirky since she was a child. She can give him hints about many things and coincide with him. "Achu is really smart. As a father, he has this ability."

I think it is winter now, and it will be the beginning of the new year soon, and the weather is cold. If we can use water power to replace part of the manpower, you, Uncle Song, and the others will be able to make things much easier, and the papermaking speed will naturally be much faster."

"So, you two, father and daughter, discuss it slowly. I will clean up first and light more oil lamps when I go to the study to avoid hurting my eyes." Mrs. Cai shook her head helplessly. She has seen this scene many times. Her daughter's ideas are wild and unconstrained.

Sometimes a random question can keep Huang Chengyan busy for a long time.

Huang Yueying smiled and put the last piece of mutton into her mouth, then stood up and followed her old father.

Today, the old father's allocation of bamboo paper shares is extremely high, including the Lord of Jingzhou, his relatives and friends, and... coincidentally, these people are already the actual people in power.

There are only a few words about the old father in the history books.

Only now did she realize that those who can leave their names are really not stupid.

The old father is really free and easy and doesn't care about money. As for Cai, she can only try her best to run the family for the sake of her old father. She doesn't want Huang Chengyan to change. She is really the representative of Qin Se and He Ming.

Although she had just made fun of her old father, it was obvious that no one took it to heart, not even herself.

The old father is a big spender, so she can make money.

"Ah Chu, how about you first explain the whole process of papermaking to my father, and then we can think about where water can be used instead?" After entering the study, Huang Chengyan had already happily laid a new piece of bamboo paper on the desk, but

Soon he saw the remaining torn paper on the shelf next to him, and asked puzzledly, "So, Ah Chu, what did you do to tear the paper?"

Huang Yueying coughed lightly and said, "I lost it."

Huang Chengyan:……

"Okay, as long as Ah Chu is happy." Huang Chengyan couldn't help but took a step back. He was so confident... she was indeed his daughter!

Huang Yueying walked to the desk and looked at the paper carefully. It was still somewhat different from what she saw later, but the craftsmanship could be improved a little, and it would not affect the use. It was better than Caihou paper.

I don’t know how many times it has healed.

So I picked up a pen and wrote down the various processes of bamboo paper.

"The process of making bamboo paper is actually not difficult, but there is something special about choosing the materials. It is best to use new bamboo shoots that have just grown one year ago."

"Why?"

"Bamboo that is too old is more difficult to make."

Huang Chengyan nodded, "Indeed, if that's the case... maybe we don't have enough bamboo in Jingzhou?"

"Yes, the bamboos in Jingzhou are not as good as those in Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou is located in the south and is hot and humid all year round, so bamboo can grow all year round. However, the best ones to distinguish are the ones before and after Xiaoman."

"I'll go and ask later if anyone has experience in Jiaozhou." Huang Chengyan nodded and then motioned for his daughter to continue.

"After cutting the bamboo, transport it back, chop it into suitable bamboo sections, and peel off the green bark of the bamboo to make it white."

"Otherwise, the paper produced will be colored?" Huang Chengyan asked again, "Cyan?"

"Ah, maybe so. I just think that if you want the bamboo paper to be whiter, it would be more convenient to remove all other colors from the raw materials."

"Too."

"Then, beat the white blank into pieces. This step may be replaced by water power." When Huang Yueying said this, she paused and then looked at Huang Chengyan, "What do you plan to build?"

"There's no rush, Ah Chu, please continue."

"Tie up the broken pieces and soak them in water. This process takes four to five days."

"Um."

"Then the white blanks are cut into pieces of bamboo that are more than one foot long. After cleaning, they are put into a pool of prepared lime liquid."

"Lime liquid?"

"After soaking for about three days, put the bamboo material into a wok, fill it with water, and cook it day and night for five days. Then immediately put the bamboo material into a clear water pond and wash it. After washing, the bamboo material needs to be soaked in a clear water pond.

For ten to fifteen days, it is necessary to continue cleaning and pick out the rotten bamboo materials. After this, the clean bamboo materials, that is, the white materials, can be tied into bundles and beaten into fine powder."

Huang Chengyan suddenly realized that after all, bamboo is grown from bamboo shoots. After this, the bamboo may become garbage.

"You still need to manually pick out the thicker white ingredients, or those that cannot be broken, and then put the remaining white ingredients into clean water and stir them repeatedly with a wooden rake. If there are thick tendons, you still need to remove them until the white ingredients dissolve.

In the clear water, it becomes paper pulp. Finally, the bamboo curtain is copied and made into wet paper. After drying, it becomes the bamboo paper that my father saw. However, the final process of copying the title was done by Uncle Song and Uncle Li.

It seems that the effort is not enough, the bamboo paper is still a bit rough."
