Tang Jin returned to the mountain. General Tang saw that he was the only one back and frowned: "Why are you back? Where is Vice General Lin?"
Could this brat have lost the opportunity he finally fought for
"Dad, you made a mistake! What kind of special training! King Jin is punishing the person named Lin! What kind of special training is going to the secret guard special training camp! It's going to Princess Hui'an's house to fight with a group of half-grown maids and servants. , Run to the top of the mountain! I won’t go! It’s a waste of my time! They even said Princess Hui’an was giving them guidance! Tsk tsk… That’s crazy!”
General Tang: "...isn't it?"
General Tang had a vague feeling that Nalan Jinnian intended to focus on cultivating Lin Tingxuan.
Instead, his attitude towards his son was somewhat cold.
Fortunately, his son is upbeat and has strong martial arts skills, and his reputation in the army is very high, otherwise he might not be able to get the post of deputy general!
So he happened to be passing by and heard that King Jin asked Lin Tingxuan to go to special training, so he shyly asked for a place for his son.
Could it be that I had made a mistake
"Why did I lie to you? If you don't believe he will come back tonight, ask him. Anyway, I won't go again. I went to train!" After that, he walked away.
General Tang was doubtful and decided to wait for Lin Tingxuan to come back in the evening and ask Lin Tingxuan.
And when he asked about it later, the result was exactly what Tang Jin said.
General Tang came to the house in the mountains to confess to Nalan Jinnian.
"Master Qi, I'm really sorry. That brat said that training method wasn't suitable for him..."
General Tang could no longer speak under Nalan Jinnian's gaze.
Nalan Jinnian withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and said coldly: "Okay, disobey the military order and get fifty military sticks!"
General Tang: "..."
~
The news that Tang Jin would rather be beaten by Lin Feng with fifty military sticks than go to special training spread among the army.
Everyone looked at Lin Tingxuan with sympathy. Was he sent to train with children
How did he offend King Jin
Lin Tingxuan ignored everyone's strange looks.
Go down the mountain to Nuan Nuan's house every day and study hard.
Although Nuan Nuan has been busy these past two days, he didn't show up at all.
For him, a girl who became a princess on her own merits and had her parents and grandmothers granted titles must have something worth learning from.
At least he can't do it, right
Warmth is indeed busy!
She was busy making porcelain and watching the paper-making and ceramic workshops.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, people's appetite will also become worse, although this problem does not exist for health dishes.
But Nuan Nuan still took time to go to the county to teach Li Mei some appetizing new dishes, so that the restaurant's business flourished.
There are attracted guests from Fucheng and even other towns.
The shops on that street were completely prosperous. Many people saw the business opportunity and wanted to buy the shops on that street, but found that they had all been bought by others.
Everyone thought: I don’t know who has such foresight.
The Nuan family only uses two shops for the time being. Two of them are being renovated, and one is given to Wen Jiaxiang to make handicrafts for sale. The rest have been rented out!
The monthly rent is more than 1,000 taels, and the money can be doubled in a few months.
Pan Shichang lamented more than once that Wen Jiarui had given birth to a good daughter. I am determined to take good care of the restaurant.
The papermaking workshop on the outskirts of town is about to be completed.
In the evening, Wen Jiarui went to the workshop to supervise the work and came back and said to Nuan Nuan: "Sister Nuan, the papermaking workshop will be completed in the next two days. Do you want to go and see if there is anything left to be built tomorrow?"
Nuan Nuan: "Okay! I'll go take a look tomorrow morning."
Nalan Jinnian would still come to Wen Nuan's house for dinner whenever he was free. He raised his eyebrows after hearing this: Papermaking workshop
"I'll go take a look with you tomorrow."
"Okay!" Nuan Nuan agreed.
"Dad, you and Uncle Youfu, Uncle Youcai, and Uncle Guangrong... have they agreed to invite them to work in the papermaking workshop?"
The papermaking workshop Nuan Nuan plans to ask villagers who have made friends with them before to do the work.
This is considered manual work, especially when making paper pulp. There are no machines at this time and it all depends on manual work. This has to be done by men.
"It's been agreed. They haven't found a job yet. They are building a house at home and waiting for the workshop to open."
The Blessed and Wealthy family received fifty taels as a reward from the emperor, and they all wanted to renovate their dilapidated houses. Their houses were all adobe houses that they had lived in for decades.
This operation made other villagers envious.
Wu: "Tomorrow I will go to the Great Buddha Temple to find an auspicious day to open the business."
"good!"
The next day, Nuan Nuan and Wen Jiarui went to the papermaking workshop.
Nalan Jinnian accompanied him.
The papermaking workshop was built at the foot of the mountain.
There is a small waterfall here, with mountain spring water flowing down from the mountain, so water is convenient.
The papermaking workshop includes lime tank, cooking tank, beating workshop, beating tank, swing tank, fire wall, raw material warehouse, finished product warehouse, etc.
It is very large, with two lime slurry tanks and ten cooking tanks.
The beating workshop can accommodate thirty people working at the same time. Because there is no machine, one person can only pound out about ten kilograms of paper if he works for six hours a day.
There are also many beating troughs, swing troughs and fire walls, which can accommodate nearly fifty or sixty people working at the same time.
This is a relatively large workshop!
There are also workers’ dormitories, kitchens, canteens and other living areas.
The process is very tedious and time-consuming.
The reason why Wen Nuan built his papermaking workshop here is because there are many mulberry trees and bamboos on the mountains in this area, which are good materials for papermaking.
Then it’s close to the river, so it’s more convenient to soak and rinse the bark!
The entire papermaking process is inseparable from water!
The raw materials alone need to be soaked for more than ten days to a month, and then steamed for another six or seven days!
"Dad, please ask people from the village to help peel off the bark of the Pu tree and chop the bamboo tomorrow! The bark of the Pu tree needs to be soaked in the river for more than ten days, and the bamboo has been soaked for nearly a month!"
One advantage of the mulberry tree is that it will grow back the next year after being cut down, and the new bark will be better!
Every spring and summer is the time when the bark of the Pu tree grows most suitable for making paper.
Someone needs to collect some and keep them for later use.
However, there are many materials for making paper, and the methods are similar.
The key is the additive formula added to the pulp that makes the pulp stick together and separate easily.
"Okay. It happens to be a slack time for farming, and everyone in the village is free."
Nalan Jinnian did not ask Nuan Nuan how he knew about papermaking. This papermaking technology has always been firmly in the hands of the two famous families of the Tang and Song Dynasties, so the paper in Nalan Kingdom is very expensive!
Most people can’t afford to read!
"Girl, build more paper-making workshops! Tell me what kind of terrain you need."
Education rejuvenates the country!
Wen Nuan: "Okay, anywhere near water or with lots of trees and bamboos will do!"
After looking at the workshop and then the ceramics workshop across the river, the three of them headed back home.
The summer rain came a bit quickly, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. Soon the wind was raging, the dark clouds swept in, and the big raindrops fell first, followed by a heavy downpour!
The three had to find a place to shelter from the rain before returning home.
