Chapter 116 The Workshop Is Busy and There Is No Leisure Time

The north wind is strong and the water ice flows downhill. A pair of cotton sets can withstand the cold, and the warmth of a fire can relieve thousands of worries. Tie the rope to hang the basket and shake the briquettes. I want to stop talking, but I have no other plans.

The north wind is howling today, seemingly without end.

People in Zhuangzi wear scarves around their necks and masks on their mouths, leaving only one pair of eyes outside.

The breath you exhale rises upwards and condenses on your eyelashes and eyebrows.

The children put on one piece of clothing after another, and they no longer looked like students dressed up like before.

But the child in front of me is even cuter, wearing many clothes and looking like a ball.

Open your little hands and walk like a penguin. If you accidentally fall, you will have to turn over for a while before you can get up again.

Because of the thick clothing, the child will not be injured if he falls.

The adults would laugh when they saw it, and some would smile and turn their heads to wipe away tears.

Especially for those who just entered Zhuangzi this spring, how could their children be dressed like this on normal days? Every piece of clothing is money.

In order to make cotton coats and cotton gloves for his children, the proprietor was reluctant to even part with a quilt.

It was only at the strong request of myself and others that I made ten quilts and mattresses.

One is for the proprietor, and the other is for those noble people who come to have a bed.

The children in Zhuangzi are like this. The children who come to look for a way to survive do not have cotton-padded clothes to wear, but they will wear a few more silk clothes.

Moreover, when the children stopped working, the students from Zhuangzi came to teach them.

After practicing with wooden sticks for some days, I now also have pen, ink and paper.

The working place is like a village. Every sixteen households put a large clay pot on the stove, but there is no iron.

New meat bones will be put into the pot early in the morning and cooked, and some dried vegetables will be added.

When I feel thirsty while working, I come over to drink a bowl of soup. There is oil and water on my bones, which quenches my greed and thirst.

Instead of beating coal briquettes, shake the coal briquettes. Set up a shelf, hang a shallow bamboo basket, dip it in water and coal slime and shake it, and the slime will turn into briquettes.

Briquettes are also good, but not as good as briquettes, because half of the briquettes can be placed on the fire to suppress the fire.

In this way, the fire becomes smaller and the temperature can be maintained for a long time.

If the isobaric coal is slowly burning, use a furnace hook to penetrate it, and the flame will start again.

The Bashui River was already frozen, and the ice was not thick. I took the boat over to break the ice and told the waterwheel to continue turning.

The water from the waterwheel flows into the papermaking workshop.

In the papermaking workshop, large stoves are used to cook messy things, and plant ash and lime are also added.

Then it is fished out, transported to the river, and crushed in a crusher driven by a water tanker.

Others use a pedal grinder to break the cooked food into small pieces.

No more putting it in a barrel and pounding it around with a stick.

Afterwards, the slurry is scooped out on a layer of mats and placed on a wooden shelf in the house to dry, with a fire channel in the house to heat it up.

When it dries, peel it off one by one to become paper.

Paper is made of different materials. The raw edge paper used in toilets is made of straw.

The writing paper is made of bamboo, hemp and bark, and some other things are added to it, which are very useful, such as alum and lime.

Papermaking is a technical job, but the people who worked it found that when they arrived at Zhuangzi, it was a laborious job.

There are no technical obstacles, the proprietor has made arrangements.

It even includes the treatment and reuse of residual liquid. Just follow the process and there is no need to consider anything else.

In addition to using the paper in the toilet, the paper is also used for writing.

In addition, I also make my own ink. Various charcoal ash and carbon ash will be produced in the kiln. These are used as raw materials to make ordinary ink and ink.

The writing brush used is a bamboo tube with fur. It takes a lot of effort to find wolf fur. You also have to get rabbit fur. Other furs are available, so take your pick. It’s not calligraphy, so long as you can write.

Find a suitable stone for the inkstone, a fine one.

There is no need to achieve the kind of ink that is not easy to dry and the speed of rock ink.

When making ink, just put it in a bowl when it is in liquid form, dip it in it and write. Do you have to make it into ink ingots and then grind it again?

So the four treasures of the study in Zhuangzi are all in one package. We don’t want to buy them. Zhuangzi is poor and the owner has no money, so he can only make them himself.

With the addition of weavers and kiln-burners, there are not enough manpower.

"Why don't you say you can't build a workshop? Mingfu, I'll leave this to you." Li Yi invited Pei Yaoqing to dinner at Zhuangzi.

I went to Chang'an City to invite him. Pei Yaoqing received the invitation and rushed over without saying a word.

It is obviously unrealistic for a person with only a thousand acres of land to invite Chang'an to attend a banquet.

However, Li Yi invited Pei Yaoqing to come and was so happy.

I invited him before lunch, saying it would be tomorrow, but he didn't even eat anything, so Pei Yaoqing hurried over.

Li Yi didn't eat either, so they happened to eat together and talked while eating.

Before eating, Pei Yaoqing endured hunger and went to visit the workshop.

He thought it would be like other workshops, with a group of dark and thin people shivering in thin clothes, working hard in the cold wind.

What I saw was a group of people wearing several layers of clothes, hats, masks, gloves, and fur boots, talking and laughing while working.

At this moment, he looked at Li Yi and looked at him again, as if he had not heard what Li Yi said.

"Mingfu, eat first. I deliberately made the mandarin duck hot pot. One side is spicy, and the other side is simple bone chicken soup."

Li Yi persuaded him to cook, and in order to thank the county magistrate, he made spicy dishes.

Different from the last time I had charcoal in the middle, this one is burned with biogas flames at the bottom.

"You have occupied Zhangjiacun's land, but your own land is not enough? If Zhangjiacun goes to the county to sue, I will definitely award the workshop to Zhangjiacun."

Pei Yaoqing said another thing, which can be regarded as using power to threaten Li Yi.

He always loses in front of Li Yi. If an opportunity arises to regain his position, he should use it quickly.

"Don't worry Mingfu, it won't happen. I promise Zhangjiacun that you can come to see me anytime you are sick." Li Yi replied in one sentence. ＵｕReading www.uｕｓｓ． net

Pei Yaoqing lowered his head, picked up vegetables, and rinsed them, feeling sad.

Forgot, Li Yi is not only a profitable proprietor, but also a miracle doctor.

There is a miracle doctor sitting next to the village, so what if he uses the land in the village?

If you dare to defraud the miracle doctor in his workshop today, you will not be unjust if you get sick and die in front of the miracle doctor tomorrow.

And I really don't dare to judge, so many people live because of Li Yi.

The county magistrate directly sent the workshop to the village, and those people would rush into Chang'an City and go all the way to the gate of the county government office.

I didn’t look at the invitation and said it was tomorrow, so I came today.

"How many people are needed? Is there anyone in the family who is sick?"

Pei Yaoqing took a bite of spicy fried tofu skin and asked with sweat on his nose.

Li Yi Chopsticks paused, thought about it, and nodded: "Come on, I have nothing to do recently, and I can also treat my illness."

He decided to use living people to practice. Anyway, the actual condition of the patient was like that. If he couldn't cure it, even the people from the Imperial Medical Office would not be able to cure him.

He has examination equipment, medicines and surgical instruments, and he also studies Chinese medicine.

Get the equipment to check. If Chinese medicine can cure it, then use Chinese medicine to treat it.

If traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture don't work, try other methods.

It’s just that he’s not good enough in acupuncture skills, but it doesn’t matter, there are videos.

Thinking about it, Li Yi scooped up the red oil soup with a spoon and drank it, sweating and feeling comfortable all over.

"Aren't you hot?" Pei Yaoqing trembled.

"Spicy, and this spicy is not a taste, it is a pain feedback of injury, but it is different from other pains. Some patients can survive after drinking this soup. Medicine is a very magical subject. "

Li Yi said, putting the frozen tofu into the pot again, and at the same time lowering the heat, the soup boiled and splashed out.
