Chapter 42
Su Cheng carried a bamboo basket on her back, like a tourist, holding a hatchet in one hand and a stick picked up by the roadside in the other, and pulled the grass from time to time.

But then it seemed that luck ran out, and I didn't come across a mushroom for more than an hour.

Su Cheng didn't care. After all, he just wanted to pick up something missing. It was unexpected that he could pick up less than half the basket of mushrooms.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were overjoyed, and all launched barrage jokes.

"I was scared to death, I thought Brother Su could really pick up a bamboo basket full today!"

"If Brother Su really picked up the bamboo baskets today, then I won't go into the mountains early in the future, and I will also pick up the leaks."

The audience said this is normal.

It doesn't make sense that the villagers have scraped the mountain skin, and there are still a lot of good things left.

Su Cheng glanced at the barrage, shook his head and laughed, "Okay, today's fungus will be picked up here first, and I will go back to the Taoist temple after I cut down a few mulberry trees."

"On the way here, I saw a few mulberry trees over there." Su Cheng raised the machete and pointed in the direction of the mountain, "It's just enough to cut it down."

The micro-drone adjusted the angle, and the netizens looked in the direction he pointed.

"Why didn't I see it just now?"

"I'll go, you're stupid upstairs, what do you know about paper mulberry?"

"Ahem, I wanted to ask just now, but I suddenly remembered that I had never seen it, or I had seen it, but I didn't know its name."

Su Cheng shook her head, walked back, and said with a smile: "I guess many netizens have seen mulberry trees. This kind of tree is not a precious wood, and it has a strong growth ability. It can be found in plains, hills, and mountains. .”

"It's found in many villages. The leaves look like Yang Jian's trident, and there are many tiny fluff on them."

"After you see it later, you will probably recognize it."

When the audience heard what Su Cheng said, they immediately became curious.

Soon, he controlled the micro drone to the destination.

"Look, everyone, this is the paper tree."

Su Cheng reached out and patted the trunk of the mulberry tree, making a crisp snapping sound, "The mulberry tree can grow to 10 to 20 meters, so this one is relatively tall."

As he spoke, he began to search to see which branch was easier to cut off.

Netizens also excitedly posted barrages, saying that they had seen the paper tree, and some viewers even said that there was one at their doorstep.

It was near noon, and the sun was scorching hot. He raised his hand to cover the sunlight falling from the gaps in the leaves, "Have you seen the red fruits on the tree?"

"That is the fruit of the tree, which has high medicinal value, nourishing the kidney and improving eyesight."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, the barrage in the live broadcast room began to surge.

"I'll go? Tonify the kidney? Good stuff, Brother Su, make more."

"This is no better than goji berries!"

"As a middle-aged person, there is no choice but to soak wolfberries in a thermos."

Netizens started to get angry, Su Cheng looked at it helplessly and shook his head, this group of sand sculpture netizens can drive anything in a car.

He had already looked at several branches, put down the back basket, and only took a hatchet, ready to do it.

I saw him climb up the slope, and then climbed a certain distance along the main trunk, approaching a branch, raised the hatchet, and chopped two or three times with the knife in his hand, cutting off the branch.

Then repeat the same operation and cut off the other branches one by one.

Su Cheng climbed down slowly, used a hatchet to slightly modify the branches on the ground, and said with a satisfied smile, "It's almost done, let's go back to the Taoist Temple!"

……

When Su Cheng returned to the Taoist temple, he cleaned the mushrooms first, and then started to process the mulberry tree.

The miniature drone hovered over the Taoist temple, and more and more viewers in the live broadcast room were staring at him curiously.

Many netizens saw Su Cheng smashing a tree branch with a hammer as soon as they entered the live broadcast room, and they were stunned.

"I'll go, isn't this Master Su's live broadcast room?"

"Master Su doesn't do embroidery, but micro-carving instead of carpentry?"

Su Cheng didn't look at the barrage, but concentrated on taking the skin, using a hammer to break open from one end of the branch first, and then tear the skin.

This process wasn't too difficult, it was easy for him who drank several bottles of body enhancement liquid.

Quickly peel off the bark of more than a dozen twigs.

"The next step is skin scraping."

Su Cheng smiled and moved a square stone, slammed it on the ground with a bang, and then turned over the torn bark, scraping off the green and black skin on the surface little by little.

Netizens were stunned when they saw this scene.

"Brother Su, why are you scraping the bark?"

"Isn't it just fiber? That's fiber too."

At this moment, Chen Daochang, who hadn't posted a barrage for a long time, came out again, taking on the role of science popularization.

[Taoist Master Chen of Wudang Mountain]: "Su Xiaoyou wants the plant fiber inside. The outer layer is colored. If it is not removed, the final paper will contain impurities and be unclean."

Su Cheng sat on a small bench and scraped the skin back and forth with a hatchet, "The Taoist priest is right, in fact, even if the skin is scraped off, the final paper probably won't be too white."

"A few additions are needed."

He didn't say what kind of addition it was, and he took his time, showing the ancient papermaking method to the audience bit by bit.

The four great inventions condensed by the wisdom of the working people in ancient China are all treasures.

Although modern craftsmanship can do better, the word "inheritance" refers more to culture and heritage.

Su Cheng concentrated on scraping off the bark bit by bit, and soon only beige fibers remained.

"All right!"

Su Cheng put down the hatchet, straightened her waist, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to scrape off so much bark, especially since the hatchet was sharp and could easily cut off the bark.

"Brother Su, what should we do next?"

"It should be soaked, right? Didn't Brother Su say before that you can't dry the skin first, then soak it after scraping the skin."

Su Cheng glanced at the bullet screen, grabbed all the bark, and said with a smile: "Actually, mine is a relatively simple ancient method of making paper."

"The ancients mostly used bamboo to make paper. Although there is bamboo in Wudang Mountain, it takes longer to use bamboo."

"If I have a chance in the future, I will take everyone to truly experience the process and atmosphere of ancient papermaking."

"Today, it takes less time to replace it with bark bark. In fact, the effect of the steps is similar."

With a few simple explanations, Su Cheng took a handful of tree bark to the drying rack and hung the bark on it one by one.

"First dry it, then soak it for about a week and it will be ready for use."

"Sun drying before soaking can soften the fibers better."

After hanging the bark, Su Cheng cleaned up the yard and prepared to make lunch.

At this moment, Chen Daochang wandered into the Taoist temple with his red sandalwood whisk.

Su Cheng and the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.

"Daozhang, why are you here?"

"Ahem." Daoist Chen flicked his whisk, "Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, I must be exhausted seeing Su Xiaoyou's work all morning. How about it, how about Pindao cooking for Su Xiaoyou's lunch?"

Su Cheng: "...??"

The netizens in the live broadcast room were immediately numb.

"Damn it?! I've never seen such a brazen person who wants to take advantage of Brother Su, but even finds such a high-sounding reason."

"Chen Daochang, the Taoist devil, really lives up to his reputation!"

"Brother Su, I think the Taoist priest has been eyeing your fish and mushrooms for a long time!"

"Hey? Isn't that right? As a monk, the Taoist priest can eat meat?"
