After delaying for such a while, many students had gathered at the entrance of the college.

Of course, Bailudong Academy is out of school right now, so I just happened to come over to join in the fun.

Zhang Shuchuan punched so fast that ordinary people couldn't see clearly. Brother Xie Zongyu took a few steps back.

Xie Zonggang felt as if his fist had been smashed, and the pain was so painful that he was about to break out in a cold sweat.

I originally thought he was just a guy with some boxing skills, but I didn't expect this man to be so strong.

He actually lost with one punch!

He is a person with clear grudges.

The younger brother came back crying and complained that he had been beaten at the college. He called a doctor and said it was just a flesh wound.

However, the Xie family couldn't let go of this, so he thought of avenging his brother and just kicking him back.

The Xie family likes to keep their grudges clear when doing things, and prefer to do things openly. They hate those secretly treacherous villains the most.

Although he lost, he still endured the severe pain and clenched his fists at Zhang Shuchuan.

"I lost! This matter is over! I will restrain my brother and won't trouble you anymore. Please don't argue with my brother, let alone take the initiative to trouble him!"

Zhang Shuchuan nodded with a smile and looked at this person with admiration.

Then Zhang Shuchuan ignored the looks of people around him and went home to cook.

Today's food is not as good as yesterday's. After all, there are so many people in the Zhang family studying now, and the expenses are high. Moreover, old man Zhang and his three sons are tinkering with the papermaking business, so they just took a bite and went back to work.

Even Xia Yunrou had no time to spare.

Because she now has the highest status in the Zhang family, serving as a papermaking instructor.

When Zhang Shuchuan was having dinner, he was able to spend some time with his wife, and he was very affectionate when he was called away by Old Man Zhang.

Zhang Shuchuan had no choice but to carry two lunch boxes and deliver meals to his two brothers.

Early this morning, Old Man Zhang directed his three sons to cut the tree into sections and then peel it.

Now the tree has been peeled off and cut into small pieces, ready for steaming.

Although the Yu family, who also lived in the same courtyard, didn't know what the Zhang family was doing, they didn't ask since the Zhang family didn't want to tell them.

Yu Guang took his son out to look for work every day.

But the capital city is big, but there are very few people willing to hire them, or the wages are very small. This money can't even buy a steamed bun, and it's still a tiring job. How could they do it?

But if you don't work, you have to spend money every day, so you can't rely on the Zhang family for everything.

The Zhang family is willing to give them rooms to live in, which is already very good to them.

Old man Zhang couldn't bear to see the Yu family and his son coming back with disappointed faces.

He watched Yu Guang grow up to be almost like his nephew, and he followed them to fight and kill with them along the way, and he had a deep relationship with them.

Therefore, he and Yu Guang said: "The grandchildren have gone to school, and the work at home is a bit big now. How about you come and help me, and we can eat together in the future!"

After hearing this, Yu Guang's eyes turned red.

He knew that Old Man Zhang was helping his family in other ways.

Even if Old Man Zhang didn't say that, he would just do whatever he saw and never say anything more.

Yu Guang went back and told the Yu family, and everyone was naturally very grateful.

But I still have to take care of my own meals.

When Mrs. Zhang saw the Yu family like this, she always made some rare dishes and served them to the Yu family as extras.

The Yu family will also try their best to bring back some side dishes made by themselves, which I won’t discuss in detail later.

Boss Zhang followed Xia Yunrou's instructions, added the sifted fire ash to the wood, and then started cooking.

After the wood has been cooked for an hour or two, it becomes a little soft.

After taking it out, wash off the ashes, smash the wood with a stone mortar, then put it into a basin and filter out the residue.

After getting the wood pulp without many impurities, use the paper mold net to put it into the wood pulp up and down, and it will be covered with a layer of wet paper.

Finally, the layers of wood pulp are dried.

Because everyone was anxious to see the effect, Xia Yunrou asked people to use fire to dry the paper.

When several people came back from school, they were shocked when they saw the snow-white paper in the yard.

So much so that everyone forgot to have dinner.

"Actually, it's best to use paper mulberry. You can also use bamboo to make less paper. When you practice big calligraphy, you won't worry about the paper."

Xia Yunrou felt that compared with modern times, the craftsmanship of this paper was still much rougher.

Because raw wood is used and has not been dried and fully soaked, the pulping is not very satisfactory.

In addition, the paper was not lightly polished by the porcelain bowl at the end, so the paper was not smooth.

Everyone nodded after hearing this. Anyway, whatever Xia Yunrou said now was right.

Papermaking seems simple, but the process is quite complex and tiring.

Now that the Zhang family has decided to start this business, they feel that their yard is too small.

If you make some for your own use, that's fine.

It seems that if you want to do this business, you still have to find a place.

Early the next morning, Old Man Zhang was busy dragging Zhang Lao Er and Zhang Lao San out to find a place.

Only Boss Zhang was left at home to make more paper molds and things for papermaking.

Zhang Shuchuan and others attended school for two days and were on the right track.

Seeing that their younger brother was doing well in the class, the two brothers Zhang Shuji thought that his younger brother was doing very well academically, so they worked harder, not trying to catch up with his younger brother, but just not dragging him down too much.

Xia Yunrou also thought that her husband had finally changed his gender and could study hard. After all, if there was no scholar in the family, it would be difficult to maintain the papermaking business.

After all, this is really profitable nowadays, and there are many jealous people.

In the evening, she asked about it, and Zhang Shuchuan kept saying that he should be able to pass the exam because of how hard he worked and how serious he was.

Then, without waiting for Xia Yunrou to reply, she rushed forward.

Zhang Shuchuan felt a little guilty. He seemed to have been fishing in class.

Especially the Four Books and Five Classics, classical Chinese is simply the best lullaby.

However, he still planned to borrow the annotations from Master and copy them down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I asked to borrow a book, I was rejected.

People at this time valued books more than Zhang Shuchuan knew.

In particular, my annotations on books would only be given to or borrowed from me except for close disciples and close friends.

When Zhang Shuchuan was a little worried, Lu Qiyuan said that he could invite Zhang Shuchuan to his house to copy books.

"My grandfather agreed and said that I could take my classmates and friends to his study to copy books, as long as they don't get dirty or damaged."

Lu Qiyuan said proudly.

You know how precious your grandfather is to his books. Even when your uncle comes in, he has to tell you in advance.

Unexpectedly, his grandfather immediately agreed after he mentioned it.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuchuan put his arm around Lu Qiyuan's shoulders and said, "Good brother, let's go to my house for dinner. I will be the chef today."

He knew that this boy was delicious. As long as he was cooking, this boy would not refuse.

Sure enough, Lu Qiyuan's eyes were shining brightly and his throat moved up and down a few times.

Old man Zhang took his son around for two days and finally found a dilapidated and remote courtyard in the west of the capital.
