Brother Mu knew that his third brother had a good impression of this brother Lin, and this brother Lin's temperament was completely incomparable with other brothers he had seen.

He looked down at his own house, he couldn't compare with this brother Lin, and brother Mu unconsciously felt a little inferior in his heart.

Who is Xi Nianzhi? Since he was a child, he has been in the palace and among those nobles. In addition, he is smart, so he will not see Mu Geer's inferiority complex.

He pretended not to see, and sat on the kang bed with Mu Geer as usual, and his tone naturally led Mu Geer to chat about the topic.

He found that as long as the topic of the chat was related to his third brother Chen Gongzi, Mu Ge'er would be very relaxed, Xi Nianzhi raised the corners of his mouth, and then led Mu Ge'er to say a lot of statements without him being aware of it. related topics.

For example, to state that for the sake of the future of the tribe and its children, they will not continue to take the imperial examination (of course, this is Mu Geer's own private understanding, but it is not true.).

For example, it is stated that in order to allow the tribesmen to live a warm and warm winter, he has developed a kang.

Mu Ge'er is very simple, he was loved by his family since he was a child, and has been loved by his family since he suffered in Zhang's family, so he is very simple in heart, without so many plots and schemes.

Therefore, when Xi Nianzhi saw what topic he brought up, Mu Geer answered him unpreparedly.

In the end, Xi Nianzhi asked himself in his heart if it was too much to use such a simple Mu Geer to obtain information.

In fact, after Mr. Chen rescued their master and servant last time, he asked the people from Anbu to investigate Mr. Chen. In Yunzhou City, there was no news that he could not find.

Because Yunzhou is the fiefdom given to him by the current emperor.

Just when Xi Nianzhi was about to be a good person and stop talking, he turned his head and saw something from a certain brother.

It is a very beautiful wooden box with carved patterns on it, and there is a small gap in the center of the box, and there is a light yellow paper-like thing from the gap.

But at this moment, Brother Mu felt that he had talked too much before, and the kang bed on his body was too warm, so he was very thirsty.

After he got hot tea from the teapot on the kang table for Xi Nian, he also got a cup for himself and drank it to quench his thirst. After drinking, he felt water stains on the sides of his mouth, so he took out a piece of paper from the gap in the carved wooden box and inserted his mouth .

When Mu Geer pulled it out, Xi Nianzhi clearly smelled a faint fragrance, but he didn't distinguish what it was for a while.

Mu Geer felt Xi Nianzhi's strong gaze, raised his head and saw him staring at the paper in his hand, froze for a moment, then chuckled.

It's because he's too used to it. Since the third brother researched this toilet paper, he rarely uses a handkerchief, and there are several types of toilet paper at home.

The toilet paper used in the toilet is packed in a wooden box and is about the size of a handkerchief. You just pull out a piece of paper every time you use it. This paper can be used to wipe your mouth and hands or whatever.

At the beginning, the family members were very reluctant to wipe their hands and mouths with paper, but the third brother insisted strongly that the paper dragon came out to do these things, otherwise what would it do after researching it.

In the end until now, they have become very accustomed to using this paper towel.

Moreover, the tissue paper he is using now has been reprocessed, it is very delicate and soft, and a little thick tea leaves are added in it, so the tissue paper has a tea fragrance.

When Xi Nianzhi heard Muge'er's laughter, he was not at all embarrassed. He pointed and asked, "Mugeer, what is this? Is it paper?"

"Well, it's paper." Brother Mu nodded, and then handed him the paper in his hand, "This is also researched by my third brother. Although it can't be used for writing, it can be used for daily use."

Xi Nianzhi took the paper box in surprise, and then imitated Mu Geer and took out a tissue. He sniffed lightly to identify the scent he smelt before.

"It's actually the smell of tea." Xi Nianzhi asked in surprise, "What the hell is this?"

Seeing Xi Nianzhi's surprised look, Mu Geer raised a bright smile, "This is what my third brother researched... Except for the toilet paper used in the toilet, this is the toilet paper for daily use."

"Oh my God, Mr. Chen is too powerful. He actually invented this kind of paper. Although it can't be used for reading and writing, it is also very useful." Hobbies, adding that when he was 13 years old, Ah Mu saw that he was interested in doing business, so he gave him a shop to take care of. In the past four years, the business in his hands is not as good as that of his grandfather's house, which is full of big merchants. , but it can be regarded as half of it.

Therefore, he can immediately think of getting the toilet paper and toilet paper to the store, or transporting them back to the capital, thinking that there will be a market.

But he still has a question, "Since Mr. Chen knows how to make paper, why doesn't he make rice paper?" And he is very curious how a peasant scholar can know how to make paper. The origin of Dashang's Xuan paper is only controlled by three families, the Jiang family in Suzhou, the Yan family in Shaocheng, and the Yu family in Jiangzhou.

The three papers have their own characteristics.

Suzhou Jiang’s Shengsheng produced Xuan, which is characterized by the fact that it can be set immediately after the pen is drawn, and the ink seeps quickly, which is not easy to master. This rice paper is often used for landscape brush and ink paintings.

Shaocheng Yan's family is rich in Shuxuan, and its characteristic is that the ink and color will not smear, but its disadvantage is that it will appear "leaking alum" or brittle after a long time.

The Yu family in Jiangzhou is rich in flower paper, which is very popular among boudoir women and young gentlemen.

Therefore, the rice paper of these three companies has its own characteristics and shortcomings, and it is also balanced.

But at this time, the paper in his hand is neither raw nor cooked, but it is very absorbent, and it does not belong to flower paper, but it has patterns and fragrances on it.

Brother Mu heard Xi Nianzhi ask why the third brother didn't make rice paper, he smiled seriously and said: "Actually, my third brother doesn't know how to make rice paper, and this paper is also a broken piece of paper that the third brother found in an ancient book. Fang Zi, after the third brother was admitted to Juren this year, he has been thinking about how to find a permanent source of income for the clan, and then he thought of this residual formula, so he slowly studied this residual formula, and it took more than a month to research it. This toilet paper."

Said that this brother Mu suddenly remembered an interesting thing, covered his mouth and smiled, "Because this recipe is incomplete, it is made like this. Although it can be written, it is easy to scatter ink, and the color is dark yellow. It’s not as clean as rice paper, the third brother thought it was a failed paper, he was very frustrated, once he was injured while using a toilet chip, he used this paper to make toilet paper in a fit of anger, hence the origin of toilet paper and toilet paper.”

After Xi Nianzhi listened to Brother Mu's words, he was stunned. He never expected that the paper would turn into toilet paper in this way.

If the statement was here, he would absolutely refute it.

Actually not, he originally made toilet paper just for the sake of kicking his ass, which is not like what Mu Geer said.

Xi Nianzhi twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "Then, are you Chen planning to produce toilet paper and tissue paper in the future?"

Brother Mu nodded, "Well, the third brother said that our Chen family will pass on this paper in the future, and there is no need to go to outsiders to grab the way out of rice paper."

"It's a good choice." Xi Nianzhi clearly stated his thoughts. With such a small family as the Chen family, except for Mr. Chen, there is no big backer behind him. If he rushed to compete with the three major families for a way out of rice paper, he would definitely Will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the three big families.

To be more ruthless, there might be a catastrophe of genocide. Now that the Chen family does not intervene in rice paper and makes this toilet paper, it will not conflict with the three major families. It may not be possible for the Chen family to become the fourth largest paper-making family in a few years.

Of course, the premise is that you won't be robbed by the envious big family.

Xi Nianzhi rubbed the paper in his hand, another thought came to his mind.

His fief is in Yunzhou, and his elder brother and second brother are in Longguguan. The Chen family is just in the middle of these two places, so can he get involved, as there is no big backer behind the Chen family.

And no matter whether he is from the Lin family of his natal family or the Duke of Lu's mansion, he is not something ordinary people can bully.

But I don't know how the second brother talked with Mr. Chen?

........

The two that Xi Nianzhi was thinking about were returning to the yard from the wasteland at this time, when Jiangong came out and asked them to have lunch.

The two of them who were going to the study looked at each other and smiled, come on, let's have lunch first.

Jiangong called Xi Nianxiu and the other two, and went to the uncle's room to call the uncle and another guest.

Presenting the reception of the two brothers, Nianzhi and Mu Geer helped Chen's mother to serve the meal. When he saw the dishes on the table, the statement laughed. He thought that Chen's mother must have shown her skills today.

As long as the dishes on this table are from his recipes, Chen's mother will cook them all.

Mapo tofu, fried tofu, tofu egg heel, cold bean curd, cold chicken shreds, fried pork with garlic sprouts, bacon sausage, tofu crucian carp soup and pickled fish.

The Chen family's dishes are all served in pots, with eight dishes, and each dish has a lot of weight.

Xi Nianxiu is fine, he was in the barracks, and he had eaten big pot dishes made by the cook, and they were also served in pots.

But Xi Nianzhi hadn't seen it before. The last time he was injured, Mu Geer brought dinner in the room, and the next morning he ate breakfast alone in the room, and left after breakfast.

This is the first time he has seen such a big soup bowl for serving vegetables, and then pots for soup.

That's right, he just thinks that the big bowl of vegetables is a soup bowl, and the soup bowl of soup is a basin...

After all, Xi Nianzhi is a golden branch and jade leaf. When he eats in the mansion, there are more than a dozen or twenty dishes on the table, and the portions of the dishes are very small. He only eats one or two chopsticks for each dish. Ah Yuan and Ah Zuo took good care of them.

So at this moment, he looked at the food in front of him, not knowing how to place his chopsticks in astonishment.

And what kind of dish is this dish in front of him with bright red top and white cubes on the bottom?And that bacon, which he had never eaten in the mansion.

But the aroma of the dishes on the table attracted him again. When Xi Nianxiu saw that he didn't move his chopsticks, he immediately understood the reason, and the corners of his mouth turned up, secretly laughing inwardly.

My younger brother has always been pampered by them, so he is definitely not used to eating big bowls of food in the countryside.

When Chen's mother saw that the two guests did not move their chopsticks, she thought they were embarrassed, so she greeted: "You two brothers, don't dislike the simple food, although it is definitely not as exquisite as the one you eat at home, but the aunt dare say the taste of these dishes Absolutely not bad."

Xi Nianxiu listened to Mother Chen's words, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, I knew it must be delicious when I smelled the fragrance, but let me tell you, I'm not afraid of making fun of you, Ma'am. This is the first time I have seen this white and tender thing, and I don't know How do you put your chopsticks down?"

When Chen's mother heard it, she immediately laughed: "Hahaha, oops, I thought you were disgusted. It turns out that I don't know how to eat this tofu. Tell me sooner!"

The author has something to say: Xi Nianzhi: It’s the first time I ate at Mr. Chen’s house, it’s so embarrassing, I don’t want to see Mr. Chen again o(╥﹏╥)o

Statement: Daughter-in-law, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have told you how to eat tofu, please forgive me!

Xiaojiu: Eat tofu... May I ask if you eat the kind of tofu that is red on the outside and white, tender, smooth and delicate on the inside (^o^)/~
