Gu Rin's farming life

Probably because the sun was too warm, or he was too tired, this time Gu Lin slept for a long time, when he woke up, the sun was already westward, the sunlight was not very warm, and there was silence around him.

Gu Lin suddenly felt boundless loneliness, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, and the sense of loneliness suddenly hit him like an overwhelming feeling, which made him feel an indescribable sour feeling from his heart.

"No one stands with me in the evening, no one asks me how to warm the porridge."

Suddenly, this line of lyrics came to his mind like this, piercing the bottom of his heart.

He is not a person with a delicate mind, and he doesn't have so many delicate and sensitive thoughts, but at such an evening, he really felt boundless loneliness. He couldn't help rubbing the corners of his eyes, rubbing away the astringency from the corners of his eyes, and stood up , I didn't notice His Majesty the Cat was on him for a moment, if His Majesty Cat's eyes were not sharp and his claws would fall off, one paw caught on his clothes and hung on him firmly.

Gu Lin picked it up and kissed its fluffy cat head.

His Majesty the Cat wanted to yell at him, but when he saw the blue shadows around his eyes, he thought about it and decided to forget it. He flicked his tail in his arms, triumphantly, look, what a good master I am, tolerant and kind , As a slave, I will definitely be grateful to Dade, and pay a lot of tribute to Xiaoyu.

"Are you up?" Wen Yan cooked the porridge, and thought about coming out to see Gu Lin, the sun was about to set, and he could no longer sleep outside, but when he came out, he saw him hugging the cat and blowing the wind, he couldn't help twisting his head My eyebrows, it's winter, the wind is chilly, what's there to blow?

So he stepped forward and hugged the cat in Gu Lin's arms, "Go wash your hands and drink some porridge first."

His Majesty the Cat nestled obediently in Wen Yan's arms.

If you ask it to say, it didn't like Wen Yan at the beginning. This person looks gloomy. Except for Gu Lin who can have a good face in front of Gu Lin, he is cold and indifferent in front of others, especially for the great Majesty Cat. It's not friendly, so it will be tied to the tree at every turn.

It is often bullied by the big fat cat next door, the great cat is actually bullied by the country cat, it is unbearable!

Fortunately, this little boy has a conscience, and often comes to rescue him with a bamboo pole. The magnanimous Majesty the cat forgave him, and when he hugged it, he nestled obediently. Sometimes the little boy's arms are quite warm. Rubbing Wen Yan's chest and thinking.

Gu Lin was quite surprised that the arrogant Majesty Cat was so obedient. It seems that people and cats also have fate. Wen Yan and Majesty Cat are quite destined, which is a good thing. As for why? It would be a good thing. He didn't think of the reason for the time being, but he just vaguely felt that it should be a good thing.

After he figured it out, he put the matter behind him, and his attention returned to Wen Yan's porridge, "Did you cook it?"

"En." Wen Yan nodded, "Drink some hot porridge to warm your body."

Looking at his figure going to the kitchen, Gu Lin felt like his heart was being lifted by a feather, itchy and numb.

"Don't be in a daze." When Wen Yan came out with the porridge, seeing him still standing stupidly at the door, he couldn't help shouting, "The porridge is getting cold."

"Come on." Gu Lin shook off the sore and numb feeling in her heart, washed her hands quickly, and sat upright in front of the table.

Wen Yan had already filled the porridge, and there was still a small dish of pickled melon on the table, and he was filling the cat bowl of His Majesty the Cat with porridge.

Seeing him busy, for some reason, Gu Lin felt that the word ** was written on his head, and couldn't help but sigh, "If anyone marries Xiaoyan you in the future, it will be regarded as a high incense in the previous life. "

Wen Yan's hands paused, what do you mean, aren't you the one who will live with me in the future, why are others involved?

But thinking that Gu Lin might be more reserved, and the way of expressing it is very cryptic, this may be a compliment to himself, so Wen Yan's mood immediately flew up, "That is."

Gu Lin: ......

In fact, he didn't realize until after he finished speaking, Wen Yan is a boy, and he is going to marry a wife in the future, how can he say who will marry him? But he didn't expect that he would accept it generously. Does Wen Yan actually like men?Still a small subject?

Forget it, this is also his own business, and it doesn't hinder other people's affairs. If you like a man, just like it, as long as he is happy.

Gu Lin shrugged and lowered his head to drink the porridge. Well, I didn't expect the porridge made by Wen Yan to taste so good. It's really enjoyable to eat a bowl of hot porridge on such an evening.

Seeing his delicious food, Wen Yan couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth.

Gu Lin, who was full of food and drink, felt that his whole body was alive. With free time, he took out a pen and paper, and wrote a line of poems, "Xiaoyan, I will teach you another poem today. Don't give up, don't go back, and work hard to add food." meal."

"What does this mean?" Wen Yan read it twice before asking directly.

"Oh, it means that there are still a lot of things in my heart that I don't want to say. I just hope you take care and don't suffer from hunger and cold." Gu Lin thought for a while, selected one of the translations from each version, and explained it to Wen Yan .

Wen Yan nodded, indicating that he had written it down, and took the paper in Gu Lin's hand and looked at it carefully.

Seeing his efforts to learn to read, Gu Lin felt that it would be better not to disturb him. He packed up the dishes, washed them and went back to the house to continue sleeping.

Although he slept all afternoon, he felt sleepy again after eating, so he resolutely went back to the house to sleep, and this sleep would last until the next day.

During the period, Mrs. Gu wanted to ask Gu Lin to get up for dinner, but was stopped by Wen Yan.

The next day, Gu Lin got up early and continued to study his paper.

Gu Lin has prepared the materials before, and the next step is to fish for paper.

Fishing paper is also called entering the curtain or making paper. The key to the uniform thickness of the paper lies in this step.

This step is to first put the pulp and water into the papermaking tank, the pulp fibers are suspended freely in the paper, and then put the bamboo screen into the water, so that the fibers are evenly spread on the bamboo screen to form a thin wet paper sheet.

This is not an easy job. The angle at which the bamboo curtain enters the water and the speed at which it is picked up are different, and the thickness and uniformity of the paper that comes out will be much worse. ,

The water in winter is icy cold. When Gu Lin stretched the bamboo curtain into the water, he shivered from the cold, and the bamboo curtain fell to the bottom of the trough with a snap.

Gu Lin shook her paws that were a little red from the cold, and sighed, she really did it on her own and couldn't live.

When the research is not good, it is really asking for trouble if you have to do experiments in the winter.

Now it is really difficult to ride a tiger, Gu Lin couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for herself.

Experiments still have to be done.

Gu Lin did some mental construction before continuing to put his hand into the water.

It's a good thing that Gu Lin didn't prepare much pulp, otherwise his hands would be frozen into pig's trotters after scooping them up.

Looking at the wet paper, Gu Lin felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. It was not easy. In such a winter, he actually fished out the paper in the icy water. I really admire myself. .

After squawking for a while, Gu Lin started the next step.

Gu Lin did the step of squeezing dry very smoothly, and it didn't take long to get it done.

Finally, it came to the stage of baking paper.

At this step, I finally saw the dawn of hope. Gu Lin couldn't help but want to laugh three times, but after thinking about it, he still restrained himself. Now is not the time to celebrate. After all, this step is a test of patience. All previous efforts were wasted.

The method of baking paper is to separate the wet paper that has been squeezed out one by one, and then brush it on the outside of the drying wall, and use the heat of the fire inside the wall to transfer to the outer wall to evaporate the moisture in the paper to dry the paper. .

Gu Lin didn't have much experience in this step. At the beginning, the wall drying temperature was too high, and the paper that came out of the oven was crumpled and brittle. If you moved a little more, it would break.

Gu Lin felt that what was broken was not paper, but his heart. After working so hard for so long, it was more unacceptable to fail at the last step than to fail at the beginning.

However, there are still wet papers, one by one to slowly experiment.

In the end, there were still successes, but the quality was uneven.

"You did this?" Gu Xian touched the paper in his hand, he couldn't believe it.

Although the color, feel, and quality of these papers are different, the common point is that they are much better than the existing book papers.

"En." Gu Lin nodded, looking a little regretful, "It's not considered a success."

"Compared to the existing ones, it's already pretty good." Gu Xian touched a piece of paper carefully, "You know, the best quality paper that Dashao currently has is not as good as this."

Gu Xian was a little disgusted, "In my world, this kind of paper can only be regarded as low-quality, defective products, and there is no chance of entering the market."

"It's a pity that I can't see what your paper looks like." Gu Xian looked regretful, and he had no doubts about what Gu Lin said. The tree called the cat climbing frame in Gu Lin's room proved this point. It's just a cat toy, and it's so exquisitely made, let alone other things.

"Well." Gu Lin thought for a while, went into the room and took something out. It was a card, which was given to the cat cake bought for His Majesty the Cat's birthday, and His Majesty the Cat brought it here, "Look."

Gu Xian took the card and rubbed it with his fingers. The delicate touch caught Gu Xian's heart in an instant. He couldn't put it down and rubbed the card in his hand, "Is this your paper?"

"It's not the best yet." Seeing him like that, Gu Lin finally found a little self-confidence of modern people, but this sense of superiority lasted for less than three seconds before he became discouraged again. It's not him who can be proud of it. made it.

Gu Xian's eyes lit up, and he stared at Gu Lin, "Can you make it?" "It's still in the experiment." Gu Lin spread his hands, "It's not easy to make paper, and it's too troublesome to do it by yourself."

"It's really not easy." Gu Xian frowned, thinking that Gu Lin had been busy in that small room for such a long time, and he was already thin.

However, although the quality of the paper he made now cannot be compared with the quality of this card, it is already considered very good compared to the existing paper.

Paper is an expensive thing, and the paper Gu Lin made must be more expensive than the existing paper.

Gu Xian felt that he saw a golden mountain, but seeing Gu Lin working so hard, he also knew that this matter was not easy. He looked at Gu Lin, "Do you have any plans now?"

"I plan to hire a few people first, and make a batch of paper to test the water first." Gu Lin thought for a while and said, he spent so much time researching how to make better quality paper by hand in ancient times, not to do it For the benefit of the public, "As for the improvement of paper, I will continue to research."

"Hire someone..." Gu Xian's expression was a bit serious, "If you hire someone, the prescription will be leaked..."

"Don't worry about this." Gu Lin waved his hand, saying that he doesn't care, "The process is very complicated, let's hire people, a few people are responsible for one link, and it's fine to separate each link."

"It's okay." Gu Xian thought for a while, and immediately figured it out, "Each responsible link is different, so the work is different, but their work can be connected. After completing one link, let go to the next link. Go on, and on, and on, until all the links are done."

The reason why he didn't think of this at first was because he hadn't been exposed to this aspect before. After being reminded by Gu Lin, he immediately realized the advantages of this working mode, and he also brought up the concept of assembly line work by the way.

Gu Lin looked confused, he knew that Gu Xian was smart, but he didn't expect to be so smart, so he mentioned it a little bit, and Gu Xian even made an assembly line.

Sure enough, there is a gap between geniuses and ordinary people, and the gap is still huge.

"However, this matter is not that simple." Gu Lin frowned, "If you want to manufacture paper in large quantities, you still need to find a workshop."

"I need to discuss this with my father." Gu Xian also thought of this, thinking that this is a big matter, and it would be better for the whole family to discuss it.

"That's fine." Gu Lin didn't have any opinion. Anyway, he didn't intend to handle the manufacturing workshop by himself. It is naturally best if someone discusses and helps.

Feeling that one matter was resolved, he felt relaxed and yawned, "It's not urgent anyway, I'm going to sleep first."

Without waiting for Gu Xian's answer, he went into the room and threw himself on the bed, falling into a dream soon.

Gu Xian touched the paper on the table and showed a beautiful smile. He has already written all the articles related to punctuation marks, and now there is a new paper made by Gu Lin. It's easy to get a good name.

It seems that he was right in guessing, the world-famous fortune teller said it was not Erlang, but Xiao Lin.
