The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Jiang Ziyan originally decided to use bamboo to make paper only because there were many bamboos on the back mountain and it was easy to obtain materials.However, after looking through the encyclopedia and gaining a better understanding, he planned to use hemp and bark to make paper first.

The encyclopedia clearly states that the structure of bamboo stems is dense, the fibers of bamboo stems are relatively hard, the chemical composition is complex, the production is difficult, and the requirements for production technology are high. Only after accumulating experience in producing hemp and bark paper and mastering high production Only after advanced technology can we produce high-quality bamboo paper.

And he is still a novice in papermaking, and he has not yet done the first step of putting theory into practice.

The process of making paper from hemp and bark is easier and quicker than making paper from wood.

However, in the production process, in addition to strict requirements on raw materials and water quality, a complex and meticulous manufacturing process is also required.It can be made through multiple processes such as fermentation, pulping, soaking, ash covering, cooking, washing, bleaching, beating, and water fishing.

He needs to make a lot of paper, so this is no small project.Fortunately, his encyclopedia has detailed records of these steps, and he only needs to implement them step by step.

After the end of the small glove workshop years ago, they were not allowed to work again. After all, after the winter is over, it is the off-season for gloves.

Moreover, the production method of the gloves is no longer a secret after that period of enthusiasm. It is hard to guarantee that the people in these villages will not make them themselves and sell them.

Qingping Town is not a big place, and now is not a good time to expand the scale of glove production, so Jiang Ziyan closed the small glove workshop, and the yard he rented just happened to be vacant.

The women who made gloves a few years ago in Ping'an Village felt sorry when they heard that they would not be able to come to work after the year.But they also know that gloves are not a hot product after winter.It was reasonable for Jiang Ziyan to make this decision.

Fortunately, when they made gloves before, they had already earned a sum of money, and they were still very grateful to Jiang Ziyan, and only hoped that they would find them next time if they had any work.

After the original big yard was vacated, Jiang Ziyan temporarily used it as a papermaking place.

Originally, he was going to rent a big yard near the county seat. After all, Zhang Qiu and others don't live in Qingping Town, so it would be convenient for them to go to work every day if they make paper in the county seat.

But when he went to the county town to rent a yard, tidy it up, and then transport the things used for papermaking, it would take a while longer. Jiang Ziyan thought about it and decided to discuss it with Zhang Qiu and the others to see if they were willing. Follow him to Qingping Town.

So within two days Jiang Ziyan went to Fengyang County again, this time he didn't hire a coachman, but rented a carriage and asked Qingshan to drive him there.

The roads are all official roads, so it takes a long time, and it was already noon when we arrived.

He went directly to the place where Zhang Qiu and the others lived. After knocking on the door and entering, the veterans were very enthusiastic when they saw him.

He looked around, but he didn't see Zhang Qiu. A lame young man next to him explained, "Brother Zhang hasn't come back yet after going to work. Have you eaten, sir? If you haven't eaten yet, you can sit down and eat together."

Thanks to Jiang Ziyan's twenty taels of silver last time, their lives have been good these days, and they can eat every meal.

Jiang Ziyan nodded and said, "Not yet, okay!"

He had seen this lame young man before. He was the gloomy man standing next to Zhang Qiu when Zhang Qiu robbed him last time, but this time he seemed to be a different person. Hope was ignited.

The young man brought him a bowl of clear noodles, with a poached egg lying on top of the white noodles.

Jiang Ziyan took the face and said, "How do I call you?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "My name is He Xiao."

He Xiaosheng is not tall, and he is a bit thin, but he has a very flexible mind. He is in charge of the daily expenses of the twenty-odd people.

Jiang Ziyan looked at other people's meals, all of them were white noodles, and there were no poached eggs, only his bowl had them.Presumably it should be prepared for Zhang Qiu, but unexpectedly it was given to him.

Even if they have money for the time being, the food for the veterans is still not good, so there is nothing to spend on weekdays | They plan carefully and only hope that the money can be spent more slowly.

Aoyama on the side was very sensible. He was a little surprised to see so many people when he came in, but he didn't ask anything after he parked the car, and obediently squatted aside to eat.

Jiang Ziyan was halfway through his meal when Zhang Qiu came back.There was paint on his face, a bruise at the corner of his eye, and a little blood at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Qiu didn't notice anyone coming to the house at all, he went back to the house and sat down, took a sip of water, and before the people around asked him what happened, he started yelling.

"Little bastard of the dog/day, I have worked hard for a month, and when I settled the wages today, I only paid half a month's wages. What did I say at the beginning that this is the price. These dogs are now How dare you deny it!"

He gritted his teeth, but he didn't explain at all how the wound on his face came from.

He Xiao on the side said: "So?"

"That's why I beat them all up. The fucking bully got on my head!" This was a bit guilty.

He Xiao supported his forehead when he heard the words, and said word by word: "So, this, job, job, no,?"

"Ah, this can't be my fault, it's because they broke their promise first." Zhang Qiu suddenly became like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out, and he lost his arrogance in an instant.

Jiang Ziyan finally knew why He Xiao followed Zhang Qiu the day he was robbed. It turned out that it was to keep an eye on him and prevent him from hitting others impulsively.

"Then you can't be so impulsive! What if the other party reports to the police? Do you want to go in and eat in prison?"

He Xiao is not distressed that he lost his job, but worried about his safety. If one day he hits too hard and is sued to the government by others, his brute strength will be of no use at all. What should people do!

Zhang Qiu looked around, but he didn't dare to look at He Xiao, he was most afraid of He Xiao's nagging.

It was only then that he noticed that Jiang Ziyan was coming.He hurriedly winked at Jiang Ziyan to signal him to help.

Jiang Ziyan looked at him amusedly, he didn't expect this big man with a beard to have such a cute side.

Seeing that He Xiao had almost learned the lesson, he stood up and said, "Brother He, don't be angry, Brother Zhang has come back well. As for the coolie work in this grain store, it doesn't matter, I just happened to have something to talk to You discuss."

Seeing that Jiang Ziyan was going to speak formally, everyone became serious, and they all pretended to be listening attentively.
