[Comprehensive] Be with Ancient Celebrities

Counting Gu Yong and Wang Xiangzhen, they didn't stay here for a long time at Ayu's place.I went back in the middle of the afternoon, but Ayu's reception of the two celebrities was very rewarding. Not only was the reputation problem that he had been worrying about solved, but the economic problem was also quickly improved.

You see, although Wang Xiang didn't bring many things with him, but this time he left all the painting things he took with him when he went up to the mountain to enjoy the scenery. Don't say this word, do the paintings have any artistic value? It's those tools that are quite valuable.Well, it’s not just that it’s worth the money that makes Ayu happy, but that it fills up the props at home without having to spend money on purchases. Speaking of which, it’s a gift from such a celebrity, which makes Ayu quite satisfied.

As for the local boss Gu Yong?Needless to say, people may really have taken a fancy to Ayu's talent, and there are signs of early investment, so they are very generous.Not only did Qin stay, but by the way, less than a day after she left, she sent her family to deliver a lot of daily necessities, from cloth and clothes, to pens, inks, paper and inkstones, rice noodles, sauce and vinegar, etc., and even two jars of so-called The wine is so good that Uncle Fu Shou couldn't help but be speechless.To put it bluntly, you don’t need to buy it for half a year, how much do you say.Anyway, it was a one-off that greatly improved Ayu's life here.Seeing that there is no trace of gold and silver, Ayu is very satisfied with this handwriting and thoughtfulness.

You say pens, inks, papers and inkstones are worthless?Dear, this is the Three Kingdoms. Bamboo slips are still used for writing these days, and the rich and wealthy still use cloth as paper. What price do you think this paper is?Anyway, Ayu thinks it's good.At least in the case of the first time he made paper himself and only made toilet paper, it really came in time.

Oh, speaking of toilet paper, did you suddenly think of those bamboos that Ayu soaked before winter arrived?Yes, that's it.You said that he made it according to the recipe. How come the paper is so brittle and thick?Is my craft too poor?Ordinarily, Ayu can be regarded as a kind of ingenuity.Not to mention how much the brain has been developed after so many time travels, how good the memory is, and how fast the brain turns, counting the countless manual technical jobs he has done, this hand is definitely a coincidence, how to put it In this papermaking, did Leng learn such a lesson?

Ayu felt that this was definitely due to insufficient experiments. There must be a trick to how fine the fiber should be pounded and how to shake the sieve, but he has not figured it out yet.The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

Of course, Ayu was dissatisfied, but the others thought it was very good. In the situation where ordinary people use toilet paper to go to the toilet, and rich and wealthy households use cloth to wipe their buttocks, it is possible to have such a rough, non-writing paper to go to the toilet. , They felt that it was simply a taboo-like enjoyment.

Yes, taboo-like.Does it sound a bit weird?As I said before, paper is rare in this era, and the rare yellow paper used by Taoist priests is all high-end products.Otherwise, when the Yellow Turbans revolted, the five buckets of rice talisman paper ashes would not be so effective.Paper is something that has not been deified.

More importantly, the paper of this era, before Cai Lun made paper, was actually what was called hètí in Guanzhong and Fangxu in Nanjun.It is the product of sericulture, and the first-class cocoons can be drawn directly, but those cocoons with bad and diseased cocoons are not willing to be thrown away, and they are put into boiling water to get the silk by flocculation.After the wadding is finished, there are often some residual wadding left on the bamboo mat. After several times, it will accumulate into a layer of fiber flakes. This thing is dried and peeled off in the sun, and it is hexa and square wadding.

In Cai Lun, papermaking is valuable, and in the Weaver Girl's House, He He is used as a sacrifice to worship Lei Zu. Before the sacrifice, literate people are often invited to write some eulogies on it.Cai Lun discovered this, and based on this, he used bark, hemp and cloth.Fishnet thought paper.It is pounded into pulp first, then the film is removed to remove water, and then dried to make paper, which is called "Caihou paper" in later generations.But honey, when did that happen?It is the Eastern Han Dynasty, judging from the dates of Cai Lun's birth and death, that is, from 61 AD to 121 AD.It has been more than 100 years now, and this so-called paper is still so expensive, what does this mean?

The sequelae of dominating Confucianism!Dear friends, Cai Lun's method is still used to make paper all these years. What's more, these papermaking technologies have not only failed to be popularized, but have also become the private property of the big family members who strictly guard against leaks. Under such circumstances, how many Individuals will bend down and settle down to improve technology?So, up to now, paper is still so awesome!The ordinary paper used for drawing a picture can be directly used as a gift.

Such high-ranking paper was suddenly created by my husband one day, and it became a fart/butt wiper. Tell me, these people who have lived at the bottom all the year round, even for generations, what kind of mood do they use when they use it? ?Worship?Hehe, I've wiped my fart, and I still worship a fart!But the values ​​keep reminding them how rare this thing is. Tell me, what does it feel like every time you use it?Anyway, if you use it secretly, you don’t dare to let people know it is certain. Isn’t this a taboo?

Conversely, when they saw Ayu throwing bamboo leaves, leaves, vines, hemp stalks and so on into the big tank again, their pride couldn't help but surge up.So much so that Ayu's orders, and every order related to these water tanks, were carried out with trepidation, for fear that something would be missed, which would delay the great cause of his family's papermaking.And he was very happy that his husband found such a secret recipe from nowhere. Uncle Fushou even thought that with this alone, even if he could only produce toilet paper in the future, it would definitely be a good business. In the future, Duodu will become one of the big families, and he is a little bit displeased with the hope that this is shining.

"Lang Jun, is the water tank still changing today?"

See how strong this subjective initiative is. Seeing that the gift giver has left, there are no outsiders, and even if my husband is looking at the fibers on the paper delivered to the sun, he comes up and asks about work.He is more proactive than Ayu.

"Change, why don't you change it? Let's change it one more time this time, even if we make mud, we need to be more careful. Look, look at this paper, how meticulous it is, we are still a little bit worse."

"Lang Jun, how many years have he made the recipe, how can we compare? Besides, the material used, I have never heard that bamboo leaves can be used, you don't even let the leaves go, and It's... no comparison. It's pretty good now."

Uncle Fushou felt that although the recipe that my husband got from someone who didn't know where it was was really good, at least it could make toilet paper, but it was simply a fantasy to compare with these good papers.Although he doesn't understand what is used to make these papers, but thinking about the price, thinking about the bamboo leaves that can be seen everywhere at home, it is not the same grade, okay?

Of course, he didn't know that, in the later generations, bamboo paper almost became the leading product in the paper industry in the early Song Dynasty. .

"Why is there no comparison? Since you can make toilet paper, you must be able to make paper that can be written on. The difference is that it is paper? It must be because it is not detailed enough. Don't be discouraged, I know how to measure."

As the head of the family, Ayu has already said so, what else can Uncle Fushou say, other than arrange for Uncle Quan and the others to hurry up and continue to support Ayu's experiment, he can only change the topic and talk about other things.

"Lang Jun, we went shopping this time, and we didn't go because there were people coming, so shall we go after a while? I don't see anything else. The needles and threads are really not enough. It's getting hotter day by day. Our summer clothes...we should make a few new ones, we can wear old ones. You, seeing celebrities come and go, you still need to be decent. Now there are cloths from the Gu family at home, and it doesn’t cost much to throw them away. It’s big, and it’s just a matter of needlework if you do it yourself, and it’s really unreasonable not to do the upper body.”

As soon as Uncle Fu Shou talked about the visit of celebrities, his tone rose a bit. In his opinion, this is simply the most respectable person in the old Qin family over the years.In the past, not to mention famous people from other countries, but those who belonged to famous families like the old Gu's family near their own, they really didn't even take a look at them; their side branches could crush them; just go to the door, People may not pay attention to it, but now?Oops, it looks long just thinking about it!Speaking out, the waist is straight.

On the other hand, thinking about my husband, Uncle Fushou is even more satisfied and couldn't be more satisfied.If you don't have enough servants, let's be arrogant: our lord is still talented and capable, look, it's the first time we see you and you will be overwhelmed.People pay so much attention to it, even famous ministers want to give gifts...

The more you think about it, the more beautiful the smile on Uncle Fushou's face is that you can't bear to look directly at it, and you always feel a little embarrassing.This made Ayu, who turned his head slightly when he heard Uncle Fushou say this, didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he calmed down, and seeing Uncle Fushou regained his composure, he said in a funny way:

"You've already mentioned this, so I can say no? But it's just for needlework, so you don't have to go out of your way. Just ask those people down the mountain when they'll be there. Just let them take it. It's not a big deal. Buy it. A few hundred texts is enough for us to use for a long time. By the way, how did they go this time? How good is the harvest?"

But I can't continue to talk about celebrities and so on. Looking at Uncle Fushou's expression, Ayu knew that these two old men came so once, it really made Uncle Fushou's whole body shake.Although it is common sense to be excited or something, after all, fame is really a state that can be eaten these days, but no matter how excited you are, you should have a sense of proportion, it is not a good thing to be floating all the time.The most important thing is that Ayu knows that according to his own plan, there will be more such things in the future, and Uncle Fushou can't be so dizzy all the time.It should also be cold, get used to it more, and maintain a little sense of normalcy.

So, this topic has changed very quickly, from the question of new clothes, to shopping, and then from shopping to those people at the bottom of the mountain. It's a big turning point , just like the elevator, going down three floors.And although Uncle Fushou didn't understand what Ayu meant, he answered the words very quickly. He was the one who had been paying attention, so how could he not know.

"Okay, what's wrong, with the method you taught, they brought a lot of medicinal materials this time, the prey went over, and they came back with a lot of rice. Now it looks like this day is better than before. Every day After a dry meal, they looked better. By the way, this time they went, they also inquired about other things. It was said that there seemed to be water bandits in the south of the water, and many people in the town were panicked. How did it go there? Alas, if our family didn’t have a source of salt now, it would be really troublesome. Over there is the fastest waterway for us to buy salty salt in the southeast.”

There are bandits?Why does Ayu feel that this is better than the later period of the Republic of China, which claimed that there are no mountains and no bandits?Do you mean that there is a bandit gene in the blood of our nation?Since nearly 2000 years ago, has it been going on?

"Water bandits? The town is so scared. Could it be possible that these people can still enter the town? Although it is not the Qin and Han Dynasties now, and the robbers are not caught so tightly, but after all, this is still Kuaiji, not some barbaric place." Earth, you don't have that much guts."

"Oh, my lord, our place is not a prosperous place like Wu County, it's too bad there are few places to ask for food, and those ruthless people who can't get along will naturally become bandits. The Yue people who came over, the mountain barbarians, that's even more... Although there are more barracks in the counties in the north, they will occasionally suffer from these people, but with these people, these troubles are less after all, alas, I really don't know what it is When will there be no wars, when will there be peace. Sometimes when you think about it, the big man... is actually quite good."

Speaking of the word Taiping, even as a servant, Uncle Fushou, who was not in danger of being conscripted to fight a war, couldn't help showing a bit of desire. Every time he went down the mountain and looked at the old house, he felt sore, and always felt a little sorry for the old master. Family, I am sorry for my status as the housekeeper of this generation.That is ancestral property, but now it can only be left to be desolate. The empty house is like a knife pierced in the heart, weeping blood every day.For this reason, even the famines in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty seemed to be acceptable, after all, they could see the future at that time.But now... when will it be a head!

Scholars at the top seek unity, most of which are for profit, to fight for power and profit, while people at the bottom desire unity, more for the sake of a peaceful world and a peaceful life.This may also be the reason why the Sima family unified the world so quickly.When the most solid force at the top is defeated, when the so-called courtiers are disappointed and submissive, the so-called Three Kingdoms, the so-called country will fall apart.

After all, this so-called country does not have much cohesive force and deep feelings for the people at the bottom. Except for the complicated taxes and frequent conscription, the people have never felt how much good this country has given. Naturally, no one is willing to do it for them. Stick to it, work hard for it.It is precisely because of this that he can easily accept the change of the imperial flag at the head of the city.He even hoped that after this time, there would be no war in the world, and the men in the family would be able to escape the misery of being forcibly recruited. In this way, the natural situation will sweep over, so it will be very smooth.

"It will be fine, everything will be fine."

What can Ayu say?Say that the world must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time?This is the Three Kingdoms, not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In a word, it can only be used in history books, not in reality.Reality is always crueler than words in books.Human lives here are never just numbers!
