That's all it can do for the time being.
Zhou Lihua's bad habits were all picked up by her grandmother when she was at her parents' home. It is estimated that they won't be able to change for a while.
Su Qiao sighed helplessly and walked out of the room.
I found a clean wooden stick in the corner, moved the stone slab on the large water tank, and mixed the soaked mulberry bark and green sandalwood bark in the tank a few times.
In fact, she had no idea whether this paper could be made.
The method that Xiaosi found out is also very simple. In general, there are only four steps.
Retting or steaming allows the bark to degumm in lye and disperse into fibers.
The fibers are then cut and pounded to form a pulp.
The paper pulp seeps into water to form a slurry, and finally the pulp is fished out with a bamboo mat, so that the paper pulp is interwoven on the bamboo mat to form a thin sheet of wet paper.
Finally, the wet paper is sun-dried or air-dried and peeled off to become paper.
It sounds simple, but it's quite complicated to do.
But the requirements for Su Qiao are not high, as long as it can be used as Coarse Paper in the end.
She originally wanted to get wheat straw to make it, but the wheat hadn't been confiscated yet, and the wheat straw from the previous year was almost used up.
Ernie came over with a stack of palm-sized white bags in his hand, and curiously walked to the tank to take a look. "Sister Qiao'er, what are you soaking in?"
"Good stuff."
Su Qiao Stirred the bark in the three large water tanks in turn, and then covered them with stone covers.
"Can I sell it for money?"
Although Ernie felt that these dark barks might not even give a pig a bite, but now Su Qiao, in her eyes, was a figure who could turn decay into something magical.
Su Qiao smiled, "When it's done, of course it can be sold, and it can be sold for a lot of money."
Although things like Coarse Paper are cheap and inconspicuous, they are needed by every household and are long-term consumables.
Even if it is a small profit but quick turnover, the profit is still considerable.
"Really?" Ernie had no doubt at all and was overjoyed.
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Su Qiao glanced at her, walked to the corner, lifted Back Basket, and picked up the small hoe.
It was still early now, about three o'clock, and she wanted to go up the mountain to dig some herbs.
Ernie curled his lips secretly.
You have deceived me a lot.
But that was all in the past. After learning the truth yesterday, Ernie was too embarrassed to talk anymore.
Thinking of this, Ernie suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit.
He took out a meat bun from his arms and handed it to her. "Are you hungry? Here you go, one for each of you. I didn't eat mine."
This silly girl was skinny and skinny. She probably never had enough to eat, and meat was rare. Now she was willing to give up the meat buns to herself.
How could Su Qiao want her?
He pushed it back directly. "I've already eaten it, you better eat it yourself!"
"If I give it to you, you can eat it."
Ernie felt that she looked down on him, and she was a little reluctant to give it away at first, but now she is determined.
As if she realized that her tone was too harsh, she quickly said, "It's hard to be hungry. I know, I've been hungry before."
Su Qiao glanced around, then whispered Underground Passage into her ear, "I am really full. Let me tell you secretly, I also bought other things to eat in the town. I am very full."
"Really?" Ernie didn't believe it.
There is a lot of money from selling toothbrushes and tooth powder. Can she really have money to buy other food?
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, ask your brother."
Su Qiao Originally wanted to buy some more chicken legs, but was afraid that the old lady would say that she was spending money lavishly.
Ernie Seeing that what she said sounded like that, he took back his hand. "Then... then I can eat it myself?"
"Eat, I have to go up the mountain, it's too late."
