"And Xiao Wu, don't say this again in the future."
The three of them looked at each other and knelt down at the same time. "Yes, Master, please rest assured!"
Su Qiao didn't know that so many things had happened after she left. She hurried back home, and while there was no one in the yard, she took the two packages from Back Basket back to her room, stuffed them into the wooden cabinet on the bed, and then went to the upper room.
"Master, milk, I'm back digging for herbs."
The old lady was picking up her insoles and raised her head and glanced at her. "You're back? There's rice on the stove for you to heat up. Go and eat it quickly."
"Oh, okay." Su Qiao was actually full, but the old lady didn't know that she had gone to another courtyard. She thought she was going to the mountains to dig herbs and wild vegetables.
The old man was relieved to see that she came back safely. He wanted to ask something, but finally gave up.
"Master, then I'm going to eat."
Su Qiao is remembering the Coarse Paper that was posted on the old wooden door in the morning.
It has been in the sun for most of the day and cannot be left in the sun anymore.
The old man waved his cigarette stalk. "Go!"
After walking out of the upper room, Su Qiao went straight to the dilapidated wooden doors on the left side of her house under the earthen wall.
In the more than two dozen wooden frames, the slurry that was still wet in the morning had now formed into dense flaky paper patterns.
It's just that half of it is yellowish in color and half is white in color.
Seeing this scene, Su Qiao ran over happily, carefully picked up a mold wooden frame, and peeled off the dry paper inside.
[Host, your Coarse Paper, is this considered a success?] 444 also stared intently.
"Of course it worked."
What a surprise.
The density, toughness, and soft texture of this paper were beyond Su Qiao's predictions.
It was the first time for Coarse Paper to do so well. Su Qiao was overjoyed.
This time there is no need to use leaves instead.
[Of these two types, which one is made of mulberry bark and which one is made of green sandalwood bark?]
"The light yellow one is made of mulberry bark, and the thicker white one is made of green sandalwood bark."
"Next time I soak it, I need to add more lime and extend the cooking time."
This saves time and makes the paper whiter and more delicate and soft.
[Then you still have to burn lime.]
"Just burn it. Anyway, we will build a house in the future. We will need it then."
Su Qiao didn't take this matter to heart, carefully took off all the papers and put them on the wooden door on the side.
"By the way, you look for a recipe for cement, and I'll look for a substitute and make an ancient version of cement."
When building a new house, Su Qiao doesn't want to use adobe bricks anymore. If she wants to build a house, she will build a brick house.
As for the method of burning bricks, she did know.
"Oh, we still need to burn some tiles out."
In fact, there were already glazed tiles in this era, but they were only used by dignitaries. Ordinary people could not afford them and did not dare to use them.
She won't go out of her way and just use ordinary tiles.
[Isn't it a bit too obvious what you are saying? Let's get the book out first, right?]
Don't she think it's a little strange that a country girl can't read a few Chinese characters but knows so many things?
"You didn't find it there?"
Su Qiao always thought that a simple encyclopedia of manufacturing industry would not be a big problem for 444.
[There is no similar book like this in the system at all, and you also require ancient texts and a sense of age, which would be even more troublesome. I think it would be faster than creating one yourself.]
"Look for it again. Didn't you have a friend in the system before? Ask it if it has one, and we can exchange it for something."
"If it doesn't work, I'll do it myself."
