Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they had misunderstood and thought it was poison. However, neither Yan Baiwei nor Tang Shijin gave an explanation.
Wouldn't it be better to misunderstand first and then understand?
However, these shadow guards thought it was poison and drank it. They were indeed well trained!
There were ten tea bowls in total. The first group of people came up to drink, and the second group of people came up next.
Everyone in Tang Shijin poured the tea with his own hands and looked at it one by one. No problems were found so far.
It wasn't until all eighty-eight people had finished drinking that Tang Shijin said, "Okay, let's do this for now. Let's talk about it later."
People dispersed one after another.
Yan Baiwei said: "Don't you want to plant bamboo?"
Tang Shijin paused: "I forgot...forget it, don't worry, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
She held his hand: "Let's go to the medicine garden."
The people from Shunhe Hall have arrived, and Qi Yaoling is also there. Doctor Xu is looking at the medicines grown in the ground and marveling at them.
In fact, she only added these medicines to Lingquan a few times, first to ensure survival, and then three times later, but in their opinion, they were already of excellent quality and growing very well.
Tang Shijin took the opportunity to ask, "Do you want to come work here? Your wages will be doubled."
Doctor Xu raised his head speechlessly: "Boss Tang, are you being unkind..."
Tang Shijin said: "I heard that you are not the boss of Shunhe Hall. You are just a doctor. Why don't you come too? The owner of my medicine garden is the miracle doctor Xi Qi. Whether you want to study medicine or make money, I am here
Are they better than Shunhetang?"
Doctor Xu: "..."
He was really tempted.
Tang Shijin smiled and didn't try to persuade him again.
Although Big Eyed Lantern hasn't come back yet, he will come back sooner or later.
But even if he comes back, he will probably only treat difficult and complicated diseases, and he will not be able to treat minor illnesses and disasters.
Although Mrs. Xu is young, she has heard that her medical skills are good. If this place becomes lively in the future, having a doctor will save her from worries. When the time comes, she will just have a small door in front of her. It will be very convenient.
Sure enough, after planting the medicine, everyone in the group agreed and went back together to resign.
I heard that the boss of Shunhetang scolded her for several days afterwards...but there was nothing that could be done. Fortunately, he was also a doctor himself, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he closed the door. He would just have to be tired for a few days and start teaching new people again.
Tang Shijin went to see Li Yuan and his party again the next day.
The expressions of that group of people were completely different.
After all, what she poured was unadulterated spiritual spring water, and with a bit of unadulterated bamboo core tea, the effect would definitely be great.
Tang Shijin asked Li Yuan to pick out 60 people, and they were divided into groups of two or three. Each person was given a portion of medicine just like Renyi and the others had done, and each person was given two thousand silver. Then he sent them out, two
The task is to buy various seeds, good flower seeds, grain seeds, etc.
The next step is to record the customs and customs of various places. No matter what aspect, as long as it is "regional", write down everything.
Tang Shijin told them: "There is no need to rush, and there is no need to be in a hurry. It is just like traveling around the mountains and rivers. Stay in each place for a few days, calm down, open your eyes and take a good look, listen carefully and listen carefully. Remember what you find."
Dozens of people left that night.
Others stayed temporarily to do some work such as growing bamboo and making bamboo paper.
Yan Baiwei was amused: "If you use it this way, no matter how many people you use, it won't be enough. How about I give you a few more words?"
Tang Shijin said: "No need, I will ask you for it if you need it."
Yan Baiwei said: "You gave me all the banknotes, do you still have them? Are you going to build a house soon?"
"Of course." Mr. Tang was very confused about this kind of problem and glared at him and said, "I will have a lot of money at any time, okay?"
She glanced at him: "Do you want to use it? If you want to use it, I will settle the teahouse's debt now."
Yan Baiwei laughed.
He came over and whispered in her ear: "No, I won't use it anymore. God gave it to me and I can use it for a long time."
Sure enough, a gold mine was discovered in Tianxin Village, the extremely high-content Nuoda Gold Mine. If inflation was not considered, he would not have to worry about gold and silver in about ten years.
He explained it in detail, but Tang Shijin was still a little unhappy and turned his head: "Oh!"
Yan Baiwei laughed.
He stretched out his hand and turned her little face to him: "What's wrong? Xiao Jin'er, don't you like gold the most? Why are you unhappy?"
He smiled so gently.
She couldn't resist for a moment and said: "But my greatest ability is to make money. If you don't need my money... then what should I give you? It's so annoying! I would have known better not to go there! I would rather not
That’s a waste of tea!”
It was regarded as a treasure before, but turned into a piece of tea soon.
Yan Baiwei couldn't stop laughing.
He pressed her little head and held her in his arms, trying to coax her, but she laughed again before she could say anything.
He smiled and said to her: "Who said you can only make money? Xiao Jin'er has a lot of abilities! You are better than anything else if you are obedient by my side... Even if you give me troubles, they are nothing.
Sweet."
Tang Shijin: "..."
Big eyelashes, can you stop raising them like this?
The smile is so gentle and sweet, even the little white teeth are laughing. Who is this trying to charm?
She blushed and said, "I remembered something and I'll leave first."
She turned around and ran away.
Soon, the pictures of the three leaders Cheng were ordered. Yan Baiwei and Qi Yaoling had seen them all, settled on them, and then got busy in full swing.
The silkie chickens he had ordered before were also delivered. Tang Shijin gave them spiritual spring water to drink for three days, and then found two women from the village to raise them. He usually fed them grass seeds as much as possible, with only a small amount of chicken mixed with them.
Feed food.
As soon as they were released, more than a thousand of them were put in. I don't know if it was a problem with the Lingquan water, but they knew how to return to the nest.
Within a few days, the paper mill was also built.
Before covering it, Li Yuan and the others had already started making preparations, and all the utensils they had ordered before were delivered.
The process of making bamboo paper is not complicated.
Select young bamboo that is about to grow branches and leaves, cut it into seven-foot-long sections, then open a pond on the spot and fill it with water for leaching.
This process alone takes about a hundred days, and water must be introduced at any time during the process to ensure that it does not dry out.
Then take it out and "kill it", which is to beat it repeatedly with a wooden stick to wash off the thick shell and green skin. At this time, the bamboo stalk will look like ramie, with a silky and wadding feeling.
Then use lime to make an emulsion, mix it, and then cook it again.
The bamboo boiling pot is a special one, four feet square, with a barrel on top, and it needs to be cooked day and night for several days and nights.
After stopping the fire, take out the bamboo and hemp, rinse it in a clear water pond, then soak it with firewood ash water, put it in the pot, press it flat, and cover it with about an inch of plant ash.
After boiling, put it into another bucket, continue to rinse with plant ash, and rinse repeatedly until the bamboo and hemp rot naturally.
Then put it into the stone mortar and mash it into mud, pour it into the papermaking trough, and make the papermaking curtain as big as you want. The papermaking curtain is made of extremely smooth and delicate thin bamboo silk, because it is very soft, so
A wooden frame should be placed underneath to support it.
Put water in the papermaking trough and add the concoction made from peach and bamboo leaves to make the paper whiter.
Then put the paper-making curtain into the water, shake up the bamboo pulp with both hands, and spread it on the paper-making curtain. This process will determine the thickness of the paper. Light shaking will make it thinner, and heavy shaking will make it thicker.
When the paper-making curtain is lifted up, the water will pour back from the curtain holes into the paper-making trough, leaving behind bamboo pulp. Then when the curtain net is turned over, the remaining paper will fall on the wooden board, and so on, thousands of pieces of paper will be piled up.
To make a piece of paper, press it on a wooden board, tie it with a rope and twist it tightly, squeeze out the water, then use copper tweezers to lift the paper one by one and dry it.
When baking, two walls are built with adobe bricks to form an alley, and then the fire channel is covered with bricks at the bottom. Every few bricks are left empty. The fire burns from the mouth of the alley, and the heat will leak out from the cracks in the bricks.
It fills the entire lane and is very even. When the bricks in the entire lane are heated, stick the wet paper one by one to dry them.
It is worth mentioning that when Tang Shijin asked people to use small copper tweezers, he also added his own brand logo, a very small word. This can be regarded as following the tradition of the craftsman leaving his name.
It is also worth mentioning that when drying the paper, Tang Shijin added all the bamboo leaves in the space. The paper baked in this way will have a natural bamboo aroma, which is very elegant and very in line with the temperament of a literati.
