After breakfast, before the Mo family was about to leave for the county seat, Han Shuxian came over.
This time, Murong Qingyuan was faster than Mo Ziyuan. When Han Shuxian stepped into the room, he stood up and greeted: "Uncle is here."
Mo Tingyu: "Hurry up and sit in the room."
"Let me see if you have packed up? You should go out soon!" Han Shuxian said after entering the house.
"Everything is ready, and we are getting ready to go out." Song Nanzhi walked over and said.
"Then I came at the right time. Let's go together."
"Uncle, I'm not nervous, you don't have to send me off." Murong Qingyuan.
"I know you're not nervous. With your current scores, you'll have no problem passing the county exam. I happen to have to go to the county for something else, so I'm here to join you."
No matter what Han Shuxian said, Murong Qingyuan thanked him: "Thank you, uncle."
"Thank you. Just pack up and leave!"
"Let's go!" Mo Ziwan stepped forward and took Han Shuxian's hand and repeated.
It was just a way to stop by, mainly to take him to the exam and stop by the bookstore. On the way, Song Nanzhi was carrying the meals she had made early in the morning, and Mo Tingyu walked beside her.
Mo Ziwan pulled Han Shuxian, Mo Li pulled Mo Ziwan, and Murong Qingyuan walked on the other side of Han Shuxian.
"Don't panic when answering. You have enough time. You need to review the questions carefully and read all the questions before answering." Although I had said this before today, when the exam came, Han Shuxian still couldn't help but think again. Nag once.
Murong Qingyuan agreed seriously, "I will carefully review the questions and understand the meaning of the questions before answering. If I encounter something that I am not sure about during the exam, I will leave it until the end. I will do the ones I am sure of first and then check after finishing."
"Just remember it." Then he picked out some tips on how to answer questions.
As they approached the examination room, Han Shuxian stopped talking. When Han Shuxian stopped talking, Mo Ziyuan took over, "Brother Qingyuan, after you finish the exam, we can plant medicinal materials."
"good!"
"Brother Qingyuan, I'll help you plant it!" Li Li followed.
"good!"
Arriving at the entrance of the examination room, today's test delivery has come to an end. Song Nanzhi handed the food box in Murong Qingyuan's hand, "The meals are all ready, they are all light food, but they are just cold dishes, you will be fine Eat some now and I'll prepare something delicious for you in the evening."
Seeing that her grandma was more worried than she was about the exam, Mo Ziyuan comforted her, "Grandma, braised vegetables and mixed vegetables are only delicious if they are eaten cold. The water is hot. If you want to eat them hot, you can boil the braised beef with water." If you eat it with bubbles, it will be hot again."
Fortunately, Tong Sheng did not need to eat or sleep in the examination room, otherwise she would not be able to eat or sleep during the county examination these days.
When Murong Qingyuan entered the examination room, Song Nanzhi said: "Shu Xian, what else do you have to do?"
"I want to go to Brother Xie's bookstore." Han Shuxian replied.
"Then go and get busy. We're going back first." Song Nanzhi said and then called Mo Ziwan, "Wanwan, we're going back first."
"I want to go to the bookstore with my godfather."
"Your godfather has something to do, what are you going to do? Don't disturb your godfather."
Han Shuxian lowered his head and glanced at the baby who was holding his hand and said, "Auntie, just ask her to go with me. We will be back soon."
Han Shuxian had already spoken, so Song Nanzhi had no choice but to let her follow her godfather, "Then you must not disturb your godfather."
"Don't worry, grandma, I won't bother my godfather."
After they separated, Mo Ziwan asked, "Godfather, what are we going to do with Uncle Xie?"
"What do you think?" Han Shuxian asked without answering.
"Tell Uncle Xie that we have made paper. If he wants to buy paper in the future, he can buy it from us."
"It's almost the same. Although we haven't made it in large quantities, the paper has indeed been made. The main purpose of going today is to let him see our paper. Even if he buys our paper, it's not all about taking care of our business, but ours." Paper is better."
"This is called mutual benefit." Mo Ziyuan said with a smile.
replied.
"Yes, mutual benefit."
The two of them were walking on the street, looking at the people talking and laughing on the street and the dazzling array of merchandise. Han Shuxian lowered his head and asked, "Is there anything you want to buy?"
Probably because she is getting younger, her desire to shop has also decreased. Mo Ziyuan shook her head, "No."
"If there's anything you want to buy later, let me know."
"good."
Mo Ziwan didn't ask for them, but Han Shuxian took the initiative to buy some oranges for Mo Ziwan, "These are edible and can quench your thirst."
"Thank you godfather."
After arriving at Xie Wenhua's bookstore, he was chatting with others in the store when he saw Han Shuxian and Mo Ziwan coming, "Brother Han, Yuan Wan, just wait for me, I'll be fine soon."
Han Shuxian said: "Don't worry, we have nothing to do. After sending Qingyuan into the examination room, we were walking around without anything else. I happened to see you in the shop and came in to say hello."
"We are going to make some tables and chairs for reading in the shop. Today I hired someone to measure the dimensions and make a display shelf." Xie Wenhua said, and then ordered the two of them to be taken to the backyard to sit.
While Xie Wenhua was accompanying the craftsmen, Mo Ziyuan and Xie Wenhua were drinking tea and eating oranges in the backyard.
After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, Xie Wenhua came over and said, "Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long."
Mo Ziyuan raised her head and looked at Xie Wenhua, who was walking over, "Uncle Xie, come and eat the oranges, they're so sweet."
"Okay!" Xie Wenhua walked to the table where the two of them were sitting and sat down with a smile on his face.
After Xie Wenhua sat down, Mo Ziwan immediately handed the orange in her hand to Xie Wenhua's hand, "Uncle Xie, eat it."
"Thank you Wanwan."
Han Shuxian asked someone in the shop to use a knife to peel the oranges. After Xie Wenhua took them, he peeled off a piece and fed it to his mouth. Immediately, the unique sweetness of the orange filled his entire mouth, "It's so sweet!"
"Father *** bought it." Mo Ziwan didn't forget to show off.
"Yes, what your godfather buys is sweetness." Xie Wenhua said with a smile.
We joked a bit and waited for Xie Wenhua to finish eating the orange in his hand.
"Let me show you something." Han Shuxian said, opening the bamboo tube on the table and pulling out a white scroll.
"This is it?" Xie Wenhua never expected that he could make paper so quickly.
Han Shuxian slowly opened the paper roll and said, "How is the quality of this paper?"
"You didn't really make the paper, did you?" Xie Wenhua's face was full of surprise, how could this be possible? How could the paper be made in less than a month?
"Uncle Xie, we say everything is possible!" Mo Ziyuan said with a smile, confirming Xie Wenhua's guess.
"How is this possible? Although I don't know how the paper is made, I also know that it will take at least more than half a year to make this paper. How can you possibly make it in less than a month? ?" Even after listening to Mo Ziwan's words, Xie Wenhua still couldn't believe it.
"There happened to be a man in the village who had worked in a paper mill before. He knew how to make paper. After he told us how to make paper, we thought of some ways to save time, so we made this paper." Han Shuxian explained. .
After Han Shuxian finished explaining, Mo Ziwan also said, "Uncle Xie, our paper is more delicate and stronger!" There must be someone to praise such good paper! The godfather will definitely not be able to boast, and he will have to be the royal mother-in-law.
Mo Ziwan thought her godfather wouldn't praise him, but now she thought differently. After she finished speaking, Han Shuxian said: "Not only is the paper stronger, but the writing will not fade even if it gets wet, and the printed books will last longer."
Xie Wenhua had already taken the paper in Han Shuxian's hand. As Wan Wan said, the texture was fine and even. He pulled it at both ends. It was tough and indeed strong.
"How do you plan to price this paper?" How could you not choose such good paper? Without much thought, Xie Wenhua decided to change all the paper he would use in the future to the paper he had in hand now.
"Aren't we here to ask Brother Han? We have never done this business before. Brother Han, please help me out.
Let’s see what price is appropriate. Han Shuxian asked Xie Wenhua for advice, but after finishing speaking, he immediately added without waiting for Xie Wenhua's answer: "If Brother Xie thinks our paper is suitable in the future and wants to use our paper instead, we will always lower the price than the takeout price. I will definitely give Brother Xie the lowest price."
"I feel relieved because of your words." Xie Wenhua said with a relaxed look, and then talked about the price of the paper he bought, "Your paper is better than the best paper in my shop, and the price is naturally the same. It’s more expensive, even a hundred pieces of paper and forty cents is not expensive. Of course, I’m just basing it on the price I usually buy it at. The specific price will have to be calculated based on your cost.”
"If the papermaking materials used are more expensive and the production technology is more sophisticated, the price will definitely have to rise a little more."
"Thank you very much, brother, but I can't estimate the price yet. It's still in the trial production stage. When it is officially started, I will write down all the consumption of papermaking so that I can estimate the cost later. The main reason I came here today is to let you know Let me see how the paper looks like. If you approve it, we can go ahead and do it with confidence."
"Don't worry, the paper will definitely sell well." Xie Wenhua affirmed.
After coming out of Xie Wenhua's shop, the two of them became more confident, "Godfather, should we rebuild the workshop and then make paper, or should we produce in small quantities first." We can produce small quantities in any place.
"Let's first try to figure out how to quickly break large pieces of wood into pieces before we talk about anything else."
Well!
How could I have forgotten this important matter! This is a big project! Even if you don’t have to grind the wood into the same fine powder as now, it must at least be in small pieces. How do you do this?
Mo Ziyuan was running her brain at high speed, but in the end, all she could think of was to use a saw to cut the wood into small pieces. It was definitely unrealistic to cut all the wood into small pieces. Chop it into small pieces like wood.
Not to mention how small it can be split into small pieces, just finding someone to split it is a very time-consuming process.
