Chapter 88 Trying to Make Paper
She deliberately slowed down, and saw Ma's face look troubled, and said: "Aunt, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I really can't help! I just asked, and several women nearby said that we are here Without outsiders, your child wouldn’t have come to our place!”
Ms. Chen looked very displeased and said, "Isn't An Gaolin's nephew a salesman? He walks around the streets, let him ask!"
Ma's face suddenly grew long, "Don't you think I didn't expect it? I just went to their house, and the two of them were unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. When I heard that they wanted to help me find someone, they didn't even open the door. Come on, I even threatened them and they didn’t take it to heart. It’s obvious that they have toughened their wings and don’t take me as an aunt in their eyes. Auntie, please stop poking at my heart!”
Ms. Chen couldn't help but rolled his eyes at her, "It's useless! The two juniors can't handle it, so what else can you expect? If I say they are disobedient, they should be severely punished."
"Okay! Why are you talking so much now? The most important thing is to find someone!" Old Man Qian interrupted Chen's complaint.
Mrs. Chen was embarrassed and angry, "Why are you angry at me? If you want to blame that **** Tian! If you insist on forcing him away, that kid will definitely make our whole family angry! When we find him That kid must coax him back, even if he makes Tian kneel down and kowtow to him for the sake of Awen’s future!”
Ms. Chen was so angry that she couldn't think of anything to say. Old Man Qian glared at her fiercely. Seeing that Mr. Ma looked impatient and didn't even listen to what Mr. Chen was saying, he quickly changed the subject, "Go and ask again!"
Ma murmured reluctantly: "Aunt, you said before that you would let Yongren study with Awen. Does this still count?"
Mrs. Chen immediately glared, "Why are you mentioning this matter now? If Awen's house can't try it, why would your son bother with Awen?"
When Ma thought about it, it was indeed true, so he could only ignore it for the time being, "Then don't forget it!"
“Let’s go, let’s help find someone!” Chen urged impatiently, and the three of them immediately ran towards the main street.
Jiang Ning followed them leisurely, and when they reached the main street, she realized that the Qian family had really mobilized a lot of people to look for Tian Feng. Wherever she went, she would meet two or three people asking questions, and some people stopped her.
Jiang Ning frowned and turned away without wanting to answer the questioner.
The people from Qianjiazhuang were stunned for a moment, with an unhappy look on their faces, "Who are you! Why are you looking at people with your nostrils in the air if you're just asking about something?"
“Do you think she will know?” another guessed.
The two looked at each other and immediately followed Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning realized that someone was following him when he walked out of the town. He couldn't help but sneer and speed up towards the banyan tree village. As soon as he entered the village, he saw a bunch of old men and old ladies sitting under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village, chatting in the sun while doing work.
In the past, Jiang Ning always took a detour when seeing them, but now he deliberately stepped forward to say hello.
The group of people were all shocked.
Liu, the village chief’s daughter-in-law, asked in surprise: “Datou mother, are you going to town again? You’re not going to the market today!”
Jiang Ning gave a big smile and said, "I got some things and went to the town. By the way, I just saw the Qian family in the town."
A group of people immediately looked at her gossiping. Ms. Liu heard the Gao Qian family frowning subconsciously, "They didn't bother you, did they?"
Ever since Qian robbed the key from her house and caused so many troubles, Mrs. Liu has not had a good impression of anyone named Qian.
Jiang Ning shook his head, "Not only the Qian family, but also a lot of people from Qianjiazhuang seemed to be here. They said they were looking for them. Even I was stopped by them for questioning. Humph! I was too lazy to pay attention to them. They asked me to talk about the Qian family. It's definitely not a good thing to maintain such a top-notch Qian's Village! Uncles and aunties, please be careful, they can still get into our village if you don't protect it!"
Liu's face suddenly changed and she was furious, "How dare they! Let's beat each one out!"
“Yes! Let them see that our people in Rongshu Village are not easy to bully!” The old man and lady beside him immediately agreed. Jiang Ning achieved his goal, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and left.
After a while, the two people following Jiang Ning poked their heads out and looked at each other, "Which village is this?"
The other person shook his head and said, "I don't know. Why don't you go up and ask?"
Anyway, there are so many people at the entrance of the village, so just ask anyone.
The two men approached Liu and others, and as soon as they said that they were from Qianjiazhuang, they were immediately hostile to everyone.
The two of them felt cold, hugging each other and retreating, "You, you, you, you, don't mess around! We are good people!"
Ms. Liu sneered, "A good person? How can Qianjiazhuang protect even the scum of the Qian family? Get lost! If you dare to step into our Banyan Village again, I will make your brains explode!"
Only when they heard the word "Rongshu Village" did they understand why Jiang Ning didn't talk to them. They ran out of the village in fear. They didn't sit down on the ground until they were sure that no one was catching up. They took turns scolding the old man Qian and his family. head.
After Jiang Ning returned, he first went to the workshop to explain the situation. Then he returned home and began to think about how to make paper. He remembered that the paper used by the ancients was soaked in bark to soften it and then beaten repeatedly and soaked in lime water. After many times, Work until all the bark becomes a paste, and then continue pounding. The more pounded the better.
Although she knew the general steps, the actual operation was definitely not that easy, and the selection of raw materials was also a science. She had no idea which kind of vegetable skin was most suitable.
In the end, I simply took out some bark from all kinds of trees, including straw and wheat straw. I threw all these things in bundles into the creek to soak, and waited for ten days and a half before going over to see the situation.
The villagers thought she was working on something good, but when they took a closer look, their brows were almost knotted.
Jiang Ning couldn't tell what she was doing before the things were made, so rumors spread in Rongshu Village that Jiang was mentally abnormal.
When Mrs. Zhou heard the news, she hurriedly brought her two children to see her. They met Mr. Zhang on the road. They looked at each other, understood each other's thoughts instantly, and walked away together.
Jiang Ning didn't expect so many people to come to her, so she led them into the house suspiciously.
Zhang looked her up and down, confused, "It looks fine! Why is it not normal?"
Jiang Ning: “??????”
Zhou had a worried look on her face, "Sister-in-law, has something happened to you? Why do people in the village say you are mentally abnormal? You also said you were playing with tree bark when you were free. No matter how I heard it, I felt something was wrong."
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then he held his stomach and laughed until tears almost came out.
When Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhou saw it, they became even more worried.
Jiang Ning calmed down and explained: "I just wanted to make some gadgets, but I didn't know what materials were suitable, so I just tried them all. I didn't expect that the people in the village would see me like this, hahaha."
"You're still laughing!" Mrs. Zhou was speechless. "Did you know that my mother is also worried, but my second uncle can't be away from me for a long time, so he can only ask someone to come and talk to me."
As he spoke, Mr. Zhou looked at Yang Fugui, who was playing with Yang Laigui, with a flash of worry in his eyes.
