Hehe!
He did not believe that he would not be recognized by the Mo Family with these three inventions!
After greeting Qin Shi Huang, Ying Chu brought the Mo family and the others to his Xingle Palace.
Along the way, Ying Chu explained the general process of the paper making technique.
Everyone from the Mo Family listened very seriously.
Although the paper making technique could not be considered a mechanism technique, there were still many similarities.
Other than that, physics, evaporating, chemistry, evaporating... all kinds of terms that they had never heard of were also very attractive to them.
Along the way, the few old men's opinions of Ying Chu changed greatly.
He was completely different from the rumors about him being arrogant, willful, and mischievous.
Along the way, his knowledge, speech, manners…were completely unlike what a child should have.
If it wasn't for his short stature, they would have thought that this child was their own age.
"We're here. This is the place.”
"Thank you."
Following Gongshu Jie's actions, the elders bowed to Ying Chu one by one before entering the workshop.
" This is the separation area for the raw materials that I mentioned earlier. The main method is to use the method of retting or steaming to degum the bamboo wadding that has been cut into bamboo wadding in the soda solution and then disperse it into fiber form…"
"Lye? Degum?"
Everyone had thought that with their abilities, they would be able to understand the pile of things that Ying Chu had mentioned on the way back to the workshop, but in the end…
Wasn't it a slap in the face?
Ying Chu had already known that they would be confused. He directly picked up a specially-made glass bottle with a thin mouth and handed it to them.
"This is a corrosive chemical!”
Upon hearing that it was corrosive, the few old men who were about to open the bottle were stunned.
They hurriedly closed the lid and did not dare to move.
Did he have to be so scary?
They had just arrived and they were already giving them such a terrifying thing.
Also, didn't they say that it was a type of paper that could be used for writing?
Why did he use poison?
That's right.
In their eyes, this corrosive substance was poison!
To play with poison at such a young age, this child…was really unexpected.
"Not only can it be used to make paper, but it can also be used in the chemical industry to make Formic acid, Oxalic acid, Borax…In the textile and dyeing industry, it can be used as a desizing agent, scouring agent, and mercerizing agent for cotton cloth…It can also be used in the smelting industry, instrument industry, and the glue industry!”
"In addition, it is also widely used in the industries of porcelain, medicine, cosmetics, leather, paint, pesticide, glass, and so on.”
Ying Chu explained in great detail because he would have to work with the Mo Family in the future.
Because of this, she missed the stunned looks of the crowd.
How could a corrosive solution be so useful?
They found it hard to understand.
"Alright, that's how it is. There's nothing more to say. Next, I'll take you to see the unglued fiber!”
Alright.
It was another incomprehensible word.
"What some people are doing now is beating. The intention is to cut and pound the fibers in their hands, and then turn the fibers into pulp.”
“……”
As they walked past the houses and the other party explained in detail, the elders of the Mo family felt that they were inexperienced.
After browsing through the entire process of making paper, everyone had some understanding of the common things, but they had never seen any other strange things.
However, this didn't stop everyone from admiring Ying Chu.
The Mohist school was no longer the same as the Mohist school.
Their advanced academic thinking was not inherited too much. Instead, their research on logic, mathematics, optical science, mechanics, and other disciplines was inherited and developed quite a bit.
Therefore, although they had never seen many of the things Ying Chu said before, they could roughly understand them from his detailed explanation.
But even so…
When they really saw the piles of bamboo wadding turning into pure white paper, they still felt incredulous.
"This…is the paper that can be written on?”
Gongshu Jie gently picked up a piece of paper.
The weight was as light as a feather, so he did not dare to exert any strength.
Ying Chu's expression didn't change at all.
Who wouldn't be curious when they saw something new for the first time?
"That's right. If you're interested, why don't you try writing something?”
As he spoke, he ordered his men to prepare the documents, brush, ink, and paper.
Gongshu Jie did not stand on ceremony when he saw this.
He picked up the pen and began to carefully write on it.
It had to be said that the words written on paper were clearer and more magnificent than those written on bamboo slips.
Coupled with the smooth feel of the pen and the fact that it did not exaggerate, it was the first time Gongshu Jie wrote so comfortably.
"Good, if this item is mass-produced, the people of the entire country will benefit from it, especially those literate scholars. I'm afraid that they will treat Young Master Chu as a noble!”
"Is it really that useful? Let me try too!"
An old Daoist with a long beard impatiently snatched the brush from Gongshu Jie's hand and began to write.
Very quickly.
When he stopped writing and looked at Ying Chu again, his eyes were like a hungry wolf looking at meat.
"Elder, how do you feel?"
"It's indeed amazing!"
Although he didn't want to admit it, it was the truth!
Seeing this, the others also started writing.
Looking at their useless looks, Gongshu Jie immediately took two steps to the side.
It was as if he was afraid that others would find out that they knew each other.
After a short while, the few of them put down their pens and looked at Ying Chu with the same gaze as the last person.
Ying Chu was quite satisfied with this situation.
However…
Not enough!
This was his first meeting with the Mo Family.
Even if his paper-making skills caught the attention of these people, they would only treat him as a talented junior.
This was not what he wanted.
Now that the Mo Family did not have any tycoons, if he did not take this opportunity to take the entire Mo Family into his pocket, he would be letting down the opportunity that the heavens had given him!
"Other than the art of making paper, I have also specially designed and improved the art of making wine. I wonder if any of you are still interested?”
"Wine brewing technique?"
A monk dressed in a gray shirt heard this and his eyes lit up.
"Alright, alright. Please lead the way, Young Master Chu!”
He had drunk a lot of good wine.
Of course, he had also drunk a lot of his own improved wine.
However, this was the first time he heard that someone else had also improved the wine brewing technique.
With his ability to create the paper making technique, even though he was a child, he still had some anticipation.
"Alright, this way please."
Ying Chu could tell from the other party's attitude.
This elder must be an alcoholic.
This was just right.
He had absolute confidence in brewing wine.
After all, the current wine-making technique was not qualified to be compared to the wine-making technique thousands of years later.
Let's talk about the differences in types first. After a thousand years, there were countless types of wine. In general, there were three categories: white wine, beer, and red wine. There were also various fruit wines.
However, Great Qin's wine was extremely simple. It was usually made from grains, and the commoners had grown rice grains from the start, so the earliest wine they drank was rice wine.
In addition, the alcohol content of the wine was also very different. The alcohol in Qin was only about 10 degrees, barely the same as beer.
However, after 1,000 years, alcohol could easily reach more than 50 degrees Celsius. People with low alcohol tolerance could not drink a few glasses at all, and it was common for them to be knocked out.
Of course, the biggest difference was the quality of the wine.
Because of the difference in the brewing level of the Qin country and the single raw materials, the wine brewed was not only low in alcohol content, but even the color was not as clear as the later generations.
The term "turbid wine" was often seen in poems, which referred to the reason why there were many dregs in the wine.
However, a thousand years later, with the development of the times, the quality of wine became better and better. With the continuous development of wine-making technology, the methods were also diverse, and the quality of the wine brewed was also vastly different.
How could Ying Chu lose to an ancient man when he had the recipe for brewing wine from a thousand years later?
Another workshop that was a few rows away from the paper workshop soon appeared in front of everyone.
Even though Ying Chu's wine was not fully brewed, the fragrance of the wine had already lingered in the surroundings.
Ying Chu didn't give a detailed introduction to the wine brewing technique like he did to the paper making technique.
After all, everyone understood.
In ancient times, although not every household knew how to brew wine, they basically had a certain understanding of it.
As for the Mo family, with that monk around, they would definitely be more proficient in brewing wine.
raw materials, soaking, initial steaming, braising, re-steaming, cooling, adding yeast, packing and cultivating bacteria, mixing in a tank, barrel-filling for fermentation, retorting, and finally producing a finished wine!
However…
Even though the production process was almost the same, everyone, including the monk, still revealed incredulous expressions.
So there were so many raw materials for brewing wine?
It turned out that after the rice grains and other raw materials were fermented, there was no need to use a mud pump to send them to the retort barrel, still, and still tower.
It turned out that the finished wine could be poured back into the new fermented grains, fermented again, and then distilled again to brew a more refined wine.
So…
In the end, if not for Gongshu Jie, the monk would have jumped into the wine barrel.
"Because it hasn't been long, the taste of this wine hasn't been fully displayed yet. After the wine is finished, I'll definitely give you a few jars!”
"Then it's settled!"
Ying Chu had just finished speaking when the monk immediately added,""I am Gui Qu, waiting for Young Master's good wine!”
This was the first elder to introduce himself in front of Ying Chu after Gongshu Jie.
Therefore, Ying Chu smiled at him and said," Of course. My Young Master Chu has always kept his word!"”
"Haha, since ancient times, heroes come from the young. Although Young Master is young, his future is limitless!”
Gui Qu's words came from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, it was also because of the wine.
He was good at wine and brewing wine.
However, the wine brewed by Ying Chu was the best he had ever seen.
Although Ying Chu said that the wine was not ready yet, he could feel that the wine was extraordinary just from the few mouthfuls he had just drunk.
The aftertaste was long, the aroma was complex, and the wine was full...
The taste was truly unforgettable!
Other than that, he could see that Ying Chu had brewed many different types of wine.
Some had a mellow fragrance, some had the fragrance of wheat sprout and hop, and some had a rich fruity fragrance. The smell was refreshing.
Ying Chu couldn't deny his praise.
However, the other elders of the Mo family nodded silently.
It was obvious that they approved of Ying Chu's achievements in this aspect.
Although Ying Chu was very happy, he didn't show it on his face.
Next, he had something big to do!
No matter what, he had to give the elders of the Mo Family an unforgettable first impression!
"Everyone has already seen this paper-making technique and the improved wine-making technique, but I recently had a new idea. I wonder if everyone can help me take a look?”
"Hmm?"
Why was it not over yet?
Everyone from the Mo family, led by Gongshu Jie, was stunned.
Just the Paper Making Technique alone had already made everyone's impression of this child soar.
In the end, there was an improved wine brewing technique.
Although they were not passionate about brewing wine, they still understood what they should know.
Ying Chu's improved wine brewing technique was obviously extraordinary.
After all, if even Gui Qu was defeated, then this group of people was even less worth mentioning.
However, how could there be more?
Was all this really thought up by a child?
The moment this suspicion arose, everyone quickly threw it to the back of their minds.
Based on his familiarity with the art of making paper and brewing wine, no one else could think of it.
"May I know what Young Master Chu has come up with this time?”
"Movable-type printing!"
"Movable-type printing?"
Such a brainless name was really puzzling.
"Young Master, why don't you tell me what use this thing has?”The long-bearded daoist asked.
"Movable-type printing is a new thing that I came up with to write on paper.”
" It's mainly done by using clay to make a blank with the same specifications. One end is engraved with a single word in reverse. The height of the word is as thick as the edge of the copper coin. The clay is burned with fire to make a single movable type..."
After listening to his explanation, everyone understood what he was going to do.
But the problem was…
What did this have to do with writing?
Ying Chu asked with a smile as he looked at everyone's confused expressions.
"Everyone, what do you think will happen if we pick out the needed movable characters and place them into the frame one by one. Once the frame is filled, it will become a page. Then, we will bake it with fire, wait for the medicine to melt slightly, and flatten the words with a flat plate. After the medicine has cooled and solidified, what will happen when the paper is removed?”
"Then wouldn't it become a piece of paper stained with ink?”
"It has become a piece of paper with words, but what about the contents on the paper? I just said that I need to pick up the movable type, so…if I need the words from the historical records, what will it become?”
"Hiss-"
Before the others could react, Gongshu Jie and another elder who had never spoken before gasped.
What would it become?
What do you think will happen if the historical books are printed?
That was a treasure that was much more precious than the bamboo slips!
"I call this paper that is filled with words a book. When the paper is bound into a book, it becomes a book!”
"Good! Good! Young Master, you're so kind. I thank you on behalf of all the scholars in the world!”
This scholar who had never spoken before finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
As the bow ended, everyone could see his reddened eyes.
