Chapter 380: Copy!
Chapter 380: Copying!
"First, we arrange the bamboos into the shape we want to make, and then lay the cotton cloth neatly on top."
"Be sure to note that the cotton here cannot have any wrinkles. It must be very neat!"
"Of course, when taking this step, we can cooperate with each other to ensure that nothing like what I mentioned will happen!"
"The last step is to drive all the nails into the bamboo!"
While saying this, Xu Wen kept playing with the bamboos in his hands.
At the beginning, the overall shape was rectangular, which was really no different from a photo frame.
As the cotton cloth is covered on it, the entire "photo frame" seems to be covered with a layer of gauze. Only some light can be vaguely seen through the holes in the cotton cloth.
At this time, the entire monkey group finally understood why Xu Wen must emphasize that the size of the cotton cloth can only be larger than the "photo frame" and cannot be smaller than the "photo frame".
To be honest, in order to allow the entire cotton cloth to completely wrap the bamboo and form a relatively flat state, this is the only way.
As the nails are driven in, both bamboo and cotton appear to be one piece.
I have to say that Xu Wen's hands are really very good. Just relying on his own operation, those cotton cloths seemed to have been ironed, without any wrinkles at all.
Moreover, the whole formed a shape similar to a box, except that the bottom of this "box" was made of cotton!
"Just follow the demonstration I just gave."
"You must remember the two key points I just mentioned. One is to make these parts completely become a whole."
"Another point is to ensure the smoothness of the entire cotton fabric!"
After saying this, without any prompting from Xu Wen, the entire monkey group started making their own products.
And Xu Wen once again acted as a quality inspector, constantly walking around among the monkeys!
"Isn't this just a picture frame?"
"In my opinion, this should be a sieve or something!"
"Seeing this scene, why does it make me feel like I am making soy milk? This thing is very important in the process of making soy milk!"
Seeing the tool gradually taking shape in the hands of the monkey group, everyone in the live broadcast room continued to discuss it.
To be honest, this thing is just a sieve, and it is not unreasonable to say that it is no different from making soy milk.
However, for making soy milk, only the filtered juice is ultimately used.
However, for making paper, the only thing that can be used in the end is the residue left on the cotton cloth.
"Boss, is this okay with you?"
In just ten minutes, almost every monkey completed their own creation.
However, perhaps because he was afraid that his work would be unqualified, he did not dare to let Xu Wen inspect it.
"It looks pretty good like this!"
After inspection, Xu Wen was surprised to find that the entire monkey group had achieved the two key points he just mentioned.
Originally, he had already made plans to rework.
"The next step is the most important step in the entire process of making paper!"
Looking at the fully formed tools, Xu Wen couldn't help but feel excited.
To be honest, after so much preparation, isn’t what we are waiting for the next step?
"Boss, just tell us what we need to do next!"
Seeing Xu Wen's expression, the monkeys seemed to be infected, and they also had a feeling of great expectation.
"To be honest, the next step is very simple to say the simplest, but also somewhat difficult to say complex. It is mainly a process of practice making perfect."
"To put it simply, this step can be called "copying"!"
"To put it in simpler terms, it is to use this tool made by the sect to fish out all the pulp in the water."
"In the whole process, the most difficult thing is how to make the pulp evenly distributed on top of our tools, so that one side is not thick and the other is thin!"
After saying this, Xu Wen gave the monkeys a certain amount of time to digest the information he provided as much as possible.
"Let's do it this way. I'll demonstrate it to you as it was before!"
Then Xu Wen picked up a "photo frame" and quickly came to the edge of the pond.
"Remember, before fishing out the pulp, you must stir the entire pond so that the pulp settled at the bottom can fully spread throughout the pond."
"Then we put our tools vertically into the pond and went as deep as possible."
"Then, slowly move the tool, and in the process, gradually return to a horizontal state."
"Finally, slowly lift the tool out. If it is too fast, the pulp that has adhered to the cotton cloth will be affected by the water pressure and appear uneven."
"When the tool is slightly exposed to the water, you can use the surface of the water to gently shake it a few times to make simple adjustments to some imperfections."
"The tools you fish out only need to be placed next to the stove for final drying!"
As Xu Wen finished speaking, the "photo frame" in his hand gradually emerged from the water.
The monkeys could clearly see that the originally empty cotton cloth was now completely covered with some very soft-looking scum.
If they didn't know what raw materials these slags were made from, they probably wouldn't have believed that most of these things that looked like they would break with just a slight twist were made of bamboo and trees.
"The layer above this is what we call paper."
"It's just that they are still in a fluffy state and are not dry."
"After drying, these floc-like things will be tightly combined to form a complete whole!"
Looking at the curious eyes of the monkeys, Xu Wen kept introducing.
Moreover, what surprised the whole group of monkeys was that the debris on the cotton cloth was completely flat, and it was impossible to tell which side was more and which was less!
"Boss, let me give it a try!"
After watching Xu Wen's demonstration, Hou Da's heart was once again filled with inflated self-confidence.
