The stems of plants contain sugar, not only sugar cane and other sweets, almost all plant stems and leaves contain sugar, but the content is different that’s all, of which sugar cane is undoubtedly the highest sugar content, so it is only human Choose to make white sugar.

The rest of the herbs have less sugar content, and even taste with the tongue, you can’t feel the slightest sweetness. Therefore, most people think that these grass plants do not have sugar. In fact, these plants also have sugar, just Less content that’s all.

As for why it is soaked for a week to eliminate the sugar inside the papyrus, it is because the sugar will destroy the performance of the thick fiber of the inner stem and reduce the durability of the papyrus, so it must be removed because the sugar is soluble Water, but fiber is not soluble in water, so it needs to be soaked in water, so that the sugar can be removed without losing vital fibers.

This method is very ingenious and very cost-effective. After all, Egypt is close to the Nile River and the workshop is downstream of the Nile River. There is no shortage of water resources. Moreover, the water resources are quite sufficient to fully meet the needs of the workshop processing. .

Li An picked up a slice and placed it in front of Li Xiaolu’s eyes, said with a smile: “Maybe it’s sweet! Or, you try it and see what it tastes like.”

After finishing talking, let Li Xiaolu taste, the eyes of the Ottomans next to him were wide open, but the inner stem of papyrus was non-toxic, even if it was eaten, it was no big deal, so he was inconvenient to talk.

Li Xiaolu curiously looked towards Li An and asked, “Minister Li, is this thing really edible? Is it really sweet? You won’t lie to me!”

Li An nodded, let her taste it. In fact, whether the inner stem of this grass is sweet or something is asked. Anyway, Li An has n’t eaten, and I do n’t know what the taste is. Let Li Xiaolu taste it. At least let Li An know what it is.

In order to please Li An, Hao did not resist putting the inner stalk slice of papyrus into his mouth and chewed a few times, first showing a painful expression, and then showing a happy expression, to Li An laughed, opened the mouth and said: “It’s really sweet, Minister Li wants to try it.”

Looking at Li Xiaolu’s bitter and sweet expression, Li An always felt cheated, and when he saw the expression of the Ottomans behind him, Li An immediately understood that Li Xiaolu was frying himself, and the papyrus flakes must be Not tasty, for example, the taste is very offensive.

However, since Li Xiaolu has let himself try it, if Li An completely remains unmoved, it would be too boring, at least there must be a certain response.

“Okay, then I will try it.”

Li An intercepted a small section of thin slices and put it in his mouth, then chewed a bit, satisfied with the opened and mouth said: “Well, the taste is really good, so sweet!”

This scene surprised Li Xiaolu and the Ottomans behind him stared wide-eyed, because this is not true.

Li Xiaolu’s confusing frowns saying: “How can it be sweet? Is this one tasted by Minister Li sweet?”

After speaking, I took a large slice from Li An’s hand, took a section and put it in my mouth, chewed a few times at random, frowns saying: “How is it still bitter, why is it so.”

Looking at Li Xiaolu’s painful expression, Li An chuckled and took out a small slice from his hand, said with a smile: “Look at what this is, you only saw me stuffing the slice into my mouth, but I have seen I really ate the flakes, haha! “

“Oh, Minister Li is so smart that you have been deceived.”

Li Xiaolu not at all is angry, but thinks Li An is very smart, is a very interesting man, makes her very enamoured.

Ottoman’s men, seeing the situation look like this, suddenly sighed in relief. He is under a lot of pressure now, fearing that Li An will not be able to serve well, and that Li An is unhappy.

After soaking, the next process is arranging and thrashing, which is also a very important step and the most critical step. After this step, only drying is left, and after drying, the product is finished. It can be sold on the market.

Because this is a major process, there are the most artisans working, and the whole production site is full of noisy sounds, there are screams of the artisan ’s chief, and there are also various thrashing sounds.

Li An walked in and looked at it. There were many platforms like tables on the production site. The top of the platform was hard wood, which was the workbench for the craftsmen to beat the papyrus.

When Li An walked over, two craftsmen who cooperated with each other were placing papyrus flakes. They saw that they evenly spread a thick layer of gauze on the platform. Then, they arranged the papyrus flakes neatly. On thick gauze, arrange them into a tight square, then, continue to rotate 2 degrees, and arrange another layer on top of the sheet, so that the two layers of sheets can be tightly combined together.

This process is very simple, but the technical requirements are also relatively high, that is, they must be arranged closely, not leaked or overlapped, otherwise, the produced papyrus will be uneven, which will greatly affect The performance of papyrus.

After arranging it, 2 craftsmen checked it, and then covered it with a thick layer of gauze again very cautiously. After lightly compacting it with hands, the two picked up a big wooden hammer, the hammer was flat-headed, and The cross-sectional area is still relatively large.

The two craftsmen cooperated in division of labor. One person thumped first. After picking up the hammer, the other craftsman continued thumping, and then kept rotating like this. After they knew they were almost the same according to experience, they would stop the thumping and gently unlock A layer of gauze on top, see how the thin slices inside are beating.

If it is already qualified, it will be taken off, and then continue to make the next one, if it is not qualified, they will continue to beat until it is qualified, of course, if it is made into scrap, then they will be finished, not only It is possible to be scolded by fiercely, and it may be possible to be deducted from wages or even beaten up, because in this era, the lives of artisans are very worthless. In the eyes of many nobles, Craftsmen, like animals, can be abused at will, and they can be abused as much as they want without any responsibility.

Maybe there was a Beauty standing like Li Xiaolu standing next to him, the 2 craftsmen were a little distracted, and even after thrashing several times, they were not qualified, and even the paper was scrapped due to excessive force, which is a serious accident. The punishment is only because Li An is next to them, they are not good at swearing, so as not to affect it badly.

“Haha! It looks like I’m going to scrap a piece, it’s me that interferes with the craftsman!”

Li An said with a smile.

“Scrap is common, inevitable, inevitable, and has nothing to do with Minister Li.”

Ottoman’s men said quickly.

Li An laughed, opened the mouth and said: “I also want to give it a try, but the papyrus that I personally processed is owned by me, and I will take it back to be a memorial.”

“No problem, as long as Minister Li likes it, just like it.”

Ottoman’s men said politely.

Li An waved his hands and asked the two craftsmen to put down their tools and stand and watch.

“Xiaolu, let’s 2 come to make paper! I don’t know if you can move the wooden hammer.”

Li An said with a smile.

Li Xiaolu hurried to get the wooden hammer, lifted it up and tried it a few times, and felt that there was no problem, so he said, “Minister Li, I can, see, I can move the wooden hammer, the wood is not heavy at all. “

“Okay, since it’s not heavy, let’s get started! Let’s go step by step before finally thumping?”

Li An said to start laying thick gauze. Before laying, Li An deliberately washed the thick gauze with clean water. Only then can the best paper be made. It is not good to use dirty thick gauze.

After laying the thick gauze, Li An and Li Xiaolu laid the papyrus sheet together, because it was the first time to work, and no one gave the task, so they worked very hard on the 2 papyrus When it is thin, it is almost bent over, little by little alignment, as long as there is a slight gap and overlap, it is unqualified, and it must be revisited. Only in this way, the papyrus produced is the most qualified .

Of course, the papyrus produced in this way can be regarded as top grade, and in the actual production process, it will generally not be too high. After all, if it is too high, the output will be difficult to go up.

It takes a certain skill to arrange all the sheets together neatly, and this skill requires a long time to master. If you do n’t practice, it is difficult to arrange these sheets together.

One of the biggest problems is the problem of hand shaking. The first few have been neatly arranged, but as soon as the hand shakes, the hardly arranged sheets in front will be messed up, and then need to be rearranged. Of course, this It ’s because their requirements are too high. In fact, this so-called confusion is just a little touch, so that there is a little gap and overlap between the original neatly-seamed sheets. That ’s all. If the requirements are not high, completely It can be ignored, as long as you can make paper.

“It’s been a long time, but I haven’t even paved the first floor. It seems that this job is not so easy! Haha!”

Li An is having fun, which is quite interesting.

“Why do we always lay it out, should we get some glue and stick these sheets together.”

Li Xiaolu was anxious and said.

Li An said with a smile: “Glue, I ’m afraid it ’s not sticky, and, after that, after we beat it, the gauze on both sides and the flakes inside will be fuse together. Where can we make it? Eject the paper. “

“That’s right, it seems really troublesome.”

Li Xiaolu shook the head, seems very helpless.

Li An played around for a long time, and found that there was always something unsatisfactory, and looked towards the Ottomans next to him, and asked, “Why do I always get it wrong, what is the reason?”

Ottoman ’s men, of course, dare not tell the truth, and said in a perfunctory manner: “Minister Li is a person who does major events and should not come to do such small things. Such small things cannot be done by great characters.”

The words are very beautiful, and anyone who listens will be tempted, which makes Li An very comfortable.

“In this case, you need to find a person with good skills to help me arrange these slices, or there should be no gaps or overlap.”

Li An asked.

Ottomans heard this, nodded, and soon found the best skilled craftsmen, and let them arrange the papyrus slices neatly until the thick gauze was covered.

“Okay, Xiaolu, let’s beat, I will come first.”

Li An picked up the wooden hammer and hit it. His movements were pretty good.

Although Li Xiaolu is a woman, Western Europeans are inherently strong. They are also stress-free when they lift a wooden hammer. They look pretty good, and even have a different kind of beauty.

The craftsmen in the workshop are unable to bear to see Li Xiaolu’s thumping movements, and even if they are beaten, they are willing to do so.

After thrashing for dozens of times, Li An did n’t feel anything, even without gasping, and Li Xiaolu was different. After dozens of times, the tired sweat dripped and the body’s fragrance suddenly became It was even more intense, and made everyone around me drunk.

“Okay, it should be almost.”

Li An felt that the time of thumping was long enough, so he gently uncovered the thick gauze, and because the thumping was more intense, the gauze and the thin slices inside were stuck together, and they needed to be separated cautiously.

After spending a long time, Li An and Li Xiaolu finally removed the upper layer of gauze, but the effect of thumping was obviously not good, and it was not as good as ordinary craftsmen.

It’s no wonder, after all, Li An has just just started, and these craftsmen have been working here for a long time, the technology is naturally more skilled than Li An, it seems that it is very simple to use a wooden hammer, but the intensity inside is indeed It is difficult to grasp and requires frequent contact to be able to grasp it well.

When removing the thick gauze underneath, because he was not careful, Li An actually broke the papyrus that he worked so hard. It was originally a complete papyrus, but it turned out to be 3 4 sheets The shredded pieces of paper made Li An a little caught off guard and looked a little awkward.

However, Li An is a person who refuses to accept defeat. He will never take the initiative to admit defeat. Since the first one is not done well, then continue to manufacture. You can’t go back to commemorate those few broken pieces of paper! That’s too cold to mix, at least to make a whole paper.

Later, Li An continued to make a few more sheets, because Li Xiaolu could n’t move the big wooden hammer anymore, so the next few papyruses were beaten by Li An himself, but the craftsman helped them .

When manufacturing the second paper, it can be guaranteed that it will not be broken, and the effect of the paper in Chapter 2 will be better. The following papers are all qualified products, even better than ordinary craftsmen, which is enough to reflect Li An ‘S super learning ability, as long as you study hard, you will soon be able to surpass the ordinary person.
