Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Chapter 85 Pencil

The two fooled around for a while, and Xue Lince sat back at the desk.

The pencils of later generations were all made of graphite and clay. Xue Lince always felt a little bald. He didn't know whether the current graphite mines were mined, whether they could be used by civilians, or what they were called now.

In the flash of lightning, Xue Lince thought of the ink sticks he usually used to write, which must have something to do with graphite.

"Madam, do you know what this ink ingot is made of?" Xue Lince looked at Tang Luoyu and asked with a mysterious face.

Tang Luoyu naturally knew, picked up the ink ingot on the table, shook it, and said strangely: "Are you talking about this? We have always used pine smoke ink at home. We take pine branches and burn them, put a bowl upside down on top, and collect the ash on it to make

It’s done.”

It sounds very expensive... Xue Lince looked at the ink ink in Tang Luoyu's hand and swallowed unconsciously.

But when I think about the Tang family's wealth, I feel relieved.

In the flash of lightning, Xue Lince saw the eyebrow pencil on the table. He used modern thinking when doing it, but the eyebrow pencil in ancient times was just graphite...

It really took no effort at all, and Xue Lince had a smile on his face.

Tang Luoyu suddenly saw him smiling like this and was a little surprised: "Why are you laughing suddenly?"

Xue Lince stepped forward and hugged Tang Luoyu: "I thought of a novel thing, and I need thrush stone to make it."

"Thrush stone?" Tang Luoyu was stunned. She didn't expect that she suddenly transferred from the previous thing to this one. "Do you want to make an eyebrow pencil? I think the one you are making now is easier to use."

"No, no, it's not about making an eyebrow pencil." Xue Lince pinched her cheek, "If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. I want to make a pen that I can use for painting."

Tang Luoyu didn't quite understand what he heard, but he didn't delve into it: "As for the thrush stone, just buy some. The price is not expensive."

Xue Lince nodded, picked up the brush and continued to write down the formula and the desired shape. He was not sure about the proportion of clay and graphite, so he specified it for the workers to test on their own.

He also wrote down the proportions and had to remember them clearly and bring them to him when the time comes.

Thinking that he would be able to use a pencil in a few days, Xue Lince felt a little itchy.

Within a few days, Uncle Wang came over with a small basket of cooked "ink sticks", but his face was a little surprised and uncomfortable.

"Uncle, this is what you want." Uncle Wang put the wicker basket on the table, "But the quality of this thing is really..."

When Xue Lince heard that Uncle Wang was coming, he immediately came to the door, opened the covering and looked at Uncle Wang with relief.

The shape is a cylinder as thick as chopsticks, about a palm long. Xue Lince picked up one and looked at it carefully. His hands were stained with some powder, then he picked up the rice paper on the table and wrapped it, and then used a knife to cut out a sharp point.

.

Just scratch the paper and a thin line will appear.

Xue Lince looked at it and saw that it said 30%, which was about 2B of pencils. Feeling the familiar feeling under his hands, he felt extremely happy.

Uncle Wang on the side was also a little dumbfounded. When he tested it himself before, he only thought that Xue Lince was going to develop new ink ingots. The ones they made did not dissolve well in water, so he thought it was a failure.

I came here cautiously, but I didn’t expect it to be used like this.

Xue Lince was obviously very satisfied. After a few swipes, a cute and naive kitten appeared on the paper. Tang Luoyu leaned over and looked at it: "Here, was this made of thrush stone a few days ago?"

"Yeah, look at this line," Xue Lince nodded, pointing to the lines on the rice paper, "it's much faster than drawing with an outline pen."

He added some shading to the kitten to make it look more three-dimensional: "And you can also control the shade, which is very convenient."

Uncle Wang breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that this thing was a failure, but he didn't expect that this was what his uncle wanted.

"This..." Tang Luoyu naturally understood. She thought about it carefully and thought about the business opportunities in it.

Xue Lince also understood what Tang Luoyu was thinking, so he continued to talk about the advantages of this writing: "It is not used with a brush. If you write this wrong, you can erase it. Just dip it with a steamed bun and it will be clean."

Tang Luoyu frowned when he heard this. Steamed buns are made of grain, so this would be a waste of grain.

"This ink stick is cheap and easy to carry." Xue Lince thought about whether it could be the same as the pencils in the future, but he gave up immediately. People nowadays don't seem to be able to accept this kind of writing method. In addition, there are grooves and

Kneading it into such thin strips felt like it was still a bit troublesome.

In this way, the advantage of pencils being cheap is lost.

"I'm afraid only some poor scholars will use it." Tang Luoyu sighed, "I'm afraid there's no way to make money."

Xue Lince put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her.

"Hiss... But it can have other uses!" Tang Luoyu looked at Xue Lince, her eyes bright, "This is of great benefit to my husband."

Xue Lince didn't know why and looked at her curiously.

"You will definitely pursue an official career in the future. If you promote this Mo Tiao while in office, I think you will be able to create a cultural background."

Xue Lince immediately understood what she meant. If he were to obtain an academic title, unless he was the number one scholar, he would probably be sent to a local government as a parent official. Then this ink strip would be useful.

"This, this is something I didn't expect." Xue Lince looked at Tang Luoyu in surprise. He didn't expect her to be so smart and quick. "I would like to thank you, madam."

"A family can benefit from everything, so why do you have to..." Tang Luoyu's cheeks turned slightly red after hearing what he said, "And Uncle Wang is still here."

Uncle Wang stood aside, feeling a little unable to stand up. He coughed lightly: "It's nothing, I'll go back to the workshop first."

Tang Luoyu nodded, and Uncle Wang left in a hurry.

The young couple became so bored that they looked as if no one else was around...

But thinking that they were newlyweds, I felt relieved.

I didn’t make too many pencils, I just burned some in the gap between firing the glass. After Xue Lince used them, I also saved a lot.

Xue Lince also showed it to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao was shocked when he learned about it and hurriedly asked for details. After all, this involved the national context. After hearing this, he felt very good. In addition, he felt sorry for his disciples and said that he would definitely help him when promoting it in the future.

.

After receiving Mr. Zhao's reply, Xue Lince was a little surprised, but now he can start designing the appearance that Tang Luoyu wanted.

It was very simple. In just a few nights, I had already designed the appearance of the cosmetics box. I also designed several appearances based on the grades Tang Luoyu mentioned before.

After all, he was a designer before, and his skills have not been lost during this time. He was very satisfied with the manuscript.

Tang Luoyu was on the side, picked it up and looked at it, and asked a little strangely: "What is this?"
