Chapter 148: Quill Pen


In order to be able to resist those forces with malicious intentions towards him, Luo Yong has also seriously thought about his own development in recent days.

Although there is a lot of information in his space, Luo Yong believes that in this era, agriculture is the most fundamental, which is also the common understanding of most people.

With extremely low productivity and underdeveloped transportation in various places, once a famine occurs, the consequences will definitely be disastrous.

Therefore, before moving into other industries, it is best to improve the current agricultural production method first.

The general structure cannot be changed, but it is always possible to create a few convenient and easy-to-use tools.

Then Luo Yong immediately thought of the foot-operated threshing machine.

He wanted to do this last year, but was delayed by other things.

He couldn't delay it anymore this year.

He had to make this threshing machine before the summer harvest.

It just so happens that Hengyu's second son Hengzhi is also here in Xipo Village recently.

Hengzhi is not as good at management as his brother Henghuai.

He is a bit boring and likes to study.

Now Heng's car-making shop has become a high-ranking official.

The track also trained a group of technicians, so nothing happened.

Some time ago, he heard that Luo Yong was teaching geometry here, and he felt that it was very useful to him as soon as he heard it.

He then came over and lived in the yard next to Luo's house, with Feng Cobbler and his son.

As neighbors, Cobbler Feng and the others spend their days making boots.

Apart from attending classes in the Xu family guest house, Hengzhi also practices arithmetic or does carpentry here.

After all, they are both craftsmen, so the two parties can still chat for a while.

Luo didn't have a drawing of a foot-operated threshing machine on hand.

He could find related pictures in the space, but he couldn't show the picture directly to Hengzhi, so he had to take out a pen and paper to draw a picture. .

In this painting, Luo Yong was painted with a head and two heads.

I wasted several pieces of hemp paper and still couldn't draw a decent threshing machine.

It was still a bit difficult to draw this with a brush.

There were ready-made ballpoint pens and gel pens in the space, but he couldn't take them out and use them.

Speaking of this pen, it seems that ancient Chinese have always used brushes.

After being used for thousands of years, brush calligraphy is not only a carrier, but also developed into an art.

The West is relatively simple, and the threshold for reading is not that high.

The writing consists of just a few letters, which is much easier than Chinese characters.

The writing tools range from the reed pen at the beginning to the quill pen in the middle to the fountain pen and ballpoint pen later.

Easy to use tool.

There is nothing he can do about the fountain pen and ballpoint pen now.

He can definitely make a quill pen.

There are ready-made goose feathers at home.

During the Chinese New Year, I bought a goose and brought it back to eat.

The biggest feathers on the wings were eaten by the children at home.

They kept it, but now that they were tired of playing with it, they placed it casually on the windowsill.

Luo Yong picked a few feathers from the left wing of the big white goose.

After soaking, steaming and cleaning them, he stuck them one by one on the sand and roasted them.

After roasting and cooling, he could trim the goose feathers with scissors.

This quill trimming method has been seen by children who have used fountain pens in later generations.

The fountain pen originally evolved from the quill pen.

Luo Yong first used scissors to cut a bevel on the head of the goose feather, and then carefully cut it in the middle at the most prominent position of the bevel.

When using it, he only needed to dip it in ink, and then add what he wanted to express.

Just write and draw the content on the paper.

At that time in the 21st century, Luo Yong and his generation grew up in New China under the red flag.

They were accustomed to using pencils, pens, and ballpoint pens since they were young.

At that time, these pens were not available, so they made a quill pen to use. good.

Sometimes Luo Yong can't help but wonder if he is too influenced by the West.

However, the impact of historical development and cultural exchanges has never been one-sided.

For example, at this time, the Hu people learned various agricultural and handicraft techniques from the Han people, and the Han people also bought horses from the Hu people and learned how to raise and train horses.

Technology even wears their clothes and mimics their lifestyle habits.

This is not something to be ashamed of.

Learn from the strengths of others, let more things enter your life, use it for yourself, facilitate your life, develop your own country, and enrich your own culture.

This is a constantly developing and powerful society. process.

There were several very closed-off dynasties in Chinese history, but this closed-off did not appear from the beginning.

At least in the Tang Dynasty, no matter in terms of national politics or social customs, everyone was still full of curiosity and desire to explore foreign things.

They did not abandon all foreign things just because their country was strong.

Considered as trash.

When Luo Yong came up with this kind of goose quill pen, the gentlemen who lived in the Xu family guest house quickly discovered the convenience of this kind of writing instrument.

They could easily write the handwriting with the goose feather dipped in ink.

It's so small that you can't write a few sentences on paper, but with this kind of pen, you can almost write an entire article.

Moreover, using this kind of pen dipped in ink to do arithmetic problems on hemp paper will not make your hands covered with dust like using a gypsum blackboard before.

People who love cleanliness think that quill pens are easier to use than gypsum. .

The only troublesome thing is that if you want to dip the quill into more ink, it is best to put the ink into a small bottle first, and then put the tip of the quill into it and soak it, so that the required ink will be enough.

There is a lot, and if the ink ground on the same day is not used up, it will easily dry out if not stored properly.

In order to solve this problem, Luo Yong first asked Cui Weng from the pottery workshop to make a batch of small ink bottles with screw mouths.

The bottles were not made of rough pottery, but porcelain bottles.

Cui Weng and the others could also do something for these porcelain bottles, that is, It's not exquisite, and not many people buy it in their local area.

After placing the order with Cui Weng, Luo Yong worked with his disciples to figure out the bottle cap molds, and finally made a batch of ink bottle caps using his own Eucommia gum.

Because the production process was still very immature, many of the bottles and lids that were finally made did not match.

He managed to scrape together more than 20 of them.

Luo Yong sold these ink bottles in his own shop for 200 cents each.

It was all divided up on the same day.

In fact, this bottle costs 200 cents, mainly because of the value of the bottle cap.

At this time, Eucommia gum is quite expensive.

Hearing that His Majesty the Emperor was short of money recently and couldn't wait for the tax revenue during the summer harvest, he made a deal with the Persians and exchanged a batch of rubber-soled leather boots with them for a lot of real gold and silver.

Those boots The price is so high that it can scare people to death.

So relatively speaking, it seems very kind of Luo to use the 200-penny ink bottle here.

If you use it in the future, if the bottle is dropped or you don’t want it anymore, the bottle cap can be recycled and reused.

Collect more.

If the bottle cap is melted, you can make a pair of shoe soles.

Melting bottle caps to make the soles of your own shoes sounds a bit funny.

In this era, this is nothing at all.

At this time, everyone is still raising silkworms, reeling silk, kneading and weaving linen.

If the family eats rice, they have to grind it themselves. .

Now there are ink bottles, but you have to grind the ink yourself.

These wealthy men know how to enjoy life.

Since we have such a convenient bottle, we don’t have to worry about the ink drying up if we don’t use it up for the day. , they naturally don’t plan to grind the ink every day as before.

They can find someone to help them grind it, and grind it more at one time.

So the children in Xipo Village had a place to earn pocket money this spring.

When they had nothing to do, they went to the Xu family guest house to help those gentlemen grind ink.

After grinding enough for a bottle of ink, they not only earned a penny, but also often earned a lot of money.

Get some food.

Feng Gou'er from the village has been spending all day at the Xu family's guest house recently.

Not only does he grind ink, but he also helps wash the vegetables in the guest house.

Because he is willing to work and does not cause trouble, the Xu family never drives him away.

Xu Dalang's wife even I even gave him a few baths, but with his original state of mind, it was really not suitable for him to come in and out of this guest house.

Even if the host didn't mind, he still had to consider the guest's feelings.

When Luo Yong went over to give lectures every afternoon, Feng Gouer would sit in the corner and listen.

Luo Yong saw that he listened seriously, so he gave him a small blackboard.

As for plaster, it was everywhere in the guest house, so it was nothing.

Some gentlemen bought very valuable things and left them on the counter for everyone to take and use as they pleased.

Recently, many gentlemen have switched to quill pens, and the store has more gypsum.

Most of the baskets are installed on the counter, and few people will use them.

It is cheaper for Feng Gou'er, who has to get one every day.

Two pieces.

Luo Yong felt that Feng Gou'er's calculation ability was pretty good, better than that of his Wu Lang.

Goro: To be honest, among the brothers and sisters of the Luo family, it seems that Siniang is the only one who stands out at the moment.

That girl has a lot of enterprising spirit, and she might be able to achieve something in the future.

For example, the aunt and the two ladies are relatively satisfied with their current lives, and they don't seem to have any ambitions to strive for more.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with such a mentality, but most of the success in this world is achieved by people’s own efforts.

Those who have not fought for it have no chance.

Wulang's personality is very different from that of Siniang.

Siniang is the kind of person who would make people regard her as their opponent and leader.

There are very few people who can really have a heart-to-heart relationship with her and walk side by side with her.

Wulang is just the opposite.

This kid feels very easy to get close to.

Although he doesn't think he is a very capable person, he is still willing to make friends with him and is willing to help him and protect him when he encounters difficulties.

This This is probably Goro's strength.

And from Luo Yong's point of view, their Wulang is not weak at all.

He is similar in age to Siniang, and Siniang has always been a standout.

Is he really willing to play the image of a useless younger brother all the time?

He should be under some pressure.

Maybe he hasn't noticed it yet, but he doesn't want to be an incompetent person and doesn't want to make himself look too mediocre.

This is still a vague idea, maybe.

It is the driving force for his continuous growth in the future.

As for the two younger ones below, I still can’t tell clearly.

Those two have never suffered much hardship since they can remember.

They have no worries about food and clothing at home.

When they go out to play, they are always treated better than other children in the village.

Treat them better.

Such an environment is actually not conducive to growth.

Luo Yong only hopes that they will not grow crooked in the future.

Therefore, compared to Si Niang and Wu Lang, Luo Yong treats the two of them a little more harshly and controls them more.

I was drawing pictures in my hands, and while I was drawing, I thought of my brothers and sisters again.

In fact, no matter whether their future lives are ordinary or extraordinary, for Luo Yong, they are the most important people in the world. gd1806102:
