Chapter 110 Watch out for dust
Wen and Bai looked back in confusion.
"There is one thing I want to remind you of. The process of grinding into ash cannot be done in a closed space!
It’s best to do it outdoors, where there’s running water. Don’t rush to work, find a good site first, and see which cross-yard is more suitable for this condition.”
After saying that, he thought for a while, and seeing Qingyu standing silently beside him, he said,
"Qingyu, take them to the second gate first and wait for Qing'er. Let Qing'er help find a place.
Remember, it is best to be far away from the warehouse and in a place with flowing water.
Especially remember to find the clay pots to store the carbon powder.”
Wang Jinyi found that there seemed to be too much to tell them, so how do you explain to them the danger of dust being flammable and explosive? This matter is really not easy to explain.
Wang Bei came to answer the call.
"Miss, I know that these dusts are most likely to cause fireballs.
I remember when I was a child, when people used water wheels to grind rice and flour in the village, the mills were built on or beside the stream, and the mills had to have doors on both sides, and only half of the wall could be built on the side facing the stream.
The elders warned their children not to play in the mill, saying it was dangerous and could easily cause a fireball.
It turns out that I was worrying about nothing.
Mills and grain crops are almost born together, and people have long discovered the horror of dust. Once a large amount of dust accumulates, once the concentration reaches a certain level, it will be extremely dangerous!
"Yes! There must be water, a place with running water, a laundry room! The yard of the laundry room at home is probably the best place to do this."
"Go say hello to Qing'er and tell her that we would like to use the laundry yard."
Wang Jinyi looked at the two people carrying the charcoal blocks and followed Qingyu to the courtyard of the laundry room.
He rolled up the several pages of paper written by Wang Jinlai and tucked them under his arm, then walked through the Begonia Gate back to his west room and began the arduous task of practicing calligraphy.
In order not to drag down the Wang family, the writing must at least not be too bad, or at least acceptable.
In my previous life, my mother sent me to a calligraphy class. The teacher said that learning calligraphy is about practicing your ability to calm down.
Unless a child is born to be suitable for calligraphy, it is best to wait until his mind is calm before practicing calligraphy. Otherwise, the burning little universe will be the exact opposite of our ancestors' concentration and invigoration, and it will be difficult to persist even if you start.
Practicing calligraphy requires time and persistence.
Those who say they can become calligraphers in a few days are all gods.
In the past, I just couldn't calm down. Now I'm not young anymore. Yes! The age of the two lives combined is indeed not young. I'm mentally mature, and there's still time.
I thought and wrote at the same time, and after an hour of copying the "Three Character Classic", it was over.
Qingyuhui came back fluttering.
Wang Jinyi felt that he had no other choice. Now it was in the early stages and he could only do this. It was a purely handmade workshop and he didn't have any suitable equipment. The conditions were very simple!
"Qingyu, what stage have we reached now?"
"Miss, it's time to sift. The sieve is so fine that it seems that it can't be completed in one day. It will probably take at least two days to complete."
"Okay, tell them that we won't work today, but will continue tomorrow afternoon. Then have the people who buy things at home go out and buy some more pottery jars. Also buy some clay. You don't need to buy too much, just a little bit of each type of clay you know."
The nurse was doing needlework while saying,
"You still need to buy clay. Miss, there is plenty of clay on the mountain at the Dongshan kiln. You can ask someone to dig some up. Do you still need money to buy it?"
Wang Jinyi turned around and leaned on the back of the chair and asked:
"Nurse, can we dig up the clay as we please? Does the mountain belong to no one?"
"Oh, I haven't heard of this. I don't know if there is an owner. Miss, you can ask someone to find out. If there is an owner, you really can't dig casually."
Wang Jinyi leaned his head against the back of the chair. As it involved going out of the house to do some business, he had to ask his mother for instructions before proceeding to the next step. Thinking that Wen Bai could not leave the city due to his identity, this matter would have to be handled by Wang Jinlai and Wang Beilai.
It does need to be examined, after all, this clay is the raw material.
"Qingyu, go deliver the letter first, come back and wash up, and then when you see Zhuyu, ask her to come back..."
Zhu Yu came in with a list of personnel to be inspected.
"Miss, I heard you looking for me outside the door."
Wang Jinyi thought that this meant Zhu Yu had arrived. This was a good sign.
So, he told her that he wanted Wang Jinlai to bring Wang Beilai to Dongshan outside the city tomorrow to see if there was any clay, and asked her to ask her mother for advice.
Before Wang Jinyi finished explaining, Zhu Yu spoke up.
"Miss, you have to talk to Madam. You have to report before leaving the city. You can't be so casual!"
Is that so? Wang Jinyi thought.
After a long time of demonstrating to myself, the silly little guy was eager to squeeze out from the door of my heart, and then walked out with a leisurely step, rolling his eyes again, indicating that he was silly.
Wang Jinyi shuddered! That's right! This is an era where information dissemination is slow and personnel management is extremely strict. I actually forgot about territorial jurisdiction.
"The nanny's thing is outside the city. Do I need to report it?"
"Miss, that place seems to be under the jurisdiction of Nanshan County."
"How far is that?"
"It seems to be about 100 miles away. It will take at least two days to get back. We have to report it once we leave the jurisdiction. However, I don't know what to do. You have to ask my wife."
"Miss, you can't be careless about government affairs."
Everyone in the room felt that they should be cautious when going out, after all, it was too far! They had to walk more than a hundred miles.
Wang Jinyi calculated secretly, it was about 50 kilometers, driving with one foot on the accelerator, the distance from the east to the west of the city by subway, a few yuan of ticket price can be done, well, too far! Too far for this era! After all, the means of transportation are different.
He waved Zhu Yu away and asked Qingyu to inform Wen Bai and the others to rest.
Wang Jinyi thought for a moment and said to the nurse,
"Nanny, can you make a few of these cloth masks?"
Wang Jinyi simply sketched a triangular face towel and a drawstring neck collar on the paper.
The nurse looked up and said slowly:
"What is this? What's the point of it? It's just something you cut a piece of cloth and sew. How many do you want, young lady?"
"Nurse, do we have window screens? Using that seam is more breathable and easier to carry, but it should be made larger and not too short. It mainly serves to keep out dust."
So Wang Jinyi explained its function in detail to the wet nurse, and found that there were countless little stars in the wet nurse's eyes. Looking at the young lady, Wang Jinyi felt that this thing seemed to be done right.
