This chapter is "Xiao Ruizi's Kitchen".

The development of tofu had been completed.
After enjoying the tofu banquet, he was ready to devote his free time to another important research work.
White paper!
He had enough of thick bast paper, which was expensive, of poor quality, smelly, and too thick to write many words. A thick book might only have tens of thousands of words, and even a large book could not write more than a hundred or two hundred thousand words. So, the bookshelves in his study seemed to be full of books, but in fact, there was not much content.
"Although the territory already has a thick bast paper workshop, white paper is the most suitable paper for writing." Liszt went to Port Town to inspect the thick bast paper workshop.
There were three papersmiths in the thick bast paper workshop. The first one was Ravagne, a craftsman from the Mane City of Iron Hoof Island. After that, the two paper craftsmen searched for them from the Eagle Kingdom.
In the workshop.
Ravagne kept introducing the production of thick bast paper to Liszt. From its name, one could tell that thick bast paper was made from animal hides. After the animal skin was crushed, it was specially stirred, and an additive called "Gray Dolphin Gum" was added to condense it into paper.
Gray Dolphin Gum was the subcutaneous fat of a gray dolphin beast. There were many gray dolphin beasts on the continent, but in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, it was only found on Blue Dragon Island and Iron Hoof Island. This small beast liked open plains and could not be raised.
Therefore, gray dolphin gum was very valuable.
As a result, thick bast paper was also very expensive. Only nobles could afford it.
"I already know how to make thick bast paper. Today, I am going to teach you a new paper making technique." Liszt dismissed the irrelevant people, leaving only the three papersmiths, "This paper is called white paper. It is completely different from thick bast paper. The raw materials used are all plants, including hemp, bark, straw and the like."
The three papersmiths all showed surprised expressions, "Sir Lord, plants can also be made into paper?"
"I am not sure, but it is worth a try." Liszt did not give a complete answer, "I do not remember the specific manufacturing process, you will need to explore … The general process is like this, choose the materials first. I suggest using flax as the raw material."
He had an impression of Paper Blanche's native craftsmanship.
First, he prepared the materials, such as hemp, tree bark, straw, and bamboo, and soaked them for ten days to half a month. After soaking it until it was soft, it was then pounded and pounded into a paste. Water was added to stir it, and the coarse material was removed to become pulp. It would be best to add a little thickener to make the pulp easier to shape.
After that, he used the bamboo curtain to scoop up the paper. He placed the bamboo curtain into the paper pulp and evenly distributed a layer of paper pulp on it. He scooped it up to control the water and then inverted it to take out the wet paper. The wet sheets were stacked together, and the water was pressed down with a heavy object. Finally, the sheets were spread out one by one to dry in the sun.
"There doesn't seem to be bamboo in this world," Liszt suddenly thought of this when he was imparting the technique.
Therefore, he could only roughly describe the bamboo curtain used to fish out the paper, and let the paper craftsmen find suitable tools to fish out the paper themselves.
"All in all, this is the specific process, but the paper produced in this way should be rather rough. What I need is a smooth white paper. You need to keep experimenting and strive to improve on the foundation of this craft to produce real white paper. "
The paper craftsmen listened.
They couldn't guarantee that they could produce white paper, so they could only try their best. However, the three paper craftsmen were all very excited to be taught their skills by the Lord. Not to mention the importance of craft inheritance for craftsmen, the honor of being the Lord's personal disciple was worth showing off for a lifetime.
Of course.
The white paper craft must be kept secret, which is far more important than making tofu.
If he hadn't become a Dragon Knight, Liszt wouldn't even have been willing to take it out now, for fear that he wouldn't be able to keep it a secret. So he immediately arranged for Gort to arrange the white paper workshop far from the town, and told Paris to guard and patrol the white paper workshop.
If the white paper was successfully produced and the process was mature, it would definitely be a profitable business.
And this was an exclusive technology that could be passed down from generation to generation.
… …
In the next period of time.
Liszt's life began to become regular again. He went to the Dodo Island once every five days to practice with the little fire dragon, Leo, and improve their relationship. For the remaining four days, he accompanied A Qi to study the Sun language, taught Parker to speak, trained the Blizzard Beast, inspected the territory, and inspected the progress.
He also wrote "Speculations on the Correlation between Magic Network Nodes, Elves, and Dragons". He had written about 20,000 words in this book, mostly divergent conjectures.
Based on the relevant inspiration of the Internet, he guessed the magic network in his imagination.
As time passed, the Flame Mushrooms matured in batches, and the quality plummeted. With the harvest in batches, when there were only one thousand acres left, the quality finally felt a significant improvement. According to the calculation of the correlation data, Liszt and Chris jointly determined that the suitable planting area for the Flame Mushrooms was one thousand acres at the current planting density.
"Now I just have to wait for June 10th, when the other nobles come to trade for the abandoned worm grass." Liszt waited silently.
However, the abandoned worm grass from the previous quest had not yet arrived.
Good news came from the Sun language quest.
In the seaside villa, A Qi excitedly told Liszt, "Brother, A Qi has deciphered this book" Druid Compulsory – Magic Bean Planting "and learned a new magic from it!"
"What?"
"Big brother, these Sun Scrolls are basically magic books, but they are magic used by a type of mage called the Druid. Brother's previous understanding of the title is correct, this book is called "Druid Transformation into Bear Guide", it records how Druids turn into bears. "
She handed over the Sun book that Liszt had translated "Druid Transformation into XX Bear XX", "But A Qi doesn't have the energy to decipher it for now."
"So, you've already deciphered another book" Druid Compulsory – Magic Bean Planting "?"
"I haven't completely deciphered yet, I've only just deciphered one of the magic spells, which belongs to magic bean planting – Bathing in the Sun." A Qi said seriously.
"Bathing in the Sun?" Liszt was a little confused. What Bathing in the Sun was also a type of magic? And magic bean planting was a very large type of magic?
"Yes, this is a very strange magic system, it is very different from the human magic that A Qi learned. Human magic is divided according to the different nature of magic, A Qi can only be compatible with water magic, but the magic of Druids is not divided according to nature, but is chaos magic. "
After A Qi's detailed introduction, Liszt finally understood.
The Sun's Child race, among which the spellcasters were called Druids, they mastered the magic created by chaos magic.
Magic was mainly divided into two types.
One was the transformation magic of the Animal series, which could imitate all kinds of animals. "Druid Transformation into Bear Guide" was to transform into a bear to fight; the other was the planting magic of the Plant series, which could affect the growth of plants like elves, and even the plants they developed needed to cooperate with this type of magic to grow well.
"Druid Compulsory – Magic Bean Planting" was the planting magic of the Plant series, each plant had a special set of planting magic – magic beans corresponded to "magic bean planting" magic, and Bathing in the Sun was one of them.
