Half an hour passed, and Wang Jian could see this simple ink making workshop clearly from the inside out, and Chen Xu's ink was almost boiled. There was a strong smell of pine smoke and tung oil floating in the air, which was somewhat similar to the ink taste of later generations.

"Chen Lidian, is the ink you cook like this used to write?" Wang Jian squatted beside him and asked curiously.

"Writing is also possible, the most important thing is for printing!" Chen Xu took out the wooden stick and drew it on the surface of the clay pot for a few times. He found that the ink was pitch black, which was much richer than the ink made with charcoal powder before, so he ordered the helper to extinguish the fire in the earth stove.

"What is printing?" Wang Jian became even more curious.

"Printing is...well, this is a bit difficult to explain. You need to prepare some other things. Let's do this. I'll show you how to print it in a few days and you will understand!" Chen Xu thought for a while and said.

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to seeing the printing of Lidian! I heard from the children that there are many interesting things in Qinghe Town. I won't disturb Lidian anymore. I'll go around and take a walk!" Wang Jian said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Please give me a gift, but if there is a wooden sign in the town, don't go there. Also, in order to express that the old man and several heroes have eliminated the wolves and tigers for Qinghe Town, I invite you to eat barbecue on the river beach. There is enough wine, so don't forget it then!"

"What is barbecue?" Wang Jian couldn't help asking when he heard that eating was a strange noun.

"Haha, that's just barbecue, but it uses a unique Funiushan special recipe, and you will know it as soon as you eat it!"

Chen Xu was too lazy to explain that the activity of skewers was a fashion in later generations. No matter the poor and rich, they would like to eat, they would like to eat. Moreover, as the oldest foodie country on earth, China has completely formed a unique gene inheritance for eating. It is frying, fried, fried, steamed, stewed, roasted, roasted, and roasted. The water that is flying in the sky and the ground is drilled into the soil. As long as it can be eaten, the Chinese people have the urge to study it carefully to eat it. Therefore, after thousands of years of inheritance, everything in nature is divided into two types in the eyes of Chinese people. The delicious food is called dishes, and the unhealthy food is called Chinese medicine. There is no food that cannot be eaten. Arsenic can be used as medicine to fight poison with poison.

Chen Xu was indeed ready to thank the old man and his followers. You should know that the wild wolf in the Wild Wolf Valley has always been a disaster in the town. Originally, there was a village with twenty or thirty families in the Wild Wolf Valley, and there was a large area of ​​fertile farmland at the entrance of the valley, which was very suitable for growing hemp. Later, more and more wild wolves breed, and the village gradually became deserted, and all people moved to the town. But even so, the wild wolves would still come to the town in groups to fight the autumn wind. Not only would they lose chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, cattle, horses and cubs, but even the children were taken away several times during the day. Therefore, the Wild Wolf Valley was deserted year by year, and now they could not get in.

In addition, there is also the tiger that comes from spring and autumn like a migratory bird, which is even more of a big problem. He once went down the mountain to slaughter the cattle and horses in the town in broad daylight. As for asking the county magistrate to send someone to kill the tiger, it is basically a waste of time. Every time he reports the lost livestock, the county magistrate will refuse. The county magistrate does have the responsibility to compile theft and maintain public order, but the Qin law does not mandate the county magistrate to be responsible for the disaster such as large beasts. Moreover, even if he goes, if he wants to find a tiger in the vast mountains and then dies completely, it is like a joke. If he is not careful, he will suffer heavy casualties.

The villagers of Xiaohe Village killed an injured tiger eight years ago and even carried it to the Wancheng County Magistrate's Mansion to report the merits. The former county magistrate of Zhi County was praised by Xianyang for this, and the evaluation results were added to a great honor. Then they were promoted to another place to make money. No official could stay in a poor place like Zhi County, and leaving was considered an promotion.

Therefore, the entire Qinghe Town is trembling in autumn and winter every year. However, this year's luck is good. As soon as the autumn comes, an old man who is drunk and crazy, he also beats him up. By the way, he also beats more than ten wolves, which solves both disasters almost at the same time.

So Chen Xu was busy for more than an hour in the morning. In addition to a large pot of tiger meat, he also carefully treated the intestines, stomachs and tendons, which were essential for later generations, and cut them all into marinated with seasonings and salt.

Rub tiger meat, rub tiger intestines, rub tiger heart, rub tiger tendons...

The mutton skewers I ate later in life were not authentic, but I didn’t expect that I could actually beat a tiger now.

So when Chen Xu spoke, he felt that his saliva could no longer be stopped.

Unfortunately, Yu Wuya, the second guy, was not here! Otherwise, he would not only know what excitement was like!

The old man took a few subordinates to visit elsewhere, and Chen Xu felt at ease to start studying the production of ink strips.

I burned more than a thousand kilograms of pine and cypress branches and burned them out about five dou of carbon ash. It looked half a pot, but it was actually very light, and it was probably only two or three kilograms. But if it was boiled into ink for printing, there would definitely be no problem printing hundreds of books.

Because the clay pot is not resistant to storage liquid, it must leak slowly. Over time, the ink will condense and dry. Therefore, it is best to make excess carbon ash into ink blocks, so you can use it as you write later. However, if you want to make ink blocks, you cannot use gum. You must use leather glue, bone glue or horn glue. There is no current, but there is no shortage of raw materials. I just got a tiger and more than ten big wolves, and there are many bones, and some wild boar skin, cowhide and deer antlers can be found in the town.

The principle of making glue is not complicated. When Chen Xu was a child, he saw that his second grandfather had made dog skin plaster. The main ingredient was dog skin glue. Then he added several other Chinese medicines that unblocked meridians and activate blood circulation to make it slowly. When using it, he would put some on cotton gauze and stick them on the affected area.

And carpenter Liu Erwa seems to be able to boil glue.

Chen Xu told several helpers in the ink making workshop that he continued to chop wood and burn toner and collect gum, and then he went to the woodworking workshop again with a small can of ink.

"Boiling glue? This is simple! I have some here. If you want to use it, please use it for now." After hearing Chen Xu explain the purpose of this, Liu Erwa searched in the room for a while and took out a clay pot, opened the lid, and grabbed a handful of burnt yellow irregular translucent particles.

"What kind of glue is this?" Chen Xu picked up a few pieces in curiosity and looked at them and asked.

"This is cowhide glue!"

"Cowhide is too expensive, and it is a waste to use it to make glue. Now that I have a lot of wolf bones, it is better to make some bone glue!" Chen Xu said.

"What Lidian said is that this cowhide was cooked after I reported it to the county magistrate. The mountain squid is also good, but even less. Every time the hunters in the town get it, they will be handed over to the county government or sold it. However, if it is a bone, it is difficult to deal with it. The oiliness is too high and the treatment is not clean. The glue produced is very poor. It can only be used to stick some coarse benzene objects, and it is prone to insects and will fall apart when it is slightly damp. In fact, it is useless!" Liu Erwa explained.

Chen Xu touched his chin and thought about it, and roughly understood the reason for the bad bone glue, that is, the bone oil contained in it is difficult to deal with. Unless it can be dried and ground and treated with acid and alkali, the boiled will definitely be a pot of big bone soup. If you add some radish or something, it will be a soup dish. Hot pot is OK, but it is probably not OK to stick to things.

"Where is the horn?" Chen Xu asked again.

"The horns are even more expensive. Every time a cow is old and falls to death, the horns must be handed over to the county government. That is an important material for making crossbows. It is not allowed to be hidden and used privately by the people!" Liu Erwa said quickly.

"Let me do this, I'll take away these glue first. In a few days, I'll ask Liu Po ​​to collect some mountain pigs for you and make some more!"

"Okay, Erwa promises that he will not delay the major affairs of Lidian!" Liu Erwa quickly agreed.

Next, Chen Xu went to the health center with a can of ink and a can of cowhide glue.

I just thought of the dog skin plaster. I didn’t have the dog skin, but I got more than ten wolf skins. The dog was tamed by the wolf. Since the dog skin can be made with ointment, the wolf skin will be more effective, so he decided to discuss with Xu Fu to see if he could make the dog skin plaster in advance.

The legend of Dog Skin Plaster was invented by Tieguai Li, one of the Eight Immortals. It has very good effects on bruises, injuries, rheumatism, pain and sore diseases. However, the ingredients contained in the plaster are different according to the different diseases. Chen Xu only knows that there is such a thing. As for what medicine to use for which disease, it is completely a Haha star, and his eyes are dark. However, with Xu Fu, a medical expert who is diligent in his studies and questions, he will give him guidance and methods, and he will definitely make it slowly. After all, he is more clear about the properties of some common drugs.

"Dog skin plaster?" Xu Fu was surprised by the novelty that Chen Xu proposed.

"Well, it is to mix various medicines that unblock the meridians and promote blood circulation, relieve blood stasis and relieve pain with dog skin glue and stick them on gauze. When used, heat them and stick them on the affected area. It is very convenient and quick to use. It is much better than using medicine powder and bandages, and it is not easy to fall off and disperse..." Chen Xu explained briefly.

"This method is indeed convenient. Fu had thought about solving the disadvantages of applying external medicine powder before, but he did not expect that plaster is a great talent in the inner world, and Fu was also taught!" Xu Fu bowed to Chen Xu with joy on his face.

"Haha, I just wanted to use glue before I thought of this method. You can study this matter carefully, list a few recipes, and then find carpenter Liu Erwa to learn how to make glue. If the plaster can be made and the effect is achieved, if this method is spread, you will be famous for the ages!" Chen Xu quickly gave a lollipop.

"This is the wonderful idea of ​​Lidian. Fu dares not be greedy for merit. He will definitely live up to what Lidian expects and make a dog skin plaster as soon as possible!" Xu Fu quickly saluted again.

"Okay, you and I have a strong relationship, and there is no need to be so polite. No matter who has the merits, it is all for the purpose of relieving diseases and curing diseases. Doctors should not have any selfish thoughts. It is the duty of a doctor to save the world!" Chen Xu waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Doctors are parents' hearts!" Xu Fu was stunned for a while, and then bowed deeply to the ground several times, then said seriously and extremely serious, "Li Dian's words woke up the dreamer. Fu claimed to be a famous medical scholar and was also highly sought after in Qi. But today I realized that Lord Li Dian's heart is the little douer. Only when he understood the great suffering of all people is the great way for doctors. This sentence of blessing should be written on the homepage of medical books, and he should be alert to understand himself every day. Do not forget Lord Li Dian's teachings today!"

Chen Xu:...

"Okay, very good, I'm very happy that you can think of this!" Chen Xu gently patted Xu Fu's shoulder, "No hurry to study this matter slowly. By the way, I'll send that tiger bone to you after I have someone to deal with it. Tiger bones have the effect of chasing wind and relieving pain. You can try it to see if it can be used as medicine or plasters!"

"Fu was just about to talk to Lidian about this. The tiger bones not only chase wind and relieve pain, but also strengthen muscles, bond bones, calm the mind, and detoxify and cure sores. In the past, Fu also used tiger bones as medicine, but there were too few, and most of them were taken away by the government and nobles, so it was too expensive and rare. If this new tiger bone in the town could be used, it would definitely be able to diagnose and treat many diseases!" Xu Fu said gratefully.

"That's good. Take good care of the two injured. I'll leave first if I have something to do!" Chen Xu left the health center happily.

When talking about tiger bones just now, he really remembered it just now. Because when he was a child, he saw his second grandfather's medicine shop selling a tiger bone chasing ointment, which is also considered a high-end version of dog skin plaster. Some old people had their waists and legs sore, so they asked them to post it. I heard that the effect was good, but he didn't expect that Xu Fu actually knew other effects of tiger bones. It turned out that he accidentally planted willows and would make a plaster with better effect in one go.

This era is not like the later generations of two thousand years. Tigers are still a very common wild beast. There are tigers in Qinghe Town. In the vast mountains of Funiu Mountain and Qinling, the thousands of kilometers of mountains, the Qinling Mountains, there are countless tigers. It has expanded to the entire China. Compared with large wild beasts, humans are still ethnic minorities in the animal world at this time. It is estimated that the number of tigers alone is millions, and the number of wild boars and wild wolves is even larger. In the vast Greater Khingan Mountains and Siberia, there are probably more tigers than people. Even if they are called national treasures in later generations, they are so cute that they make a living by gnawing bamboo all day long. Now they are counted in hundreds of thousands of heads, spread across the Qinling Mountains and Bashu areas. They are completely ordinary beasts. Not only are they not valuable or precious, but they also seriously threaten the survival of human beings and are the targets to be hunted.

It would be great if I could get a giant panda. I wonder if it tastes delicious?

Chen Xu walked with two jars, saliva flowing all over his mouth.

However, the matter of picking up giant pandas can be temporarily put on. After all, as the mount of the great god Chiyou, there is an ancient nickname called the Iron Eating Beast. The biting force of the mouth reaches 700 pounds. It is second only to polar bears and brown bears among bear families. It is much more powerful than lions and tigers. The combat value is still very terrifying, and ordinary hunters dare not provoke them.

What's more, Chen Xu has more important things to do now. For example, after the ink block is made, there must be an inkstone. Ordinary sand and gravel and bluestone are definitely not good. People have to arrange for people to collect and find stones suitable for grinding ink to make ink. Now that more than ten big wolves have been hunted, there are glue now. You can use wolf hair to make a batch of better brushes. Good brushes in later generations are called wolf hairs. Although weasel hairs are used, the hairs on wild wolves are much softer than cow hairs and horse hairs. It is definitely much easier to use for brushes.
