Chapter 27

Make Japanese paper. The situation where Japanese paper can be made has come.

 

Also, it ’s not Lutz, but Lutz does it. As part of job hunting.

 

Now, I can fly the figure skating side-by-side or about half a turn.

 

Don’t be stumped that you can fly! This body is difficult!

 

“Ufufun. Fufun”

 

“Mine, it’s nice to be in a good mood … I’m not too excited.
 

“I can’t help being excited, because I can make paper? Can I make it? If I can make paper, I can make a book. Iyafu!”

 

§ Why can’t I get excited because I know that the book is imminent?

 

Lutz sighed with his head on me as he headed home with a bouncy gait.

 

“… Mine, it’s nice to make it. How do you make it? I don’t know at all. Do I need tools? Is it okay?”

 

Lutz spilled with sighs, but the air that had floated mist scatters and returned to reality at once.

 

…… That was right. There is nothing to do, handmade from tools!

 

I know how to make Japanese paper. I remember the name of the tool. However, I read how to make tools for making Japanese paper in a book about obsolete craftsmen and their tools, but I don’t remember in detail.

 

Can’t be made without tools.

 

…… Wow, first of all, make tools. It may be impossible to start making paper immediately. Ah, I still can’t use my knowledge.

 

“… Hey Mine. I suddenly became quiet, but couldn’t you say I can’t do it here?”

 

Lutz shook his head with a very anxious face.

 

“I don’t say that. I know how to make paper. I’ve always wanted it, but I didn’t have the power to cut wood, couldn’t use fire, and I couldn’t crush the fiber. I can’t say I made paper for my self … “

 

“I told you to help me, so I should have just said …”

 

Lutz sharpens his lips with a little regret.

 

I feel happy, but making paper is a lot of hard work. It’s not the same as getting help digging soil between collections or helping cut trees.

 

“That’s right, I can only teach Lutz how to make it. Unlike when I was helping me with what I could do, Lutz would make everything almost from start to finish. Do you do it?]

 

“That’s natural. Mine thinks and I make. That promise?”

 

Lutz struck immediately, but confirmation is required. Perhaps I thought that it might just have been engulfed by the atmosphere of the place.

 

“Now, Lutz. I have to start with making tools, but can I do my best?”

 

“… Do you want to do Mine with me?”

 

“Of course, I will do as much as possible”

 

While saying so, I thought so well.

 

To make a tool, you must find out what tools are needed. At the same time, let’s look inside the house for possible substitutes.

 

Also, my mother might get angry, but as long as there is nothing ahead of us, I can only find a substitute.

 

“I wrote out the tools I needed and looked for something that could be used instead. If I didn’t, I would have to make it … Lutz looked for the tree that would be the raw material for the paper. I want it “

 

“How many trees are there in the forest?”

 

“Yes, but I don’t know which tree is suitable for making paper.”

 

Kozo, Mitsumata, I know that Ganpi is a wood suitable for Japanese paper, but I don’t know which tree is suitable for making paper in this world.

 

“Well, wood that is easy to use to make paper has long and strong fibers. The fibers are sticky and the fibers are easy to get entangled. I don’t know how to tell if a tree is long and strong. “

 

Moreover, this year’s first year tree seems to be suitable. I’ve read that after the second year, the fibers become harder and more difficult to use because they have knots.

 

But even if I look at the tree, I can’t tell if it’s the first year or the second year.

 

“… I don’t know if I’m told that difficult,”

 

“That’s right. I think there are soft and hard trees for the time being, but there are soft and young trees.”

 

“It will harden over the years”

 

After all, it seems that Lutz knows more about trees.

 

For me, everything is hard and uncut, but for Lutz it seems easy to cut and the difference between hard and soft is clear.

 

“Well, paper made of bamboo or bamboo is used, so even if it is not suitable, it should be easy to make it even if it is plant, but it should be easier to make it. Then you have to choose a tree that is even easier to use. “

 

“Hey …”

 

Lightly crawled into Lutz as if it was an easy-to-use tree.

 

“If possible, it would be nice if it could be cultivated and the raw materials could be easily obtained, but I don’t know if it would be easy to grow?”

 

“No, trees that grow easily and trees that don’t grow are different. There are trees that grow easily.”

 

“Is that so?”

 

歯 Teeth bite to the low experience value of Mine who has not gone out.

 

January when I came to the forest. I haven’t cut a tree yet, so I can’t choose a tree.

 

“Let’s leave it to Lutz to choose a tree. I’m going to challenge with different types of trees and investigate the unsuitable orientation, so consider some soft trees. I want you to look for “Toro” “

 

“What is it?”

 

“What I know is the root of the tree, but I don’t know if it’s around here. The tree where the sticky liquid comes out … It’s okay, but isn’t it?

 

Lutz doesn’t seem to think right away, so he thought for a while.

 

“Hmm …”

 

“You’re there because it acts as a glue to hold the fibers together”

 

“Ask a man familiar with the forest”

 

“Now I remember the procedure and write out the necessary tools. Then think about how to make it.”

 

I was arriving in front of my house while I mentioned what to do.

 

“We’ve arrived. Then let’s do our best”

 

“Yes”

 

It seems to be difficult to make paper. Actually, it seems that it will be quite a long work to make a prototype suitable for the product.

 

When I got home, I took out the stone. I have to write down the necessary tools while looking back on the process of making Japanese paper.

 

As a procedure, first harvesting trees and plants as raw materials. Lutz also had something like a bag, and no tools were needed. Yes, next.

 

In this case, it should have been steamed to remove the black skin. When thinking so, there is a steamer.

 

Since I have never seen a steamer in my house, let me lend it in the kitchen. I thought so and tried to find a kitchen right away.

 

Steamed dishes have never appeared before. It’s no wonder even without it.

 

I wrote a steamer and pan on a stone board. Yes, next.

 

Steamed wood is exposed to cold water and peeled off while hot. In other words, I think it would be better to do it near the river than steaming, but if you have a knife, you don’t need a tool. Yes, next.

 

No tools are needed to dry well or to peel the white skin by exposing it to the river for more than a day. If you have a knife, it will be somehow. Yes, next.

 

Boil the white skin with ash, soften it, and remove the excess. In other words, there are ashes and pots. The pot is used when steaming, so it can be reused, but the ash preparation is strict. I don’t think my mother will give me, and I don’t know if the ash made when steamed is enough.

 

Write ash on the stone board. Yes, next.

 

Also, expose to the river for more than a day, flush the ash, expose to the sun, and turn white. Then remove fiber scratches and knots. This is mostly manual work. No tools are required. Yes, next.

 

Strike until the fiber looks like cotton. Here you need a square bar like a club to beat the fiber. Can this be made from wood or firewood?

 

Written with squarewood on a stone board. Yes, next.

 

よ く Mix the beaten fiber, water, and troll well, and scrub the paper with a girder.

 

A bowl for mixing everything, a tub, or a bowl. Then, like a wooden frame for scooping paper. This girder seems to be the most difficult thing.

 

Write on the slab and spar. Yes, next.

 

Remove the kettle and move the ground paper to the paper floor. A day’s worth of paper is piled on the paper floor, and the water is drained naturally about a day and night.

 

I wrote a paper floor on a stone board. Yes, next.

 

After that, slowly apply pressure with a heavy stone or jack to further squeeze the water. If you leave it pressed all day and night, Toro’s stickiness will be completely eliminated.

 

Is anything possible for the weight?確 か There was certainly a heavy stone for squeezing when squeezing the oil.

 

For the time being, write as a heavy stone.

 

Carefully peel off the pressed pieces one by one from the paper floor and paste them onto the board.

 

I wrote a flat board.

 

After drying in the sun, finish it off by peeling off the board.

 

“Well, there are quite a lot of things in this way …”

 

Necessary items, steamer, pan, slab, ash, trough, girder, paper floor, weight stone, flat board. And raw material, Trollo.

 

I’ve seen it in pictures and illustrations, and even if I remember the process, I haven’t actually made it, so I don’t know the details. For example, the ratio of wood fiber, troll and water.

 

However, sometime, an idol who was making a village and was not like an idol was making paper on a TV program. I can be an idol and I can’t do it.

 

Recall the TV program I watched in the past. Good luck, my memory!

 

No, but you borrowed that idol or tool? Did you make any tools?

 

Moreover, did you have a leader? Uo.

 

Even with knowledge, the paper I actually made was just a postcard made of recycled paper using a milk pack in a home economics class. I want to think it is better than nothing I have done, but I can’t rely on it.

 

Anyway, let’s challenge from the size of a postcard. Smaller tools are easier to make, and if you want to check the type of wood, you should make it smaller than the larger size.

 

“Now, Lutz. Let’s make a steamer first”

 

It’s difficult to make a round sword that is used for Chinese food, but it should not be so difficult to make a square with wood.

 

¡Show them to Lutz while drawing a picture like this on a stone board.

 

“I think it can be done because it’s easy, but are there nails?”

 

“Eh !? Can you make a cut in the wood and combine them …?”

 

“What is it?”

 

Troubled trying to make a tool. There is no tool to make tools.

 

The wood can be cut, but there are no nails. Here, nails aren’t priced for kids to use.

 

And, although there are tools for cutting wood, there are no tools for fine work.

 

I wish I could use the technique of Edo Sashiki that borrows my father’s tools and combines them to create a tenon, but even if I know it as such craftsmanship and knowledge, I can’t use it.

 

By the way, if it is something that can be done by Lutz only by explanation, it is not called craftsmanship.

 

Since nails are used in daily life, if you go to a hardware store, you can’t sell them.

 

Suddenly Happo.

 

“What are you doing, Mine?”

 

“Well, I’m going to talk to Mr. Otto. I’m familiar with the marketplace and the traders, and I might get nails with help …”

 

Since I can’t provide my family with labor, I have no choice but to buy my labor.

 

Next day, I went to the gate and asked Otto.

 

“Otto-san, I have a question, what is the price of a nail? If you know a cheap contractor, I would like you to introduce it.”

 

“… Why are you nails? You can’t use it, Mine”

 

Yes. I don’t have the strength to use a tonkachi.

 

I answered the mixed sigh with Otto, who wonders if he wanted to use a nail.

 

“I want to make the tools I need to make paper, but I don’t have tools to make them.”

 

“Hahahahaha …”

 

“It’s not laughing.”

 

Refusing to hit the desk and laughing, I suddenly swell up.

 

Surely right after Benno decided to “make it by spring”, “I can’t make a tool” would be a laughing story, but this is a must.

 

Otto smiled while laughing too much and wiping the tears that floated in the corner of the eyes. It is a little black smile of a calculation merchant who looks refreshing.

 

Otto, who noticed me who was on the alert, laughed at me.

 

“If you tell me how to make a hair-glossy thing, would you give me a nail?”

 

The price is not balanced at all. It ’s too much to climb.

 

If information flows from Otto to Benno, I lose a valid card that I can cut against that Benno. The loss is too great.

 

“… It’s just a nail that I can’t figure out how to make it. Considering Benno-san’s reaction the other day, it’s likely to be a product that will be quite profitable.”

 

“… I watched it well”

 

Otto whispered as if I was a little impressed.

 

Well, I am thinking desperately, answering vaguely. If I lose the rope Otto, I have no other rope to pass. I have to find a place to drop it somehow.

 

…… Why does Otto need a simple chan chan?

 

Otto is not a merchant unlike Benno. If so, I don’t want to sell it as a product.

 

Maybe you want to make a loan to Benno.

 

…… Otto is relatively pretty, but she is not the type that cares about the appearance as much as she wants to use herself. ? Bride! ?

 

Otto’s beloved bride wanted to hear the story, so I feel like I can explain it.

 

“… Otto-san, information is impossible, but you can just exchange the goods.”

 

“Yeah?”

 

Otto lightly raised his eyebrows. You may not be particular about the information because it shows interest. Take another step in anticipation of a little opportunity.

 

“… Well, yes, I’ll tell Korinna how to use it and make it glossy and glossy. If you don’t know how to use it even if you get only the actual thing, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

 

“Yes, it’s a deal”

 

Otto nodded without showing any thoughts.

 

I thought that it would be most effective to give Kotrina the name to Otto, but it seems that things can be carried so easily.

 

“Now, come to my house on the next holiday. Would you like to exchange at that time?”

 

“I understand”

 

On the next holiday, I decided to bring a simple chan linshan to Otto’s house and become an instant hairdresser (shampoo only).

 

Somehow I was relieved that I could get a nail, but if I keep it, my simple-chan Rinshan will disappear.

 

Also, since simple Chan Linshan is a consumable item if not added, there is a high possibility that Otto will be required to replace it.

 

“Lutz, the nails have a chance to get”

 

“Seriously? Sugejan, Mine”

 

“Yeah, I decided to hand out” Simple Rinshan “instead … I don’t think so much anymore. Can you help me make it today?”

 

“Oh, good!”

 

How about making a little more chan chan shan and using it as a funding source?

 

“After a while, I can get Merrill, but in this season Rio’s fruit is the best.”

 

Take the fruit of Rio with Lutz in the forest, crush it in my house and get oil. Lutz wasn’t able to use the squeezing stone yet, so he used a hammer.

 

I throw herbs into the squeezed oil one after another.

 

“Well, can you do it quite easily?”

 

“Yes. The important thing is the combination of oil and herbs. So, Lutz. It’s good to raise the materials and funds you want, but only teach you how to make it. It ’s not good. ”

 

“Why?”

 

“It’s easy, so once you teach me how to make it, you can make it yourself. You won’t be able to exchange it again?”

 

“Yes, I understand”

 

Finished Simple Chan Rinshan is put in a small vessel and handed to Lutz.

 

Lutz, who was handed, leaned his head and became a suspicious face.

 

“I don’t need it, because it’s Mine to procure things and money, Mine should bring it”

 

“Lutz has worked, so I just want to take care of Aunt Carla. You have been asking questions for a long time?”

 

When I cleaned up Lutz’s hair before the interview with Otto, Aunt Carla said that she had heard persistently. Since then, I haven’t met Aunt Carla, so all the questions should go to Lutz.

 

“Oh, I’m saved. Thank you, Mine”

 

Lutz glared and received a bowl.

 

In such a lutz, I imitate Otto’s smile and smile.

 

“Even if you are driven by Aunt Carla’s momentum, you shouldn’t leak the way to make it. It’s a practice not to give information even if you give it in-kind. It’s coming out “

 

“… I want to practice from a simpler place, I”

 

He laughs swiftly at the rugged Lutz.

 

Nail still not available.

 

The road to Washi looks quite far away.
