"Xiaoyu, can I open it and smell it?" Mr. Tang asked Zhou Yu after careful observation.

Zhou Yu smiled, pointed to the glass bottle on the table and said, "Old Tang, of course this is OK."

Old Tang couldn't wait to pick it up, gently opened the bottle cap, and put his nose close to the mouth of the bottle. After smelling it, a strange color appeared on his face. Then he couldn't help but take a few breaths and said in surprise: "These black liquids, which smell like ink, seem to smell like ink fragrance, are even better than the high-quality ink we made there."

"Oh, this liquid actually has the fragrance of ink. Old Tang, let me smell it." Lin Xiuyuan said in surprise when he saw this.

After taking the bottle from Old Tang, he smelled it a few times and said in surprise: "It's indeed the fragrance of ink, which is unbelievable. Is this really the juice of a plant? If it weren't for the better fragrance and the color of the liquid was unique, I really would suspect that this is the ink ground from some kind of ink."

Then, Xu Minghua, Nie Wenshan, and Qi Jinxuan all smelled it. Their professions were related to Chinese culture, including Chinese herbal medicines, antiques, and ancient musical instruments. Therefore, they also have a lot of love for the traditional culture of calligraphy and painting.

With the relationship between Mr. Tang, they are not short of ink. They write two words without any trouble and are already very familiar with the fragrance of ink. However, the ink fragrance emitted by the liquid in this bottle is even more noble, making people feel relaxed and happy when they smell it, as if they have entered a place full of calligraphy and painting, full of ink fragrance of ink and books.

"Not to mention other things like smooth writing and clear handwriting, just the fragrance of this liquid is definitely very exciting if it is added to the ink block." Xu Minghua said slowly. Ancient ink is also considered antiques. There are countless ancient tribute inks he has seen, but there is no ink that can exude this fragrance.

Old Tang nodded gently, "That's true, ink fragrance is also an important part of ink. This fragrance can improve the quality of ink. Xiaoyu, how to use this bottle of liquid? Can it be added to it when making ink?" At the end, he looked at Zhou Yu, with some excitement on his face.

He already wanted to make this kind of ink with this kind of fragrance. The words written with this kind of ink exudes such fragrance, which is really exciting.

"Yes, just drip a small amount of juice in the bottle when making ink. As for the ratio, it depends on your experiment." Zhou Yu nodded and smiled. Regarding the ratio, he only heard from the people in Wenyuan Pavilion that he drip in a few drops when making ink. It is unknown how many drops are, whether to make a piece of ink or how much, so he naturally has to rely on Mr. Tang to conduct the experiment.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Mr. Tang nodded gently. The formula of each ink is different, so the effect of this liquid will be somewhat different. It still takes tests to get the correct proportion. "I want to go home immediately and test the juice in the bottle."

Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand with a smile on his face, "Old Tang, don't worry, this juice won't run away, let alone, you can't go by yourself. I also want to see the ink made with my own eyes."

"As Mr. Lin said, I also want to take a look and take a few pieces of it for use, hehe." Zhou Yu joked. Although he had encountered Wenyuan Pavilion twice on the radio, he could not get the Wenhua ink made from ink grass juice. Ink making cannot be done in a short time, so he was also a joke.

"Haha, I saw that I got these juices, so I was just trying to help you. I just saw that I can. If I want to take them away, I probably have to wait for a long time." Boss Tang laughed, and then asked Zhou Yu: "By the way, Xiaoyu, what is the name of this plant? Can you get a lot of juice?"

At this time, Nie Wenshan couldn't help but smile, "Old Man Tang, if this kind of juice could be obtained in large quantities, Xiao Yu wouldn't have such a small bottle now, but would just bring you a big bucket."

Just like Cuiyinzhu, from the beginning to the present, he has made only about twenty bamboo flutes.

Qi Jinxuan is the most familiar with the preciousness of Zhou Yu's things. When he first got the fairy fruit powder, he could only get three cans every three days. Later, it became a little more. It was not until the fairy flavored rice powder that the fairy flavored rice powder gradually increased.

"This plant is as dark as ink, and is called Mocao, as Mr. Nie said, I can't get this kind of juice in large quantities now, so I can only provide it in small batches." Zhou Yu introduced the name of Mocao, shook his head and said.

Although the ink grass is breeding now, there is not much juice that can be squeezed out. Otherwise, Wenyuan Pavilion would not regard Wenhua ink as a treasure. There are only seven ink grass in Taoyuan, and there are still some of them.

Old Tang looked at the juice in the bottle and nodded with a smile, "It is already a blessing to be able to get this juice. At least after the test is successful, we can use the good ink."

"Old Tang, you have to leave some of the ink produced in this first experiment. I want to save it. This is of great commemorative value." Zhou Yu said. This ink with ink juice added to the juice of ink will definitely become famous in China.

"Haha, don't worry, I will engrave some words on the ink and let you collect them." Boss Tang laughed, and he would have to meet the requirements of the ink grass that Zhou Yu took out.

"Old Tang, look, I'd better introduce Xiaoyu you know. You should give me some collections." At this time, Xu Minghua also coughed and said.

As a master of antiques, this rare opportunity to collect can't be missed. This ink juice is already a bit extraordinary now. The ink produced will definitely crush other inks. By then, the first test will definitely have huge collection value.

Afterwards, Lin Xiuyuan and Nie Wenshan also spoke one after another. Old Tang couldn't help but waved his hand and said helplessly: "Okay, you have both share and share. I will give you the ink you tested. Then you can watch it."

At this moment, seeing that everyone wanted Mo to collect, Zhou Yu said mysteriously: "Old Lin, don't rush to ask Mo for it first. You should ask me what the next surprise is."

At this moment, when he heard Zhou Yu's words, Mr. Tang, Lin Xiuyuan and others suddenly turned their heads and said in surprise: "Xiao Yu, is there another surprise?"

This ink grass juice shocked them. I really didn't expect that Zhou Yu would have another surprise.

Tang Renhuai, who was around them, was born in the Mo family, and now the ink grass juice is also related to Mo, so they did not guess that there would be another surprise. Could this surprise be related to Mo?

Since they met Zhou Yu, the surprises they saw were more exciting than the other, and they were even more excited about the next surprise.

"Of course, I didn't say there was only one surprise this time." Zhou Yu said mysteriously.

"Xiao Yu, this surprise should have nothing to do with Old Man Tang." At this time, Nie Wenshan said with anticipation on his face.

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, "Old Nie, congratulations, you guessed wrongly. Mr. Tang should be the most suitable thing I took out this time."

"Haha, Lao Nie, it's useless to be jealous. You have specialized in your skills." Tang Huairen laughed happily, and then couldn't wait to say, "Xiao Yu, what is your other thing? Take it out and take it out and take it out."

"Wait for a moment, the fish seems to have been hooked." Zhou Yu said, looking at the fishing rod in front of him.

Tang Huairen quickly grabbed him, "You kid, don't worry about the fish. No matter how good the fish you catch is, it's better than your shad. Take out the things quickly." Lin Xiuyuan and others next to him also agreed.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "The next thing is still grass, but it's very different from the black grass."

Lin Xiuyuan and others showed a hint of surprise on their faces. It was still grass, "Xiaoyu, what kind of grass is this time? Take it out and take it out and take a look."

At this time, Zhou Yucong put his hand into the bag, making Lin Xiuyuan and others beside him want to snatch the bag and see how many treasures there are.

When Zhou Yu took out his hand from his bag, there was already a handful of green grass. "These grasses are another surprise for me."

Lin Xiuyuan and others pulled out a grass from Zhou Yu's hand and observed it. Compared with the ink-black juice of the ink grass, these green grass seemed a little dull, which made Lin Xiu and the others a little confused.

"These grasses seem to have nothing unique. What are their uses? Are they also ink making?" Tang Huairen couldn't help asking. Since it was related to him, he was of course very concerned.

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, "The juice of ink is enough for making ink grass. Some things in the world seem ordinary, but they have extraordinary power. Just like straw in Jingxian, it is an important material for making rice paper. The four treasures of the study, ink and paper are the most commonly used. Since ink is available, paper is also indispensable."

At the end, he looked at the grass in his hand and said with a smile: "The grass I took out is for making rice paper."

"Straw, rice paper." Tang Huairen's eyes lit up. He carefully observed the grass in his hand, and then pinched it with his hands, showing a hint of surprise on his face. "These grasses look very fibrous and are indeed good materials for making rice paper."

"It turned out to be used to make rice paper. We were all fixed by Xiaoyu before, and I only thought that Lao Tang made ink." Lin Xiuyuan looked at the grass in his hand, shook his head and smiled.

"I haven't finished speaking yet. Although these grasses look ordinary, the flowers they bloom are different. I have saved one this time." Zhou Yu smiled and took out a box from his bag again. When he opened it, a cool air came out of his body.

Everyone hurriedly surrounded them. They didn't expect that Zhou Yu, the boy, took out all the things at once. When they approached the box, their faces were full of surprise. In the center of the box, there was a flawless white flower, and four ice packs were placed around them.

This flower looks very pure and spotless, even whiter than the whitest rice paper they have ever seen. This white seems to be like a holy color.

"Is this flower really the grass in our hands? Such an ordinary grass blooms with such extraordinary flowers, which is incredible." Tang Huairen looked at the flower and said in amazement.

"The flowers blooming from these grasses are the one in front of you." Zhou Yu nodded. When he saw this grass blooming, he was also full of surprise.

Lin Xiu was filled with emotion in the distance, "This may be to turn decay into magic. By the way, will these flowers be used when making rice paper?"

"I got the information that this kind of grass is the material for making rice paper. As for whether flowers can be used, it requires some experiments. However, such extraordinary flowers should also be part of rice paper material." Zhou Yu shook his head. The functions of these grasses were all guessed by him. He didn't know whether flowers can be used.

"Haha, the two surprises this time are really exciting. One is the material for making ink, the other is the material for making rice paper, the four treasures of the study, and the two most important things are all gathered now." Tang Huairen laughed loudly, his face full of excitement.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, four treasures of study, pens and inkstones can basically be used for a long time. Only ink and paper are the most used. Moreover, sometimes the best pens and inkstones cannot be mass-produced, but ink and paper are OK.

"Old Tang, hurry up and go back to experiment. At that time, our rice paper and ink will depend on you." Xu Minghua said with a smile. Good rice paper and ink can make people more smooth and vivid when writing.

Tang Huairen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I also want to experiment successfully immediately and let you use it. However, the time required for ink making is not just one or two months."

"Although there are some modern tools now, it will take at least several months. Only in this way can the quality be guaranteed. When making ink and rice paper, you can take a look at it. As for if you want to use it, you probably have to wait until next year."

Zhou Yu nodded. He had known some knowledge about ink and rice paper before. It took more than ten processes to make ink ingots. After the production is finally done, it still needs to be dried. One or two inks will take several months to dry them. As for whether modern tools can be used, he doesn't know.

As for rice paper, it takes eighteen processes and takes one year to make it. This is ancient and modern production. As Tang Huairen said, it may take at least several months.

These are all traditional cultural skills. Unlike products on modern technology assembly lines, countless pieces can be produced in a day.

"We are not in a hurry, just want to see what the ink is made after the ink juice is added." Lin Xiuyuan said with a smile. They naturally knew that the process of making ink and rice paper is very complicated and cannot be made in a short period of time.
