Chapter 108 Missing Person Notice

What's more, the wet nurse is a professional invisible person and has a bond with me. How could she abandon the young lady to do her own extra work at this moment?

Wang Jinyi was complaining about her slow reaction.

Zhu Yu came in and said:

"I arranged for Wang Jinlai to work in the accounting office. The study room is ready. I was afraid that I would be too busy here, so I came back."

This time I finally thought it through.

"You did a great job. Go find Qingyu, and then go to the accounting office to get what Wang Jinlai has written."

"Miss, why is Wu Mei missing? Did you send her out again?"

"Wasn't she working in the backyard this morning?"

"Miss, she cleared the branches and the backyard today and disappeared."

"Got it. Next time she goes out, let her check in with you before she leaves. Tell her it was me who said that."

This time Zhu Yu was happy, his eyes sparkled, he bowed and went to do his work.

Wang Jinyi jumped off the chair and looked around the lobby.

The main hall in the front yard usually does not allow women from the back house to give orders, but my mother gave herself unique rights.

Only a mother like my mother, who is knowledgeable, cultured and loves her daughter so much, would do this.

This is a decision that is almost ahead of its time.

After a while, Wen Bai returned to the front hall leisurely, holding the paper and the small cloth bag. Before he could salute again, Wang Jinyi called him.

"Mr. Wenbai, please sit here and bring your things over."

As he spoke, he put the tea set on the coffee table on a tray. The wet nurse came over and took it to the side, then stood back by the door.

When Wen Bai saw that the young lady had vacated the coffee table on her seat of honor, he walked over, placed the paper and the small cloth bag on the table, then respectfully stepped back two steps and stood by her side.

This time, Wang Jinyi quickly thought of the word "foreign man".

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Just as he finished speaking, Qingyu came in.

"Miss."

When Wang Jinyi saw him, she thought, hey, finally I'm not alone with men anymore.

"Qingyu, come here."

Hearing the young lady calling him, Qingyu walked to her side. Wang Jinyi pointed at the cloth bag and said,

"Open!"

Qingyu did as he was told and took it out for a look.

“Isn’t this charcoal?”

"Yes, it is pine charcoal. It burns lightly and has a pine resin aroma. It has a very dense structure. This charcoal is very good." Wen Bai said.

Wang Jinyi thought: I forgot to explain it clearly due to negligence, but this also explains the problem.

Looking back at the text,

"Mr. Wenbai, you come too."

Wen Bai only took a small step forward and looked over in confusion.

"Each of you use a piece of charcoal to write down what I said on your own pieces of paper."

Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then did as the young lady said. He took a small piece of charcoal, a piece of paper, found a table, sat down and waited for the young lady to speak.

Wen Bai didn't move. He looked at the little girl who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Sir, just sit here and write."

Without giving the two time to continue their wild thoughts, Wang Jinyi decided to start.

"Spring is like a smile, summer is like green, autumn is like makeup, and winter is like sleep."

Wen Bai no longer hesitated, took a piece of black charcoal, tried it on the yellow and white paper, and wrote a string of words of varying depths.

Seeing that both of them had finished writing, Wang Jinyi said:

"The mountains and rivers of heaven exist in the void, and the waves of the Nine Netherworlds stir the distant sky."

Seeing that Wenbai was interested in his poems, he quickly interrupted him.

"Qingyu, give me a set of running accounts, and you two write them out."

Wait until the two of them looked up again.

"Okay, now you two lovers will exchange and read each other's notes."

After the two exchanged, they both read carefully. After reading the literary and vernacular texts, they stood up and were about to sit back at the desk.

Wang Jinyi called him,

"Mr. Wenbai, wait a minute. I want to ask you, do you think this can be made into a pen?"

Wang Jinyi looked at Wen Bai's face, which showed a flash of impatience and indifference.

"Mr. Wenbai, the reason why the words can appear on the paper and be seen by people is simply because they have a dark color, which forms a light and dark contrast with the paper.

Carbon blocks have this characteristic, we just need to modify it and keep this characteristic."

Wen Bai listened to the girl's confident words:

"Sir, from today on, I ask you to follow the recipe I gave you and experiment to find the most correct ratio until you can make it the way I want."

Wang Jinyi walked over, pointed at the carbon block, and said:

"The carbon on the market now is weighed individually according to its type. It is crushed into powder, ground, sieved, and then a small amount of putty and clay are added, like this..."

Wang Jinyi pointed at the thin bamboo strips on the bamboo curtain.

"It's about this thickness, made into the length of a brush, surrounded by wooden or bamboo strips, and then wrapped up, it becomes a convenient writing tool."

Wen Bai listened to the little girl's detailed narration, and images slowly appeared in his mind, but he just couldn't connect them with the writing tools.

There was a deep suspicion on his face.

"Okay, miss."

"Qingyu, ask the buyers to buy two kilograms of each type of carbon in the market, and then pay for the actual amount and put it in our account."

Qingyu asked, "Miss, is there anyone selling charcoal on such a hot day?"

Wenbai continued:

"Yes, those noble families prefer to eat barbecue and drink wine in the hot summer. This makes them seem happy."

"Qingyu, you can go and place the purchase order. Now go to the kitchen and see what kind of carbon blocks are left. Weigh them according to the fixed weight and keep a record. Go ahead."

Qingyu did as she was told and left.

Wang Jinyi walked over and used charcoal to draw a simple pencil cross-section and section diagram on the yellow and white paper, and marked the approximate dimensions of each.

Then give the simple drawing to Wenbai.

“Sir, when you first start, I will join you, and I will be there until the first batch is done.

After you have prepared all the materials, you will work with others to refine the proportions. I will no longer be involved. You will be solely responsible for this."

Watching Wen Bai holding the blueprint, hesitating and standing there for a long time, he finally asked what he wanted to say most in his heart,

"Miss, don't you think this is just a child playing around?"

Mr. Wenbai, I will bear all the expenses. You can watch how I do it in the early stage and record the data. You can lead others to do it later. Until the experiment is successful. Do you want to try it? Are you willing to participate? "

"Miss, you are kidding, right? Are you really going to make this?"

Wang Jinyi felt that it was time to strengthen her confidence, otherwise Wen Bai's ridiculous expression would definitely hold her back:

"Sir, isn't it good to let more poor children afford pens? Why not give it a try? I'll pay for all the expenses, you just have to give it a try."

"After we finish recording the manuscript today, you can lead the team to start working on it."

Seeing that Wen Bai did not refute,

"Okay, let's move on to the second thing now. Please go back."

Wen Bai hesitated and heard the lady say,

"Write a missing person notice now."
