"Damn, this old boy is quite vindictive! I was also curious about this ancient papermaking technique, so I wanted to go in and have a look. But whoever let himself expose him will start to embarrass himself at this moment! Bah! What paper mill is important, if you don't go, you won't go! Shi Yuan cursed fiercely in his heart, stopped his steps, and teased Li Maomao...... The little girl was still crying with a sad face just now, and after a while, Shi Yuan made her laugh.

Lin Yingyue came to the backyard of the paper mill all the way at this time, as Li San said, this backyard is an important place for mixing pulp, filtering wet paper, pressing and drying to make the paper form...... This is because Shi Yuan misunderstood Li San.

Although there are few papermakers in the backyard of this paper mill, the identities of these people are particularly important, and they are directly managed by the Lin family on weekdays...... After Lin Yingyue asked a few people, she found the old man of Nangong who was busy mixing pulp.

"Grandpa Nangong, I've come to see you!" Lin Yingyue said happily to the old man who was busy working beside a wooden barrel.

When the old man heard this, he put down the work in his hand and looked up at Lin Yingyue. But I saw that although the old man was full of white hair and his back was slightly hunched, his face was still ruddy and his eyes were bright.

"It turned out to be a girl who reflects the moon! Are you back from Yangzhou? The old man smiled slightly and said to Lin Yingyue.

"Hmmm! I just came back yesterday and happened to come to the paper mill today. Lin Yingyue replied briskly.

"Really? It's a shame that you girl still remembers my old bones......"

"Grandpa Nangong will talk nonsense, I see that you are strong, where are you old? I didn't just come back to see you! ”

When the old man Nangong heard this, he replied with a smile: "You girl, you can speak...... I didn't encounter anything unhappy when I went to Yangzhou this time, right!? ”

When Lin Yingyue heard this, her face sank at first, and then she immediately recovered: "It's not a big deal to go to Yangzhou this time...... It's just a little trouble. But back to Jinling, I met a nasty guy! Lin Yingyue said, and couldn't help but think of Shi Yuan, who made her cry twice, so she added viciously.

"Oh? Who upset the girl Yingyue? You tell Grandpa, I'll go to the man to settle the score? When the old man Nangong heard Lin Yingyue's answer, he was a little surprised: he watched Lin Yingyue grow up, although this girl was a little soft-hearted, but she was very shrewd and had the means to do things, so she was in charge of many business affairs of the Lin family at a young age. Anyone dares to mess with her? The old man Nangong thought in his heart, so he asked.

"Humph! The man didn't mention it! Grandpa Nangong, I'm here to tell you something, just ......" Lin Yingyue snorted, but avoided the topic and told the old man Nangong what he had just done outside the paper workshop.

The old man of Nangong listened to Lin Yingyue's words, but the more he listened, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't help but shout: "There is such a thing!" This Li San is really getting more and more excessive! Hmph......"

"Grandpa Nangong, you don't have to be angry, I have already punished Li San...... He still has some ability, so he won't press him too hard. ”

"That's good! Since you've already taken action, I, an old bone, don't bother to care about this kind of thing...... You just said that you want me to be the owner of the workshop? ”

"Exactly...... Grandpa Nangong, at present, the Lin family's business affairs are not going well, and this paper mill is the top priority, so only you can take on this important responsibility...... I know that Grandpa Nangong is bothered by these trivial matters, and I just want you to come forward and suppress those small things in the paper mill a little! I'll take care of those business matters, but if there's a fire in this backyard......"

"In that case...... Anyway, my old bones are still a little majestic in the paper mill! I promised you the moon girl! The old man agreed unequivocally.

"Yingyue, thank you Grandpa Nangong! I knew that Grandpa Nangong was the best! ”

"You bastard...... I'm going to go out and see the rough pulp that gets into the water! The old man Nangong walked outside as he spoke, and Lin Yingyue followed closely.

Outside the workshop, those papersmiths and workers were still busy with their own work, but Shi Yuan and Li San were still standing next to those pulp barrels, and of course, Li Maomao also followed behind Shi Yuan.

Seeing Lin Yingyue and the old man of Nangong coming, Li San, who was the first to react, hurriedly bowed down and said, "Young Miss...... Mr. Nangong ......"

"Humph!" When the old man Nangong heard Lin San's greeting, he snorted heavily, ignored him, and just turned to look at the pails that had entered the rain. He stirred a few times with the bamboo slices soaked in the rough pulp, then frowned, and said for a long time: "These rough pulps can't be used, let people take out the raw materials and pour out these buckets of rough pulp!" ”

After the old man Nangong finished speaking, he was about to ask someone to pour out the buckets of rough pulp, but Li Maomao on the side cried again when he heard it: "It's all ...... It's all my fault...... I...... I ......" she sobbed, speechless for a moment.

Shi Yuan heard Li Maomao crying, so he hurriedly comforted Li Maomao: "Don't cry, I have a way not to pour out those rough pulps!" ”

"Really...... Are you sure? Brother Shi Yuan. When the little girl heard this, she opened her eyes and asked Shi Yuan. She cried several times just now, and the gray marks on her face had already been washed away by tears, and just when she cried again, her original appearance was revealed: trembling long eyelashes, under the curved willow eyebrows, her pupils were clear and bright, although there were still some gray marks on her face, but the fair and flawless skin could be seen very clearly...... Cute Lori...... This is Shi Yuan's evaluation when he saw Li Maomao's true appearance.

"But if you cry again, I can't help it!" Shi Yuan said to Li Maomao, who was still choking.

"How are you the same as Miss Shao...... I don't cry anymore. Li Maomao heard Shi Yuan's words, and said softly with a face full of grievances.

Li Maomao's words were not loud, but they still fell in Lin Yingyue's ears, so Lin Yingyue's face flushed, and she bit her lip and glared fiercely at Shi Yuan, who was squatting on the ground...... Shi Yuan didn't see Lin Yingyue's small movements, he got up and walked to the side of the old man Nangong, and said, "Old Mr. Nangong, it's really a pity that these rough pulps are poured, can't you continue to use them again?" ”

Nangong Rong, as an old man in the Lin family's paper mill, is very obsessed with papermaking. He followed his father to the Lin family's paper mill since he was a child, and when his father died, he was invited by Lin Chengming to work in the paper mill. He likes to study papermaking, and over the years, he has improved a lot of pulp ingredients, and Lin Chengming is also very important to him......

Now he is very old, but he is very confident in his papermaking skills! Just now he looked at those rough slurries, and according to his own inference, there was no way to remedy how much rain these rough slurry entered! That's why he had the rough pulp poured out. But what he didn't expect was that the "Brother Gongzi" in front of him, who he hadn't cared about since he came, questioned him! He couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, but at the same time, he also had a little bit of anticipation.

"Who are you? What are you doing in this Lin family's paper mill? Nangong Rong didn't answer Shi Yuan at first, but asked about Shi Yuan's identity.

"That...... Mr. Nangong, I'm Old Man Lin...... Ah, no! That friend of Lin Lao, my name is Shi Yuan, and I am now being entrusted by Lin Lao to give Miss Lin a hand. ”

Shi Yuan...... I heard that the young master ...... The old lady saved a strange teenager on the side of the road a month ago, could it be you? Nangong Rong heard Shi Yuan's words, but he frowned, and then asked.

"Exactly the kid...... But I'm not surprised at all. Shi Yuan said with a grin.

"Humph! I don't know if you're strange, but what are you doing here? Nangong Rong was still a little reluctant.

"Well, I just said...... I was asked by Mr. Lin to follow Miss Lin and help her do something! ”

When Nangong Rong heard Shi Yuan's words, he was slightly puzzled, turned his head to look at Lin Yingyue, and saw Lin Yingyue nodding. Only then did he turn around and say to Shi Yuan: "Even so, you can't come to the paper shop to make trouble!" ”

Shi Yuan couldn't help but smile and thought: This old man is really an old stubborn! Then he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Nangong, I didn't make trouble, but it's a pity that these rough pulps are poured ......."

"These rough slurries have entered the rain, and the amount of water is different, which is difficult to remedy, and it is useless to keep them!"

"Not necessarily, but the kid has some ways to ......"

"Tell the truth! I, Nangong Rong, have been making paper for so many years, and there is no way, what can you pay attention to? Nangong Rong smiled contemptuously at Shi Yuan's words and shouted.

"That's it, that's it...... Mr. Nangong can't help it, what can you pay attention to? I think you're clearly just talking! Li San on the side was also sarcastic, but he was glared at fiercely by Nangong Rong and Lin Yingyue, and he didn't dare to speak again for a while.

"Shi Yuan, don't be reckless, Uncle Nangong has said that there is no way, you ......" Lin Yingyue on the side also opened her mouth to persuade Shi Yuan.

Shi Yuan gave up and said to Nangong Rong: "Nangong senior, these rough pulps are going to be poured out anyway, why don't you let me try it?" Maybe the kid stumbled into it by mistake? ”

"In that case, let you give it a try! If you really have a way, I, Nangong Rong, will call you a teacher! If you don't say anything, I'll ...... Knock you out of this paper mill! Nangong Rong didn't believe that Shi Yuan would have any way, but he still had a little expectation, so he opened his mouth and said to Shi Yuan.

"Grandpa Nangong...... Shi Yuan ...... "When Lin Yingyue saw Nangong Rong's real character, she couldn't help but be a little worried in her heart......

"Yingyue girl, you don't have to say much, I want to see what this kid is capable of!" Nangong Rong was already iron-hearted at this time.

"Miss Lin don't have to worry, since I, Shi Yuan, have already said it, naturally there is a way!" Shi Yuan looked full of confidence.

"Phew! Whoever wants to worry about you, when you lose, I will be the first to kick you out with a stick! When Lin Yingyue heard Shi Yuan's words, her face turned red and she reprimanded.

"Brother Shi Yuan, I believe in you!" Shi Yuan looked down, but saw Li Maomao tugging at his sleeve, staring at him, clenching his fists and saying to himself......
