115 Can’t Let Madam Bai Be Disappointed

Yang Gongbing and the others walked down the hill in confusion. Yang Quanzi immediately led his men to welcome them.

Seeing Yang Quanzi’s energetic appearance, Yang Gongbing said excitedly, “Teacher! How have you been!”

Yang Quanzi smiled and raised the big carp in his hand. He laughed and said, “I’m fine! You came at the right time. Auntie Yang is going to make braised carp for everyone today. You’re in luck!”

Yang Gongbing was flattered. “Thank you, Teacher!”

!!

Yang Gongbing was a good official. He had served justice for their village and even sent them food. He was also Great Scholar Yang’s disciple.

Village Chief Zhao enthusiastically pointed at the reservoir that they had just dug and said, “Lord, our village has a fish pond now. We even bought many fishes to raise. You can eat as much as you want!”

Yang Gongbing smiled politely and said, “Thank you, Uncle. I’m here to visit Teacher. Just call me Gongbing.”

“How can that be? A lord is a lord!”

Yang Gongbing smiled and said, “Why not? I’m still Teacher’s student!”

Yang Gongbing was handsome and polite. He quickly earned everyone’s favor.

Yang Quanzi led them in the direction of his home. Along the way, they could smell the rich fragrance of wintersweet flowers. They saw flowing canals with red koi swimming in them. The back of the mountain was a continuous snowfield that had been cultivated. The hillside was connected to the flat snowfield and had been transformed into a place for children to play. Not only could they skateboard, but they could also swing there and play with sandbags. There were also people who taught children martial arts.

Bao Zhaoshan and the others who had been here previously had their mouths agape. They were even more doubtful that they had come to the same place.

Yang Gongbing looked at the unique scenery around him and praised, “The Peach Blossom Ridge is nothing much. If I didn’t have to be busy with work, I would also want to retreat here to exchange knowledge with my teacher and others.”

Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and laughed. “I also think this is Peach Blossom Ridge!”

The children who were joining in the fun shouted proudly, wanting to get Lord Yang’s approval. “The village was designed by Madam Bai and Madam Cui together. It’s very beautiful, right?”

Yang Quanzi smiled and nodded. “Madam Bai and Madam Cui are really talented!”

Yang Quanzi laughed and said, “I don’t dare to say that. Madam Bai is naturally a genius! Even I feel ashamed!”

Even Yang Quanzi was full of praises for her and claimed to be ashamed of himself. This made Yang Gongbing very curious about her.

Yang Quanzi saw through his thoughts and said. “They had gone into the mountains to catch prey. You can meet them when they come back later.”

Yang Gongbing smiled. “Thank you for the introduction, Teacher.”

Yang Gongbing suddenly saw some people operating some machines under the wooden shed in the village.

He looked over curiously. Yang Quanzi smiled and led him over. He pointed at the machine and said, “This is a paper production machine developed by Madam Bai. She also invented a unique cleaning paper.” Yang Quanzi asked secretively, “Do you want to know what cleaning paper does?”

Paper was just mainly used for writing and drawing. Yang Gongbing did not understand and gave a very standard answer. “Drawing?”

Yang Quanzi immediately gave him a look that said, “You’re usually very smart, but why are you so stupid now?”

Yang Gongbing asked humbly as usual, “I’m slow-witted. Please guide me.”

Yang Quanzi shook his head and sighed. “You’re too boring. There’s no point in keeping you in suspense.”

Yang Gongbing deliberately smiled obsequiously. “Who asked me to be stupid and not as smart as Teacher?”

This flattery made Yang Quanzi feel comfortable all over. The people behind him had faint smiles on their faces. Yang Quanzi took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve and said with a smile, “Open it and take a look.”

He was clearly talking about paper, so why did it suddenly change to the sachet? Yang Gongbing took it respectfully and carefully opened it. He found a roll of white paper inside.

Yang Gongbing had never thought that paper could be used to wipe one’s butt. He looked at the roll of paper in confusion. After unfolding it, he said foolishly, “Is it used to write couplets?”

Yang Quanzi smiled even more secretively, and Yang Gongbing’s face was filled with confusion.

Seeing that he was feeling uncomfortable from holding it in, Xu Zhiyi smiled and explained, “Cleaning paper is soft and comfortable, easily soluble in water, and clean and hygienic. The main use is to clean after using the toilet.”

The word “toilet” was like a bolt of lightning that split open Yang Quanzi’s mind.

‘Paper to wipe your arse with?’

He touched the soft paper with his hand. Certain images flashed through his mind, and he was immediately so surprised that he couldn’t speak.

Seeing his shocked expression, Yang Quanzi smiled and said, “Madam Bai’s improved paper production machine and cleaning paper are all worthy of being recorded in history!”

Hearing Yang Quanzi’s shocking affirmation, Yang Gongbing’s eyes lit up. He carefully observed the paper production machine and realized that the materials were actually wood shavings and sawdust. He immediately understood why his teacher said that Bai Wutong could be recorded in history.

The cost of cleaning paper was too low!

If it was publicized, every family would be able to use toilet paper in the future.

And the hay and bamboo slices would become history!

Yang Gongbing said excitedly, “Teacher! I…”

Before he could finish, Yang Quanzi pointed at another machine and said, “How about looking at the white paper that your senior brother and I had improvised?”

Yang Gongbing walked to the production line inside and picked up a piece of white paper that had just been produced. He carefully measured it for a while and said in surprise, “Teacher, is this also paper made of wood shavings?”

Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and smiled. “Of course!”

Yang Gongbing was filled with excitement that he said “good” three times in a row. “Good! Good! That’s too good! Teacher and Senior Brother used wood shavings to create snow-like white paper. It will definitely be recorded in the history books and leave its name forever!”

Yang Quanzi and Xu Zhiyi immediately shook their heads. “This is all thanks to Madam Bai. If not for the paper production machine that Madam Bai researched and the formula for Madam Bai’s cleaning paper, we wouldn’t have thought of researching it and might not have succeeded. Therefore, this is all thanks to Madam Bai!”

Yang Gongbing held the white paper and sighed. “Teacher, you’re too humble! If you didn’t do it, how could such a piece of cheap paper have been produced!”

Yang Quanzi insisted, “That’s all because of Madam Bai.”

The more Yang Quanzi said this, the more it showed how much respect he had for Bai Wutong. Yang Gongbing wished he could have a good chat with this Madam Bai now.

Yang Gongbing told Yang Quanzi that he wanted to report the toilet paper and white paper to the Imperial Court.

However, Yang Quanzi’s expression turned solemn. He shook his head and said, “Everything depends on Madam Bai. Even if Madam Bai agrees, we have to test the Imperial Court’s intentions first.”

Sheng Huaixuan’s encounter made them wary of the Ling Kingdom’s Imperial Court. It did not matter to them, but they could not disappoint Madam Bai.

Yang Gongbing immediately understood what Yang Quanzi meant. He was afraid that the Ling Kingdom’s Imperial Court would take possession of the formula and seek personal benefits, and not use it to benefit the people.

He was even more worried that he would cause trouble for Bai Wutong or after reporting it to the imperial court, someone else would replace him and take away Madam Bai’s credit and honor.
