Chapter 1153 - Making Paper (3) (2/2)
As expected of a snake beastman who had inherited countless generations of memories, Curtis thought about it before saying, “There’s a kind of white rock deep underground that can turn murky water clear. However, the taste of the water wouldn’t be good and can’t be consumed. However, it should be fine to use it to turn things white.”
Bai Qingqing was elated and grabbed his hand agitatedly, saying, “Where can we find them? You guys mine every day. Are there any in the vicinity?”
Winston suddenly said, “I saw this same type of rock before, but I’m not sure if it’s the right one. I’ll go dig some right away.”
“Alright, alright, alright!” Bai Qingqing nodded. So that Winston would hurry there, she squeezed toward the stove, planning to take over his job.
Winston smiled and got up to leave.
By the time he came back, they had already processed all the pulp and were just waiting for him.
“Is this it?” Winston brought back a big piece of snow-white rock. Its quality was very crisp, and it smashed into a few pieces after being thrown to the ground.
Bai Qingqing got close and took a whiff. The smell was a little piercing, smelling a little like disinfectant for tap water, but many times more piercing. Just smelling the scent from the surface of the rock pricked Bai Qingqing’s nose.
Curtis broke a piece and looked at it carefully. “This should be it.”
After saying that, he walked over to the processed pulp and placed the piece of fist-sized rock into the basin.
There were a total of three basins of pulp. Seeing that Curtis placed the rocks into two of them, Bai Qingqing hesitated for a moment before stopping him from adding it into the third basin.
“Let’s leave this basin as is and use it directly,” Bai Qingqing said.
Curtis drew his hand back. “Should we steam or bake them?”
Bai Qingqing pouted, then analyzed. “The paper I want is dry, so steaming won’t work. The product from baking is very similar, so let’s just leave them to dry this time around.”
Parker nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
With things coming to a close, Bai Qingqing smiled, feeling comforted.
