Chapter 126

When a snowstorm comes, they can be used to kill time while people have to stay in the house . I may get bored if I keep doing handiwork only . Poor people do handiwork to earn some small change . But what do the rich people do in winter?



"No matter what we make, ink is necessary . So I want to make it as soon as possible . "

"You said that you want to make another ink at ink workshop, right?"

"Yes . If the ink is made through a method completely different from that of other workshops, we will not need permission to make it, nor will I be complained by others, right?"

If the method is kept secret, or made it in a workshop with the association's permission, there is a risk that it may get help up by contract magic . If I make it myself and violate anything, I may be penalized .

Indeed . People do not know the method . Because it's new to here, you won't get held up by contract magic, nor do you need anyone's permission . You can just sneer, even if someone complains . But because you said something extra to the boss of ink workshop, some people have been gathering here for feeler or information . . . "

"Ah? Did I say anything unnecessary?"

It's weird, because I just said very few necessary things for explanation . While I tilt my head to the side, I catch a sharp eye of Mr . Benno .

"You did not only tell him do you know how to make the ink he is making, but also said you know other inks . That's the extra thing you have done!"

"Eh . But the current ink production method is specified to the certain ink type . As the information on new ink type, I think it is necessary for his mental preparedness . For me, if I can succeed, I will sell the method according to the rules of ink association and have it mass-produced . So what I said are not really extra things . "

Mr . Benno frowns and holds his temples . After shaking his head several times as if to say that he cannot understand, he stared at me with his sharp eyes .

"Wait a minute . Do you mean to sell the method to the ink association?"

"Right . So, when Mr . Benno established the botanical paper association, was it pretty hard to get over the vested interests? Even now, Mr . Otto, who is still assisting you, is making efforts with a side job as a soldier, right? You have spread too thin to have enough employees, right? So it's impossible to establish a new association according to the method of making ink . If anyone wants to do it, then leave all the decision-making to him . "

The Botanical Paper Association was created without my knowing it, and they still have enough hands, so I give up my hope to take part in .

However, I've heard from Lutz that in order to establish Botanical Paper Association and workshops in other cities, Mr . Benno asked his relatives for help, and that was a very tough thing to do . Even the Italian restaurant, which is opened to compete against Ilse, has made a foray into a non-specialized business . So Mark complained it was quite difficult . On top of this, I think it is reckless to establish a new ink association .

" . . . Sometimes I get a headache when I hear your opinion . What do you think of the benefits?"

"But I'm not a merchant, I'm only a priestess apprentice right? If you make a few inks at Maine's Workshop, it won't attract too much attention . It's better for you to spread out the process method to make it in various places and lower the unit price .

Lutz, who is listening to the conversation between Mr . Benno and me, sighs slightly . And the digressed topic returns to the main subject .



"Miss Maine, boss, how about discussing the ink business after the ink is completed? What do you need to make the ink?"

"Well, I think of some things that are likely to be ink, like 'Chinese ink', 'oil-based paint', 'Gutenberg ink', 'Crayon' . But among them, only 'Crayon' is not suitable for engraving . For the time being, I'll make it later . "

"As always, I cannot understand the explanation of Maine . So, what should I prepare?"


I look down at my tablet .

"Though the pigment is the material for making colors, the most easily obtained pigment for making black is soot . If we use soot as material, any ink will be black . So, let's collect it . "

To make the Chinese ink, we should mix soot, glue and perfume then knead them . To make oil-based paint, we should knead soot and dry oil . To make initial printing inks of high viscosity, which I call "Gutenberg Ink" for convenience, we should use boiled linseed oil and soot .

"I know that to make 'Chinese ink', we can use sesame oil, and soot extracted from rapeseed oil or extracted from pine soot . It's trial product this time, so I don't have to be too particular about it . For the time being, we can collect the soot when we clean up the furnace and chimney . . . We also did this last year, right?"

I recall the day when my mother wore a suite and cleaned the chimney in order to make a charcoal pencil . As a result, Lutz cleaned his house in order to get enough soot .

"Oh, that’s a great job . Besides, your mothers will also be very happy for you . It's good that we can collect all the materials, right?"



"If that's the case, there is soot in my house . So come and clean it!"

Mr . Benno takes a shrewd ride . We have to clean the chimneys and furnaces before winter comes . It would be nice if we can collect enough materials .

"Will Mr . Benno pay the fees for cleaning the chimney?"

"Oh, you get more soot easily, right?"

Mr . Benno smiles cunningly as if he is planning something . It’s nice if we could collect enough materials, though I do not know how much we would get .

"What will you do after you get the soot? What else do you need?"

 "Collecting soot", Lutz writes on his tablet and looks at me . I look down at my tablet and confirm that the soot and glue are needed for making ink .

"The next is glue, right? Glue is a powerful paste . It can be taken from the skin and bone marrow of cattle, pigs or other animals . Besides, it is also used to knead the soot for making ink . I also used to stable the covers when I make books . "

"Well, animal skin and bone marrow . . . It will be the time to prepare for the coming winter soon, if you process pork at orphanage, you we collect enough skin and bone marrow, righ?"

"Hmm . . . Yeah . "

I remember one day I saw pigs were chopped and hung up in a rural area, I flinched for a moment . But now I'm used to it, I think that I can endure losing my mind or crying . However, I am too weak to chop the meat . So I almost lose my patient .

"Process pork at orphanage? Have you ever done this before?"

Mr . Benno tilts his head . I have tried to imagine that before .

For children of the orphanage, the food they eat is always by God's grace, and they have even never seen the kalfe potatoes, let alone the experience of pork processing .

"No, never . "

"If so, I will also prepare for the coming winter, so shall we order for the orphanage together?"

"Thank you for your help! Thank you very much . "
