Farmhouse Fubao Has Space - Chapter 332
Chapter 332 The Quill Appears
While Tong Anian explained, she continued to observe the changes in the sand and feathers. When the sand completely cooled, she pulled out the feathers.
Using a pair of sharp scissors, cut off a small section of the tip of the quill at less than a 45-degree angle to serve as a nib, similar to the nib of a pen.
After the nib is sharpened, a small hole is carved in the middle of the nib to ensure smooth flow of ink to the nib.
In order to make it easier to grasp, Tong Anyian asked Banxia to find some bamboos with the thickness of a brush. Tong Anyian picked the right ones and carefully cut them with a knife. Tong Anqi was afraid that she would hurt her hand, so he took the knife and the knife from her hand. The bamboo began to be peeled according to Tong Anian’s instructions.
After the bamboo was cut into the shape Tong Anyian needed and polished smooth, Tong Anyian took over, inserted the prepared feathers into the bamboo, and then handed it to Tong Anqi.
“Is this the quill you are talking about?” Tong Anqi looked at Tong Anyian in confusion while holding the quill.
“Yes, this is a quill, brother, try it and see if it feels comfortable to write.” Tong Anian smiled happily, but she didn’t expect that it was the first time she made it, and the first one was so perfect.
Tong Anyian was happy, but Tong Anqi, who was holding the quill pen, was a little at a loss. This pen was completely different from the ones they commonly used. He really didn’t know how to use it.
“Nian Bao’er, how do you use this?” Jinyi saw Tong Anqi’s embarrassment and spoke to help him.
Only then did Tong Anian remember that Tong Anqi and the others had never seen this kind of pen before, so naturally they didn’t know how to use it.
Tong Anyian smiled sheepishly, took the quill pen in Tong Anqi’s hand, walked to the desk, paused for a moment with the tip of the pen in the finely ground ink, and then lightly wrote a few words on the paper. Looking at the tiny words, several people were surprised. They tried one after another, but after all, they were not used to using pens like Tong Anyian, so the words they wrote were either crooked or because they used too much strength. The general tore the paper.
Even Jin Yi, who had always done everything perfectly, stumbled over this quill, and her ears turned red from embarrassment.
“Little sister, this is too difficult to write. I don’t have a writing brush yet. Can I not use it?” Tong Anle looked up at Tong Anyian pitifully. The others were also aggrieved and had the same thoughts as Tong Anle.
When I saw Tong Anian using it, it was really easy to use, the writing was smooth, and it was very effortless, but why was it completely different when it came to them?
“That’s not how you hold a pen. To hold a pen like this, don’t use too much force, otherwise the quill will be damaged. Moreover, the quill is different from the brush. You don’t need to hold it. You only need a small amount of force. Writing is very easy. You won’t feel tired for a long time.”
Tong Anyian carefully taught them how to use the quills one by one, and at the same time, he started making other quills.
The first quill pen was a success, and the rest were of course a matter of course. There was no need to think about anything anymore, just get started.
“Because it’s made of goose feathers, is it called a quill pen?” Jin Yi wrote for a while, and after getting used to it, he handed the quill pen to Tong Anqi. To be honest, he also felt that this quill pen was really easy to use. The main thing is that quill pens are cheap and easy to make.
“Yes, you can also use other feathers, such as swans, crows, and eagles, etc., but there are not many feathers on them, and I can’t catch the others. The most practical one Just goose feathers.” Tong Anyian continued to work while laughing.
Jinyi looked at Tong Anqi who was writing and the quill in his hand. Tong Annian had really good intentions. The quill was hard, which made it much easier to write and the speed was much faster. It was really good. Great.
