00:32What do you want?
00:33Boss, do you have any good ink for writing? We'd like to buy some.
00:40Three taels of silver
00:41Three taels of silver is so expensive.
00:44If you think it's too expensive, go out and collect some ashes to write on.

00:54Can I buy it now?
01:03Yes, yes.
01:06Look!

01:11Worried about watching
01:12Its body is engraved with fine cloud patterns.
01:14The fine lines have a faint scent of pine smoke.
01:16It is a medium to high grade of pine soot.
01:22This ink stick is three times more expensive than mine; it's incredibly valuable.
01:25The cheapest ink will do.
01:27This one is fine.
01:28Wrap it up for us
01:29Okay, please wait a moment, sir.
01:32Come
01:35for you
01:40How can a scholar be without ink?
01:42Only words written with fine ink can truly shine; that's what makes you worthy of it.
01:46Wishing you success in the Spring Examination this year and that all your wishes come true!
01:52Little brother, thank you.
01:56Brother, go study! Don't waste time.
02:03Boss, give me another piece of pine soot.
02:06good
02:10Objective, please take this.
02:13You don't write often, why would you buy ink?
02:16With the Spring Festival approaching, prices in Mo have also risen sharply.
02:19I'll make some ink and sell it; I'm sure I can get a good price for it.
02:23Xiao Bao, you really love making money!
02:28Let's go
02:30Come again next time!
02:35The most commonly used type of pine soot nowadays is this kind.
02:37Inexpensive and easy to make
02:41The other type is cooking oil dust.
02:43Made from top-grade wood, burned to ash
02:46It is made by adding high-quality cowhide glue and various rare medicinal materials.
02:51They all use wealthy families or high-ranking officials and nobles.
02:54The method of making it is not difficult.
02:56So, should we make pine soot or cooking soot?
02:59If you're going to do it, do it the best.
03:02However, the top-grade wood and rare medicinal materials used to make soot powder...
03:07Where should I look?
03:09How about we go check out the back mountain?
03:11Let's go to the back mountain.
03:18What's wrong with Big Yellow?
03:19There seems to be danger ahead. I smell blood.
03:23Let's go take a look ahead.
03:31Little bunny, can you understand what I'm saying?
03:33I can understand you. Are you here to save me?
03:37Yes, I'm here to save you. Don't move anymore.
03:39The more I move, the tighter I clamp down when I say "grip".
03:43Let me help you untie it.
03:53You stay seated and don't move. I'll pick some herbs for you to apply.
04:06Little rabbit, I've come to the back mountain in search of top-quality timber and rare medicinal herbs.
04:12Do you know where I can find it?
04:13I know you're coming with me.
04:20Come quick, this is it!
04:23This pine tree... this pine tree... it's in a forest that's at least a hundred years old!
04:26It can definitely be called top-grade wood.
04:43There are also trees here, and they smell very good.
04:46I've never seen this tree before.
04:50The trunk is thick and the bark has unusual textures.
04:53There was also a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance.
04:59Could this be the Dragon Brain Incense Technique?
05:01Ink made from camphor
05:03Even in modern times
05:05It can also fetch millions at auction.
05:09Old Man called the Number One Product Under Heaven
05:11There was a saying at the time that gold was easy to obtain but hard to find.
05:20Little bunny, thank you.
05:22I never expected to find camphor here!
05:25Thank you.
05:26I dare thank you; you saved me.
05:29I'll leave now if there's nothing else.
05:30Okay, goodbye.
05:31Okay, goodbye.
05:31Okay, goodbye.
05:32Okay, goodbye.
