After returning from the new toilet, Ed spent every day at the castle making paper with Adelaide Carly.
After the new toilets were put into use, Ed planned to use paper throughout his territory.
"Lord Edd, these tattered fishing nets and rotten tree bark are used for papermaking?"
Carly was filled with curiosity; she never imagined that such a useful piece of paper was made from these junk.
At the same time, her admiration for Ed grew stronger and stronger.
"Yes, Carly, it's really amazing, but it's your turn now."
Ed placed a log taller than the Kali people in her arms.
Carly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, and she had to use all her strength to barely keep her balance.
"Why me?"
"Because you use the most paper," Adelaide replied from beside her.
Carly pushed aside the large wooden stick in her arms, revealing her eyes so they could look at Ed.
"Could you replace it with a smaller one?"

Carly switched to a smaller stirring stick; if it were too small, it would be difficult to mash these things.
While Carly was working hard, Ed and Adelaide weren't idle either. They were both busy with their own things.
Since this batch is mainly for making toilet paper, the pulp doesn't need to be mashed too finely.
Before long, the three of them had all the work done, and all that was left was to scoop the paper out of the pulp vat.
All three of them were a little tired, so they all leaned against the side to rest.
"Lord Ed, do we get copper coins for working so hard?" Carly asked, shaking her swollen hands as she looked at Ed, who was also shaking his hands.
"No, Carly, but you can get some paper so you don't have to buy it with copper coins."
Yes,
Ed is now making paper to sell. He plans to build a larger shop next to the Peace Hotel, specifically to sell paper, gloves, clothes, boots, and the money bags he just started making, among other things.
"Lord Ed, will these papers be sold later? Can they be bought with copper coins?"
Carly was very excited; if these papers were transported to her market, they could be exchanged for a lot of copper coins.
She had initially thought these papers were for Lord Edd's castle, so it was wonderful that Lord Edd was now selling them.
"Yes, Carly, you can take them to the market to sell if you want, but I only accept silver coins! You can also buy them with your own copper coins, but you won't be able to get many. Look how tired we are."
Ed doesn't want to mass-produce paper right now because that would require cutting down a lot of trees.
He now uses the leftover bark from land reclamation, broken fishing nets, and other good fibrous materials to make things. Paper is still a high-end commodity.
Carly was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she had seen a lot of good things, and gloves were still very popular there.
"Carly, while we can't get paper, we can easily buy gloves and purses. Take a look at this."
As he spoke, Ed took out two money bags from behind his back and handed one to Adelaide.
Carly took the purse with some confusion. Didn't she already have this purse? Huh? The opening of this purse is a little different. Ah! It can be like this! Carly noticed the difference in this purse.
Adelaide received a leather money bag that looked very sturdy and durable.
She was also amazed by the ingenious design of the money bag. To take out the coins, you could simply pull the opening open and then pull the string to secure them. It was so much more convenient than her previous binding method.
"Lord Ed, how much do you sell these things? Where can I buy them?"
