Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 207 Movable Type Printing
The next day, Yun Yiyi went to the county again, this time she went alone, and she cooked the food first in the morning, and carefully told Yan Qinghe not to move anything.

The rice has been steamed a long time ago, and with the lid on, the heat will not seep out, and it is steaming hot.

She is still stewing a soup, which will not be cold for a while.

Yan Qinghe was a little helpless, but still nodded. In order not to make Yun Yiyi work so hard, he would occasionally cook, even though Yun Yiyi objected every time.

She always seemed to think that he was prone to accidents, but in fact not only him, even Yan Xiaoshuang could cook when he stepped on a stool.

But after Yun Yiyi came back, she put an end to this dangerous situation.

She didn't allow the cubs to touch the fire, and she didn't allow them to touch the boiling water. After taking care of the small ones, she started to take care of the big ones, and she didn't allow Yan Qinghe to get close to the fire.In short, during this critical period, don't let him touch it.

In fact, Yan Qinghe was so stupid, but Yun Yiyi refused, he just sighed and stopped approaching the kitchen.

As the weather warmed up, when Yun Yiyi came to the county town this time, she found that there were vendors who had put their things out. In fact, they had done so before, but they just opened the shop, but now they moved out directly.

She didn't go to the house in a hurry, but came down and turned around. Considering the ox cart, she didn't dare to go too far.

Someone nearby put out some jewelry. In fact, the shop that sold jewelry last time was also opened, but Yun Yiyi brought two cubs, so it was not easy to go in, and she didn't plan to buy it.

But when there were ready-made ones displayed today, she went to have a look.

There was no one in front of the stall, probably because of the lack of people.

As soon as Yun Yiyi came to the front, a clerk came out of the shop, and when he saw the customer, he put on a smile on his face: "Madam, these are all things brought from overseas, see if you like anything."

Yun Yiyi just looked around casually, the things that are placed outside are actually processed products, and the real good things are all placed in the shop.

But she didn't really plan to buy any jewelry, it was because of her daughter's family's thoughts, she just wanted to go shopping.

There are everything on this stall, from jade articles to necklaces, from prayer beads to earrings.The materials used are basically jade and wood.

Some of the ornaments were still covered with a layer of dust, it could be seen that they were old items, not very valuable, in short, they were not in good condition.

She picked up a piece of jade and looked at it, and the clerk immediately said: "Madam has good eyesight, this is a good item, and our shopkeeper finally bought it from overseas."

Yun Yiyi shook her head, and picked up another piece of jade. She also found this kind of scene interesting. If it was so expensive, why would it be placed outside.

But it's just some leftovers, worthless.

As far as jade is concerned, it is definitely not as good as gold and silver. The price of gold and silver is there. This high-quality jade can be sold for a sky-high price, while this low-quality jade is only worth a few pennies.

The guy saw that although she didn't speak, she was well dressed and her face was bright and attractive, and she was not easy to be fooled at first glance, so he stopped making exaggerated sales.

In the end, Yun Yiyi picked a few pieces of good-looking jade, and the price was not expensive, the cheap ones were only a few pennies, and the expensive ones were only more than [-] pennies.

Each piece is light green with a white cloud-like wavy pattern floating in it. Although the texture is not very good to the touch, Yun Yiyi still likes it.

After leaving the vendor, she ran directly to the house, and didn't intend to notify the book shop.

Anyway, she had already been here last time, and she expected that these people must know her, so she didn't rush.

As a result, not long after entering, someone came forward, "Mrs. Yun, the fat and paper ashes you asked to prepare last time have all been purchased, and all the engraved characters have been fired."

Yun Yiyi glanced at him, feeling a little familiar, probably the person standing next to him last time.

She nodded, and when she walked to the previous room, two people brought up the things, which were the fired movable type, and the things she asked them to prepare.

She nodded, touched the clay, the font was prominent, and she felt a little bit restless.

"That's right, you can make a wooden grid in the future, then put these characters in it, and stick a note on the outside to mark it." Yun Yiyi said.

This is for the convenience of picking characters when printing in the future.In fact, these people didn't understand much, but they tried their best to keep it in their hearts. After all, this is what they need to do later.

She looked up and found that one of them was recording.

Yun Yiyi said: "Don't worry now, I will say it again later."

On the first day, they were not familiar with her. After the second time, everyone knew her, and naturally they also listened to her.

There were too many people, and Yun Yiyi couldn't remember so many people, so she called the person who carved the characters last time, and asked her to watch her make the potion, just mix it with turpentine, wax and paper ash. It doesn't need to be complicated.

She picked out some words this time and said to them: "Now is the printing process, please watch carefully."

Everyone was still a little dazed. Ji's family had invited so many people. It seemed that they needed to do a lot of work. Many people outside had no work to do. They didn't expect to start printing now.

They were also ordered before, and they thought it would take at least a while, but they started printing books now?It's unbelievable.

Yun Yiyi doesn't care what they think, anyway, she just needs to teach one person, the ancients have similar thinking, let one person understand, and then let him pass it on to others, it is naturally more efficient than she tells everyone.

She asked the people next to her to watch carefully, took the iron plate with a frame on the side, coated it with a layer of potion, and then selected some movable type and put them into the frame one by one, and a frame was filled to form a plate. At this time, it was roasted with fire again, and after the medicine melted, the font was flattened with a flat plate.

"After the potion cools and solidifies, it will become a version." Yun Yiyi said, she looked at the person next to her and asked, "Do you understand?"

This process is not complicated, what is complicated is actually the principle, for example, the making of this potion is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But in practice, anyone can do it.

Even so, someone carefully documented the steps.

"understood."

Hearing this voice, Yun Yiyi felt relieved, and blew on the pattern. She asked someone to bring paper and ink, brushed a layer of ink on the pattern, and then covered it with a piece of paper, and the printing was finished.

The font is printed on the white paper, which looks clean and neat.

Some people here have participated in the production of engraving and printing, so they don't find it strange, but some newcomers bow their heads to observe, and find it very interesting.

Is this over?

So fast?
The words that Yun Yiyi arranged on it didn't make any sense at all. If it was a printing technique, someone would be required to select the words and form all the words into the content of the book before it could be printed.

They also gradually understood what she meant, why make a wooden box, put all these words in, and mark them out, only in this way can they find the words.

Yun Yiyi pointed to a person, who was the one who carved the letters before: "If you want to print a book, follow this method. If someone doesn't understand, you can tell them."

"Yes, Mrs. Yun."

Yun Yiyi tilted her head, always felt that it was weird for them to call her that way, as if they called her several years older, but after thinking about it, she couldn't find a good name, so she acquiesced.

She came slowly when she came, and now she patted the non-existent ashes on her robe, feeling that she had completed the task.

She was about to leave, when the shopkeeper came in through the door, and when he saw her, he wanted to order someone to serve tea.

Last time she came here in a hurry, there was no food in the house, and he was considered a genius, after Yun Yiyi left, he asked someone to buy tea and snacks for preparation.

Yun Yiyi shook her head: "No, I'm going to leave. I don't need to drink this tea. I've already told them the method. You can print the book now."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't care less about the greetings. Last time Yun Yiyi stayed for a long time. He thought it was the same this time. Someone came to inform him just now that he had settled an account in his hand, so he rushed over .

As a result, it's over here.

He was a little dazed: "Is it all right now?"

Yun Yiyi nodded: "Yes, any book can be printed now, but in order to prevent encountering uncommon characters, it is still necessary to bring the master who engraved the characters."

The shopkeeper didn't watch their printing process, and didn't understand. He scanned around the people inquiringly, and the engraving master who had been standing beside Yun Yiyi came out: "Okay," he glanced at the shopkeeper, "Madam Yun Indeed, he has already told us all the methods of printing books.”

It feels like a lonely shopkeeper has come, and I feel a little bleak in my heart. Boss Ji is still outside to discuss business, and he won't be back in a while.This matter was originally brought by Boss Ji himself, and he told him a little about the deal last time, and he still doesn't understand many things.

"Boss Ji has been in the capital since the last time, and he has no way to come back recently." The shopkeeper said.

So there is actually no way to pay Yun Yiyi for the remuneration. Previously, Boss Ji probably meant to let Yun Yiyi supervise the workers' work, and then teach them by hand, and pay her monthly wages.

However, Yun Yiyi rejected the request of this kind of work system. She still has two cubs, so naturally she has to go back to take care of them, and they don't know movable type printing, but she understands the principle, there is no need to Guard the workers.

Now they can print books, but to be on the safe side, let them make the wooden grid first, and then put the movable type inside, so that it will be clear at a glance, thereby increasing the speed of printing books.

"It's okay, Boss Ji and I are also acquaintances, let's talk about it after he comes back. This is something I promised Boss Ji, and I won't break my promise." She originally wanted to leave directly, but after thinking about it, she asked again: "I don't live here, and I won't come here often. If you have any questions, you can ask me now."

In fact, all the movable type has been made, and there is no possibility of any problems, as long as the book is printed according to her method.

But the engraving master really had some questions, for example, he asked what the potion was for.

Yun Yiyi blinked and didn't explain to him, but just told him to remember the steps. She was very patient and said it again, and he carefully recorded it on the paper.

She glanced at the other party's handwriting, and felt a little ashamed. Not only did the other party engrave the words well, but the handwriting was also beautiful.

In fact, anyone who can write in this era has learned it for a few years, so the handwriting is naturally standard.

Like Yun Yiyi, who can't even hold a brush to a standard, there is no need to compare.

The shopkeeper has always been in a daze. Before Boss Ji left, he said to leave this matter to him temporarily. He knew that Boss Ji attached great importance to Yun Yiyi, and he also knew the importance of this matter.

It's fine if it fails, but if it succeeds, it must not be publicized. After all, this is also a secret of the Ji family and needs to be kept private.

He had never dealt with such a big matter before, and wanted to impress Boss Ji, but he hadn't even started yet, Yun Yiyi had already finished.

This feeling is somewhat complicated.

He came a few steps late, and missed a lot unexpectedly. At this time, he had to ask the workers of Ji's house again.

"Really...you can print books?" The shopkeeper was a little unbelievable.

"It's best to wait a few days, and find someone to make a wooden box and put these characters in." The engraving master said, he paused, and had his own idea: "You can put these common characters in a wooden box. In the box, put some uncommon fonts in another wooden box, so that they can be classified in such a way that they will be easy to find when the time comes.”

He has been listening to Yun Yiyi's words and has learned a lot, so he has his own opinion.

The shopkeeper naturally has no opinion.
