Song Dynasty - Frozen Domain Chapter 113 Improving Movable Type Printing
As soon as the child heard Shu Mingxuan mention the wooden block word seal, he shouted, "The wooden block word print...... I want a wooden block print!"
"Why do you want a word print?" Shu Mingxuan frowned.
"No matter, I just want you to promise to do three things for me. The child looked at Shu Mingxuan pitifully.
Okay, since you promised to help do three things, if you don't do it, Xiao Zhengtai will cry, make trouble and hang herself. In desperation, Shu Mingxuan had no choice but to go to the printing shop, and when he saw that no one was there, Shu Mingxuan took some wooden block lettering in the shop.
"Wow, that's great! With the wooden block lettering, you can dip it in ink and go to war, and Po will be covered in 'pigs' and 'stupid' or something...... Ha ha. The wooden block was printed in his hand, and the child was very excited.
Shu Mingxuan smiled: "This bear kid is quite good at playing...... Then he picked up the slingshot, looked at it, and said, "What are you engraved on the slingshot? A dog and an egg?"
"That's the horse and the sun! It's my nameβSima Guang. Sima Guang complained.
Shu Mingxuan smiled: "It turns out that Sima Guang was so mischievous when he was a child, and he suddenly felt that I was a model boy before, haha." β
Sima Guang tinkered with the wooden block lettering, and said, "This wooden block printing is not enough, go and help me get some more." β
"That's the third thing. β
Shu Mingxuan smiled and made a "three" gesture to Sima Guang, and ran away, leaving Sima Guang alone in a messy manner.
Sima Guang, who loves mischief so much, can even go to textbooks, and sure enough, history can't be believed!
Shu Mingxuan came to the printing shop again, but this time his luck was not good. Just as he took some character seals and was about to leave, he was discovered by the old man.
"Stop!Who dares to steal the word seal from my shop!" The old man grabbed Shu Mingxuan angrily.
"It's not good, it's been discovered...... Don't slap your face!" Shu Mingxuan panicked a little.
"Hey, why are you?" the old man couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that it was Shu Mingxuan.
"Hey, hey, hey, we're meeting again. Shu Mingxuan smiled embarrassedly.
"The wooden block words I got last time quickly wore out again. As the number one skill in the world, I must come up with a solution!ahahaha!" the old man laughed to himself.
Shu Mingxuan thought for a while and said, "Grandpa Bi...... Uh, no, Grandpa Bi, could it be Bi Sheng who improved movable type printing?"
Bi Sheng: "Improving Movable Type Printing...... Well, I've figured out a way to help me get some wet dirt. β
Bi Sheng told Shu Mingxuan that there is a snow near the West Lake, and when the snow melts into the soil, it becomes wet soil. So Shu Mingxuan went to the West Lake to collect some wet soil.
"With my eyesight as the best skill in the world, I can see at once that this soil must be loose and loose when burned, and I can't make an impression. Bi Sheng looked at the wet soil picked by Shu Mingxuan, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Shu Mingxuan: "...... This, I can also see, is such a thin mud. β
Bi Sheng nodded: "Well, you have the potential to become a famous skill." Recently, some inexplicable animals have appeared outside the West Lake, and they may be able to get some glue on their bodies to increase the stickiness of the soil. β
Although the West Lake has been frozen and the scenery is beautiful, it is rarely visited, because there is a group of Jiao monsters here, which are very ferocious, and if you are not careful, you will become a ghost in their hands.
Shu Mingxuan fought with these West Lake Jiao Monsters, collected some Jiao Monster Essence, and hurriedly rushed back to the printing shop.
Bi Sheng frowned: "With my sense of smell as the number one skill in the world, I can smell it at once, and if this thing is added to the impression, it will definitely smoke people to death." β
β...... I can smell this, too, and I pinched my nose all the way over. Shu Mingxuan's face was almost green.
Bi Sheng said with a smile: "The old man is really right, you are not a famous skill, who is a famous skill." β
Shu Mingxuan was shocked: "I...... I don't have your old famous skills, your old family is famous skills. β
Bi Sheng: "Hehe, young man, it's good to know how to be humble, and you have to be confident once in a while." There is a strange big fish at the bottom of West Lake, and I believe that with your skills, it will be easy to get the fish glue on them. β
At the bottom of the lake, it seems that the water avoidance trick that has not been used for a long time has come in handy again.
smashed a big hole in the ice of the West Lake, and Shu Mingxuan took Xiao Hei to dive into the West Lake together.
The mutated fish essence is very skilled, Shu Mingxuan killed a few, took the mutated fish gelatin from them, and went back to hand it over.
"Although these fish gelatins are a little fishy, they smell much better than the things on that Jiao's body. Shu Mingxuan handed over the mutated fish glue to Bi Sheng.
Bi Sheng took it and poured it into a bucket: "Add these glues to the mud, stir, stir, stir again." β
Shu Mingxuan looked at Bi Sheng's actions and rolled his eyes: "Gross, this color, this smell, I'm going to spit it out." β
Bi Sheng glanced at him: "Young man, you still lack experience, that's why I'm the number one skill in the world and you're not." β
β...... I don't want this title. Shu Mingxuan hurriedly shook his head.
Bi Sheng: "By the way, if you want to glue movable type to the printing plate, you still need some resin, you can help get some." β
Shu Mingxuan looked at Grandpa Bi...... Grandpa Bi's appearance of struggling to stir the thin mud felt that the world's number one mechanic was still given to him.
Found a large willow tree, on which a piece of resin had condensed, Shu Mingxuan collected the resin.
But there was a glittering thing in the middle of the resin, and when you looked closely, it turned out to be a fragment of the sky.
Shu Mingxuan carefully took out the fragments of the sky, and then went back to hand the resin to Bi Sheng.
I saw that Bi Sheng was tinkering for a while, and he improved the movable type printing technique.
Bi Sheng tried his results and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, I really deserve to be the number one skill in the world, this kind of clay movable type printing is much more durable and durable than the previous woodblock." β
"Weakly ask, can I go?" Shu Mingxuan asked cautiously on the side.
"I think you have a lot of talent in this area, how about staying, maybe you can inherit my career in the future and become a famous skill. Bi Sheng looked at Shu Mingxuan with a smile.
"I don't want to ......," Shu Mingxuan hurriedly shook his head.
"It's a pity. I'm useless with those wooden block prints, so take them if you want. Bi Sheng waved his hand.
handed the wooden block character seal to Sima Guang, Sima Guang rolled his eyes: "Let you get a few character prints, for so long." β
"Well, you dare to say that I was almost captured as a thief. Anyway, I've been there for so long, are you just standing here in a daze like this?" Shu Mingxuan was a little angry.
Sima Guang: "No, I'm playing hide and seek with Ah Bao and them." β
"I miss it so much, when I was a child, I liked to play hide and seek the most, and when others hid it, I went home for dinner. Shu Mingxuan's mind flew.
Sima Guang: "They've been hiding for a day, it's not early now, it's time to go home, let's go find them." β
