Chapter 030: Porter Lin Wan'er
Yang Erxi went to Jinan Mansion for three days and came back, Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen also brought a lot of talents needed for printing, most of these people are refugees from Shanxi, because they are grateful for what Lin Wan'er did, so they spontaneously organized themselves to follow Liu and Shen to the capital. Liu Hongda also ordered people to bring a large amount of paper, as many as ten carriages, which shows that things are extremely smooth in Jinan Prefecture.
When Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen entered the small courtyard, Lin Wan'er was playing shuttlecock with Chen Xiaoxiao and a few others.
Wu Meiniang, a white and chubby cat, nested in the sun, squinted lazily, watching the shuttlecock fly around, as if the next moment the pair of eyes would close, and then gradually sink into sleep. Wu Meiniang's kittens were very lively, running around chasing the shuttlecock. Wu Meiniang's eyes turned on several children, as if she was laughing: "Silly child, how can you be virtuous with Lin Wan'er, such a good day, don't bask in the sun, sleep beautifully, but jump around and run after the shuttlecock." ”
Lin Wan'er, Chen Xiaoxiao and Xia Cao shuttlecock kicked well, and they could also kick tricks, kicking with their left foot, kicking with their right foot, and they could also kick out difficult movements such as double flying swallows and mandarin duck crutches. In particular, Lin Wan'er sang "one pot bottom, two pot lids, three wine cups, four chopsticks, five nail hammers, six siu mai, seven orchids, eight grasps, nine upper faces, and ten dozen flowers", and the shuttlecock fell on the palm, back of the hand, five fingers, two fingers, fists, palms, fingers, and cheeks, and the rest of the people were stunned.
Lin Wan'er was quite proud of this.
Correspondingly, Qingzhu Niang and Winter Worm are not good at this, especially Winter Worm, which can't even kick two. Don't look at the insects driving with a hand, but kicking the shuttlecock is particularly clumsy.
Lin Wan'er will definitely not miss the opportunity to count the winter insects. Yin and Yang said angrily: "Little winter worm, I thought you were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, axe, axe, knife, fork, it turns out that you are not good at it, such a simple shuttlecock kick can't be, if you don't see it with your own eyes, kill me, I won't believe it." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao, Qingzhu Niang and Xia Cao pursed their lips and snickered.
Insects are stubborn. The more you don't play well, the more you have to kick. He didn't stop sweating profusely, but took off the light red jacket on his body and tied his loose hair into a long ponytail. Dangle behind your back.
Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen entered the small courtyard under such circumstances, Lin Wan'er greeted the two with a smile, arranged the entourage, and led Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen into the hall.
Cordyceps sinensis also quickly put away the shuttlecock. Tea was poured for the people, and the ten carts of paper were carried to the empty room, which had been copied.
Lin Wan'er motioned for Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen to drink tea. Secretly raised her big mother's finger to Yang Erxi to show her approval, Yang Erxi's eyes were not seen on Qingzhu Niang, Lin Wan'er's overtures were tantamount to giving to the blind.
Liu Hongda tasted the tea and praised it a few times. opened his mouth and said: "Miss Wan'er, now the business in Jinan Mansion is booming, thanks to Miss Wan'er's efforts to turn the tide. scolded the group of scholars, and the fifth prince had already sent a letter. It is said that the silk business in Lanzhou will also enter Jinan Mansion as much as possible. ”
Shen Songwen rarely reached an agreement with Liu Hongda on certain situations, but he couldn't help but nod his head in the matter of Jinan Mansion.
"It's all the credit of the two bosses, Wan'er is just passing by Jinan Mansion, and besides, it's really annoying that group of scholars." Lin Wan'er didn't take credit, because she knew that after opening the gap in Jinan Mansion, there was still a lot of specific work to be done, and this was thanks to Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen's meticulous care.
Liu Hongda smiled, presented a stack of silver tickets and said, "This is the recent profit, Miss Wan'er." ”
Lin Wan'er took the silver ticket, handed it to Xia Cao casually, and said: "The two bosses, I can't hide it, this time I let the two of you come to the capital is in big trouble. Wan'er's new writing can't be sold in Shangjing, so she hopes to build her own bookstore and open up the situation. ”
Liu Hongda nodded, he had seen it from Yang Erxi, there were many talents in the capital, and there should be many people who knew the goods, and it should not be like this according to reason. Liu Hongda has been grinding in the shopping mall for more than ten years, and knows that what businessmen are most afraid of is not natural disasters*, but the government. Liu Hongda opened his mouth and asked: "Miss Wan'er, printing is simple, but it is not easy to obtain a printing license from the imperial court and sell it in the market. ”
Lin Wan'er sighed and said, "Boss Liu did get to the point, but if you don't give it a try, how can you know if there is room for maneuver." ”
Liu Hongda now has a blind trust in Lin Wan'er, gritted his teeth ruthlessly, and decided to follow Lin Wan'er. Shen Songwen sighed in his heart, he can't do it.
So Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen asked the workers they brought to set up the printing press overnight, and Lin Wan'er took advantage of the gap to check the first five times again, carefully and carefully, and even the punctuation marks were re-checked.
Cordyceps looked at Lin Wan'er, who was holding the pen in one hand and her forehead in the other, under the light, and suddenly remembered that everyone Jian was sleepless every night, competing with every word on the paper.
Out of curiosity, Lin Wan'er personally participated in the printing process, only to know that the knowledge in printing is big, first of all, the fine grain wood is made of hand-made wooden boards, and at the same time the text is written on thin paper according to the board style, and then the written text is pasted on the wooden board, and finally the text or image is dropped, and finally printed and bound into a book. The whole process looks simple, but in fact it is extremely complex and difficult for unskilled workers to master.
Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen brought from Jinan Mansion are all skilled craftsmen, and within a few days, they printed ten taels of paper, and the first ten volumes of no less than 30,000 copies were neatly placed in front of Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er stretched out her hand and patted the layers of books that were about the same height as herself, only ten times, not very thick, far from being thick, but Lin Wan'er felt that her "porter" who carried the cultural heritage before crossing seemed to have done a very remarkable thing, and it was really a lucky thing for people in this world to be able to see such a cultural treasure.
In fact, Lin Wan'er was very pitiful to the group of people who were born earlier than Cao Xueqin before she crossed over, and they could read and write books all their lives, but none of them could compare with it, and they couldn't imagine that there would be such an excellent book, isn't it very pitiful?!
