Su Chen took a nap of incense in the afternoon, and then in the study, he sorted out the scripts of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to be printed, and then wrote out the steps of movable type printing.

The Tang Dynasty invented engraving printing, and the middle and late Tang Dynasty has been widely used, more than 100 years have passed, the current Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty used printing methods, is still engraving printing.

Movable type printing is the Song Dynasty Renzong time, a cloth cloth Bi Sheng invented the clay type, through the combination of single word typesetting, the formation of movable type printing plate.

The general principle is to use cement to make a blank with the same specifications, and engrave the anti-body single word at one end, and the height of the protrusion of the character is like the thickness of the edge of the copper coin, and it is hardened with fire to become a single cement movable type.

In order to meet the needs of typesetting, there are several or even dozens of commonly used words in order to be used when repeated in the same edition. If you encounter an uncommon word, if you are not prepared in advance, you can use it as you go.

This kind of cement movable type printing method, if only two or three copies are printed, it is not trouble-free, if hundreds or thousands of copies are printed, the work efficiency is extremely considerable, not only can save a lot of manpower and material resources, but also can greatly improve the speed and quality of printing, which is much superior to engraving printing.

However, this matter seems easy, but in terms of operation, he does not know the specific operation, so he can only hand over these ideas to the lettering craftsmen in the study, so that they can create and implement them, which requires the spirit of real craftsmen.

At dusk, Su Chen prepared fish and shrimp and condiments, looked at the rain curtain at dusk outside the window, and didn't know if Bai Susu and Qinqing would come back at night, if the second daughter was inconvenient to travel because of the rainy day, then he would just eat grilled fish with Ling'er tonight, and he didn't have to trouble getting a few dishes.

Before this idea could be put aside, I saw a carriage stop at the courtyard, and then three female figures appeared together and entered the small courtyard of the patio.

"Sister Susu, Sister Qingqing, you are here!" Ling'er ran to the door of the house to greet her warmly, she also understood at this time that the identities of these two women were not simple, the Su family needed the second daughter to cover them for the time being, and it was she and Su Chen who relied on the umbrella behind their backs, so they welcomed them quite warmly and tried their best to have a good relationship.

Bai Susu and Peng Jingqing, because Ling'er is well-behaved and sensible, and they are Su Chen's sister-in-law, so they also like and take care of her, and they get along very well.

"It's raining so hard, you're really here?" Su Chen was a little speechless.

"Our relationship, rain or shine, you ...... Have you started cooking? Peng Jingqing urged.

Su Chen was a little moved when he heard the previous sentence, but when the latter sentence came out, it directly changed its taste.

Come and eat in the rain, come and eat, come and go, we are the relationship between the chef and the diner!

Su Chen invited the two aunts and grandmothers into the main hall, the tables, chairs and furniture were all complete, and they were brand new.

Peng Jingqing praised: "It's much better than when it's empty, at least it's like a complete home." ”

"What's all this about?" Su Chen muttered.

"What, is there anything missing?" Peng Jingqing asked curiously.

Although Bai Susu didn't speak, his eyes also looked over, wanting to hear what he was still missing, so that he could turn around and tell the servant to make up for it.

Su Chen half-jokingly said: "If you lack a wife and concubine, if you get it together, it will look like a complete home." ”

Peng Jingqing glanced at him, crossed his hands, moved his joints and wrists, and snorted softly: "I think you are missing a lesson." ”

Su Chen laughed: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously!" ”

Peng Jingqing looked at his hippie smiling face, skinny, and couldn't help but want to scold him a few words: "Make your dishes, otherwise, I really can't help but do it." ”

"How can you talk to the head of the Su family! Don't forget, this is my home, and I am the master of the house! Su Chen saw that she was constantly occupying the magpie's nest and making noise, so she couldn't help but want to declare the sovereignty here.

"So what, you want to have a conversation?" Peng Jingqing's eyes flashed with the desire to fight.

Su Chen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm just stating the facts, you just need to know." With that, he went out in a gray way.

Bai Susu, Xiaotong and the others all laughed, this Su Chen and Peng Jingqing had to fight every time, and finally used her force value to deter Su Chen, so they had to do it.

However, Su Chen thought in his heart that good men don't fight with women, and it is really meaningless to learn martial arts with her, and this is not on the bed or on the bench, so he is not interested in fighting with her!

As for conceding and losing face? Inexistent! Because he lost enough in front of the second daughter.

In just half a month, he showed the shortcomings of his second daughter, including greed for money, lack of self-motivation, poor martial arts, identity as an apprentice, and four walls of apprentices who lost gambling, etc.!

Therefore, Su Chen didn't plan to pretend to be anything, he knew the roots, so he simply revealed his true temperament, and he didn't expect to break through with the two of them. Anyway, the two female personalities are not the type he likes, a cold goddess fan, a bold heroine fan, he really can't conquer it.

Thinking of this, Su Chen's mind came to mind Liu Monong's sentimentality, Xu Cainu's rich five cars...... Alas, it's a headache just thinking about it, can you meet a normal lady?

"Qinqing, you accompany Ling'er to practice martial arts, I'll go to the study for a walk." Every time Bai Susu comes to Su's house, his favorite place to go is Su Chen's study, which has Su Chen practicing calligraphy, making design drawings, whimsical sentences, legendary scripts, and the latest poems, etc., which can make Bai Susu have some small gains every time and know Su Chen a little more.

For Bai Susu, who is good at discovery and likes to summarize, this is equivalent to an interesting discovery game, piecing together what kind of person Su Chen is!

Half an hour later, spicy grilled fish, garlic prawns, and fried clams...... The delicious seafood dishes are done, but the method is not quite the same as the current steaming, stewing, stewing and frying method in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there are more condiments.

These dishes are suitable for girls, they are not greasy, the taste is good, and they are novel and unique, so after being served on the table, Peng Jingqing's eyes lit up, and the eyes that looked at Su Chen became extremely appreciative.

One of the spicy grilled fish served in a copper basin was burned with charcoal fire underneath, the fish was roasted, and then in the soup, put side dishes and stewed, the taste was different from what the second daughter had eaten before, and she couldn't help but have a big appetite, eat a large piece, and eat to her heart's content.

"By the way, Su Chen, the seven hundred taels of silver sent by Ding Jiaerlang have been stored in Bairun Restaurant for two days, and I will bring them to you today." Bai Susu suddenly mentioned this.

When Su Chen heard this, he smiled slightly: "Then the evil young man of the Ding family didn't bother you anymore, right?" ”

Bai Susu shook his head and said: "I lost face last time, he has settled down a lot, probably because of your fame, Ding Ershao seems to have given up the way of writing and pretending to be a talent." However, I sent someone to inquire privately, and the Ding family may come to the door to ask for a kiss! ”

"Door-to-door courtship?" Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then thought of the old fox of the old man of the Bai family, shook his head and smiled: "Your grandfather will definitely not agree." ”

Bai Susu nodded and said, "Well, grandpa naturally won't agree." However, we must also beware of other actions by the Ding family! At present, there is great competition in the sale of porcelain, the official kilns of celadon and white porcelain in the north are in large-scale production, and they are also actively trading with the Khitan, Goryeo, and Western Regions, selling ceramics to Fanbang, and the porcelain of the Yue Kingdom is also selling to the Tang State, so the sales share of the Bai family and the Ding family is decreasing year by year, and they are forced to squeeze out and annex each other. ”

Su Chen asked: "White porcelain and celadon are your Bai family and Ding family's respective areas of expertise?" ”

Bai Susu replied calmly: "Yes, the ancestor of the Bai family is from the Xing kiln in the north, and he is the best at making fine white porcelain; The ancestors of the Ding family, from the Yue kiln in the Tang Dynasty, have unique experience in celadon. Although the Bai family is also making celadon and the Ding family is making white porcelain, it is definitely not as good as what the other party is best at, and it cannot completely replace the other party's family and market for the time being. ”

Su Chen remembered a popular song he sang in the rain today, and asked, "Have you considered fusing celadon and white porcelain to make blue and white porcelain?" ”

"Blue and white porcelain?" Bai Susu frowned, and then said: "Blue and white porcelain appeared in the Gongxian kiln in the Tang Dynasty, but the technology is not mature, there have been many flaws and deficiencies, the folk and the palace are not much, and later because of the war, the Gongxian kiln declined, and the production of blue and white porcelain is not visible to the world." ”

Su Chen nodded, he just mentioned it casually, he didn't know much about making porcelain, but he used to be in his grandfather's house, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, his grandfather liked to collect antiques and porcelain, and told him some things about blue and white porcelain, and checked some information, but after all, it was just talk on paper, and when he saw Bai Susu answer like this, he didn't continue.
