Chapter 21: When I First Saw in Life
With the banner of Yuezhou Lin, or Lin Yuanda, the cooperation between Lin Zhao and Xie Sanyuan can be regarded as officially established.
Boss Xie, who has been a bookstore for 20 years, was very concerned about this matter, and brought back the two pieces of jujube wood that Lin Zhao gave him that day.
By the time it was close to noon the next day, Lin Zhao had already looked at the store for a long time, and this Boss Xie was able to arrive, but his hands and face were covered with ink, and it was obvious that he did not come from home, but from the printing workshop.
His expression was quite excited, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Lin Zhao: "I went back to try this thing overnight, and I went to the workshop early this morning to get it all morning, although there may be some problems with making impressions with wood, but this thing can really be done." ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of white paper from his sleeve, and more than a dozen words were simply printed on the white paper, which was obviously made by Xie Sanyuan in the printing workshop in the morning, he looked excited, and said: "This is the result of my trial all morning, although the effect is still not as good as the engraving, but it can barely be written." ”
Lin Zhao took the piece of paper, looked it up and down, and found that the handwriting on this paper was slightly blurry, and there were still wooden textures in some places, which were not as clear as those printed on the engraving, but as Xie Sanyuan said, it had indeed reached the level where it could be written.
For books, people can recognize the handwriting, even if they are barely qualified, as long as the price is low enough, and the quality is poor, some people will buy it.
Lin Zhao looked at this piece of paper, lowered his head and thought for a moment, only to remember that the movable type that finally eliminated the engraving in his previous life should be the lead movable type, and the wooden movable type has not been able to replace the engraving from beginning to end, but compared to the wooden movable type, the lead movable type is much more troublesome, and it needs to be made with copper molds.
However, Xie Sanyuan was still very excited.
He said to Lin Zhao: "In the afternoon, I will go to someone to make a deed, you and I will each pay a hundred yuan, and then open a new workshop, and divide the account fifty-fifty." ”
Lin Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "I don't understand many things in this industry, so I can only have the Lao Dongjia busy." ”
"It's all as it should be."
Xie Sanyuan laughed: "You can share half of this deal, you can afford me, you can watch the store in the store, and I will handle the rest." ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Lin Zhao and said, "Don't worry, I'm in business, and I haven't been short of anyone for more than 20 years, and if I go to handle this matter, I won't lose a lot of money for you." ”
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "I naturally trust the owner, otherwise I wouldn't have done this deal with the owner." ”
Lin Zhao was naturally relieved.
At this time, there was a thick thigh behind him, and more importantly, that thigh was obviously very interested in this matter, if Xie Sanyuan cheated him, his seventh uncle would definitely not sit idly by.
This is the benefit of the relationship, with this level of relationship, Lin Zhao does not have to go to the busy line in person, and can lie down and earn money with peace of mind.
Of course, the relationship between Lin Zhao and Lin Jian was not particularly close, and the reason why Lin Jian would intervene was because that night, Lin Zhao had a secret transaction with him.
The content of the transaction is very simple, three years later, this kind of movable type printing may slowly leak out, and then Lin Jian will officially make this new technology public to the world.
To put it bluntly, Lin Jian got his name, and Lin Zhao got his benefits.
A good reputation is not a bad thing, and Lin Jian has not done anything evil because of this, he can wait patiently for three years, this Yuan Dagong has shown enough gentlemanly style.
After the two agreed, it was almost noon, Xie Sanyuan almost didn't sleep all night last night, and he couldn't open his eyes at this time, he lay on his chaise longue and yawned a lot.
"San Lang, I'm a little sleepy, squint for a while, and then go find someone to start the deed in the afternoon."
After speaking, the shopkeeper Xie lay on the recliner and quickly fell asleep because of excessive sleepiness.
Lin Zhao nodded, greeted a few more guests in the store, and was teased by the maid of a large family, after noon, because they had to go home for dinner, there were few more guests in the store, Lin Zhao rearranged the books that were messed up by the guests, and then sat back at the counter.
He had just sat down when he heard a familiar crisp voice.
"Daddy, it's time to eat."
In the past half a month, this voice has come to deliver food to Xie Sanyuan every day, but Xie Sanyuan refuses to let Lin Zhao see anyone every day, so although he has listened to the voice for half a month, Lin Zhao has never known what this owner's daughter looks like.
He subconsciously glanced at Xie Sanyuan, and seeing that Xie Sanyuan was still asleep, Lin Zhao's eyes rolled, and he left the counter and walked outside.
Because Lin Zhao was in the store, when Xie Sanran came to deliver food in the past half month, Xie Sanyuan always didn't allow her to enter, but asked her to wait at the door, so after Xie Zhaoran called a few times, he honestly carried the rice basket and waited at the door.
Then she saw a handsome young man coming out of her bookstore, the young man hesitated for a moment, then walked towards her, and asked cautiously, "Is it the sister of the Xie family?" ”
The young man's voice was very good: "I am Lin Zhao, working in the bookstore. ”
Xie was stunned for a while.
She looked at the young man's face, and it took a while for her to react, and she said hesitantly, "Yes...... Where's my daddy? ”
"The owner, he fell asleep in it."
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Sister Xie just give me the rice basket, and I will call the owner to get up and eat." ”
Xie Ran's face was slightly red, and he reached out and handed over the rice basket in his hand.
After Lin Zhao took the rice basket, he smiled and said: "After eating the meal sent by my sister for half a month, I now know that my sister is so good-looking, the owner has always told me that my sister was born with a leopard head and eyes, and a tiger's back and a bear's waist......."
When Lin Zhao was in Donghu Town, he was not good at words, and after working in Yuezhou Mansion, he came into contact with the guests in the bookstore every day, and was occasionally teased by the maids who coveted his handsomeness, and his mouth was already much sweeter at this time.
Xie Ranran's face turned red when he said it, he lowered his head and snorted, and said, "Daddy, he keeps saying that you have a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, and your face is full of sores......
Lin Zhao's face darkened, and then he knew that Boss Xie had been slandering himself in front of his daughter for half a month.
It's okay to say that it's on the side, but I actually say that I'm ugly! Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?
Seeing his expression, Xie Yanran couldn't help but smile and said to Lin Zhao: "Okay, you go and eat with Daddy, if you don't eat for a while, it will be cold." ”
Lin Zhao nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll go now." ”
As he spoke, he nodded at Xie Yuran and thanked him: "Thank you sister for your meal." ”
When a pair of young boys and girls were talking outside the store, Boss Xie, who was "sleeping" on the recliner in the bookstore, cautiously opened one eye and glanced out of the door.
Seeing that the two of them were talking, Boss Xie hurriedly closed his eyes again, muttering to himself in his heart.
"If it weren't for the fact that your kid was a child of the Lin clan in Yuezhou, he would be able to take out a hundred yuan of money at will..."
"You never want to see my eldest daughter in your life!"
