Chapter 10 Career Troubles (Ask for Collections, Ask for Recommendation Votes!! )
Since then, Lin Zhao can be regarded as having a job in the city!
Although the income of this job is extremely meager, it is also an income after all, if Lin Zhao moves to live in the backyard of the owner's house, save rent, and save money, he can still have a lot of money left over in a year.
Of course, the rent has been given for a month, so it is naturally impossible for Lin Zhao to move out, and he also needs an environment where no one disturbs him to find a way to get movable type printing out.
The next day, Lin Zhao went to work at the Sanyuan bookstore, Xie Sanyuan first took him to familiarize himself with the pricing of various books on the shelves of the bookstore, Lin Zhao was already smart, and the types of these books were not particularly many, it only took one morning, he had already memorized the price of books in the Sanyuan bookstore.
At noon, a girl in a plain skirt, carrying a rice basket in her hand, walked into the bookstore with brisk steps.
Her voice was crisp.
"Daddy, it's time to eat."
At this time, Xie Sanyuan was teaching Lin Zhao how to bargain with the guests in the bookstore, and after hearing his daughter's voice, his face changed slightly, and he immediately said to Lin Zhao: "You go to the inner room first to avoid it, I tell you to come out, and you will come out again." ”
Although Lin Zhao was a little confused, he still obediently stood up from the chair and walked towards the back hall.
After Lin Zhao walked away, Xie Sanyuan wiped his hands, took a deep breath, and turned his head to greet his daughter who delivered food.
Taking the rice basket from his daughter's hand, Boss Xie said with a smile: "What did the eldest girl cook for Daddy today?" ”
This girl is Xie Sanyuan's eldest daughter, named Xie Shanran, because Xie Sanyuan has to look at the shop in the shop, and sometimes he has to go to the printing workshop to work, and there is basically no time to go home to eat at noon.
After hearing his father's question, Xie Xianran did not answer directly, but stretched out his head to look behind his father, and then said with a smile: "Daddy went home yesterday and said that there was an apprentice in the shop, and asked me to send two meals today, why is there no one in the shop?" ”
Xie Sanyuan coughed, waved his hand and said, "That kid has a stomachache, he went out to the toilet, he is not in the shop, okay, the food is delivered, you go back." ”
Xie Yuran was originally out of curiosity, but after hearing his father say this, after looking at it a few more times, he lost interest and waved his hand at his father: "Then the daughter will go back, Daddy, you go home early today, the younger brother was naughty in the school, and he was driven back by Mr. and is kneeling at home." ”
Xie Yuran said with a smile: "Daddy, if you don't go back, I'm afraid my mother will let him kneel all the time." ”
Xie Sanyuan sighed, shook his head and said, "It seems that my Xie family has no endowment for studying, so let's go back first, and I'll go home early in the afternoon." ”
Xie Yuran nodded with a smile: "Okay, Daddy, you go back as soon as possible to save the little brother." ”
After saying this, she turned to leave, and just took two steps, she suddenly looked back at her father, and asked with some curiosity: "Daddy, why don't you let me see that apprentice?" ”
"Where are you not allowed to see it?"
Xie Sanyuan feigned anger and said: "That kid went out, can he still coax you for his father?" ”
Xie Yanran smiled slightly, turned around and left.
Xie Sanyuan looked at his daughter's distant back, and sighed a little helplessly: "If only your brother could be as smart as you, it's not a good thing for a daughter to be born too smart." ”
As he spoke, he walked back to the counter with his rice basket in his hand, muttering to himself as he went.
"That kid's oily hair and noodles are very handsome, how can you see them? If you take a fancy to this poor boy, won't my bookstore change hands by then? ”
Xie Sanyuan dotes on his eldest daughter very much, and has said more than once over the years that when his daughter marries in the future, he will use this bookstore as a dowry.
After talking to himself, he put the rice basket on the table and said, "Boy, come out to eat." ”
"Taste my house...... Well, my wife's craftsmanship is no less than that of the big restaurants in the city. ”
Lin Zhao walked out of the back room, and after thanking Xie Sanyuan, they sat down to eat together.
I have to say that this boss is very kind, he doesn't care if Lin Zhao eats, and lets Lin Zhao eat with him, which shows that his character is definitely not bad.
While eating, Lin Zhao accosted Xie Sanyuan.
"The owner, I am mostly familiar with the prices of the books in the shop, when will you take me to the printing workshop to have a look."
Xie Sanyuan put down the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at Lin Zhao, and said suspiciously: "How do you know that I have a workshop at home?" ”
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "I looked in the shop in the morning and saw that many books were newly printed, so I guessed that the owner also had a printing workshop. ”
The difficulty of engraving printing is that a set of engraving can only print one set of books, and the engraving is troublesome to make, so only the books that sell particularly hot, or very popular will have engravings, like the workshop in Xie Sanyuan's house, there are only about a dozen sets of engravings, some of which are bought, and some of which he has made himself over the years.
These engravings are so precious that people from other printing workshops will even come and steal them!
Lin Zhao was only thirteen or fourteen years old, his lips were red and his teeth were white, he looked innocent, Xie Sanyuan didn't think much about it, and after bowing his head and taking two mouthfuls of food, he said: "You help in the shop first, there is no shortage of people in the workshop for the time being, and I will let you go when there is a shortage of people." ”
Lin Zhao frowned secretly in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Listen to the owner."
After the two of them finished eating, Lin Zhao took the initiative to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and then put them back in the rice basket, and in the afternoon, Lin Zhao had already written down all the bookshelves in the bookstore, and Boss Xie didn't bother to stare at him anymore, moved a bench and half lay at the door of the bookstore, closing his eyes and resting.
In this way, Lin Zhao went to work at Sanyuan Bookstore on time every day, and after a few days, Xie Sanyuan already trusted him very much, and sometimes even left Lin Zhao alone in the bookstore to watch the shop, and he could take the time to go out and walk around twice, or lie on the chair to sleep.
After a few days, although Lin Zhao did not enter the printing workshop, he was slowly learning the font used in printing, as well as the Yin script of this font.
The only thing that is a little distressing is that because he is good-looking, some women who come to the bookstore to buy books will often peek at Lin Zhao, and those who are more extroverted will take the initiative to make a few jokes with Lin Zhao.
Miss Qianjin is okay, she is generally a little reserved, but some of the maids who came to buy books on behalf of her own lady were very bold, and one of them brought Lin Zhao a box of snacks the next day after seeing Lin Zhao for the first time, and then ran away with her face covered.
Fortunately, Lin Zhao is not just an ordinary teenager, in the face of these professional troubles, he can handle them with ease, so he will not be in a hurry.
The customer flow of Sanyuan Bookstore has increased significantly.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, Lin Zhao closed the shop as usual and walked towards his nest, the house he rented was not close to the Sanyuan bookstore, and by the time he got home, it was almost dark.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Lin Zhao felt that something was wrong.
Vaguely, there seems to be a ...... Bloody gas?
