Li Ke smashed his mouth, and was about to continue to speak, seeing that the roast pig eggs over there were already cooked and being distributed, he hurriedly jumped over.

"Oops...... Come, hurry up and give me a few strings. ”

Shengsheng copied a few strings of pig balls from the Cheng family's assistant chef who grilled the skewers, and then walked back satisfied, handed two skewers to Cheng Chubi, who had a black line on his face.

"Hey...... Little brother just take this bite, let's talk while eating, brother, you should hurry up. ”

Cheng Chubi glanced at His Royal Highness King Wu, who was afraid of eating a few fewer skewers than others, eating roast pig balls and eggs, and chatting with Li Ke while eating.

Only then did I know that not only Chang'an, but most of the printing houses in the world, the vast majority, are in the hands of those families of poetry and book heirlooms.

After all, they have been handed down for thousands of years to grasp books best, that is, they have mastered the lifeblood of those who read.

Since the beginning of engraving printing, these families have set up their own printing workshops.

After all, even if you want to print a book, except for some of the more common books on the market.

The collection of books inherited from ancient times by those great families is difficult to borrow if you want to.

After all, Cheng Chubi has a mother who is obsessed with books, and naturally knows very well that those families regard those books as more important than any treasure.

Cheng Chubi ate the skewers in his hand in annoyance, and muttered unhappily.

"Isn't there anyone else in this business besides them?"

"This, in fact, is not without ......" Li Ke wanted to speak and stopped, and it took a long time to say the truth.

“……”

Cheng Chubi looked at Li Ke's expression that seemed to be very embarrassed and entangled, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"What do you mean, in fact, do you know that there is a printing shop that does not belong to the family?"

"Yes, yes, but they are not large."

"What's wrong with the small scale? As long as there are experienced old craftsmen with them, it will not take too long to train more craftsmen. ”

"It's better than nothing, what is lacking, everything is much better, and the most important thing for us now is to hurry up and do big things."

Cheng Chubi looked at Li Ke suspiciously, and always felt that this brother who cut off the head of the chicken and burned the yellow paper seemed to have something to hide from himself.

Li Ke put the bamboo skewer aside, looked around with a vigilant expression, and his voice became more and more sneaky.

"But, but they have a bad reputation, if we really buy it, I'm afraid it's not suitable......"

Cheng Chubi snorted. "The reputation is not good, what's the matter, bullying and dominating the market? Or is it a forced buy and a forced sale? ”

"Alas...... That's it, little brother, I'll say it bluntly, brother, do you remember the bookstore we went to before. ”

“？？？” Cheng Chubi reacted for a long time, and looked at Li Ke, who looked a little embarrassed with a black line on his face.

This special mother not only has a bad reputation, but it is definitely a sven scum-level bookstore.

"Brother Xian, you mean, they also have a printing shop?"

Cheng Chubi's whole person is not good, I didn't expect that Datang not only has a serious printing workshop, but also a non-serious printing workshop.

"Brother Tai, don't you know, if you ask someone to copy those books from those bookstores, how many Sven people do you think are willing to do it?"

Cheng Chubi directly hehe. "Speak as if you Svens don't like to appreciate it."

Hearing this ironic sentence, Li Ke was suddenly unhappy, and said with a white face.

"Sven people always have to have some fun, besides, I just like to appreciate that thing, and I don't want to do anything bad."

"Understand, understand, you don't have to rush." Cheng Chubi patted Li Ke's shoulder very sincerely and said.

This is the truth, presumably his behavior is just like his simple and kind self back then, neither being a traitor nor messing around.

But he also has an appreciation for both artistic and educational *****, and loves those performing artists who have the courage to dedicate themselves.

Of course, it is definitely from the perspective of pure art appreciation, and Li Ke, a bad prince who likes to hook up with the land all day long, is definitely not the same kind of person.

Li Ke could only bite the pig egg indignantly and continued to state his opinion.

"Although they are willing to quietly buy those things to treasure, it does not mean that they are willing to take such jobs, it is too insulting......"

Seeing this Sven scum Li Ke, who knows a lot about the improper industry in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, is here to spit on the stars.

Cheng Chubi really convinced this virtuous brother who cut off the head of the chicken and burned the yellow paper, and he deserved to be a professional lover who liked improper literature and improper picture albums.

Seeing Cheng Chubi's strange expression and disgusted eyes, the enthusiastic Tang Dynasty royal tool man Li was suddenly unhappy.

"Brother, what kind of expression do you have, little brother, this is doing you and my imperial brother a favor.

If it weren't for you, I would have inquired about all those places, little brother. ”

#####

Cheng Chubi rubbed his face, and then gently comforted the unhappy His Royal Highness King Wu.

"I'm just surprised, I can't imagine that Brother Xian has paid such a big sacrifice for the sake of brotherhood, which is really admirable for Brother Wei."

"Since this is the case, then you spend money to buy it, whether he is serious or not, with a printing shop, it is the last word."

"Huh...... The unscrupulous printing workshop, but the workshop they relied on for their livelihood. If they were sold to us, do you think they would be happy? ”

"And that backstage boss, exactly, huh...... It is the old Mr. Xu who painted a picture of a bronze man with a needle for us. ”

"......" Cheng Chubi remembered that Master Xu, who was good at body painting and liked to leave an evil and very immodest smile on portraits.

"Little brother, I just found out that Mr. Xu is a branch of the Xu family in Gaoyang, Hebei, and he was also a very talented and prestigious talent of the Xu family in his early years."

"However, because he was born in a side branch and was not valued by the Gaoyang Xu family, in a fit of anger, he left Gaoyang and entered the former dynasty."

"After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he stayed away from his career and wrote books and paintings to make a living......"

"It seems that his hobbies are really wide enough, and the books he writes must be the same as his paintings......" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but be happy.

Li Ke nodded subconsciously. "Therefore, he has always been very low-key, and such a bookstore, after all, there is still a certain demand......

And those big families despise such an immodest place very much, but on the contrary, among them, there will always be some people who can't suppress the turmoil in their hearts.

Occasionally, I would quietly buy some of my favorite books or picture albums to enjoy privately.

Therefore, this unserious bookstore has been able to survive, after all, the things printed are not very serious things, and the natural scale cannot be large.

Low-key is king, and making a fortune in a muffled voice is the mainstream.
