The bookstore is very large, and the books are placed like the library of Qin Feng's previous life, with rows of neat wooden shelves, on which all kinds of books are neatly placed. Hundreds of schools, stories, texts, interpretations, etc. are all available. The walls are full of poems, calligraphy and paintings. There are even official newspapers from different periods.

There are also a lot of people in the bookstore, most of them dressed up as scholars. It seems that most of them are college students.

Qin Feng looked at Jia Song, Jia Song looked left and right, and took Qin Feng straight to the innermost corner of the bookstore.

On the corner bookshelf, Qin Feng swept it at a glance, the names were all over the place, the spring was boundless, and more than a dozen words were touched. Qin Feng couldn't help laughing, this is, Dahua's shielding word? Hey, there are actually 300 beautiful poems! took down a copy casually, Qin Feng opened it and took a look:

Juanjuan's white snow skirt cage, infinite style bending. Take a nap and be timid, and lean on the curtain. The water bones are tender, the jade mountains are long, and the mandarin ducks are holding the spring breeze.

Flip again:

Twenty-eight delicate ice moon essence, not stingy with good style on the side of the road. The heart of the flower is soft and the spring is dewed, and the willow bones hide the warbler at night. The clouds on the pillow are sleepy and sleepy, and the butterflies lock a few vertically and horizontally in the dream. Relying on the fate of the sky to borrow people's convenience, Yulu is cool for six or seven more.

Qin Feng smiled dumbly, this level is really high! Ordinary people can't taste the taste, they don't have any cultivation, and they are not even qualified to read restricted-level poems.

Jia Song was sneaky, handed Qin Feng a picture album, and whispered, "This is the best." ”

Qin Feng put the poetry collection back on the shelf, opened the album and looked at it, his face suddenly twitched. What is this painting? The body of the figure in the painting is severely deformed, and the colors are shoddy. What's even more hateful is that the proportions of the characters are completely out of balance, and there is no beauty at all. All of them have small short legs and bucket waists, which are not as good as the comic books that Qin Feng watched when he was a child. In this album, you can only see the general posture of the two people fighting.

This thing, compared to the high-definition picture quality of my previous life, is simply impossible to look at! Appalling!

This is a defect of the times, Dahua does not have the skills to draw realistically!

Qin Feng was suddenly interested, and glanced at Jia Song sympathetically: "Poor baby, this is your textbook?" Then he threw the album back to Jia Song with disdain.

Qin Feng came to the shopkeeper and took out a piece of broken silver and handed it over. The shopkeeper glanced at it, didn't answer, and asked with a smile: "What does Childe want to buy?" ”

"I'd like to inquire about something."

"Childe, if I can answer, I will not hide it. You don't have to break the bank. The shopkeeper said politely.

"Thank you, I want to ask, Nanchang City, or Jiangxi, which one makes the best paper?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "There are many varieties of this paper, and they have different uses. The hemp paper for writing, the rice paper for painting, the sprinkled gold paper for the book cover, and the Xue Tao note paper. Childe wants to ask, what kind of paper is the best? Or is it the best variety of a certain type of paper? ”

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there a paper with good toughness, not afraid of blisters, and hard texture?" ”

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and shook his head: "General paper can't be blistered, but there is a kind of paper, which has good toughness, hard texture, and is more water-resistant than other papers." It's called magnetic green paper. ”

"Oh? Do you have it here? Can I take a look? ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "I don't have it here, a piece of magnetic green paper, worth 100 wen." Where can ordinary people afford it, let alone use it to write books. However, if you want to find it, it is also easy, and the magnetic blue paper is a special paper for copying Buddhist scriptures. So you go to the temple and you can see. ”

"Scripture copying paper? If I want to buy something blank, will the temple sell it? ”

"Yes, I just said, expensive, one will cost 100 wen. But if you really want to buy it, go to Qingfeng Temple, where there is a Taoist chief who makes the best magnetic blue paper, and the monastery itself makes it better than him. He is also, apart from Buddhism, the only person who can make magnetic blue paper. ”

Qin Feng smiled slightly, and it was Qingfeng again. It's really fate.

Seeing that the shopkeeper did not accept the silver, Qin Feng casually took a few Nanchang Mansion newspapers, two books, and paid the silver. Take Jia Song out and go back to Jia's house.

On the way, Jia Song asked: "Sir, I'm afraid that I'm not here to see the Spring Palace map, but to look for paper, right?" ”

Qin Feng nodded: "It's both, after today's flowing water banquet is finished, tomorrow with me all the way, and then go to Qingfeng Temple!" ”

At this time, people came and went, and more than a dozen guys from the restaurant pulled a cart of food cages here.

The so-called flowing water seat means that everyone who comes is a guest, and they sit on the side when they enter the door and wait. Regardless of whether they know each other or not, when they get together a table, they will open a table, wipe their mouths after eating, and leave.

The guy would quickly clean up the table, rearrange the table, and the guests would gather another table and sit down again. Most of them are neighbors. Occasionally, passing guests see that the main family is magnificent, as long as they come in, they will also receive it. If you are stingy, you will arrange your own family to stay at the gate of the yard, and you can't enter unless you are a neighbor.

Finally, at the end of the evening, the restaurant will find the host to settle the bill according to the number of wine tables. Anyway, the price is the same for every table.

There are a few unspoken rules here, the restaurant must choose the nearest one, and it is convenient to change the table.

If acquaintances want to sit down and drink together, they can get together by themselves. If you don't drink, hurry away after eating to make room for the next group of guests.

The men sat in front of them in the courtyard. The women's table is placed in the wing room.

Over the years, the Jia family has been living a lot of life in the last few days and has made a fortune. If it weren't for the fact that they were still in the filial piety period, the Jia family would want to put on a show. Therefore, the flowing water mat is generously placed. No one will be refused.

A few tables in the courtyard, wings, classrooms, and even the wings of the guys' quarters were vacated for a few tables.

There is a table in the inner courtyard, and the dishes are divided into two parts, one for Mrs. Jia, Miss Jia, and Ruyi to enjoy. The rest will be enjoyed by the maids of the Jia family.

Uncle Zhou and other male workers ate skewers in the outer courtyard by themselves, and it was this table that sat down, said a few words to the guests, and sat at that table to say hello to each other. In short, instead of the main house, greet the guests.

There is also a table in the main hall of the Jia family, which is higher than the outside, which is reserved for guests with status.

Today's most distinguished guest is only one, the master of Wei Dayou, the magistrate of Nanchang County, Liu Ziqi.

Cao Zhutou wanted to drink, so he sat outside with his group of subordinate brothers.

Therefore, in the main hall, there are only three people: Qin Feng, Liu Ziqi, and Jia Song.

Facing a full table, Liu Ziqi smiled and said, "It's just the three of us, isn't it too wasteful?" ”

Jia Song was happy today and said with a smile: "No, no, we can't finish eating, Uncle Zhou and they will have to add dinner at night later, they will heat it up, and it will be another table." ”

Qin Feng glared at Jia Song, turned his head and said, "Brother Liu is my only guest here today. Brother Liu can come, that is, when I am really a brother, the table is not full, how can I show my sincerity? ”

Liu Ziqi raised his glass, greeted Qin Feng and Jia Song, and took a sip together. Said slowly: "Brother Qin's words are good, but I appreciate Jia Song's words more. The three of us really can't finish this table, and the rest is left for others to enjoy, so that we can make the best use of it. In everything, to give full play to the best and to be perfect, is perfect, what does Brother Qin think? ”

Qin Feng smiled and said, "What Brother Liu said is very true, come, taste this piece of deer breast." Reached out and took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of deer breast and put it into Liu Ziqi's bowl.

Liu Ziqi also took the chopsticks, twisted the fish head, put it into Qin Feng's bowl, and said with a smile: "You should take this head today!" Qin Feng thanked him.

Liu Ziqi twisted a piece of fish meat from the belly of the fish, prepared to put it in Jia Song's bowl, and said: "Jia Song, your husband is the leader, you and I share this belly." ”

Jia Song hurriedly stood up and excused himself: "Mr. Liu, please, I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself." He quickly took the chopsticks and stretched them out to the plate of fish. Liu Ziqi smiled, didn't say much, put the fish meat into his bowl, and put down the chopsticks. I took my own chopsticks and savored them slowly.

Qin Feng stared at the fish head in the bowl, looked left and right, this is not a silver carp head, what is the head?

After a few strokes of the chopsticks on the fish's head, Qin Feng finally couldn't help but speak: "Brother Liu, I made a bet with the students of Shilin Academy, presumably Brother Liu also knew?" ”

Liu Ziqi put down his chopsticks and took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. looked at Qin Feng and said, "Miss Wen Man of the Lu family, I have told Chief Lu about your dictionary. Chief Lu only regrets one thing now, that is, he didn't invite you to Shilin Academy. ”

Qin Feng smiled and didn't speak.

Liu Ziqi said: "Your pinyin method is like a stroke of genius, which solves how to learn words. The entire people of Dahua will benefit from this. This matter, in the literary world, is of great significance, and it can be called a unique feat! You're sure to be able to live forever! However, could your dictionary idea be more perfect? ”

"For example?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Pinyin is created for you, and no one can take your first credit. If the matter of compiling words into a dictionary is handed over to Shilin Academy, the dictionary will not only have 5,000 commonly used words, but also more than 30,000 words, all of which can be summarized in the dictionary. The reputation of Shilin College will be raised to a higher level, and the influence of the dictionary will be more far-reaching. Your personal fame continues unabated. Shilin Academy, will also accept your favor, do you know how many Jinshi students have been admitted to Shilin Academy over the years? Lift people? How many people have entered the public service? More to come! If you befriend Shilin Academy because of this, you will set up this banquet in the future, and I can only sit in the far corner outside! You, Shilin Academy, can get the most benefits from the dictionary, isn't this perfect? ”

"Although I am here today, although you are the only distinguished guest, it seems that there are a lot of people who care about this table?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Liu Ziqi nodded: "Actually, today, the county lord and the master Xuezheng all want to come for a glass of wine." It's just that you didn't invite them two days ago. Hehe. ”

"Two days ago, when I asked you, there was no such thing as a dictionary." Qin Feng said: "In this matter, I still plan to collect some sponsorship fees." ”

"One hundred thousand taels of silver, Shilin Academy will give it to you."

"I promised to leave my name in the Red Sleeve Wenyuan Dictionary."

"Okay!"

"I also promised Father-in-law Wang to leave a few names in the dictionary."

"Okay!" Liu Ziqi gritted his teeth, this guy already knew that he would make the best use of things!

"Well, I'll think about it. This morning, Mr. Shu, a staff member of the governor of Lord Shu, specially came to order me not to move the dictionary for the time being. Wait for the emperor's decree to arrive, and then make the next step. ”

Liu Ziqi nodded: "This is the right thing to do, Brother Qin, can you go to Shilin Academy with me tomorrow?" ”

"Tomorrow, Jia Song and I are going to Qingfeng Temple. And this matter is still inconclusive, why don't you wait for you and me to have a rough charter and then go to the academy? ”

Liu Ziqi said: "It's okay." Come, I will borrow flowers and offer Buddha, and use your wine to toast you. ”

......

Master Liu, the county respecter, drank freely in Jiajiabu Shop.

At the same time, Mo Li, the scribe who guarded the eunuchs, appeared at the house of Wu Jin, the head of the cloth guild.
