Regarding Shen Xi's schooling, Zhou and Hui Niang summed it up, and finally decided to spread the medicine first. After all, this time I didn't know the place of life in Fucheng for the first time, and even adults didn't adapt to life here, so it was a bit difficult to let a child like Shen Xi integrate into it immediately.

The two families set off from Ninghua on the fourth day of the new year, arrived on the sixth day of the new year, and basically packed up the ninth day of the new year, and with the next two days of medicinal materials into the warehouse, and then divided into categories and packed cabinets, all the preparations are basically ready.

The opening date of the pharmacy was set for October 13, which was chosen by Mr. Feng Shui. Originally, Hui Niang didn't believe in this, but since she was going to open a shop, she inevitably invited a feng shui master to watch the meeting for psychological comfort, and in addition to following the instructions of the feng shui master, she rearranged the house in the shop.

While Hui Niang and Zhou were busy in the shop, Shen Mingjun also took Shen Xi around the city, asking where there were printing masters who were idle at home and cheap venues for rent.

If Hui Niang did these things, with her connections in the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce, she would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Shen Mingjun was completely black about Fucheng, no one helped, and he was running around like a fly without a head.

Shen Xi is very smart, he knows that it is nonsense to go all over the street to find a printing master, in fact, it is very simple to solve this problem, just start from the bookstore.

There must be a printing workshop here in Tingzhou, and after the printing workshop prints the book out in these years, it will be directly sent to the bookstore for sale, and the relationship between the printing workshop and the bookstore is production and marketing, and there is an entanglement of interests in the middle.

At Shen Xi's insistence, Shen Mingjun took him to visit the bookstore in the city. These bookstores sell all kinds of books that Shen Mingjun has never heard of, and even a few of them are actually selling comic books, and the sales seem to be good, and more than a dozen people buy them at the end of the day, but unfortunately most of them are pirated comic books.

As for the "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue" and "The Biography of Tong Lin" that circulated from Ninghua, Shen Xi didn't find the original copies of these two books in a bookstore.

Books are easy to print, as long as there is a market, people will flock to them, and in such an era where there is no concept of copyright, there is no punishment for piracy.

When the shopkeeper and the guys of the bookstore saw Shen Mingjun's father and son entering the door, they usually welcomed him warmly, but after Shen Mingjun explained his intentions, they ignored them one by one.

In these years, people who do business are very philistine, and those who can make money will naturally greet them with a smile, once they know that there is no cheap to take advantage of, turning their faces is faster than turning a book. Moreover, Shen Mingjun was dressed ordinarily, not like a wealthy man, and he had no literati temperament, so when he went to the bookstore to ask if there was a printing master who had not worked for the time being, people would naturally be vigilant.

After walking through several bookstores in a row and hitting nails, Shen Xi wanted to understand one thing, it was not enough to just go into the bookstore to inquire, there must be something practical.

Fortunately, when he went out, Shen Xi brought a few of the colorful New Year pictures he had printed before, and after following Shen Mingjun to the next bookstore, Shen Xi first asked his father to spread out the colorful New Year's pictures and asked where to buy this kind of colorful New Year's pictures, which immediately attracted the attention of the bookstore shopkeeper.

Ninghua production of engraving New Year's pictures, has been spread throughout the territory of Tingzhou Mansion, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, someone got a batch of pirated color New Year's paintings, just in the ordinary way to print the New Year's paintings, and then fill in with a simple color on it, extremely rough. But after it was introduced to the market, the sales were actually good.

Nowadays, some business-minded people in Fucheng are trying their best to do the business of comic books and color New Year paintings, but their business strategy is not to go to Ninghua County to organize purchases, but to find someone to print them themselves.

Shen Mingjun took out the color New Year's paintings, not only the lines are clear, the colors are bright, the most important primary colors are printed and then added gilt and color, the quality is far from the previous Fucheng circulation with several monotonous colors filled out of the New Year's paintings. When the shopkeeper of this bookstore called "Wenfangzhai" saw it, his eyes widened, and he quickly came back to his senses, invited Shen Mingjun and his son to sit in the back hall, and asked after serving tea in person: "...... Your Excellency's New Year's painting, I don't know where it came from? ”

Shen Mingjun glanced at Shen Xi and replied according to Shen Xi's prior explanation: "We are from Ninghua, and there is a printing workshop in Ninghua that specializes in printing this kind of New Year's painting, which is ready to be launched at the end of the year." I am very familiar with their shopkeeper, he agreed that we should bring this business to Fucheng to do, but we need someone who knows how to print, I want to ask if there is an unemployed printing master at home in Fucheng? ”

The shopkeeper nodded and looked Shen Mingjun up and down.

Earlier, the shopkeeper had learned from his peers that the workshop that printed color New Year pictures in Ninghua County was the same as the one that printed comic books before, and the big shopkeeper behind the scenes was the famous "goddess doctor" Lu Sun. He didn't know that Hui Niangren had arrived in Fucheng, but he thought it was the technology that Shen Mingjun "stole", after all, the color New Year painting was the core secret of the Lu family's workshop, and it was too late to keep it secret, how could it be easy for people to get the technology?

"But I don't know what this guest is called?" When the bookstore manager sees a business opportunity, he naturally asks clearly.

Shen Mingjun replied: "My surname is Shen." ”

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Shen...... Coincidentally, the contemptible people happen to recognize a few printing masters, their skills are first-class, as long as a little guidance, I believe they will master this technology, I wonder if you can be introduced below? ”

The shopkeeper of the bookstore was extremely shrewd, and after he learned that Shen Mingjun had technology in his hands, he did not talk about cooperation, but wanted to introduce a printing master, obviously wanting to steal the technology for himself.

Shen Mingjun didn't know how to answer, and Shen Xi, who was standing beside him, smiled: "Dad, my mother said that we should go back earlier, but we can't delay." ”

Shen Mingjun was a little inexplicable, when did Zhou say this? But Shen Xi had already stood up, and he had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore didn't expect the matter to start, so Shen Mingjun didn't talk about it, and hurriedly stayed: "Shopkeeper Shen stays, it's not too early, how about we find a restaurant and have a glass of water and wine?" ”

Shen Xi politely refused: "This shopkeeper, it is not easy for us to get the technology to print New Year's pictures, and we can't easily reveal it to others, so we can only say goodbye." ”

Only then did the shopkeeper of the bookstore know that people heard his intentions, and a trace of shame appeared on his face. Seeing that the Shen family's father and son were very determined, he hurriedly followed: "Shopkeeper Shen, let's find a place to discuss carefully, okay?" ”

Shen Mingjun wanted to stay and listen to what the shopkeeper of the bookstore had to say, but Shen Xi pulled him hard, obviously not wanting to continue talking with the shopkeeper of the bookstore.

When he was far away, Shen Mingjun asked puzzledly: "Xiaolang, it's hard for someone to introduce us to a printing master, why did you just leave?" ”

Shen Xi sighed: "Dad, can't you hear that he doesn't have the heart to recommend people at all, but wants to find someone to learn our printing technology so that he can print it himself?" ”

Shen Mingjun was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't hear this meaning at all just now. After thinking about it carefully, Shen Mingjun nodded and said, "You really have to be a little more guarded...... But let's take the New Year's picture and ask, it's no wonder that people have this thought. Why don't you put away the New Year's paintings? ”

Shen Xi blinked slyly: "Dad doesn't know, this is hunger marketing, to put it bluntly, it is to take out good things and covet them, but not to supply them." When they look at the hot eyes, they will naturally talk to us, and when the time comes, the talk will not be about cooperating together to open a workshop, but about handing over the printed finished New Year paintings to them to sell. ”

"Huh?"

Shen Mingjun asked puzzledly, "Now that I haven't even found the printing master, is it too early to think so far?" ”

"It's not early, as long as a message is sent to Ninghua here, the workshops in the county town can print hundreds of thousands of semi-finished New Year's paintings every day, and we will hire good people here, and it will be put on the market in a few days." In fact, it is not difficult to find a printer, but it is not so easy to find someone to ship to us, and we don't go to the bookstore to find a printer. ”

Shen Mingjun didn't have much business mind, so he couldn't understand Shen Xi's words for a while, but he felt that his son's words seemed to be very reasonable.

After that, Shen Xi took the colorful New Year paintings, and visited the remaining bookstores in the city with Shen Mingjun, and the situation encountered was basically similar to the previous experience, and the shopkeepers were interested in how to print, and they were eager to get this technology into their hands as soon as possible to make money.

After walking around the city, basically all the bookstores had passed, and it was already the sun setting in the west, and the twilight was getting heavier, and Shen Mingjun was ready to take Shen Xi home.

At this time, Shen Xi pointed to an antique three-story building next to him and said, "Wow, it's so magnificent." ”

Shen Mingjun looked up, and a woman with a handkerchief on the third floor looked down and glanced at Shen Mingjun. The woman's eyebrows are like daisies, her eyes are like water, her nose is soft and her lips are soft, her facial features are extremely exquisite, and her skin is like clotted white jade, which makes people fascinated at first glance.

Due to the distance, it is impossible to see her age, and the only thing that stands out is the pink dress she is wearing, because she is standing high at the window, and I don't know if she is wearing a skirt.

Shen Mingjun glanced at it, his heart beat rapidly, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes were so straight that he couldn't take it back, but the woman avoided it and pulled out of the window.

"Dad, don't look at it...... You've got a mother. Shen Xi pulled Shen Mingjun's sleeve to remind.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Shen Mingjun's old face turned red and his head hung down.

Shen Xi couldn't help complaining about himself, it was obvious that the cheap dad had a beautiful idea after seeing the woman, did he want to be an accomplice of the father's "red apricot out of the wall"? At the moment, no matter what the three-story building was, Shen Xi hurriedly dragged Shen Mingjun away.

After going back, when the family of four sat around to eat together, Shen Xi found that his father was still a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about the graceful jade shadow standing at the window.

For a simple man like Dad who came out of the countryside, the woman was like the position she was standing in, unattainable, so that Shen Mingjun could only look up, but he could watch from a distance and dare not play with it.

"You two have been busy working for two or three days, is there any progress in the workshop?"

Zhou helped Hui Niang with the pharmacy and didn't have time to pay attention to the printing workshop, but when he saw that his husband was a little absent-minded, he thought that his husband was tired of being busy outside, so he couldn't help but ask with concern.

Shen Xi replied for Shen Mingjun: "Mother, things are almost over, you can rest assured that your father will do things." ”

Shen Mingjun was a little surprised when he heard this, and wanted to explain something, but was stopped by Shen Xi with a look.
