Chapter 156: Rubbing the East Palace
The old craftsman's craftsmanship was really not imaginary, a carving knife in his hand was like flying, and as the sawdust fell, small square seal-like movable characters appeared. The handwriting on it is even more neat and beautiful, and for a while, looking at the way he held the carving knife, there was really a feeling of "flowers under the pen".
It only took an afternoon of work to carve out nearly 100 words from the hands of this old craftsman.
Wei Renshi laid out the mold, and then said to the hall owner: "Hall master, look at these words, if we want this sentence, pick out all the words in this sentence and arrange them in the mold." ”
As he spoke, Wei Renshi picked out some of those words and fixed them in the mold, and a craftsman next to him took an ink brush and began to brush them.
Then, Wei Renshi took a piece of paper and covered it, and the craftsman next to him scraped it again.
Soon, the paper was removed, and the vertical lines were printed.
Wei Renshi continued: "If it is according to the current method, if you want to change the sentence to print, then you need to re-engrave the engraving. However, with the method of movable type, you only need to pick out the words you need and replace them, and you can continue printing them immediately. ”
As he spoke, Wei Renshi took out the movable type, picked up a few more sentences and put them into the mold, and asked the craftsman next to him to print the next one again.
"If there is a typo in it, according to the previous method, it will have to be engraved again." Wei Renshi continued to demonstrate: "But now you only need to take out this character and replace it with the right word, and then you can continue to print." ”
The pavilion owner's expression was very excited, and he reached out with some trembling hands and took the papers.
Putting down the paper, he selected a sentence from the pile of movable words, then took the mold and arranged the words with his own hands.
He still murmured there: "This is the selected word, and if it is fixed with a mold underneath, it is equivalent to a 'carving'...... You can take it and print it. ”
As he spoke, he put down the engraved seals with his hand, and took the oil brush from the craftsman's hand and brushed the ink on the movable type. I took a piece of paper and spread it out and scraped it hard, and a vertical line of fly-headed small letters jumped on the paper.
"Okay...... Okay......" The owner ignored the ink on his hands, stared at the pile of movable words in front of him, and laughed.
After a long time, he cleaned up the movable type in his own hands and connected to the mold.
Then he turned his head to look at Wei Renshi and said, "Renshi, let's go to the East Palace now!" ”
Wei Renshi looked outside, it was already dark.
Then he said: "Pavilion master, it's getting late outside, are we ...... now?"
"It doesn't matter." The owner waved his hand and said, "This matter is about books, and it is a big deal. It's more about the world's readers, and it's even more important. The old man can't wait for a moment! ”
Since the pavilion owner insisted, Wei Renshi naturally didn't say anything more.
The owner of the hall took Wei Renshi to the East Palace, and after passing the rumor, he entered in a short time.
As the chamberlain walked behind, Wei Renshi suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance, and his expression was a little strange.
When he arrived at the place, Wei Renshi really saw a group of people grilling around the barbecue grill.
Next to him, he was holding a plate in one hand and chopsticks in the other hand to pull the meat slices on the plate, but it was Li Yu.
Li Yu saw that the two of them had arrived, so he smiled and said, "Master Gao, Wei Sheng, why did you come here so late, but there is something important?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers do have important matters to report to His Highness." The hall owner bowed and replied.
Li Yu frowned slightly, and said, "Okay, let's go over and talk about it." ”
The hall owner hurriedly said: "It's great news, Your Highness doesn't need to summon, it's better to have dinner first." ”
Speaking of this, Wei Renshi's stomach let out a rumbling sound very cooperatively.
The owner looked at Wei Renshi embarrassedly, and Wei Renshi looked at his stomach in embarrassment.
"Hahaha!" There was a burst of laughter, and it was extremely harsh.
Wei Renshi followed the sound and looked over and found that it was Li Daizong'er who was looking at him and laughing. I wanted to glare at her, but because Li Yu's family was there, I had to turn a blind eye.
Li Yu smiled and asked, "Master Gao, Wei Sheng, haven't you two had dinner yet?" ”
"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince, the owner of the hall and the students have been busy all afternoon, and they went straight to you, and it is true that they have not eaten yet." Wei Renshi replied first.
Li Yu looked at Wei Renshi, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Then let's eat here first." ”
Just waiting for your words.
Wei Renshi was not polite at all, he looked grateful, and said loudly: "Your Highness Xie! ”
Then he went over and feasted.
Is it embarrassing? That's for sure, after all, this is Li Yu's family.
But I'm really hungry!
I can only turn embarrassment into appetite, ignore others, and eat a lot.
Ouch, and cooking cakes. So he reached out and took one, gently and slowly broke it from the middle, and left some to prevent it from being separated in half, and then took a few skewers of roast meat, sandwiched it in the middle of the cooking cake, and a meat sandwich bun was ready.
Take a big bite and be cool!
Anyway, the people around him must be Li Yu's family, and he doesn't know any of them, so he can't talk casually.
It's Li Yu who let him eat, so naturally he has to take his life!
Whatever, fill your stomach first. Ben Gongzi is hungry twice!
So Wei Renshi didn't say a word, didn't look anywhere, and buried his head in hardship.
The crowd was attracted by the way he ate, and when they saw him feasting so much, they always felt as if the ones in his hands were more delicious than those in their own hands.
Wei Renshi had already put aside his embarrassment at this moment, he didn't care about other people's eyes, he was taking care of the beauty of eating by himself, and suddenly felt that someone was pulling his clothes, so he looked sideways, but saw that it was Li Daizong'er who was dragging him.
"You...... You eat like this...... Isn't it delicious?! Li Daizong'er looked at the barbecue with the cooking cake in his hand and asked.
Wei Renshi just got one in his hand, so he handed it to her: "You can taste it." ”
Li Daizong'er took it and took a big bite like Wei Renshi.
The meat still tastes like that...... Li Daizong'er thought about it, but ...... Why do you think it tastes so much more enjoyable than a recipe?
was thinking about it, but saw Wei Renshi suddenly stretch out his hand and point to an attendant.
"Hey, this waiter, give me the rest of the bowl!" Wei Renshi pointed to a waiter with a plate and said. He had brought rice just now, but not everyone wanted it, so there was still a bowl left on the plate in his hand, and he was about to take it away.
Hearing Wei Renshi's words, the waiter was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Li Yu.
Li Yu smiled dumbly, raised his hand and gestured, and said, "Go and serve it to Wei Sheng." ”
The chamberlain hurriedly brought it over. Wei Renshi took the bowl, it was so fragrant!
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!" Wei Renshi shouted, which made Li Yu shake his head and laugh.
"This rice is not bad!" Wei Renshi's attention went to the bowl again for the next moment, took the barbecue again, and began to put it in the rice, after putting a lot of it, and then mixed the rice and the barbecue together.
"Bibimbap, hahaha!" Wei Renshi was very happy.
Such a good rice, Wei Renshi has not eaten it since he crossed over to Datang.
Even if you come to Chang'an later, the rice is very expensive, and it is far from being as good as the rice in the bowl in front of you.
Li Daizong'er ran over again, this time with an extra bowl in his hand, and stabbed Wei Renshi with his fingers: "Quick, give me some evenness!" ”
Hey, you have to taste whatever Ben Gongzi eats? Why are you so greedy?!
Wei Renshi immediately took two large mouthfuls before saying, "Huh? What did His Royal Highness the County Lord say? ”
"You!" Li Daizong'er was suddenly furious, and as soon as he raised his foot, he was about to step on Wei Renshi's foot.
"Dai Zong'er!" A young man suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her, saying, "Don't be willful. ”
After that, he smiled at Wei Renshi again: "Wei Xiannan don't need to pay attention to it, let's eat quickly." ”
Wei Renshi looked at him, he was about twenty years old, and he seemed to be the biggest one in this group of young people.
I suddenly thought in my heart, isn't this Li Chun?
