Engraving printing? This is the quintessence of the country! Although the Northern Song Dynasty Bi Sheng has invented the printing of clay movable type, but limited by conditions, has not been large-scale promotion and use, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the land of China is still large-scale use of engraving printing technology, but with the invasion of Western civilization, the large-scale promotion and use of movable type printing technology, to the twentieth century, it is difficult to find this kind of technology on the land of China, I don't think of the opportunity to see here today, this can be to watch and watch, and it is not in vain that we travel to this great Zhou Dynasty. Why don't you use the excuse of looking for a job to see and learn? Lin Yi immediately felt itchy, immediately turned around and walked back to the street, asked a passer-by which bookstore was addressed, strode forward, and rushed to the door.

"That's it?" Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the gatehouse of a large mansion with great momentum, and walked in slowly. When you enter the door, there are dozens of carved carved plates in the front yard, the handwriting on them is beautifully carved, but they are all reversed, and there is a 50-year-old master in the courtyard who is concentrating on carving words on a wooden board. Lin Yi walked to his side gently, squatted down and looked at his lettering carefully, and was very impressed by his knife work.

The old ancestor is really amazing! Such a clever printing technique was invented, and if this skill is passed on, it will be a cultural attraction that can be used for tourism development. Lin Yi was thinking in his heart, when he heard a woman's stern voice behind him: "Where are you an idler?" Why did you come to our bookstore? ”

Lin Yi looked back and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing behind him, with a slender figure and a gorgeous posture, with a pair of big black and white eyes that were very good-looking, and she was looking at him fiercely with her hands on her waist.

Wow! Isn't this little girl good-looking? Although he looks angry, he likes it when he looks at it. Lin Yi stood up and said with a smile: "My name is Lin Yi, am I here to apply for your printer?" ”

The girl looked at him a few times, and seeing that he looked quite elegant, she frowned and asked, "Which Lin Yi, are you literate?" ”

"Literacy, literacy! Can I still memorize poetry? Lin Yi stared at the two bulging peaks on her chest, and replied with a smile.

"Where...... Will you recite me a poem? The girl took a step back, her eyes avoiding his lustful gaze, and commanded.

Lin Yi immediately shook his head and chanted: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground, raise your head to look at the bright moon, and bow your head to think of your hometown." ”

"Hmmm! Yes, Li Bai's poems are a bit of a reader, come in with me! The girl said. Turning around and leading him, he walked into the second door.

Entering the second gate, the courtyard inside is different, on the left is a slip room, on the right there are two craftsmen are holding a brush, in the basin containing ink to brush on the engraving, behind him there is a person with white paper lightly covered on the engraving plate brushed with ink, when you take it down, the paper has been printed on the words.

Oh! It turns out that this is what engraving printing is all about? Lin Yi unconsciously stopped and stared blankly with his eyes, full of praise in his heart, very proud of the four great inventions of ancient China. Don't underestimate this printing technology! It is a huge booster to promote the inheritance of knowledge and civilization in human society, without it, it is difficult to imagine that human society can get rid of the ignorant and backward feudal society, into the age of steam, the age of electricity.

was sighing in his heart, only to hear the girl snort coldly and said, "Let's go!" Let's go! What is the grinding rock! My dad is still waiting in the backyard? ”

Lin Yi woke up in shock, and hurriedly followed the girl into the door of the inner house, the front of the inner house is five tall tiled houses, and there are four wing rooms on each side, but it is slightly lower, and the courtyard is covered with blue bricks, and it is very clean. The girl walked to the door of the east wing and shouted, "Daddy! Someone came to apply? ”

"Call him in!" There was a very dull voice in the room. The girl opened the curtain and invited Lin Yi to walk in, and she followed up.

Inside the room sat an old man in his fifties, dressed in a foreign suit, with a sallow face, sitting firmly behind a bookcase, with a hint of sadness on his face.

"You're here to apply?" The old man asked absent-mindedly.

Lin Yi nodded very sincerely.

"Daddy! His name is Lin Yi, and he knows a little poetry, I see that others are still honest, so I brought him to you! The girl said.

"Do you know the words?" The old man asked, looking at him.

"It's a little bit more reasonable!" Lin Yi replied with an honest look.

The old man looked at him with his eyes, leaned forward, stared at Lin Yi's face, and asked, "Look at your appearance, you should be a scholar, but you are a talent?" When I said the last two words, I bit hard.

Lin Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm really ashamed, although I have been studying for a few days, I can't do an article, and now I am just a flat-headed ordinary person, not a showman!" ”

"Oh! That's good! That's good! The old man showed a happy look on his face, and said: "Xiucai is generally low-eyed, and he is unwilling to do us who make a living, your conditions just meet the requirements, but you can read and write, and you must also know some calligraphy and painting, can you write a few words and draw a picture for me to see?" ”

Recruit a suffering worker, what kind of pictures and what words do you write? Lin Yi was very disdainful, but he still walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen, and casually drew a vivid and gorgeous peony, and wrote a red peony poem by Tang Wangwei on it, the poem said: "The green is quiet and quiet, and the red clothes are shallow and deep." The heart of the flower is broken, and the spring color does not know the heart. After writing, he bowed down and stood aside.

"Hmmm! Not bad! The old man stroked the long beard under his chin with his hand, nodded in praise, looked at him carefully with his eyes again, and said, "You are in good condition in all aspects, so it's better to stay!" He turned his head to look at his daughter and ordered: "Zhu'er, take him down, and call him Bai Chengyong's apprentice!" ”

"Yes! Daddy! Zhu'er agreed, led Lin Yi out of the room again, and came to the front yard, standing next to the craftsman who was holding a knife and carefully carving, and after he finished carving a word, he said very respectfully: "Uncle Bai!" This is a newly hired worker in our store, my father said to follow you to carve the engraving for two days first? ”

Bai Chengyong stopped what he was doing, looked at Lin Yi coldly with his eyes, threw him a knife, and said, "Let's work!" With that, he turned back and carved the words he had written on the board.

Zhu'er smiled at Lin Yi, as if a gorgeous begonia flower had bloomed, and said lightly: "Lin Yi, Uncle Bai is the best engraving master here, you can follow him to learn knife skills!" In two days, my dad will teach you how to draw. With that, he turned around and walked back to the second gate.

Gee! What a beautiful sound! Like the fairy music in the sky, Lin Yi held the knife in his hand, and he was stupid! It's really unbelievable that there is such a beautiful woman hidden in this deep mansion compound! Ha ha! Blessed is it, this bookstore is not in vain, there are beautiful women to admire, and the work is also energetic!

Lin Yi watched Zhu'er walk into the second door, the figure disappeared, and only then did he turn around and look at Bai Chengyong's engraving. Bai Chengyong finished carving a word in his hand, picked up the wooden board with the words written on it, handed it to him, and said, "Young man, follow my example, let's practice first!" Our work is mainly to be patient and meticulous, and slowly I will teach you knife techniques! ”

Lin Yi nodded, took the wooden board, and carved it according to Bai Chengyong's appearance, but after a while, a hand holding a knife became very sore.

Depend on! This craft is not easy to learn! Besides, what's the use of learning this technology? In the future, I don't expect it to be a food and a craftsman of engraving? Can you support the two ladies in the family? Thirty literary and labor money a day, after a month of hard work, the most consistent money, not even the fat powder money of the new beauty? We're going to mess around for a few days! Thinking of this, Lin Yi first deflated himself, stopped the knife in his hand, and while kneading his sore wrist, he took the opportunity to ask, "Master Bai, what is the name of our boss?" How are people? ”

Bai Chengyong replied while carving words: "Our boss is called Yang Cheng, and he is a very good person." ”

Lin Yi asked again: "I saw that the recruitment notice said that it was a bookstore recruiting workers, could it be that Boss Yang is still selling books?" A bookseller? ”

Bai Chengyong said with a smile: "Of course, a bookseller with a bit of fame in Bianjing, who doesn't have a book-printing workshop at home?" Boss Yang can also rank in the top 30 in this Bianjing City, and naturally there is a book printing workshop at home! ”

At this moment, Zhu'er was holding a bowl of boiling water, walked up to Lin Yi and Bai Chengyong gracefully, handed the water to Bai Chengyong, and said softly and concernedly: "Uncle Bai, you drink water!" ”

Bai Chengyong took the bowl, drank it dry, and handed it back to her, but Zhu'er smiled at Lin Yi intentionally or unintentionally, turned around and walked back gracefully!

Wow! This little beauty smiled so beautifully just now, it can be described as natural beauty! Look at the figure, look at the buttocks, and the thin waist, Lin Yi's eyes were immediately seduced again, looking at Zhu'er's back, and he came to his senses.

"Hey! Feed! Uncle Bai! This Boss Yang's daughter is so beautiful! Look at the plump chest and round buttocks, this is the biggest beauty in life if you sleep under the covers! Do you say? Lin Yi smiled shyly.

Bai Chengyong's face gradually changed, and when he looked at Lin Yi, he showed a trace of ruthlessness, and said lightly: "She is my daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, you kid don't beat her idea, otherwise I will castrate you and send you to the palace as a eunuch!" ”

Embarrassed! What an embarrassment! actually said such a thing to someone's future husband, but fortunately, Lin Yi was very thick-skinned, and said with a smile: "How could it be?" I'm just talking about it casually, and besides, I already have a tigress wife at home, and I will never dare to mess with flowers! With that, he picked up the board and carved the words on it in a serious manner.
