Chapter 0161: Hometown Fun
Shangxi Village's newly opened bookstore in the county seat has not even put books on the shelves, and with its absolute price advantage, some people have booked dozens of books as soon as it opens.
The number of reservations for dozens of books, although not much, is only a cup of tea, and Xipu is a small county town after all, and the number of readers is limited, and many people don't know it.
Once all kinds of new books are really put on the shelves, after the news spreads, such a huge price advantage will not make booksellers from all over the world come in droves.
Nowadays, due to the time-consuming and time-consuming printing of engraving, printing a book requires a page by page engraving, a wrong word, the whole page is invalid, and if you want to print a few books, you need thousands of engravings, not to mention how much investment it takes, just the storage of a large number of book plates is a big problem.
Therefore, books are precious. Many people can't afford to buy books, so they can only borrow other people's books to copy them themselves, but it is easy to make mistakes by copying books by themselves, not to mention, it takes a lot of time, whether you can borrow books is already a problem, and whether you can borrow it for so long is even more problematic.
The so-called scholarly family is because there are some books treasured at home, which are passed down from generation to generation as heirlooms, so that children and grandchildren can have books to read for generations.
Books have become family heirlooms, so many readers have such a temper, love books as life, you can borrow other things to say, borrow books, no.
If the price of books is greatly reduced, the number of people who can afford books will increase exponentially, which means that there is a huge business opportunity in it.
Xiao Luan had the intention of wooing Li Ang, and seeing that this was a good opportunity, he immediately rushed to Shangxi Village.
Out of Xipu County, a fork into the road of Shangxi Village, Xiao Luan found that the country road that should have been calm turned out to be people and cars, and the car was on. Most of them are pulling various colored papers.
This surprised her, just looking at so much paper, the scale of this Shangxi Village printing workshop is not small.
Walk to the entrance of Shangxi Village, but see a wooden archway, wrapped with green leaves and red silk, written right above: Shangxi Village
The left and right are written in a couplet: the road leads to the world and the outside of the form. The ink is perverted.
Seeing this couplet, Xiao Luan thought for a while, this ink is on a par with the Tao, although it is a bit far-fetched, but the ink dyeing is not lost, and it is quite suitable for the current scene in Shangxi Village.
This must be Li Ang's masterpiece again, Xiao Luan's beautiful face can't help but have a smile, no matter what, Li Ang is like a comet. It's a sight to behold.
And it's hard to guess his trajectory, Leon's thoughts, or words, do go beyond the framework of existing knowledge, into the invisible that you don't know.
Li Ang is using the extraordinary Dao he has mastered to carry out ink dyeing and promote the change of form.
After some thought, Xiao Luan was even more determined to win over Li Ang. She followed the cart pulling the paper to the west side of Shangxi Village. But I saw that more than a dozen large houses had been built on a flat land dozens of acres wide, and a large open space next to the big house was full of bamboo poles, and the bamboo poles were full of printed pages.
On the other side, there are two large rows of houses under construction. When all are completed, this workshop covers an area of no more than seventy or sixty acres. This scale made Xiao Luan sigh secretly.
Hundreds of men and women shuttled between them, some drying paper, some collecting paper, and the printed and dried paper was sent to a huge platform. There are women who are put under sharp guillotines after they have been leveled;
The young strong man gently pressed down the guillotine, looked at the cutting line, and then pressed hard, and a stack of pages was cut out; Then it was sent to a long table next to it, and someone took a page from each stack of cut paper to form a book.
The person who looked like a steward was checking and shouting: "Fang Siming, you can pay attention, you must come strictly in order, don't mess up the page numbers, otherwise the losses caused will be deducted from your income." ”
"Steward Lin, don't worry, how dare I mess around, I will come strictly in order."
The pages were folded in order, wrapped with the cover, then pressed with a square piece of wood, and then sent to the back for binding, first a few big men with special tools, pressed small eyes on the book with the cover, and then handed it to a large row of women in the back, these women held needles and threads, and made a small eye to put the book on the line, so that the book was ready.
As for the printing process of the pages, it was carried out in the large row of houses, and it was not visible from the outside, Xiao Luan wanted to go and take a look, and immediately someone who looked like a steward came to stop her and said, "This little lady, please stop, I don't know what you are doing?" If you come to buy books, please move to Xipu County, the village has a bookstore in the county, all the books will be shipped to the county for sale, here is a printing workshop, do not accept visits. ”
Although the steward was polite, he obviously didn't intend to let Xiao Luan pass. Xiao Luan bowed and said: "This uncle is invited, the little woman's surname is Xiao, I came to visit Li Ang Li Langjun, I don't know if the uncle can inform me about it." ”
The steward was Gao Lizheng's grandson, named Gao Cheng, after hearing Xiao Luan say that he was coming to visit Li Ang, Gao Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed her to a reception room in front of him to serve tea, and then sent someone to report to Li Ang.
Li Ang is also preparing to go to Chengdu to sell books in the past two days, and so far, only one copy of his "Huanhuaxi Poetry Collection" has been sold, and Hua Xiaomei's private money is only 50 yuan.
Of course, his fundamental purpose is to make his reputation through this sky-high book, so that once he passes the state test and becomes a township tribute, it will be difficult for others to make irresponsible remarks.
It is a pity that in the past two days, Chengdu is strictly investigating the remaining party of the Thang Long Society, and martial law is imposed in the city;
Li Ang had no choice but to sit at home to read, and go to Huang Siniang's house after reading, Huang Siniang dressed up charming and charming every day, like a ripe apple, exuding an attractive fragrance.
He was reading a book in the back garden of Huang Siniang's house with Hongxing's legs, and when he heard Fang Siming shouting outside the courtyard, he had to put down the book, and by the way, he took a handful on Hongxing's soft chest before he laughed and went out.
After Li Ang left, Huang Siniang looked at the happy and ashamed red apricot, and then looked at the empty courtyard after Li Ang left, and couldn't help but feel empty, that guy, knock on the door if you like it, and come in directly over the wall if you don't like it, and even peek at her and Hong Xing bathing unabashedly.
But it's all up to this, and he always avoids the last door, intentionally or unintentionally, which is really annoying.
"Stinky girl, don't think about spring."
Hongxing bit her lip and replied, "Don't you want to be a lady?" ”
"You!" Hongxing's unbearable eyes made Huang Siniang's body inexplicably hot, soft and hot.
"Lady's ........." Hong Xing snorted glutinously, Huang Siniang nodded while holding the drum of the chezi, Hong Xing got up, staggered back to the room, and brought the small box containing Mr. Jiao;
When she returned to the backyard pavilion, she saw that Huang Siniang's dress was already scattered, and her bewitching body was writhing on the bamboo..........
