The first step in setting up a publishing house is to select a location, and then to configure printing equipment and recruit training personnel. For Han Fei, the most concerned thing is to recruit reliable people, especially typesetting and proofreading personnel, who must not only be literate, but also have a flexible mind. It's not something that can be done by spending money, it depends on chance.

As for printing equipment, almost all books in this era were engraving printing, which meant that every page of text printed, a template had to be engraved, which was time-consuming, laborious, and costly. If the print newspaper also adopts this model, there is no future.

When Han Fei had the idea of starting a newspaper, he immediately thought of movable type printing.

In fact, there was clay movable type in the pre-Song Dynasty, but due to various reasons, this advanced technology was not developed. Even due to the war and the change of dynasties, movable type printing has almost disappeared from the market in this era, and perhaps only a few people who like to study ancient books have some understanding.

Of course, Han Fei has a super system, so naturally he will not copy the clay movable type of bad reviews. Movable metal type is the most ideal, but the cost is too high, and with Han Fei's current economic strength, he can't afford it, so he decided to use wooden movable type made of jujube wood.

"Carving wooden movable type is also a technical job, where to find a skilled craftsman?"

Han Fei has a big head when he thinks of talents, a loyal, reliable and capable talent is not something that can be found with money. The publishing house is still in the planning, not to mention for the time being, Yuelaiju is because there are no available people, which limits the development and has to seek cooperation with others.

Thinking of this, Han Fei suddenly remembered that today was the third day, and the He family still hadn't moved at all, could it be that the little lady didn't convince her father and brother? He looked at the sun that was almost noon, and felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart.

At present, the relationship with Han Fei is better, and the only businesses that have the strength to cooperate with Yuelaiju are the He family and the Zhang family in the south of the city, the He family has the strongest strength and is the most ideal partner.

He suddenly thought of the Wei family next door to the Liang family, and then dispelled this thought. Although the Wei family is strong, it is mainly engaged in the business of medicinal herbs and silk, and is not involved in the catering industry.

"It seems that we are ready to negotiate with the Zhang family!" Han Fei made up his mind, and when he looked up, he found that he had walked to Jia Baoqin's door, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister Qin, ...... Qin" At this time, he remembered that Jia Baoqin had moved into the backyard and lived with Mrs. Liang.

He was about to tell Ling'er to go to the backyard to call Jia Baoqin out, and when he thought about it, she was going to edit the newspaper with Mrs. Liang, so he didn't alarm her, and went out to Yuelaiju.

"Childe, you came by coincidence, the old man is planning to send a guy to call you!" As soon as Shopkeeper Wu saw Han Fei, he greeted him excitedly.

Han Fei smiled: "Uncle Wu, what are you so happy about?" ”

"Childe, the box you ordered to make has been completed, can you see if it meets the requirements?"

Han Fei was also very happy when he heard that the simple refrigerator had been ready, and said while walking to the backyard: "Uncle Wu, have you tried the mezzanine with water?" The sealing of the sandwich must be bad, if it leaks, the roast duck will be broken! ”

"Childe, the interlayer is bonded with cooked cowhide and glutinous rice milk, and I have tried it with water, but it doesn't leak!"

"That's good!"

In this era, there is no waterproof glue or the like, and Han Fei can't put forward higher requirements.

In an empty house in the backyard, there were several wooden boxes of different sizes, Han Fei opened the lid of a wooden box, checked it carefully, nodded and smiled: "The workmanship is good, and if there are customers from other places coming over, introduce the function of this box to them, and let them pay part of the deposit, as long as the box is not damaged, you can get a full refund." ”

"Childe, there is no usage fee, so the cost of this box ......"

"Uncle Wu, this box can be recycled and evenly apportioned, without much cost, but it ensures the quality of the roast duck and wins more foreign customers, which is enough!"

"Well, Childe thinks long-term! Childe, how do you use this box? ”

"When using, put the cold roast duck in the middle, then put half of the water in the surrounding mezzanine, add a piece of saltpeter, and seal it! This is the refrigeration method, keep it for two or three days without spoiling, and there should be no problem! ”

Han Fei paused for a moment, and then said: "For those whose journey is not more than a day, you can also use the hot storage method!" ”

The refrigeration method, Wu shopkeeper can understand, the water in the interlayer, after adding saltpeter, becomes ice, but the hot storage method ......

"Childe, how do you do this hot storage method?"

"Haha, Uncle Wu, is the thick cotton wool on the outside of the sandwich of this wooden box like a quilt? Placing the hot roast duck in the middle is equivalent to covering it with a quilt, and of course it won't cool down so quickly! ”

Uncle Wu suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I am old and confused, I haven't understood such a simple truth!" Childe, so let's make the cotton wool pad thicker, can we keep it warm for a longer time? ”

"That being said, it can't be too long, otherwise the roast duck will be stuffy!"

Uncle Wu thought about it, it was easy to spoil overnight meals in summer, the same reason.

"Uncle Wu, let's settle this matter like this, and when we find deficiencies in actual operation, we will gradually improve ......"

Han Fei was about to discuss with Shopkeeper Wu the possibility of contacting the Zhang family in the south of the city, when he suddenly found Qinglong probing his brain at the door, and hurriedly scolded: "Qinglong, why did you come to the restaurant?" Come in and talk about something! ”

"Young master, He Cuiqin, the eldest lady of the He family of Yipinxuan, came to the Liang Mansion to find you!"

That little girly skin finally showed up. Han Fei groaned for a moment and asked, "Qinglong, did she come alone, or did she come with her second brother?" ”

"Young master, the little one only saw Miss He, not the second master of the He family, oh, Miss He came over this time and escorted a cart of cages!"

Han Fei couldn't decide He Cuiqin's intentions, so he said to the shopkeeper Wu: "Uncle Wu, I'll go back and see, it's best if the He family is willing to cooperate, if you are not willing to cooperate, let's discuss it again tomorrow and contact the Zhang family in the south of the city!" ”

When Han Fei rushed back to the Liang Mansion, the He family's family had already carried the cage into the front yard of the Liang family, he glanced at a few boxes suspiciously, and walked into the front hall.

Miss He is still dressed as a man when she came over last time, and she is accompanied by Jia Baoqin, who is also dressed as a man. The two had been sitting dry, drinking tea with their heads down to kill their boredom, and when they saw Han Fei enter the door, they stood up together.

"Big brother, Miss He is here......"

Han Fei motioned for Jia Baoqin to sit down on the side, and said to He Cuiqin: "Miss He, did you agree to cooperate with Yuelaiju when you came to the door this time?" ”

"Of course, what Miss Ben said, doesn't it count?" He Cuiqin proudly pointed to the cage outside the door and said, "Miss Ben has brought all the deposits for the exclusive right to operate in Tianfu, you can collect it!" ”

Only then did Han Fei understand that the box in the courtyard contained 100,000 taels of silver, and he couldn't help but scold, "Nima, such a large amount of silver taels, won't you open a silver ticket?" ”

100,000 taels of cash, not to mention the storage and transportation problem, even if it is checked and collected, it will not be completed in a while and a half, Han Fei knew that He Cuiqin was deliberately blocking him. He glanced at He Cuiqin's smug look, and his heart was even more angry, "Scold the next door, little girl, next time you seize the opportunity, you will definitely beat your little round buttocks to pieces!" ”

"Miss He, congratulations on making the right decision!" Han Fei smiled faintly and said to Jia Baoqin: "You go and call Qinglong Ling'er and them to count the silver taels!" ”

After a while, He Cuiqin saw Jia Baoqin coming over with five little children, and couldn't help shouting: "The surname is Han, why don't you count it yourself, when will those five children count?" ”
