Then, Ji Shan went door-to-door to ask, and finally found twenty young and strong men, who could start working for Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai tomorrow.

Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai came out of their uncle's house, but they didn't rush home, but went to find Carpenter Yao.

For this engraving printing, there must be a wooden board first, so that the reverse characters can be engraved on the wooden board, and then printed with ink.

Therefore, this first step, of course, is to find someone to make the plank, Ye Guoguo thought of the Yao carpenter in the village, and asked Yao carpenter to make the plank, and Ji Jingbai had no opinion.

Carpenter Yao is very rough, he is a big old man, and he speaks rougher, but he is a very good person, and his craftsmanship is okay.

Moreover, this wooden board does not require too high technical content, and Ye Guoguo will naturally not be reluctant to let others do it.

At this moment, Carpenter Yao was in a panic.

In the past month, except for Ji Jingbai who came to him to buy a carriage and two kang tables, he basically has no business.

To be precise, he hasn't had much business in recent years.

When he first started to be a carpenter, because there was no carpenter in the village, his business was still very good, but after a long time, the people in the village asked him to do everything they should do, and a small table and chair could be used for many years, and his business naturally deteriorated.

It's also that he doesn't do any complicated tricks, it's just a very simple furniture style, otherwise, he will send the things he makes to the town to sell.

The carpenters in the town made much better than him, and even the simplest style was carved with flowers, and it was about the same price as him.

Fortunately, the business was good at the beginning, and he accumulated some money, otherwise the business was so bad, and the family only had an acre of land, where would his family live.

But when the accumulated money is always used up, the business has not been good, anyway, Carpenter Yao can be annoyed every day to baldness.

was sitting in the courtyard, idle and annoying, and suddenly saw Ji Jingbai holding Ye Guoguo here, he immediately stood up happily, rubbing his hands, and strode over: "Jingbai, Jingbai daughter-in-law, are you going to do something?" ”

"Hmm." Ye Guoguo nodded.

Carpenter Yao was even more happy: "What do you want to do?" ”

Ye Guoguo: "Plank. Like this size. She pulled out a piece of paper the size of the book she was going to print at home.

Then, I talked a little bit more about the thickness.

Only then did he ask, "Uncle Yao, can you do it?" ”

"Of course you can! Is that what do you want such a board to do, to be a cutting board? That's a little small. Carpenter Yao said.

Ye Guoguo scratched his head: "Uncle, if you can do it, just help me do it." ”

Make it clear what the plank is going to be used for.

"Okay then, I'll do it for you." Carpenter Yao is also refreshing. "A small board like this, I'll be ready in a while, it doesn't cost any wood, and you don't have to give me money, I didn't send you a small bench for the carriage your family bought from me last time, so I should have given it to you."

"No, uncle, I'm going to make 20,000 yuan." Ye Guoguo hurriedly said.

"What?" Carpenter Yao plucked out his ears, thinking he had misheard.

Ye Guoguo: "I want to make 20,000 planks like this." ”

This piece of wood is equivalent to a page, a book has so many pages, and there are so many books, I will buy other books in the future, adding up to more pages, 20,000 planks may not be enough, anyway, let's do 20,000 first, and then do it when there is less.

"Are you serious?" Carpenter Yao still couldn't believe it, his eyes were as wide as camel bells.
