In the past few days, Shen Luzhu has been studying the silver ticket with one or two denominations, and she remembers that she had seen a kind of dark currency in her last life, which was very similar to cash banknotes, so she wanted to see if she could make a kind of dark coin with a large denomination similar to a silver ticket.

The silver tickets of Daqian are issued by the government, the size of an adult man's palm, the surrounding frame is painted with dragon patterns, the upper part of the inner frame is written with the words of Daqian official tickets, the left is the number and number of the silver ticket, the right side is the number of the exchange bank, and the middle is written the denomination of the silver ticket, for example, the one in Shen Luzhu's hand is written, and the money pattern silver is one or two whole with the ticket, and there are a few lines of small characters below, and the most important thing is the last sentence: The forger is not slacking off according to the law!

Therefore, it is necessary to make the styls look like them, but also to make people see at a glance that this is not a silver ticket, it is really a technical job!

After dinner that day, Chu Yi said that he was going to go out, Shen Luzhu was bored in the room, so he drew a sample of the new dark coin, she bought the white paper, cut out the paper larger than the silver ticket, and changed the rectangle into a square, expanded the silver ticket in equal proportions, changed the original dragon pattern around, the upper part was painted as an auspicious cloud pattern, and the lower part was painted as a lotus pattern.

The four characters of 'Great Cadre Official Ticket' were changed to 'Heaven and Earth Money Village', and the number of years on both sides was removed, and it was written that 'Heaven and Earth are universal, and they are burned into gold; The good god shelters, and the evil god avoids the sixteen big characters.

Finally, the following lines of small characters, Shen Luzhu thought for a long time and really didn't know what to change, so he simply gave up writing, and directly made a picture of a divine deer and crane in that part of the area, and painted it on the underworld coin, which also corresponds to the situation, and finally wrote ten million taels of silver in the middle, and it is done!

As soon as Chu Yi pushed open the door, Shen Luzhu ran out to greet him: "I have something for you!" ("I'll show you something!") ”）

As soon as the words fell, Shen Luzhu saw the two wooden boards that Chu Yi was holding in his hand, which seemed to be inlaid with something, Chu Yi put the wooden boards on the corner cabinet on the side, and led his wife to sit down by the kang: "What does Azhu want to show me?" ”

Shen Luzhu took the sample drawing to hang on the side and showed it to Chu Yi: "Look! This is the new version of paper money that I just drew, how about it? ”

"How is it a little like the silver ticket of that day, I don't know that Ah Zhu still has such craftsmanship." Chu Yi didn't expect that in just a few days, Shen Luzhu came up with another completely different style, and he actually painted it so well!

"That's according to that, I enlarged it, so that it looks similar, but in fact it's completely different, it's not a forged silver ticket, the denomination is so big, maybe you can sell it without a knife, I'll draw more these days, go back and try it, by the way, what did you just get back?"

"Azhu is amazing!" Chu Yi showed the two wooden boards on the corner cabinet to Shen Luzhu: "I'll just take it, don't hurt your hands." ”

The two wooden boards that Chu Yi took back, one was carved with many grooves, and the other was inlaid with many iron pieces as sharp as a carving knife, and those iron pieces were surrounded by patterns, these two wooden boards were made of Shen Luzhu, the appearance of hollow paper money, but now the material has been changed and it has become three-dimensional!

"You made the mold! How did you come up with the idea to do this? Shen Luzhu was really shocked by Chu Yi, she gave up, Chu Yi actually made the mold quietly!

"I don't know if I can use it, do you want to try it?"

The two of them didn't care about the sky that had completely darkened, they went to get a knife of yellow burnt paper, and tried it in the house, the mold usage is very simple, put the wooden board with the groove below, put the burning paper neatly on the wooden board, and then align the other wooden board, press it down hard, the iron piece penetrates the paper along the groove of the wooden board below, remove the wooden board above, remove the paper money, and the part that was cut off is left in the groove below, and the paper money is carved out of the hollow copper coin-shaped, which can make more than 20 sheets at a time, It's much faster than Shen Luzhu's handwork, not to mention, it's more beautiful and neat without ink!

Shen Luzhu took the cut paper money and looked at it again and again, and suddenly hugged Chu Yi's neck, and the whole person hung on Chu Yi: "God, Chu Yi, you are simply amazing!" Awesome! ”

Chu Yi hugged his wife and chuckled, his Ah Zhu always seemed to like to say something he had never heard before: "What's it when you're stupid?" ”

"It's Chu Yi who is the most powerful, the smartest, and the best! Chu Yi, why are you so good! ”

"Nothing." He just copied the paper money made by Shen Luzhu on the wooden board, carved a groove, and asked the village blacksmith to beat the iron piece, and then put the iron piece on it.

"Originally, I thought that if the new one could be accepted by everyone, I would go to the town to find out if there was a place to help make the printing plate, but now there is no need to worry, we can sell this first!" Shen Luzhu was afraid that there would be too many new things at a time, and it would not be easy to be accepted, so he thought that it was best to take his time!

"Printing plates?"

"Well, it is to engrave the things on this piece of paper on a copper plate or stone plate, then apply ink, and then transfer it to the paper, one at a time, to ensure that each one is the same, and fast!"

Chu Yi nodded, indicating understanding: "Is it okay to plank?" ”

"Plank?" Shen Luzhu's eyes widened, and he looked at Chu Yi with surprise: "You mean ......?"

Chu Yi found that he liked Shen Luzhu's various reactions to him too much, fresh and interesting: "You can try it." ”

In the next few days, Chu Yi continued to make coffins while using his free time to build a pergola, Shen Luzhu took advantage of this time to make part of the burning paper into hollow copper coin burning paper, ready to wait for the pergola to be set up!

On this day, the eldest aunt Wang, who had not seen her for a long time, came to the old house again, and saw that the pergola was only half built next to the courtyard gate, and she was puzzled. But what are you going to do? ”

"It's not the Shen family, instigating the man to do something, the family doesn't agree, and he has to do it alone! I bought so much paper money and came back, but I didn't sell it, and I hid in the house all day and didn't know what I was doing? Speaking of this, Grandma Chu was a little angry, she wanted to see what they could toss out and earn a few dollars back!

Wang is not afraid that they will do some private work, and they can earn a few dollars by selling some paper money, but she is afraid that Chu Yi will only take care of the small family and delay the coffin business of the old house: "Selling paper money? In the end, this is a parent, it is time to only take care of your own little family, but this selling things is a time-consuming job, if this Shen family is not used, won't they all have to point to Chu Yi at that time? Don't be too busy and delay your work at home......"

Grandma Chu was a little angry when she heard her eldest daughter-in-law's words: "He dares!" The old man said at the dinner table that he couldn't delay the work at home! ”

"Auntie, don't be angry, I want my daughter-in-law to see it, maybe it's a hot brain for a while, and I want to come out of it, or I haven't bought anything back and there is no movement, it's not May yet, and the sun is not poisonous, what kind of pergola is used, maybe it's too energetic, just find an excuse to drag the time!" Last time, her son also told her that as an elder, don't worry about the Shen family, the junior, the province is not good, and she wants her to see that the Shen family is a person who can pretend to be an elephant, no, she doesn't need to do anything, she will expose herself!

Grandma Chu calmed down: "I'll just say that she is not a virtuous person, forget it, she likes to toss blindly, anyway, it is her own private money that loses!" ”

"Who said it wasn't, she just let her go if she loves tossing, why should A-Niang be as knowledgeable as her!"

By the time Chu Yi set up the pergola and used a cart with Shen Luzhu to set up the stall next to the courtyard gate, it was already late April. Shen Luzhu put the copper coin burning paper in the middle of the three kinds of paper money, every time someone passed by, she smiled and told people that she was the daughter-in-law of Chu Yi, the second grandson of the Chu family, and they started to sell paper money now, and those who needed it could come over.

If someone notices the copper coin burning paper in the middle, Shen Luzhu will also explain to others: "This is a new style, which was introduced from far away, and now only our family sells it, and it is a copper coin engraved on it!" ”

Usually at this time, while talking, I will pick up a sheet to show the villagers to the sun, so that it is more obvious than stacking together, and it really looks like there are copper plates one by one!

"The ordinary burning paper is a yellow one, there is nothing on it, our kind of copper coin burning paper, one has so many copper coins engraved on it, burn this to the relatives who passed away, what they receive must be different from the ordinary one!"

The ancients believed that after death, the soul would enter another world, the so-called underworld, and burn paper money to the deceased relatives, one is to express their sorrow, and the other is that they really believe that these burned paper money can be received by the deceased relatives for their use in the underworld.

"If you want to buy this, you will spend 16 copper coins for a knife, and 20 copper coins for a knife for ordinary yellow burnt paper, although it is the same price as the town, but if you buy it in the town, it will cost you 10 copper coins for an ox cart back and forth, right? Our family is equivalent to helping you bring it back from the town for free, isn't this a big deal? ”

"You ask this copper coin burns paper? This copper coin burnt paper is naturally more expensive, a knife thirty copper coins, this can not be bought in other homes, the price is a little more expensive, but a penny of the price, the purchase is expensive, and the relatives who passed away receive it are more valuable, isn't it? There is a discount for buying now, if you can buy five knives in one go, you will give one directly! ”

Soon the people in the mountain village knew that the Chu family, who bought the coffin, began to sell paper money again, and got a new copper coin to burn paper, saying that it was not available to other families, and there was a buy five get one free discount, and for a while, the paper money of the Chu family became a topic of conversation in the village after tea and dinner!

I heard about some good things, and some people really went to the town to run around, not to mention that there is really no store, there is a sale of this kind of copper money burning paper, you go to ask, people also ask you, what is copper money burning paper, why haven't you heard of it!

This person went back to the village to learn the matter, and the Chu family's copper money burned paper again! This time, not only the people in the mountain village are talking about it, but even the Shen family in Hexi Village has heard about it!
