Chapter 52 Boss Lin who assigns work

"Well, that's going to work."

Lin Yanchen bowed slightly, if these people didn't have experience in sealing, then he would have to teach this job himself.

Now it saves a lot of trouble.

"Lord Lin, what style of seal do you want to make, and what words are engraved on it?"

The carpenter in the middle, Lao Li, asked.

Lin Yanchen pretended to wave his hand mysteriously, "No, what this official wants is not an ordinary seal, but it is the same as the principle of the seal." ”

As he spoke, Lin Yanchen took out a thick pile of small square paper from his cuff and handed it to the carpenter Lao Li.

"Oh, just engrave the half-inch square according to the reverse of the words above, and make a large concave wooden plate, the depth of which should be consistent with the thickness of the small wooden block, can you understand?"

Lin Yanchen tried his best to slow down and explained movable type printing to the three carpenters in the simplest way to ensure that they could understand.

After the three of them blinked in a daze, Lin Yanchen added another sentence.

"By the way, when you're done with the wooden blocks, remember to put a layer of paraffin on them, and the effect has to be to the point where the ink can easily adhere to it, but it will fall off when you wipe it. And the carved handwriting must be beautiful and powerful, with a clear eye, if you are not strong enough to write, the official can go to the country to find a great Confucian guide. ”

After that, Lao Li, the carpenter who reacted first, bowed his hand.

"Lord Lin doesn't have to be like this, the old man has been carving for many years, and he thinks that the carved words are no worse than some famous calligraphers, so he doesn't have to bother the Confucian of the country!"

Lin Yanchen couldn't help but nod appreciatively.

If nothing else, it's a good thing to have self-confidence, provided you don't get slapped in the face afterwards.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, Lin Yanchen pointed to the carpenter on the right and said.

"Give this engraving to the two of them, and you will be responsible for making molds for the official."

The carpenter was slightly stunned, and then asked:

"What do you want?"

Requirements......

Lin Yanchen touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said slowly.

"The top of the mold should be a long handle that can be held with one hand, and the bottom is a circular depression, the size is about eight inches in length, 2 inches in thickness, and there must be a pattern at the top, at least twenty, each pattern can not be the same, but it must be exquisite, and the official will personally check it later."

After hearing this, the carpenter nodded seriously and wrote down all of Lin Yanchen's requests.

It's just that he has some strange feelings in his heart, what is he doing with this strange mold?

But Lin Yanchen walked to the last blacksmith with a smile.

This time, even the moon cake mold has been arranged, and tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival poetry will definitely make those talented Confucians unforgettable!

But when he saw Liu Yong's old face again, he was in a bad mood.

Every time I talk to this honest man, it's always suffocating, no, it's Zhixi.

"The two of you came with the official, this time the time is urgent, and it is too late for you to strike iron from scratch, so you will directly start making the semi-finished products provided by the Ministry of Industry."

"I wonder what Lord Lin is going to make?" Liu Yong asked suspiciously while following behind Lin Yanchen.

Lin Yanchen is too lazy to take care of it, this Liu Yong is like kraft candy, not the more he chews, the more he chews, but he is so hateful that he grits his teeth and is helpless.

When he came to the hut next to the imperial dining room, he stopped.

This place was originally used for storing vegetables, but he arranged for someone to temporarily vacate it and place some simple iron-striking tools.

"You two go and familiarize yourself with the utensils first, and the official will draw the drawings for you."

"The villain obeys."

……

After a cup of tea.

Lin Yanchen shook off his hand that was sore because he hadn't started writing for a long time, and handed the two drawings he had drawn to Liu Yong and the others.

In his previous life, he was also a professor, and he still has this drawing skills.

So the moment the two blacksmiths saw the drawings, they were directly stunned.

"Lord Lin, although the thing you painted is small and has never been seen before, this level of fineness, the villain is confident that it will be made for you within a quarter of an hour!"

"Yes, this drawing not only has a bird's-eye view, a side view, a front view, and even a detailed analysis of each part, so we can make it exactly according to the drawing. Master Lin's drawing skills, I'm afraid that those masters in our Ministry of Engineering will be embarrassed when they see it! ”

Lin Yanchen listened to the sycophants of the two very useful, but he didn't forget to pour a basin of cold water on the two.

"I'll give you this, at least thirty copies of each, and you must do it before the poetry meeting begins tonight! Do you hear me, don't give me a lazy grinder! ”

"Huh? Thirty servings! This ......"

"What? If it can't be done, say it now, and then the official will go to the Ministry of Industry to replace people. Lin Yanchen pursed his lips disdainfully.

With such a high salary, you want to do some normal work? I want to eat it!

In his previous life, this salary was enough for him to find hundreds of college students!

Even in this world, he took twenty taels of silver to the national prison.

Looking for those pretentious readers, then in the face of huge sums of money, readers are still rushing to do it.

"Hey, Lord Lin, don't worry, we will definitely be able to complete it ahead of schedule, and you can accept it at that time!" The man next to Liu Yong hurriedly packed the ticket, for fear of losing his job.

Lin Yanchen wanted to explain some more details, but saw that Liu Yong was about to open his mouth to speak.

He shuddered, and instantly burst out of all the eight grades of cultivation, and galloped out as soon as he slipped away.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Lin Yanchen was relieved.

"Damn, every time I listen to Liu Yong speak, Lao Tzu has a heart attack for a long time."

He wasn't going to go back and give the blacksmiths anything more.

Anyway, it's not bad what has been marked on the drawings.

In the end, it's about letting the two of them make a whole lamb stove and an old-fashioned hot pot pot.

Although it is normally a copper pot, copper is extremely expensive in this world, even rarer than gold, and only kings and nobles are eligible to enjoy it.

Therefore, it can only be replaced with a flat version of iron.

The reason why he wanted to do these two things was mainly because he had consulted people in advance about the taste habits of Zheng and Jing.

Yasukuni has many grasslands and plains, so he likes to eat beef and mutton and fresh milk.

Zheng Guo is especially fond of spicy food, which can be said to be no spicy or happy.

Therefore, Lin Yanchen planned to prepare two hard dishes, the extra spicy butter hot pot and the roasted whole sheep.

This is not only in line with the tastes of the two countries, but also very different from the two countries in terms of dishes and practices, which is guaranteed to make the literati of the two countries addicted as soon as they eat it!

And after finishing the blacksmith, he only needs to pay attention to the progress of these craftsmen in the courtyard.

But at this moment, a little eunuch suddenly ran in from the forbidden army, panting and shouting.

"Lord Lin, there are people looking for you outside Lord Lin!"

Lin Yanchen followed the prestige, this person was his newly adopted younger brother, named Xiao Dezi, a real eunuch.

"Who is looking for this official, but Your Majesty?"

Xiao Dezi waved his hand again and again.

"Then how can we, if Your Majesty wants to come, how dare we stop it!"
