Chapter 116 Want to open a bookstore

Several boys became more and more skilled in the seal engraving skills. Chen Fan customized a lot of clay blanks and asked them to carve inverted single characters at one end according to the font she wrote, and then burn them with fire.

"Sister, what is the purpose of carving so many seals?" Chen Zhongliang asked curiously.

"Sign up," Chen Fan said. Each of the children had engraved seals for themselves.

"Why do you have to print so many words?" he continued.

Chen Fan looked at the boys and waited for them to answer.

"Does my elder sister want to print books? You can print a book by stamping these seals one by one." Chen Zhongliang had a lot of ideas.

Chen Fan nodded: "I have this plan. When Qin Shihuang unified the weights and measures, he printed a forty-character edict with wood stamp on the pottery measuring instrument. Scholars have seals, so I want to try whether the seal can be printed.

How to operate and how it works, you still need to test it more.”

Chen Fan told them this to infiltrate them, and her idea was inspired.

"If you stamp one by one, will the letters be stamped incorrectly? Is it right?" Chen Zhongzhu asked a question, and everyone agreed.

How can I cover it upright and neatly?

"Line them first and frame them in a frame." They discussed a solution.

"This is a good idea! There are molds in making tofu and pastries. We also customize a mold for the characters." Chen Fan said.

After a few days, the iron plate with frames was obtained, and the children also carved many small seals. They were all burned with fire and became clay movable types one by one.

She threw the printing work to several children to explore.

They were all very excited, putting clay movable type into the template, applying ink on it, then covering it with a layer of paper, and pressing it with a piece of paper.

When the paper is uncovered, the ink marks on it are deep, shallow, and very uneven.

The children frowned.

Children are not that easy to give up. When they have time, they think about how to print the characters more clearly. Chen Fan will support them if they have any ideas and materials they need, and will also give them some suggestions.

As time goes by, many of the forage grass in the fields are transported out, and most of the corn stalks are also transported to Qijiadu and Yema Mountain for silage, and there is no place to dig a cellar here in Wangjiadun.

The fields have been turned over, the straw is dried at the roots, and is used to cook every day, and it has become ash and is scattered into the fields.

Chen Fan asked Zhang Ci: "The wheat in my hand may be relatively high-yield. Do you want to give you some?"

Zhang Ci smiled and shook his head: "It's enough to have a piece of land that has a high yield, after all, it's just renovated. Every piece of land is high yield, so it's hard to be convincing."

"The land you bought has also been renovated."

Zhang Ci still smiled and shook his head: "They are relatively barren and they are not filled with fertile soil. They just flipped over the ground. It would be good to grow crops. It was incredible to collect a lot of food at once."

Chen Fan did not force it and planted all the nine acres of land on wheat seeds in the space. The wheat in the warehouse was transported to other places to sow.

After nearly half a month of busy work, the children have almost finished printing movable type. The medicine is made by Chen Fan, and it cannot be completely allowed to be studied by the children themselves. How much do they know?

Zhang Ci was very interested in this technology. He was very surprised to see the children quickly print out neat and clear fonts on pieces of paper.

"This is much more convenient than printing in woodblocks. If the woodblocks are engraved with a wrong word, the whole piece will be ruined. There is no need to worry about this problem now. And you can type whatever you want to print."

The children were all very excited and chattered about Zhang Ci's experience for the past half month.

Zhang Ci brought a lot of snacks this time, the girls had flowers and fabrics, and the boy had daggers. Everyone had dinner happily together.

"The Tian family gave me two shops, and I'm going to take one to open a bookstore." Chen Fan looked at the full moon in the sky and said to Zhang Ci.

It is August 14th today, and the moon is very round and bright.

"It's good to open a bookstore. There are many students in the county and many people buy books. The printing method you have figured out is also very convenient now, and you can print books and sell them by yourself." Zhang Ci said.

"If you print your own books, the project is very large and you need many skilled seal engraving workers."

"Workers can find it, and finally complete the printing process by themselves. The more books are printed, the more the advantages of this printing method can be reflected. The books can also be sold to the city of the city." Zhang Ci said.

"I have another idea, selling some guidance books. Some people are reading and suddenly ask them a sentence in a book, and they may not be able to remember it. Some people do not have a profound understanding of the content. If the book is not a complete one, it is not a complete one.

The above also has guidance, which is equivalent to the teacher in the academy guiding them. "In fact, it is just selling teaching materials, but it is very important who will write them.

Zhang Ci chuckled: "This can also be considered."

"When will your shop open?" Chen Fan asked him.

"It will take a while to open a shop in other places and extend all the way to this side. The shop has been renovated and is ready to open a pastry shop."

"In fact, you can open a store at the same time. If the business is good, continue to open. If the business is bad, close the store." Chen Fan said.

When will you wait for one by one?

Zhang Ci was silent for a while and said, "This method is very good, but the noise is too loud."

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival in the leap month of August. The two children of the Liu family returned to the city to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chen Fan and his friends did not enter the city, so they celebrated the festival at home.
