Chapter 8 It's You
The morning in Chunri was quite comfortable, the donkey cart was swaying, Yao Yi sat in a daze, and there were a few villagers sitting on the donkey cart.

"I'll leave the shopping to you later, and I still have some things to deal with." Yao Yi yawned, and slept through the night last night, but couldn't sleep again at night. The people in the village woke up, it was the family members of the women who were looking for yesterday, saying that they wanted him to take them to Youyang County to buy the required ingredients, which made him really depressed now.

"That can't be done, Brother Yi, it's hard to tell how much it costs without you here, we don't want to learn from that old thing, bah, it's bad luck to talk about that old thing." The bearded man driving the car scolded Speaking of Patriarch Zhang, this voice should be the one with the yin and yang in the crowd yesterday.The others in the car didn't say much, but they clearly agreed with their expressions.

Yao Yi was amused when he saw it, the old man was also the patriarch, although he was unpopular, but it was rare to see him in front of everyone.

"May I ask how to address it?" Yao Yi asked the bearded man.In the past two days, he has figured it out. Although the people in the village call each other affectionately, they are still a little distant. Presumably because they don't communicate much, it's normal that they can't remember their names, so Yao Yi began to boldly ask them their names.

"Brother Yi and I don't see each other very often. My name is Zhang Buhung, and I'm helping people deliver some goods in Youyang County." Zhang Buhung turned around and smiled, good guy, with a leopard head, eyes and big beard, his smile is so ferocious, Playing Zhang Fei doesn't even need makeup. No one would believe him when he stopped at the intersection and said that he wasn't a bandit.

"Stop laughing, and scare Yi Geer again." The others in the car couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly asked him to turn around.

"No, Uncle Bu Hungry looks really mighty, it reminds me of Huanhou Zhang Fei in the script." Yao Yi waved his hand.

"Ahem, he's actually two years older than you if he's not hungry." The person next to him coughed twice and said.

For a moment, everyone was speechless, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.

"Ahem, parents who suffer from body, hair and skin, Brother Buhung who doesn't even want to shave off his beard is obviously a filial person." Yao Yi boasted boldly.

"That's right, Bu Hung is extremely filial to his mother." The people next to him also boasted.

"Should be, should be." It's a bit embarrassing to be exaggerated like this.

"The conduct of a filial person is absolutely not bad. I will entrust Brother Bu Hung to be responsible for today's purchase." Yao Yi said, since you have come to Youyang, don't waste your time on the purchase. You are still angry. luck is more important.

"No, no, I can't do this." Zhang Buxie blushed when he heard Yao Yi's words, but he still shook his head and refused.

"I do have something to do, so please help me, brother Buhung."

"Since Brother Yi has said so, you can do the same if you are not hungry." The person next to him also persuaded.

"Okay, Brother Yi, don't worry, I'll definitely get things done." Zhang Buhung's face was flushed and he was in high spirits. It was obvious that being trusted was something that made him very happy. After all, people who looked like this were afraid that he would respect him of.

Yao Yi is not afraid that they will cheat him, after all, how much he can cheat, so let's try these people by the way, if they are trustworthy, he will also have someone to do things in the future.

Yao Yi separated from them at the city gate of Youyang County, and before he left, he brought forty pennies of silver and handed them over to them. Speaking of which, it was thanks to Mr. Hu that all he gave him was silver. If it was copper coins, he would still have taken them back then. don't go.

Yao Yi walked slowly to the entrance of the Sheng Mansion, and that lucky little girl went in that day.Knowing where the little girl lives is useless. After all, he has no good excuse to come and visit. Could it be that he told people that he wanted to see the little girl in your family?It would be strange not to be beaten out by others.

"Forget it, let's collect some information first." Yao Yi sighed secretly, planning to find out about the Sheng family first.

"Yuan Qian, you came to see me?" Yao Yi knew without turning his head that he had run into Hu Su again, no wonder, he was here.

"Yuhua, what a coincidence." Yao Yi turned his head and greeted with a smile.

"Didn't Yuan Qian come to look for me?" Hu Su frowned, scanning back and forth between Yao Yi and the gate of Sheng Mansion suspiciously.

"Ah, I mean I ran into you before I went in, what a coincidence." Yao Yi quickly diverted Hu Su's attention, after all, who knows what this guy will come up with.

"Just right, there is good news that Master Li has made it." Master Li is the young craftsman.

"Oh, let's go and have a look together." Yao Yi became interested, after all, he owns shares.

The two hurried to Hu's bookstore, at this time the craftsmen in the bookstore stopped their work and gathered together, talking with each other, and they stopped when they saw their young master coming.

"How is it?" Hu Su hurriedly asked Master Li.

"It can be used, but the effect is not as good as expected." Master Li said.

"What's the problem?" Yao Yi also joined in.

Master Li picked up the book that had just been printed, and Hu Su took it over and looked at it carefully. There were indeed some problems.

"This movable type printing is very good, but the biggest problem is that the typesetting of this book is not good, crooked, and the mold printing is easy to be damaged after a long time." Master Li said.

"The typesetting problem should be that there is a slight difference in the size of the wooden blocks used to engrave the characters." Yao Yi said.Master Li nodded, indicating that this is indeed the problem.

"It means it can't be used?" Hu Su said disappointedly.

"No, it's still profitable. If it's cheaper, someone will buy it, but it should only be [-]% more profit." Master Li shook his head and added.

"Hey, I was shocked." Hu Su breathed a sigh of relief.

"This movable type printing can actually be improved, just see if you can find suitable materials."

After listening to Master Li's words, Yao Yi had nothing on the surface, but based on his understanding, other materials must have other shortcomings, because most of the movable type was printed in the Ming Dynasty with wooden characters.

"I have an idea. I think that whether it's a move, or a wedding or funeral, people usually have to choose a good date. Why don't we find a few hexagram masters and let them know what to do and what to avoid every day. There are also 24 solar terms written on it, so that one book a year does not need to be printed well, it is good for people to see clearly, and if it is sold at a lower price, more people will come to buy it." Yao Yi came up with an idea idea.This inspiration comes from the calendar at home when I was a child.

In fact, because of the literacy rate, the audience for books is very small.But the calendar is different. It not only has 24 solar terms, but also saves the money of ordinary people for fortune-telling. Anyone who knows some characters will buy a copy at home.This business is placed in the Song Dynasty, which protects intellectual property rights and has restrictions on printing books, otherwise there will be pirated copies within a few days.

"Yeah, anyway, it's just a few words." Hu Su suddenly realized, Yuan Qian, it's you.
