Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

What she has to do now is to screen the books.

Thinking about what to choose.

The scripts she chose are mainly aimed at three groups of people.

One type is students.

One type is ladies.

Another type is the comic book series for young masters to read.

It is easier to find comic books. I want a set of Three Character Classic story picture books, which are considered to be enlightenment and interesting books. I also want a few children's story books.

The crow drinks water, the three little pigs, the ugly duckling, the kitten fishing, the tortoise and the hare, the wolf is coming, sitting in the well and looking at the sky, the little mouse steals oil, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, Cao Chong weighs the elephant.

Choose 10 books first.

These ten books are both fun and educational. They all contain some truth.

Zhao Yuanzhen entered the space, searched for stories on the computer, and converted all the modern words in them into words and sentences from the Liang Dynasty. Then, he infiltrated the educational significance of the story at the end.

It was made to look like a four-frame black-and-white comic.

She plans to custom-make the first batch of engravings for the storybooks, specifying the painting style and font. For future storybooks, she will train seal engravers to carve the plates according to this style and font.

Carefully selected the appropriate font and simple painting style.

The paper I chose was medium-quality paper that was neither expensive nor cheap. I printed out a few samples and bound them together with needle and thread.

Finally, glue on the cover.

Pasted with paste made from white flour.

Just wait until it is dried.

To prevent theft, Zhao Yuanzhen marked each page of the book at a specific location, which ordinary people cannot see. This should also be included on the customized engravings.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out the first four-frame comic book she had printed, The Crow Drinks Water.

Look through it yourself and fill in the gaps.

After cutting it, I found nothing wrong with it. The wording and layout were all correct. I gave it to Zhang Qingyan to take a look.

Zhang Qingyan flipped through the books and soon became fascinated by them.

Although it is a short story, it is in the form of a four-frame comic book and has more than 20 pages.

Also because of the paper problem, it looks like a thin book.

Then I started working on the second four-frame book, The Three Little Pigs.

When Zhang Zijin came back, three books had already been completed.

Every time Zijin and Zhang Xinshu came home from school, they would come over to say hello to Zhao Yuanzhen first, and then go back to their rooms.

"Grandma, I'm back."

"Mom, I'm back."

"Well, okay, come and take a look at the comic book I made."

Then he handed the comic book to them.

The two of them took it and started flipping through it.

"Mom, the art and story of this book are very well written. It has a deep meaning. It will definitely be popular if it can be promoted."

"Well, I plan to open a storybook shop and sell some interesting books."

"Then there's no need to worry about promotion. It will definitely be a big hit."

"Grandma, are there any more? This is so interesting. The third little pig is so smart. I want to be the third little pig too."

"Okay, you have to be a diligent and smart pig too. There are two more books, take them and read them."

"Okay, grandma, our school is closed for the holidays. We will have a day off starting today. We will notify you of the class schedule after the New Year."

"That's great, you can have some time to play!"

"My uncle said that even though we are on vacation, we can't fall behind in our studies."

"Well, your uncle is right, but you can study in the morning and play in the afternoon. Combine work and rest!"

"Okay, grandma. I'll go back first then."

"Mom, I'll go back first."

"Yeah. Go ahead."

The school is closed for the holidays. What day is it today?

Then I looked at the calendar and found that tomorrow is Laba Festival.

Children, children, don’t be greedy, it’s the New Year after Laba.

The New Year is almost here.

Tomorrow is Laba Festival, and we must eat Laba porridge.

Zhao Yuanzhen prepared to go to the kitchen to take a look.

"Hello, madam."

"Well, have you prepared the Laba porridge for tomorrow?"

"Madam, I have prepared red beans, peanuts, red dates, glutinous rice, walnuts, lotus seeds, wolfberries, and longans. I have already picked them out and soaked them in water."

"Okay. Peel some garlic, about 100 heads. Peel them, wash them, drain them and put them away. I'll come back later."

"Yes."

There was no Laba garlic in the Daliang Dynasty, probably because vinegar was too expensive.

To pickle a jar of Laba garlic, you need at least one or two kilograms of vinegar. Most people can't bear to do that.

There is no rich family that only likes to eat garlic.

But Zhao Yuanzhen still likes to eat Laba garlic. It is sour and crunchy. It has a very special taste.

She decided to pickle some herself.

I also bought a small stone mill.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked someone to scrub it thoroughly inside and out with warm water.

Just put it in the kitchen.

Because I bought a small stone mill. It's not very big, and I can grind the beans just by pushing it.

Wash the soybeans and soak them in a basin of water.

Tomorrow morning, scoop it up with a spoon, grind it on a stone mill, filter out the coarse residue with gauze, put it in a pot and cook it, and it will be soy milk when it boils.

I can drink soy milk tomorrow.

Then he sighed and thought, it’s really good to have money, all you have to do is give an order.

It seems that I have to work hard to make money, because there are so many things to buy.

After dinner, I started to report the expenses for this month.

It was originally scheduled for the 1st, but because it was the st, they were taking Kong Mimi's class, so it was postponed.

"Well, Xiaohui, let's start."

"Okay, mother."

“本月支出：下人月钱29X100=2900文。菜金42两。因为有嬷嬷在家教习，菜金多了些。细粮娘放的还有，粗粮买了2000斤。合计18两银子。每人零花钱1两银子，一共8两。共计：70.9两

This month's income: 2000 taels from crossing the river, 84 taels from selling charcoal, the four charcoal kilns at home are firing at the same time, 500 jin per kiln, one kiln every four days. The selling price is 4 wen per jin, and a total of jin was fired last month. Xin Shu's monthly salary for teaching is 6 taels of silver. A total of 2 taels.

Last month's surplus totaled 670.7 taels, minus this month's expenditure of 70.9 taels, leaving 2685.8 taels of silver. This is all the accounts in the public account now."

"Well, everyone, take a look at the account book."

Zhao Yuanzhen drank tea and asked them to check the account book.

"Mom, I've seen it all. There's nothing wrong with what my sister-in-law did."

"Yes, I've read it too and I don't find any problems."

"Okay, the New Year is coming soon, Xiaohui and Zhijuan, what are your plans?"

"Mom, my eldest sister-in-law and I have discussed this, because this is our first year of settling down here, and we want to have some fun.

I thought of making a set of outer clothes and a pair of new shoes for each servant.

We each had two sets of inner clothes, two sets of outer clothes, and two pairs of shoes. We also had to buy a New Year pig and some native chickens.

I have a stone mill at home, so I need to make more tofu. I also need to prepare some New Year’s goods, New Year flowers, and new utensils.”

"Well, that's fine. Since you two have thought of it, just do as you two want."

"Second sister-in-law, I took the patterns you gave me last time and designed a few clothes. I can design the clothes for the New Year."

"Okay, we all trust your craftsmanship, so you can design it."

"Also, I plan to open a storybook shop. I'll go check out the shop tomorrow. I'll decide whether to buy or rent it then. The money will be paid by the government.

Of course, the profits of the shop will also belong to the public. If any of you want to manage the shop, I will hire or buy a shopkeeper who knows how to manage it. You can manage it in the early stage. Once it is on the right track, you don’t have to guard the shop all the time.

I will pass on the movable type printing technology to you. For the first few editions, I will customize the style and fonts, and you just need to follow this in the future.

In the long run, we still need to train comic engravers ourselves. After all, the loss of engraving plates is not small.”

After a certain number of engravings, the engraved plate will be worn flat and the template will have to be re-engraved.

"I hope to train carving masters from among my own family members, and the technical initiative must be firmly in my own hands."

"Got it, Mom."

"Well, now look around, who wants to manage the storybook shop?"

Several people looked at each other. They all wanted to go, but none of them wanted to go.

Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan were definitely excluded as they were both pregnant recently and it was not suitable for them to go back and forth every day.

Those are the three brothers.

"Mom, big brother, second brother, if you don't mind, I want to give it a try."

"You will enter the academy after the new year."

"I know, mother, I can first choose a good shopkeeper to take with me, and we can manage it together.

When the shop is on track, I will go to school. After school every day, I can go to the shop to check the accounts. "

"Will it affect your studies?"

"No, I'm confident I can handle both."

"What about you two? Do you have any objections?"

"I have no problem with that. I want to make charcoal at home."

"That's fine with me. I prefer working at home."

"Okay, then it's decided. We'll go choose a shop tomorrow, and then go to the government office to register. We also have to renovate the shop and open it as soon as possible to reap the benefits of everyone taking a day off before the New Year."

"Okay, mother."

After the meeting, Qian Xiaohui and others went to hold a meeting for the servants.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't go.

She asked Zhang Qingyan to bring the garlic, and then she took two jars, bought some vinegar, cleaned the jars, wiped them dry, put the garlic in, and poured in the vinegar until it covered the garlic. It would be ready to eat the next day or the day after tomorrow.

Zhang Qingyan took the Laba garlic away and continued to choose the storybook.

The notebooks for the students, ladies and young ladies have not yet been selected.

She plans to select 10 books as well to test the market.

Don’t invest too much at one time. It’s not good for marketing.

"Dream of the Red Chamber" is a book that can be read by students and ladies.

Students watch the male channel, which is called Hongxiu. Ladies and young ladies watch the female channel, which is called Tianxiang.

This way there will be a good classification in the future.

Red Sleeves Category: "Notes from the Yuewei Cottage", "Stories to Enlighten the World", "Stories to Warn the World", "Stories to Awaken the World", "Strange Stories from the First Collection of Strange Stories", "Strange Stories from the Second Collection of Strange Stories", "The Travels of Lao Can", "Flowers in the Sea of ​​Sin", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and "Records of the Warring States".

Fragrance-adding category: "The Butterfly Lovers", "Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan", "The Story of Cui Yingying", "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", "Wulin Waishi", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", "The Legend of White Snake", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl".

For now, I will choose some novels with similar dynasty backgrounds.

After opening the market.

Then launch various domineering boss articles.

Let's start with some ancient Chinese domineering stories. Such as the little wife of the prince, the little apprentice sister of the martial arts leader, the beloved daughter of the richest man, etc.

There are too many things that need to be revised in the modern domineering president's story. It cannot be completed in a short time.

She plans to compile a comparison table of ancient and modern words.

Changing the domineering president style to the ancient domineering president style. This is really a huge project!

Mainly the scenes, costumes, and daily life need to be changed.

We also need to train a few book editors.
