Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

"Master, please go to the gate to welcome the emperor! Someone is coming from the palace!"

Hearing Xiaoman's words, Liu Yunqing was surprised and showed joy on his face.

She knew that it must be Duke Deng who had helped the government with movable type printing, and now the result was achieved!

She quickly patted her dress and hurriedly stroked the two simple hairpins on her head. She couldn't help but regret that she was so lazy on weekdays and was so busy with business that she had no time to dress up. She wondered if it would be rude to go out and meet people in this outfit?

When Xiaoman saw her boss like this, she became anxious and couldn't help laughing.

"Master, please don't wait any longer. You are in good health! It may not be a good idea to wait any longer. You should meet the person as soon as possible!"

Liu Yunqing responded and quickly walked to the front. After passing through the door, Liu Yunqing had a decent smile on his face.

His eyes darted around the door a few times, ignoring the few well-dressed slaves in front of him, and turned to look at an elegant man in his fifties at the back, and greeted him.

"I heard from the manager that someone from the palace has come. I don't know which lord has come to visit us. It is a great honor for our bookshop. I am late. Please don't blame me!"

The middle-aged man looked over. He had an easy-going appearance. Seeing that Liu Yunqing was the legendary owner of Qingxi Bookstore, he could not help but look at him with a little surprise and a smile on his face.

"We are not the ones who came uninvited. We are not nobles, but just errand boys for the emperor. And the emperor was overjoyed to see the movable type presented by Duke Deng."

"Send me here to see which lady is so capable, and to ask if you have any other difficulties besides the money. It's not easy for you to run a small business like this. The government owns the whole country, so it's impossible for them to accept your things for free, especially since it's so rare."

After saying that, the servant beside him brought up a square box. When Liu Yunqing opened it, he was really dizzy. Inside was all neatly stacked gold.

The government is very generous. This box must be worth fifty gold coins, or five hundred taels in total, which is enough for the pottery workshop to make two or three more sets of movable type.

Liu Yunqing was so happy that she was thinking hard. She had already figured out how to spend the fifty gold. However, the person in front of her was a close confidant of the government, so she couldn't show her materialistic side and kept refusing.

"Ah! Ah! How can this be done? I am just an ordinary woman, and I don't understand any great principles. Now I am satisfied with having a job to make a living. If it weren't for the wise ruler like you, I would never have dared to dream of such a good life."

"I got the movable type because I was inspired by someone. I don't have many opportunities to use it in the workshop."

"As you can see, my workshop is not small. It has been run for several years with the help of teachers and students from the Imperial College. Therefore, I have master craftsmen ready-made. I have ready-made engraving blocks for whatever I want to print."

"I just thought that movable type was hard to come by. When I was holding the competition, I heard from you all that the government attached great importance to literature and history books. I wanted to present this movable type to the government. If the government can use it, it will be a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes. How dare I accept the government's gold?"

The middle-aged man stroked his beard and smiled. He was a very amiable person to begin with. After hearing Liu Yunqing praising the official in this way, he looked even more amiable. He waved his hand and ordered the servant beside him to put the gold down so that Liu Yunqing would not refuse again.

"Madam Liu, please accept it. You have many clever ideas. I have heard about your deeds before. With more money on hand, you can also realize more good ideas. I missed the previous competition, so I must not miss it next time."

Having said this, Liu Yunqing pretended to be polite and accepted the money. It would be inappropriate to have people standing in front of the door to talk, so Liu Yunqing hurriedly invited everyone to have tea in the book bar at the back.

However, when she was halfway there she remembered that there was a commotion behind her, with the ground covered with broken branches, leaves and petals. Her heart skipped a beat, fearing that this gentleman would feel that she was being disrespectful. However, it was not right to lead her people back at this moment, so she had to bite the bullet and go ahead.

I thought that we couldn’t do it in the yard, but the lounge was still nice.

Fortunately, Zhao Chengyan often came to see her and decorated the lounge quite elegantly, so it was not impolite to entertain guests.

She was pondering the words in her mind, and just as she was about to step through the door of the bookstore, she saw Zhao Zheng standing on the side, nodding at her with a slight smile.

The young lady didn't say anything, but Liu Yunqing felt at ease all of a sudden.

When I went in again, I saw that the mess was indeed gone. The floor was clean and there was still a slight wet mark on the table. Fortunately, the weather was hot, so the mark quickly disappeared without a trace. Only the faint fragrance of flowers remained in the air, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Please take a seat, my lords. I'll ask someone to bring us some tea. Actually, I should have ordered tea for you personally, but I'm really clumsy and my skills are not up to par, so I specially invited the tea master from Chunhe Tea House to come and take charge every day, so that everyone won't laugh at me."

The middle-aged man knew about the competition organized by Liu Yunqing, but he knew nothing about Chunhe Teahouse. Following Liu Yunqing's introduction, he took a closer look at the Tea Doctor, but did not seem very surprised.

"Why bother with this? We are already disturbing your business by coming here today. Just treat us to some food and drinks. Besides, it takes time and concentration to make tea. Your business is booming, so it's not a big deal if you can't make tea. How can you let others laugh at you?"

Liu Yunqing smiled and thought that this person was good at comforting people, but he couldn't really serve drinks.

Not afraid of embarrassment anymore, Liu Yunqing asked the tea master for guidance and ordered tea herself.

Let’s not talk about the taste for now, what matters is the attitude.

The middle-aged man was an expert at making tea. After hearing the tea master's advice, he asked everyone to leave in a very stylish manner and went to teach Liu Yunqing himself.

Somehow, Liu Yunqing became nervous after hearing this person's instructions. His palms were covered with sweat. He finally got a cup of tea and waited anxiously for comments.

The middle-aged man first looked, then smelled, then tasted, and then looked up at Liu Yunqing with a smile.

"This young man is teachable. Madam Liu is really amazing. She is both clever and deft. She was able to do this well in her first tea ordering. She is already quite talented."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunqing heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately took advantage of the situation and said something funny.

"I am a stupid apprentice, and I need a good master to guide me. Without you, I will never be able to make such good tea again. This is the first time and it's the best!"

This remark caused everyone to burst into laughter, and even the slaves behind him could not help laughing, and kept praising Madam Liu as a wonderful person.

After drinking tea and eating snacks, the adult was still slow and asked about Liu Yunqing's business difficulties and needs.

Liu Yunqing did not directly say that he wanted to make movable type with copper and iron. He said frankly that he had no difficulty, but the set of movable type presented to the government still needed to be improved.
