Chapter 10 Career Troubles
From then on, Lin Zhao had a job in the city!
Although the income from this job is extremely meager, it is still a income after all. If Lin Zhao moved to his boss's backyard to live, he would save rent and save money in a year, he would still have a lot of money left.
Of course, the rent has been given for a month, so Lin Zhao naturally couldn't move out. Besides, he also needed an environment without anyone to disturb him and found a way to print movable type.
The next day, Lin Zhao went to work at Sanyuan Bookstore. Xie Sanyuan first took him to familiarize himself with the pricing of various books on the bookshelf. Lin Zhao was already smart, and there were not many types of these books. He had only used them for one morning and remembered the prices of books in Sanyuan Bookstore.
At noon, a girl in a plain skirt walked into the book shop with a brisk step with a rice basket in her hand.
Her voice was crisp.
"Dad, it's time to eat."
At this moment, Xie Sanyuan was teaching Lin Zhao how to bargain with the customers in the bookstore. After hearing his daughter's voice, his face changed slightly. He immediately said to Lin Zhao: "You go to the inner room to avoid it first, I'll ask you to come out and you will come out."
Although Lin Zhao was a little confused, he stood up from the chair obediently and walked towards the back hall.
After Lin Zhao left, Xie Sanyuan wiped his hands, took a deep breath, and turned to greet his daughter who was sending her meal.
Take the rice basket from his daughter, and Boss Xie said with a smile: "What delicious food did the eldest daughter cook for her father today?"
This girl is Xie Sanyuan's eldest daughter, named Xie Danran. Because Xie Sanyuan had to look at the shop in the shop, and sometimes she had to work in the printing workshop, and basically had no time to go home for lunch. Since three years ago, Xie Danran started to deliver meals to his father in the shop every day.
After hearing my father's question, Xie Danran did not answer positively, but instead stretched his head and looked behind my father, then said with a smile: "My father went home yesterday and said that he had hired an apprentice in the shop and asked me to send two meals today. Why is there no one in the shop?"
Xie Sanyuan coughed and waved his hand, "That kid has a stomachache. He went out to use the toilet and was not in the shop. Well, the food is delivered. You can go back."
Xie Danran was originally out of curiosity. After hearing his father say this, he lost interest after taking a few more glances and waved to his father: "Then my daughter is back. Dad, you go home early today. I'm naughty in the school and was driven back by my husband. I'm punished to kneel at home."
Xie Danran smiled and said, "Dad, if you don't go back, I'm afraid your mother will keep him kneeling."
Xie Sanyuan sighed and shook his head and said, "It seems that my Xie family does not have the talent to study. Forget it, you go back first. I will go home early in the afternoon."
Xie Danran nodded with a smile: "Okay, dad, go back as soon as possible to save me."
After saying this, she turned around and left. She had just taken two steps and suddenly turned back to her father and asked curiously: "Dad, why don't you let me see that apprentice?"
"Where is there that you won't see?"
Xie Sanyuan pretended to be angry and said, "I said that boy has gone out. Can you still deceive you for your father?"
Xie Danran smiled slightly and turned around and left.
Xie Sanyuan looked at his daughter's back as he left, and sighed helplessly: "It would be great if your brother could be as smart as you. It would be better if a daughter was born too smart, it wouldn't be a good thing."
As he said that, he walked back to the counter with the rice basket, muttering to himself as he walked.
"That kid has a greasy and pink face, so handsome, how can you see it? If you like this poor boy, will my bookstore change hands then?"
Xie Sanyuan really loves his eldest daughter. He has said more than once in the past few years that in the future, his daughter will use this bookstore as a dowry.
After talking to himself, he put the rice basket on the table and said, "Boy, I'm out for dinner."
"Try my wife's skills...well, my wife's skills are no less than those in the city's big restaurants."
Lin Zhao then walked out of the inner room, thanked Xie Sanyuan, and sat down to have dinner together.
I have to say that the boss of this family is very kind. He didn't even say anything about Lin Zhao's food, but also asked Lin Zhao to eat it with him. This shows that his character is definitely not bad.
Lin Zhao was having a meal while chatting with Xie Sanyuan.
"My boss, I'm familiar with the prices of books in the shop. When will I take me to the printing workshop to take a look?"
Xie Sanyuan put down the bowls and chopsticks, glanced at Lin Zhao, and said suspiciously: "How do you know that there is a workshop at my home?"
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "I read it in the shop in the morning and saw that many books were newly printed, so I guess the owner also has a printing workshop."
The difficulty of printing woodblock printing is that a set of woodblocks can only be printed with one set of books, and it is troublesome to make woodblocks. Therefore, only books that are very popular or very popular can have woodblocks. For example, there are only a dozen sets of woodblocks in Xie Sanyuan's workshop, some of which were bought, and some were made by him over the years.
These carved plates are extremely precious, and people from other printing workshops will even come to steal them!
Lin Zhao was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and looked innocent. Xie Sanyuan didn't think much about it. After lowering his head and slapping a few bites of food, he spoke, "You can help in the shop first. There is no shortage of people in the workshop for the time being. Let you go after you have shortage of people."
Lin Zhao frowned secretly in his heart, but there was still a smile on his face.
"Everyone listens to the boss."
After the two of them finished their meal, Lin Zhao took the initiative to clean the dishes and put them back into the rice basket. In the afternoon, Lin Zhao had already recorded all the bookshelf in the bookstore. Boss Xie was too lazy to stare at him anymore, so he moved a bench halfway at the door of the bookstore, closing his eyes to rest.
In this way, Lin Zhao went to Sanyuan Bookstore to work on time every day. After a few days, Xie Sanyuan already trusted him very much. Sometimes he even left Lin Zhao alone in the bookstore to watch the shop, and he could take the time to go out for a few rounds or lie on a chair to sleep.
After a few days, although Lin Zhao was unable to enter the printing workshop, he was slowly learning the fonts used for printing and the negative texts of this font.
The only thing that is a little distressed is that because he is beautiful, some women who come to the book shop to buy books will often peek at Lin Zhao, who is more extroverted, and will take the initiative to joke with Lin Zhao.
The daughter of the daughter is fine, but she is usually a little reserved, but some maids who come to buy books on behalf of her ladies are very bold. One of them brought Lin Zhao a box of snacks the next day after seeing Lin Zhao for the first time, and then ran away with his face covering.
Fortunately, Lin Zhao is not just an ordinary teenager. He faces these professional troubles and is easy to deal with and will not be in a hurry.
The customer flow of Sanyuan Bookstore has increased significantly.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, Lin Zhao closed the shop as usual and walked towards his nest. The house he rented was not close to Sanyuan Bookstore. By the time he returned home, it was almost dark.
As soon as he opened the door, Lin Zhao felt something was wrong.
There seemed to be a scent of blood in a vague way?
