A specially customized engraving knife, when carving this object, it feels like carving a seal.
The tinsmith and the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, stared blankly at Cheng Sanlang scraping it with a carving knife. After a long time, they nodded with satisfaction.
"Just get me 10,000 or 20,000 of these lead and tin ingots first, the sooner the better. By the way, I will send you as many as you can make the day after tomorrow.
Remember, the sizes must be the same, otherwise I won’t pay.”
Hearing this, the tinsmith who had been working hard all day for these lead and tin ingots was overjoyed.
"Thank you very much, Master Cheng. Please rest assured, I will definitely follow your instructions and I will definitely not go on a business trip."
The rich uncle, the housekeeper, laughed and said to the old tinsmith.
"Whether you will be traveling or not is related to the reputation of your own workshop.
If you want to cooperate with my third son, then cheer up and deliver the prepared lead and tin ingots as soon as possible, do you understand?"
When Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, sent the tinsmith out of the house, Cheng Chubi took out his own sheet of things he needed to do about movable type printing.
Review them one by one, and then add new notes at the end to prove which things have been completed, which ones are being pushed forward, and which ones there is no news about yet.
As for the ink matter, Cheng Chubi really couldn't trust others to do it, so he decided to experiment on his own.
Because he remembered that he had seen that kind of ink when he was a child and helped the teacher print exam papers with a manual printing machine in school.
He remembered that if the ink was applied too much, not only would the writing appear on the exam paper, but there would also be a grease stain around the writing.
Only then did we realize that the reason why ink is called ink is because it contains kerosene and a certain proportion of vegetable or animal oil.
Cheng Chubi took out the kerosene he asked his elder brother to get, which was actually an asphalt mixture seeping onto the ground. It could be regarded as a reserve material in the arsenal of the Tang Dynasty.
Asphalt is originally in a colloidal form, and is then mixed with a certain proportion of grease and, of course, ink.
After the mixture was mixed, Cheng Chubi took the lead and tin ingots that he had left behind and carved them into a mess to test.
After searching for a suitable ratio over and over again, we worked behind closed doors for three full days. During this period, we only made one trip to Prince Wei's Mansion.
After appreciating the pained expression of the Michelin-starred King Wei, he took out the authority of the attending doctor and gave a severe lesson to His Highness King Wei, who had secretly eaten greasy food during his recuperation period.
Then I continued to nest in the small yard and continued to experiment repeatedly, and finally got an ink ratio that could be stuck on the lead-tin movable type, and then can be spread on the paper relatively clearly.
Although the handwriting printed by Cheng Chubi obviously had too much ink, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but burst out excitedly.
At least it proved that my memory was correct and my research direction was correct.
#####
Cheng Chubi walked out of the room with satisfaction and saw Deng Chengxin and Zhang Jin.
He was actually still working tirelessly to remove the bile and cecum of the newly purchased chickens and rabbits.
When he got there, he looked around for a few times and said a few words of encouragement, then he wandered towards the yard where he rested.
Three consecutive days of research made him feel like his whole body was about to be hollowed out.
Although the ink has only achieved preliminary success, it can be used for testing at least, and a batch of lead type has also been received.
Cheng Chubi had already asked Uncle Fu, the butler, to find an experienced seal carver to carve the seal. In addition, the paper was being developed according to the process and formula given by him.
The carpenters are also working hard to make the roller printing machinery. Everything is so real, but why are there bubbles in front of me?
Cheng Chubi looked bewildered as he watched a bubble fly up from outside the wall, soar into the air and slowly land again, decomposing sunlight on its surface to form a beautiful rainbow...
Then, a burst of cheerful laughter was heard.
"My bubbles flew the highest and flew over the wall." This was Cheng Laowu's proud voice.
"Mine is the biggest, the bubbles I blow are the biggest..." This was the voice of Cheng Laoliu, that stinky kid.
As the elder brother, Cheng Laosi was naturally unwilling to lag behind others. He stretched out the straw pipe and poked the piece of soap soaked in the copper basin, saying angrily.
"You two wait, look at my super invincible third brother!"
When Cheng Laosi saw the dark-faced third brother sticking his head out from the yard, his face instantly turned pale.
"What the hell is the super third brother?" Cheng Laowu, who had his back to the courtyard door, asked in confusion.
"Third brother is here, run quickly..." Cheng Laoliu was indeed a very loyal little brother, and he ran out like a rabbit on its string.
Then Cheng Laosi twisted his butt and ran away, leaving Lao Wu unceremoniously on the spot.
"Third brother, it wasn't me who did it. It was the fourth brother who stole the soap from your house. It has nothing to do with me."
Cheng Chubi looked at the water in the copper basin with a dark look on his face. There was a piece of soap soaked in the water that had shrunk in size by at least half.
He remembered that he had just opened this soap and used it yesterday, and it was his favorite mint-scented soap.
"You three little bastards!" Cheng Chubi immediately became furious and grabbed Cheng Laowu's ears with great skill.
"Cheng Laosi, Cheng Laoliu, if you don't come back, believe it or not, I will sue my mother!"
Accompanied by Cheng Lao San's roar, which was like the roar of thunder, Cheng Lao Si and Cheng Lao Liu could only rush back in disgrace.
With an honest look of bowing their heads and confessing their sins, these three little bastards were not afraid of anything but the eyes of their mother.
Well, even in front of dad, these three boys were still mischievous even if they were beaten.
But when facing my mother, she was as docile as three kittens.

A quarter of an hour later, three naughty children with red ears were held on a branch, and the ferocious-looking Cheng Laosan supervised them blowing bubbles.
"If you three don't finish blowing this basin of water today, see if I can beat you up."
"Third brother, my mouth is sore. Can you rest for a while before blowing..." Cheng Laoliu looked at Cheng Chubi pitifully.
Although blowing bubbles is fun, that's just for fun, but now being escorted by the bad-tempered black-faced third brother to blow bubbles, it's not fun anymore.
"Yes, third brother, we know we were wrong, so we will stop blowing bubbles next time, okay?"
At this moment, Cheng Chubi heard familiar footsteps coming towards him. When he looked up, he saw his mother walking towards him in an angry and funny manner.
I could only throw away the branch in my hand angrily and salute my mother respectfully. "I have met my mother."
"Mother, third brother, beat me up." The expected voice of grievance came as expected.
