Uncle Yao's heart was tight: "Mom, you're right, we should be careful about this."
"Well, then okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Ah, leave it to...me?!" Mr. Yao widened his eyes.
Wait, didn’t he come to ask his mother for advice? Why did it become his business again?
Gu Qingling looked calm and said, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? Are you my son or the eldest son of the Yao family? If you can't even solve this problem, what should I do?"
Uncle Yao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
When he left Gu Qingling, he was still a little dazed, always feeling that he had missed something, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
In the room, Gu Qingling showed some smiles on her face, so she wouldn't tell Mr. Yao that she had arranged this matter long ago.
Since she asked Mr. Yao to take on the bad reputation of digging his own ancestral grave, she always had to find a way to compensate him? There is an old saying that whenever he fell, he had to get up from where he fell. Since his reputation broke in the circle of scholars, if he didn't get up from here, where would he get up from?
Of course, it is not so easy for Mr. Yao to eat such a big cake in one bite. How can he not give him some tests and let him learn to become a qualified parent?
Gu Qingling didn't want to do everything herself and be an old mother for a big family.
Gu Qingling was not very worried about the bookstore. Although movable type printing is a bit scary, who asked her to get movable type printing out to subvert the foundation of scholars all over the world?
She just wanted to print a few "children's reading" books for her children and grandchildren, and then accidentally printed more...

On the other hand, the bookstore was still working closely. Several carving masters took the ink books and studied the children's books that were newly sent to the children's books, turned them into graphic rubbings, and used them together with the rubbings of movable type printing. It took several days to prepare the children's books with pictures and texts and start printing.
A particularly large study room was built in the bookstore, or the village, where all printed books will be sent here for a special person to check. If there is no problem, it will be confirmed to add printing later.
After the book is printed, it will also be randomly checked. After there is no problem, it will be transferred to the library in the village for preservation, waiting for the light of day to be seen again one day.
After Uncle Yao left, Mr. Yao was so idle that he was taken to this study by Mo Shu.
I didn’t know before I came, but after I came, Mr. Yao discovered that so many books had been printed in the bookstore?!
There were at least hundreds of books in the past.
"Didn't it mean that movable type printing is very fast? Why are there only a few books here? I thought there would be many..." At this time, Mr. Yao Er didn't know about the library. He looked at the books on the bookshelf and picked up a book casually.
It was the reading he was familiar with when he was a child, such as "Thousand Character Text" and "Song Tou Song", but it was a bit different from the version he saw when he was a child.
The version he saw when he was a child was pure text, and this version was accompanied by pictures, just like the little man's book he saw in his daughter Yao Anxin, very interesting.
The text is black, but the villain in the book is blue.
Mo Shu stood beside him and said respectfully: "When I go to Erye, here is just a sample book, and the other books are placed in the library."
"Oh, I'll just say, why are there so few books here..." Yao Erye looked through several books and found that many of them were worthy of pictures. Although they were simple, they were much more interesting than those with pure text books. "Why are there so many pictures? Didn't it mean that movable type printing is troublesome to match pictures? It seems that it still takes a rubbing method to copy this picture, right? One picture requires a rubbing board. If you have printed so many books with pictures, how many rubbing boards do you have to carve?"
Suddenly, Master Yao Er didn't think that the movable type printing technique was amazing. After all, the painting was no more than anything else. Every book was different. You can't print one of the same books in every book, right?
"The master said that this is for children to see, and only with some pictures will make them like it." What Mo Shu didn't say is that these pictures look different, but in fact the elements on the pictures are all templates.
For example, the standing villain has several series, and uses movable type printing method. The size of the picture is determined in advance, the position of the villain and the position of other objects are determined, just like a puzzle, just put these things on.
So the pictures of each book look different, but if you look closely, you will find that the villains in a book almost look the same, and many of them are templates, but the location, color and other details have changed, and no one has paid attention to it for the time being.
They also have Tuoban, which is used to print unified formats such as letter paper and homework books. They use another set of flexible and changeable pictures like this.
"It's better to have some pictures, but I remember that the one I saw in Sister Ling'er's place seemed to be colorful, right?" Mr. Yao turned his head and was a little confused, "Is that one drawn separately?"
It's not right. If it is drawn separately, the paintings on it will be the same, and the colors are different.
"It was not drawn separately, it should be the master who made people color it." Those books and ink were all handy, so it was very clear that when he sent it over, the old lady even asked him to match some paint.
Because the paper in their bookstore is specially made and cannot be soaked in ink, the old lady gave some secret recipes for paste of various colors, packed it in a small lattice box, and paired with a special brush to color it.
"Is there such a thing actually there?!" Mr. Yao was surprised and quickly asked Mo Shu to bring it over. He also wanted to try it.
As an adult, Yao Erye naturally has a certain painter, but he never thought that there are paintings in this world that others have painted for you and asked you to be responsible for coloring.
The kind of pictures that Yao Anling filled in is just simple pictures, without any complicated composition, but it is novel.
Even Master Yao has never played with him even though he has grown up so old.
After a while, Moshu sent someone to send a few sets of coloring books and matching colors, and placed the manual flat on the desk to facilitate reading by Master Yao Ershi.
Mr. Yao glanced at it and couldn't wait to get a coloring book and began to paint the colors. Because it was the version used by children, the graphics on it were very simple. At the beginning, they were some square, round and other graphics. The colors were marked in the middle of the graphics to tell you what color should be used for each type of graphics.
Before coloring, Mr. Yao Er didn't see what the graphics on it were. After he finished painting it, he discovered that it was actually a strange house?!
A round roof like eggs, a long house like pillars, with round windows and arched doors, and a few triangular trees next to it.
"Hahahahaha... Who painted this painting? It's too ugly, right? It's quite interesting to have this color. It's much more convenient than I usually polish the color myself. If the requirements are not high, you can use this painting." Mr. Yao is not a master of calligraphy and painting. He only wants to have fun painting. If there is a simple method, he will of course be happy.
