Since that day, Zhou no longer cares about the workshop. She decided to do a good job in the pharmacy. Occasionally Hui Niang went to the printing workshop, and Zhou's two pharmacy shops had to take care of both.

At the same time, Zhou and Hui Niang are very busy.

Hui Niang followed Chen Xi's advice and bought the store of the new drug store and the site of the printing workshop. The house deeds and land deeds on both sides were 274 taels of silver, plus the handling fees for the transfer of houses and government agencies, 300 taels were gone.

Because Zhou paid for the money when buying the property, Hui Niang bought the place and discussed with Zhou that night, she wanted to transfer the yard where the Shen family now lives to Zhou.

Zhou was shocked when she heard this. She never thought that she could settle down in the city.

Hui Niang solemnly took out the house deed and land deeds in the yard and placed them in front of Zhou.

Zhou shook his head repeatedly: "Sister, you can't do this. How can you get dozens of taels of taels in your yard if you sell it? How can I afford it if I give it to me for free?"

Hui Niang smiled and said, "Sister is wrong. My sister paid for her to buy the store and venue. Now my sister only returns a yard. In fact, this transaction makes money from my sister."

"But I dare not make any decisions about this. Why don't I wait for my unconscience to come back tonight and discuss it with him?"

Hui Niang pondered for a moment and asked, "It's not impossible for my sister to discuss with her brother-in-law. She was afraid that her brother-in-law would know that the yard had returned to her, so she thought it had become a Shen family property, and then told her family. What if the old man didn't let her sister's family continue to live here?"

Zhou Shiyi was stunned: "No, can't you?"

Chen Xi praised Hui Niang in his heart and immediately took the conversation: "Mom, grandmother handed over the tea shop to the second uncle for management. It seems that she didn't get your consent? Your things are the things in the family, and grandmother is the head of the Yi family. Now she still lives in the lobby uncle's house. What will she do when she knows the ownership of the house?"

Chen Xi, Zhou immediately understood the key.

If Hui Niang transfers the yard to Zhou, it would be equivalent to transferring the yard to the Shen family and even the old lady Li. Li would have enough reason to move here, and even let his second son Shen Mingyou, who was renting a house outside, move here. Hui Niang's kindness would help the worse.vvvv,m..com

Seeing that Zhou understood, Chen Xi couldn't help but reminded him again: "Actually, it would be great if Aunt Sun could rent the yard to us now. If Aunt Sun transferred the yard to us, her father and grandmother would doubt whether there was anything wrong with it. Soon, they would know about the fact that her mother and Aunt Sun jointly worked on the printing workshop. Or her grandmother would blame her for the light business in the tea shop."

Hui Niang didn't think so much before. After hearing Chen Xi's words, she kept looking: "It's still Lang who thinks carefully. Can't that sister repay her sister?"

Zhou smiled and said, "Does your words depend on your own family. If you don't repay them, you will be able to do it well in the future."

Although Hui Niang did not give the yard to Zhou, they became closer to each other. Originally, the two of them were so good that they were inseparable. Now, as long as Shen Mingjun doesn't come back, Zhou must come to get up and sleep with Hui Niang.

Chen Xi was very happy. If he was at home, there was only Lin Dai next to him. When he came to Hui Niang's side, Lin Dai would get up to Lu Xier to listen to him tell stories, and would sleep next to him at night. Compared to Lin Dai's restraint, Lu Xier didn't care about that much and was more direct about Chen Xi's obsession. Chen Xi could sleep with the fragrant loli every time.

In the next few days, the printing workshop was not very busy. After printing 500 volumes of the Tong Lin comic strips and the second volume, the printing workshop had resumed its previous business methods, mainly printing text contents. The difference was that according to Chen Xi's proposal, a few pages of pictures were added in the middle.

As Han Wuye finished the story of the Romance of the Gods, this book also entered the print state. After it was launched, the response was good, but it was not as high as the profit of printing comic strips.

As the comic strips from Tong Lin in Ninghua County also began to be sold, the city's desire for subsequent albums has skyrocketed. In addition to creating the original paintings of the third volume and the fourth volume of comic strips in his spare time, Chen Xi also began to conduct new "experiments" to prepare more durable and effective inks.

When Chen Xi initially planned to print comic strips, he hoped to print colorful comic strips. The content of the picture was colorful. Even if it was not particularly realistic, the effect would look much better than that of ordinary comic strips.

Chen Xi understood that comic strips are only in their infancy, so it will be difficult for others to imitate them, but they cannot underestimate the abilities of folk craftsmen. It is estimated that some people will successfully imitate them soon. Then their printing workshops will print monotonous black and white comic strips, and there will be no big market.

Only when color comics are printed will it take a long time for other craftsmen to study and crack them, and the benefits of printing comics will be continuously and maximized.

But Chen Xi is from a liberal arts school after all, and he does not have much experience in ink preparation. Moreover, many chemical raw materials do not have them in this era, so he can only explore and complete them.

The first thing Chen Xi thought of was to steal the printing and dyeing workshop, and asked Hui Niang to invite a craftsman in the printing and dyeing to use herbs and dyes to mix them. After Chen Xi adjusted the colors, it was not possible to print books due to the problems of viscosity, adhesion, thixotropy, and dryness.

Chen Xi combined the books about ink formula ratios that he read in his previous life, and after many tests, he barely prepared qualified inks.

With suitable inks, Chen Xi then tried how to increase colors. From the initial black, red and blue, it gradually developed to the later part of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, and there were several relatively bright colors, which could fully meet the needs of printing color comics.

Chen Xi used color dye to color the original paintings of Tong Lin's book 1 and 2. When he handed the finished paintings to Hui Niang, Hui Niang couldn't believe her eyes. After adding the color, the comic strips became more visible. After reading them, Hui Niang was still immersed in a strong shock for a long time.

"Lang, how did you do it? How long did you do it? Call your mother over here, let's take a closer look. When will this color be added to the comic strip?" Hui Niang couldn't wait to turn Chen Xi's technology into a product, thus bringing rich profits.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Auntie seems to be more anxious than me. Now the research is only in the early stage. Let's print the comic strips of the past first. Anyway, there is enough profit. When piracy starts to appear on the market, I guess I can increase the color to more and the technology is more comprehensive. At that time, we will bring colorful comic strips to the market."

Hui Niang's head and her face was full of longing.

Chen Xi can bring her a huge surprise almost every time, which makes her like and unable to live without Chen Xi. Many times, she regards Chen Xi as an adult who can be discussed, and even obeys her.

Chen Xidao: "Aunt, in order to prevent leaks, I discussed the allocation method with different people this time. They come from different industries and basically prevent others from mastering this core technology. In the future, we will prepare color ink, and the formula will be fully controlled by me. The people in the workshop are only responsible for printing. In this way, even if someone poaches them at a high price, our technology will not leak out."

Hui Niang agreed, but she was still a little worried: "Lang, no matter how good you do your confidentiality work, we have to buy raw materials after all. When others see it, they will naturally guess what things we use to make the ink. Wouldn't it still be revealed?"

"Aunt Sun can be assured. Although we bought rosin, tung oil, paraffin, and black charcoal ash from outside, there are many materials, such as plants and herbs, but I directly took them from the warehouse in the backyard of the medicine shop. I didn't even tell you what you used. Even if they could get dyes, they could only be used for writing. The key technology for printing color comics is still in our hands."

Hui Niang was confused when she heard this, she looked at Chen Xi with her head tilted: "Lang, are these things really all you have developed by yourself?"

"Yes, so please relax. With the technology of printing color comics, it will take at least a few years for others to crack. In the past few years, we will be able to occupy the market. Even if they have studied it, our comics have already made a great reputation, and they can't win if they want to."

Chen Xi drew a big cake for Hui Niang again, which would bring endless wealth.

As the saying goes, there is a specialty in art. Hui Niang initially thought that she could only run a business. After all, she has been in a pharmacy for some time, and the matter of acne vaccination has been praised by the court. Others call her a "goddess doctor", and it seems that she should take root in the pharmacy business.

But now she found that the prospect of opening a printing workshop was broader, which made her fall into deep confusion. Should she insist on doing pharmacy business or printing?

You can't take into account both!

When Hui Niang had this idea, she wanted to find someone to discuss it, and she thought of her good sister Zhou.

But Shen Mingjun has been back every night these days, and she didn't have the chance to have a long talk with Zhou, so she had to keep it in her heart and feel depressed.
