As the two were talking, Lao Zhong came in carrying a few dishes.
They are all small dishes that are refreshing.
Zhao Hao took a look and asked in surprise, "When did our restaurant have these dishes?"
He looked at Su Si: "Is this arranged by Miss Su?"
Su Si nodded.
"Yes, sir. The stir-fried dishes on our first floor are unique, but the other dishes are not rich enough, so I took the initiative to add some refreshing dishes."
“Some of it has a Vietnamese flavor.”
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "These two dishes should be the dishes of your Yue country. They look good. How do the guests respond?"
Without waiting for Su Si to answer, Lao Zhong said, "Master, the guests like it very much. Now these two dishes are almost must-order!"
Zhao Hao nodded.
"Then I'm going to give it a try. I've never tasted Vietnamese cuisine before!"
"By the way, Miss Su hasn't eaten yet, right? Sit down and eat together!"
Su Si nodded slightly, walked to sit opposite Zhao Hao, and started eating with him.
The two of them were eating and chatting. Just after they finished eating, Princess Li Ge, who they had just talked about, arrived.
Zhao Hao had no choice but to ask Lao Zhong to take the person to the study.
"Your Highness, we meet again!"
Seeing Zhao Hao, Princess Li Ge smiled slightly.
"Mr. Zhao, I heard that your papermaking workshop has been successful?"
"I am very interested in the white linen paper you made. I wonder if I can cooperate with you?"
Zhao Hao said calmly: "Her Highness the Princess is well-informed. I just came back and Her Highness the Princess already knows about it?"
Princess Li Ge said: "Master Zhao may not know that many people are paying attention to your papermaking workshop now."
"So the news naturally spread faster!"
Zhao Hao's eyes flashed: "Who are the many people that Princess Royal Highness mentioned?"
Princess Li Ge said, "Master Zhao will know about it soon. I believe it won't be long before those people will come to me and want to cooperate with you, just like me!"
Zhao Hao said: "The workshop is not large at the moment, the output is still very low, and winter is coming soon."
"We can't do it after winter, so let's talk about cooperation later."
Princess Li Ge nodded: "That's fine, we can just settle the cooperation first!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "I haven't figured out how and when to sell it yet, so there's no rush."
Hearing him say this, Princess Li Ge had no choice but to say, "Well, since you said so, let's put the cooperation aside for now."
"However, if you ever decide to start cooperation, you must inform me immediately!"
Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Your Highness Princess, you have too much confidence in me. You haven't even seen what paper looks like!"
Princess Li Ge said: "I have great faith in Master Zhao's ability. Since you said it was successful, it must be good!"
"However, I really want to see what the paper you made looks like!"
Zhao Hao said, "I came back in a hurry today and didn't bring it back. I'll let Her Royal Highness see it when I have a chance later."
…
After seeing Princess Li Ge off, Zhao Hao brought Lao Zhong out of the first floor and returned home.
After greeting his mother Qin Shuyun, he went straight into the room and began to study printing.
The printing process does not simply require movable type.
With only movable type, the printing efficiency is extremely low.
Therefore, in addition to movable type, machinery is also needed to greatly improve printing efficiency.
This involves a relatively complex set of processes and procedures.
As for movable type, Zhao Hao still plans to use copper movable type directly.
This is faster and more convenient.
As for wooden movable type or clay movable type, more processes are required.
Of course, it will be cheaper.
However, Zhao Hao still doesn't plan to do that for the first set.
In comparison, movable type is easier to make. All you have to do is cast copper blocks of the same specifications and then find workers to engrave the words on them.
The most important thing is the mechanical aspect.
What Zhao Hao was planning to make was a machine that could print eight to twelve chapters at a time.
The paper is adjusted by rollers and then transferred to the printing plate, where it is automatically pressed to form book pages.
This kind of mechanical structure is relatively simple.
The operation will not be troublesome.
At most two people can easily control it.
Zhao Hao stayed in the room writing and drawing for the whole morning, and finally completed the complete mechanical sketch.
But this is just a sketch.
Specific verification is still required.
When he was writing guides in his previous life, he had a relatively clear understanding of this thing, but it was only limited to theory.
He has never done any specific operations.
The next day, he asked Lao Zhong to find a dozen workers.
There are carpenters, blacksmiths, and bamboo craftsmen.
Zhao Hao separated the sketch and gave each craftsman a part, asking them to make them according to the standard size.
After a dozen craftsmen got the drawings, they started working on it immediately.
Everything was arranged properly, and Zhao Hao finally felt a lot more relaxed.
Finally done, no need to worry anymore.
Just wait for the results and do some debugging and modifications.
Finally I don’t have to be as busy as a dog as before.
Everything was arranged. Zhao Hao took a deep shower and fell asleep directly in the room.
When he woke up, it was already night.
Just as he was about to go out to find something to eat, Lao Zhong came to report: "Master, the master is back and wants to see you!"
Zhao Hao was still confused. He nodded and went to the north room.
"Dad, what happened again?"
"You look so bad?"
Zhao Wenxiang said, "You've been very busy lately. You haven't even been back for a month!"
“So paper was made?”
Zhao Hao nodded: "It's made. The overall quality is still slightly worse than bamboo paper, but it's also very good!"
"Whether it's for writing or painting, there's no problem!"
Zhao Wenxiang said, "Did you bring it back? Show it to me!"
Zhao Hao nodded slightly, called out to Lao Zhong, and asked him to get some paper.
The reason why he didn't want to show it to Princess Li Ge was because he didn't want to cause any trouble.
Although it will be seen sooner or later.
Soon, Lao Zhong took the paper and handed it to Zhao Wenxiang.
Zhao Wenxiang held it in his hand and nodded continuously.
"Well, it's good, it's really good, the quality is high, and it has a unique flavor."
“I never thought that white hemp could produce paper of this quality!”
Zhao Hao said, "There are actually many things that can be used to make paper, but we only have enough white hemp here!"
Objectively speaking, the cost-effectiveness of white hemp papermaking is still relatively low.
After reading for a while, Zhao Wenxiang put the paper aside, looked at Zhao Hao and said: "Hao'er, Dad has something to discuss with you."
