When Zhao Qingzao thought about his thoughts and accompanied Shen Changting into the door of the bookstore, he was immediately seen by the sharp-eyed shopkeeper in the bookstore.

When the shopkeeper saw Shen Changting, his eyes couldn't help but light up, as if he saw a golden pimple, his face was full of smiles, and he said earnestly: "Brother Shen, I came here so early today, did you come to the town for something?"

When Zhao Qingzao saw this, she didn't understand what was going on, this kind of look like seeing a cash cow, she was not uncommon in her previous life, and she immediately understood that Shen Changting copied books in the past, and it was estimated that the shopkeeper had made a lot of money.

Shen Changting was easy to speak, nodded with a friendly face, and said, "Shopkeeper, this is the book I took back yesterday, and I copied it and sent it over." ”

Zhao Qingzao also nodded and said, "Yes, and Brother Changting is not feeling well, so he just let the doctor take a look." ”

"Oh, Brother Shen is sick, is there a big problem?" When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately spoke with concern, and he didn't care why a little girl suddenly appeared next to Shen Changting, after all, Shen Changting was not young, and it was estimated that this was his daughter-in-law.

"It's okay, it's all the same. Shen Changting shook his head, and took out the book he took back and the hand-copied one.

Zhao Qingzao was already staring at the side, and when he saw this, he took the book without hesitation, and asked the shopkeeper curiously: "Shopkeeper, my brother Changting copied a book, how much salary do you give?"

Zhao Qingzao had a harmless little round face, coupled with that innocent gaze, so that the bookstore shopkeeper didn't suspect anything else at all, and immediately smiled: "Such a book, if you copy it, it's worth two taels of silver." ”

"It's only two taels of silver?"

Zhao Qingzao frowned slightly, and said with a puzzled expression: "Shopkeeper, you are too dark, it's easy to bully my brother Changting." ”

"Why is it dark? Isn't this the normal price?" The shopkeeper's face was stunned, as if he didn't expect Zhao Qingzao to say such words.

Zhao Qingzao muttered unhappily: "Why isn't it dark, look, such a book, if you take it and sell it, it's worth at least ten taels, not to mention ten taels, seven or eight taels is definitely worth it, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are only a few dollars, a few pennies, plus this blank book, at most a dozen cents, you give me Brother Changting two taels of silver, which is too unkind." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face suddenly looked a little unnatural, and he was a little speechless for a while, and what was even more unexpected was that Zhao Qingzao would calculate such an account, and he was speechless for a while, and looked at Shen Changting with a stunned face.

Shen Changting was also blindsided, and also looked at Zhao Qingzao a little blankly, this girl actually knew how to settle accounts, and it seemed that she was still a clear man, which made him a little unacceptable for a while.

Shen Changting is an honest man, the shopkeeper knew what was going on at a glance, and he didn't care about it, looked at Zhao Qingzao, and said with a wry smile: "Girl, it's true that this is true, but this book is not easy to manage, not to mention that it is not very easy to sell in these years, and it costs money to go back and forth for a long distance." ”

"No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor children, this is a peaceful world, everyone wants to let their children read, how can this book be difficult to sell, I'm afraid that people will rush to buy it." ”

Zhao Qingzao is not so easy to fool, after all, although she looks like a young green girl, but the core is not tender for a long time, who doesn't want their children to have a reputation in this world, they will naturally double their training, and those who are a little richer will probably find ways to send their children to study.

The shopkeeper is really embarrassed now, and it's not good to turn his face with Zhao Qingzao, after all, Shen Changting is really the cash cow of their bookstore now, Shen Changting looks weak, but the word is really good, and the books he copied are also very popular, so he didn't want to offend too much, and immediately said tentatively: "What does the girl mean, this salary is less?"

"Uh-huh. ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded without hesitation, looking confident, and continued: "No matter how you say it, you have to give six or seven taels of silver, after all, my brother Changting's words, but the writing is really good, and he works seriously, there will be no typos, and the price of his books will not be low, the shopkeeper, for the sake of my brother Changting, don't bully people too much." ”

"Six, seven, two!"

The shopkeeper exclaimed, his eyes bulging like frog eyes, and he said angrily: "Girl, it's a shame that you dare to speak, I can't afford this salary." ”

Shen Changting was also a little anxious, he felt that it was really wrong to ask for such a sky-high price, so he immediately pulled Zhao Qingzao and shouted: "Qingzao, don't talk nonsense." ”

"I didn't talk nonsense. ”

Zhao Qingzao tugged at Shen Changting, frowned, looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Since this is the case, then forget it, Brother Changting, let's go back, you are tired and sick, don't be busy in the future, this is simply thankless, and what to do is better than this." ”

Saying that, Zhao Qingzao handed the book that she originally took from the bookstore to the shopkeeper, as for the other copy by Shen Changting, she took it in her hand and said to the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper, this is the original Brother Changting took it back, and I will return it to you, this copied one, the salary is too low, we take it back, and we must be able to sell it for seven or eight taels." ”

"Don't, don't ......"

The shopkeeper's face immediately changed, looked at Zhao Qingzao, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, or I'm going to raise it a little, but girl, to be honest, this copy of a book is six or seven taels of silver, it's too high, if you insist on this, you won't say much in the future, you really can't afford it." ”

Cut!

Zhao Qingzao sneered in her heart, she couldn't afford to pay it, but she didn't want to make too much trouble, so she immediately said: "Or five taels? ”

The shopkeeper's face was helpless, he thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Five taels is five taels!"

"Hehe, that's pretty much it. ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded with satisfaction, handed the book to the shopkeeper, and said: "Shopkeeper, don't be less than this price in the future, businessmen, pay attention to it, and worry about not being able to earn silver." ”

In these years, everything pays attention to reputation and prestige, after all, the assessment of a person's quality in these years is nothing more than the set of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, even if it is a businessman, he can't get out of this trap, and Zhao Qingzao also sees this.

"Wait a minute, I'll settle the bill for you. ”

The shopkeeper really didn't know what to say at this time, looking at Zhao Qingzao was like looking at a little fox, he really didn't want to continue to deal with him at all, where is this a girl, it's just an old fox.

"Okay, trouble the shopkeeper. ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded very happily, and said in her heart that she was fortunate to come, otherwise it would be a big loss.

After receiving the money, after all, Shen Changting's body still needs to be cultivated, and the shopkeeper may also be upset, and he didn't mention continuing to copy books for a while, but Zhao Qingzao didn't care about this, she couldn't do it, the shopkeeper really didn't care about Shen Changting anymore, if this was the case, he would have said it to death just now.

Don't look at the shopkeeper's painful look just now, in fact, he just made a little less money, but if the price of the book is a little higher, he will be able to earn it back when the time comes.

The wool is out of the sheep, the merchants of this year, it is not the era of the information explosion in the previous life, the prices are transparent, this year, what is the price, except for some daily prices, the rest is completely dependent on the businessman to talk casually.

However, as soon as he got out of the bookstore, Shen Changting's face changed, and he glared at Zhao Qingzao and said: "What were you doing just now, I have already discussed this salary with the shopkeeper, how can I change my hexagram now, wouldn't it be shameful to go back on my word like this!"

Zhao Qingzao immediately became angry, and said angrily: "He is obviously cheating on you, what's the matter, you can't get justice if you are cheated, I didn't let him make up for the previous ones, it's already good, I'm not you, I was sold, and I helped others count the money." ”

Such a nerd, I really don't know what to say to her, no one is stupid like this, she really doesn't understand, what kind of person is it to teach such a superlative, after all, from the point of view of Shen Changting's knowledge, presumably the previous education should not be bad, how can he develop such an elm pimple, he can't look at it directly.

"You! how can this be the same. ”

Shen Changting was so angry that his face turned red, and he said angrily: "Scholars must first be moral, since they have said it well, how can they change their orders day and night, your behavior like this will not make me lose my trust." ”

Zhao Qingzao was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and immediately sneered at him: "Who is he, worthy of your maintenance, businessmen, profit first, forgetting righteousness is commonplace, you and such people will be moral, you are really a particular person, I don't have morality, I don't have any morality, I don't have you culture, I just know that I can't suffer in vain, anyway, I already want more money, you dare to send it back, I will fight with you!"

Encountering this kind of scoundrel statement, Shen Changting suddenly wanted to scold his mother, even if he was full of poetry and writing, when he encountered such an unreasonable person, he was helpless for a while, and said a little angrily: "Okay, I won't fight with you, but have you ever thought about it, what if you make such a fuss, what if the shopkeeper doesn't ask me to copy books in the future? I'm not the only one in the world who is literate, and I'll be really hungry at that time." ”

"Cut, if he really doesn't want to look for you, he will make it clear just now, your worries are too redundant, these ten miles and eight towns, you see if he can find another one." ”

Zhao Qingzao was half angry, snorted coldly, and said: "It's really strange that you have a kiss with a businessman who forgets his righteousness." ”

"You!"

Shen Changting's face turned blue with anger, and he said angrily: "I'm too lazy to argue with you!" he turned around and left.

Shen Changting seemed to be really angry at this time, so he raised his feet and left, and threw Zhao Qingzao away in an instant.

"What are you doing so fast!"

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao was shocked, she knew that Shen Changting was not in good health, and she was worried that he would suddenly get sick again, so she couldn't help but hurry up.

Who would have thought that as soon as she moved, she stepped on a rotten wooden plank, and as the wooden board snapped, her body was unstable, and she fell in an instant.

"Ahh

Suddenly, there was a heart-piercing pain in his feet, which made Zhao Qingzao suddenly exclaim.

"What's going on!"

Shen Changting heard Zhao Qingzao's exclamation in pain, turned his head to look, and saw Zhao Qingzao falling to the ground, his face was in a hurry, he couldn't care about being angry, he hurriedly turned around and returned, and said, "What's wrong, where did you fall?"

"Shhh

Zhao Qingzao bared his teeth in pain, looked at Shen Changting's concerned look, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, it's just twisted to my foot, and it will be fine in a while." ”

"Don't move, I'll see. ”

Shen Changting helped Zhao Qingzao to sit on the ground, pulled her feet, pinched them, and said, "Where?"

"Ankle, it's okay, it's twisted, just rest. ”
