Before Mei Xueyan returned to Jixiang Restaurant, she first turned around and went to Chengfang Printing Workshop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Steward Zhao is directing the men to bind the loose pages into a book, no one in the printing workshop is idle, even the bookkeeper is holding on to the abacus, and everyone is very energetic.

"Miss Mei, you're here!" Steward Zhao greeted.

"Steward Zhao, see everyone is busy? What about the proprietor? ”

Steward Zhao smiled so hard that his folds couldn't be erased, and said, "Yes, this is the second batch of books printed." ”

"Huh? Bought out the 5,000 copies that were printed before? ”

Mei Xueyan was thinking about taking a few copies back, she promised Wu County Order, and she would personally deliver them to Mrs. County Order, even if it was a trivial matter, it was best not to lose faith in others.

"Sold out! It's all sold out, and there's not a single one left! Steward Zhao bared two rows of teeth and said, "No, all the bookstores are here to urge the goods, and we are preparing to print and distribute the second batch." ”

"Didn't you worry about not being able to sell?" Mei Xueyan quipped, "Then you have to talk and invite the guys to the best restaurant for a meal!" ”

Steward Zhao said happily: "That's not a problem!" Today, the owner has paid this month's salary, and I'm in for a treat! Miss Mei going? ”

Mei Xueyan waved her hand and said: "I'll forget it, it's mainly the guys who contribute, and they should be rewarded." ”

Steward Zhao thinks about it, Mei Xueyan is a literati, she can't talk and laugh at the same table with a group of rude guys, and there are girls here, and the guys can't let go, so they won't be reluctant.

"The proprietor is in the back room, I'm busy first, and I'm going to rush out the second batch of books tonight."

"Okay, remember to leave me a dozen or so ......"

Mei Xueyan was also very happy, she had been worried for so long, and finally had a head, and the effect was even more amazing than she expected, it was only four or five days, and five thousand copies were actually sold out.

The more prosperous the business of Chengfang Printing Workshop, the more silver she will receive in the end.

Xue Fang saw Mei Xueyan come in, and she didn't even have time to pour the tea, so she pulled her and hurriedly asked.

"I heard that you moved out of the Lin Mansion?" Xue Fang's tone was worried.

Mei Xueyan said lightly: "Yes, you actually know. ”

"Don't you know, it's spread all over the streets and alleys today! Tell me what's going on. It is rumored that you were kicked out by the Lin family and can only be exiled to live in a restaurant, and some people say that your marriage contract with Lin Saburo has been ruined, and I am in a hurry for a day and am planning to look for you. ”

"It's not that exaggerated, I'm not a member of the Lin family in the first place, and I've lived in the Lin Mansion for many years and Mrs. Lin is already generous."

Mei Xueyan could only tell the cause and effect again, and Xue Fang was shocked when she heard it, and she was stunned for a long time.

"Hey! You didn't quarrel with Lin Sanlang, why did you suddenly withdraw from the marriage, how many daughters in the Lin Mansion can't look forward to it, and this is ...... It's not good for your reputation. ”

Mei Xueyan spoke casually to Xue Fang, and only smiled: "A reckless man with courage and no strategy, and only one strength, do you like it?" You don't know, he's just a stinky hob meat. ”

Xue Fang was stunned, and said with a sentence: "Then you shouldn't go to live in a restaurant, you are alone, and you are a young woman, it is inconvenient to live in a restaurant, and outsiders will also chew the root of your tongue, you might as well move in with me." ”

Mei Xueyan played with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, she didn't think about it so much, but she was afraid of causing trouble to Xue Fang, so she simply stayed in a restaurant.

Xue Fang took her hand and said with pity: "I can see it, you, it seems that Wenwen is weak, but you have a strong temperament, you refuse to bow your head or admit defeat when you encounter something, you are easy to offend people, I am afraid that you will suffer in the future, it is estimated that this matter cannot be counted, and the Lin family will embarrass you." ”

Mei Xueyan doesn't have much experience in the world, so she is not as accurate as Xue Fang, she has never thought about what kind of character she is.

"The Lin family is quite kind, so they won't stumble on me as an insignificant person."

Xue Fang shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, it's better to keep an eye on everything, if you encounter something in the future, discuss it with me more, and I'll help you sum it up." Lin Saburo actually doesn't believe you, it's because he doesn't have that blessing, I guess he will regret it at this time. ”

Mei Xueyan smiled, Xue Fang was changing ways to comfort her, if Lin Sanlang had this tenderness, he would not only be rude when he encountered something, remembering that he threw the silver ticket to her that day, this is his way of treating people well, it is really stupid, funny but not so disgusting.

"Don't talk about him, how is the business of the printing workshop?" Mei Xueyan asked.

Speaking of this, Xue Fang was even more interested, took an account book, and pointed it out to Mei Xueyan.

"The second batch of finished books has not yet been printed, and all the bookstores in Lin'an have already come to order, you see, they are all at the price of forty-five yuan a piece."

"Another five wen?"

"Yes, the market price is 70 yuan! When it was out of stock yesterday, there were even people who offered a higher price. It seems that we are right, not only the readers like it, but also those ladies and ladies who can read and write, and even those who can't read and write are read to them. ”

Unexpectedly, there is a shortage of novels these days, the entertainment of the people is also poor, listening to books and operas are all old excerpts, there is no new idea, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is novel and exquisite, and it can make people like it when it comes out, Mei Xueyan is very confident in this literary novel.

"There are only two bookstores that have no willingness, one is under the name of the Ma family, and the other is the bookstore of the Lin Mansion, you see, the Lin Mansion is dark or hates you, fortunately, the Lin family is not based on the bookstore, and it has no impact on us."

Mei Xueyan knew that the Lin family had a bookstore, which was used by others to pay off debts in the past, and Mrs. Lu was later handed over to the second room to take care of, it seems that the shopkeeper of the bookstore was instructed by the Shen family, and the business of the Lin family's bookstore was already bleak, and the Shen family did this to cut off their own financial route.

"And the storyteller from the teahouse has already approached you and wants your authorization."

Mei Xueyan nodded and said, "I don't know much about this, next time a teahouse comes to discuss, Sister Fang, you can negotiate the price with them." ”

"That's fine."

Cui Xiancheng walked over quickly, and said: "Miss Mei, the profit of the first batch of books has been calculated, after deducting the cost, the net profit is two hundred taels, you have thirty percent of the shares of Chengfang Printing Workshop, plus the two percent royalties prepared before, you can get one hundred taels, this is one hundred taels of silver tickets, Baofeng silver, you take it." ”

Mei Xueyan took the silver ticket, a thin piece of paper with fancy lines on it, and the seal of Baofeng Yinhao.

"This is the account, Miss Mei checks it."

Mei Xueyan refused: "I can trust Brother Cui, so I don't need to look at it carefully." ”

One hundred taels, the number is not as thick as Lin Sanlang's, but this is her own, a fluttering piece of paper is enough to buy a small courtyard, which means a lot to Mei Xueyan, and she can be regarded as a self-reliant person.
