050 To each his own sorrow

At noon that day, when the shopkeeper Feng of Yihe Buzhuang returned to the store after lunch, he only saw the two guys there, and did not see his nephew Feng Yuanzhi, so he asked the two guys, "Where is your account?" ”

The guy replied: "The nephew and young master have a lunch break in the inner hall, and he will not wake up until the time, so let's not disturb him." ”

"Nonsense, he's the account room, what if a guest comes in to buy something to settle the bill?"

The guy hesitated for a moment before replying: "He said, if it's a small business, let us handle it ourselves." Unless it's big business, don't wake him up. ”

"He does this every day?"

"Well, maybe three or four days. He said that people who read must keep their spirits up, otherwise they will be easily sleepy and unable to read. ”

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Feng was immediately so angry that his chest hurt.

He walked into the inner hall with a gloomy face, and sure enough, he saw his nephew lying on the couch sleeping soundly.

Seeing this scene, Shopkeeper Feng really wanted to kick him awake.

However, the other party was his own nephew after all, and he finally endured it.

Sitting in front of his desk, Shopkeeper Feng looked at the messy account book placed on it, and felt a headache.

He now regrets the decision to let his nephew Feng Yuanzhi replace Su Zhen as the bookkeeper.

At the beginning, he was begging his younger brother for his sake, and he thought that his nephew Feng Yuanzhi was his own person after all, far more reliable than outsiders, so he agreed to let Feng Yuanzhi replace Su Zhen as the accountant.

Although Feng Yuanzhi has never done an account room, after all, he has read books for so many years, and it should be easy to become an account room.

Even if he doesn't know, he can learn from Su Zhen, anyway, he still had Su Zhen's salary in his hand at the time, and he believed that Su Zhen would not dare not teach.

Everything seems to be going well, and Su Zhen also answers all questions without concealment.

He also asked his nephew Feng Yuanzhi privately, asking him how he studied and if there was anything he couldn't learn.

Feng Yuanzhi replied very easily, saying that what is so difficult about this, it will be done at a glance.

Even on the last day, Su Zhen asked Feng Yuanzhi in front of him if he had any questions, and Feng Yuanzhi personally said that there was no problem.

Shopkeeper Feng felt that this was the right moment, so he paid Su Zhen and let him go.

But he never expected that when he started to do last month's account book at the beginning of the second month, he found that Feng Yuanzhi didn't know how to do accounts at all.

What he said would do accounts was simply a bastard who messed around according to his own ideas.

Not only are the accounts messy, but the amounts are completely incorrect, which is simply nonsense.

You said that it was okay to do the accounts well, but it was a big deal that he paid a high price to invite a knowledgeable account clerk to come over and teach him.

But the problem is that the longer they get along, the more he finds Feng Yuanzhi's problems.

Usually when there are no customers in the store, he will do his own thing with confidence, either reading books or practicing calligraphy, and completely regard himself as a candidate preparing for the imperial examination.

As long as it doesn't affect the business, Shopkeeper Feng will turn a blind eye to this kind of behavior.

But the problem is that later, when a guest came to him to settle the bill and change after buying something, he actually made a straight face to the guest, looking like the other party was disturbing his study. For this, it also offended a lot of guests.

After being reprimanded by Shopkeeper Feng, he was a little more restrained, but he still showed that kind of condescending attitude from time to time.

He didn't pay any attention to the guys in the store, and completely regarded others as subordinates.

Sure enough, it verified the sentence he usually likes to hang on his lips the most: everything is inferior, only reading is high.

It was as if in his eyes, except for the scholars, everyone else was inferior.

Now it's even more excessive, and I just take a nap and don't even care about the guests.

It is also said in a beautiful name: Scholars must cultivate their spirits, otherwise they will be easily sleepy and unable to read.

Shopkeeper Feng deeply felt that it was not the account room that he invited back at all, but an ancestor.

The most terrible thing is that he can't dismiss Feng Yuanzhi yet.

Otherwise, not only would his younger brother and younger siblings come over to make trouble, but the other clansmen of the Feng family would also scold him for only caring about his own wealth and not caring about the lives of other brothers.

If he really let them make such a fuss, his reputation in the clan will be ruined, and no one will help him next time he has anything.

This time, he was really dumb and ate coptis, and he couldn't tell if he was bitter.

Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no comparison, the more dissatisfied he is with his nephew Feng Yuanzhi, the more he misses Su Zhen who was replaced by him.

He thought of Su Zhen now, and all he thought of was his benefits.

Not to mention that he is usually conscientious and responsible, and the work in the account room is even more impeccable, he has never seen Su Zhen have bothered him.

The most rare thing is that Su Zhen also geniusly came up with the "buy one get one free" method, which opened up the situation for his newly opened store.

The promotion practice of giving small gifts after buying enough money also works, although many shops out there are now following suit.

He always felt that as long as Su Zhen was willing to think about it, he would definitely be able to come up with other better promotional methods with his brain.

It's a pity that now that everyone is gone, what's the use of talking about it.

Knowing this, he would not let his nephew, who has low eyes and low hands, and has achieved nothing, replace Su Zhen.

Shopkeeper Feng regrets it now, and his intestines are green with regret.

…………………………

Just when the shopkeeper Feng of Yihe Buzhuang sighed for the original confusion, the golden shopkeeper of Juyazhai came to report something to the master with a happy face.

After listening to the report of the golden shopkeeper, the owner of Juyazhai asked suspiciously: "You mean, Changqingfang, the largest bookstore in Suyuan Mansion in Jiangnan, wants to buy a batch of new books from us?" ”

"Yes, sir. That Steward Li claimed to be the comprador of Changqingfang, and he came to the capital this time to purchase the first and second volumes of "Liang Zhu" and "Xianxia" on behalf of Changqingfang.

5,000 copies of each, for a total of 15,000 copies. The other party also promised that if it sells well, it will continue to purchase in large quantities in the future.

I privately sent someone to check his identity, and the other party was indeed from Changqingfang. And the other party is willing to pay a deposit, so we are not afraid of other people's tricks. ”

"And what conditions do they have?"

"They demand that the purchase price of each book be 10% lower than that of ordinary booksellers outside."

"One percent is not good, at most it can only be half percent, otherwise it will be difficult for us to explain to other booksellers if the news leaks."

"Yes, sir, I'll talk to him again. But looking at his appearance, he should want this batch of goods very much.

It is said that the fame of "Liang Zhu" and "Xianxia" has spread to the south of the Yangtze River, and the students who came to the capital to participate in the examination slowly spread after reading these two books. ”

The proprietor of Juyazhai thought for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "Lao Jin, I have a hunch that maybe Su Zhen, this kid, may really become the only great writer in the past hundred years who is not relying on poetry and songs, but by writing his own name to shock the Great Wei." ”

The golden shopkeeper shook his head and said, "In charge, this is too difficult, how easy is it to say." ”

"Indeed, this is easier said than done. Go ahead, talk to the people of Changqingfang, I'll wait for your good news. ”

"Yes, master."
