Xu Wei takes care of the bookstore business very carefully, and he has to ask about everything.

After all, this was the first thing Xu Yan gave him to do. Doing the errand well is the only thing Xu Wei wants to do at this moment.

Although he liked this book very much, he didn't expect it to sell so well.

The customers who came to Miaofeng Hall were basically rushing to "Journey to the West", and as for the imperial examination reference books such as "Notes on the Four Books" and "Notes on the Five Classics", no one cared about them, which was slightly embarrassing.

However, Xu Wei has a good mentality, he is now a bookstore shopkeeper, not a sour reader. Helping the owner make money is his primary focus right now.

Dinghai County is not big, and soon the strange book of "Journey to the West" spread in the city. Whether it is a reader full of poetry and books, or a small person in the market who is coarse and well-versed, they all rushed to join in the fun and buy a copy to go back. Anyway, a thin booklet doesn't cost much, and it's much cheaper than just buying the whole book. Even if it doesn't look good, next time I don't buy it. In the words of the guys in Miaofengtang, you can't buy it, you can't lose money, and you can't buy it.

In just one day, the bookstore's stock was sold out, and it had to be printed in a hurry.

Xu Wei felt that this was not the way to go, so he planned to limit the number of people who could buy from tomorrow and adopt a limited sales model.

Of course, this is what Xu Yan suggested to him.

It turns out that Xu Gongzi does have a vision, and under the mode of limited release, the popularity of "Journey to the West" has not decreased, but has become more popular than before.

Someone rushed to line up outside Miaofeng Hall early, for fear that they would not be able to buy it if they were late.

Of course, this gives rise to a problem, that is, customers who buy books are complaining that there are too few chapters printed at one time, and they are not enjoyable enough to read. The words Xu Wei heard the most were urging changes.

However, this is not a problem that Xu Wei can solve.

After all, the author of "Journey to the West" is the master of Huayang Cave, not Xu Wei. Even if Xu Wei was in a hurry, it was useless.

Xu Wei also took the initiative to ask Xu Yan twice to see if he could ask the master of Huayang Cave to update the chapter quickly, but Xu Gongzi's reply was that the master of Huayang Cave was very casual, and he was willing to write and update when he wanted. He didn't get the manuscript either.

Xu Wei couldn't help but sigh, there are really such wonderful people in this world who regard gold and silver as dung.

It is clear that he can make a lot of money, but he is not moved, and he can still stick to his heart. It's just so rare.

At this point, Xu Wei stopped urging. Just by virtue of the quality of "Journey to the West", it is slower, and some people watch it.

The bookshop's income is very considerable, and Xu Wei is of course happy in his heart.

However, he was more concerned about whether Miaofengtang could get out.

After all, Dinghai County is still too small, and the number of people who read books is limited.

If you want to make a lot of money, you have to open a branch in Fucheng and even Hangzhou.

There is a large population there, and most of them like to read.

With the quality of "Journey to the West", it will definitely be highly sought after.

Of course, this kind of thing is not up to him as a shopkeeper, and after making up his mind, Xu Wei decided to go to the Xu Mansion to discuss with Xu Yan.

said that when Xu Wei came to Xu's mansion, he saw Xu Yan boxing, so he waited quietly on the side.

After Xu Yan's boxing method was finished, he smiled and said: "Childe's boxing method is clean and neat, but Xu has never seen it." I don't know what it's called. ”

Xu Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a harmonious voice: "This set of boxing methods is called Tai Chi. Pay attention to both rigidity and softness, both inside and outside. Breathing and breathing is the key to it, and it pays attention to the unity of mind, body, and spirit. ”

Taijiquan was a well-known boxing method in later generations, but it did not appear in the Jiajing period. Of course Xu Wei didn't know.

"I see. This fist technique does not seem to be difficult, and even scholars and children can practice it. ”

Xu Wei is interested in Tai Chi.

"What, Senior Brother Wen also intends to practice this Tai Chi?"

Xu Wei shook his head again and again: "I'll forget it." ”

Xu Yan beckoned Xu Wei to sit down, and the maid in her own house served melon, fruit and tea.

"Brother Wen tasted the taste of this West Lake Longjing, my grandfather ordered someone to pick it from his own tea garden."

Xu Wei first lifted the lid of the cup and smelled it, and a fragrance came to his nose.

Then he took a sip, and the rich aroma of tea filled his mouth.

"Good tea, really good tea!"

Xu Yan smiled faintly and said, "If Senior Brother Wen likes it, take a few catties back." ”

Xu Wei sighed: "Xu is useless." ”

"Brother Wen, what are these words? The business of the bookstore has been so good in the past few days, all of which are the credit of Brother Wen. ”

Xu Yan praised without hesitation.

Xu Wei shook his head: "They are all going to "Journey to the West". Whether there is Xu or not, it is the same. ”

After a pause, Xu Wei continued: "By the way, Childe, Xu came today to discuss with Childe about opening a branch." Dinghai County is too small after all. It's a pity that we have such a good manuscript in our hands, but we can't earn the benefits we deserve. It is better to open a branch in Fucheng and Hangzhou, and the silver earned should be several times the current one. I don't know what Childe thinks? ”

Xu Wei was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know if Xu Yan would agree.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yan slapped his thigh: "I think the same way, this is really the same as what heroes see." ”

After a pause, Xu Yan continued: "Originally, I was still waiting for the Great Grandmaster to preside over the academy examination. But I couldn't wait for the left and right, and then I thought that even if the great master came, he would definitely preside over Hangzhou, Shaoxing and other mansions first. Ningbo will definitely go to the back row. In this way, I am still doing something in Dinghai County. It's better to go to Hangzhou. ”

Xu Wei's eyes showed surprise: "Sone is going to Hangzhou?" ”

Xu Yan nodded: "Is Senior Brother Wen willing to go along?" It's a good time to look at the branches. ”

Xu Wei naturally wanted to go, nodded and said, "Xu is naturally willing to follow Gongzi." But this thing in the temple of Miaofeng..."

Xu Yan saw that he was scrupling with this smile and said, "You don't have to worry about this." I'll find someone to look at the store. ”

"In that case, Xu is at the disposal of his son."

"Then I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Xu Yan did not hesitate and immediately clapped his head.

...

...

There is still a lot to prepare for in the remaining half a day.

Not to mention the clothes and silver, there are also a few jars of soju prepared for Mr. Qian.

There is no way that the old man is good at this, if Xu Yan went to Hangzhou but did not bring Ningbo special rice wine to the old man, Qian Laobeard must blow to the sky.

Although his son has been to Hangzhou once, Xu Huaiyuan is still a little relieved.

After all, the last time they were father and son together, their son was by his side and could take care of him at any time.

Xu Yan assured him a few times before Xu Huaiyuan reluctantly agreed, and asked him to write a letter to his grandfather as soon as he arrived at his grandfather's place.

Xu Yan naturally responded one by one.

This time, his mentality is very different when he goes to Hangzhou again, and he is a lot more relaxed.
