Zhou listened to Shen Xi's words, his eyes lit up, with a little surprise and eagerness, but soon the look on his face dimmed again, and he sighed lightly: "Even if you let your father do something else, what if you look back, the business will still be arranged by your grandmother for someone else to operate." ”

Hui Niang came over and persuaded with a smile: "Sister, don't be pessimistic, listen to what Xiaolang has to say." Xiaolang, tell your mother what you think. ”

Shen Xi smiled innocently: "Before, the most popular thing in our tea shop was not tea, but listening to books, just because people in the city wanted to listen to books, so they would flock to the tea shop, I think if we edit and print Han Wuye's book and sell it to the city and the surrounding towns, the business will be good." ”

"And we don't have to come forward in this business, we just need to find some knowledgeable craftsmen, and then rent a place to start work."

Zhou frowned and pondered, Hui Niang nodded first: "This is a good idea, it can be printed, how can it be sold if you don't rent a shop?" ”

"I thought about it, although there were no printing workshops in the city, there were a few bookstores. Usually they take the goods from the prefecture and the provincial capital, and we can choose to cooperate with them, send the books to them and sell them, and the money will be divided with them in half. In this way, our shop does not need to be publicly unveiled, and only needs my father and mother to go over occasionally to have a look...... As long as my mother doesn't tell my grandmother, how can my grandmother know? ”

Hui Niang said to Zhou: "Sister, I think this thing can be done." Even a person like my sister who doesn't know much can read and write, after listening to Grandpa Yue's story, she also wants to buy a book and come back to read it for herself, but unfortunately there is no place to buy it. And when I go to listen to books, I usually listen to them halfway, and I may not be able to catch the consequences of the previous situation, who told us that we don't have much time? But books are different! "Bai Plating means that hey, Brother Yan, look at the heart of the mouth chapter

Zhou muttered, "It's better not to tell your father ......"

Seeing her son staring at her with wide eyes, she cleared her throat slightly, "That's a good idea, but do you know this?" What if those knowledgeable people bully us and cheat us? Even if we don't cheat, where will we get money to open this workshop? ”

Hui Niang smiled beside her: "Sister, do you think this is good?" The pharmacy has been doing good business recently, and the counterparts in the city have given face, so it is estimated that there is nothing to worry about in the future, so you might as well let your sister join in and open this printing workshop with your sister...... When the time comes, my sister will take the lion's share, and my sister will not only be able to get a piece of the pie, but also get a sneak peek of the published stories, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Zhou hesitated a little: "My sister pays money, but she only takes a small head, I'm afraid it's not very good?" ”

"What's so bad about that...... The idea is from Xiao Lang.,The story is also found by Xiao Lang.,In comparison, this little rent and labor guy's money is nothing.,I'm too lonely on weekdays.,I want to find something to pass the time.,It's best to have a new story to see every day.,Think about it, I think it's a beautiful day.。 ”

Hui Niang had a bit of longing on her face.

Since her husband's death, she can only spend the long night alone, and it is really not good if she doesn't have some spiritual sustenance. Now she is making more and more money, but her heart is getting more and more empty, and she can be regarded as a proprietress in the business of printing and printing books, saying that she can see this book one step ahead of others.

Zhou nodded: "Okay, then let's try it first, if you lose money, don't blame me." ”

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Mother is too careful...... We are not opening a shop, so we don't need to pay for the façade and the purchase of goods, even if we lose, we only lose the rent of the site and a little engraving and ink, and at most add some labor money. ”

Hearing this, Zhou's face, which was originally full of sorrow, became a little more rosy, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he was soon dragged to the dining table by Shen Xi to eat together.

Waiting for dinner, Zhou made a special explanation: "Xiaolang, don't tell your father about this matter before there is progress, lest he tell your grandmother again, and her old man will definitely jump out to obstruct us as soon as possible." ”

Hui Niang said: "Actually, it doesn't hurt for my sister to tell my brother-in-law, let's just tell the outside world that this shop is funded by my sister, and others can't interfere with it." ”

Zhou Shi pondered for a while, and felt that this was very reasonable.

It's as if the Li family can bring the tea shop to the family business when they enter the city, and they can interfere unscrupulously, just because this is Shen Mingjun's own industry. The old lady has a deep-rooted family mentality, as long as there is no separation, everything in the family should be decided by her.

Correspondingly, even if Zhou's status in the pharmacy is transcendent, the old lady is not even willing to enter the door of the pharmacy, because the pharmacy belongs to someone else, even if the Shen family has a share of the dividends, she has no right to interfere.

In these years, there is no shareholder and share, the proprietor is the proprietor, the shopkeeper is the shopkeeper, the guy is the buddy, the proprietor can also serve as the shopkeeper to manage the shop, but the shopkeeper does not have any right to claim the proprietor's right to share the profits. Even if sometimes the proprietor takes the initiative to give dividends to the people below, the store is owned by the proprietor.

After dinner, Hui Niang had to pull Shen Xi and let Shen Xi tell Yue Fei's story from beginning to end.

Zhou had to wait for her husband and mother-in-law to come back, and if she took her two children to bed early, she would also be considered unfilial. Therefore, it is rare for the two families to get together to listen to Shen Xi's story.

Shen Xi is not a professional storyteller after all, and the stories he tells are not as subdued and exciting as Han Wuye, but this story was written by him after all, he knows where the ** is and where the trough is, and he intends to promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, so it sounds even more exciting.

It wasn't until the second watch that there was a knock on the door in the backyard, and Zhou knew that her husband was back, so she hurriedly took the two little ones home, and the story came to an end temporarily.

When Zhou took Shen Xi and Lin Dai into the courtyard, he only saw Shen Mingjun alone, and did not see Li and Shen Mingwen.

"Xianggong, have you found the whereabouts of the uncle?"

Zhou saw that her husband was washing by the ancient well in the middle of the yard with the well water that had just been raised, and hurriedly asked.

Shen Mingjun's face was a little ugly: "I asked many people, but I still didn't find it, but some people said that they saw the eldest brother wandering around the city gate soon after the morning bell rang, and he went out of the city as soon as the city gate opened." My mother was very worried, so I asked someone from my cousin's side to go out of the city to investigate, and I came back to say that I would go to the big house to accompany my mother later. ”

Zhou sighed: "Uncle is too, he rarely speaks when he is in the village, he looks like a very sincere person, who knows that people who enter the city will be lost, what is this!" ”

"Xiaolang, Dai'er, you hurry up and scrub it and go to sleep, my mother may have to go to your cousin's house with your father tonight to see the situation. Don't forget what you told your mother today, and let Aunt Sun take you out for a walk tomorrow. ”

Shen Mingjun asked with some surprise: "Lady, is there something wrong with Xiaolang?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, what can the child's family do, I just want his aunt to take care of him more."

Zhou prevaricated casually, with a slight smile on his face. Shen Xi estimated that the old lady was already dreaming of making a lot of money at this time, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
