A total of 2,000 copies of "The Legend of the West Chamber" were printed, and 900 copies were ordered at once, which is indeed not a small amount.

Coupled with the hundreds of copies sold before, most of them were sold.

Gu Ming slapped his hands on the spot: "Okay, sure enough, as soon as Brother Leping comes out, there is nothing that can't be done!" Come, everybody, applaud him! ”

As a result, He Yongliang was unhappy: "Don't make trouble, such a big credit, just applaud?" Anyway, I ran in the wind and rain for a few days......"

"Understood, isn't it just begging for a drink? Tonight, all of you go to the Drunken Immortal Building, I'm in for a treat! ”

"Papapa~"

The scene resounded with fierce applause.

"Well, I have another piece of good news for you.

In the past two days, I have prepared a new book about some exotic stories. ”

Hearing this, Dong Sheng couldn't help but wonder: "Exotic? So where exactly did you get the footage from? ”

Gu Ming smiled and pointed to his forehead: "As the saying goes, read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles." The more books I read, the more I will naturally accumulate in my mind. ”

"You're amazing!"

"By the way, Dong Sheng, are you painting Du Shi Niang's album?"

"Don't worry, I've already started drawing, and it will be done in a few days at most." Dong Sheng said proudly.

"That's good, hurry up, it's possible that the two books will be printed at the same time."

That night, I drank again.

First, it is to celebrate that He Yongliang has done a big event, and second, the business has continued to rise steadily in the past few days.

Originally, the county seat was not big, and under word of mouth, the fame of the study was already started.

The popularity is also slowly increasing.

Not only scholars from the city, but also some scholars from the suburbs have also come here one after another.

Buy books, exchange books, sell calligraphy and paintings on consignment, or gather in the courtyard to drink a few cups of tea and communicate with each other.

The atmosphere of the literary salon is beginning to take shape.

The next day, sure enough, two booksellers rushed over from Jinhua Mansion and bought a total of 500 copies of "The Legend of the West Chamber" at a price of 650 yuan.

And said that if the sales are good, they will continue to come to buy.

"Don't worry, you'll be here again!"

Gu Ming was full of confidence and responded happily.

Subsequently, he took out two manuscripts and showed them to the other party.

One is the comic book "Du Shi Niang" painted by Dong Sheng, and the other is "One Thousand and One Nights".

"Two shopkeepers, these are the two books that our study is about to release, you can see if you are interested, if you are interested, you can book in advance."

Although the manuscript is incomplete and only partially contained, these two booksellers are experts, and they feel that there is a drama and a market at a glance.

In particular, "One Thousand and One Nights" is not available on the market to deal with exotic folk tales.

If you give more publicity at that time, it will definitely be popular.

So, the two began to inquire on the spot.

"That's right, Du Shi Niang's album was painted by a professional painter, and the cost is naturally higher.

The preliminary price is still 800 Wen, which means that the purchase price for the two is also 650 Wen.

As for the One Thousand and One Nights, this time there will be no illustrations on the inside pages except for the cover.

In this case, the price will be lower, the price is 500 Wen, and the price for two people is considered a whole number of 400 Wen. ”

"Can you let some more?"

The two booksellers began to bargain.

"I've quoted you two with the best price......

So, the two booksellers came together and discussed for a while, and finally agreed on the price.

However, there is one request: do not print the price at the end of the book.

"It's not easy for the two of us to travel all the way, and we want to earn a few more ......."

The implication is that they will increase the price of books depending on the situation.

In fact, Gu Ming had also thought about the pricing issue before.

After all, in the current world context, transportation costs are inevitably increased in places where transportation is far away, and unified pricing is indeed not a wise move.

Therefore, when he heard this request from these two booksellers, he agreed to it: "Okay, then don't print the price."

Now the two booksellers were finally satisfied.

In the end, the deposit was paid, and 200 copies of "Du Shi Niang" and 300 copies of "One Thousand and One Nights" were ordered.

It can be seen that the two are more optimistic about the market of "One Thousand and One Nights".

After all, scarcity is expensive.

The next day, two other booksellers also arrived.

Gu Ming took the opportunity to make another recommendation......

As a result, the two books that had not yet been printed were once again booked for several hundred copies.

In this way, Gu Ming became even more energetic, urging Dong Sheng to speed up the progress. And he himself worked hard, grabbing the pen as soon as he got home.

I finally finished the manuscript in a hurry.

Dong Sheng's side also completed it at about the same time.

For Gu Ming's speed, He Yongliang and others were already numb.

After all, Gu Ming had already demonstrated extraordinary abilities.

You can catch ghosts and kill demons, what else is impossible?

It's just that he has been working all night almost every day for the past few days, and his expression is inevitably a little haggard, and Nie Xiaoqian who watched it was distressed.

Therefore, I deliberately boiled the medicinal soup and brought it to the store.

Gu Ming was sitting in the store and looking through Dong Sheng's sketches attentively, ready to take them to print later.

"Gu Lang, come here."

A soft voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Gu Lang, people call you!"

Dong Sheng learned a sentence in a strange sharp voice.

Gu Ming stretched out his hand and patted it: "Who are you not good at, do you have to learn Leping?" ”

"Wen Xing, I didn't provoke you today."

He Yongliang happened to come out with a stack of books, and he heard this as soon as he came.

"If you don't provoke me, I can't provoke you?"

"Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say, it's really unladylike when you meet someone......"

Gu Ming lazily ignored the two of them, walked to Nie Xiaoqian's side with a smile, and subconsciously glanced at the food box on the table and asked, "Xiaoqian, what delicious food did you send?" ”

"I boiled some soup for you, look at you, the circles under your eyes are a little dark, and you don't have to fight like this to catch up with the manuscript."

"Mmmm, be sure to pay attention next time!"

Gu Ming made a gesture of repentance, and then opened the food box with a smile.

A strong aroma of medicinal food wafted out, and it was mouth-watering.

"Ho, who's stewed here?"

Nie Xiaoqian suddenly became a little nervous: "What's wrong?" ”

"Fragrant, really fragrant, I'll take a look...... Chicken, ginseng, red dates, goji berries...... Is this Yu'er or Mama Liu's stew? ”

"Yes...... I stewed it. ”

Gu Ming's eyes widened, as if he was a little incredulous: "You actually learned to stew soup too?" ”

"People don't know how to learn?"

Unknowingly, Nie Xiaoqian actually used a coquettish tone.

Gu Mingmei smiled: "Great, I finally have love soup to drink." ”

"Don't eat alone, share a little with us." He Yongliang stood aside and coaxed.

Gu Ming said angrily: "Let's play!" ”

Nie Xiaoqian smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't stew much this morning, or let Mother Liu stew some chicken soup again and send it to you for you to drink in the unknown day." ”

"Hey, what's so smelly?"

At this time, Su Ling walked into the store and subconsciously asked.

"Love Soup!"

He Yongliang and Dong Sheng replied together.

"Oh, I know, I know!" Su Ling comprehended.

Gu Ming smiled disdainfully: "Hehe, you are all sour...... Xiaoqian, you can also have a bowl. ”

"No, I've drunk it at home."

"I can't drink it alone, come, I'll serve you a bowl."

Since it is a love soup, it has to be more flavorful for two people to drink.
