Chapter 13: Produced by Xiao Ming, it must be a high-quality product
"You didn't plan to talk to us in the first place, did you?" Sparrow Spirit said in a solemn tone.
Tang Sha was not afraid of the petty nature of the nest at all, and said: "I call everything ready, only the east wind is owed." You must understand that there is no time to lose, and there is no better time to miss this. Or...... Have you seen him? β
"Okay, I'd like to see what the man you praise is like, and let him come to the front yard." With that, the Sparrow Spirit went out of the room and sat down at the stone table in the front yard.
"Go and call him." Qinglan and Lianxin also went out.
Tang Sha shrugged his shoulders, quite helpless. This can make my roommates angry.
Without leaving the main entrance, she flipped back to the backyard through the window.
Yuan Fang held the things he bought in both hands, and stood in his original position without moving a single step.
Why is this kid stupid? Tang Sha said in his heart.
Yuan Fang saw Tang Sha approaching, and moved two steps forward to meet him.
Tang Sha took the things from Yuan Fang's hand and said, "You go to the front yard, those people in my family want to see you, I'll go and put the things out before coming out." β
"Childe, I'...... I ......" Yuan Fang suddenly became very nervous and at a loss when he heard this.
"What am I, remember what I said to you on the way back, go ahead, I'll be here soon." After saying that, Tang Sha ran to climb the window again, which was convenient.
When she put away her clothes, carried the flowers and cakes she bought on a plate, and went out to the main courtyard. There are only three roommates, and Yuan Fang is missing.
"Ning Xiaoming, what about the people you brought back? Hmph, don't think you can buy us if you buy a flower cake. Sparrow Ling stared at the flower cake in Tang Sha's hand. The body is always more honest than words, and as soon as Tang Sha put it down, she couldn't help but take a piece and eat it.
Lianxin and Qinglan are also very fond of flower cakes, so they will naturally not be polite.
Tang Sha took a piece and took a big bite, the entrance was sweet, not bad.
Then he turned away from the stone table and walked towards the backyard. Tang Sha walked from the left side of the main house to the detour backyard, but no one was found. I went back from the right side again, and I saw Yuan Fang moving forward like a turtle, and his hands kept grabbing the long shirt.
Tang Sha smiled helplessly, stepped forward and patted Yuan Fang on the shoulder, startling Yuan Fang.
"Manly man, do things smartly."
After saying that, he pulled him to the front yard.
When the three of them saw Tang Sha leaving, they led someone to come after a while. The man followed Tang Sha, and was only a little taller than her, so he could see the top of his head.
When the people behind were completely exposed in front of the three of them, the expressions of the three of them were slightly weird, this girl who pretended to be a man and didn't have a small statue was here to protect them?
"Son-in-law...... Hello ladies. "Yuan Fang is a little sluggish, the son looks young, but he didn't expect to have three daughters-in-law.
"Poof~" As soon as Yuan Fang's words came out, Tang Sha laughed, and said: "Did the sons and ladies see it, he is the person I said, Yuan Fang." β
Sparrow Ling glared at her and said, "Ning Xiaoming, you speak well to me, what kind of false voice of yours makes me weird." Then he looked at Yuan Fang, after all, she was a girl, and said in a softened tone: "Miss Yuan is good." β
"Poof~ha." Tang Sha really felt that this group of people wanted to laugh at her to death and then inherit her property.
The three roommates looked at her inexplicably, and Yuan Fang whispered awkwardly in Tang Sha's laughter: "I'm not a girl. While peeking at Tang Sha, Childe's voice .......
Naturally, the spirit heard Yuan Fang's words, and coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.
"Don't look at Yuan Fang's beauty, his strength cannot be underestimated, he is a master of the rivers and lakes, ranking tenth, and he is known as a jade-faced scholar." Tang Sha began to make up nonsense again. Hearing this, Yuan Fang was stunned, why was he so powerful, he didn't know.
The three roommates have heard a lot of legends about the rivers and lakes since they were children, and they are very curious about the people and things on the rivers and lakes, but they have never been in contact with the people of the rivers and lakes. Is this jade-faced scholar really so powerful? The name is quite in line with the looks.
"Okay, okay, people have shown it to you, if you agree or not, I have to leave him behind, otherwise I can't rest assured of you, if something happens to you, I won't be crazy." Tang Sha began to talk again.
"If you want to stay, you can stay, it's hard for us to drive him away." Sparrow Spirit crossed his hands in front of his chest.
"It's okay, stay if you want to." Qinglan Road.
"Uh-huh, stay." Lianxin nodded and said.
Sure enough, this world is about looking at faces, and it is also good for Yuan Fangchang to be not aggressive.
After the three of them agreed, they entered the house with a flower cake, and Tang Sha was rejected when he wanted to take another piece. She felt that her status was getting lower and lower.
She and Yuan Fang cleaned up the utility room together, she knew that Yuan Fang's strength was not ordinary, but this was not ordinary, it simply broke through Tang Sha's understanding of human beings!
Those broken door panels, broken tables and chairs, and some strange things are not light. Yuan Fang actually connected them all together with a rope and dragged them away directly at once. Hundreds of pounds of things were dragged on the ground, leaving white scratches, but Yuan Fang didn't show any effort.
She now felt that Xiang Yu might really be able to lift a thousand catties.
There were no new beds in the courtyard, and there was a broken bed in the utility room, barely usable. A thick layer of straw was placed on the broken bed, and sheets and quilts were laid out. Tang Sha felt warmer than his own bed. When Yuanfang left, he moved here.
Yuan Fang can be regarded as living here, Tang Sha knows that Yuan Fang is very curious about where this is now, and also curious about who she is. He didn't ask Tang Sha, but Tang Sha did not shy away from explaining directly.
Yuan Fang heard that she was a woman, and there was no change in attitude, but she was a little surprised, and she still called Tang Sha Gongzi. But when he learned that this was the mansion of the war king Ye Xuanyuan, his little eyes were shining.
Time never slows down for anyone, and four days have passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Sha has not been out of the palace in the past few days, so he just reads books in the courtyard and teaches Yuanfang to read. This teaching found that Yuan Fang was extremely intelligent, and he could teach words once. He could recite the poems by reading them twice.
In just four days, the characters in the book can basically be recognized. Tang Sha was silently jealous in her heart, but she wouldn't tell anyone.
Yuan Fang was also willing to help them run errands and buy some food, so there was no need for Tang Sha to go out.
I also heard that the prince now has only twenty-nine concubines, and one of them left the palace with the book and left. After inquiring, it turned out that he was bumped into by Tang Sha that night. She assured that she didn't make a small report.
It's time to pick up something today. Tang Sha called Shang Yuanfang to go to the store in the south of the city. Outside the store, more than 30 laborers were waiting for Tang Sha early.
Tang Sha opened the door of the shop, took out a few written notes, gave them to the laborers, and said, "You go to these places to report my name, get the things back, and let someone over there send someone to collect the bills." There are ox carts in the city that rent them, so you can go and rent them, keep the accounts, and report them to me. β
The laborers all nodded, and then they all carried out their assigned tasks. Some two or three people are in one place, and some are ten people in one place.
And Yuan Fang followed Tang Sha to the folk kiln, and many people had to carry the large boxes of pottery. But with Yuanfang, there are not so many people.
Sure enough, Yuanfang lived up to Tang Sha's expectations, with a total of four large boxes. Yuan Fang carried two of them by himself, and everyone present was stunned.
Eight other people carried the remaining two boxes. The boxes weren't particularly huge, but they added up to nearly a thousand pounds.
Tang Sha looked at Yuan Fang's back, and suddenly thought about what the scene would be like if Yuan Fang was on the battlefield.
In the morning, I made several trips to some of the fields, especially the carpenter's shop and the paper mill.
In the afternoon, I started to put things out, and after a busy day, I had to ask everyone to continue to do it tomorrow.
Tang Sha and Yuan Fang also returned to Fanghua Temple. I slept very deeply all night.
Early the next morning, they went to the store again and started their work. Finally, by the end of the day, all the placements were sorted.
The only thing that's bad now is the copyrighted book. Those written by those great writers are naturally wanted, but more, Tang Sha wants to collect works of this type from the market, story novels.
So in the next few days, Tang Sha asked people to start printing books, and at the same time asked for various writers. These writers were naturally happy to have someone to sell their books, for fame was far more important than money.
In addition, Tang Sha also took the risk of being shouted and beaten by everyone, making people go around posting signs and advertisements, and also letting people put up some publicity.
These people in the market feel very fresh, and this bookstore actually wants folk tales, drama books, or something. No matter who wrote it, as long as the bookstore collects it, it will give a certain remuneration, and it will be distributed for free, and then your name will be known by the market, or it can be a pen name, and the bookstore will absolutely guarantee not to ask for your real name, and to reveal any physical characteristics and addresses.
This store in the south of the city is not particularly large, so Tangsha is also recruiting various agents. Any store can be, as long as there is a small bookshelf in the store, the silver can be divided.
The effect of these tricks is very good, and many old shops, especially teahouses and tea shops, have found someone to reach an agreement with the bookstore in order to render the cultural and artistic atmosphere.
There are also people who see the benefits in this and want to directly become a branch of the bookstore, but there are only one or two such people who take risks.
Of course, the biggest takeaway is the manuscripts. Because of the imperial examination, some people are talented and cannot be famous because of the imperial examination. In the past, many bookstores only needed the works of celebrities, and they could publish books, but they needed silver, and the number of copies was very small, and the effect was very small.
Now that you have such an opportunity, you can give it a try. In a matter of days, there were thousands of manuscripts. Tang Sha didn't expect the pressure to be so great, so he recruited a large number of literati with a bit of background to help review the manuscript.
β¦β¦
It hasn't started official business yet, and Ning Ge has already used two-thirds of the money he gave to Tang Sha, so he has to speed up the pace.
Xiao Ming Bookstore finally put the first batch of books on the shelves on September 22 with their busy work day and night.
Although the location of the store is remote, because of the proper publicity, there are many people who come here. So most of the books in the store were sold out quickly, as did the ones in the teahouses and restaurants.
The bookstore began to make a profit, which was not as good as the expenditure, but it was a good start.
Because seeing that the business of Xiao Ming Bookstore was so good, the other two major bookstores in the imperial capital felt the pressure and began to follow suit. But the literati they had previously suppressed were unwilling to cooperate with them.
After all, the old bookstore is the old bookstore, although the quality of the products is online, but the reputation and reputation are not comparable to Xiaoming bookstore.
I don't know who is making a stalk in the middle, but some big writers actually don't allow Xiaoming Bookstore to print and sell their books again, saying that they are insulting them by selling them together with those unpopular books.
Of course, there are some people who don't mind and think that writing is for people to read. The content of the text is good or bad, but it is equal in nature.
According to the statistics of the people in the store, most of the popular works sold are those scripts or something.
In order to retain these talented people for a long time, Tang Sha began to post that Xiaoming Books was going to buy out the distribution rights of their scripts. And for a long time for Xiaoming Books, the price is expensive, and it needs to be discussed in person. The time is the first and fifteenth day of each month.
Interests are always attractive, and on the first day of October, the bookstore was crowded with people.
Tang Sha was sitting at the desk at this time, and the person who came to talk to him before seemed to feel that he had no hope and left in disappointment. As soon as he went out, another boy who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old couldn't wait to walk in.
"You may be seated." Tang Sha looked at him a few more times, and then said politely.
The person who came sat down, took out his number slip, and put it on the table and pushed it to Tang Sha. Tang Sha recorded it with a pen.
Because the name is too difficult to write, Tang Sha directly sends the number number, and the number is announced at the door of the store on the second day of junior high school. If you have your own number, take the corresponding number and go through the next procedure. Of course, the note is marked, and if you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.
After remembering the number, Tang Sha asked the young man, "Have you ever sent the manuscript to the bookstore?" β
"It's not time yet." The boy said in a unique voice-changing male duck voice.
Tang Sha recorded it, and then asked, "Then did you bring the manuscript?" β
"I haven't had time to write yet." The boy replied.
Tang Sha: ......
Dare to love this young man is here to play.
Tang Sha put aside the pen in his hand, and amiably said to the opposite person: "Listen, is it your mother who calls you outside, your mother told you to go home for dinner, go, don't run around, the family will be worried." β
"Who is my mother! ! Don't bluff me, don't talk to me in this tone, you look a little older than me, and you talk like your father. The boy seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his visit today, and said unscrupulously. He has the temperament of a young man.
Bird Spirit No. 2, Tang Sha silently labeled him.
"And I'm naturally here today with something." The boy continued, his tone full of tsundere, as if he was confident in what he had brought.
"Oh? Is it? Show me. Tang Sha thought that these children were a little naΓ―ve and funny. I think when she was so old...... Yes, when she was fifteen years old, she met the abbot and the senior brother, the sun of her life.
When the young man heard Tang Sha ask, he subconsciously looked around, and mysteriously approached Tang Sha, as if he was afraid of being heard, and shouted: "Things, in my head." The boy nodded his head with his finger, his eyes sincere.
Tang Sha: ......
