There are many cases like this showman. Originally, those who read books, if they wanted to test for fame, could not follow them to the teahouse to listen to the books without doing anything; There are also those who have something to do, such as the officials of the yamen, the shopkeepers and bookkeepers, and the squires and landlords in the countryside, who also have no time to listen to the story. Ancient entertainment was so poor.,I don't know what to do if I want to pass the time.,Now there are two books with such a good reputation.,Naturally, I want to buy and take a look.。

So the first and second volumes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu" were printed in 500 copies each, and they were sold out in just two days.

After Du Jinning got out of school, he went to the bookstore to see the situation, and immediately ordered: "You can count and see how many tea customers buy the book and what proportion they have." ”

Yao Shuqi saw that Mr. Bookkeeper agreed, so he began to count, and couldn't help but ask Du Jinning: "Young Master Du, what are you doing with this?" ”

"I want to see if the tea customers buy more or if other people buy more." Du Jinning said.

This is actually a nonsense, Du Jinning's real plan, in front of the account office and his buddies, did not say it.

She felt that it was time to open shops in other counties and prefectures. As for whether the teahouse and the bookstore opened at the same time, or whether the teahouse was opened first and then the bookstore, we have to look at the number of statistics.

She is different from Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan, and she is also different from Zhang Hongwen.

Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan have no need to make money at all, even if they don't make a penny, their families can provide them with a lifetime of fine clothes and food; And Zhang Hongwen's goal is to conduct scientific research, as for making money or something, he can leave it to his father or brother to do. If he focuses on making money, he is putting the cart before the horse.

But Du Jinning is completely different from them, she has no family background to rely on, and no father and brother to work together, she can only rely on herself. As for the imperial examination, although she will participate, it has never been her ultimate goal to bow to the prime minister and favor the government and the opposition.

She still likes small money.

She wants to be cunning and cunning, she wants to go to other big cities or even the capital to buy a house, and she has to go there to buy fields and shops, all of which cost money, but it is not supported by the income of a tea garden and a few teahouses and bookstores.

So she's going to expand her business.

The account office quickly counted the data, and reported to Du Jinning: "Sixty percent were bought by tea customers, and forty percent were bought by other guests." ”

"You can see how many tea customers are on the first day, and how many tea customers are on the second day."

The account room was stunned for a moment, counted it and said: "On the first day, the tea customers accounted for eighty percent, and on the second day, they only accounted for forty percent." ”

Du Jinning nodded, knowing the score in his heart. She looked at the sky and said, "It's almost time, let's get on the board." ”

In ancient shops, the door panels were all movable, and the door panels were removed in the morning, and the door panels were pressed one by one when the doors were closed in the evening. Therefore, opening the door in the morning is called "lower board", and closing the door at night is called "upper board".

As early as half an hour ago, Yao Shuqi had counted today's goods and money, and after listening to Du Jinning's words, he said: "Everyone pack up your things and put them on the board." ”

The bookkeeper and one of the lads were quick to pack up their things and put the door up the panel.

Seeing that Du Jinning was still standing there and didn't leave, Yao Shuqi stepped forward and asked, "What else does Young Master Du command?" ”

"Do you know the Lu Xiaobei family and the Qin Lao Sixth family?" Du Jinning asked him.

"Yes." Yao Shuqi looked at Du Jinning inexplicably.

"I'm waiting for you at Wang Kee's restaurant, you close the door and call the two of them, let's have a meal together, I have something to tell you." Du Jinning said.

"Okay." Yao Shuqi smiled, "I'll go around home and talk to the family in a while." ”

Du Jinning nodded, slowly paced away, and went to Wang Ji Restaurant.

Wang Ji Restaurant is a small restaurant, and the owner does a good job of cooking, but because the environment is not good and the price is low, those with status will not come here. Today, the business of Wang Kee Restaurant is not good, except for one table of customers, the rest of the tables are empty.

Du Jinning found a corner to sit in, ordered a few dishes, and slowly drank tea and waited for a few people to come over.

It didn't take long for Lu Xiaobei to arrive first. After a while, Qin Lao Liu and Yao Shuqi also walked in.

The boss brought the food up, warmed up a dime of wine, and then withdrew.

Du Jinning picked up the wine glass and was about to fill it for everyone, but Lu Xiaobei hurriedly took it and said, "I'll come, I'll come." As he spoke, he was about to pour wine for Du Jinning.

Du Jinning covered the cup in front of him and said with a smile: "I'm too young to drink, you drink." ”

In fact, during the Chinese New Year, she also tasted wine because of curiosity. The alcohol content in this era is not high, and her body wants to drink a good amount, and it is okay to drink a glass. But if she went home drunk, Chan would have to beat her to death.

Among the four people present, although Du Jinning is the youngest, she is the owner and a scholar, and everyone respects her. She didn't drink it, so Lu Xiaobei was naturally reluctant to do it, so she poured wine for the others.

Du Jinning replaced wine with tea, touched everyone, and after three rounds of wine, he said: "I want to go to Fucheng and other counties to open teahouses and bookstores." ”

Everyone was startled and put down their glasses to look at her.

Du Jinning said again: "Young Master Guan and Young Master Qi have extraordinary family backgrounds, and they have to do business at home, and someone will take care of them. They used to partner with me, but the elders of the family took pity on my poor family. Now I'm going to open a teahouse and a bookstore elsewhere, and their elders won't let them handle it anymore. As for Young Master Zhang, he is now wholeheartedly going to take the imperial examination, and I don't want to let him be too distracted. ”

"So, if they go to open teahouses and bookstores elsewhere, even if they are willing to participate, they will only contribute some money, and they will not care about other things. But in my hands, there is no one to use except you. ”

As she spoke, she looked at the three of them and said, "Do you have any reliable people, just recommend them to me." I can trust you, and I can trust the people you recommend. ”

Lu Xiaobei looked at Yao Shuqi and Qin Lao Liu, and when he saw that the two didn't speak, he shook his head first.

He said: "I'm young, and it's a coincidence that I met Shopkeeper Yao, and I really don't know other people, let alone have any friendships." Moreover, a reliable and capable shopkeeper may not be able to meet him, let alone be willing to go elsewhere. It's a bit tricky. ”

Qin Lao Liu also smiled and said: "Don't look at me, I'm just an idle man on the street, and I know either gangsters or ordinary people, shopkeepers...... He looked at Yao Shuqi and said with a smile, "Now I just met one, and it is the shopkeeper Yao." ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yao Shuqi pondered for a moment, raised his head and looked at Du Jinning: "I'll go." ”
