"What are they printing now?" Liu Man'er just saw that they didn't seem to be printing their own books, and after leaving the printing shop, she asked casually.

"Hey, there's some sour show in this city that we're going to print a book of poetry for them." Han Shixin said with a smile: "A book of fifty yuan, although the number of printed is not much, but it is still quite profitable, and no matter how few mosquitoes there are, it is still meat." ”

Liu Man'er didn't expect that someone would come to the door to ask for help printing her books so soon, which was really interesting.

"That's right, if sometimes there is nothing to print, you can print the common books such as thousand-character text, but my word book should also be out of the next few volumes now, and the Yang family should also start printing, and you will still have to be busy by then."

The two of them had already arrived at the entrance of the alley as they spoke, knowing that Han Shixin still had something to do, and Liu Man'er didn't want to take up his time, so she stopped and said: "Don't send me, you go and do your business, during this time, you have all worked hard, please comfort the guys, after this batch of books is delivered, give them more hardship." ”

"Thank you, owner." Han Shixin stopped, watched Liu Man'er go away, and said in his heart, the owner is really merciful, they are all poor like this, and they still think about others.

Liu Man'er is not benevolent, no matter which dynasty or generation of people, if they have money and interests, they will win the hearts of the people, otherwise, why should others help you work, give out some bonuses, and mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, this is a multi-pronged thing.

Originally, Liu Man'er planned to go directly to the teahouse to have a look, but she didn't come out for a long time, seeing the street where people came and went, listening to the lively sound, and smelling the fragrance of the food, Liu Man'er changed her attention, just without the Korean new in the way, it was not bad to go shopping alone.

You must know that during this time, the Fang clan not only forbade her to blow the wind, but also paid great attention to eating, prohibiting spicy and heavy mouths, just drinking some clear soup and light porridge every day, and now smelling these fragrances, all the gluttonous worms in her stomach were hooked up for a while.

Looking all the way, walking and stopping, every time I see these snacks, I want to call a bowl, but I think that I am still breastfeeding, I am afraid that it will not be good for the child, so I can only smell the fragrance, swallow my saliva hard, and hold back my appetite.

I didn't eat anything along the way, but I bought a lot of gadgets, tiger head shoes, nice little clothes, and some messy gadgets and so on.

Although he has a daughter, he can't forget his little cute Tianchen, right, thinking that the family may be busy taking care of himself and Rourou these days, presumably some of them are ignoring him, Liu Man'er bought him a lot of small gifts, including candied fruit, peanut candy and other small snacks he loves to eat.

It's a little tiring to walk around, but it's not far from her own teahouse, and there happens to be a teahouse in front of her, Liu Man'er plans to go in and have a look, which can be regarded as exploring the market, anyway, these people shouldn't know who she is.

As soon as Liu Man'er walked in, a warm junior came over to greet her, "This guest officer, please come inside." ”

This teahouse also has a stage, and there happens to be a storyteller telling a story, and the story he tells happens to be the Journey to the West written by himself?

"Guest officer, what about listening to books?" Seeing Liu Man'er's serious listening, the shopkeeper smiled even more happily, and he didn't urge Liu Man'er, but said on the side: "Most of the people who come to our teahouse are here to listen to books, our storyteller here can tell stories, and the words he talks about are the most popular Journey to the West in the current county, the girl should live in the boudoir for a long time, I don't know if I have heard it?" ”

"Yes." Liu Man'er nodded, although she was infringed by others, she was not angry in her heart, and she had a hint of joy inexplicably.

Being able to hear others listen to her own story is a recognition of her in itself, but unfortunately, she writes about the same people, and theoretically she also encroached on Wu Chengen's rights and interests, so she is not angry at their behavior.

"Can I sit upstairs?" Liu Man'er asked.

"Yes, yes." As he spoke, the shopkeeper led Liu Man'er upstairs.

Liu Man'er followed him generously, people who wanted to come here wanted to listen to the story, so there were not many people on the second floor, Liu Man'er chose a window position, ordered a pot of dragon wells, and sat down.

Looking around the teahouse, the carved railings, mahogany octagonal lanterns, and all kinds of exquisite patterns are painted on the lamp surface, all antique, and the decoration is quite good. The hall where Liu Man'er is sitting is facing the staircase, and below is the stage, looking at some rooms on both sides of the staircase, which should be a private room.

I wonder if anyone is talking about something unspeakable in the box? Liu Man'er was a little curious at the moment.

Although she has good hearing, she knows that it is rude to listen to others, so she resists not to probe the secrets in the box.

While drinking tea, I watched the people coming and going downstairs and the bustling street, but there was a sense of stealing half a day's leisure.

It's been a long time since she's been so relaxed, and even though she drinks tea alone, it's not a lot of fun. It's just that she thinks of Xiao Rourou at home again, she can't sit still, she just wants to get things done quickly and go home quickly, otherwise, it will not be good to be hungry for her little cutie.

Forget it, there's no need to listen to trade secrets, people's teahouses are more high-end than their own teahouses, but it's also good to take a look, and when you have money, your own teahouse will also be upgraded according to their teahouse, no, it's better than them.

Liu Man'er looked around, and was about to stand up and leave, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw the shopkeeper leading a familiar figure to this side.

Wait, isn't that person President Chen?

Liu Man'er saw that his serious appearance at the moment was not like the usual decency, looking left and right, his face was still a little flustered, and she couldn't help but bury her head lower, with a woman's sixth sense, she subconsciously felt that there was definitely some conspiracy for this President Chen to come here.

Sure enough, not long after, two more sneaky people came up and went to the box that President Chen had just entered.

Liu Man'er sat down, summoned Xiao Er, asked him to add some hot water, and asked by the way, "Who are they, do you know each other?" It looks familiar. ”

"We have always only sold tea and don't ask for the information of the guests." The shopkeeper's face was pale, and his sense of confidentiality was good.

"It's okay, I'll just ask casually." Seeing the look of the shopkeeper, Liu Man'er smiled slightly, so she didn't ask, but changed the topic: "Hey, by the way, do you have any snacks here?" Bring me two. ”

"Okay, we have mung bean cake, osmanthus cake, peanuts, eight treasures plate......" Hearing that Liu Man'er wanted to buy snacks, the shopkeeper's face was relieved, and he became enthusiastic again, and gave Liu Man'er a lot of snack names.

"Give me a mung bean cake." Liu Man'er ordered one at random.

"Okay, wait a minute." The shopkeeper went down to prepare things, and Liu Man'er changed her position and sat down next to the railing, so that she was closer to the box and could hear more clearly.

"President Chen, shopkeeper Mo, I called you here today, mainly to discuss with you, and finally confirm it." The sound in the box was fully denied by Liu Man'er.

"Don't worry, drink tea first." Another middle-aged man's voice rang out, obviously it was the shopkeeper Mo.

"Tea, we'll drink it later, it's even more important." The man who had just spoken said.

They spoke very softly, and Liu Man'er was a little far away, if they didn't sit here, I was afraid that some words would really not be heard.

"Guest, how did you get here?" Xiao Er came over with mung bean cake and suddenly made a sound, but Liu Man'er, who was engrossed in eavesdropping, was startled.

"I listened to the story, and you scared me." Liu Man'er said angrily: "I can't hear anything from the window." ”

"You want to listen to the story, tell me earlier, do you want to change to the first floor?" The shopkeeper said that he was going to come and get the things on Liu Man'er's table.

"No, you don't." Liu Man'er stretched out her hand and said, "Don't make noise, it's good for me to sit here, there are many people on the first floor." ”

While talking, she paid attention to the movement in the box, and the shopkeeper saw that she was listening carefully, so she went down bored.

"President Chen, are you sure it's going to be done tonight?" The man asked.

"Yes, tomorrow is our delivery date, and you have them all burned today." From President Chen's words, Liu Man'er heard a hint of ruthlessness, which made her hand holding the cup tighten.

This book is clearly related to his own home.

"Why don't we steal those books out? After all, that's more than a thousand taels of silver. "Shopkeeper Mo is a little reluctant.

"Stupid, there are so many books, we have to steal them, they will definitely find out, anyway, even if they are burned, it is not our books, just let them compensate." Governor Chen said leisurely: "Haven't you always wanted to do this teahouse?" With so many books, the fire is bound to be very big at that time, and it will be difficult to extinguish it at once. ”

"As for us, if their printing shop can't deliver the goods on time, it will be a breach of contract, and we will pay double compensation, who let that Han shopkeeper rush to collect our money, and then not only will they spit out the money, but they will also transfer the printing house to us." President Chen said proudly.

"Yes, there is also that Ye shopkeeper or something, she is high and arrogant, she must have a lot of follow-up drafts in her hands, and when their teahouse can't afford to lose money, we will come out to buy her manuscripts, so that in the future, these businesses will be ours." There was a hint of a cruel smile in the words of the shopkeeper Mo.

"By the way, two brothers, is this book really so good?" At first, the voice came out, with a hint of flattery.

"Of course, but don't care, we will give you the money that should be given, as long as you get things done, your share is indispensable." President Chen said coldly.

Hearing this, if Liu Man'er didn't know that what they were discussing was related to herself, then she was really a fool.

Obviously, it's not very cold at this time, but there is a cold sweat on her back for no reason, and such a thing can also be touched by her, how lucky is she?
