Chapter 223: The Merchant

Speaking of which, she remembered the four famous novels, and she had read the other three, but she only read them once, and she didn't remember them very clearly, and she felt that although these books were masterpieces, if she wanted to make a lot of money and attract everyone's attention, she still needed these fast-paced books that were appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar.

While writing, she couldn't help but feel a little feeling in her heart, I don't know if the people of today will be like the people of later generations, because of reading these words, and give birth to a martial arts dream.

Speaking of which, now that she has changed from a copyist to a book-movers, Liu Man'er is writing while thinking about how long it will take to finish writing this book, and if you calculate the speed, it will take two days.

She signed the name of the original author of the previous two books, but she wrote more and more books in the future, and it would be inappropriate if there was no unified pen name, so after thinking about it, she turned to the title page and wrote the word "book movers", and in the future, as long as it was a book that was moved to future generations, she would use this pen name.

Her pen name is also telling herself, don't swell, all her books are someone else's, she just plays the role of a book mover, presenting the wonderful stories of later generations to everyone, and also getting a little money for herself by the way.

"Sister, you wrote this book so quickly." The grass was watching from the sidelines, and they all felt that they couldn't keep up with Liu Man'er's speed.

"Are you watching?" Liu Man'er looked up at the grass.

"Hmm." Cao'er lowered her head and said while grinding the ink: "My sister wrote too fast, I didn't even read it clearly, and I don't know some words very well." ”

"I wrote sloppily, when the time comes, you will read it when Ye Feng has transcribed it, if there are words you don't know, you can ask Fusheng, he has been reading for a year, and he should know more words than you."

"Okay." Cao'er nodded and continued with the work at hand.

After a while, Han Shixin walked in, and he saw that Liu Man'er was diligently writing a script, and it was really a little difficult to disturb, thinking that those merchants were waiting, he coughed lightly.

"Ah, Uncle Han is here." Cao'er saw him and reminded Liu Man'er loudly.

"Mistress, Miss Cao'er." Han Shixin made a salute, and Liu Man'er knew that Han Xinlai must have something to look for her, so she put down her pen and said, "Is there anything wrong?" Uncle Han. ”

"A few outsiders came, claiming to be businessmen from other places, and came to talk to us about cooperation." Han Shixin said briefly, and Liu Man'er smiled knowingly and stood up, "They finally came to you?" ”

"Finally?" Han Shixin grasped the key point in Liu Man'er's words.

Liu Man'er smiled even deeper, "These are the details, where are they now?" ”

"I settled them in the teahouse." A new Korean answer.

"I'll take you to see." Liu Man'er said and said to Cao'er, "I'll go out first, you can practice calligraphy or embroidery alone." ”

"Sister, you can go with confidence." Cao'er nodded, Liu Man'er also smiled at her, and then said hello to Fang's family, coaxed Ye Tianchen, hugged Rourou, and then reluctantly let go of her hand and walked outside with Han Shixin.

Along the way, Han Shixin introduced Liu Man'er to those merchants, Liu Man'er nodded, and she already knew their intentions in her heart.

She felt that if she could really get in touch with these merchants this time, it would also be an opportunity for her, these merchants who traveled from the south to the north were best at transporting goods from the east to the west to sell, and transporting goods from the south to the north, maybe in the future, in addition to selling books, she would have other cooperation with them.

However, these things are uncertain, and the world is unpredictable, so it is better to deal with the things in front of you first.

Thinking like this, the two came to the door of the teahouse, and when they walked into the teahouse, the group of merchants were listening to the story quite seriously, and they didn't even notice that Liu Man'er and the two had come.

Liu Man'er didn't urge, so she accompanied them to listen to these words, and by the way, she cheered Li Yongwen, until Li Yongwen was gone, and these unfinished businessmen discovered Liu Man'er and Han Shixin.

"Shopkeeper Han, why are you here, and I won't remind you." Xiang turned his head to the shopkeeper and saw Han Shixin, and he was also a little apologetic, "I've kept you waiting for a long time, this storyteller said it so well, and I was fascinated for a while." ”

"Out of the way, we're just here." Han Shixin didn't mind, and said, "Let's talk about what you just said." ”

"Okay." Xiang shopkeeper and others were also anxious, so they obediently went inside with the Korean style.

When they arrived in the hall in the backyard, after Han Shixin invited everyone to sit down, he introduced Liu Man'er to the shopkeeper and others, and said, "Everyone, this is my owner, Ye Shopkeeper." ”

"This is to the shopkeeper." The Korean style is new and introduced to Liu Man'er.

Liu Man'er ignored the surprise in the eyes of the shopkeeper and the others, and saluted with fists, "To the shopkeeper." ”

"Shopkeeper Ye." Seeing that Liu Man'er was so generous, he looked ashamed to the shopkeeper and others, they walked the rivers and lakes, what haven't they seen? It's just a female shopkeeper, and I feel surprised, which is really inappropriate.

In fact, it's no wonder that they are, mainly because the girl in front of them looks too young, and her appearance is quite feminine, with snow-white skin, bright eyes and bright teeth, and even her voice has a kind of gentleness unique to southern people, and the appearance of a small jasper family really doesn't look like a businessman.

After the guys in the store came up for tea, Liu Man'er took a sip before saying, "I heard that the shopkeeper Xiang came to talk to me about business, right?" ”

"Yes." He nodded to the shopkeeper.

Liu Man'er said: "I am a woman, I am not very good at business, and I don't like to beat around the bush, please tell the shopkeeper if you have anything to say." ”

"Shopkeeper Ye is really a straightforward person." Xiang was surprised that Liu Man'er didn't even say a word of nonsense, so he went straight to the point, but they have always been cheerful people, and Liu Man'er's straightforwardness was exactly what they wanted, so he also said bluntly:

"Since Shopkeeper Ye has said so, then I'll be blunt, I heard that Shopkeeper Liu has opened a printing shop, specializing in printing these fashionable books?"

"Hmm." Liu Man'er nodded, "What I am printing now is some of the words I wrote. ”

"A notebook of words you wrote?" Xiang frowned at the shopkeeper.

"That's right, now the Journey to the West and the Yang family will be on fire in this county, which are written by our host." Han Shixin said on the side.

"This turned out to be written by Shopkeeper Ye?" Hearing this, Xiang felt a little incredible, and he didn't expect that this soft woman in front of him would have such a delicate heart.

He has read the first six volumes of this story, and it is indeed very touching, those feelings and love are from the hands of a girl, and it is normal, but he really can't believe that this Yang family general is also from the hands of this girl.

"Yes." Liu Man'er nodded, although she was just a book mover, but in the face of these people, she didn't need to be arrogant.

"Shopkeeper Ye is really powerful, I can't wait for it." Xiang said to the shopkeeper from the bottom of his heart.

"Where can I compare to the shopkeeper, but I am bored in the boudoir and yearn for the outside world, so I use words as wings and fly to this river and mountain to see it everywhere instead of me."

"Shopkeeper Ye has good ambitions." After listening to Liu Man'er's words to the shopkeeper, he also sighed a little, after all, in this dynasty, women do have too many difficulties, but the weak woman in front of her, although she is not a big hero, but what she said gives people a feeling that women do not let their eyebrows go.

"Since these words are written by the shopkeeper Ye, then it is easy to say, in fact, we came this time to buy the first six volumes of Journey to the West." He glanced at the shopkeeper and his two companions, and said.

"How much?" Liu Man'er asked.

"One kind of 10,000 copies, a total of 60,000 copies." Answer to the shopkeeper.

"Yes." Liu Man'er nodded and said, "When will you ask the shopkeeper?" ”

"The sooner the better." Said to the shopkeeper.

Liu Man'er looked at Han Shixin: "Uncle Han, if our printing workshop wants to print so many books, how many days will it take at the earliest?" ”

"It will take half a month at the earliest." A new Korean answer.

"Half a month is too slow, and we can't stay here for too long." Xiang shopkeeper and others said.

"Otherwise, Uncle Han, you have to think of a way to see if there is a way to print 30,000 copies in seven days." Liu Man'er said with Han Shixin.

"This ......" Han Shixin hesitated, in fact, this is no problem at all, he actually still has a lot of inventory, "Yes!" ”

"Okay." Hearing Han Shixin's words, he nodded to the shopkeeper and said, "In that case, then we will come to pick up the goods in seven days." ”

"Well, but the price is clear to the shopkeeper? And we're asking for cash here. Talking about money hurts feelings, but in business, she doesn't feel anything, it's good to make it clear, so as not to have any disputes.

"The first cooperation, shopkeeper Ye will make a price." Said to the shopkeeper.

"One thousand taels of silver." Liu Man'er said: "Originally, a book in our printing workshop costs forty yuan, but looking at the shopkeeper is also a refreshing person, 30,000 copies, 1,000 taels is feasible?" ”

"Yes." Before, the price that President Chen gave them was forty wen a copy, but he didn't expect that now that he has found the main owner, it is cheaper.

"Okay, then let's sign the contract, and in seven days, we can pick up the goods from the shopkeeper here."

Everything was negotiated, the contract was signed in black and white, and everyone present pressed their handprints on the paper, and then said to the shopkeeper that they had handed over the silver ticket.

Liu Man'er checked it in front of them, and after making sure that there was no problem, she put the silver ticket in her arms and invited them to the restaurant for a meal, and the matter was done.

On the way home, Han Shixin still couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and said: "I didn't expect that this printing is really making money, or the owner is smart, and it is really like a god." ”

Liu Man'er smiled slightly, took out two silver tickets to Han Shixin, and said: "Let your people be serious and diligent, and give bonuses to those who should be paid. ”
