Chapter 211: Prenatal Anxiety Disorder
In the past few days, because the teahouse has closed, no one has urged her to ask for a book, and she is a lot more relaxed, after all, the storyteller is always faster than the person who writes the book.
Although during the Chinese New Year, she thought that each book would be said twice a day, and the ones she wrote could be talked about for three or five months, but she really underestimated everyone's enthusiasm, just this month, the manuscripts she wrote were almost bottomed out, which is why someone made trouble, she didn't want to do anything but closed the door directly, mainly to take this opportunity to rest for a while and save some manuscripts.
Anyway, if there is no script, her teahouse will be closed, so it is better to take this opportunity to close it for two days, and at the same time, taking advantage of these two days, she asked Li Yongwen and Feng Yongkang to sort out some scripts, so that they can talk together when the time comes, otherwise, she can't be busy with ten hands just by relying on her.
At first, I was excited to open a teahouse, but now the problem is to give her a blow, this teahouse is temporarily open this one, even if there is no fresh book, her teahouse will slowly become no different from other teahouses, and she can only make a little money for a long time, obviously this is not what she wants.
What can really make money is her printing workshop, now everyone doesn't know that this is movable type printing, they think she is engraving printing, but in fact, her printing workshop is much faster than others imagined.
Today's books are expensive and all by hand, but if you copy them by hand, there will inevitably be mistakes and omissions, and there will be a few mistakes and omissions in each book, and in the back, the mistakes are even more outrageous.
In the case of movable type printing, although there will be errors and omissions, as long as the first time is carefully checked, there will be almost no mistakes and omissions in the back, and when the time comes, in addition to printing these words, you can also print some poetry magazines, newspapers and periodicals, etc., and you will not worry about finding a way out.
Anyway, printing, maybe there will be some people who ask Liu Man'er to help print their own books and periodicals at their own expense, if it really doesn't work, it's not bad to print the most circulated thousand-character text and hundreds of family names, at least it's better than copying books, don't worry about not making money.
After thinking about the tone of the future, Liu Man'er didn't worry about anything, and as for President Chen and the others who wanted to buy books from her, they also came to the door three days later.
This time, Liu Man'er didn't give them a chance to bargain, and said to Han Shixin very hardly: "Directly thirty wen a book, less than this price to negotiate." ”
In other words, if they still want to bargain, she won't bother to see it.
Maybe people have such cheap bones, the more she said that she didn't want to meet, the more these people wanted to see her, and in the end, Han Shixin had no way, so he brought President Chen and others over.
When Liu Man'er saw them coming, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, this is the buyer's market and the seller's market. At the beginning, it was a buying market, I begged you, you ignored me, these are sellers' markets, and it is your turn to beg us.
"President Chen, don't come unharmed?" Seeing that Han Shixin had already led President Chen into the door, Liu Man'er put away her smile and sat upright.
"The old man has been feeling unwell these days." President Chen sat down half-jokingly and half-seriously, and said, "I also hope that Shopkeeper Ye will be convenient." ”
"If President Chen has something to say, please say it directly, don't beat around the bush again, if you want to buy our books, just tell the shopkeeper Han, he is in charge of the printing workshop, he will help you with anything, what convenience will I give you a little woman?" Liu Man'er is a lazy person, and she really doesn't want to talk to them anymore.
This time, she didn't wear a veil, her face was already showing a trace of impatience, and President Chen's old fritters had to put away those polite words, and said directly: "That's the case, this time we plan to buy a thousand copies per volume, I have read your book, and it has already been written in the third volume, right?" ”
"Your message is a bit old, I've already written it to the sixth volume." Liu Man'er said: "If you want it, it will be 6,000 copies, Uncle Han will calculate the accounts for them, 30 wen a book, how much does 6,000 copies cost, pay the money directly, sign the contract, set the delivery date, and then deliver the goods, don't come to me for a little thing, these twists and turns Uncle Han bothers you to discuss with them outside, don't bother me." ”
I'm not a salesman, I'm a chairman even now, you guys are always looking for me to say what to do, I'm just about to rest, and I'm going to bother me with this little thing.
Hearing her tone, it was already very unhappy, and Han Shixin had no choice, after reading the words of President Chen and the others, he shook his head helplessly, and said to Liu Man'er: "Dongjia, we just talked outside, and they want to buy it for twenty yuan." ”
"How is this possible? How difficult it is for us to do this, didn't you tell President Chen? Or was what I said that day not clear enough, why did you come to me for this little thing? It is impossible to write twenty texts in one book! Liu Man'er turned her face directly:
"One by one, when I'm here in the vegetable market, I have nothing to do and come over to bargain, I'm not selling pork, I'm running a printing shop, the price is clearly marked, and the children are not bullied, what do they want?"
Just looked like a very gentle woman, and suddenly inexplicably scolded like a shrew, which really made people feel a little inexplicable, although she was scolding Han Shixin, but she pointed out that she really meant Sang and scolded Huai, which made the faces of President Chen and others a little unbearable.
The problem is that after Liu Man'er finished scolding, she instantly calmed down again, and apologized very sincerely to President Chen and others: "I'm sorry, I'm too emotional, don't mind." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." President Chen and others are selling books, and they still need to have a little face.
Liu Man'er really doesn't know why she suddenly wants to scold just now, she is really tired of these old guys, all of them are neurotic, how can she have so many things to consume with them, I really want to say: Buy it, buy it, don't buy it!
"I still say the same thing, every inch of time is an inch of gold, time is money, what big things can be achieved if you procrastinate!" After stabbing them twice, Liu Man'er said to Uncle Han: "Okay, Uncle Han, you take President Chen and the others to the front hall to entertain, I don't entertain guests, these things are trivial, I believe you can handle it, right?" ”
"The little one knows." Uncle Han had never seen Liu Man'er look like this, obviously it was normal one moment ago, and the next moment it was like a volcano erupting, seeing her slightly angry look, he didn't know what else to say, so he hurriedly said two words of apology to President Chen and the others, and he didn't dare to be an eyesore in front of Liu Man'er, so he took them to the front hall to discuss.
After they left, Liu Man'er slowly calmed down, she didn't know why she was suddenly angry, maybe it was prenatal anxiety, Liu Man'er felt that she would be easily irritated now.
Putting down the pen, she walked out of the door, planning to relax, during this time, she stayed in the study almost every day, it was really almost suffocating, but this turn was to go around in this courtyard, if she went out, Fang Shi would not let her, for fear of being collided, she was also a little worried.
"Mistress, do you have anything to worry about?" Seeing her standing alone on the side of the road looking at these flowers and plants in a daze, Yun Niang walked over from behind.
"Just call me Man'er." Yun Niang is the embroidery girl in the family, and she didn't sell herself to her, maybe she will be her sister-in-law, Liu Man'er still respects her.
"Okay, Man'er, I just heard you scolding those book shopkeepers, did something happen?"
Yun Niang's soft words were like a drizzle, which penetrated into Liu Man'er's heart, which soothed Liu Man'er's heart a lot, she pursed her lips and said: "It's okay, it's me who is too rude, I am very annoyed when I hear that they want to bargain with me and Rory is verbose." ”
"You've been pretending to be too much lately, and you're under too much pressure." Yun Niang walked to her side, helped her to sit down on the stone pier in the courtyard, and said, "Don't think too much, keep a good mood, the most important thing is to give birth to the child." ”
"Hmm." Liu Man'er nodded, and said: "It's all Uncle Han, I can't do a little thing to explain to him, I always have to ask me, I'm really annoyed, I was already on the due date, and I didn't dare to be born because of them." ”
Hearing Liu Man'er's words, Yun Niang couldn't help but laugh, covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Actually, Uncle Han has done a very good job, after all, he used to be just a small steward, even if he was the shopkeeper of the restaurant before, but at that time, after all, there was the help of the Yan family, and he didn't have to use his brain, even if he settled the account, but now it's different, Uncle Han is also working hard." ”
"I know he's working hard, so I just complain casually." Liu Man'er sighed, she has to carry a lot of things in this family now, she can't tell anyone, in fact, she is also very annoyed in her heart, she is pregnant with a child, the child's father does not know whether to live or die, she also has to bear huge debts, take care of the family, why is she so unlucky.
"Boss, I've finally found you." The two were talking, Han Shixin ran over sweating profusely, Liu Man'er turned her head when she heard the voice, sighed faintly, and her eyes were complaining, "What's the matter?" ”
Seeing Liu Man'er's resentful eyes, Han Shixin shuddered inexplicably, and hurriedly lowered his head and got down to business: "President Chen, they said that twenty-five yuan a copy, and a one-time order of six thousand copies, can we sell it?" ”
Liu Man'er didn't want to sell it, but she really didn't have the mood to bargain with them anymore, so she could only nod and say weakly: "Sell." There are just a few points I want to explain to you:
First, I'm going to give birth in the next few days, I want to take a break, you have something to do, watch and deal with it yourself, don't bother me; Second, the contract should be carefully read, don't let them take advantage of loopholes, let them pay the money first, at least half of the deposit; Third, the matter of the printing workshop, the recruitment will recruit people, but still have to pay attention to confidentiality, when printing, the printing embryo must be carefully checked, typesetting must also be careful, specially set up two random inspection people, to avoid string pages, errors and omissions. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing Liu Man'er's tired look, Han Shixin was embarrassed to disturb her again, and after carefully noting these points, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and strode away.
Liu Man'er also breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer cared about these business matters, but asked Yun Niang: "Yun Niang, do you know that my mother contacted Wen Po for me?" ”
