Finally waited for Liu Man'er to come out of confinement, during this time, Han Shixin took care of the printing workshop and teahouse alone, but he was a little busy, for fear that he would not be able to do well, and many things wanted to be discussed with Liu Man'er, so on the second day of Liu Man'er's confinement, Han Shixin held a stack of account books and came to report to Liu Man'er.

Now that there is an extra child, Liu Man'er has more things to do, after feeding, she handed over the child to Fang's care, and then came to the study.

"Uncle Han, how is our business these days?" Compared with Uncle Han, Liu Man'er is also in the same hurry, although she told herself in her heart that she had Uncle Han and had nothing to worry about, but in fact, she was always a little worried.

"I'm about to talk to my boss about it." Han Shixin handed over the account in her hand, Liu Man'er slowly flipped through it, and when she saw a page on the account book, her hand turning the page stopped slightly, "It seems that our business is good during this time." ”

"It's pretty good." Han Shixin said: "The main thing is that the owner's book is well written and very popular, didn't the people from the book store come to us last time and buy 6,000 copies?" After a while, they came and bought 5,000 copies each, for a total of 60,000 copies, but this time I decided and lowered the price by another 5 cents. ”

Liu Man'er frowned when she heard this, and was about to speak, when Han Shixin said, "This time they paid the full amount." ”

"Oh." Liu Man'er nodded and said, "No wonder, anyway, you are taking care of this printing shop, and if you go more, the cheaper it will be." ”

"Well, after removing the money from labor and paper and ink, we have earned eight hundred taels in just over a month." Han Shixin said happily.

"Not bad." Liu Man'er nodded, and asked again: "Then did you deliver this batch of 60,000 books to them?" ”

"Not yet." Han Shixin shook his head and said, "But we have already printed this batch of books, and we will put them in the warehouse, waiting for them to come and pick them up." ”

"You get them to take it away as soon as possible." Liu Man'er frowned when she heard this, and felt an aura of conspiracy for no reason, so she said: "This book is no more likely to catch fire than other things, you must let people watch it closely, and you are not allowed to light the lamp when you go to the warehouse." ”

"I see." Han Shixin nodded, "I'll let them be careful." ”

After reporting this matter, Han Shixin said again: "By the way, hasn't our teahouse been open for a long time, and many booksellers are in a hurry, so I made the decision and reopened again." ”

"Hmm." Liu Man'er nodded, took the account book of the teahouse, opened it slowly, and saw that the turnover seemed to be good, she asked a little strangely: "By the way, during this time, no one came to make trouble?" ”

"Nope." Han Shixin shook his head, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and said, "Now it is estimated that no one will dare to come to our teahouse to make trouble." ”

"Why is that?" Liu Man'er looked up at him, and her eyes were very puzzled.

"It's still the owner's words are well written, even Mrs. Zhixian likes to listen to them, and when we closed the door before, I asked Feng Yongkang to tell her several times, and now occasionally she will come to our shop to listen, in this way, who dares to make trouble?" Speaking of which, Han Shixin is still quite proud.

Liu Man'er was also very happy when she heard this, and said, "Then have you set up a special seat for Mrs. Zhixian?" ”

"I redecorated it again when our teahouse was closed, and I built two private rooms."

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect Uncle Han to be so business-minded now." Liu Man'er nodded again and again, but she didn't expect Uncle Han to disappear for a month, and it was no longer Wuxia Ameng.

"The owner praised it, and I also learned slowly." Hearing Liu Man'er's praise, Uncle Han's old face felt a little red, but his heart was like a child, and he was happy because of a compliment.

"That's it, Uncle Han, we didn't earn eight hundred taels, just take one hundred taels as your hardship during this time, and after you deliver that batch of books, you will go home, see Aunt Han and them, and buy them something." Liu Man'er commanded.

"How can this be?" Uncle Han shook his head again and again, and said, "If the owner wants to reward me, it is enough for me to go home and take a look, as for the money, let's wait until the owner pays off the debt." ”

"Okay, then I'll remember it for you, I owe you a hundred taels." Liu Man'er smiled slightly, looking at Uncle Han's ideological awareness, it really made her feel ashamed of her master.

"Thank you for the reward." Uncle Han didn't shirk anymore, happily accepted Liu Man'er's verbal reward, and then handed over the money earned during this time to Liu Man'er.

Liu Man'er collected the money, and after putting it away, she still felt a little relieved, and said: "This batch of goods has not been delivered, I always feel uneasy in my heart, otherwise I will go to the printing workshop with you to have a look, I have never been there." ”

"Okay." Han Shixin also readily agreed, and said: "By the way, if the owner has written during this time, the book is almost gone, otherwise you will write some more?" ”

Liu Man shook his head after hearing this, and said: "I can write, Feng Yongkang, they said it too fast, I still have to take the children now, I really don't have much time, you let them tell the old stories from before, as for the Journey to the West and the Yang family generals I wrote, just tell them once or twice a day." ”

"Then our business will definitely be worse." Uncle Han said with some hesitation, he knew Liu Man'er's situation, but he felt a little dilemma for a while.

"That's no way, you know I'm busy all day." Liu Man'er stood up and said: "Anyway, you also have experience in opening a teahouse now, we can operate it like other teahouses, and we don't have to rely on storytelling, when we have time, buy some good tea, get more private rooms, decorate it well, and make it a high-end teahouse." ”

"yes, I see." Han Shixin naturally knows Liu Man'er's difficulties, and after thinking about it carefully, he feels that this will not necessarily affect the business, after all, most of them are ordinary people drinking tea nowadays, and they spend two yuan a day, but it is still a small number of rich people who can really make money in the teahouse.

"By the way, I asked you to check before, who instructed those little ruffians to come to our teahouse to make trouble?" Although the power of others has made her teahouse temporarily peaceful, after all, the root of the bane is still there, and Liu Man'er, the mastermind behind the scenes, still has to figure it out.

"This is also because our teahouse is too popular, so the owners of the two nearby teahouses are red-eyed, so they have joined forces to invite these ruffians to deal with us."

"And did you get revenge on them?" Liu Man'er looked up at Han Shixin.

"That's not true, anyway, we have to be forgiving and forgiving, I think that since our teahouse business has returned to normal, I won't be like them."

"Okay, but if someone comes to make trouble next time, you can't let them go so easily, at least you have to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, otherwise, others will think we are easy to bully." Liu Man'er frowned slightly, she ate this suffocation, there was no way, she had no one and no time to worry about them, I just hoped that they would not come to make trouble again, otherwise, she would not tolerate it next time.

"Well, if it's okay, then I'll go out." Han Shixin said and prepared to go.

Liu Man'er stopped him and said, "Wait, didn't I say that I would go to the printing workshop with you to have a look." ”

Liu Man'er stood up as she spoke, her serious face returned to her pleasant appearance, she walked out of the study to say hello to Fang's family, and walked outside with Han Shixin.

This printing workshop is also a small yard bought, not very far from where Liu Man'er's family lives, these days have been suffocating at home, at first glance I heard the sound of selling on the street, and there is really a feeling of being in a different world.

"By the way, Uncle Han, have you ever been to this printing workshop except for me?" Liu Man'er chatted casually with Han Shixin as she walked.

"No, how could I tell others about such a confidential matter, even President Chen and them, I didn't take them in, I just let them go to the warehouse where the books were stored."

"Oh." Liu Man'er nodded thoughtfully, but asked, "Then you mean that they know the location of our printing workshop and the location of our warehouse?" ”

Uncle Han bowed his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, the owner didn't have to worry, I used a small house behind our teahouse as a warehouse, and I didn't bring them here." ”

"You're thoughtful." Hearing Han Shixin say this, Liu Man'er's heart was a little relieved, and she felt that this Korean-style new thing is now more and more reliable.

The two chatted with each other, and soon came to the printing shop, and Han Shixin opened the door with a key and said: "In order not to disturb them, I use the lock for the front door, and they enter and exit through the back door on weekdays." ”

"Well, it's still Uncle Han who is thoughtful." Liu Man'er said and stepped into the printing workshop.

The whole printing workshop is in the form of a courtyard, although it is not big, but it is not small, and it is very neatly tied. Because it was a printed book, he was afraid that in case of water, Han Shixin dug ditches around the house, and wells were dug in front and back of the yard, so that even if the water was walked, the workers could respond in time.

Han Shixin led Liu Man'er to the backyard, some people were printing books, while others were checking the page numbers, and after checking, they were put together in order, and naturally some people would punch holes and bind them with threads.

Some people are sampled, and after Liu Man'er saw it, she felt that it was quite a bit of a modern factory, except that the clothes they wore were different, but they really looked like assembly line workers.

Seeing Han Shixin coming, there were two people who looked like they were in charge, and they hurriedly put down the things in their hands to come over, Han Shixin and Liu Man'er introduced, it turned out that these two people were the first people invited by Han Shixin, and now Han Shixin also handed over everything in this printing workshop to them.

Han Shixin introduced Liu Man'er, the big owner, and the two printing masters hurriedly wanted to salute Liu Man'er, Liu Man'er stopped them, and saw that they were all working quite seriously, she didn't say much, just looked casually, turned around and left.
