Chapter 41 A bookstore opens at the entrance of the college
"What did Liu Gongzi say, it is clear that you introduced us to such a big business, and we are too late to be happy!"
Without waiting for Li Youran to speak, Li Tairan responded very excitedly.
Li Youran saw that his family wanted to take over the business, so he did not refuse.
She is not stupid, she knows that Liu Zhiyuan is taking care of her business, but what is Liu Zhiyuan trying to do?
Li Youran suddenly had a bold and narcissistic idea in his head, could it be that Liu Zhiyuan was trying to figure her out?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly shook her head, Liu Zhiyuan was born in a family of eunuchs, and he was a scholar with a reputation for fame, how could he fall in love with an abandoned woman.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Li Youran fortunately didn't think about it again, anyway, he only had a few taels of silver, and he didn't want anything, and he wouldn't suffer a loss.
After Liu Zhiyuan left, Li Youran talked to his family about opening a bookstore near the academy.
The reason why she had this idea was inspired by Tian Alang. There are also many students from poor families like Tian Alang, who are diligent and hardworking.
However, not all students are Tian Ah Lang, who can be affirmed by Mr. and the college and get some financial help.
Most of them have mediocre qualifications but are unwilling to give up, they have difficulty even paying tuition fees, and they have no extra money to eat, to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Therefore, these scholars will take some book copying jobs in private to subsidize their families, but in most cases, there are not so many books to copy.
Li Youran changed his mind to open a college near the college, not only to attract business and make money, but more importantly, to provide an opportunity for poor students in the college to study and make money at the same time.
Li Youran planned to recruit students from the academy to work, of course, it was impossible for them to work in the bookstore all day, and they only needed to work for a few hours when they had free time, that is, part-time work.
Of course, there is also some work of copying books, which can be taken home by the students to do when the time comes.
"Xiaomei's idea is excellent, not only to make money, but also to help these scholars in need."
Zhao Lanzhi sighed in her heart, the same person, why is the gap so big? She only had this one-third of an acre in her heart, and she never thought of helping others.
"It's a good thing, my father and mother support you."
Li Dazhu also went to school when he was young, but his family was really poor and could not support the high tuition fees.
He knew how he felt, so after Li Youran put forward the idea, he gave strong support.
With the support and recognition of the whole family, Li Youran thought about opening the bookstore before the year and helping these students as soon as possible, so that they can also have a good year.
"Why is Brother Tang here, your legs are ......"
Early the next morning, Hua Ruyu came to help sell steamed buns, but she didn't expect Tang Lei to come with her.
Li Youran's face was surprised and surprised, it is said that Tang Lei's leg will take some time to recover.
"My legs are fine, I heard Miss Hua say that there are a lot of eyeliner on the dock, so I thought about sneaking into the dock to investigate deeply."
As he spoke, there was a burst of aroma of steamed buns, and Tang Lei took a deep breath.
"Hungry, let's taste the steamed buns." Li Youran was very eye-catching, and gave a few big buns with pure meat to Tang Lei.
"It's all hard work on the docks, and your leg hasn't fully recovered yet." Li Youran said and served Tang Lei another bowl of soup, "Do you want to wait a little longer?" ”
She thought that if there was really something wrong with this leg, she wouldn't be able to get rid of it.
Tang Lei picked up a big bun with pure meat, and when he saw Li Youran looking at his leg with a worried face, he guessed what she was thinking.
"It's okay, I'll stay here and sell you buns in the future." After Tang Lei finished speaking, he laughed, "I don't want wages, as long as the buns are full." ”
"You're embarrassed to laugh......" Li Youran looked at the empty basket, obviously filled with a full eight buns, and just sat down and didn't eat them.
Although he looked disgusted, he still turned his head and went to get a few steamed buns, but this time all the vegetarian buns were taken, after all, it was difficult to digest the meat buns if he ate too much.
"Don't worry, I've got an easy job on the docks." Tang Lei said: "Just sit and make a record of the ship." ”
It was the first time the two of them had seen each other since their last accidental kiss.
Before the meeting, Li Youran still minded this matter very much in his heart, and he didn't know how to face Tang Lei next time.
But when the two were face to face, she put the previous embarrassment behind her, as if nothing had happened, which was natural.
The sky was getting brighter, and there were more and more people buying steamed buns, so Li Youran did not accompany Tang Lei to talk, but followed Hua Ruyi to sell steamed buns.
Tang Lei sat in the store, eating steamed buns slowly, and drinking the millet porridge that he served leisurely. I thought that I would come here every morning to eat and go to the pier after eating.
Thinking about it like this, Tang Lei's heart suddenly felt very warm and hopeful.
There were already dozens of taels of silver in her hand, plus the one hundred and fifty taels of silver given by Zhao Yanshan, Li Youran could be regarded as a little rich woman with more than two hundred taels of silver.
Since he plans to open a store at the entrance of the academy, Li Youran is going to do it with a long-term plan, so he is not ambiguous in the decoration at all.
Scholars pay attention to an elegant character, so Li Youran spent a lot of money to buy decoration materials and decorate the bookstore as elegantly as possible.
The calligraphy and painting of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum are naturally indispensable, not only that, Li Youran also placed orchid grass in the store.
Different from traditional bookstores, Li Youran did not put books behind the counter, but renovated the bookstore according to the specifications of a modern library, all the books were placed on the shelves, lined up in turn, and a reading area was set up where you could read books.
Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are placed at the entrance for students to choose by themselves, as long as they settle the bill at the counter at the end.
Not only that, but students can also hang their own calligraphy and paintings on this wall.
If it is sold, it will be divided into two tiers of profits in the store. If it can't be sold within a month, the store will take down the calligraphy and paintings and return them to the students.
On the second floor, there are some more expensive books and calligraphy and paintings, where Li leisurely plans to entertain VIP customers.
With more than 200 taels of silver on his body, he went to the rent, the money for purchases, and the money for decoration, Li Youran is now back to the beginning, penniless......
"Money is a bastard, let's earn it again after we spend it!" Compared with simply making money, Li Youran likes what he is doing now, which is both meaningful and fulfilling.
"Leisurely!"
