Chapter 70: Plans
The festival has passed. The weather is getting warmer and warmer.
On the first day of the fourth month, Jiang Zhixia went to Zhucuilou to hand in the drawings, and when he went home with the bonus silver ticket and put it in the small box, looking at the silver ticket of five or six thousand taels, Jiang Zhixia finally decided that he couldn't do nothing anymore.
Yes, nothing!
I only draw a few days a month, and although the drawings are becoming more and more difficult to draw, and the time for ideation is increasing, it does not take up a whole month.
It's time to paint the house, and it's time to get a new one.
If you continue to toss around, it is time to change houses.
Jiang Zhixia also had the idea of changing to a bigger house. Later, after thinking about it carefully, I gave up.
She's just alone, why is she changing to such a big house? If you change to a big house, you have to buy someone to take care of the home and do housework, which is not troublesome enough. Now, this house is warm and simple, how wonderful.
However, she can't stand it anymore.
After all, Zhixia had been studying for more than 20 years in his previous life, learned so much knowledge, and understood so many truths. Later, after working for so long, how can she barely be regarded as an independent professional woman.
What's the matter, in this life, you have to stay at home and play with nothing to do?
The point is, there's really nothing fun at home, and it's about to die of boredom. There are no mobile phones, no computers, no comics, and even novels----- just the books sold on the market, the same routines, Zhixia feels that he can write it with his eyes closed.
Zhixia, who was really bored, thought about it, and still had to find a job to do. Whether she earns money or not, at least she can pass the time and give her something to do.
Hey, this is the life of the young lady's body.
So, from the next day, Jiang Zhixia wore a hat and led Xiao Man to wander around the street, looking for a living.
On this day, Jiang Zhixia took Xiao Man to the source of gossip ---- teahouse.
"The Chen's pen and ink shop on Feng'an Street is closed. said that the owner of the shop was going back to his hometown. A Xiucai wearing a gray robe and a square scarf of the same color said regretfully.
"Really? His pen and ink are okay. Another Xiucai in a blue robe also said regretfully, "The quality is good, and the price is quite affordable, why is it closed?" ”
"That's it." The gray caftan Xiucai sighed after the pen and ink shop closed, and then talked about the others, "An Ji Bookstore has a new book, saying that it is an article passed down by Prime Minister Liu Cheng back then. It was copied by one of Prime Minister Liu's disciples. ”
"What kind of book?" Xiucai in the blue robe asked with interest.
Liu Cheng is quite a champion, and his articles have been read by many people.
So, these two talents chatted about this book about the content of the imperial examination with great interest.
Jiang Zhixia smiled.
Otherwise, how could she say that the teahouse is a place of gossip and a source of inspiration for her.
You see, just such gossip news, once summarized, can always make people find ideas.
"Xiao Man, go home." Jiang Zhixia called his buddies to settle the tea money and snack money.
Because he was in a particularly good mood, Zhixia also rewarded the guy with a few copper plates as a tip, which provoked the guy to thank him vigorously.
"Ah, don't you wait until it gets dark today?" Xiao Man stood up in surprise and walked out with Zhixia.
In recent days, Jiang Zhixia has always taken Xiaoman to wander around Feng'an Street in the morning, and in the afternoon in the teahouse, order a pot of tea, a few plates of snacks, and sit until dark.
Xiao Man asked, and Zhixia said that he was looking for inspiration.
Xiao Man asked again, and Zhixia said that he was looking for a living.
Hearing this, Xiao Man didn't dare to ask more. Needless to say, no one cares about the lack of money.
"Well, go home. Girl, I've found my livelihood. Jiang Zhixia Zhi said proudly and walked home.
When Jiang Zhixia returned home, he waved Xiao Man away, took a pen and began to write and draw on paper.
Why did you forget about this? You can open a bookstore. It may be said that it is a bookstore, a drink shop, and a stationery store.
In his previous life, Jiang Zhixia wanted to open his own shop, selling books and reading books here, and selling flowers there. It's a pity that there is no money...
She has also applied for a membership card several times in a chain bookstore.
Spend money on a drink or pastry and you can have a seat in the café. This seat is unlimited for hours, and you can also go to the bookstore to pick up a variety of books. Of course, if you haven't finished reading a book, you can buy it and read it at home.
Nowadays, in this dynasty, all aspects are still divided into more detailed, selling books is selling books, selling pen and ink is selling pen and ink, selling drinks---- uh, there is no place to sell drinks here, they are all wine sold in wine shops plus all kinds of fruit drinks.
In short, they are all sold separately, and there is no place for comprehensive sales.
Jiang Zhixia wants to open a modern bookstore. You can sell books, you can sell pen and ink, you can borrow books to read, you can sell tea, in short, it is a place where you don't need to run out to buy things when you come in.
Once you have the idea, it's time to start planning.
The first thing is to find a shop.
I just heard the scholar say that there is a pen and ink shop on Feng'an Street that is closed, I don't know if the shop is big or small? Is it to sell or rent? It is better to sell. If you rent it, if she does it and someone comes to collect the shop, it will really be a wedding dress for others. There are such things in modern society, let alone ancient times. If the shops on Feng'an Street are not suitable, you can also go to both the North and South Corners to find shops. Of course, the best on Feng'an Street is close to home.
Secondly, it should be well decorated.
When decorating, it is necessary to distinguish each area clearly. A place that specializes in selling books, a place that specializes in lending books, a place that specializes in drinking tea and reading books, and a place that specializes in selling pen and ink. This needs to be designed well after buying a shop.
Uh, this business has started, I guess some people will be blushing, right? Is that a way to give grace to students? The current students will not be able to become officials in the future. A little kindness, needless to say, is it okay to be a little blessed, right?
Although there is now the blessing of the Mighty Marquis Mansion and Zhu Cuilou, wouldn't it be better to have a double layer of protection?
What's more, if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.
She is alone in this world, and for money, she just wanted to live at first. Inadvertently, selling patterns made her rich. Now, Zhu Cuilou has opened another branch, and there will be a lot of dividends in the future.
So, now that she has money, can she do something meaningful and enjoyable?
Then add a place where poor students can copy books and sell them. Asking poor students to copy books in bookstores can give them money, or let them exchange pens or books? Let's think about how to do this when the time comes. To be gracious, it must not hurt the self-esteem of others. Well, some literati's hearts are smaller than the eye of a needle, don't do it at that time, good things are not done, but people will hold grudges.
However, it is definitely not possible to read books for free and send money directly. Be gracious, but don't be too gracious.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying: Ascend Mien, fight Mi Hatred.
If the favor is too much, the one who receives the favor will not be able to repay it. After a long time, some people are not only ungrateful, but form pressure and resentment. In my previous life, I watched this kind of thing too much in books and on TV.
Again, find someone.
Find an experienced shopkeeper. It's okay to say that the shopkeeper must find a good one. It's good to be like the shopkeeper Xu. It's a pity that you can't find talents.
There is also the need to find suppliers. Be sure to choose a supplier with good quality and integrity. This is indeed a difficult task. It seems that I have to go out and gather information often.
Now I really don't have anything but money.
After Jiang Zhixia muttered to himself, he suddenly laughed, "Good Versailles." ”
