Fu Xuechen nodded towards the guy at the door, and was still complaining to Fu An about the name of this bookstore: "What's the name, it's called 'Xie's Bookstore', it's too straightforward and boring!" I think that if this store wants to improve its operation, the first thing is to change the name of the store. ”

Shopkeeper Liu had already hurriedly greeted him at this time, and said respectfully: "Old slave Liu Yu, I have seen the young master!" ”

"You're the bookstore keeper?" Fu Xuechen carefully recognized the person.

"Yes!" Liu Yu responded, and called Liu Fulin and other four shop guys to introduce and greet Fu Xuechen together.

"You can do whatever you have to do, and I'll go around by myself." Fu Xuechen waved his hand to let these people go to work first, led Fu An by himself, and began to inspect the bookstore, Liu Yu's shopkeeper gave his nephew a look and asked him to wait behind, and then went to the counter to continue to take inventory.

Fu Xuechen didn't care about people's eyes, but observed the store from the perspective of an ordinary customer.

Different from the common bookstore layout in later generations, the bookstores in this time and space are more like libraries, except for the staircase leading to the second floor and the counter near the door, the rest of the place is almost all occupied by heavy and tall bookshelves, the bookshelves are all the style of the cabinets above the shelves and below, and the black paint is also on them, and the passage is not wide, walking in it, I feel indescribably depressing.

The books on the shelves are roughly divided into five categories, classics, history, sub-classics, collections, and miscellaneous studies, not to mention miscellaneous studies, just talking about "classics", they are divided into five classics, and each scripture is divided into different editions because of different commentators, just like the language reference books of later generations, the same grade and the same semester of the Chinese textbook, but because of the different authors of the tutorial books, they can come up with a thousand different extracurricular tutorial books.

Fu Xuechen frowned and went up to the second floor to take a look, the layout of the second floor is not much different from the first floor, if you have to say that it is different, it is probably that there are many more miscellaneous books on the second floor than on the first floor, that's all.

"Where's the script? Don't we have a bookstore to sell books? Fu Xuechen couldn't help but ask.

Guy Liu Fulin hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "There is a script!" Some! It's all piled up in the corner of the miscellaneous bookshelf! As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the location.

Fu Xuechen was surprised: "Why are you piled up in such a hidden corner?" Isn't it easy to sell? ”

Liu Fulin scratched his head, and Ai Ai was ashamed to explain: "Yes! Master, our bookstore is small, and we can't afford to ask for the original book of Gao Ming's words, so we can only print some ordinary books, or sell some old books...... In fact, we also had several good teachers, but they all terminated their contracts three months ago. ”

"Gone? Why? Fu Xuechen frowned.

Liu Fulin was depressed: "A few months ago, a new bookstore was opened on the street, they focused on the book, the price was high, and the good book master who had been cooperating with us in the past was poached by them, and for a while, we have not been able to find a suitable new book master." ”

"And before that?" Fu Xuechen asked: "When these script masters haven't left, how are the scripts selling?" ”

Liu Fulin recalled, quite regretful: "Before that, the script actually sold well, accounting for about 40% of the daily profit. ”

"Oh? The other sixty percent is a subset of the scriptures? Fu Xuechen was a little surprised, the store in front of her was so deserted, she thought that the subset of scriptures and histories was not selling well, but she didn't expect that the former subset of scriptures and histories could be sold for sixty percent of the profit: "So, now it's all supported by this subset of scriptures?" ”

Liu Fulin also looked forward to Ai Ai: "In fact, the subset of the history is not very popular, and another bookstore was opened in the street earlier, specializing in the subset of the history of the classics, it is said that it is a branch of the Confucian family of Qilu and Confucius, with its own prosperous literary atmosphere, let's ...... We really can't sell him. ”

Fu Xuechen was completely speechless, no wonder his own bookstore was about to run out of business, the subset of scripture and history couldn't compete with the store opened by the Great Confucian, and the script couldn't compete with the newly opened new store with the main book, selling a little bit of everything, and not specializing in anything, how could he fight others? !

"Shopkeeper Liu!"

Hearing Fu Xuechen's call, Liu Yu hurriedly ran over: "The old slave is here!" Young master, please command? ”

Fu Xuechen didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "From today onwards, the bookstore will be closed temporarily!" Reopened after rectification. ”

"Huh?!" The surrounding guys, Liu Fulin and others, were startled.

Liu Yu was also stunned for a few seconds, and said dumbfounded: "Young master, this bookstore, Mrs. handed over to Miss to be in charge today, ...... are you?" ”

Isn't that me, Miss? Fu Xuechen complained secretly, but he could only follow the other party's thinking and ask, "Have you seen Miss this morning?" Did she tell you that this book shop would let me take care of it until she was healed? ”

Liu Yu lowered his head and recalled for a moment, and suddenly raised his head: "Yes, yes!" Miss did say that if she had any instructions, she would usually ask the young master to convey them on her behalf, so the young master came over today, presumably because the young lady had an idea about how to run this bookstore? ”

Fu Xuechen nodded: "That's right!" So don't question me, do what I order you to do, do what you want, let you do what you do, if you have any doubts, you listen to my instructions, and ask Miss afterwards, I will ask whatever you want, in the end, I will not overstep my bounds. ”

"The old slave doesn't dare!" Liu Yu hurriedly said respectfully: "Young master, please give orders, the old slaves and others will definitely obey!" ”

That's the right attitude! Fu Xuechen glanced around the bookstore with satisfaction, wanting to find a chair to sit down first, but found speechlessly that there was no place to sit on the upper and lower floors of the entire bookstore, including behind the counter.

Never mind! Fu Xuechen didn't bother, she knew that this small building actually had a backyard, where there were shops for the guys to rest, as well as a kitchen and toilet, and there were two empty rooms that didn't live in people, serving as a storeroom for the bookstore, there must be a place to sit, but she wasn't interested in going in.

"First of all, you will find someone to remake the signboard tomorrow, and it will be framed with gold characters on a black background, rectangular, horizontal cursive, and the words should be larger, and hang it on the door outside the store, and the name of the store will ...... Let's go to the 'Panlong Book House'! ”

"Panlong Book House?!" Liu Yu and a few guys couldn't help but whisper the name of the new store, and inexplicably felt that it was so imposing!

Liu Yu asked with admiration: "Young master, this name is really good!" I don't know what is important about this? ”

In these years, except for the name of the store named after the owner's surname, the other store names are not arbitrary, some are inscriptions by celebrities, and some are auspicious names calculated by feng shui masters.

Fu Xuechen just came up with it, where is there anything important, he thinks it is good and uses it, he was choked by Liu Yu's question, and glared: "You don't care about what you are particular about, first listen to my instructions and finish everything." ”

"Yes, yes!" When Liu Yu heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and seeing that Fu Xuechen had a lot of things to order, he simply took a pen and paper from the counter, first quickly wrote down Fu Xuechen's request for remaking the signboard, and then looked up and waited for her to continue.
