Fu Xuechen deliberately waited for the shopkeeper Liu for a while, and saw that he had finished taking notes, and then continued endlessly: "Secondly, these bookshelves, you have to find a carpenter, and remove all the excess parts above the bookshelves, whether it is sawing or cutting, for me!" The height is set at about five feet, and after the books are placed on the top floor, the height of the books cannot be higher than the head. ”

What is the rationale for this? Shopkeeper Liu was a little surprised when he heard it, and he didn't have time to ask questions, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart and brush the record order first.

Fu Xuechen didn't pause to give him the opportunity to ask questions: "Then the black paint of these bookshelves must be shoveled off and worn off, and I will be revarnished without adding any color, and the original color of the wood underneath will be retained." ”

"In addition to the three rows of bookshelves on the first floor, only two rows of bookshelves placed back to back are kept in the middle of the store, and all the excess bookshelves are removed, and a passage should be left between the wall with windows and the bookshelves on the second floor, and there are no bookshelves in the center of the store, and high-backed benches are set up to facilitate customers to rest."

Speaking of this, Fu Xuechen simply took the brush in Liu Yu's hand and gave him a rough sketch of the style of the bench on the white paper, the height of the backrest can completely separate the two people sitting with their backs facing each other, without armrests, each group can sit four to six people back to back.

"Finally......" Fu Xuechen pointed to the space above the bookshelf: "After cutting off the height of the bookshelf, hang all the mirrors on the wall for me, and hang it like a plaque, okay, for the time being, let's do it first, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Liu Yu looked puzzled, not knowing what Fu Xuechen's orders were.

In fact, Fu Xuechen's purpose is very simple, that is, to increase the brightness of the bookstore, including using light-colored bookshelves, reducing the number and height of bookshelves, giving up the position of window lattices, hanging mirrors, etc., all for this purpose, no way, the era of no electric lights is so dim.

Putting down the brush, Liu Yu's shopkeeper checked the order record from beginning to end, nothing else, the bookshelves are also ready-made, it is not difficult to change it slightly, and it can be done very well by finding two carpenters, it is this mirror......

Liu Yu hesitated a little and reminded: "Young master! Large bronze mirrors are more expensive, if you want to hang all the walls of the two-story building, the cost of this copper mirror is probably more expensive than all the carpentry work combined, and the usual maintenance is not easy, each polishing is a lot of money. ”

Is that so? Fu Xuechen also frowned, accustomed to the cheapness of mirrors in later generations, she forgot that in the current time and space, copper mirrors are not cheap, and the bigger the copper mirror, the more expensive it is.

You must know that copper is a precious metal used to make copper coins, plus polishing the copper mirror to the extent that it can identify people, and you have to pay the cost of potions and labor costs, and you have to maintain it every ten days and a half months, that is, to re-polish and hang so many copper mirrors, which is enough to offset the profit of the bookstore.

It seems that the glass still has to be taken out first, and the mirror made of glass will not need any maintenance in the later stage, even if it is broken, she will not feel distressed, and she can recycle it and re-smelt it.

Fu Xuechen was finally helpless, so he had to tell Liu Yu: "You should put the mirror thing first!" Wait for me to come to that. In addition, at about the same time tomorrow afternoon, you can call all the teachers who are still providing the manuscripts to our bookstore! Let me see. ”

Liu Yu was naturally relieved, and he should be obedient.

At this time, it was already dark, and although it was only about six o'clock in the later life, because the night was still relatively fast in early spring, the store was so dark that it was difficult to read.

The bookstore didn't say that it would be lit up at night, Fu Xuechen, as a child who was only twelve or thirteen years old, did not have the freedom to wander outside, and when he saw that everything had been explained, he ordered proofing, closed the store, and took Fu An back home.

When riding the horse away, Fu Xuechen deliberately slowed down the horse's speed, and could take a look at the facades of the other two bookstores on the way.

I have to say that my own bookstore is not only backward in business content, but also backward in the decoration of the façade, and the other two bookstores, one has a simple style and a long and elegant literati atmosphere, and one is magnificent, it looks very arrogant, and they are all red lacquer new buildings that occupy an area of two or three times, which are extraordinarily forced.

Fu Xuechen felt that if he were an ordinary book buyer, he would only choose to enter these two bookstores.

Hum! Kangzhuang Avenue can't compete, so take the side path. Fu Xuechen had a plan and was not intimidated by his competitors,

Just as he was about to hurry up and hurry home, in the dignified and atmospheric bookstore on the side of the road, several people suddenly walked out, and when they saw Fu Xuechen on the horse, they laughed and shouted: "Ouch~!" I really read that right just now, isn't this the little brother of the Fu family?! ”

Suddenly, there were a lot of laughter on the side of the road, and Fu Xuechen turned his head to see if the person in charge was not the little overlord of Guozixue who had also mocked her in the accompanying examination room earlier, and Cheng Defang, the youngest son of the Duke of Yiguo!

There were a few young men behind him, with a sarcastic look on their faces, and at first glance they were Cheng Defang's fox friends and dog friends.

"It's you!" Fu Xuechen's face turned dark, and he unconsciously stopped the horse, and began to think about the feasibility of kicking people on the horse.

"What? Want to fight? Cheng Defang saw that her face was not safe, and he was not afraid at all, but straightened his chest and took two steps forward: "Then you come down!" Now that the master is free, we can compare. ”

Fu Xuechen rolled his eyes and looked up at the bookhouse: "Shangjing No. 1 Bookhouse, you came here to buy a book?" ”

Cheng Defang smiled: "What's wrong?" Do you want to file a complaint with Mr. again? Unfortunately, no! This is my Cheng's library, I brought my friends over to have a look, and in the future, classmates can buy any books in my library, you can get a nine-percent discount, but, excluding you! ”

"Oh! This turned out to be your family's library! Fu Xuechen couldn't help laughing: "That's really sorry!" I'm afraid I'll have to let you know in advance and move out of this street as soon as possible!" I'm afraid that your library will be in a bad state soon! ”

Cheng Defang was stunned for a moment, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Are you threatening me?" Do you really think that you have recently climbed to the Six Princes, and you can do whatever you want? You dare to touch a single hair of my library! ”

"Sure enough, villains are accustomed to measuring gentlemen with the heart of villains, and they are black from head to toe, so they always feel that others are also generally black!" Fu Xuechen sneered: "Don't take your violence on others, even if I want to let your family library go out of business, there is no need for conspiracy." ”

"What do you mean?" Cheng Defang was annoyed, he didn't know, when did Fu Yuchen suddenly become so sharp-tongued?

"It's fair competition in business! I can suppress your bookstore business with only commercial means, so just wait! Fu Xuechen snorted coldly and dropped these words, and then beat the horse and left.

"Huh?" Cheng Defang was still puzzled.

However, one of his fox friends was more well-informed, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the Xie bookstore at the end of the street and said, "That...... As far as I know, the Xie bookstore over there should be opened by Fu Yuchen's house, and that bookstore is much worse than the bookstore of our big brother Cheng's house! ”

"That bookstore belongs to his?!" Cheng Defang was stunned, hahaha burst into laughter: "No wonder he said that he wanted to use business means to destroy my library!" Hahahaha! How is this possible! His bookstore was dilapidated and small, deserted for months, and it was about to close down! ”

Cheng Defang was about to laugh like a bent shrimp when he held his stomach, and a group of fox friends and dog friends also laughed, laughing at Fu Xuechen's "cruel words", and they all felt that Fu Xuechen was running away from the wilderness, and he couldn't get over his face, so he just casually threw two sentences of the scene.
