The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 35
Fu Xuechen nodded towards the clerk at the door, and was still complaining about the name of the bookstore to Fu An: "It's not good to call it, it's called 'Xie's Bookstore', it's too straightforward and boring! I It seems that if this store wants to improve its operation, the first thing to do is to change the name of the store.”

Shopkeeper Liu hurried up to greet him at this time, and said respectfully, "Old slave Liu She, I have seen the young master!"

"You are the shopkeeper of the bookstore?" Fu Xuechen carefully recognized the person.

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

"You guys do what you usually have to do, and I'll go shopping by myself." Fu Xuechen waved these people to do things first, led Fu An by himself, and began to inspect the bookstore. The shopkeeper Liu She gave his nephew a wink. He waited after him, and then went to the counter to continue the accounting.

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

Different from the common layout of bookstores in later generations, the bookstore in this time and space is more like a library. Except for the stairs leading to the second floor and the counter near the door, the rest of the place is almost entirely occupied by thick and tall bookshelves. The style is still painted black, and the aisle is not wide enough. Walking in it feels indescribably oppressive.

The books on the shelf are roughly divided into five categories, classics, history, sons, collections, and miscellaneous studies. Leaving aside miscellaneous studies, just talking about "classics" is divided into five classics, and each classic is divided into different chapters because of different commentators. Versions are like the Chinese reference books of later generations. There is only one Chinese textbook for the same grade and the same semester, but because of the different authors who edited the tutorial books, different extracurricular tutorial books can be produced.

Fu Xuechen frowned and went up to the second floor to look again. The layout of the second floor was not much different from the first floor. If I had to say it was different, there seemed to be a lot more miscellaneous books on the second floor than on the first floor, that's all.

"What about the story books? Doesn't our bookstore sell story books?" Fu Xuechen couldn't help asking.

The clerk Liu Fulin hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "There are scriptures! There are! They are all piled up in the corner of the miscellaneous books shelf!" While speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the location.

Fu Xuechen was surprised: "Why are they piled up in such a hidden corner? Isn't the story book easy to sell?"

Liu Fulin scratched his head, and explained with Ai Ai's shame: "Yes! Young Master, our bookstore is small, and we can't afford the original books of Gao Ming's scripts, so we can only print some ordinary scripts, or sell some old scripts... Actually, we also had several good ones before. It’s my teacher, but three months ago, they all terminated their contracts and left.”

"Gone? Why?" Fu Xuechen frowned.

Liu Fulin was depressed: "A new bookstore opened on the street a few months ago. They mainly focus on the Chinese script, and the price is high. They have poached all the good script teachers who have been working with us in the past. For a while, we We haven't been able to find a suitable master of the new script yet."

"What about before that?" Fu Xuechen asked: "How did the scripts sell before the script masters left?"

Liu Fulin recalled with regret: "Before that, the story books actually sold well, accounting for about [-]% of the daily profit."

"Oh? The other [-]% are the classics and history collections?" Fu Xuechen was a little surprised. The shop in front of her was so deserted. She thought that the classics and history collections were not selling well. She didn't expect that the previous classics and history collections could sell for [-]% profit: "So, now it all depends on this classics and history collection. Hold on?"

Liu Fulin asked Ai Ai again: "Actually, Jingshiziji is not selling very well. Earlier, another bookstore opened in the street, specializing in Jingshiziji. It is said that it is a branch of Qilu Confucianism and Confucianism. he."

Fu Xuechen was completely speechless, no wonder his own bookstore was about to fail in business, Jingshiziji couldn't compete with the store opened by Daru, and the scripts couldn't compete with the newly opened new store focusing on scripts, selling a little bit of all kinds of books, and they didn't specialize in anything, why? Have you ever fought someone else? !
"Treasurer Liu!"

Hearing Fu Xuechen's call, Liu She hurried over: "The old slave is here! Master, please tell me?"

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

"Ah?!" The surrounding staff Liu Fulin and others were startled.

Liu She was also stunned for a few seconds, and said dumbfounded: "Young master, this bookstore, the madam has handed over to the young lady to be in charge today, are you...?"

Miss is not me?Fu Xuechen complained secretly, but could only follow the other person's thinking and ask: "Have you met the lady this morning? Did she tell you that I will temporarily manage this bookstore before she hurts her?" ?”

Liu She lowered his head to recall for a moment, then raised his head suddenly: "Yes, yes! Miss did say that if she had any orders, she would usually let the young master pass them on for her. If the young master came here today, it must be because the young lady has an idea on how to run the bookstore? "

Fu Xuechen nodded: "That's right! So don't question me. Do what I order you to do, and do what I tell you to do. If you have any doubts, listen to my orders and ask Miss afterwards. I'll ask you whatever you want, after all, I won't overstep my bounds."

"I don't dare!" Liu She hurriedly said respectfully, "Young Master, please give me the order, and this old slave will obey!"

This attitude is right!Fu Xuechen looked around the bookstore in satisfaction, wanting to find a chair to sit down first, but was speechless to find that there was not even a place to sit on the entire bookstore's upper and lower floors, including behind the counter.

never mind!Fu Xuechen wasn't bothered either, she knew that this small building actually had a backyard, where there was a shop for the guys to rest, a kitchen and a toilet, and two vacant rooms that were used as bookstores, so there must be a place to sit , but she wasn't interested in going in.

"First of all, you need to find someone to remake the signboard tomorrow. You want a black background with a gold frame, a rectangle, horizontal cursive script and larger characters, and hang it on the door outside the store. The name of the store... let's say 'Panlong Bookstore'! "

Thanks to this different historical process in time and space, the dragon and phoenix totems and the characters used are the same as those of the previous Song Dynasty and the generations before the Song Dynasty. They are shared by all people in China. It has not been like the previous Yuan Dynasty. It has been owned by the Qing Dynasty, and it became exclusive to the royal family and banned by the people, so she can be used in the name of the store aggressively, and there are many people named after the two characters of dragon and phoenix.

"Panlong Bookstore?!" Liu She and the other staff couldn't help but read the name of the new store in a low voice, feeling inexplicably, it's so imposing!
Liu She asked with admiration: "Master, what a nice name! I don't know what's so special about it?"

These days, except for the name of the shop named after the owner's surname, other shop names are not chosen randomly. Some are inscribed by celebrities, and some are auspicious names calculated by Feng Shui masters, so the shopkeeper asked this question.

Fu Xuechen just came up with it just now, if there is anything special about it, I just use it if I think it is good, but was choked up by Liu She's question, and stared at me and said: "Don't care about the particulars, first listen to my orders and finish everything .”

"Yes, yes!" Hearing this, Liu She agreed quickly, 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. Wait for her to go on.
