Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 223
Speaking of which, she only remembers the four great classics, Journey to the West, and she has read the other three, but she just swallowed them, and she doesn't remember them very well. If you want to make a lot of money and attract everyone's attention, you still need these fast-paced books that appeal to both refined and popular tastes.

As she was writing, she couldn't help feeling a little bit in her heart, wondering whether people today would be the same as people in later generations, because of reading these scripts, they had a dream of martial arts.

After all, now she has changed from a copyist to a book mover. While writing, Liu Man'er was thinking about how long it would take to finish the book. If she calculates the speed, two days time will do.

She signed the original author's name for the two previous books, but she has written more and more books in the future. It would be inappropriate if she did not have a unified pen name. After thinking about it, she turned to the title page and wrote the book mover. Three words, as long as the books are transferred to later generations, she will use this pen name in the future.

Her pseudonym is also to tell herself, don’t be inflated, all her books belong to others, and she just plays the role of a book mover, presenting the wonderful stories of later generations to everyone, and getting some money for herself by the way.

"Sister, you wrote this book so fast." Cao'er watched from the side, feeling that she couldn't keep up with Liu Man'er's speed.

"Are you watching?" Liu Man'er looked up at Cao'er.

"Yeah." Cao'er lowered her head and rubbed the ink, and said, "My sister wrote so fast that I didn't even read clearly, and I don't even know some words."

"My writing is sloppy. You can read it after Ye Feng has finished transcribing it. If there are any words you don't know, you can just ask Fu Sheng. He has been studying for a year, so he should know more words than you."

"Okay." Cao'er nodded and continued with the work in hand.

After a while, Han Shixin came in. He saw Liu Man'er was diligently writing the storybook again, and it was really not easy to disturb. Thinking that the merchants were waiting, he coughed lightly.

"Ah, Uncle Han is here." Seeing him, Cao'er reminded Liu Man'er.

"Mistress, Miss Cao'er." Han Shixin saluted, and Liu Man'er knew that Han Shixin must have something to look for her, so she put down her pen and said, "Is there anything wrong? Uncle Han."

"A few foreigners came here, claiming to be businessmen from other places, and came to discuss cooperation with us." Han Shixin said briefly, and Liu Man'er smiled knowingly, and stood up, "They finally came to you?"

"Finally?" Han Shixin caught the key point in Liu Man'er's words.

Liu Man'er smiled deeper, "These are details, where are they now?"

"I will put them in the teahouse." Han Shixin replied.

"I'll go take a look with you." Liu Man'er told Cao'er, "I'm going out first, you can practice calligraphy or embroidery by yourself."

"Sister, you can go at ease." Cao'er nodded, Liu Man'er smiled at her, then greeted Fang Shi, coaxed Ye Tianchen, hugged him softly, and then reluctantly let go, and Han Shixin go outside.

Along the way, Han Shixin and Liu Man'er introduced those merchants, and Liu Man'er nodded, already knowing their purpose in her heart.

She felt that if she could really establish a relationship with these merchants this time, it would be an opportunity for her. These merchants who traveled north and south are best at transporting goods from the east to the west for sale, and transporting goods from the south to the north. Maybe she will have other cooperation with them besides selling books in the future.

But these things are uncertain, and the world is unpredictable, so let's deal with the things in front of us first.

Thinking in this way, the two came to the door of the teahouse. When they entered the teahouse, the group of merchants were listening to the story very seriously, and they didn't even notice that Liu Man'er had come.

Liu Man'er didn't urge her, so she accompanied them to finish listening to the scriptures, and by the way, cheered for Li Yongwen. It wasn't until Li Yongwen left that these unsatisfied merchants discovered Liu Man'er and Han Shixin.

"Shopkeeper Han, why are you here, and you didn't even remind me." Shopkeeper Xiang turned his head and saw Han Shixin, apologizing, "I've kept you waiting for so long. This storyteller's words are so good that he became fascinated for a while."

"It's okay, we're just here too." Han Shixin said with a look of indifference, "Let's talk about what you said just now."

"Okay." Shopkeeper Xiang and the others were also anxious, so they obediently went inside with Han Shixin.

In the hall in the backyard, after Han Shixin invited everyone to sit down, he introduced Liu Man'er to the shopkeeper and others, and said, "Everyone, this is my boss, Shopkeeper Ye."

"This is the shopkeeper." Han Shixin introduced to Liu Man'er.

Liu Man'er ignored the surprise in the shopkeeper's and others' eyes, clasped her fists and saluted, "Shopkeeper Xiang."

"Shopkeeper Ye." Seeing Liu Man'er being so generous, Shopkeeper Xiang and the others looked ashamed. They traveled all over the rivers and lakes, why haven't they seen it?But it's just a female shopkeeper, it's really inappropriate to feel surprised.

In fact, this is no wonder to them, the main reason is that the girl in front of her looks too young, her appearance is quite soft, her skin is white, her eyes are bright and her teeth are white, and even her voice has a kind of gentleness that is unique to the southern people, like a small family jade. , It doesn't look like a businessman.

After the waiter in the shop served tea, Liu Man'er took a sip and said, "I heard that shopkeeper Xiang is here to discuss business with me, right?"

"Yes." Nodding to the shopkeeper.

Liu Man'er said: "I'm a woman, I'm not very good at business, and I don't like to beat around the bush. If you have anything to say, please speak directly to the shopkeeper."

"Shopkeeper Ye really has a straightforward temperament." Shopkeeper Xiang was surprised that Liu Man'er didn't even say a word of nonsense, and just went straight to the point. However, these businessmen have always been straightforward people, and Liu Man'er's straightforwardness is exactly what they want, so she also said bluntly road:
"Since shopkeeper Ye has said so, let me be blunt. I heard that shopkeeper Liu has opened a printing workshop to print these fashionable books?"

"Yeah." Liu Man'er nodded, "What I'm printing now is some of the scriptures I wrote."

"The notebook you wrote?" Xiang the shopkeeper frowned.

"That's right, the Journey to the West and the General Yang family who are on fire in this county are written by our boss." Han Shixin said from the side.

"You actually wrote this, shopkeeper Ye?" Hearing this, shopkeeper Xiang felt a little inconceivable, he never thought that this soft and beautiful woman in front of him would have such a lingering heart.

He has read the first six volumes of this story, and the writing is indeed very touching. It is normal for the love and love to be written by a girl, but he really can't believe that the general of the Yang family also came from this girl. hands.

"Yes." Liu Man'er nodded. Although she was just a book mover, she didn't need to underestimate herself when facing these people.

"The shopkeeper Ye is really too powerful, and I can't wait to catch up." Said the shopkeeper sincerely.

"How can it compare to shopkeeper Xiang? I'm just bored in the boudoir and longing for the outside world. That's why I use words as wings to fly around this river and mountain instead of me."

"Shopkeeper Ye is very ambitious." After listening to Liu Man'er's words, Shopkeeper Xiang also sighed a little. After all, in this dynasty, women did have too many difficulties, but the weak woman in front of her was not a great hero, but what she said What he said gave people a feeling that women do not give way to men.

"Since these scriptures are all written by shopkeeper Ye, it's easy to say. In fact, we are here to buy the scriptures of the first six volumes of Journey to the West." Shopkeeper Xiang exchanged glances with his two companions. , said.

"How much?" Liu Man'er asked.

"One kind of [-] volumes, a total of [-] volumes." Xiang shopkeeper replied.

"Yes." Liu Man'er nodded, and said, "When will I ask the shopkeeper?"

"The sooner the better." Xiang shopkeeper said.

Liu Man'er looked at Han Shixin: "Uncle Han, if our printing workshop wants to print so many books, how many days will it take?"

"It will take half a month at the fastest." Han Shixin replied.

"Half a month is a bit too slow, we can't stay here for too long." Xiang shopkeeper and others said.

"Otherwise, Uncle Han, think of a way to see if there is a way to print [-] copies within seven days." Liu Man'er said to Han Shixin.

"This..." Han Shixin was a little hesitant. In fact, there is no problem with this at all. He actually still has a lot of stock, "Yes!"

"Okay." Hearing Han Shixin's words, he nodded to the shopkeeper and said, "In this case, we will pick up the goods in seven days."

"Well, but can you clarify the price to the shopkeeper? And we require cash payment here." Talking about money hurts feelings, but in business and business, she doesn't think it's a problem. It's better to make it clear, so as to avoid any disputes .

"For the first time to cooperate, Shopkeeper Ye will make a price." Said Shopkeeper Xiang.

"1000 taels of silver." Liu Man'er said, "Originally, a book in our printing workshop would cost 1000 cents, but looking at the shopkeeper, he is also a straightforward person, [-] copies, [-] taels is okay?"

"Okay." The price that President Chen gave them before was [-] cents a copy. I didn't expect to find the right owner now, and it would be cheaper.

"That's fine, then let's sign the contract. After seven days, the shopkeeper will come here to pick up the goods."

Everything was negotiated, the black and white contract was signed, everyone present pressed their fingerprints on the paper, and then told the shopkeeper to hand over the bank note.

Liu Man'er checked it in front of them, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she put the banknote into her bosom, and invited them to a restaurant for a meal, and the matter was completed.

On the way home, Han Shixin still couldn't hide his joy in his heart, and said: "I didn't expect that this printing is really making money, and the owner is very clever. He really knows things like a god."

Liu Man'er smiled slightly, took out two banknotes to Han Shixin, and said, "Let your subordinates be more serious and diligent, and give bonuses to those who should be given bonuses. It is the first time to cooperate with the shopkeeper and the others, and they must do things well." It should be perfect, with no mistakes or omissions.”
