Chapter 308 Bookstore opens (1 more)
On the first day of moving, Ye Yiming came with Chu Hong. Although it was a bit late, Chu Chu still prepared a few delicate dishes to celebrate their move to a new home.

Ye Yiming only felt that he hadn't eaten so full for a long time. After eating, he leaned against the chair and didn't want to move.

"Get up and clean up the table with us. In our house, you are not the young master." Chu Xuan still couldn't maintain a stable mood to get along with him. middle.

Ye Yiming's natural way, he was definitely implicated by his elder brother again, he sighed deeply, there is no way, who made him Ye Yixiao's younger brother.

"It's you who can help me and me to work!" Ye Yiming didn't mean to be lazy, as for helping out, he often did it when he was in Yunshui Town.

Although at the beginning, he was really disgusted, and he refused to clean the table and wash the dishes with words like "a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen", but he said nicely, "Then you don't eat the meals I cook in the future." 'He immediately started numbly.

From the unfamiliarity at the beginning, to the proficiency of the movements in the end, it's like a different person.

What Chu Xuan said just now brought back his memories, Ye Yiming rubbed his stomach, stood up, "Isn't it just a few plates, a few bowls, I see you are too lazy!"

Chu Xuan: "..."

Can he put the ceramic bowl in his hand on this man's head?
"Ah Hong and Ah Xuan, you two clean it up, I'm worried that Ah Ming will break our newly bought bowls, these bowls are not cheap." Chu Chu said seriously.

"That's right, for such beautiful bowls, it's better to keep them in the cupboard." Chu Hong held back Chu Xuan who was about to say something, and the two of them took all the bowls, chopsticks, and dishes at once. go down.

Only Chu Chu and Ye Yiming were left in the living room, no, there was also the little girl Chu Qianyue, the sudden silence made Ye Yiming's heart start to beat.The original ease has been replaced by tension.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly felt that under Chu Chu's scrutiny, he was exactly the same as in front of his elder brother.The pressure is so great that it is even difficult to breathe.

"Sister Chu, let me tell you, my elder brother actually..."

Chu Chu saw him crackling, his mouth was moving non-stop, and he didn't intend to stop at all. The speed was so simple, it refreshed Chu Chu's understanding of him.

This vital capacity is astonishingly high.He didn't stop to rest in the middle.

Chu Chu raised her hand and poured him a glass of water, and put it aside to cool.

"...So, actually, I'm not very clear about what happened at home. My eldest brother suffered from a sudden poisoning and fell into a coma. He just got better recently, and he can have a little waking time every day."

Ye Yiming straightened his back and looked at Chuchu sincerely, as if I had already explained everything.

"Finished?" Chu Chu smiled.

Ye Yiming nodded.

"Drink some water to moisten your throat." She pushed the almost cold water glass over.

Ye Yiming was also really thirsty, he gulped it all down, and when he put down the water glass, he smashed his mouth, "It's sour."

"Hawthorn water, you just ate too much. Drinking some hawthorn water can properly promote digestion and make you feel less uncomfortable at night." Chu Chu said.

Ye Yiming was a little embarrassed. It was really not polite to be late when going to someone's house for dinner.

"So, Ye Yixiao now has to rely on the Seventh Princess of Xiliang to detoxify him, that's why he agreed to marry her?" Chu Chu asked.

Ye Yiming shook his head, "I don't know, I asked my elder brother, but every time he has a way to fool me, because of this matter, Ah Hong has been laughing at me for a day."

He sighed helplessly.

Chu Chu nodded with a very unkind smile, "Then I advise you not to ask any more questions. No matter how much you ask, he won't tell you the things he doesn't want to tell you."

"No, I will definitely find out the result! I already have a good idea! Sister Chu, just wait for my good news!" Ye Yiming felt that he had a heavy responsibility.

Sister Chu's food is so delicious, the eldest brother must marry her home!Otherwise, wouldn't he not be able to eat it in the future?

Even for food, he has to do his best!

Chu Chu just smiled and said nothing, it was a thousand-faced fox, it was already very clever, how could Ye Yiming deal with it?She had no hope of it.

However, although she thought so in her heart, she didn't say it out, she didn't want to hurt Ye Yiming's confidence.

He is going to be a general in the future, and it would be very good for him to exercise his brain a lot.

"Sister Chu, it's getting late, so I'll go back first. Don't worry, Sister Chu, I will definitely check it out." Ye Yiming stood up and said goodbye.

"Go back and tell him that I have forgotten what he looks like. Moreover, he said he would come back to celebrate my birthday, but he didn't come back. I think the senior is very good now, so he doesn't have to show up."

Chu Qianyue on the side suddenly said, Ye Yiming turned around and looked at her in surprise, but before he could continue to ask, the little girl Chu Qianyue had already jumped off the chair and ran out of the living room.

Ye Yiming looked at Chuchu in surprise, "Is the little girl angry?"

Chu Chu frowned, nodded, and said helplessly, "When Ye Yixiao left Yunshui Town, she had already made her angry because we had an accident in Ye Mansion. Later, Ye Yixiao promised her to come back to celebrate her birthday, and this girl reluctantly forgave him , but he didn't come back."

"Now that we have arrived in the capital, there are news everywhere in the capital that Ye Yixiao is about to marry the Seventh Princess of Xiliang, and she is even more unhappy to hear that. In order to meet Ye Yixiao, she even went to the bank without telling me, but Ye Yixiao still didn't Appear."

"It is estimated that he saw you coming, but Ye Yixiao didn't come, he was disappointed, and he was angry!" Chu Chu explained.

Ye Yiming suddenly felt that the elder brother was really going to be miserable this time, so he silently gave the eldest brother the wax in his heart.

"The senior that the little girl mentioned just now?" He asked in confusion.

Chu Chu felt even more headache, "It's Feng Zi'an, the little girl recognized old man Zhou Hai as her teacher, I really don't know when she got so close to that fellow Feng Zi'an?"

"Then what do you think, Sister Chu? Do you like my elder brother more, or Feng Zian?" Ye Yiming looked at her nervously, God knows how uneasy he was.

Chu Chu smiled slightly, "Children are not old, do you know what you like or not? This is our adult's business, you should go home and rest quickly, and you have to go to the academy tomorrow! Now Ah Hong is also going to the Imperial College, if your grades Not as good as him, it would be too..."

"Hmph, no! I've been studying hard for the past six months, and I'm sure my grades will be better than Chu Hong's in this exam!" Ye Yiming left confidently.

Chu Chu also got up, ready to go back to see her daughter. Didn't she still wait for Ye Yixiao to come and see her with anticipation a few days ago?Why did you suddenly lose your temper today?

And what happened to Feng Zian?

"Little uncle, is what I said just now really useful? Will my little uncle be fooled?" Chu Qianyue went into the study and asked with some uncertainty.

Chu Hong touched her little head, with a slight smile on his lips, "Ah Ming will definitely pass on your words to Ye Yixiao, if Ye Yixiao's health is better, it should be possible to come out to see you. "

Chu Qianyue's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Chu Hong's sleeve, "Really? Really?"

Chu Hong nodded, and said confidently, "Unless he doesn't like my sister and doesn't want to be with her anymore, otherwise, he will definitely show up."

"But why? What I said, why did my father come to see me?" Chu Qianyue asked with her head tilted.

"Ahem!" Chu Hong pressed his lips to his lips, feeling extremely embarrassed. It was really inappropriate to tell the little girl about being jealous.

"Why do I think what I said is so powerful? It's not a threat, how can it be so useful to dad?" Chu Qianyue was very puzzled.

Chu Hong was very conflicted. He frowned, racked his brains, and thought of suitable words, "Because you are his daughter, if he doesn't come to see you, you don't want him, so he can only come here."

"Oh, so it is." Chu Qianyue nodded, indicating that she understood.

Chu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, but it's okay, she didn't continue to ask, otherwise, he really didn't know how to explain it.

Standing at the door, Chu Chu's face was full of dark lines, "Why didn't I know when Dongdao knew so much?"

Hearing this, Chu Hong got up immediately, with a look of embarrassment, "I read the third volume of your "Legend of Cultivating Immortals", and there happened to be a paragraph in it."

Chu Chu raised her forehead speechlessly, "Look less in the future!"

Chu Hong: "It's very beautiful, and I didn't delay my study."

Chu Chu: "...Why do I feel that compared to Ye Yiming, you are more like Ye Yixiao's younger brother, young and full of thoughts!"

Chu Hong showed his white teeth with a rare smile, "No, I am my sister's younger brother, as smart as my sister."

Chu Chu gave him a sideways look, "Do you think I'll forget about it if you say that?"

Chu Hong sighed, feeling very sorry.

"Don't meddle in the matter between me and Ye Yixiao. We will solve the matter of adults. You should study hard now. Just now Ye Yiming said that the test scores this time must be better than yours! Do you want to be surpassed by him?"

Chu Chu slowed down her tone and deliberately changed the subject.

"Hmph, it's impossible to surpass me!" Chu Hong immediately became full of fighting spirit, "My grades are definitely better than his!"

"Then study hard. The Imperial College is no better than Yunshui Academy. The students there are even more hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Put your mind on studying and don't be distracted by other things. If you really need help, I will definitely tell you .”

Chu Chu said with a smile.

"it is good."

Chu Hong didn't insist, because he knew how powerful his sister was!In every aspect, in fact, Chu Chu is the person he admires the most.

*
After Ye Yiming returned home, he went to Ye Yixiao's yard again to discredit him. He wanted to tell his elder brother the important news he got today, so that he could think of a countermeasure quickly, otherwise his wife and daughter would be gone.

However, he was stopped by Ye Qi, "The young master is asleep."

"I really have something important to tell my brother!" Ye Yiming wanted to bypass him and rushed in.

But Ye Qi put his hand on his chest, "The young master is asleep."

"It's okay, he woke up when I went in." Ye Yiming was very persistent, and this time he turned around from the right.

Ye Qi blocked him again, "The young master is asleep."

Ye Yiming was helpless, "Can you change the word?"

Ye Qi tilted his head, with doubts in his eyes, "Master is asleep."

Ye Yiming: "..."

Well, it is impossible to hear more than five words from Ye Qi's mouth!

Ye Yiming angrily turned his head and went back to his yard. The elder brother must have done it on purpose, he must know that he would reflect on it during the day, but he was fooled by him last night, and he came back to ask for an answer, so he let Ye Qi stand outside the yard he!
Otherwise, why didn't I see Ye Qi yesterday and the day before yesterday, but why did he show up today?
Thinking of his promise to Chu Hong and Chu Chu that he would get the answer, Ye Yi gritted his teeth in anger, how hard his life is!There is such a smart big brother!

Ye Yiming, who felt that he failed to complete the task, did not dare to go to Chu Hong's side. For the next few days, he almost walked around Chu Hong. He was beaten in the face too many times, and he was full of confidence every time. In the end, the promises he made were made by his elder brother, and he also wanted to save face!
Last time, because he was fooled by Ye Yixiao, he was read by Chu Hong all day long. He never wanted such a thing to happen again.

Chu Hong, who was busy studying and catching up with the progress, noticed it, but he didn't look for Ye Yiming. He thought that Ye Yiming must have studied hard. After all, he was talking at their house, and his test scores would definitely be better than his own.

These two completely different thoughts made the two of them never meet each other in the academy for ten consecutive days.

As for Lian Jue, Qi Quan and Jiang Yang, they met more often, but basically they all met in the dining hall.

Is the reason, ahem!

Apart from the snacks made by Chuchu, there is no second reference answer.

However, Chu Chu made snacks less and less often, because after getting the bookstore, she has almost no money left, and her biggest task now is to earn money!
Ye Yi, the shopkeeper, took over as well. The first thing to do was to change the plaque. In the past, the bookstore was named Chen Ji Study Room based on the surname of shopkeeper Chen. Since Chu Chu bought it, it naturally couldn't continue the previous name.

"Starting today, Chen Ji's study room will be officially renamed Shuxiangju. This is our new owner, shopkeeper Ye. Don't worry, everyone's salary will remain the same in the future, and it will still be paid at the end of the month. If anyone performs well, there will be others." Extra red envelope bonus."

Chu Chu said.

The expressions of the four craftsmen were all shocked. It was the first time they had heard of the fact that wages and bonuses were paid.

"Our shopkeeper is the most kind, and he is also very generous to the craftsmen in the shop. Those who have worked for one year will have an extra red envelope reward at the end of the year." Chu Chu continued.

"Shopkeeper, don't worry, we are all craftsmen who have been working for more than ten years, and the skills in our hands are absolutely qualified. If you have any orders, just say it."

Old Zhao, the oldest, said.

Ye Yi still didn't change his face, and took out two scripts, "From now on, print five hundred scripts first."

Old Zhao took it over respectfully. There are two volumes of "Xianxia Xiaoyao Zhuan", Nan Ke Yimeng said, "The treasurer's is just a story book. With so many printed, I'm afraid it won't be sold out!"

"Shopkeeper, you may not know the situation of Jingzhong Bookstore. The books of the great Confucianists in the world are for sale; the second is the words of the sages, which must be taught in the academy. This kind of wandering books are sold because there are many students. That’s right; although there are a few copies of this book that sell well, they are only a few copies.”

Lao Qian said it very tactfully, for fear of offending Ye Yi, his new employer.

"And even if occasionally a few story books sell better, they are only two or three hundred copies, no more. We will print five hundred copies at once. If we can't sell them, we will lose money."

What Lao Sun said was more direct.

Among the four craftsmen, three spoke one after another, but Lao Li remained silent.

Chu Chu looked over, "Master Li, what do you think?"

Lao Li raised his head, "Since the shopkeeper bought this bookstore and wants to continue the bookstore business, he must have learned some relevant information before, and his heart is full of freedom. I am just a craftsman, and printing books is okay. Business like this Things, how do I know!"

Chu Chu pursed her lips and smiled, living so clearly.

When the other craftsmen heard this, they immediately felt that they were being too presumptuous just now, and bowed their hands repeatedly, "It's an old man talking nonsense, please don't blame the shopkeeper."

Out of the corner of Chuchu's eyes, she glanced at Ye Yi, clearly seeing the helplessness in his eyes, how could he become the shopkeeper!Thinking of having to deal with these things in the future, he just felt that there was nothing to love in life.

"Print [-] copies first, and they must be exactly the same. If there is any difficulty, please let me know in time." Ye Yi said coldly.

The four of them immediately turned around and walked towards the engraving workshop, started working immediately, without saying anything.

Chu Chu was a little helpless, "You will frighten them with such a straight face."

"It's a good thing that they are afraid of me, so they won't dare to steal and play tricks." Ye Yi insisted on his current expression.

Chuchu was speechless, "You don't have to reject this job so much, look, there is no one in the shop now, just make a pot of tea and drink slowly, and you can also read scripts or something, how leisurely!"

Ye Yi looked at the tea table made by Chu Chu in the middle of the shop, the purple sand teapot was equipped with six small teacups, and there were many kinds of tea in the drawer of the tea table, naturally, the scented tea made by Chu Chu herself was the most.

"Are you really going to put the tea table in the middle? This is a bookstore, shouldn't there be more books?" Ye Yi, who doesn't know how to do business, was puzzled.

"Isn't this prepared for you? I'm worried that you will be too bored in the shop. Anyway, the tea table is very big. You can also drink tea while playing chess or something, as you like."

Chu Chu has a sincere attitude.

Ye Yi felt a little embarrassed, "Actually, you don't need to bother. I just didn't get used to it at first."

"It's nothing. There is such a tea table in the store. When guests come, if you are tired, you can sit down and have a rest and drink tea. It's also very good." Chu Chu said with a smile.

Ye Yi: "...So, this is not specially prepared for me, is it?"

Chu Chu thought about it, "You must be the one who uses it the most and for the longest time among all the people."

The corner of Ye Yi's mouth twitched, "It's time for you to go out. Printing five hundred copies is a considerable expense, but don't open the bookstore's first business, you will lose money."

"Take a good look at the shop, you can do it, come on." Chu Chu patted him on the shoulder, and walked out of the shop with a smile on her face.

Looking at her back, Ye Yi could only smile helplessly, who told him that this was his next task, since it was his own decision, he had to finish it even while crying!

Naturally, Chu Chu was not impulsive. Since arriving in the capital, she has successively sold out no less than twenty bookstores in the capital. She knows which books are popular, which books sell well, and which books make the most money. .

In fact, Lao Zhao's analysis was quite correct. The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, with countless literati and many students. The bookstores here are more profitable than any other places.

But there is one thing that is the same as other places, that is, there are really few categories here.

It may be because the story book is too single, and everyone is too familiar with this kind of story book, and there is nothing new about it, so even if there are a few books that sell well occasionally, they are only two or three hundred copies.

Those so-called book sales are so good that they can sell two or three hundred copies. Chu Chu has been flipping through them a few days ago. To be honest, they are still old-fashioned wits and beautiful ladies. profound.

It is just such an old-fashioned storybook, but it is just a tragic rescue, and the previous happy reunion has been changed, so many readers buy it. It can be seen how eager these readers are for a different storybook!
It was the sales of these two or three hundred books that gave Chu Chu more confidence to occupy such a huge market as Huaben.

The first shot of Shuxiangju naturally had to be fired loudly.

Full of confidence, Chu Chu went to the teahouse she had made an appointment with Feng Zian.
