A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 39 The Boss Behind the Scenes

  Xingshan County is only so big, if there are such dignitaries, it is impossible for them not to know.

   "It shouldn't be from Xingshan County, but I can't think of who it is." Wei Mingting was also observing the young man with a face just now, but he didn't remember who it was.

  Yun guessed: "It can't be the nobleman who lives in the meditation room of Fahua Temple?"

   Xingshan County rarely has big names coming, so it is impossible for two people to come at once by such a coincidence.

   "It's possible." Wei Mingting agreed.

   "Then husband, will your honor offend our family because of what happened that day and because Yichen won the competition today?" Yun's worries became even more serious.

   "Don't think about it so much, if you really get angry because of these trivial matters, I have nothing to say. Besides, judging from the young master's performance just now, he doesn't seem like a narrow-minded person." Wei Mingting said.

  He behaved upright and sat upright, and the imperial court wanted to punish him for the crime of being unfavorable to the Japanese, but if he was punished for such a trivial matter, it would be really unfair.

  After discussing the identity of Mr. Jinyi to no avail, Wei Yichen gave Wei Mingting the calligraphy of the Layman in the Tibetan forest that he had won.

  Wei Mingting refused: "You can keep it for yourself, as my father knows that you like this Tibetan layman very much, and you have even always wanted to worship him as your teacher."

   Wei Ruo, who was about to get into the carriage, turned her head and glanced at Wei Yichen when she heard this, but soon she turned back, got into the carriage, and gnawed on the preserved fruit.

   Wei Qingwanruo, who was sitting opposite Wei Ruo, looked out thoughtfully through the crack of the car window, and the appearance of the young man just now kept appearing in her mind.

  I thought about what my parents said just now, that the son was probably a nobleman in Fahua Temple that day, and I was worried whether I left a bad impression on him that day.

  If it is really a nobleman in Fahua Temple, then it is a member of the royal family. Why did the royal family come to such a small place as Xingshan County?

   After the competition, Chu Lan did not leave immediately. He also asked his followers to line up to buy paper and come back.

  Holding the paper in his hand, Chu Lan became more and more sure that these papers were much better than those sold in the capital.

  Lu Yuhong could also see that the paper Chu Lan bought was different from what they usually used, thicker, whiter, and more delicate and smooth.

"I really can't see it. This shop is really famous. Not only does it attract customers with all kinds of tricks, but it also sells better products than other places. It's a bit of a waste of talent to open this shop here. It should be opened in the capital. Go! The business must be a hundred times better than this!" Lu Yuhong commented.

   "Brother Yu, it's not that easy to open a shop in the capital." Chu Lan said.

   "Oh, that's right, the capital is no smaller than this kind of place." Lu Yuhong nodded.

Said that Lu Yuhong jokingly said to Chu Lan: "Your Highness, since their paper is so good and so popular with literati, tell me, if I go to talk to their boss and see if they can provide me with supplies, I will Help him open a shop in the capital, so I can earn some money!"

  No one would think that they have a lot of money, even if it is a son of a family like Lu Yuhong.

   "You can try it, just don't be treated as a robber."

   "It must not be, am I like that kind of bastard? If I want to oppress the people, my grandfather was the first to beat me to death with a whip!"

  ###

  The competition is over, and today's paper is sold out.

   Shopkeeper Jia closed the shop, and then entered the small courtyard behind the shop, where stood a burly and honest peasant man.

  When shopkeeper Jia came in, the farmer was chopping firewood.

   Shopkeeper Jia walked up to him and reported to him the situation of the competition held today and the sales situation of the store.

   Overall, very successful. With just a pair of Tibetan Layman calligraphy and a small competition, Sibao Zhai was promoted in Xingshan County, and 7,200 sheets of paper were successfully sold.

   "Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xu Zhushan agreed with a silly smile.

  Looking at Xu Zhushan's simple and honest appearance, shopkeeper Jia didn't know how many times he felt inconceivable. A person who looks quite dull has so many ideas.

  For example, Xu Zhushan taught him the method of soliciting business today, and he, the shopkeeper, just followed it.

   Shopkeeper Jia is not sure whether their boss is pretending or being stupid.

After a brief moment of inner emotion, the shopkeeper continued to say to Xu Zhushan: "Besides, a son came to the store just now and asked me about the boss, and I answered according to what you told me before, saying that our boss doesn't see customers. "

   "Oh, good."

"The young master said that he came to cooperate with you, boss, and wanted to get goods from you, and open a store in the capital. I remember you mentioned it, because the daily goods are limited, so it is absolutely impossible Will cooperate with others, and will not provide others with a source of paper, so I will repeat the boss's meaning to that person."

   "Yes, that's right." Xu Zhushan nodded.

   "Boss, I'm sorry to be curious, but we only sell so much paper every day. Is the supply really tight?" Shopkeeper Jia couldn't help his curiosity.

   "Yes." Xu Zhushan replied.

   Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhushan thought about an important thing: "By the way, starting tomorrow, we can no longer just sell paper, we need to..."

   Halfway through talking, Xu Zhushan got stuck, and after serious thinking for a while, he continued, "I only bought it together with the pen, ink and inkstone in the store. There is a piece of paper specifically, and I will show it to you!"

  Xu Zhushan ran back to the house, and when he ran back after a while, he was holding a piece of paper in his hand, on which a page of words were densely written, the handwriting was not very good-looking, and it looked like a seven or eight-year-old child's handwriting.

   Shopkeeper Jia took the paper and looked at it. Surprised, he shouted wit!

   Of the four treasures of the study sold in their shop, only paper is special, and the other three are ordinary goods that are also sold in other shops.

   This also led to the fact that only paper is the best seller in the shop, and other things are rarely sold.

  Like today they sold out of paper, and four pieces of pens, inks, and inkstones combined.

However, the paper that Xu Zhushan gave him clearly stated the purchase rules of the store in the future. A "distribution system" must be implemented. If you buy paper directly, you can only buy 20 sheets at most, but if you buy it with other things in the store, you can buy it together. Buy fifty, or even eighty sheets.

  After reading it, shopkeeper Jia still had doubts: "Boss, if we sell it like this, will those people refuse to buy it?"

   "It's okay, just sell it like this. We don't force it. If you don't want to, you can still buy 20 copies." Xu Zhushan said.

   Shopkeeper Jia nodded, "Then I will sell as this tomorrow. I will leave today and come back tomorrow." Shopkeeper Jia said goodbye to Xu Zhushan.

   "Alright, you've worked hard." Xu Zhushan nodded.

  After Xu Zhushan collected the account books, he was ready to pick up his mother-in-law. The mother-in-law has been busy with things on the mountain these days, and she has lost weight. At night, she has to kill a chicken to make up for her.

  Xu Zhushan smiled foolishly as he carried the bamboo basket in the yard. The bamboo basket can help his wife carry things, and if there is pigweed on the roadside, he can also cut some pigweed back.
