The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?

Su Qian also had no choice but to blame that there were too many people who met Xu Qing.

It's fine, and it's fine.

Su Qian is not very interested in how good he is at writing poems, but this time the story he wrote is so beautiful, if he doesn't write because the boss is not satisfied with the price, what will Su Qian see?

Yesterday, I felt a little guilty because I started it too hard. I can't force him to write a story this time, can I?

It would be too unreasonable to do so.

Fortunately, because Su Qian has no place to spend on weekdays, but she has saved a lot of money since she was a child.

According to the current calculation, Xu Qing still has seven taels of silver a month, seven taels should allow him to write for a while, right?

...

Lying on the bed, Xu Qing whispered and prayed: "Give me a tael! I can write for a tael a month until I die!"

five days later

Xu Qing went to the bookstore to check the results of the manuscript.

The owner of the bookstore saw Xu Qing coming in, and after learning that he was the author of the manuscript that Ms. Su checked last time, he hurriedly asked him to sit down enthusiastically, "Mr. Xu Qing is here, come, come, sit down."

The owner of the bookstore said: "Mr. Xu Qing, the manuscript you wrote for the villain last time was very good. Why don't you just write ten times a month according to the number of words you wrote in the first time, and our bookstore will give you seven taels of silver for embellishing pens a month?" how?"

In this era when all kinds of information are opaque, it is impossible to achieve the sales method that Xu Qing does according to the future generations.

There is almost only one way to buy it out. The bookstore receives the manuscript and publishes it.

How much money will be given to you as many times as you want, and then how many copies of this manuscript the merchant can sell and how much money it makes has nothing to do with you.

But this price really surprised Xu Qing, seven taels!

He died once plus the savings he saved on weekdays is only the price...

Xu Qing was afraid that the shopkeeper would go back on his word, so he nodded quickly and said, "Deal!"

Hearing what Xu Qing said, the owner of the bookstore went to draw up the contract.

In this era, you need a deed to buy a house, a title deed to buy land, and a contract to write a book.

It is roughly equivalent to the contract of later generations.

Xu Qing wrote own's name on the owner of the bookstore, which meant the contract was established.

After finishing all this, the owner of the bookstore looked at Xu Qing and said, "Master Xu, do you want to come up with a pseudonym?"

"A pen name?" Xu Qing asked curiously, "Do I need a pen name to write a book here?"

Although Xu Qing had written several books in her previous life, Xu Qing didn't understand the use of the pseudonym.

The owner of the bookstore shook his head and said, "It's fine if you want to use your own name, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that we used to have an author who was very good at writing story books, but he used his own name because he wrote stories slowly on weekdays, so when he came home last time, he saw several people throwing them in the yard of his house. A kitchen knife..."

Only then did Xu Qing realize that the pen name was actually for the sake of own safety...

The ancients are really scary!

In the previous life, it was just talk, but in this era, some people really dare to do anything!

And because there is no surveillance, I don't even know who did it...

After getting the contract, Xu Qing went home and rushed to finish the draft. The only one who could follow the progress of the story in real time was Su Qian.

Although it is said that now the two have resumed their normal way of patrolling the streets.

But since Xu Qing taught Su Qian how to fish last time, Su Qian also learned it, turning three times in the morning and three times in the afternoon.

In the middle of the time, they all stayed at Xu Qing's house and watched Xu Qing write manuscripts.

When Xu Qing is tired from writing, Su Qian will also carry a pen for a while.

If it wasn't for the inconvenience, Su Qian would have wanted to follow up on the progress at Xu Qing's house twelve hours a day.

After the sun went down, Su Qian came out from Xu Qing's house. The story she wrote this time was a bit exciting but she forgot to count the time.

Looking at the bright moonlight, Xu Qing couldn't help but wonder if it would be unsafe for a girl like Su Qian to walk at night at such a late hour.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing couldn't help touching his buttocks which had already healed.

How could he think so?

He actually worried that it would be unsafe for Su Qian to go home alone at night? !

He felt that he should worry about those people who wanted to do something to Su Qian in the middle of the night...

by an alley

The two men lay on the ground clutching their stomachs and kept grabbing the ground with their heads: "Woman, spare my life! Girl, spare my life! I won't dare again!"

Su Qian looked at the two men condescendingly and said in a cold voice, "Do you want to rob like others with such little skill?"

...

A few days later, Xu Qing copied ten manuscripts and handed them over to the bookstore.

Then the bookstore began typesetting and printing.

This world already has movable type, and typesetting discs have been invented.

Otherwise, it would not be able to support the need for fast and large-scale printing of scripts.

After handing in the manuscript this month, Xu Qing doesn't have to worry about the rest, he has already received the money, a total of seven taels.

Counting the two taels he had left, it was almost ten taels of silver.

Even though the world's script has been developed for some time, the illiterates in this world still occupy the majority.

Moreover, although books are now much cheaper than in the previous dynasty, they are still not affordable for ordinary families.

Those who can afford it are those who are educated.

A large part can only understand the stories in the storybook through the storyteller.

...

open source bookstore

The bookstore is eagerly greeting customers, and several customers are looking at the titles on the bookshelf and thinking about what to buy.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes, a new story?"

Hearing someone talking, the man hurriedly greeted him: "Yes, sir, this is a new book that just came out, why don't you buy it and read it? The story is a good one!"

Although the guest knew that no matter what book he took, the guy said it was a good story, but he didn't miss the two dollars, so he nodded and said, "I'll buy another one."

There is the first and soon there will be the second.

Because these days are the beginning of the month, when most of the stories in the storybook are new, the business is the most prosperous in these few days.

And the more eye-catching the position of these scriptures, the more people will pay attention to them and buy them.

A library in a house

A young man read a few stories he had been chasing after, and found out which "Legend of the Condor Heroes" he bought newly.

After reading a few pages, the young man let out a surprised "Huh".

"Martial arts!? I've never read this kind of story before, let's read it!"

a quarter of an hour later

"My mother! Is this Yan Wu's hand disabled?! I just wrote this!? Damn it to the extreme! It's unreasonable!"

Then the young man thought for a while and murmured: "No, I definitely can't bear this suffering alone, I have to recommend it to Brother Zhang and Brother Shen, even if it is suffering, they have to suffer with me !"

"Yes, let's do that!"
