I am the only fairy in the world

Chapter 60 60. This is to exterminate the Wang family! (Super large chapter 1W words)
Cao Yin is the shopkeeper of a bookstore.

The name of the bookstore is 'Wenmoxuan', it is a small bookstore, and it only earns a living, so it can take care of the food and clothing of a family, and occasionally, it can add meat to eat for a week and a half.

Don't underestimate this, it has surpassed more than [-]% of the people in Xining City.

You know: In Xining City, there are [-]% to [-]% of the people, who are mediocre every day, but can't earn much money, and dare not open their stomachs to eat.

——This is the case in this era, where [-] to [-] percent of the people control [-] to [-] percent of social wealth, and Xining City is no exception.The top group of people do not work, but they hold a lot of wealth and rich food and clothing; the bottom people are busy all day long, but they can't eat enough.

Whenever he is tired and tired, Cao Yin thinks about those low-level people, and he is satisfied.

this day.

After Cao Yin had lunch, he cleaned up in the bookstore.

His bookstore is not large, so he can only hire one helper to do the physical work of moving the books, and he has to do the cleaning, sorting the books... these delicate tasks by himself.

Although it was trivial work, Cao Yin did it meticulously. Not only the facade, tables, and bookshelves were polished, but even some corners were cleaned and spotless.

He knows very well that those who can read and read, as well as other scholars, mostly have a temper, have a good face, and like clean and high-end places.

If your store is neatly cleaned and the windows are bright and clean, people will feel worthy and like to buy books.

This is a little trick that Cao Yin summed up after doing business for a long time.

Wait until the work is over.

Cao Yin took two steps back and stood outside the store, looking at his spotless bookstore filled with the smell of books, his mood improved unconsciously.

"This is my industry!"

He sighed in his heart.

but said:

Cao Yin has two ambitions in his life.

One is: my little boy can study well, and in the future, he will find an official position.

The second is: "Wenmoxuan", which has been in business for half a lifetime, can become bigger and stronger, which is too much to think about. As long as it can develop upstream and have its own "small printing workshop", then he will be satisfied.

Speaking of this.

Subconsciously, Cao Yin turned his head and looked to the east. There was another bookstore 200 meters away, with the sign of "Zhuangyuanfang" hanging on it.

He looked at the bookstore with envy and awe unconsciously in his eyes.

——That is the bookstore of the Wang family's "Zhuangyuanfang", and it is only one of the bookstores under the jurisdiction of the "Zhuangyuanfang". There are more than a dozen other bookstores like that in the Wang family in Xining City.

"The Wang family has the largest 'printing workshop' in the city, and there are countless bookstores in the city, all relying on others for food... What a grandeur!"

Cao Yin sighed.

Don't look at the Wang family, in Xining City, the name doesn't seem to be very big, but it is enough for people like Cao Yin to look up to.

What's more, the work he does is still in the bookstore industry.

It can be said: In the industry chain of book selection, book printing, and book buying, the Wang family is a well-deserved leader—even which books sell well and are printed more often, which is like a weathervane in the city.

The Wang family owns the largest printing workshop in Xining City, and naturally it is also the largest book supplier in the city. Many bookstores rely on the Wang family for their livelihoods.

Cao Yin's 'Wen Mo Xuan' is no exception.

Every time he mentions books, he basically goes to Wang's "Zhuangyuanfang" - for no other reason, just two words: cheap.

However, the work of carrying books is not an easy task.

Every time Cao Yin went to Zhuangyuanfang to buy goods, in order to get more bestsellers, he had to smile, bow his head and say all the good things, so he almost begged his grandpa to sue his grandma.

Even if Cao Yin is the shopkeeper of a bookstore, it can only be like this.

No way, who let his 'Wen Moxuan' get stuck in the neck?
This is the bitterness of life.

However, in this huge city of Xining, in order to have a bite to eat, there are not many people who bend their backs, lower their faces, and trample their dignity on the mud.

Compared with those people, this is nothing.

……

anyway.

Cao Yin looked in the direction of 'Zhuangyuanfang', and after this look, he found something was wrong.

at this time.

Outside the "Zhuangyuanfang" bookstore, there is a big card hanging on it, which reads: "New books arriving today: "Tian Long Ba Bu", "Painted Skin", and "Journey to the West". Come first serve! '

"what?!"

Cao Yin's eyes widened.

He works as a bookstore, so he pays close attention to news such as dialogue books and stories, so he naturally knows: recently, a real Su came out of the city, and the stories he told were very popular.

even.

In the past few days, many well-dressed people came in and asked if there were any books of those stories. Of course, his 'Wenmoxuan' didn't have any. Every time, he sent those guests away very painfully.

See the big from the small: It can be seen how popular those stories are, and how popular and profitable they would be if they were printed into books!

"Wang Family's 'Zhuangyuanfang' has been authorized by that Su Zhenren so quickly, printed into a book, and started selling?"

"The action is really fast and confidential enough!"

Cao Yin muttered, his eyes lit up, and he immediately grasped the business opportunity: "No, I have to pick up the goods immediately, I can't miss this good opportunity... Besides, for this batch of books, I must try my best to get more..."

With a little brainstorming, he could figure out: If these books were to be sold, how much sales would they have, how much money would they make, and how much money would they have.

……

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Cao Yin asked the hired helper to watch the store, and trotted to the "Zhuangyuanfang" diagonally opposite the door, but after this question, the result was depressing.

"No wholesale! None of this batch of books will be sold for wholesale!"

Shopkeeper Kang waved his hands impatiently.

Cao Yin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but he still smiled, took out a money bag from his sleeve and handed it to him very painfully: "Brother Kang, please do me a favor and enjoy some food?"

"Yo? This sincerity is quite enough!"

Shopkeeper Kang weighed it twice, put the money bag into his sleeve, and then his face softened a little: "Xiao Cao, let me tell you the truth: this time, there is an explanation from my Wang family, and none of them can be sold out for wholesale!"

"However, based on the past friendship, it's not impossible to give you a convenience... So, what do you think?"

""Tian Long Ba Bu" is one book; the first two volumes of "Painted Skin" and "Journey to the West" are combined into one book. The prices of these two books are both 120 renminbi. I will give you ten books and eight books..."

"This this……"

When Cao Yin heard this, his face turned green and red.

Isn't that humiliating?

The price is 120 ren, give me ten copies and eight copies, only [-] yuan cheaper, what is the difference between that and buying directly in the store?
Even, with the money given away just now, it will be more expensive than buying it directly... It's more expensive!
"Brother Kang, are... are you kidding me?" Cao Yin took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and forced a smile.

"joke?"

Shopkeeper Kang sneered disdainfully, and suddenly changed his face: "You picky bastard, are you worthy of me joking with you? For now, I'll just put this sentence here: If you want love, don't...get out!"

Wholesale of these books is not allowed at the top of the Wang family. If they send them in bulk at a low price without permission, wouldn't he have to fill in the shortfall?
In his opinion: under the premise of the purchase limit of three copies, taking Cao Yin's money and giving the other party ten or eight copies is already a way of saving face. How dare the other party be disrespectful?

It really makes no sense!

"Hey, Shopkeeper Kang..." Cao Yin wanted to say something more.

"see a visitor out!"

Shopkeeper Kang was getting impatient, so he gave a cold drink.

Immediately, two mistresses came over, drove Cao Yin, and kicked him out—as for the money he had accepted before, of course he would not return it.

……

"Ugh!"

Cao Yin was kicked out, sighed deeply, and muttered to himself: "Let's go to another bookstore to see, I hope I can pick up the goods!"

Behind.

Shopkeeper Kang hadn't entered yet, when he heard this, he snorted coldly, and said with a smile in his heart: "It's a beautiful idea, but this time, my Wang family's goods are really scorpion rakes—the only one!"

However, he didn't remind Cao Yin, he just wanted to make the other party busy for nothing, and in the end, he hoped to be annihilated.

This is also bad fun.

……

It's not just Cao Yin's 'Wenmoxuan'. At this moment, there are not a few bookstores in Xining City where this happens.

Even those slightly larger bookstores, with small printing workshops upstream, were stuck at this moment.

However, their situation is better, they can immediately go to the "Zhuangyuanfang" to buy books, and then go back and copy them by themselves.

However, even so, the impact is not small.

First of all, it takes time; moreover, even if the printing is pirated, the cost is much higher than that of "Zhuangyuanfang".

These are still secondary.

The most important thing is that there is a period of vacuum in the middle. If there is no best-selling book like "Dragon and Babu" in its own bookstore, its market share will be squeezed by the bookstore of Zhuangyuanfang.

You know: if this market share is taken away, it will be difficult to get it back.

——This is the deadliest thing!
It can be said that the Wang family has single-handedly opened the curtain for the reshuffle of the "bookstore industry" in Xining City.

……

but said:

Leave the 'Zhuangyuanfang'.

In order to save time, Cao Yin was ruthless, gritted his teeth, and directly hired a carriage, and went to the major printing houses in the city to ask if there was any goods.

After half an hour.

He was cold.

Except for Wang's Zhuangyuanfang, other bookstores really don't have the volumes of "Tian Long Ba Bu", "Painted Skin", and "Journey to the West".

Even, during this process, Cao Yin met many colleagues, all of whom came for this reason, and their faces were full of sorrow.

"It's over."

Cao Yin was dejected, walking on the street, the scorching sun shone in the afternoon, but it couldn't dispel the chill in his heart.

He knew that the Wang family had single-handedly controlled the reshuffle of bookstores in the city, and during this reshuffle, a small family like his own would definitely be the first to be eliminated.

Just when Cao Yin was in despair——

He suddenly received an invitation.

"Are you the shopkeeper Cao of 'Wenmoxuan'?"

A young man caught up, panting heavily, and said, "My shopkeeper, Zhu shopkeeper of the 'Tongtian Inn', please go over and tell, it's about "Tian Long Ba Bu", "Painted Skin", "Journey to the West" The matter of the three novel volumes..."

"What about these books?"

When Cao Yin heard the words, he immediately thought: According to reports, the storyteller's place, Su Zhenren, is in the 'Tongtian Inn'.

"Could it be,"

He seemed to have thought of something, grabbed the boy's hand, and asked excitedly: "You 'Tongtian Inn', do you have these books in stock?"

"Yes..." The boy nodded in confirmation.

Mountain darkly, vista.

Cao Yin suddenly saw hope, his eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to ask: "How many books are there? What's the wholesale price? When can I pick up the goods?"

"Shopkeeper Cao, I don't know about these issues... However, what I can tell you is: we have these books in stock in our store, and there are many more."

"Our shopkeeper Zhu, please go this time to discuss these matters."

"As for me, I'm just an errand runner..."

As the boy said, he pointed to the list in his hand and said with a smile.

"Oh, look at me, I'm so confused."

Cao Yin patted his forehead and forced himself to calm down: "You shopkeeper Zhu, um... when do you have time? I mean, when can I visit?"

"The sooner the better, preferably now."

"Ok, ok, ok! Then I'll go..."

Cao Yin went to the 'Tongtian Inn' in a mood of apprehension and anticipation—even, in order to fear that Zhu Fugui would wait for a long time and appear negligent, he even hired a carriage on purpose.

"Treasurer Cao, the invitation is complete!"

The servant lowered his head, and ticked off after Manager Cao of 'Wenmoxuan' on his own list: "Next, Manager Xue of 'Gentleman Pavilion'..."

……

Tongtian Inn.

Cao Yin came to the door, explained his purpose, and was immediately ushered into the inner room, a quiet room, by a maid.

it's here.

He also met many acquaintances, all of whom were in the same industry, and immediately felt at ease.

"Hello, Shopkeeper Cao!"

"Shopkeeper Lin is also good!"

"Hey, isn't this the shopkeeper of 'Wenya Building'? Where did you get rich recently?"

……

A group of people exchanged pleasantries.

Coincidentally.

Not long after Cao Yin arrived, Zhu Fugui appeared.

"Yo, shopkeeper Zhu is here!"

"Good morning, Shopkeeper Zhu!"

"The Lord is here!"

……

"Everyone is good!"

Zhu Fugui lowered his hands to calm everyone down: "I know everyone's intentions, so I don't gossip too much, just look at the goods..."

talking.

With a wave of his right hand, two servants immediately came in with a stack of books and distributed them to the shopkeepers one by one.

Immediately.

Whoa!
Just listen to the shopkeepers of these bookstores, a sound of flipping books.

finally.

It was still a senior from a respected bookstore who said: "This 'model book' is well-printed. Judging from my book, there is no stain or typo, and the handwriting is also correct. It looks quite comfortable, and it is undoubtedly a high-quality product. "

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant echo.

"Yeah, mine is the same."

"The quality of this printing is not much better than that of Wang's 'Zhuangyuanfang'!"

"Isn't that just giving way? It's obviously better... Sigh, let's not talk about the Wang family, the one who suffers from the plague and eats alone."

The shopkeeper asked: "I don't know, these books...how much is the wholesale price? How much is there in stock?"

"If the wholesale price doesn't exceed [-] yuan, I want [-] copies!"

"At this price, I can ask for a thousand copies."

……

Cao Yin looked at this 'model book' and was satisfied in his heart, but he was worried that these books were too short in stock and he would not be able to grab many; or that the price was too high.

at this time.

Hearing the inquiries from his colleagues, he also set his sights on Zhu Fugui, holding his heart tightly, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

……

"The printing quality of these books must have been seen by everyone. They are all first-class boutiques."

"Is it in stock? You don't have to worry! I, Zhu Fugui, put a bold statement here: I have as much as you want here."

"As for the shopkeepers, the price you are most concerned about,"

Having said this, Zhu Fugui paused for a moment, and said impassionedly, "Just... forty Wen!"

The voice fell.

The audience was silent for a moment, and then shouted one after another.

"What, did I hear correctly? Forty Wen?!"

"Forty Wen, is that enough?"

"Shopkeeper Zhu, are you sure you're right? Should it be ninety words?"

A shopkeeper doubted: "Even if it is the printing workshop of 'Zhuangyuanfang', the cost of printing such a book is seventy or eighty yuan. It must be wrong!"

"However, even if it's ninety characters, it's not much!"

"Indeed, if it's ninety, the cost is about the same as my small printing workshop. If it's really ninety, then I'll need two thousand copies..."

……

"Forty Wen? You must have said something wrong. This price is not even enough for printing."

Cao Yin has been running a bookstore for many years, so he knows a little about the cost of printing.

"However, even if it's ninety, it's cheap enough! Although my 'Wenmoxuan' is small, I can still get 500 copies..."

He thought to himself.

……

There was chaos.

clap clap!

Zhu Fugui had no choice but to clap his hands, and then let the shopkeepers calm down again: "Everyone heard correctly, it is forty Wen."

"As for whether we can keep the capital, that's our business. You don't have to worry, just keep your eyes closed and hug the money."

"However, the wholesale price is forty coins, which is true."

"However, there is one more condition, that is: a contract must be signed, and the selling price of these books must not exceed sixty cash, otherwise, the next cooperation will be terminated, and a fine of 5000 taels of silver will be recovered!"

After hearing Zhu Fugui's words, all the shopkeepers blushed with excitement.

"What, really forty pennies?!"

"It's so cheap, aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"I have a question: the price is no higher than sixty coins, is it too cheap?"

"Small profits but quick turnover! Besides, at the wholesale price of 59 ren, even if [-] ren are sold, the profit is still [-] ren!"

"Yeah, with such a cheap price, coupled with the popularity of this story, it must be extremely popular. It's like picking up money... I, 'Moyun Pavilion', agree."

"I, 'Shuxiangzhai', also agree to this condition, I want two thousand copies!"

"I want two thousand copies too!"

"What the hell, it's cheaper than printing it myself. I want three thousand copies!"

……

Immediately, there was a rush of registration below.

……

Cao Yin was also infected by this atmosphere. Curiosity arose in his heart, and he waved his hand: "I want a thousand copies too!"

……

"Very well, then it's settled. Interested shopkeepers can go to register now, sign the contract, and pick up the book to pick up the goods."

"However, here I have a few small sales suggestions, interested shopkeepers, you can listen to them."

Zhu Fugui said: "Our 'Tongtian Inn' will send out some 'promotional coupons'—'promotional coupons', as the name suggests, they are for promoting books."

"As long as the book-buying customers bring the 'promotional coupon' to buy the book, they can redeem five Wen. Of course, each book can use at most one 'promotional coupon'."

"If you are interested in joining this plan, you can come and sign up. The 'promotion coupon' we will issue will indicate your store location to promote your store."

"Of course, this is all voluntary... Moreover, the current publicity service is also completely free."

Finally, Zhu Fugui added this sentence.

He can be regarded as laying the groundwork for the future, 'currently free', so it may not be free in the future?Let you experience it first, and then cut leeks for a fee.

——This is the "essence of the goose factory" taught by Su Mu.

The shopkeepers below heard the words and started discussing again.

"With this kind of publicity, the profit of each book will be reduced by five cents, which is a bit of a loss!"

"That's right, it doesn't feel very reliable."

"Hey, I think instead: this promotion model is very interesting..."

"Small profits but quick turnover, I want to try."

"That's right, if you get five renminbi discounts, you'll get five renminbi discounts. This is still making money—those customers who bought books may have made money, but we definitely won't lose money!"

……

"I think shopkeeper Zhu is an honest person. The worst consequence is to make less money, so you can gamble!"

Thinking this way, Cao Yin gritted his teeth and chose to participate in the plan.

……

In the end, some shopkeepers participated in the 'promotion coupon' program, while others did not.

Zhu Fugui completed the counting of the list of participating bookstores, filled in the 'propaganda draft' that had been prepared a long time ago, and quickly sent it to the south of the city to print the leaflets.

but.

It is worth mentioning that the shopkeepers who arrived, without exception, each wholesaled more than a thousand books and left with excitement on their faces.

……

but said:

Cao Yin hired a bullock cart, took the thousand books he had brought, and returned to 'Wenmoxuan'.

Let the helper come out to unload the goods.

Excitedly, he went to get a wooden sign and wrote, "New book arrived: "Tianlong Babu", "Painted Skin", and "Journey to the West" first three volumes, the lowest price in the city is 59 articles! '

——That's right, the first three volumes, Su Mu put "Journey to the West" at the end of the printing, one volume earlier than Wang's "Zhuangyuanfang" book.

Finished.

Cao Yin thought of the plan of the 'publicity voucher', and added: 'If you buy a book with the 'publicity voucher', you can still get another 54 cents off, and you can take home [-] new books'.

Finish writing these.

He clapped his hands, took two steps back to look at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

at this time.

Cao Yin turned his head and looked back at the 'Zhuangyuanfang', and found an interesting thing.

A group of teenagers and half-children, wearing clean and tidy clothes, holding seven or eight books, hawked loudly nearby.

Their hawking slogans are also very bold.

"Sell books! Sell books! The latest story authorized by Zhenren Su is cheap!"

"The 59 articles of "Tianlong Babu", "Painted Skin", and the first three volumes of "Journey to the West" are combined into one book, all of which are 59 articles!"

"Do not miss passing through!"

"59 texts, you can't buy it to lose money, and you can't buy it to be fooled!"

……

Some customers who originally went to the 'Zhuangyuanfang' were attracted and began to inquire about the price.

see this scene.

Shopkeeper Kang brought Xiaoer along, bursting into anger, shouting and cursing loudly.

The children ran away immediately, but when shopkeeper Kang turned around, they came again after a while.

……

"Ha ha!"

Seeing this scene, Cao Yin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After all, his relationship with shopkeeper Nakang is far from good - he was even humiliated before!
at this time.

Cao Yin suddenly recalled: on the way back from transporting books, he passed by two bookstores under the jurisdiction of "Zhuangyuanfang", and seemed to see such children.

"Could it be that someone wants to deal with the Wang family? Maybe it's that shopkeeper Zhu and Master Su..."

In his heart, he faintly realized: "No wonder, those shopkeepers and I can get books at such a low price. This is also a disguised attack on 'Zhuangyuanfang'."

at this time.

A maid passed by, saw the wooden sign at the door, and immediately asked, "Shopkeeper, do you really have the latest "Journey to the West" in your store? Or is it 59 yuan?"

"Yes, yes, the new products just arrived, you come in and have a look?"

Cao Yin withdrew his thoughts, quickly smiled and entertained the guests.

……

Only a quarter of an hour.

Cao Yin sold seven or eight books, all of which were new books—however, these people bought them normally, and they didn't use any 'promotional coupons'.

Of course he doesn't care, there is no 'promotional coupon', it happens to be sold for 59 copies, so I can earn a little more.

……

After half an hour.

Suddenly a customer came over, holding a paper coupon and asked: "Shopkeeper, if you use this, can you really reduce or exempt 5 Wen?"

Cao Yin took it and saw that it was indeed the 'promotional coupon' style that he had seen in the 'Tongtian Inn'.

It's just that, now, many addresses are filled in the blank space below, which are the bookstores that joined this plan - and my 'Wenmoxuan' is one of them.

"The efficiency of shopkeeper Zhu is really high!"

Cao Yin sighed in his heart, and replied with a smile: "It is indeed possible. You used this, and these two books, which were originally 59 yuan, can now be taken away for 54 yuan."

"Hey, that's a good feeling!"

The guest paid the money happily and left happily.

Soon.

Among the guests who came again, seven or eight of the ten were holding 'promotional coupons'.

However, instead of being angry, Cao Yin was happy - after all, no matter how he sold it, he would still make money.

Moreover, there are obviously a lot more customers, this is small profits but quick turnover!
……

Wait till it gets dark.

When Cao Yinjin came back with a thousand books, he actually sold less than half of them.

Even so, there are still people coming in with 'promotional coupons' to buy books.

Cao Yin is making money like crazy!
This is not surprising.

People in the current era have never seen the method of 'promotional coupons', or they are greedy for cheap, or they are novelty, or they are simply for the fun... they are crazily attracted.

Needless to say what happened next.

It can be said that standing on the tuyere of the flow, pigs can fly!

……

evening.

Shopkeeper Yan of 'Caisi Pavilion' passed by and saw the prosperity of 'Wenmoxuan', his eyes were red: "The 'Promotion Coupon' plan, is it really useful? Tomorrow, tomorrow I must join!"

Like Cao Yin, he also went to the 'Tongtian Inn' to enter the book, which is true, but short-sighted, and did not join the 'Promotional Voucher' plan.

but.

Shopkeeper Yan walked forward and was happy again when he passed the 'Zhuangyuanfang'.

Without it.

In front of the gate of "Zhuangyuanfang", there are many rotten eggs and rotten leaves.

What is going on here?
It turned out that since other bookstores in the city began to sell at low prices, the 'Zhuangyuanfang' under the Wang family suddenly lost customers.

Oh no, it's not that there are no customers. To be precise: there are no customers who buy books, but some customers return books.

The 'Zhuangyuanfang' bookstore here is no exception.

In the afternoon, a group of people came to block the door, demanding to return the goods.

They also plausibly say:
"You sell it for 120 yuan, but the other side only sells it for 59 yuan. The quality is better than your book!"

"That's right, if you go to 'Zhuangyuanfang', won't your conscience hurt?"

"Return the product, return it to us!"

……

These furious guests almost smashed the 'Zhuangyuanfang'!

You should know: Those who can read and can afford books are basically in the middle and high levels of Xining City. With so many people, even if Wang Qingnan came in person, he would not be able to handle it!

There was no other way, shopkeeper Kang had no choice but to return the goods and refund the money, and he was about to cry.

"Quick, go and inform our Master Wang!"

Shopkeeper Kang has nothing to do, he can only report to the higher authorities.

……

night.

Cao Yin finished his busy day and returned home.

He is in a good mood today, humming a little song, holding an oiled paper bag in his left hand, and a bamboo tube of stale wine in his right, his face is flushed.

"The officer is back? Why is it so late today?"

"Business is good! Let me tell you..."

While talking, Cao Yin took off his jacket and handed it to his wife.

Mrs. Cao listened patiently, helped to take over the outer lining, dusted off the dust, and brought it into the back room.

"father!"

A seven or eight-year-old child twitched his nose twice, ran over, stared at the oil-paper bag with shining eyes, and asked, "Father, what is this?"

"Half a roast chicken, take it and put it on the table!"

Cao Yin smiled, quite proud - in fact, it is indeed something to be proud of to let the family eat a meal of meat from time to time.

"Hey!"

Xiao Cao promised, with a pleasant expression on his face, he quickly took the paper bag, put it on the table, and quickly ran to help serve the meal.

The meals are set.

As the head of the family, Cao Yin sat down on the throne.

He opened the paper bag, revealing half a roast chicken inside. It was steaming hot, shiny and pink, with a strong aroma of oil, which made people salivate involuntarily.

Just like Xiao Cao, staring at the fat chicken without blinking.

"Here are the chicken legs."

Cao Yin tore off the chicken leg and gave it to his son.

"Thank you dad."

Xiao Cao lowered his head and groaned while eating, without lifting his head.

"Chicken wings for you."

Cao Yin looked at his son, smiled and shook his head, then tore off the chicken wings, went to the side, and gave them to his wife.

"Thank you officer."

Cao's wife thanked her, but she turned her head and handed it to her son.

Although their husband and wife had a good relationship, they did not eat at the same table... However, she was already very satisfied to be able to sit down at the small table next to her, without having to wait until the father and son had eaten.

"My son has it, you can eat this piece yourself!"

Cao Yin picked up another large piece of chicken and gave it to Mrs. Zhang. Immediately, he scratched the neck of the chicken and talked about today's experience in detail with a bamboo tube of turbid wine.

When he mentioned the excitement, he was also beaming.

finally.

Go down for a meal.

Cao Yin was so drunk that he muttered: "Good times are coming. From now on, I... will have my own small printing workshop, and we... will eat meat every day..."

Mrs. Cao agreed with her husband, washing his feet, wiping his face, taking off his clothes, and moving him to the bed.

One day passed like this.

……

The next day.

Cao Yin's 'Wenmoxuan' continued its business as yesterday and is booming.

noon.

The "Zhuangyuanfang", which is diagonally opposite the door, suddenly lowered the price to the same 59 Wen.

This is considered a loss, but very few people still buy.

After all, at the same price, why would you buy a book of lower quality?
……

Shopkeeper Kang had no choice but to come to the door.

"Brother Cao, I have something to ask. That's it, I want to put some books of "Tian Long Ba Bu", "Painted Skin" and "Journey to the West" in your store for consignment, do you think?"

"Consignment?"

"Aren't the books of our two families all 59 yuan? I thought: put some of the books here with you, and you sell them for 59 yuan, and then return the money to me..."

"Shopkeeper Kang, your abacus is really good!"

Cao Yin almost laughed angrily: "This kind of consignment is of no benefit to me, 'Wenmoxuan', but because of the poor quality of your books in 'Zhuangyuanfang', you will get a bad reputation for nothing... You are not a scam! Me?"

"you……"

Shopkeeper Kang's face flashed with anger.

He didn't expect: Cao Yin didn't give face so much, but, thinking of the task suppressed by the Wang family, he still endured it.

"Brother Cao, hey, our friendship for so many years..." Shopkeeper Kang began to play the emotional card.

"Ha ha!"

When Cao Yin heard this, he just sneered.

So quickly, 'Brother Cao' became 'Brother Cao', what a feng shui turn!

but.

He also has a temper: "There is no need to discuss this matter again, and I will not send it away."

"Hey, it's a little thought from me..." Shopkeeper Kang gritted his teeth and handed over a money bag.

"Shopkeeper Kang, do you remember yesterday?"

Cao Yin sighed, only felt how similar this scene was.

He grabbed the purse, counted out the 'lost money' from yesterday, and threw the rest on the ground: "Shopkeeper Kang, I'll still say the same thing: there's nothing to talk about!"

"Cao..."

"see a visitor out!"

"Please!" The hired helper stepped forward immediately.

"you you you……"

Shopkeeper Kang finally couldn't help it, and was furious: "What the hell, Cao, you don't want to mention a book with me in the future..."

"Get out!" Cao Yin scowled and picked up the broom.

"You wait...don't come to beg me in the future..."

Shopkeeper Kang hurriedly backed away, said a few harsh words, and walked away in despair.

"Ha ha."

Cao Yin looked at Shopkeeper Kang's back and sneered.

He remembered what shopkeeper Zhu said when he went to 'Tongtian Inn' to pick up the goods in the morning: "Our printing workshop has also started to undertake printing business, and if we want to pick up the goods in the future, even if you come here, it will definitely be cheaper than other places..."

With this guarantee, are you still afraid of the Wang family's "Zhuangyuanfang"?
……

Not long after Shopkeeper Kang left, two or three servants, pulling a cart full of books, stopped at the door.

Cao Yin recognized that this was the person from 'Tongtian Inn'.

"Hey, what are you?" He immediately went up to meet him.

"Shopkeeper Cao, our boss has a notice: From now on, the wholesale price of this batch of books will be reduced to 39 yuan, and the selling price should not be higher than [-] yuan... Unsold books can be recycled at the wholesale price..."

"hiss!"

Cao Yin gasped when he heard this, and thought to himself: "This is to kill the Wang family!"

after?

The Wang family, as well as the 'Zhuangyuanfang', probably have no future.

……

Two days passed.

The business of Cao Yin's 'Wenmoxuan' continues to flourish.

……

It was early in the morning.

The hired helper suddenly said gossipingly: "Shopkeeper, have you heard about it? The Wang family is the Wang family of the 'Zhuangyuanfang'. It's over!"

"Oh?"

"It is said that the business was robbed, a large number of orders were breached, wages were owed to the workers, and various payments were due... There are also gossip that the Zhang family made a move!"

"Is that so?"

Cao Yin murmured, and at the same time he sighed in his heart, there was wild hope: "The Wang family has fallen, maybe my 'Wenmoxuan' can also get a share of this feast?"

at this time.

The rising sun was shining brightly, covering the whole earth.

……

A new day, a day full of hope, begins.
