The Path of the Peasant Girl

Chapter 120 Chapter 119
Zuo Hua's words were written quickly, and the story was written very smoothly. After the first part was finished, he went to the county with Zuo Shi and sent the story to several bookstores for sales.

Zuo Hua was very nervous. The night before, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When he woke up the next day, he had big dark circles under his eyes.

When entering the door of the store, she was always dragged into it.

As soon as I walked in the door of the store, I went directly to the shopkeeper in the store.

"The shopkeeper, my uncle, a scholar in my family, recently had nothing to do and wrote a story, but he didn't want others to know that he wrote the story, so he sent me and my sister to your place to bring this story. Let me show you, can you see if this story is still eye-catching, can you sell it here?"

The shopkeeper seemed to be two little girls. He didn't care about it at first, but Zuo Shi spoke very fluently, and she was also knowledgeable, so he put away his casual look, picked them up and handed them over. Then I took a few glances at the notebook.

Then he asked with unsatisfactory meaning: "It's over? What's the story behind?"

Zuo Shi smiled and said, "My uncle hasn't written the story yet. He said that he would sell a copy first. After the shopkeeper sells it back, if it sells well, she will continue to write it down. If it doesn't sell well, Then don't write any more."

The shopkeeper clapped his palm and slapped his thigh hard: "How can this be done? If I sell a story with no ending, I will be scolded to death. You go back quickly and ask your uncle to write the following story. .”

After thinking about it, the shopkeeper couldn't wait: "Otherwise, I'll go back with you to meet your uncle and talk to him. I can accept this story."

He must persuade their uncle to write this story. He has a hunch that this story will be welcomed by everyone.

Because this story gathers all the points that men like to watch, there are officialdom, beauties, bandits, both civil and military, smooth view, and fighting blood... All kinds of things that men like are in this story Yes, so why worry about the story not selling well?

Zuo Hua's eyes were flustered.

Where is the uncle?Obviously he wrote it himself, she couldn't figure out why he said that, but she absolutely couldn't agree to the shopkeeper, go to their house to find the so-called uncle, wouldn't that be revealing?
Just listen to always say: "The shopkeeper, my uncle said that you take this story and take it first, just take one step, and he will come out a few times later. If it sells well, then it will be harder. If the wheat is not good. The shopkeeper , you can also make adjustments according to the situation, and you won’t lose that much anyway, right?”

"When doing business, you still have to leave a way out for yourself. If the sales are not good, the shopkeeper can lose less money. If the sales are good, think about it. The first volume of this story was bought well. Those who want to read the second volume must definitely I will come to your place to make a reservation."

"When the time comes, we can print more and sell more. You can also prepare in advance, and the last book can bring as many customers as one book. Isn't it better?"

When the shopkeeper heard it, he was stunned for a moment, thinking about Zuo Shi's words carefully, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.

I couldn't help laughing out loud: "Yes, yes, yes, that's it, that's fine, just sell a copy first."

Zuo Shi: "The shopkeeper is wise, how much do you think this book can sell for?"

Zuo Huaxin raised it and stared straight at the shopkeeper. She wanted to know how much she could sell for her book, and it was time to test the results.

When it came to money, the shopkeeper couldn't help but put away the joy on his face.

Although he was very optimistic about this story and felt that it could fetch a high price, his nature as a businessman made him unable to resist lowering the price in order to strive for more profits.

But he was also afraid that the price he gave would be too low, and the story would be missed, and there was still a second book, and the shopkeeper had already thought about how to run the story well, publicize it, and earn more money.

After comprehensive consideration, the shopkeeper finally said, "One hundred taels of silver."

After thinking about it, he added: "If the quantity and quality of the photo album are the same as this time, I will also give 100 taels."

"If you agree, we can make a deed now."

Zuo Hua gasped, he didn't expect that he could sell 100 taels for a drawing book, he just wrote at home intermittently for more than ten days, and he could earn so much money?

Zuo Hua's eyes sparkled, his breathing began to rise sharply, and he wished he could jump up on the spot. The excitement of righteousness made him unable to suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

But she still had to remember in the end, the ecstasy that wanted to tilt up, her little face flushed from holding back, and she firmly held Zuo Shi's hand.

Zuo Shi shook her hand back, and patted the back of her hand lightly, signaling her not to worry, everything was hers.

Zuo Shi said: "The shopkeeper, I have another way to split the money, can you see if it works?"

The shopkeeper became interested: "Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the 100 taels of silver? Let me tell you. If your story is not good, I think it is worth the price, so I would not give such a high price. Generally, newcomers give ten taels, 20 taels of silver. Two will do. This is really a very honest price for me.”

If you are not satisfied with the price, are greedy, and want more money, then the shopkeeper will say that there is nothing you can do to help.

"I've paid for it. If you want to add more, then I may not be able to come up with it. Would you like to go to another bookstore?"

"Little girl, don't be too greedy, even if you let your uncle come, he will not pick out the fault. There are no good-hearted people like me in other stores."

Zuo Shi kept slandering in his heart, you are indeed kind, but what is the meaning of this faint threat?

Zuo Shidao: "What the shopkeeper said is that you are indeed a kind person, but I have another layering method, which is beneficial to both of us. You might as well listen to it."

"Oh, what method?" The shopkeeper became interested.

Zuo Shidao: "For this first booklet, I want to collect money according to the sales volume. At the beginning of the book, I charged ten taels of silver. The shopkeeper took the book to sell, printing, labor, sales, etc., and the shopkeeper paid for it himself. Let’s do it, according to [-]% to [-]%, you [-]% and I [-]%, how many copies will be sold at that time, the shopkeeper will give us how much money. How about it?”

"Of course, if the regular ones are afraid of risks and are unwilling to pay for these manual printing costs, I can also pay 100 taels of silver to share this risk with the shopkeeper. The division is reversed, I seven you three. How does the shopkeeper feel?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes widened and he kept blinking at her.
