Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 26 Is there such a good thing?

"The shopkeeper is absurd." Shen Chenlan said modestly.

Seeing the good words, the shopkeeper was overjoyed, and turned around to take out the book that had been pressed for a long time in the bookcase.

Then he said: "Little brother, I have a precious collection here, with more than two thousand characters on it, and I have been reluctant to let others copy it, lest those sloppy scholars damage my book. Your characters are beautiful, and I can count three thousand characters for you." You, this book, if you copy a copy, I will give you one or two halves."

Oh?
There are other good things.

Shen Chenlan said: "Success, I will copy ten copies for you first."

The shopkeeper was taken aback, but he became worried for him, "It's not easy to copy ten copies of two thousand characters at once, will my little brother be able to bear it?"

He was not worried that he would not be able to sell if he copied too much.

I'm just worried that this person is talking big, and I won't be able to copy the whole book by then.

And wasted his paper.

Shen Chenlan said: "Please rest assured, this book will be returned to you in a month, and the other ten books will be brought along with you."

A month later, their family is reckoning that they will also go to the city to buy, and then they will come together.

And this book is [-] words per book, which is more than enough for him.

In the past, it took more than [-] characters to write a composition, and it also required standardized fonts and no typos.

Although it is not as strict as copying books, as long as you are careful and spend some time, you can always finish copying in a month.

"Success." Seeing that the scholar was full of confidence, the shopkeeper agreed, "However, although this copy of mine is also a reprint, it is also rare. If you take the copied book away, you will also have to pay an additional deposit. For the paper, I will temporarily Your deposit will not be charged, you can copy carefully, don't waste the paper, I will pick a better paper for you."

"Okay." Shen Chenlan nodded, "How much is the deposit for this book?"

"One tael is enough, but if this book is sold, it will cost more than one tael, so be careful little brother." The shopkeeper said.

"Okay." Shen Chenlan thought for a while, then said, "That's just right, I just saw a few books over there, can you also mortgage them to copy them for me? These books have a lot of repetitive content, so it's not a bad idea to buy them. Good deal."

The shopkeeper was taken aback, but he didn't expect the little brother to just stand there and flip through a few pages, only to discover the mystery hidden in these books.

They had been selling books for a long time before they found out.

The little brother has a unique vision.

He said: "It's no problem to lend you these books. Many scholars have copied these books. My bookstore is not short of them. You can take them away and copy them."

Then, Shen Chenlan bought some cheap paper and ink, picked out a relatively cost-effective pen, and then turned around and left the door with these things.

This time, including the money for copying books as a mortgage, the total cost is almost three taels.

Shen Chenlan didn't have enough money on hand, so she went back to Jiang Ning to get some.

Fortunately, they brought enough money and sold ready-made clothes to make up together.

Only then did Shen Chenlan realize how expensive this study was for ancient people.

Not to mention paper, just an ink ingot costs half a tael of silver.

He bought the one with the worst quality.

If the quality of Hui ink and pine smoke ink is good, the price will be more than this.

As soon as the people here left, the young man stood beside the shopkeeper, looked at the back of the scholar going away, and asked cautiously: "Boss, this is the first time we meet, why did you take out such a valuable book for him to copy? There is no deposit for those papers, what if he runs away? And he also said that the books we sell are not good.”

He didn't understand what was repeated.

The shopkeeper glanced at the waiter, stroked his beard, and said leisurely: "Look at the person, this person has an extraordinary conversation. I think he will have great promise in the future. Now he is just seizing the opportunity. Sometimes life is a huge gamble."

Moreover, their books do have a lot of repetition.

It's just that these scholars believe in famous masters, no matter what the content is, everyone who comes from a famous teacher must have a copy.
