A piece of paper

Chapter 381 It's a feeling
As soon as the new chapter of Xiao Fu and Ai Rong came out, more than ten bookstores rushed to publish the single issue. Once it was launched in the streets and alleys, the sales of the books at the end of the block and those at the front of the block were basically the same. In terms of making money, the front of the block stores definitely made more money, but the stamina of the books at the end of the block was better because of the long-term success.

For example, in October, we heard that people from surrounding areas such as Cangzhou, Luanping, and Guangfu also came to the Fangwei store to buy.

There is even a purchasing agency business.

Yes, that's right.

In the surrounding counties, there were vendors pretending to be customers buying paper. They were very generous when they bought it, buying it at two hundred dollars a piece, then secretly transporting it back and selling it at a price of one hundred coins a piece. Xianjin originally thought that this was a rare scene in this era, but Qiqiqi laughed after hearing it and said, "It's just a trader, traveling all over the country, using goods from the north to make money in the south."

Qiqiqi then said, "We can limit purchases in our store. Each person can only buy a certain amount of paper at a time. Boss Qiang and Boss Yao worked hard to make the paper, and Zhen Sanlang worked hard to ship it over, but in the end, these profiteers made all the money."

Xianjin shook his head with a smile: "Let them buy, tell Xuancheng Prefecture and Jing County to buy more goods in the next few months, don't hide the paper in the warehouse, move it to Zhen Sanlang's ship, and ask Xiong Fuyin for more seals for the grain transport, and the brothers on the ship will be paid an extra 500 coins for each trip--" Xianjin smiled: "If we can grab this big business, it will be ours."

Qiqiqi glanced at Manager Xiaodong who was holding his hands and keeping silent, then looked at Xianjin, and held back in silence.

Xianjin glanced at Xiaodong and said, "Take care of Li's sister-in-law, Zheng Da Ge and Zheng Er Ge for a few days, and let them get familiar with the business process of 'Xuan Paper'."

Then he turned to Manager Zhong and said, "Prepare eight more people, six young girls and two older martial arts masters with some skills. Female masters are preferred."

Manager Zhong responded with "OK" and said, "Are we finally going to start working on our third shop?"

Xianjin smiled and nodded: "If you don't make money, you will lose money. The sooner you take action, the sooner you will get your money back."

Qiqiqi glanced at Manager Xiao Dong who was holding his hands motionless and gave him a thumbs up in his heart: This guy is really awesome, he is not curious about anything. Doesn't he really want to know what the boss is going to do with the third shop he bought?

Qiqiqi couldn't help but admire Manager Xiao Dong for his calm expression even when facing a huge crisis.

No one knew that Manager Xiao Dong, who was neither happy nor sad because of material things, was standing there calmly.

His body is still here, but his soul has gone to the distant Altay - he bought a book about herders yesterday and was really yearning for it. Although he wasn't quite sure why he could herd sheep all over the mountains without getting lost, he was still very yearning for it!
The third shop is located in Shandefang, east of Jiqingfang.

Different from Jiqingfang, which is mostly inhabited by noble officials, Shandefang is mostly inhabited by wealthy and powerful families. The Marquis Zhongwu, who was granted the right to live in the former residence of the abdicated emperor, is the only family in Jiqingfang with a red-lettered iron certificate.

Shan De Fang has a good location, facing south and facing the main street. The shops around it are either rouge and powder shops, gold and silver jewelry shops, or silk and clothing shops. There are also some businesses such as velvet flowers and hairpins that girls like. It is also large in size, formed by the merger of two shops. When you go around the screen wall, you can see the large courtyard and the scattered bamboo houses and thatched roofs surrounding the courtyard.

There are twelve small ponds scattered in the courtyard. The ponds are not big, about one meter long and wide, and look cute and miniature. There are silver plates hung beside the ponds, which are engraved with the beginning of spring, awakening of insects, Qingming, beginning of summer, and grain in ear. These are the twelve solar terms. Small flowers and plants are planted around the ponds, and the flower species match the seasons perfectly, which looks naturally beautiful and exquisite.

The shop is named "Pinxuan".

Nowadays, in the capital city, anyone with the word "Xuan" in their name can easily become popular.

One or two days after Pinxuan opened, one or two young girls poked their heads in to try it out. Through the screen wall, they vaguely saw a young lady in the courtyard, half lying on a bamboo rocking chair. She was wearing a light brown long skirt with indigo trim.

The older girl had fair skin and a pretty face. She leaned against the wall calmly and composedly. When she heard the "ding-ling-ling" sound of the wind chimes at the door, she put down the book in her hand, turned half sideways, and looked over there, avoiding the blocking screen. Seeing that it was two little girls who had stumbled upon her by accident, she pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled a faint smile that had nothing to do with the frost and snow in early winter.

"Teng——" The two little girls' faces suddenly turned red.

From forehead to chin, cheeks were hopelessly red.

A little girl was running out in panic, pulling at her companion's sleeve, and the maid behind her was chasing her relentlessly. For the first time, she felt the strength of her own lady's legs.

The next day, the two little girls came again, shyly holding hands and entering "Pinxuan". The courtyard was still elegant and leisurely. The tall and graceful sister from yesterday was arranging flowers and grass by the first row of ponds.

"You...what does your shop do?" The girl's surname is Rong, and her grandfather is Marquis Chengbei. Although there are no officials in the family now, they live a comfortable life relying on the huge clan and sacrificial fields for a living.

Xianjin put down the copper scissors and smiled: "Girl, you can make your own rice paper here. The pulp and water in the pool are properly proportioned. There are two of you. You can use the bamboo rack to scoop out the paper. No matter how many sheets you scoop, you can go to the inner room to dry them by the wall - you can get your own rice paper."

Little Miss Rong blinked.

Make your own rice paper?
What kind of game is this!

"If you are tired, you can also go into the enclosed house. You can use rice paper to make paper fans, paper lanterns, paper velvet hairpins or small umbrellas. There are also snacks, books and incense. It would be great to put a few handkerchiefs together, drink tea, make paper and spend a good afternoon. " Xianjin gently placed the small pine tree he was fiddling with next to the pool. There was no smell of the fishy smell of grass and trees wet by the paper pulp water, only the faint fragrance of melons and fruits.

Well, with handicraft DIY, adding a sense of atmosphere, adding private space, and adding a fragrant scent, whether in the future or now, isn’t it easy to capture a few girls?
If the food was better and the boss was more handsome, there would be no problem of girls not coming.

Delicious food is a must, and Zhang Ma carefully selects and guarantees quality.

The boss needs to be more handsome, which is a bit difficult. Xianjin thought about making Zhou Ergou a rough man to attract customers, but when he looked up, he saw Dog Master picking his nose. Xianjin immediately gave up the idea: such a rare delicacy should be left to Suoer alone!
Although the boss is not handsome, as people in later generations said, a husband is not a gender but a feeling.

For some reason, Xianjin just happened to have this talent - you can get a glimpse of it from the blushing little girl Rong in front of him.
