Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 705 She Is A Winky Little Girl

Since Nanling was in a hurry to ask Liu Ya to take the books away, Liu Ya said, "I'll drive over tomorrow and take all the books away. Please wrap them in oiled paper for me, or fifty volumes in a stack, so I can take them easily. "

Nanling agreed, and then asked Liu Ya if the second volume would still be printed in a thousand copies.

Liu Ya nodded and said: "That's right, there are still so many printed. However, you have saved all the templates from the first volume. When you need to print more and which volume to print, I will let you know."

As soon as Nanling heard that there was a possibility of reprinting, he said to Liu Ya: "Little master, if it is only printed once, the price of this book will be high, because it takes the most effort for the master and apprentice to carve the template. But if you If you want to print more, I will give you a cost price for all the books in the future, as long as the paper and ink plus the cost of binding are enough. And the more you print, the cheaper the price I will give you, you can see if it works ?”

Liu Ya smiled and said: "That's the best. Brother Nanling, don't worry, my family is poor, and I won't spend my money casually. So this book must make money Yes, if you sell more, you will naturally have to print more, and I plan to ask you to print all the books here."

Nanling was naturally happy to hear that.But he wouldn't say anything nice, he just assured Liu Ya that the few conditions she raised would be fulfilled seriously.

Liu Ya took fifty books first, and asked Nanling the name of the relatively large bookstore in the north of the city, and was going to do business with another bookstore.

It is not difficult to find bookstores in the north of the city, because the houses here are all high-end and big families, not small and small families crowded together.You have to walk a long distance to find a house, and after walking through a few doors, you will see the bookstore.

From the outside, the bookstore doesn't look that big, but the plaque on the door looks very old, it should be a bookstore with a long history.

While Liu Ya was standing at the door with a stack of books looking around, an old man with a short beard came out from the door and asked Liu Ya, "Girl, do you want to buy the Four Treasures of the Study, or do you want to bring some letters and letters from home?"

Liu Ya took a little look at the old man, and saw that he was wearing a long gown and a square scarf on his head. He was very thin, but his eyes were hale and hearty, and he had a good bearing.Then he politely blessed Fushen, and said: "Hello old sir, I'm here to see if there are any miscellaneous books for sale here."

"Miscellaneous books?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Little girl, you are not good at reading miscellaneous books. Girls should read books such as "Girl Ring", "Internal Training" and "Nvhong".

Liu Ya hurriedly waved her hand and said, "The old man made a mistake. It's not that I want to read it, but that I want to sell it. I have a miscellaneous book here, which is quite novel and beautiful. I want the old man to sell some for me." After finishing, Liu Ya raised the book in her hand.

Maybe the old man thought that the little girl Liu Ya was interesting, or maybe he heard her say "sell on behalf of others", so he didn't shirk and chased her away, so he asked Liu Ya to come in with him.

While walking into the bookstore, Liu Ya asked casually, "Mr., are you the manager here?"

"Well, that's right. I'm old, and I can only look after the store, and I can't do other jobs." After finishing speaking, he pointed to a chair opposite the counter and said, "Little girl, sit down and give me the book." Let's take a look first, okay?"

Liu Ya nodded, put the book on the counter, took out one and handed it to the old man, saying: "Old man, please read slowly, don't be in a hurry."

The old man nodded, and while flipping through the pages of the book, he walked towards the door and said, "I'm getting old, I really can't read this word clearly in the house, so I can only read in the bright light outside. You sit, sit and wait."

Liu Ya agreed, but still didn't sit down.Instead, when the old man chose to stand at a place with good sunlight and suitable brightness at the door and was ready to turn over the book, he picked up a stool and walked out, placing it behind the old man.

When the old man turned his head, seeing Liu Ya's wink, he smiled slightly and said, "My good boy, there are very few children who are as sensible as you are now." After speaking, he sat down and flipped through the book page by page.

Liu Ya didn't say anything, and didn't go back to the house, she just stood quietly behind the old man and waited silently for him to watch.At the same time, he was also secretly observing the expression on the side face of the old man.

After reading a few pages, the old man frowned visibly, then raised the book in his hand, and moved closer to read the words on it.After reading a few more pages, the old man's hands were a little too high, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked more carefully.

From the position where Liu Ya was standing, one could see half of the expression on the old man's face. Seeing that his face was becoming more and more formal, she already knew it in her heart.

Waiting until the old man watched the kung fu for nearly a stick of incense, Liu Ya stood quietly without moving.It wasn't until the old man breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head from the page that Liu Ya took a step forward and said, "Thank you, old man, for reading this book seriously. Are you tired? Shall I help you enter the room and pour you a glass of water?" ?”

"No, no, no." The old man waved his hand quickly, with a smile on his face, he held up the book in his hand and asked, "Where did you buy this book?"

"To be honest, old man, I found someone to write it for me, and our family found a book printing workshop to print it." Liu Ya said: "Our family is poor, and the money for printing books is crowded and crowded. So I want to We need to find a reliable bookstore to help us sell these books. Because we still want the money we earn from selling books to pay for my younger brother’s education.”

These words are half-truths and half-false, but what Liu Ya said is absolutely sincere.The old man nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and said: "I hope your younger brother goes to school? You really have a heart, even if the family is poor, the child should still go to school."

Liu Ya immediately asked: "What does the old gentleman mean, that he can sell these books for us?"

"Then I don't know, how do you sell this book?" After the old gentleman finished speaking, he explained: "I also sell miscellaneous books here, but it's just those rich boys who have nothing to do in the school to read and play." Yes. They don’t have much character, and they probably won’t read it if it’s not fun to read, so I can’t guarantee that your book will sell well if I put it here.”

Liu Ya said: "Old man, what if I say that these books are for others to read? Can you help me give these books to those who usually come to buy miscellaneous books?"

"Send?" The old man frowned slightly, and immediately reacted.Asked Liu Ya in surprise: "Little girl, you have to think about it, do you really want to spend so much money to promote your book?"

Liu Ya said: "Well, I know my book, as long as people read it, they will come to buy it. As long as the old man is willing to help me, just give the book away."

"Okay, courageous." The old man clapped his hands and said, "To be honest, this book is really well written. Even an old man like me likes to read it."
