Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 211 Prenatal Anxiety

Since the teahouse was closed these days, no one urged her to ask for a storybook, so she felt a lot more relaxed. After all, storytellers are always faster than book writers.

Although during the Chinese New Year, what she thought was that each book would be talked about twice a day, and the things she wrote could last three to five months, but she really underestimated everyone's enthusiasm. In just this month, she The manuscripts she had written were almost bottomed out, which was why some people made trouble, and she didn't want to do anything but closed the door directly. The main reason was to take this opportunity to take a break and save some manuscripts.

Anyway, if there is no story book, her teahouse will be closed, why not take this opportunity to close it for two days, and at the same time, take advantage of these two days, she asked Li Yongwen and Feng Yongkang to sort out some story books, so that they can be spoken together Otherwise, she would not be able to do it with ten hands just by herself.

In the beginning, she was enthusiastic about opening a teahouse, but now the problem came, she gave her a blow. It’s fine to open this teahouse temporarily. If there is no new book, her teahouse will gradually become different from other teahouses. There is no difference in teahouses, they can only make some small money, which is obviously not what she wants.

It is her printing workshop that can really make money. Nowadays, everyone does not know that it is movable type printing, and they all think that she is engraving printing, but in fact, her printing workshop is much faster than others imagined.

Today's books are expensive, and they are all hand-copied, but if they are hand-copied, there will inevitably be mistakes and omissions. There are several mistakes and omissions in each book, and the mistakes will be even more outrageous later.

In the case of movable type printing, although there will be mistakes and omissions, as long as you check carefully the first time, there will be almost no mistakes or omissions later. In addition to printing these scriptures, you can also print some poetry magazines, newspapers, etc., without worrying. Can't find a way out.

Anyway, printing, maybe some people will ask Liu Man'er to help print their own books and periodicals at their own expense. to money.

After thinking about the keynote of the future, Liu Man'er didn't worry about anything. As for President Chen and others who wanted to buy books from her, they came to her door three days later.

This time, Liu Man'er didn't give them a chance to bargain, and said to Han Shixin very stiffly: "Just thirty cents a copy, less than this price for interview."

In other words, if they still wanted to bargain, she wouldn't even bother to see them.

Maybe people have such low bones. The more she said that she didn't want to meet, the more these people wanted to see her. In the end, Han Shixin had no choice but to bring President Chen and others over.

When Liu Man'er saw them coming, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This is a buyer's market and a seller's market.In the beginning, it was a buyer’s market. I beg you, but you ignored me. This is a seller’s market, and it’s your turn to beg us.

"President Chen, are you here all right?" Seeing that Han Shixin had led President Chen into the door, Liu Man'er put away her smile and sat upright.

"I'm not feeling well these days." President Chen sat down half-jokingly and half-seriously, and said, "I also hope that shopkeeper Ye can help me."

"President Chen, if you have something to say, please speak directly. Don't beat around the bush again. If you want to buy our books, just tell Shopkeeper Han that he is in charge of the printing workshop. He will help you if you need anything. I'm a small boy." What convenience can a woman give you?" Liu Man'er is a lazy person, and really doesn't want to talk to them anymore.

She didn't wear a veil this time either, and there was already a hint of impatience on her face. President Chen and the old fritters had no choice but to put away those polite words, and said directly: "That's right, this time we plan to buy a thousand copies each. I've read your book, it's already the third volume, right?"

"Your news is a bit old. I've already written the sixth volume." Liu Man'er said, "If you want six thousand volumes, Uncle Han will do the math for them, thirty cents a piece, how much will six thousand volumes cost?" , directly pay the money, sign the contract, set the delivery date, and then deliver the goods. Don’t come to me for every little thing. Uncle Han, who is so twisted and twisted, please discuss it with them outside, so don’t bother me."

I'm not a salesman, I'm still a chairman even now, why are you guys always talking to me, I'm just getting ready to take a break, and you want to bother me with this little thing.

Hearing her tone was already very unpleasant, and Han Shixin had no choice but to see what President Chen and the others said, shook his head helplessly, and then said to Liu Man'er: "Boss, we talked outside just now, and they want to Buy it for twenty pennies."

"How is this possible? How difficult is it for us to do this? Didn't you tell President Chen and others? Or what I said that day was not clear enough. Why do you come to me for such a trivial matter? It's impossible to do it with twenty coins!" Liu Man'er immediately turned her face:
"Everyone thinks I'm a vegetable market here, come here to bargain for nothing, I'm not a pork seller, I run a printing workshop, clearly marked prices, innocent and innocent, what do these people want?"

A woman who seemed to be quite gentle just now suddenly yelled like a shrew out of nowhere, which made people feel a little inexplicable. Although she was scolding Han Shixin, she pointed out that she was really pointing fingers and scolding Huai, which made President Chen and others feel a little embarrassed.

The problem is, after Liu Man'er finished scolding, she calmed down again in an instant, and apologized very sincerely to President Chen and the others: "I'm sorry, I'm too emotional, please don't mind."

"It's okay, it's okay." President Chen and the others are book sellers anyway, so they still need some face.

Liu Man'er really doesn't know why she wanted to curse people all of a sudden just now, she is really tired of these old guys, they are all crazy, how can she have so many things to waste with them, I really want to say: buy it, buy it, if you don't buy it, go away !
"I still say the same thing, an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, time is money, procrastination, what big things can be achieved!" After stabbing them a few words, Liu Man'er said to Uncle Han: "Okay, Uncle Han, you take Let President Chen and the others go to the front hall to entertain, I don't treat guests in a personal way, these things are trivial matters, I believe you can handle them well, right?"

"I know." Uncle Han has never seen Liu Man'er like this before. One moment she was normal, but the next moment it was like a volcanic eruption. Seeing her slightly angry face, he didn't know what else to say. He quickly said a few words of apology to President Chen and the others, not daring to be an eyesore in front of Liu Man'er, and took them to the front hall to discuss.

After they left, Liu Man'er calmed down slowly. She didn't know why she was getting angry suddenly, maybe it was prenatal anxiety, Liu Man'er felt that she would be easily irritated now.

Putting down her pen, she walked out of the door, intending to relax. During this period of time, she stayed in the study room almost every day, and it was really almost suffocating, but wandering around was just walking around in this yard. If she went out, Fang refused to let her go, she was afraid of being bumped into, and she was also a little worried.

"Mother, what's bothering you?" Seeing her standing by the side of the road looking at these flowers and plants in a daze, Yun Niang walked over from behind her.

"Just call me Man'er." Yun Niang is the embroiderer in the family, and she has not sold herself to her. Maybe she will be her sister-in-law. Liu Man'er still respects her quite a bit.

"Okay, Man'er, I seem to have heard you scolding those people in the bookstore just now, has something happened?"

Yunniang's soft words, like a drizzle, penetrated into Liu Man'er's heart finely, which relieved Liu Man'er's heart a lot. She pursed her lips and said: "It's okay, I'm too rude, listen It annoys me when they try to haggle with me and talk about it."

"You've been pretending too much recently, and you're under too much pressure." Yun Niang walked to her side, helped her to sit on the stone pier in the yard, and said, "Don't think too much, keep a good mood, The most important thing is to give birth to the child."

"Yeah." Liu Man'er nodded, and said again: "It's all Uncle Han, and I can't do well to explain small things to him. He always comes to ask me. I'm really annoyed. I'm already on my due date. They are so angry that my child dare not be born."

Hearing Liu Man'er's words, Yunniang couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth with a smile, and said: "Actually, Uncle Han has done a good job. After all, he was just a small steward before, even if he was the shopkeeper of a restaurant before, but at that time after all With the help of the Yan family, he doesn't need to use his brain, just settle accounts, but it's different now, Uncle Han is also working hard."

"I know he's working hard, so I just complained casually." Liu Man'er sighed. She has to carry a lot of things in this family, and she can't tell others. In fact, she is very annoyed. She is pregnant with a child. Well, the child's father doesn't know how to live or die, and she has to bear huge debts and take care of the whole family, so why is she so unlucky.

"Boss, I finally found you." The two were talking, Han Shixin ran over sweating profusely, Liu Man'er turned her head away when she heard the voice, sighed faintly, her eyes were sad, "What's the matter?"

Seeing Liu Man'er's resentful eyes, Han Shixin shuddered inexplicably, and hurriedly lowered his head to talk about the business: "President Chen and the others said that it costs 25 yuan a copy, and they order [-] copies at a time. Will we sell it?"

Liu Man'er didn't want to sell at first, but she really didn't have the mood to bargain with them anymore, so she could only nod her head and said weakly: "Sell. There are just a few things I want to tell you:

First, I'm going to give birth in a few days and I want to take a break. If you have something to do, you can take care of it yourself and don't bother me. Second, you need to read the contract carefully, don't let them take advantage of loopholes, and let them pay first. At least half of the deposit must be paid; thirdly, for the printing workshop, recruit as soon as possible, but you still have to pay attention to confidentiality. When printing, you must carefully check the printed embryos, and the typesetting must be careful. Two special inspections are set up People, avoid stringing pages, mistakes and omissions. "

"Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing Liu Man'er's tired face, Han Shixin was too embarrassed to disturb her again. After carefully writing down these points, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and strode away.

Liu Man'er also breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer cared about these business matters, but asked Yun Niang: "Yun Niang, do you know that my mother contacted Wen Po for me?"
