Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 213

Finally, when Liu Man'er was confinement, during this period of time, Han Shixin was running the printing workshop and the teahouse, but he was in a hurry. He was afraid that he could not do well, and wanted to discuss many things with Liu Man'er, so Liu Man'er was confinement. The next day, Han Shixin came to report to Liu Man'er with a stack of ledgers in his arms.

Now that there is one more child, Liu Man'er has more things to do. After feeding the baby, she handed the child over to Fang's care before coming to the study.

"Uncle Han, how is our business doing these days?" Compared to Uncle Han, Liu Man'er was equally anxious. Although she told herself that there was nothing to worry about with Uncle Han around, in reality, she was always a little worried.

"Just about to talk to my boss about this." Han Shixin handed over the account in her hand, and Liu Man'er slowly flipped through it. When she saw a page on the account book, her hand that turned the page stopped slightly, "It looks like , Our business has been doing well during this time.”

"It's pretty good." Han Shixin said: "The main thing is that the owner's book is well-written and very popular. Didn't the people from the bookstore come to us last time and bought [-] copies? After a while, they came back every volume. I bought [-] copies, a total of [-] copies, but this time I decided to lower the price by another five cents."

Liu Man'er frowned upon hearing that, and was about to speak, Han Shixin said, "This time they paid the full amount."

"Oh." Liu Man'er nodded and said, "No wonder, anyway, you are the one who manages this printing workshop. If there is a lot of turnover, it will be cheaper if it is cheaper."

"Well, after excluding labor and paper and ink, we have earned 800 taels in just over a month." Han Shixin said happily.

"That's right." Liu Man'er nodded, and asked again: "Then, have you delivered this batch of [-] books?"

"Not yet." Han Shixin shook his head and said, "But we have already printed these books and put them in the warehouse, waiting for them to come and pick them up."

"Let them take it away as soon as possible." Liu Man'er frowned after hearing this, feeling a conspiracy for no reason, and said, "This book is no more likely to catch fire than other things. You must be careful." No lights are allowed in the storeroom."

"I see." Han Shixin nodded, "I will let them be careful."

After reporting this matter, Han Shixin said again: "By the way, our teahouse has not opened for a long time. Many book customers are in a hurry, so I decided to reopen it."

"Yeah." Liu Man'er nodded, took the account book of the teahouse, and opened it slowly, seeing that the turnover seemed to be good, she asked a little strangely: "By the way, during this time, no one came to make trouble? "

"No." Han Shixin shook his head, with a hint of joy on his face, and said, "Now I guess no one would dare to come to our teahouse to make trouble."

"Why is that?" Liu Man'er looked up at him with puzzlement in her eyes.

"It's better that the owner's script is well written. Even the magistrate's wife likes to listen to it. Before we closed the door, we asked Feng Yongkang to tell her several times. Now she occasionally comes to our shop to listen. In this way, who Dare to make trouble?" Speaking of this, Han Shixin is quite proud.

Liu Man'er was also very happy when she heard that, and said, "Then, have you set up a private seat for Madam Magistrate?"

"I redecorated it when our teahouse was closed, and specially made two private rooms."

"Not bad, not bad, I didn't expect Uncle Han to be so business-minded now." Liu Man'er nodded repeatedly, but I didn't expect Uncle Han to disappear for a month, and it was Wuxia Ameng.

"The boss is absurd, and I'm learning slowly." Hearing Liu Man'er's praise, Uncle Han's old face felt a little red, but his heart was like a child's, and he was delighted by a compliment.

"How about this, Uncle Han, didn't we earn 800 taels and just take 100 taels as your hard work during this time, after you deliver the batch of books, you go home and see Aunt Han and the others , buy something for them too." Liu Man'er ordered.

"How can this happen." Uncle Han shook his head repeatedly and said, "If the master wants to reward me, it is enough for me to go home and have a look. As for the money, let's wait until the master pays off the debt."

"Okay, then let me remember, I owe you 100 taels." Liu Man'er smiled slightly, seeing Uncle Han's enlightenment really made her master feel ashamed.

"Thank you for the reward from my boss." Uncle Han didn't refuse anymore, and happily accepted Liu Man'er's verbal reward, and then handed over the money he earned during this period to Liu Man'er.

Liu Man'er received the money, and after putting it away, she still felt a little uneasy, and said, "This batch of goods has not been delivered, and I always feel uneasy, otherwise I will go to the printing workshop with you, I have never been there before. Pass."

"Okay." Han Shixin also readily agreed, and said: "By the way, if the master has written something during this time, the book is almost gone, or you can write some more?"

Liu Man shook her head after hearing this, and said: "I can write, Feng Yongkang and the others talked too fast, I still have to take care of the children now, I really don't have much time, you let them tell the old stories from the past, as for me The Journey to the West that I wrote and the generals of the Yang family can be talked about once or twice a day."

"Then our business will definitely be worse." Uncle Han said hesitantly. He knew Liu Man'er's situation, so he felt a bit in a dilemma for a while.

"That can't be helped, you know I'm very busy this day." Liu Man'er stood up and said, "Anyway, you have experience in running a teahouse now, we can run it like other teahouses, and we don't have to rely on storytelling anymore. When you have time, buy some good tea, build more private rooms, decorate it well, and make it a high-end tea house. "

"Well, I got it." Han Shixin naturally knew Liu Man'er's difficulties. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that doing so would not necessarily affect the business. Wen, but it is the small group of rich people who can really make the teahouse make money.

"By the way, I asked you to investigate before, who ordered those little ruffians to come to our teahouse to make trouble?" Although the power of others has made her teahouse temporarily peaceful, but after all, the root of the disaster is still there. .

"This is because our teahouse is too prosperous, so the bosses of the two nearby teahouses are jealous, so they teamed up and invited these ruffians to deal with us."

"Then did you take revenge on them?" Liu Man'er looked up at Han Shixin.

"That's not true. Anyway, we have to forgive others and forgive others. I think that since our teahouse business has returned to normal, I won't be as knowledgeable as them."

"Okay, but if there are people coming to make trouble next time, you can't let them go so easily, at least you have to fight back, otherwise, others will think we are easy to bully." Liu Man'er frowned slightly, this Fortunately, she ate it, there is no way, she has no one and no time to care about them, I just hope they don't come to make trouble again, otherwise, she won't hold back next time.

"Well, if it's okay, then I'll go out." Han Shixin said and was about to leave.

Liu Man'er stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, didn't you say that I will go to the printing workshop with you?"

Liu Man'er stood up as she spoke, and her serious face returned to a cheerful look. She walked out of the study and greeted Mrs. Fang, and then walked outside with Han Shixin.

This printing workshop is also a small yard I bought, not very far from the place where Liu Man'er's family lives. I have been feeling bored at home for the past few days, and when I suddenly heard the hawking on the street, it really felt like a world away. a feeling of.

"By the way, Uncle Han, have you brought me here before, has anyone else come to this printing shop?" Liu Man'er chatted casually with Han Shixin while walking.

"No, how could I tell others about such a confidential matter? Even President Chen and the others, I didn't take them in. I just let them go to the warehouse where the books are stored."

"Oh." Liu Man'er nodded thoughtfully, but asked: "Then you mean, they know the location of our printing workshop, and also know the location of our warehouse?"

Uncle Han lowered his head slightly, and said, "My boss, don't worry, I used a small room behind our teahouse as a warehouse, and didn't bring them here."

"You are considerate." Hearing what Han Shixin said, Liu Man'er felt relieved, and felt that Han Shixin's way of doing things was becoming more and more reliable now.

The two chatted one after another, and soon came to the printing workshop. Han Shixin opened the door with a key and said, "In order not to disturb them, I use a lock for the front door. They usually come in and out through the back door."

"Well, Uncle Han is still thoughtful." Liu Man'er said as she walked into the printing workshop.

The entire printing workshop is in the form of a courtyard house. Although it is not too big, it is not too small, and it is neatly organized.Because it is a printed book, Han Shixin dug ditches around the house and dug wells in the front and back of the yard in case of water leaks, so that even if the water leaks, the workers can respond in a timely manner.

Han Shixin leads Liu Man'er to the backyard. Some people are printing books, while others are checking the page numbers. After checking, they will be combined into a stack in order. Naturally, someone will punch holes and bind them with thread.

Some people were randomly checked. After Liu Man'er saw it, she felt that it was a bit like a modern factory. Apart from the fact that they were wearing different clothes, they really looked like workers on an assembly line.

Seeing Han Shixin coming, there were two people who seemed to be in charge, and quickly put down their things to come over. Han Shixin and Liu Man'er introduced them. It turned out that these two people were the first people Han Shixin invited here. Now Han Shixin is also printing this Everything in the workshop was handed over to them.

Han Shixin introduced Liu Man'er, the big boss. The two printing masters hurriedly saluted Liu Man'er, but Liu Man'er stopped them. The circle is gone.
