Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 214 The Conspiracy Overheard ([-])

"What are they printing now?" Liu Man'er just saw that they didn't seem to be printing their own books. After leaving the printing workshop, she asked casually.

"Hey, there are some sour talents in this city who asked us to print poetry collections for them." Han Shixin said with a smile: "One book costs fifty cents, although the number of printing is not much, but it is still quite profitable. No matter how few mosquitoes are, they are meat. "

Liu Man'er did not expect that someone would come to ask for help printing her own book so soon, which is really interesting.

"It's right to do this. If sometimes there is nothing to print, you can print commonly used books such as the Thousand Characters, but the next few volumes of my book should be published now, and the Yang family will also start printing. By then, you can still print them. I'm busy."

The two of them had already reached the entrance of the alley. Knowing that Han Shixin had something to do, Liu Man'er didn't want to take up his time, so she stopped and said, "Don't send me off, you go to work on your affairs. During this time, you all Thank you for your hard work, I would like to express my condolences to the guys, and after the delivery of these books, I will give them more money for hard work."

"Thank you, my boss." Han Shixin stopped in his tracks, watched Liu Man'er go away, and said in his heart, his boss is really kind, he is so poor, and he still thinks about others.

Liu Man'er is not kind, no matter what generation or generation people are, only those who have money and interests will win the hearts of the people. Otherwise, why should others help you with hard work, give some bonuses, and mobilize everyone's enthusiasm? This will serve multiple purposes. matter.

Originally, Liu Man'er planned to go to the teahouse directly, but she didn't come out for a long time. Seeing the street full of people, listening to the bustling sounds, and smelling the scent of delicious food, Liu Man'er changed her mind. It's not bad to go shopping alone if you are in the way by your side.

You know, during this period of time, not only did Fang not allow her to blow hair, but she was also very particular about eating, forbidding spicy and heavy food, and only drinking some clear soup and light porridge every day. Suddenly, all the gluttons in his belly were hooked up.

Looking east and west, walking and stopping, every time I see these snacks, I want to order a bowl, but thinking that I am still breastfeeding, I am afraid that it will be bad for the child, so I can only smell the fragrance and swallow it abruptly Drooling, hold back your appetite.

I didn't eat anything along the way, but I bought a lot of gadgets, such as tiger-toed shoes, nice clothes, and some messy gadgets, etc.

Although I have a daughter, I can't forget my little cute Tianchen, right? Thinking that the family may be busy taking care of me and Rourou these days, they must have neglected him, so Liu Man'er bought him a lot Small gifts, including candied fruit, peanut candy and some of his favorite snacks.

I'm a bit tired from walking around, but it's not far from my teahouse, and there's a teahouse right in front of me, Liu Man'er plans to go in and have a look, which can be regarded as a test of the market, anyway, these people probably don't know who she is.

As soon as Liu Man'er walked in, an enthusiastic waiter came over to greet her, "Guest officer, please come inside."

This teahouse also has a stage, on which there happens to be a storyteller telling a story, and the story he told happens to be Journey to the West written by himself?
"Guest officer, how about listening to books?" Seeing Liu Man'er listening seriously, the waiter in the shop smiled even more happily. He didn't urge Liu Man'er, but just said from the side: "Most people who come to our teahouse come to listen to books. The storyteller here is good at storytelling, and the book he is talking about is the most popular Journey to the West in the county at present, the girl should have lived in a boudoir for a long time, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

"I have heard." Liu Man'er nodded, although she was infringed by others, but she was not angry in her heart, and she was inexplicably happy.

Being able to hear other people listening to her own stories is in itself a kind of recognition for her, but unfortunately, what she wrote is a fan, and in theory she also encroached on Wu Chengen's rights and interests, so she is not angry with their behavior .

"Can I sit upstairs?" Liu Man'er asked.

"Yes, yes." The waiter said and led Liu Man'er upstairs.

Liu Man'er followed behind him generously. Anyone who wants to come here wants to listen to the story, so there are not many people on the second floor. Liu Man'er chooses a seat by the window and orders a pot of Longjing. sit down.

Looking around the teahouse, carved railings, mahogany octagonal lanterns, and various exquisite patterns painted on the lamps, everything is antique and well decorated.The hall where Liu Man'er was sitting was facing the stairs, and below was the stage. Looking at the rooms on both sides of the stairs, they should be boxes.

I don't know if anyone is talking about something ulterior in the box?Liu Man'er was a little curious at the moment.

Although she has good hearing, she knows that it is impolite to listen to others, so she refrained from prying into the secrets in the box.

While drinking tea, watching the people coming and going downstairs, the bustling street, it seems that I have stolen half a day's leisure.

It's been a long time since she has been so relaxed, even though tasting tea alone, it's not interesting.Just thinking of Xiao Rourou at home, she couldn't sit still, she just wanted to get things done quickly and go home quickly, otherwise, it would be bad for her little cutie to be hungry.

Forget it, forget about it, there is no need to inquire about business secrets. Others’ teahouses are higher-end than your own teahouses, but it’s also good to have a look. When you have money, your own teahouses will be upgraded according to their teahouses. , is going to upgrade better than them.

Liu Man'er looked around, and was about to stand up and leave, but out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the waiter leading a familiar figure towards this side.

Wait, isn't that person President Chen?
Seeing his serious appearance at the moment, Liu Man'er was totally different from the usual decency, looking left and right, with a little panic on his face, so she couldn't help but lower her head a little lower. Relying on a woman's sixth sense, she subconsciously felt that President Chen was coming. Therefore, there must be some conspiracy.

Sure enough, not long after, two more people sneaked up and went to the box that President Chen had just entered.

Liu Man'er sat down, called Xiao Er, asked him to add some hot water, and asked by the way, "Who are they, do you know them? They look familiar."

"Guest officer, we always only sell tea, and don't ask for information about customers." The waiter in the store looked serious, and he had a good sense of confidentiality.

"It's okay, I just asked casually." Seeing the waiter's expression, Liu Man'er smiled slightly, and stopped asking, but changed the subject instead: "Hey, by the way, do you have any snacks here? Give me two. "

"Okay, we have mung bean cake, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, peanuts, Bazhen plate..." Hearing that Liu Man'er wanted to buy snacks, the waiter in the shop relaxed and became enthusiastic again, and reported a lot of snack names to Liu Man'er.

"Give me a mung bean cake." Liu Man'er randomly ordered one.

"Okay, wait a minute." The waiter went down to prepare things, Liu Man'er changed her seat and sat by the railing, so that she was closer to the box and could hear more clearly.

"President Chen, Shopkeeper Mo, I've called you here today, mainly to discuss with you and confirm it at the end." The voice in the box was heard by Liu Man'er.

"Don't worry, drink tea first." The voice of another middle-aged man rang out, obviously it was Shopkeeper Mo.

"We'll drink tea later, these are more important." The man who spoke just now said.

Their voices were very soft, and Liu Man'er was a little far away, if she didn't sit here, she might not be able to hear some words.

"Guest officer, why did you come here instead?" Xiao Er came over with mung bean cakes and suddenly called out, but Liu Man'er, who was engrossed in eavesdropping, was startled.

"I'm listening to the story, and you startled me." Liu Man'er said angrily, "I can't hear anything by the window."

"You want to listen to the story, let me tell you earlier, why don't you move to the first floor?" The waiter said that he wanted to come and get the things on Liu Man'er's table.

"No need." Liu Man'er stretched out her hand and said, "Don't make noise, it's fine for me to sit here, there are many people on the first floor."

While talking, she began to pay attention to the movement in the box, and the waiter saw that she was listening seriously, so she went down to make fun of herself.

"President Chen, are you sure you want to do it tonight?" the man asked.

"Yes, tomorrow is our delivery date, and you have someone burn all those books today." From President Chen's words, Liu Man'er could hear a hint of cruelty, and her hand holding the cup couldn't help but tighten.

The words of this book and the delivery date clearly have something to do with my family.

"Why don't we steal those books? After all, it's more than 1000 taels of silver." Shopkeeper Mo was a little bit reluctant.

"Silly, if we want to steal so many books, they will definitely find out. Anyway, even if they are burned, they are not our books, so they just need to pay for them." President Chen said leisurely: "Didn't you always want Do you want to keep this teahouse going? With so many books, the fire will be huge and difficult to extinguish at once, if other shops are involved, they will not be compensated."

"As for us, if their printing workshop can't deliver the goods on time, it's a breach of contract, and we need double compensation. Whoever made the shopkeeper Han rush to collect our money will not only ask them to spit out the money, but also ask them Transfer the printing workshop to us." President Chen said quite proudly.

"Yes, there is also that shopkeeper Ye, who is so arrogant and arrogant. She must have a lot of follow-up manuscripts in her hand. When the teahouse can't afford it, we will go out and buy her manuscripts. In this way, in the future, all these businesses will be ours. It's over." There was a sneer in Shopkeeper Mo's words.

"By the way, two brothers, is this book really that good?" At first, the voice came out, with a hint of flattery.

"Of course, but don't worry about it. We will give you the money that should be given to you. As long as you do things well, your share will be indispensable." President Chen said coldly.

Hearing this, if Liu Man'er didn't know that what they discussed was related to her, then she was really a fool.

Obviously it wasn't very cold at this time, but she broke out in a cold sweat for no reason. Such a thing could happen to her, how lucky is she?
