Chapter 32 Trading
"What kind of business?" The boss was a little surprised. He just opened a bookstore here, so besides books, he could do business.

Yun Yiyi said: "If I have a way to increase the number of your books rapidly, can this business be done?"

"So that's the case. Is the girl trying to introduce us to a regular scribe? Don't worry, as long as the person you introduce is qualified and stable, we can pay you a certain amount." The boss thought for a while, and then said: "I don't know if the girl can How many people did you recruit?"

Yun Yiyi said: "I can copy hundreds or even thousands of books within a month, but they are thin books with few words."

The boss smiled deeper, and the way he looked at her changed, "Can you find so many people?"

He looked at the three of them carefully, and found that the two cubs looked tiger-headed, very clever, and they couldn't be raised by ordinary families.Even Yun Yiyi's appearance is not ordinary, so there may not be a way to help him solve the problem of not having enough books.

Yun Yiyi lowered her eyes, "When did I say that I would find someone for you, but I have other ways to deal with the books in the bookstore, and it is permanent, can you make the decision?"

The boss was taken aback, "Permanent?"

"That's right, as long as you agree to cooperate with me, I can guarantee that your books will always be supplied in the future, and you can save at least half of the money." Yun Yiyi thought it might be more than that, although copying a book is only a few pennies money, but they demanded more, and paid a lot of money to the scribes a year.

The boss pondered her words, his expression became serious, "Really?"

Yun Yiyi nodded her head, she was only five taels of silver when she made a move that day, so she must not be short of money, even though she is a woman, she talks very well, so she shouldn't be teasing him.

This was a deal, and it was a big deal. As the owner of a small branch of a bookstore in a small town, he naturally couldn't make the decision.But if he can solve this problem, then...

The boss coughed, "Okay, can you tell me your way?" He also seemed to think that Yun Yiyi could find many people at once.

When Yun Yiyi heard what the boss said, she also doubted whether he could make the decision. Moreover, she was unwilling to tell them this method directly. The principle of this thing is very simple. What if she told the other party and the other party refused to admit it.

She was thinking about it, but she didn't notice that Yan Dashuang and Yan Xiaoshuang had already run to the other side, planning to get a book to read as well.

They are short in stature, and even if they stand on tiptoes and stretch out their claws, they cannot touch the book.

Yan Dashuang tried many times but couldn't do it, so he got a little angry, he stretched out his fat paw and pulled the sleeve of the person next to him.When there was no response, he chattered again.

It was a 16-year-old boy who was concentrating on reading a book when he suddenly felt a weight coming from his clothes.

He moved his eyes away from the book, turned his head to look, and saw no one, and then lowered his head, he saw a little chubby looking up, staring at him with watery eyes.

In fact, he is not fat, but he seldom sees such a white dumpling, and when he sees it is well-raised, his heart softens for no reason, and his voice is also soft: "Little boy, what's the matter with you?"

Yan Dashuang blinked, but didn't understand.

Suddenly another identical white dumpling squeezed over from that room, with indifferent eyes, and the white pink bow on his head formed a cute contrast with his indifferent little face. The little cub said, "Can you hold it for me?" "University"?" He also pointed in the direction.

The boy's eyes followed his hand, and there were three or four copies of "University" there, and he took out a book and handed it to him.

Yan Xiaoshuang took it, expressionless, and said in a childish voice, "Thank you."

The young man watched the two cubs leave, and felt that it was so mysterious that such a small baby could read and write?Also know to let him take the book.

He is also a scholar, and plans to take the imperial examination in the future, but he only started to read when he was seven years old.

The movement here happened to be seen by the boss. He didn't expect these two little babies to be able to read and write. At such a young age, the future must be limitless.

His tone also became a little more respectful: "I really can't decide this matter, but Mr. Ji can. The several bookstores in this county are managed by Ji's family, but he is not here today. He will be at the market next time." Come on, Madam, why don't you come to us to discuss this matter at that time."

Yun Yiyi calculated the time, that is, what happened in the past few days, she was not in a hurry for this moment, so she agreed.

When he was about to leave, Yun Yiyi asked, "Boss, do you know where I can get gunpowder?"

"Gunpowder? What is it? I've never heard of it, but maybe only the county town has it, not this town." The boss said indifferently.

Yun Yiyi was afraid that gunpowder was a banned drug in this era, but judging by the attitude of the boss, there is no such rule.But is there no gunpowder here?It's still called another name, it seems that she can only understand when she goes to the county seat.

The two cubs have been arguing about looking for matches for the past few days. She must do what she promised. It seems that she will have to go to the county to see it again after a while.

When they went back, there was no one in the town, so they just strolled around for a while. Yun Yiyi accidentally saw a cigarette seller, so she weighed some and went back.

The cigarettes bought here are not the cigarettes of later generations, but a long tobacco leaf, which turns grayish-yellow after being dried.Take out a thin roll of tobacco leaf, roll it into a cylindrical shape, light it with fire, and then you can smoke.

Father Yan likes cigarettes, so Yun Yiyi casually brought some back for him.

When the protagonist lived at home before, he never bought anything for Yan's father, but Yan's sister-in-law and Yan's second sister-in-law would bring cigarettes to father Yan when they went out to buy things.

Afterwards they no longer lived together, and Brother Yan's family would give some money to Yan's father and Yan's mother every month, and food when they had no money.After all, even if they don't live together anymore, Yan's father and Yan's mother should not be supported by the eldest brother's family, they need to be shared equally.However, Yan's father and Yan's mother are still in good health and can work now.

The original protagonist gave them nothing.

After returning home, Yun Yiyi was very hungry. She handed the cigarettes to the two cubs, "Go and deliver them to grandpa. To reward you, I will fry up crispy pork for you tonight."

As soon as Yan Dashuang heard the meat, he patted his chest and said, "Okay, I promise to deliver it right away."

He walked in front carrying one end of the cigarette, and Yan Xiaoshuang walked behind carrying the other end of the cigarette, and the two set off in a mighty manner.

It was meal time at this time, and the Yan family was having dinner, when they heard Da Shuang's shout from the door, "Grandpa, grandpa."

Mother Yan put down her chopsticks, "It's Da Shuang who came."

Yan Dashuang and Yan Xiaoshuang walked to the door humming, and put the cigarette in the arms of Yan's father who was eating, "Grandpa, this is what my mother asked me to bring to you." Yan Dashuang said loudly.

Yan Xiaoshuang nodded, "Yes!"

Father Yan was startled, "The third daughter-in-law gave it to me?" He remembered that Yun Yiyi asked him if he needed anything when he went out today, and muttered, "I didn't expect that she still remembered me."

This is also true, Yun Yiyi didn't pay attention to anyone at the time, let alone buy things for them.Although Yan's father is the head of the family, he seldom manages the family affairs, which makes his sense of existence not strong.Unexpectedly, the third daughter-in-law still had him in her heart.

Mother Yan's heart was not sour, she was even more surprised, and waved to the two cubs: "Have you eaten yet, come and sit with grandma."

Yan Cai was digging rice into his mouth, and said vaguely: "My brother eats." He remembered that his mother said that the meat and salt were given by his third aunt, and he also wanted his brother to eat here.

Yan Yuan also yelled at the side: "Eat."

Grain has been harvested these days, and every household has enough food, and the food is not rough.

There are two stir-fried vegetables on the table, one with fried cabbage and one with fried green vegetables.A plate of dried pickles, and a large pot of tomato and egg soup with green scallions floating on it, looks good.Although only three eggs were put in, everyone drank a bowl of soup and felt warm in their stomachs.It was rare for them to eat dry rice today. Although it was steamed with coarse grains mixed with cornmeal, it was a rare good meal.

Yan Xiaoshuang shook her little head, "Mother said, let the nesters go back after delivering them."

He stared at his round eyes, and said solemnly, looking at his soft bun face, Mother Yan's heart melted, and he called out his heart.

Yan Dashuang said: "Grandma, we are going back to eat crispy meat."

"Is your mother going to buy meat again?" Mother Yan asked.

Yan Dashuang blinked and thought for a while: "No, mother only went to town to buy cigarettes today."

After saying this, he took Yan Xiaoshuang's hand and ran away.

Father Yan took out a cigarette and looked at it. The color was uniform and the leaves were wide. It was indeed a good cigarette.

Mother Yan murmured: "The third daughter-in-law didn't go to town just to buy cigarettes for you, did she?" She thought for a while, and then felt that this guess was outrageous, "This crispy meat consumes a lot of oil, and she too willing."

Although the crispy meat is delicious, even during the Chinese New Year, they are not happy to cook it.

Father Yan said: "Let her go, you see both the big and the small have been fattened."

This is a fact, especially Yan Dashuang looks round and round.The elderly like chubby children. Mother Yan took a look at Yancai and Yanyuan, who looked like monkeys, and gave them two chopsticks of eggs.

This room Yun Yiyi took out half a catty of leg meat and cut it into thick strips, and also took out two ribs. When she used to eat crispy meat, she didn't like pure lean meat, but meat with bones.

Then she added eggs, salt, starch, pepper, etc., mixed well, and then started to marinate.

When the two cubs came back, Yun Yiyi hadn't started frying the crispy meat yet, the two of them looked into the kitchen with some disappointment.

"Mother, isn't everything alright?" Yan Dashuang was disappointed to find that there was no movement in the kitchen.

"How fast, wait for the meat to marinate for a while." Yun Yiyi said.

After another 10 minutes, after the meat was marinated and tasty, Yun Yiyi poured oil into the pan and put the meat into the oil pan.When the meat wrapped in batter gradually changes color and is fried until golden brown, the meat inside is cooked.

Yan Da's nose was sharp, and he had been looking for the scent for a long time, so he reached out his hand to pick up a piece of meat and taste it.

Yun Yiyi didn't speak, but stared at him deeply, and he put his hands behind his back in grievance. In his mind, his mother was sometimes easy to talk and wouldn't beat and scold him, but if she got angry, he would be very afraid .Most importantly, he was even more afraid of his mother being disappointed.

Yun Yiyi also taught the two cubs table manners at the beginning, one of which was that they were not allowed to grab vegetables with their hands. Although the rural areas don't need to pay so much attention, she hopes to teach the two cubs to be quality people.

Yan Dashuang let out a groan, and seemed to think of something in his mind. His mother told him not to let him eat it.

He obediently went to look for Yan Xiaoshuang with his short legs, but found that his younger brother was reviewing with a picture book.

Yan Dashuang poked him: "Brother."

Yan Xiaoshuang didn't even look at it, he felt even more wronged.

When he was sad, Yan Xiaoshuang actually only cared about studying.

Fortunately, Yun Yiyi quickly prepared the food, and there was a large bowl full of fried crispy meat, which was crispy to the bite, and she made another hot dish, and it was time to eat.

Yan Dashuang stuffed his mouth full of meat, and his fragile heart was comforted.
