I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 477
As for Miss Zhifu?

She still has such a dull temper, as if she is not curious about this matter at all.

Fortunately, shopkeeper Wang didn't hide it, and she immediately replied: "Mrs. Ye, don't you know? Now the printing machine in our shop, as well as the tools for engraving characters, are all improved by my uncle! Otherwise! , look at us women, who can control such a cumbersome machine all day long?"

There is such a thing?

Guan was very surprised. "Yingniang, why haven't you mentioned this to me?"

"Need to mention it? That's what he should do!" Xia Ying waved her hands indifferently.

Guan was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Even the magistrate finally spoke up: "Master Gu is really amazing, he can actually improve the printing machine, and the tools for engraving characters? He has such a good skill, why has no one heard of it before?"

"Because in his eyes, these abilities are rare skills, and they can be used occasionally for fun. If they are really displayed on the table, he hates being dishonored." Xia Ying said.

what?
This statement left everyone dumbfounded.

"You still bring it like this? Obviously relying on this skill, he can support the whole family. But he is lucky, but he still dislikes not being on the stage and refuses to use it?" Guan simply couldn't understand Gu Tuo's brain circuit.

Xia Ying didn't care. "Everyone has his own little quirks, if it's harmless, just respect his mind."

"Besides, he just wants to revive Gu Ji wholeheartedly now, and he doesn't care about the rest. Some people only need to do one thing in their life, and that's enough. That's how he is."

Guan Shi still didn't understand, but Miss Zhifu's eyes brightened!

"Do you only need to do one thing in your life? Madam Gu, you said that so well!"

Xia Ying smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Miss Zhifu, for your compliment. But let's not mention him now, let's go read a book!"

Since I brought these two people to visit the printing shop, the most urgent thing is to let them see the operation process of the shop clearly, and then discuss the future development direction of the shop together.

As for the rest, those are trifles!

Miss Zhifu nodded: "Indeed. We still have time to talk slowly."

So the topic returned to the shop itself.They knew from Shopkeeper Wang that the last batch of printed books had been sold out. After receiving Xia Ying's letter, Mrs. Ye instructed them to start preparing for the printing of the next batch of books.And for the second batch, they planned to print [-] different copies at one time, so the procedure was relatively more complicated.

Fortunately, the templates for twenty books have already been printed.Then shopkeeper Wang asked the person in charge of the printing machine to print a copy for them to see on the spot.

Holding a few comic books exuding a faint scent of ink in her hand, even though these were her own works, Xia Ying still couldn't stop her heart from surging.

Finally, in the third year after coming to this world, she finally returned to her main business!

Although in her previous life, she only needed to paint, and everything else was operated by the editor and the company behind the editor.And now besides painting, she also has to deal with matters related to running the shop, but she also thinks it's worth it!

At least she is doing what she likes again, and she can get more value from this favorite thing, she is very satisfied!
Guan Shi and Miss Zhifu looked at these newly released books, and they were also very excited.

Miss Zhifu was originally a bookworm, but now that she saw these brand new stories, she immediately began to read them hungrily.

After reading five books in a row, she reluctantly put them down, and then she looked at Xia Ying with a bit of admiration in her eyes: "Sister Yingniang, I really don't know how you thought of it! It's just a few words in some books. But after being drawn into a comic book by you, it became much more lively. The pictures in this book are even more exciting than what I usually imagined when I read the book!"

After all, she is in this world, so at the beginning, Xia Ying picked up those familiar little stories to draw, so that people who read books can easily accept them.

However, Xia Ying was still very proud to hear Miss Zhifu praise her so much.

"This is my unique ability! How about it, do you think it is right to cooperate with us now? I have a story. Sister Duanniang and my younger siblings have the ability to run and operate a shop. Coupled with your background, we four swords Hebi, are you still worried that this matter can’t be done?”

She is so confident!

Seeing Xia Ying's confidence before, Miss Zhifu still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.There are few people in this world, even men, who are as overconfident as her!

But now, when she saw the small printing shop in front of her, and saw the stories at hand, she felt that Xia Ying's confidence was completely emboldened!
She supports her so confidently!

"Well. Four swords combined, we can definitely get things done." She nodded.

"Sister Long, what do you mean... are you sure you have joined our matter?" Guan Shi asked in a low voice when she heard this.

Miss Zhifu nodded. "I have seen it all. You are indeed doing this with your heart, so why don't I participate? I am very happy to be able to contribute to the weak women in this world."

Very good!
Hearing her affirmative answer, Guan Shi, Ye Shi and even Xia Ying all danced happily.

After reading the printing shop, Mrs. Ye invited them to Songji Restaurant for dinner.This meal is of course a feast of bamboo rats.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Ye also explained to them the whereabouts of the money from the first batch of books sold.

"Only 300 copies were printed in the first batch, [-] copies were taken by Mr. Wu, [-] copies were given to your second sister-in-law, and the remaining [-] copies have been sold piecemeal. Among them, [-] copies were ordinary printing, and the other [-] were color printing, and the [-] copies were sold for a total of [-] taels."

"I use medium paper for ordinary printing, and high-grade paper for Caihui Printing, including trial printing and scrapping. The cost of all paper is 100 taels. The cost of ink is higher, and it costs more than one copy. Two taels of silver, 400 taels for two hundred books. Color painting costs extra money, one tael and five for a book, that’s another 150 taels.”

"In addition to these costs, there are also labor costs, miscellaneous expenses, etc. The 120 books were printed for a month, and the total cost is [-] taels."

"After deducting all these, the net profit is 530 taels. I exchanged all the money into fragmented copper coins, and then asked people to search for girls with poor backgrounds centered on Changshou Town where my sister and you are located. So far, I have rescued them." There are 38 girls! The total cost is 230 five taels of silver."

After reporting the number, she handed over the account book: "This is the detailed account book, and there are related information about 38 girls, please have a look."
