Nongmen Shuxiangzhi returns to ancient writing books

Chapter 365 A Great Victory
"Is it the story of the monkey grandson?" Someone who had heard Chu Qianyue's storytelling in the teahouse immediately reflected.

"Yes."

"Then I'll buy a few more copies to go home, otherwise, the little ones at home will have to fight."

"Yes, yes, my younger brother also likes it very much. I didn't hear any storytelling when I went to the teahouse last time. I was disappointed for a long time when I went back."

"When will it be available for sale? I have to come early and line up."

……

In an instant, everyone's attention was attracted by the upcoming new storybook, who still pays attention to Ji Jie and his party!With just a few words, the focus of everyone's attention was turned away from Ji Jie.

Ji Jie twisted the veil in her hand, and she tore one of the veils almost torn. Seeing Chu Chu's appearance, the anger in her heart welled up.

"A new script? Do you still have paper in Shuxiangju? "Guo Wen" came out of the official workshop, but you can't send your own scripts to the official workshop for engraving, right? I haven't heard of it. The official workshop still engraves these Irrelevant stuff!"

Ji Jie raised her eyelids slightly, full of contempt.

"If you spread such big words now, there will be no paper at that time, so what will your bookstore use to engrave?"

"Ajie, you don't know about this. Didn't Shuxiangju say early in the morning that Mrs. Chu is studying papermaking? It's been such a long time, but there is no news about Shuxiangju. Maybe, Chu Did Madam really develop the papermaking technique by herself?"

Xie Yu mocked.

"Hmph! Don't be ashamed! Papermaking is the secret of not wearing clothes, and only a few big families in the world know this method. This is not something that can be made by just saying a few words and studying for a few days?"

Luo Jun's sarcasm was the worst, the look in his eyes that looked at Chu Chu almost directly said that you should stop bragging here!

"Clap clap-"

Chu Chu took the lead in applauding.

She looked around the few people with a smile, and smiled slightly, "This is the second thing I want to talk about today. After studying for a while, I finally figured out how to make paper. Starting today, the paper in Shuxiangju will be restored. Original price, welcome to the store to buy.”

As she said that, Chu Chu raised her hand, and Gong Yu had already taken the lead in bringing over the cut paper, and the vacant space on those shelves just now was more full than piles of paper.

The customers in the store suddenly became excited, as if some switch had been pressed. The customers who were casually looking around in the bookstore immediately rushed towards the stacks of neatly cut papers. .

"Mrs. Chu, is this really medium paper? Is this knife really only two hundred cash?" A scholar's high-pitched voice suddenly rang out, his shock filled with disbelief.

"Let me take a look, let me take a look." One person squeezed over, "Isn't it? Mrs. Chu, maybe the clerk in your shop misplaced it? Did he put the high-grade paper on the middle shelf? I wonder Is this paper better than first-class paper?"

Chu Chu had expected everyone's reaction long ago, so she just smiled and said, "That's right, the paper in front of you is medium-grade paper, and the paper-making technique I have developed is medium-quality, two hundred coins a knife."

"My God! The quality of medium paper is so good, comparable to the current high-quality paper, what about the high-quality paper? Is the high-quality paper in your shop comparable to the current special grade?"

Chu Chu just smiled, "You can take a look for yourself and see the difference between the two."

"I've already checked it for you, and it's even better than the special quality my father usually uses? Is this high quality really only five hundred yuan a knife?" The other party stroked the high quality paper on the shelf with trembling hands. is dreaming.

"This shop is not deceiving, everyone can buy with confidence. I said that the price will return to the original, and it will not change. Although the various grades of paper are higher than what you usually use, the price remains the same , everyone can rest assured."

Chu Chu smiled and explained to everyone.

"My young master has gained a lot of knowledge today. Isn't this premium paper comparable to imperial paper? It's only two liang of silver a knife. Mrs. Chu, won't you lose money if you sell it like this?"

This is a wealthy family, and the difference can be seen at a glance.

"It's not a loss. However, it's true that it doesn't make much money. However, the price of Jingzhong paper has risen, and our Shuxiangju is indeed a factor in it. Let's use our Shuxiangju to compensate everyone for the loss during this period."

Chu Chu said.

The guests in the bookstore were slightly stunned. Some of them just followed other people and were instigated by others to encourage Ye Yi to sell Shuxiangju to Xie Yu's guests, feeling extremely guilty in their hearts.

Most of them are scholars, and everyone knows that the rise in the price of Jingzhong paper has nothing to do with Shuxiangju, and Shuxiangju should not be allowed to bear such a result.

But when they see the solution, when they know what is best for them, selfishness takes over, and that is why they are so easily incited and used.

However, in order to compensate them for them, Mrs. Chu actually ordered such a good paper at such a low price, she would rather not make money!This makes them so selfish and ugly.

"There is another good news. I have developed a thinner paper. Although the quality of this paper is not as good as low-grade paper, it can still be used to practice calligraphy. The key is that this paper is cheap, and it only costs [-] yuan a knife. arts."

Chu Chu dropped another blockbuster.

"Twenty Wen? Is it really only twenty? Is it really only twenty for those who can practice calligraphy?" A student in a blue gown was very excited. He looked like he came from a poor family. He touched it lightly, and his excited eyes already had water light.

"Isn't it? Mrs. Chu, did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong? Twenty cents a knife? How could it be only twenty cents a knife? Such a price is unprecedented. It's really unheard of, never seen before!"

"Madam Gao Yi, for the sake of poor students like us, you actually made paper at such a low price. In the future, even if you are a poor family, if you want to study, your hopes will be much higher. Students will replace many poor students. Thank you, Madam."

Zhao Jue bowed his hands and bowed, and made a real big gift. He was here to hand in the manuscript today, but he didn't expect to bump into such a scene. Looking at the paper of twenty cents and one knife, although the color was a little yellow , the paper is also a lot thinner, but it does not affect the use, this is the most important.

"Thank you Madam." Inside and outside the study, regardless of whether they were born in a poor family or not, after seeing such a scene, they all looked serious, respectful, saluted and saluted, sincere and grateful.

The customers queuing up outside could only put their feet on their feet and propped their necks to look into the shop, wanting to see what happened and why the momentum was so loud?
Kneeling on one knee, leaning over to thank him, and not being an apprentice, something interesting must have happened.

Then the whole story was passed on from the front, and the people in the queue were already very happy when they heard that the paper price had returned to normal. It was heard that the quality of the paper made by Chuchu was much better than that of the Luo family!The price is still cheaper than the Luo family!

I was so impatient that I didn't want to queue up here anymore, so I went back to the bookstore to see if things were really like this. After all, papermaking skills are not something ordinary people can know.

Most of the people who came to line up to buy "Chinese" were students from major academies, masters, and some literati. The rise in the price of paper in the capital had a great impact on them. Now it can be said that it is a blessing from the sky, especially those students. I usually use paper the most.

However, even after hearing that the price of paper had returned to its original level, there were still some calm and calm people who resisted rushing into the shop to see if the matter was true or false.

Some impulsive blades have already rushed in, and they bought it for ten dollars to save.Who knows, will paper prices rise again?How long can such a cheap price last, said the latter.

When those students who were still steadfastly queuing up heard that there were still some poor-quality papers, and that a knife cost only twenty yuan, even the most calm people could not maintain a stable state of mind.

The moment they heard such news, they were almost ear-splitting, more than explosive, and suddenly they all rushed into the shop.

You said queuing up to buy "Chinese"?
"Chinese" is in Shuxiangju, and it will not be lost. When can I buy it?

Such cheap paper is the most important thing!
The inside and outside of Shuxiangju was in chaos, and I was afraid that the thick paper on the shelf would disappear in an instant.

Fortunately, Ye Yi was already very experienced in dealing with this matter.

"Everyone, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, Shuxiangju guarantees that the price will remain the same, and the quantity is sufficient, so you don't have to worry about selling out. However, each person can only buy ten knives at most, and you can't buy too much. You have to give it to others anyway. Give it a chance, don't you?"

Some customers with silver in their hands, thinking about buying more and saving their minds, suddenly disappeared.

"Master Ye, if you Shuxiangju can guarantee that the quality of the paper will not drop and the price will not rise, I will buy paper from your bookstore in the future!" One of the slightly taller sons said loudly.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and some people nearby also booed in an instant.

"That's right, as long as the quality of the paper remains the same and the price doesn't rise, I'll recognize your scholarly residence in the future."

……

"Everyone can rest assured, our boss has said that our Shuxiangju is a study, and we don't make money by making paper. Don't worry, we will definitely do this."

Ye Yi said loudly.

Xie Yu and his party have already been pushed aside by the excited guests. At this time, who cares which bookshop or lady you are, the most important thing is to be able to buy freshly baked paper, okay?

Ji Jie looked at Chu Chu being surrounded by everyone, thanking her, and the jealousy that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly surged in her heart. Why, why is she being praised so highly by these people?
She is just a merchant!
How can she compare with herself?
"Chuchu, have you really figured out how to make paper? How could you have figured out how to make paper in such a short period of time, which has been in the hands of several great families?"

Ji Jie's clear female voice instantly brought everyone's attention to him, "Isn't it that Mr. Ye bought your paper from somewhere else?"

The bookstore fell silent almost instantly, so that no one thought about such a possibility.Although the price of shipping from other places is cheaper, long-distance shipping costs a lot of money.

After transporting to the capital, the price is still so cheap, it is no longer a matter of not making money, but a matter of losing money.

Everyone looked at Chuchu, waiting for her answer.

Chu Chu just smiled lightly, "I really want to ask, has anyone among you ever seen paper of this quality? You Luojia Paper Manufacturing must not have it."

Ji Jie frowned, but didn't know how to reply, she could only look at Luo Jun, she was not familiar with these things.

Luo Jun's face has become extremely ugly since he saw the new paper, and now he received Ji Jie's questioning gaze, and he looked at Chu Chu, "How do you know that my Luo family can't make paper of this quality? You are not the Luo family?"

"Or, the so-called invention of papermaking by you is actually stealing our Luo family's papermaking method and falsely claiming that you have developed papermaking?"

This question turned things to a very strange side.

Chuchu smiled sarcastically, "Your Luo family's papermaking skills are so easy to vote for? If it is true, then the Luo family will not become a century-old family just because of papermaking skills, and it will be replaced by others long ago, won't it?"

"Although my Luo family is strictly guarded, there are always some young people who want to try our papermaking skills. Is it possible that we don't investigate for a while?" Luo Jun stared at Chu Chu and said.

"If that's the case, why don't you see your Luo family making paper comparable to tribute paper?" Chu Chu asked.

Luo Jun frowned slightly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

The sarcasm in Chu Chu's eyes was even worse, "If shopkeeper Luo thinks that my papermaking skills are stolen from your Luo family, then you just disclosed your Luo family's papermaking skills in front of everyone, and naturally, I will also disclose mine. Papermaking, let everyone judge, did I steal from your Luo family?"

Luo Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly he didn't say a word.

He didn't dare to accept such a proposal. The Luo family established the world by making paper. If the method is made public, what capital does the Luo family have to become a family?There are no bones left that have not been eaten by those competitors?

"Why? Don't you dare? Are you guilty?" Chu Chu smiled brilliantly, with that mocking look in his eyes, Luo Jun was so angry that he just wanted to vomit blood.

"Chuchu, you're a strong man. You know that the Luo family started with papermaking skills. Now you let Luo Jun disclose papermaking skills. What's the difference between killing him? How can you be so vicious?"

Ji Jie asked loudly, speaking righteously.

"I think you know that shopkeeper Luo will not agree with your proposal, so you dare to say that? I think you are the one who is guilty! If you didn't steal the papermaking technique from the Luo family, do you dare to disclose it?" ?”

Chu Chu felt that it was necessary for Comrade Ye Yixiao to kneel down on the washboard when he went back today. This was all his rotten peach blossoms!
"Of course I dare." Chu Chu smiled like a warm sun, but the sarcasm in her eyes was like a winter ice arrow, stabbing Luo Jun and Ji Jie in pain.

"Mrs. Chu, don't be impulsive. Papermaking is so rare. I believe you have worked hard to research it. It has nothing to do with the Luo family."

Zhao Jue was a little anxious.

"That's right, Madam Chu, we all believe in you, there is no need for you to disclose your painstaking research."

Almost everyone in the shop is on Chuchu's side, and Ji Jie and Luo Jun have almost become the target of public criticism.

Seeing so many people speak out for her, Chu Chu's heart warmed slightly, and the smile on her face became more sincere.

"Thank you for your trust. However, I will not hide papermaking. I heard that many people in Beijing are struggling to survive. I will drag you to pass on a message to me today. If anyone wants to learn papermaking early, as long as he arrives We have been working in Shuxiangju for three months, and after the three months are over, I will teach him how to make paper."

As soon as Chu Chu said this, everyone was in an uproar.

Everyone didn't understand Chu Chu's behavior. Although Shuxiangju might not make much money from paper, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!How can you give your heart and blood to others like this?

"Although I, Chuchu, am not a woman, I am also a man of my word. Recently, we are short of manpower for scholars, but if you come to the shop and work for three months, you can learn how to make paper, and you can leave after learning. At that time, they will be considered Once I have learned a craft, I will have a way to survive in this capital, and I will never starve to death."

As soon as Chu Chu said this, everyone suddenly realized that Chu Chu wanted to help those living in poverty and teach them a way to make money, just like helping those down-and-out students back then.

The guests promised again and again that they would definitely spread the news and let as many people know as possible.

After thanking Chu Chu, she saw Luo Jun's face that was comparable to black charcoal. She walked over with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "Master Luo, I don't know what agreement you and Xie Yu reached at the beginning. In order to help him, you will not hesitate to raise the price of paper."

"However, now this result can be borne by you on the spot. You said, after I spread this papermaking technique, more and more people have learned to make paper. They can set up a small workshop by themselves and make paper to They sell it on the street, and they control the price themselves."

"At that time, there will be more people selling paper, will anyone still come to your Luo family to buy paper?"

Chu Chu blinked her eyes, her tone was relaxed, and she was full of smiles.

However, Luo Jun seemed to be in a cold pool, his whole body was so cold.
