Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 374 Bookstore

  But this year I also plan to take a trip to Fucheng, at least to familiarize myself with the process first.

   Besides that, Chu Heng didn't want Ye Muyu to work too hard.

  Ye Muyu heard it, pondered for a moment and said: "I remember that Master Xie has Piaoxianglou in the county, so let's set the banquet at Piaoxianglou, and Auntie Hu and I will cook and prepare together."

  Chu Heng frowned, how could he expect Ye Muyu to be so sincere.

  He will repay the two of them in other places, but he also understands Ah Yu's character, so he will definitely stick to it.

  In addition, Xie Yu and Du Heng really wanted to eat the food made by Ah Yu.

  In the end, he had no choice but to agree, but he still told him uneasy: "You try to guide by the side, don't be too tired."

   "Okay, it's just a meal, not too tired." Ye Muyu smiled lightly.

  Chu Heng had no choice but to go back and tell Mrs. Hu to help her.

   "It's late now, you go to the school, I will go to customize printing with Lu Chuan later." Ye Muyu looked at the sky and said.

  Chu Heng hummed, gave Lu Chuan a few instructions, and then left.

  After Chu Heng left, Ye Muyu walked around the yard again, and saw that the two storerooms in the backyard were also cleaned up, and there were bookshelves inside, which showed that they were used to store books.

   "Madam, are you going to the bookstore to print books now?" Lu Chuan asked aloud.

  Ye Muyu already knew before coming here that the printing technique of Da Chu is mainly controlled by the government, and the places where books are printed are called bookstores, which are basically official workshops.

  The price of the official workshop is relatively high. A book that sells for two taels of silver requires 700 copies of printing alone.

   Almost a third of the price, not including the cost of ink.

   Spread out evenly, the printing cost of a book worth two taels of silver is about nine hundred cash.

   No wonder books are expensive, commoner students can only copy books.

   And copying books also requires payment of silver taels. To copy a book of two taels of silver, you need to pay a fee of three hundred cash, and you can't damage the books, and there is a time limit.

   No wonder many people can't afford to read books.

   Not to mention buying books, there are also expenses such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which are high prices.

  An ordinary strong man earns between 20 and 30 Wen a day in Nanchang County.

   Just when Ye Muyu lamented that books are expensive.

  The two have arrived at the bookstore.

  Bookstore is not far away.

   It will be there in just a quarter of an hour.

   There are two stone lions at the entrance of the bookstore. The entrance is very clean. The gate is not big, at least not comparable to the houses of some wealthy households in the county.

   "Madam, I'll knock on the door." After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

   After knocking for a long time, a porter came out.

  The porter was a young man in his twenties. When he saw Lu Chuan, he yawned, rubbed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

   "Hello, my lord, my little wife has opened a bookstore in the county, and it's not far from the Expo bookstore. She wants to come and print books."

   "Did you bring the documents?" The bookstore is strictly checked because it is owned by the government.

  Ye Muyu wanted to open a bookstore. Before that, Chu Heng went to the county government office to apply for a business license document. Having an account in the county government office meant that he would have to pay taxes in the future.

   "Bring it on." Lu Chuan said.

  The concierge nodded: "Then come in."

  Lu Chuan hurriedly backed away, waiting for Ye Muyu to walk in front, and he followed closely behind with the bookcase.

  Entering the main entrance, I saw a yard of 300 square meters in the middle, and there were some books in the yard, which seemed to be drying, and there was a back-shaped corridor on both sides.
