This is getting off topic.
"By the way, Boss Chen, Mr. Qu and His Highness, have they not returned from the capital yet?"
Li Yu wanted to know whether the necessary materials for the imperial examinations that he and Yu Shan had compiled had started printing.
"No, these two will probably have to wait until the 15th before setting off from the capital and the provincial capital respectively."
So long.
"Didn't the last volume of my storybook go on sale?
How has the response been?”
"Sister, you shouldn't doubt your own ability. Let me put it this way, the sales of this second part are almost the same as the previous ones combined."
No way.
"Boss Chen, you didn't lie to me, did you? It can't be that high."
Yu Shan on the side was also surprised. Mrs. Lin’s book was so popular?
"What's so deceptive about this? Besides, sister, don't you know the quality of this book?
It's suitable for all ages and genders, and the scenery inside is truly breathtaking. Many people buy it just to see the places you describe in your book."
Get rich, get rich...
Li Yu was secretly happy.
"Not bad, not bad. I'll write another one when I have time."
In the study, Chen Zong gave Li Yu the share of the profits from 6 books in the past two months.
A full five thousand taels, just for the month of December.
"Isn't that a mistake?"
She felt guilty about having so much money.
"Sister, take it. I won't make a mistake in calculating the money. This is the share of the profits between the Kitchen God and Thorn Walk for this month.
Of course it can’t be from just our store, there are also people from other branches.”
That's about right.
"By the way, have you printed the information that Yu Shan and I compiled years ago, and the book that Your Highness brought over, the second part of Zhou Li?"
Li Yu still wanted to ask about the progress of printing.
She set a working time for herself and Yu Shan.
Chen Zongwen shook his head.
"No, His Highness said we can start after the New Year. There's no rush."
In this way, she and Yu Shan don't have to rush to start their work.
Let him take a rest and Yu Shan let him do whatever he wants.
As for my own words, I have conceived them before, and I can start writing the third part of the story.
During his free time before the New Year, Li Yu read a lot of miscellaneous books and made some preparations.
It's time to put pen to paper.
When Qu Xiangbai and Jiang Yueyin arrived after 15, the weather had become warmer.
It's time to be busy again.
"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy. I'm going back to think about my next book."
When Chen Zongwen heard that Li Yu was about to prepare another book, he did not try to keep him.
"Then you should go back quickly, and take your time to write. We are not in a hurry, not in a hurry."
Haha, it sounds like you are very anxious.
You have to say one thing and mean another.
With more than 5,000 taels of silver in his arms, Li Yu wanted to go home quickly.
I always feel insecure, just like most people today.
If you carry large amounts of cash on you, you'll feel like someone is staring at you when you walk on the street.
When they reached the first floor, Yu Shan stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yu asked him.
"Madam's books are those. I want to buy a few and send them back to my mother."
His face was red because he had been there for such a long time but still didn't know which books Li Yu had.
I'm so sorry.
"Do you even need to buy this? Just ask."
Li Yuting didn't understand this young man's psychology. Sometimes he was as straightforward as that.
Sometimes I get very shy.
Hearing their conversation, Chen Zongwen, who was standing by, had already packed his schoolbag quickly.
"Here, there are six of Sister Li's books, and each storybook comes in duplicate."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, and thank you, Madam."
Li Yu couldn't stand the constant thanks.
"Okay, okay, we're all so familiar with each other now, stop thanking me and go home."
When he got home, Li Yu went into the house first and put the banknotes away.
Call Yu Shan.
"You haven't been busy in the library recently. What are your plans?"
Li Yu meant to ask him to go to the library to help print books.
After all, when he first came, he was very interested in printing books.
She thought he was going to answer that.
Unexpectedly...
"I'll go to Rongyunju and be the shopkeeper for a few days."
Um?
What the hell.
As a scholar who has won the third place in the imperial examination, is it appropriate for you to be a shopkeeper?
Besides, wasn’t I obsessed with books at the beginning?
What's going on? You've become interested in sweaters in just a few days?
Seeing that Li Yu didn't say anything, he looked at him with an unfathomable expression.
Yu Shan felt a little regretful and kept scolding himself for being impulsive.
“Well…actually, I think if we open tomorrow, business will probably be good.
I've been eating and living in your house for free, which is not right, so I'll go and help out for a few days.
They can't be without an accountant, and as for the library, the printers haven't come in the past few days.
There’s nothing I can do.”
His reason was very good. Although Li Yu found it strange, he also thought it was reasonable.
"Okay then, go with Meimei to take a look tomorrow."
