Xu Jiang couldn't help laughing when she thought about that scene. Then she said to Lin Hongchu, "Bring some back tonight and help me sell it. I'm alone and anything I don't finish will go bad."
"one person?"
Xu Jiang raised her eyelids and gave her a cold look, and she immediately covered her mouth and laughed.
"There's a jar of pears in the kitchen. Go get some if you want some. Bring two jars back in the evening for Master Lin and Auntie to try."
"Okay."
"Send two jars to Shopkeeper Wang, too. His two kids will love them."
"good."
Lou Yunchun had already moved most of it back last night. He gave the rest to his neighbors and kept a few cans for himself. That was more than enough.
There are still so many dishes.
After making the list, Xu Jiang went out and headed to the West Market again.
There was a papermaking workshop in the West Market. Before Xu Jiang opened his bookstore, he had already established an agreement with one of them. Since the shop opened, he had been using the paper from the workshop as a supply.
When they arrived at the West Market, the donkey ran into Zhao Zhang's Ma Peng as if it was familiar with the place. Xu Jiang was too lazy to argue with it, so she asked Zhao Zhang to look after it and went to the workshop alone.
But I didn't expect to meet a familiar face when I entered the workshop.
"Hey, isn't this Shopkeeper Xu?" The thin manager of Jisheng Bookstore greeted her in a sinister tone when he saw her. "Are you here to buy paper too?"
Just asking nonsense.
The workshop owner asked curiously, "Do you two know each other?"
Xu Jiang didn't want to pay any attention to the man and went straight to the workshop owner and said, "I'm here to buy some thick paper."
The workshop owner asked, "What color do you want?"
"yellow."
"Thick paper costs fifty sheets per cut. How much do you want?"
"Six swords."
"Okay, I'll pack it for you right away."
When the thin steward heard that she wanted so much thick paper, he asked, "Why, are you planning to publish a book or a collection?"
Xu Jiang glanced at him and said nothing.
The thin manager snorted and laughed, then said to himself, "I advise you not to waste your energy. If your bookshop wants to publish a book, it won't be possible without the approval of our boss. Don't say I didn't advise you. As soon as possible, bow your head and apologize to the bookshop, register, and make up the money. Don't wait until you hit a wall and want to turn back, it will be too late."
Xu Jiang finally spoke, "Don't bother with that."
Seeing that she was still unmoved, the thin steward became a little angry. "Hey, you, little girl, you really won't cry until you see the coffin. Let me tell you straight out, our boss has already told the household tribe that without our permission, you can't print a single word."
He stared at Xu Jiang triumphantly, wanting to see her change expression and beg for mercy, but she didn't even raise her eyebrows.
At this time, the owner of the workshop brought out the paper and said, "Madam, please take a look at this paper and see if it is suitable. If it is, I will ask someone to send it to the bookstore for you."
Xu Jiang touched the paper and found it to be of just the right thickness, flexible, and oily. It was perfect for a book cover. She nodded and said, "Then please send someone to deliver it to the bookstore."
"I'm an old customer, why are you being polite?"
After paying the bill, Xu Jiang was about to leave, but the thin steward followed her out and said, "I was talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
Xu Jiang couldn't help but roll his eyes, "So what if I heard it?"
"You've heard it, but why don't you just give in? I've been telling you time and time again because you're a woman. Don't..."
"You don't know what's good for you?" Xu Jiang said impatiently, "You keep repeating the same few words over and over again. You're a bookstore employee after all. Can't you read more and come up with some new words? Besides, whether I publish a collection or not is my own business. What does it have to do with you? Get out of the way!"
"You!" The thin steward was furious. Not only did he not let her go, he even took a half step closer to her, puffed out his chest and put his hands on his hips and said, "So what if I don't let you go?"
Seeing the two arguing, the workshop owner stepped forward to mediate, "I think there's some misunderstanding between the two of you. Let's talk it out, but don't let things get out of hand." He then advised the thin steward, "Manager Wu, why bother making things difficult for a young woman? It wouldn't sound good if people told anyone about it, would it?"
Manager Wu said, "As long as she apologizes to me, I'll let it go."
Xu Jiang laughed angrily, "Apologize? You've been causing trouble for me time and time again, and you still want me to apologize?" Then he warned, "I still have things to do. Are you going to let me go or not?"
Seeing her humiliating him like this, Manager Wu was so angry that he pushed against her and said, "I won't give in, I won't give in. What can you do to me?"
Even the owner of the workshop couldn't stand his rogue behavior and was about to step forward to grab him so that Xu Jiang could escape.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiang sneered and kicked Manager Wu in the crotch.
I only heard Manager Wu let out an "Ah" and fell down, covering his lower body.
The workshop owner was startled and quickly took two steps back. Then he looked at Xu Jiang with admiration and waved his hand at her, signaling her to leave quickly.
Xu Jiang thanked him silently, stepped over Manager Wu, and walked away quickly.
When the workshop owner saw Manager Wu rolling around in pain, he felt a chill run down his spine as well.
But in his heart he gloated and said: You deserve it, it teaches you that some girls are not easy to mess with.
