Lin Jingle was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He urgently notified the printing workshop to increase the printing volume. At the same time, he increased the supply of tea and snacks in the restaurant, as well as fruit plates and snacks.
My benefactor was right. By using smaller plates and putting less food in them, prices dropped and sales increased instead of decreasing. As a result, the shipments of his dried fruit shop and snack shop also increased.
Mother Lin was very pleased. After the brat was scolded away by his father that day, he came back as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened up, and new ideas came up one after another. Which master gave him this advice?
A master named Han was directing the child laborers to work at home, and even the taciturn Han Yulian was pulled over to fill in the numbers.
Because they were getting paid, the little guys worked extra hard, and their short legs left afterimages.
Han Yulian and Zhao Xun are the same age. They will be twelve years old after the New Year. According to the law, the village should allocate land to them.
Yu Lian wants to learn embroidery in an orthodox way. She is trying hard to save money to become an apprentice of an embroiderer.
After having a goal, she became a different person. After selling embroidery last time, she no longer worked in isolation. She followed her sister-in-law to the county town and once again saw the bustling Han Ji Restaurant.
Her parents and her eldest and second brothers were busy here but always had satisfied smiles on their faces. She felt that she should also make some changes.
Yu Lian's situation is a social disorder. If it were in later times, a clever little girl would definitely not starve to death even if she didn't want to interact with others, but this didn't work in ancient times, so she had to make changes.
When Su Shien heard the new term "social disorder" for the first time, he humbly asked Yu Ge'er for advice.
Seeing that he was quite sympathetic to his little cousin, I found it incredible that Yu Ge'er actually had compassion. It was not easy.
Han Zeyu said slowly, "Everyone has value. If I dig them out, I can use them for my own benefit!"
Well, it seems that he was overthinking it. His brother Yu is well versed in the art of controlling people, and he still needs to learn from him with an open mind.
In fact, Su Shien felt that she might have had some social barriers, which was why she couldn't make friends.
Han Zeyu ruthlessly exposed: "Your character is called withdrawn, sensitive and suspicious, and you just go with the flow because you feel hopeless. This kind of broken-pot behavior is called low emotional intelligence."
Su Shien felt that his heart had been sublimated. In the future, whether he was studying or in officialdom, he would never hear words more hurtful or unpleasant than this. After all, scholars valued decency. She was grateful for her husband's desensitization therapy.
Su Shien offered a kiss, and Han Zeyu gladly accepted it. The loyal dog training program began to show results.
…
This time, Han Zecang took leave and came back. He couldn't bear the pressure anymore. The handwritten copy of the first volume of "Chronicles of the Original Xia Dynasty" was almost published, but he couldn't delay the business opportunity.
Han Zeyu didn't take it seriously. It was only half a book, but so many people were scrambling to read it. By the time he finished the handwritten copy, the second volume had already been sold out.
An average book has about three to four thousand words, and a storybook may have more words, but it will never exceed twenty to thirty thousand words. It's not that the author can't write it, but the cost of printing and binding is too high.
Famous works such as "Detective Dee" and "In Search of the Supernatural" only have 190,000 words.
The first volume of "Chronicles of the Original Xia Dynasty" has 40,000 words, and the second volume has 50,000 words. Su Shien wrote it intermittently for a month before completing it.
Books from this period usually adopted the "large characters and sparse lines" typesetting method, which means that the number of characters in each line is not large, about twenty characters, and nine to ten lines can be printed on each page.
Printing according to this type of layout would require a 90,000-word storybook of more than 400 pages, or more than 200 sheets of paper, and its thickness would be comparable to that of a brick, so it was divided into two volumes for binding.
Taking into account the purchasing power of the students of Qingshan Academy, Han Zeyu first gave them ten sets and told Ze Zang to remember that these were brought back from the provincial capital by his brother-in-law with great difficulty.
Han Zecang nodded seriously. What his elder brother said was the truth, and he would try his best not to let him down.
Han Zeyu scratched his cheek and said worriedly, "If he hadn't left the house so clumsily just now, I might have believed what he said. My second brother still lacks experience."
Su Shien nodded. That’s true. If you insist on using yourself as a reference, then the experience of ordinary people cannot catch up with yours.
…
After dinner, Han Zeyu sat upright and, like a cultured person, took out a piece of rough paper to make a draft.
Su Shien said she couldn't bear to watch it. "That's not how you hold a brush, and you shouldn't be lying on the table when writing. And what's the meaning of that left arm? Who are you guarding against?"
Han Zeyu kicked him and said, "You know shit!"
This is a posture used by poor students. They don't study very well but always have to be on guard against others peeking at them. It's not that they are afraid that others will copy their answers, but they are afraid that their made-up things will be seen by people other than the teacher.
Those who hand in blank papers are thin-skinned, while those who are thick-skinned like Han Zeyu have to fool around a few times, and over time they develop this attitude.
After finishing the draft, it was time for Su Shien to be punished, because he had to re-copy the crap.
"From my dear friend Lin Jing..."
Oh my god, this is so unbearable to read. Three of the first seven words are written wrong.
Han Zeyu didn't take it seriously. Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Her husband, like Zecang, lacks experience and determination.
Lin Jing has been staying at Mingyang Bookstore in recent days, so he was the first to receive the letter from his benefactor. He was amazed that the calligraphy was still so elegant and it was true that seeing the words was like seeing the person.
"'Chronicles of the Original Xia Dynasty' has started selling in Qingshan County. The students are so enthusiastic that we can't keep the stock down. I hope Mingyang Bookstore will increase the print run as much as possible."
At the end, a small suggestion and sample are attached. This sample is to replace the printing paper with more expensive mulberry paper, re-layout and print long pages of paper, and finally fold them to form a book without binding.
