Qing'er was naturally talented, and with just a little guidance from the teacher, his paintings became quite spiritual.
Making pastries requires flour and other ingredients, and people usually choose to cooperate with a fixed wholesaler, which has a stable source and fair prices. This time, Zhao Chuchu went out to contact a suitable store.
Zhang Xiuyuan stayed in the store to make a menu of pastries, and also made a large flyer.
There were discounts during the first three days of opening. They were a new store and needed this to attract customers in the early stages.
"Excuse me, who is Zhang Xiuyuan?" When the family was busy, a middle-aged man suddenly knocked on the door.
Zhang Xiuyuan looked up, put down the pen in his hand, looked at the stranger in front of him, and said, "It's me."
The middle-aged man was delighted. "So you are Zhang Xiuyuan, also known as Yizhi Haitang. I am the owner of Taohua Bookstore in Tangzhou Prefecture. Please excuse me by saying my surname is Huang."
Zhang Xiuyuan suddenly realized: "Hello, Boss Huang."
"You're welcome. I came here to ask about the manuscript."
Upon learning that the Zhao family was preparing to move to Tangzhou Prefecture, Song Wanxian specifically sought out Yang Xin and Zhang Xiuyuan for a conversation.
At present, Fengya Bookstore has barely stabilized in Renhe County and does not have the spare capacity to open a branch bookstore in Tangzhou Prefecture, but Song Wanxian is unwilling to delay Zhang Xiuyuan's development in storytelling.
So she decided to cooperate with Taohua Bookstore.
"The Imperial Merchant's Substitute Husband" was sold exclusively by Fengya Bookstore in Renhe County, and by Taohua Bookstore in Tangzhou Prefecture.
This plan was approved by Zhang Xiuyuan and Yang Xin.
As for the serialized books and periodicals in Renhe County, Zhang Xiuyuan would regularly send back manuscripts.
At Taohua Bookstore in Tangzhou Prefecture, Boss Huang had heard the good news from Yang Xin long ago. Now, when he learned that Yizhi Haitang's family had arrived in Tangzhou Prefecture, he couldn't wait to come over.
Boss Huang has also read "The Imperial Merchant's Substitute Husband" and he liked it very much, so he couldn't wait to read it.
"I have a lot of manuscripts saved. I'll give them to you now." After Zhang Xiuyuan asked Boss Huang to sit down, he went into the house.
Because of his endless stream of ideas, Zhang Xiuyuan was able to create very freely and could write around 5,000 words almost every day. This was when he was still looking after Yipinzhai.
Soon, Zhang Xiuyuan came out and handed a thick stack of manuscripts to Boss Huang.
Boss Huang was overjoyed. If he hadn't been worried about Zhang Xiuyuan being there, he would have opened the book and started reading it right away.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Boss Huang suddenly remembered something, "In a while, our Tangzhou Prefecture will hold a competition."
During the Great Sheng Dynasty, the language industry was very developed and very important.
Tangzhou Prefecture also holds a storytelling competition every year.
The name of this competition is: The 16th "Magic Pen Cup" Storytelling Competition of Tangzhou Prefecture.
"If you can get into the top three in this competition, there are quite a few rewards. Many storybook authors will participate."
The "Magic Pen Cup" storytelling competition has been held in Tangzhou Prefecture for fifteen years. This year is the sixteenth year. It is jointly organized by various bookstores in Tangzhou Prefecture. Every year, it attracts great attention from the people.
The top three will receive generous silver rewards of 500 taels, 300 taels, and 100 taels respectively. In addition, the stories written during the competition will be compiled into a separate volume and sold in all bookstores in Tangzhou Prefecture for ten days, with the profit split 91: 90% to the author and 10% to the bookstore.
Often, the money earned from selling the storybooks during these ten days is more than the rewards.
