On the way back, Xia finally voiced the question that had been bothering her.
"Princess, look at the shopkeeper and the owner, they look so disbelieving, and they even have the attitude that we should just go to another shop instead."
Su Muyao also knew that Xia was probably angered by the boss's tone.
After all, she now holds the title of a princess, so who would dare to speak to her like that?
"Xia, we haven't revealed our identities, so when we're discussing business, we naturally have to consider our own pros and cons."
In an uncertain situation, it is understandable to want some assurance.
"And even if we find another bookstore, putting aside the fact that its reputation isn't as high as this one, people might not even believe it."
"Alright, since I've promised, I'll definitely keep my word. I believe the person in the Minister's residence is a man of his word, so we can save on labor costs, right?"
Xia thought about it and realized that what her princess said made sense.
"The princess is indeed wise, taking precautions in advance."
"You're so talkative, yet you're not even planning ahead."
Xia chuckled and said, "That's just being prepared."
When Su Muyao sent a guard to the Minister's residence to inquire about the rubbings, the Minister's residence had already sent people to bring over the two rubbings that had been made.
"Xia, find a few people to carry this to our old workshop."
"She is a princess."
Considering that the workshop area is large and has so many people living there, it wouldn't be a problem to transfer some more people out of the workshop.
"Xiaochun, if I remember correctly, they should be paying wages over there in the next few days, right?"
"Your Highness, I heard that wages were just paid yesterday."
Su Muyao frowned. This was why she liked to keep Xia by her side.
Except for Xia, everyone else in the spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons was very respectful, answering only one question at a time and never saying more.
And all I hear about Princess Hui's words, "This servant did this and that," just doesn't sit right with me!
For a beautiful young woman from the 21st century to become a farm girl was simply a blessing from heaven, granting her a space to stock up on some goods.
Because of her memories from her past life, she made those things and was given the title of princess.
These achievements are not due to my own merits, but simply because I benefited from the times.
"You go ahead and get busy."
"yes"
Su Muyao only relaxed after Xiaodong left. The main reason was that Xiaodong stood there with a restrained look, head down, waiting for instructions at any moment, which gave her a headache.
Now that the yard is bigger, it's a bit of a walk to get to my grandparents' place.
As soon as they arrived at the door of Grandma Su's room, the old lady immediately hugged Su Muyao tightly.
"My dear, I'm so glad I thought of Grandma. What have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen her at mealtimes at all."
"Grandma, I've landed another client."
Old Su saw this harmonious scene as soon as he came out, but he frowned when he heard that his granddaughter had once again attracted business.
"Baby, you're still so young. If there's anything, just let your old man handle it. Don't tire yourself out."
What Old Man Su didn't say was that with so much money in the family, even if they stopped seeking business, they could live comfortably for the rest of their lives relying on their original workshops.
But of course he knew he shouldn't have said those words.
They chattered away in Grandma Su's room, talking about some interesting things happening outside.
Grandma Su also told Su Muyao that the old ladies from other government families were very courteous.
Su Muyao wholeheartedly agreed upon hearing this, pointing out that every maid in her own courtyard was impeccably courteous.
But once you actually get to know them, you'll feel mentally exhausted.
After chatting for a while, Xia came back, and then Xia rode her electric bike to take him to the workshop.
As soon as they arrived at the workshop, several sharp-eyed older women recognized the young owner.
Everyone went home and brought out their best food, which they then offered to Su Muyao.
"Young master, it's been a long time since I've seen you. Have a piece of these sunflower seeds that I just roasted."
"Princess, please try mine. This is a freshly roasted sweet potato that is both sweet and sticky."
Su Muyao took the steaming sweet potato and said, "Thank you, Grandma."
The old lady handing out sweet potatoes immediately perked up when she heard this. "Oh, oh, oh, I'm glad you like it. Look how red your little nose is. It's so cold outside."
Everyone here is very grateful to Su Muyao for taking them in when they were starving and for giving their families a job. Now everyone is living a very comfortable life.
Yesterday, I received my wages again and have saved quite a bit. Now, almost every household can afford to eat meat every few days.
The children in the family visibly gained weight, and everyone put their gratitude to Su Muyao into real ways.
The men and women in the factory all worked diligently and conscientiously to perfect their respective processes.
They felt that only in this way could they be worthy of such a high salary and their savior.
Su Muyao directed several men to select the pieces according to the order of the carved boards, and then directed two other men to start applying ink and making rubbings.
Seeing that the young owner was busy, the warm and lovely people all dispersed and went back to their own tasks.
Under Su Muyao's direction, the two of them fixed the paper onto the printing table.
Next, firmly grasp the edge of the paper with your left hand, and use a clean eraser in your right hand to smoothly print the paper onto the printing plate from left to right.
Since it was the first time, both of them applied the ink unevenly, resulting in uneven ink distribution in the printed characters.
But on the second try, because I applied too lightly, the ink was very light.
"No rush, just watch it a few more times."
Su Muyao could also see the unease in the hearts of the people in front of her.
She just felt that this situation was perfectly normal, and that she would get the hang of it after trying a few more times.
"Hey, Dazhuang, look at all this paper you've wasted!"
The one speaking was Dazhuang's mother. Because she was from Taoliu Village, she had watched Su Muyao grow up since she was a child. Although she was a lucky star, she now had the title of princess.
However, the people of Taoliu Village only felt kinship towards Su Muyao and would never have the slightest fear of her like the other villagers.
So when that loud shout came, Su Muyao jumped in fright.
"Oh my goodness, were you scared?"
"It's okay, Grandma will definitely use a lot of paper at first, don't worry."
Although these words were spoken to Grandma Qian, the real intention was to encourage the printers to go all out and not hesitate to print for the sake of a few sheets of paper.
He then turned to the printing crew and said, "Don't worry about the paper. It was given to you by someone. Just go for it and print as much as you can. You'll get the hang of it after a few tries."
The group nodded in agreement.
After practicing several more times, the two were finally able to print out clear characters smoothly.
It's like I've found my rhythm; I rarely make mistakes. The number of successful prints increases, and eventually, I never make any more mistakes.
