"Good morning to you too." Gu Xiaoyou said hello and took out the manuscript in his hand without saying any more nonsense.

"This is the story I want to give you. It's not finished yet, but it will be enough for you to write for a while. Come back to me if you encounter something you don't understand."

"Okay, Boss Gu." The storyteller took the manuscript with both hands and started reading it carefully with the scholar.

The more the two of them looked at each other, the more surprises appeared in their eyes. The storyteller praised: "What a great story, so interesting."

Gu Xiaoyou touched his chin: "I have many interesting stories, you should write them first."

After arranging seats for the storyteller and readers in the book club, Gu Xiaoyou walked around the other people's places. Seeing that they cooperated well, he temporarily left the book club and continued to study the allocation issues in other stores.

During this time, Gu Xiaoyou has already drawn the floor plan of the store.

She spread the drawings on the table and meditated hard on the floor plan.

Zhou poured her a cup of tea and asked curiously: "Xiaoyou, what are you looking at?"

"The floor plan of the shops on our street." Gu Xiaoyou expanded the drawing a little more, pointed at the shops that had been built and said: "The first one is the express station, and then the paper shop... Do you understand?

?”

Mrs. Zhou nodded in understanding, observed carefully, pointed to the fourth shop and said, "I just realized that this is the location of our paper shop."

"Yes, this is it. Next door is the business card shop, and next to it is the bookstore. We already have five shops." After Gu Xiaoyou finished speaking, he sighed and said worriedly: "Hey, how can we arrange the fifteen more shops?

ah?"

"It's a bit difficult." After hearing Gu Xiaoyou's sigh, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but frown.

She only knows how to keep a shop now, and all her business experience was learned from Gu Xiaoyou, so she was stumped for a while.

"The business of silk and tea is profitable, but I think the big merchants in the capital have already monopolized these two businesses. We have no supply of goods when we open a store, let alone rice and ceramics. These are only the things that big landowners can do."

Compared with their business, what we do is just a small profit." Gu Xiaoyou sighed.

"Xiaoyou, don't belittle yourself, our toilet paper and express delivery station are the only ones in Chaoyang Country, and the profits are not small." Zhou encouraged.

Gu Xiaoyou raised his head and glanced at Mr. Zhou, and said softly: "But now apart from toilet paper and express delivery, I haven't built any other shops."

"We still have isatis root, and Xiaoyou, don't you plan to open another medical clinic? Your medical skills are so good, it would be a pity to only do business." Zhou suggested cautiously.

"What you said makes sense." Gu Xiaoyou looked shocked: "Since I can't think of any other shop, why not open a medical clinic and use all my extra time."

Gu Xiaoyou became interested and immediately checked the floor plan. After thinking for a while, he said: "The shops on this side of the paper shop are all one-story. The shops on the opposite side are all two-story except for the one in the middle, which is four-story. Why don't I choose one?"

It should be two floors, so if any patients need to be kept in the hospital for observation, it would be nice to have a place to stay."

"Yeah." Mr. Zhou nodded and agreed, "Just choose the end of the street. It's closer to your home. It also saves you a lot of travel if you have a headache or fever."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"With the medical center, you can also build a workshop for isatis root. You can make isatis root and other magic medicines." Zhou's expression brightened: "Maybe we can also make new toilet paper.

What a trick."

"Yes, I also made a tissue bag." Gu Xiaoyou took out the fish that was caught in yesterday's pocket from his sleeve: "Sister Zhou, what do you think of this tissue bag?"

Zhou took it in his hand and played with it. When he saw the cute patterns on it, he praised: "It's so beautiful. Did you draw all the patterns?"

"Yeah, I thought white was too monotonous, so I painted it with some color." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"The paint is very beautiful. If the paper was directly colored, there would be no need to bother." Mrs. Zhou sighed casually.

Gu Xiaoyou's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Sister Zhou, you are so smart, why didn't I think of that? I have made so much paper, why not make colored paper!"

Gu Xiaoyou hugged Mrs. Zhou excitedly and spun her around on the ground: "Thank you so much, Sister Zhou. I'm going to find Master Meng now and start up the colored paper workshop."

After saying that, he happily ran to the workshop at the back, shouting as he ran: "Master Meng, Master Meng, we have a new job!"

"Oh, my little ancestor." Mrs. Zhou stroked Gu Xiaoyou's dizzy forehead and sighed funnyly.

Mrs. Zhou carefully put away the floor plan that Gu Xiaoyou spread on the table, then turned back to the front yard to continue looking at the store.

In the papermaking workshop at this time.

After Gu Xiaoyou told Master Meng about making colored paper, she looked at him expectantly: "Do you think it can be done?"

Master Meng smiled gently and said slowly: "What a coincidence. I happen to know a master who is good at dyeing."

"Great, then please ask Master Meng to invite him." Gu Xiaoyou said eagerly.

"There's no rush, he's gone out of town and won't be back for about five days. I won't be too late to recruit all the people he needs first." Master Meng said calmly.

"I'm impatient." Gu Xiaoyou smiled sheepishly: "Then go and recruit people, and I'll help you look after the workshop."

"Yes, little man, go right away." Master Meng responded and left the workshop.

Master Meng walked out of the workshop and shook his head in a funny way: "You said there's no rush. I'm going to recruit workers under the sun at noon. Alas."

He sighed and continued on his way.

When Gu Xiaoyou found out, she probably wanted to complain that Master Meng was a super slow person, so she couldn't help but urge him, because he might not be able to do business in the middle of the night.

In the afternoon, the storyteller and scholar who had made an appointment came, and Gu Xiaoyou told him stories in the workshop.

Both the storyteller and the scholar were listening to books in such an environment for the first time, and their emotions were a little more complicated.

They all lamented in their hearts that doing business is really not easy...

Fortunately, Master Meng rushed back before the sun set and rescued the scholar and storyteller who were embarrassed.

"Okay, that's the end of the story. You go to work at the book club tomorrow." Gu Xiaoyou sent them away and asked impatiently: "Master Meng, how are you recruiting people?"

Master Meng took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and said, "Please, you will have an interview tomorrow and then you can sign the contract."

"Okay, I'll go back and write the contract right away." Gu Xiaoyou left anxiously.
