Chapter 78: Start selling rice paper

Mrs. Zhou walked away with the rice paper, and Youlian Paper Shop also welcomed its first customer.

Gu Xiaoyou stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile: "Hello, this guest, do you want to buy paper or make a reservation?"

The guest asked in surprise: "Reservation? I just want to buy some paper."

When Gu Xiaoyou heard this, he knew that this guest was not a local.

She showed a standard service smile and explained: "It's like this, our paper shop sells two kinds of paper."

As Gu Xiaoyou said this, he picked up the paper on the shelf and displayed it.

"One is toilet paper, which costs ten cents for fifty sheets. Pre-orders are available for more than one hundred copies."

The guest touched the toilet paper and looked at it with curiosity. It was obviously the first time he saw toilet paper.

At this time, some customers had come to the shop, and Yang He and the waiters were waiting for them.

But the guests didn't notice the rice paper, they were all buying toilet paper with ease. Yang He glanced in the direction of the rice paper anxiously.

Gu Xiaoyou signaled Yang He to be calm. It happened that the guest from out of town had finished reading the toilet paper and asked curiously: "What about the other kind of paper?"

Gu Xiaoyou waited for these words, took the opportunity to pick up the rice paper, and said loudly: "The other kind is rice paper, which is cheap and easy to use. It is homemade by our Youlian paper shop."

Gu Xiaoyou deliberately spoke loudly, and all the customers in the paper shop heard it.

The out-of-town guest immediately took the rice paper into his hand and checked it. Sure enough, it was smoother than any rice paper he had ever seen.

When he was looking at the rice paper, he accidentally glanced at the price tag and said in surprise: "Such a good rice paper is sold so cheaply. Please bring me two stacks."

The movements between Gu Xiaoyou and the out-of-town guests aroused the thoughts of other customers.

They gathered around curiously and asked curiously: "When did the paper shop start selling rice paper?"

"It's just starting today. You can take a look. There is pen and ink over there. You can write it and try it out."

Gu Xiaoyou took some pieces of rice paper, put them on the counter, and placed the pen and paper next to them.

The foreign guest walked over immediately, picked up a pen and wrote a line of words on the rice paper.

"It's really good paper. I write smoothly and smoothly without any frustration. It's such a good paper. I've changed my mind. I want to buy ten stacks."

"Okay, I'll pack it for you."

Gu Xiaoyou picked up the thin hemp rope used to bind the paper, tied up the ten stacks of rice paper, and handed it to the out-of-town guests.

The out-of-town guests took the paper, happily paid, and left with satisfaction.

Other customers saw this and came to the counter to write test papers. Every customer who finished writing was pleasantly surprised.

"Wow, this is my first time using such good rice paper."

“It’s much easier to use than the original rice paper in our county.”

"Oh, the price is even cheaper, twice as cheap as Boss Ma's shop."

"Then I'll buy some. My husband-in-law needs it for reading and writing."

"I'll buy some too..."

"Boss, bring me a stack of rice paper."

Customers rushed to buy, and before long, half of the rice paper in Youlian Paper Shop was left.

After seeing off this wave of guests, Gu Xiaoyou's mouth was already dry.

She took a big sip of tea and said happily: "I didn't expect that there are quite a few people in our county who love reading and writing."

Yang He carried the teapot and filled Gu Xiaoyou's teacup, and said with a smile: "The boss's paper is good, even people who don't like reading like it."

Gu Xiaoyou took a sip of tea and joked: "When did you become so good at talking? Are you the same wife as Liang'er?"

"No, I'm just saying what's in my heart." Yang He's ears turned red and he said shyly.

Seeing Yang He's face turn red again, Gu Xiaoyou said helplessly: "How afraid of me are you? You blush when you talk to me."

Yang He shook his head repeatedly and explained nervously: "I'm either afraid of you, or..."

Gu Xiaoyou heard Yang He "just" for a long time with no result, and asked impatiently: "What is it?"

Yang He's face turned even redder and he lowered his eyelids slightly: "It's just that I'm not good at talking to girls."

"Hey, it turns out you are shy." Gu Xiaoyou patted Yang He on the shoulder: "This is easy to handle, just treat me as your brother."

"Ah?" Yang He blinked in confusion, suspecting that he heard wrongly: "I, I can't do it."

"Is there anything that can't be done? It's very simple. Just think of me as Zhu Cheng, and you won't be shy when you see me in the future." Gu Xiaoyou said carelessly.

Yang He's expression was stunned. He thought about Zhu Cheng's dark face in his mind, and then quietly glanced at Gu Xiaoyou's fair and delicate cheeks.

There is no way to mistake Gu Xiaoyou for Zhu Cheng. This is probably the most difficult task he has ever received while working under Gu Xiaoyou.

Yang He said awkwardly: "Boss, you and Brother Zhu are so different that I can't imagine it."

Gu Xiaoyou shrugged: "Forget it, I won't embarrass you anymore. It's a bit embarrassment for you to imagine that a young and beautiful girl like me is Zhu Cheng."

Yang He couldn't agree more, nodded seriously, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Xiaoyou said helplessly: "Let nature take its course. When we get used to it, you won't blush anymore."

Yang He's ears turned slightly red: "I will work hard, boss. I'll go to the warehouse first to get paper to put on the shelves."

"Go." Gu Xiaoyou waved her hand and watched Yang He walk away from her hand and foot.

Gu Xiaoyou sighed, probably only in ancient times could such innocent men exist.

It's so funny that I blush when talking to girls.

Yang He pretended to be calm and walked into the warehouse, breathing calmly in the warehouse.

When his heartbeat slowed down, he quietly poked his head out and peeked at Gu Xiaoyou who was receiving customers in the paper shop.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, there were more and more customers in the paper shop. Yang He quickly moved a pile of thick rice paper back to the paper shop and helped Gu Xiaoyou sell rice paper.

At the same time, Mrs. Zhou came to the school carrying a delicately wrapped paper bag and found the master who was responsible for teaching Liang'er.

"Hello, Master, I am Liang'er's mother." Mrs. Zhou saluted the Master and said respectfully.

The master touched his beard, signaled Mr. Zhou to get up, and asked gently: "Well, what's the matter with you coming?"

Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and said, "I came to ask Liang'er how his homework is going. He is a bit old for school and I'm afraid he won't adapt."

The master showed a look of understanding and his tone became gentler.

"Madam, there is no need to worry. Liang'er is talented, diligent and eager to learn. Although he started late, he is more than willing to endure hardship. He is a good child."

Mrs. Zhou showed a happy smile and said gratefully: "It's all thanks to Master's teachings."

With that said, Mrs. Zhou respectfully put the paper bag in her hand on Master's table.

The Master asked confusedly: "What do you mean, madam?"

"Liang'er has achieved today's results thanks to Master's care. This is my wish."
