Chapter 210
Adi didn't answer Shopkeeper Sun's words and directly placed the two piles of manuscripts on the counter.
"The Three Character Classic?" Shopkeeper Sun took the manuscript and flipped through it, then looked at Adi and understood what he meant, "Do you want to use the price of copying these two copies to pay for it?"
Adi nodded. It was not difficult to ask Sister Qingyou for a hundred cents, but it was his own business.
Solve your own affairs by yourself.
Besides, if Sister Qingyou knew that he was making money by copying books, she probably wouldn't agree.
Shopkeeper Sun was quite easy to talk to. He flipped through the two piles of manuscripts and found that there was nothing wrong with it. He asked the clerk to find a storybook and give it to Adi.
"Actually, I think it would be better for you to copy some official scripts." Shopkeeper Sun looked at the script and seemed to see a diligent and motivated young man slipping into the abyss, "This thing..."
You are misleading your children.
"How about you raise the price of the original book, just ten cents." Adi took the script and said with a smile.
There is no difference between the Huabenzi and the "Three Character Classic" to him. I really don't understand what shopkeeper Sun has to worry about. A weak-minded person can't read the Four Books and Five Classics all day long. On the contrary, he can just throw them into the market.
Stay true to your heart.
The key is people.
Shopkeeper Sun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "Okay, go quickly."
After getting the storybook as he wished, my brother was very happy and ran and jumped back home. Li Qingyou hadn't come back yet, so Xiaoshan Niang was alone, and there were a few tofu buyers.
Since the incident on Cross Street, Zhenzi Tofu has become popular again. The tofu at home is getting better and better, and it is sold out as soon as it is made every day.
Xiaoshan Niang was also very motivated. She originally only did it once a day but now she did it twice a day, once at the beginning of Mao Shi and once at the beginning of Wei Shi. Even so, many people came with great interest but came back empty-handed.
At this moment, Xiaoshan Niang handed the last two pieces of tofu to Aunt Sun next door, and was about to wash the molds and take a nap. After lunch, she would continue making tofu in the afternoon.
Second Aunt Sun took the tofu and said in a sour tone: "This girl from the Li family treats you very well. Is this your Xiaoshan that she has chosen?"
Otherwise, why would we leave such a profitable business to outsiders?
Xiao Shan Niang is an honest person, but that doesn't mean she will be bullied, otherwise she wouldn't be able to survive as a widow for so many years.
"Where is this?" Xiaoshan Niang smiled as she packed up the molds, "Speaking of which, Qingyou was at a loss. When he asked me for help, I also said that you, the neighbors in the east and west courtyards, can't you just ask anyone?
"
That's right, if you can't just find anyone, why let outsiders make money?
"What a pity, Qingyou said she can't trust outsiders, what can I do?" Xiaoshan Niang spread her hands, smiled and turned around to go into the house, leaving Aunt Sun in the yard who was staring blankly.
Adi found it quite interesting to watch the two women bickering, so he stumbled into the house with a storybook in his arms.
Shopkeeper Sun said that the calligraphy requirements for copying scripts are not very high, so they don't need to be so neat, but Adi still copied very carefully, writing stroke by stroke strictly in accordance with the requirements of the previous teacher.
Writing, which I hated most in the past, now brings me peace of mind when I write it. It's quite magical. Even Adi himself finds it incredible.
Adi is very busy here, and Li Qingyou is not idle either. Today is the day when Zhao Xiaoshan comes back, and it is also the day when the woodwork workshop delivers goods.
The land in Lijiazhuang has been purchased, and the procedures have been completed long ago. The surrounding walls have not yet been built, only wooden stakes have been driven and ropes have been used to encircle a circle with an area of about 100 acres.
Now Li Qingyou and Manager Cao were standing in the center of the circle, facing a pile of wood. This was the wood they had ordered from the carpentry workshop.
"These are all the best red pine. We always pay attention to integrity in doing business. You can inspect the goods as you like." The owner of the woodwork workshop was foaming at the mouth, pointing to the wood behind him that was covered with a raincloth, "This is the first batch.
The second batch will be delivered in ten days..."
Although there were two people, Li Qingyou and Cao Guanshi, standing in front of him, he was only looking at Guanshi Cao whether it was his eyes or words, and he completely treated Li Qingyou as nothing.
Patriarch Li and all the Li family members who were watching were filled with indignation. No matter what they said, even if they no longer wanted to see Li Qingyou, their surname was Li after all. They were from the same family and were members of the same family.
Especially Li Qingyou's current situation is of no benefit to them. The ranch is about to be built, and they still hope to earn some money by working here.
Furthermore, when the ranch is built in the future, people will have to be hired, right?
Look at those pieces of wood again, such as red pine. They are simply deceiving. They are just the most common poplar wood.
These are just the good ones placed outside. As for the ones inside the raincloth, someone just came from behind and took a peek. There were a lot of knots, and some rotten wood was also used to make up for it...
"It's obviously just a lie. No matter how good the red pine is, a few tree branches cut down here are stronger than it..." someone from the Li family behind him muttered in a low voice.
Someone next to him sighed, "It's a girl movie, I'm afraid it's hard to count on it."
The rest of the Li family also sighed. Mainly because of this, they were really frustrated.
The ranch is located next to Lijiazhuang. One of the owners of the named Dagu Ranch is from the Li family, but members of the Li family have been excluded. It is better to stay away, out of sight and out of mind.
The only one who felt a little confident was Patriarch Li. He knew that Li Qingyou had made preparations, but not for the wood. So he glanced at Li Qingyou from the corner of his eye from time to time. Seeing that she looked calm and composed, the uneasiness in his heart calmed down a little.
Some.
Li Qingyou quietly watched Manager Cao and Boss Liu of the woodwork workshop exchange "very happy conversations" with each other, but never said a word. He could also hear clearly the discussion of the Li clan members behind him, and they remained motionless.
It wasn't until Manager Cao and Boss Liu over there had finalized that "the goods have been inspected and there are no problems that they can be delivered and paid for" that they came forward.
"Wait a minute." Li Qingyou took a step forward and came to Manager Cao and Boss Liu, pointing to the raincloth behind, "The raincloth hasn't been opened yet. I'm curious about how this product is inspected, and..."
Li Qingyou looked back at Zhao Xiaoshan who had just gotten off the donkey cart and was running towards him, sweating profusely, and waved to him.
"Boss Liu's so-called red pine also needs to be carefully inspected." Li Qingyou said.
Boss Liu's face darkened, and he looked at Manager Cao on the side with dissatisfaction. He naturally knew what the goods he brought were like, and he would definitely not be able to withstand inspection. It's not that the wood couldn't be used, it was just a waste of time with them.
Compared with the price, it is absolutely priceless.
