Chapter 53 53 Buying pen, ink and paper

Although    was forced, Song Xianggong actually married a wife during the period of filial piety.

   This is a huge stain for readers.

   In this way, even if Song Xianggong embarks on an official career, he will be attacked for this.

  It's a pity that a genius in the sky was ruined like this...

   "If Song Xianggong is willing to continue the work of copying books, our bookstore will naturally be happy."

   "The rules are the same as before. The deposit for a book is 70 wen. After the transcription is completed, the bookstore will pay 45 wen."

   "The paper and pen and ink used for copying are your own. In addition, in the process of copying, there should be no omissions and mistakes, and there should not be too many deletions and changes." The owner said.

   Qin Xiaoyao was a little surprised.

   This condition is really harsh enough.

   With such high requirements, you only earn forty-five wen for copying a book?

   If you deduct the money for blank books and pen and ink, how much is left?

   Qin Xiaoyao smiled and looked at the shopkeeper.

   "Complete! Then please help the shopkeeper to arrange two volumes of books, two pieces of paper for copying books, one knife of low-grade white paper, and an extra piece of ink." He said.

   In this era of paper, a knife is a hundred sheets.

  The paper used for copying is different from white paper, with lines drawn on it, and the area of ​​the paper is the same as that of ordinary books.

   If the paper is stitched with needle and thread, it can be made into a book. Some are similar to the notebooks she used before the end of her life.

  The white paper is completely white, the paper is relatively large, and the price varies according to the quality.

   Don't ask how she knew.

   Of course, I learned about it after my predecessor got married to a beautiful husband.

   The shop owner was a little surprised. Before he could answer, he heard Qin Xiaoyao say again: "Oh, another small brush. The smallest one will do!"

   She will often deliver goods to Laifulou in the future, and she can settle accounts by herself even if she has a pen, right? In addition, perhaps, she can also get a booklet out to keep accounts.

   "Okay, Mrs. Song, please wait a moment." The shop owner didn't ask any further questions and answered.

   immediately asked the guy to fetch something for Qin Xiaoyao, and went to the counter to settle the account.

   "The book deposit is 70 wen per volume, and two volumes are 140 wen."

   "Paper for copying books, 15 wen for one knife, 30 wen for two knives."

   "One piece of ink, fifteen characters."

   "Low-grade white paper, thirty cents per knife."

   "A small brush with five characters."

   The owner recited it and wrote it down on the list.

After the    was memorized, I started to fiddle with the abacus according to the numbers on the list.

   "A total of two hundred and twenty texts."

   Calculated the result, and the shopkeeper wrote the number on the list.

   then gave the list to Qin Xiaoyao.

   Qin Xiaoyao took it, glanced at it, and took out the money.

   The owner made the inventory correct, so he asked the guy to help Qin Xiaoyao send the things out.

   Qin Xiaoyao quickly smiled and thanked the two of them, walked out quickly, and took the basket.

   After putting things into the backpack, he thanked the guy again, and then he carried the backpack and left with straw sandals.

   The guy stood at the door and watched Qin Xiaoyao leave, sighing again in his heart.

   Leaving Lingyun Bookstore, Qin Xiaoyao did not delay much on the road, and went directly to the West Market selling straw sandals.

   Luckily, four pairs of straw sandals were sold on the way.

   As soon as we arrived in the West City, the noise rang out.

   Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly walked towards his father's pork stall.

   arrived at the place and found that the father was busy with business.

   Hurry up and help again.

   Qin Dazhuang saw his daughter coming and brought a lot of straw sandals.

   While helping customers cut meat, he spoke aloud about selling straw sandals.

  Guests see that the quality of straw sandals is good, and many people pay to buy them.

  In this way, the father and daughter have been busy for a long time before they can cope with this wave of peaks.

   "Forget it in normal times, Dad, you can't be too busy alone on this big market day."

   "If it doesn't work, let the eldest or second brother come to help, right?" Qin Xiaoyao sat on the pole and looked at his father.

   Qin Dazhuang laughed "Haha".

   "Got it! I've agreed with them. In the morning of the big show, the two of them will take turns to come and watch the booth with me, so don't worry!"

   Qin Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"to make!"

   Qin Dazhuang smiled and looked at his daughter.

   "Did you send the 200 catties of yam that Laifulou asked for?" asked.

  The old brother came to him yesterday and said that his daughter was promising.

   That envious look on his face, he still feels happy when he thinks of it now.

   The girl's temperament has indeed changed. Better than before, and wiser.

   "Send it, and I also sold some straw sandals on the way, and then these are the rest." Qin Xiaoyao replied.

   Qin Dazhuang nodded.

   Then go to the money basket to get the money.

   "Twenty-one cents, the money for the seven pairs of straw sandals last time." He immediately gave the copper plate to Qin Xiaoyao.

   "Hehe, thank you dad!" Qin Xiaoyao didn't refuse, he got up and happily accepted the money.

   Qin Dazhuang smiled and looked at the remaining straw sandals in his daughter's basket.

   "How much is left, I'll settle the money for you first."

   Qin Xiaoyao just wanted to refuse, but heard Qin Dazhuang say again: "Your aunt agreed."

   "She knows that I will help you sell straw sandals, and a pair can earn a penny, so I can continue to buy from you in the future."

   "Just do it, when my place is a grocery store!"

   When the girl sells straw sandals to the grocery store, people also give money first.

   When I got to him, it made no sense that he, a father, would not pay a cent of his capital.

   Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.

   looked at the straw sandals left in the basket.

   "It's done." Finally answered.

   Then he began to count the straw sandals in the basket.

   After counting, I found that there were fifty-two pairs left.

   After making a calculation in his heart, Qin Xiaoyao realized that he had sold fifty pairs of straw sandals at his father's stall after retailing on the road and selling to grocery stores.

   praised himself in his heart, and Qin Xiaoyao reported it to Qin Dazhuang.

   "A total of fifty-two pairs, one hundred and fifty-six characters."

   Qin Dazhuang turned around and was about to get the money.

   "Wait, I want two catties of pork belly! Deduct twenty-six cents, and Dad will give me one hundred and thirty cents!" Qin Xiaoyao said quickly.

  The family is making money now, and the food can be improved.

   Qin Dazhuang was taken aback.

  I didn't want to collect money, but after thinking about it, I nodded with a smile.

   "Sure! Cut two pounds of pork belly for my daughter!" He said, and then went to cut meat for his daughter.

When    started, he deliberately cut two taels more.

   Qin Xiaoyao didn't stare, nor did he see how much her father had cut.

   Just listened to his father's report and said that he weighed two pounds, and then he believed it.

   Then he took the meat and money that her father handed over.

   At this moment, Li Da Niu finally came.

   Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao was still there, Li Da Niu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   panted and ran to Qin Xiaoyao's side.

   "Fortunately you're still here. You've been late at my parents' place for a while!"

   "Uncle Qin!" Seeing Qin Dazhuang looking over, Li Daniu turned her head again and hurriedly called Qin Dazhuang.

   Qin Dazhuang smiled and nodded.

   I learned that my daughter is having a good relationship with the daughter of the Li family, and I look at her very caringly.

   "Sit for a while, Uncle will cut the meat for you first!" He said.
