"Sir, this is what happened before and after. I was forced by them to have no choice, so I came here to bother you~!"
In the study room.
After Sun Huaiyuan told Li Zexuan what happened in the morning, he said with a grimace.
It is said that Li Zexuan, the hands-off shopkeeper, thinks it is easy, but Sun Huaiyuan, the front-end shopkeeper, is not at all relaxed. He must be smooth in all directions and cannot provoke enemies for no reason. When facing all kinds of customers, he must be careful and smile. welcome.
"Oh~? These people are so interesting, they actually came to you to ask for toilet paper~!"
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then mused: "Nowadays, the production of toilet paper in the workshop can be supplied, but with so many people snatching it together, it is still easy to cause a shortage of supply. Oh, that's all, let's sell it first. Come on, Shopkeeper Sun, please tell the workshop soon and ask them to increase the production scale of toilet paper. If there is not enough manpower, just recruit people from Meicun and Zhuangzi near Meicun~!"
Now Qiquge Workshop has taken root in Meicun, and its scale is several times larger than before. Moreover, it is more convenient for papermaking, a highly polluting process, to be placed near the river.
"Yes, Sir~!"
Li Zexuan's decision was beyond Sun Huaiyuan's expectation, because he had not persuaded Li Zexuan to sell toilet paper before, but Li Zexuan didn't take it seriously every time. He knew that the main reason was that Qiqi Pavilion now has fairy mirrors and colored glazes. Cup, the wine shop has hugely profitable products such as Shenxianzui and Wenwenxiang. Li Zexuan didn't take the profit from toilet paper seriously. He didn't have any hope when he came this time, but unexpectedly, Li Zexuan actually agreed.
Sun Huaiyuan left with satisfaction. This result allowed him to do business with Cao Wendong's group of wealthy businessmen. He no longer had to face difficulties on both sides. Of course he had reason to be happy.
Li Zexuan was sitting in the study, tapping the handle of the chair rhythmically with his fingers, a thoughtful look on his face.
"Ms. sir, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something~?"
Han Yuxi saw Sun Huaiyuan coming out of the study before, but Li Zexuan didn't come out. She couldn't help but come in to find out. She saw Li Zexuan leaning on the Taishi chair with an incomprehensible expression, so she stepped forward , asked softly.
"Oh~! Madam~! Come on, come and sit!"
Li Zexuan came back from his thoughts, moved his butt some distance to the right of the chair, then pointed to the free space on the left and smiled at Han Yuxi.
His Taishi chairs are relatively spacious, and they are more than enough for one person, but a bit crowded for two people. This guy just wants to blatantly take advantage of his wife.
Han Yuxi gave her husband an angry look, but after thinking about it, she walked over and sat down next to Li Zexuan. Li Zexuan smiled knowingly, put his arms around his wife's waist, and said:
"Shopkeeper Sun just came here to petition for the people. Today, Qiqu Pavilion was surrounded by many businessmen and ordinary people who wanted to buy toilet paper. It seems that all the people of Tang Dynasty have been harmed by toilet paper!"
After all, this was a private matter. Remembering that she had used toilet chips in the past, Han Yuxi blushed slightly and asked: "My husband, did you just agree? When I saw shopkeeper Sun leaving, I was in a very good mood! "
"Haha, my wife is smart!"
Li Zexuan praised, and then sighed: "In fact, Weihu has never cared about the meager profits brought by toilet paper, but Weihu has also ignored the needs of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the original intention of creating Qiquge~! When it was first established The purpose of Qiquge is to create novel and interesting things in the world to facilitate people's lives, but now, alas~! Madam, do you think my husband is obsessed with money?"
In fact, this was also the main reason why Li Zexuan had just decisively agreed to Sun Huaiyuan. The words of Cao Wendong and others in front of the Qiqu Pavilion made him feel happy and alert! He previously thought that toilet paper could not make much money, so he never considered selling toilet paper. Obviously, this went against his original intention of establishing Qiquge.
The market should not be determined by profit, but by practicality, otherwise he will become a profit-seeking businessman instead of a great man of the times!
"Puch~! So my husband is struggling with this~?"
When Han Yuxi heard this, she smiled and said: "Actually, my husband, you thought it was wrong. From what I can see, my husband has been slow to take out the toilet paper for sale. It's not because the profit is small, but because my husband is currently focused on the academy." In terms of affairs, I just don’t want to deal with these trivial matters!”
"Hey~? It seems so~!"
After Han Yuxi said this, Li Zexuan's mood immediately improved a lot. He hugged his wife and smiled shamelessly: "Haha~! Anyone who knows me is a lady~!"
.............................
In the evening, Li Zexuan went to the academy again, because there were more than 400 foreign students living there, the youngest being the six-year-old prodigy Jia Jiayin. It was okay to have a military training instructor to take care of him on weekdays, but if there was no one to take care of him on weekends, he was worried that the students would cause some trouble in the academy.
"Wang Meng? Sun Zifan? Why are you two brats back again? Could it be that you didn't wake up and misremembered the day you went to school~?"
As luck would have it, as soon as Li Zexuan entered the academy gate, he saw Sun Zifan and Wang Meng walking in front of him with a package on their shoulders.
Li Zexuan took three steps and two steps at a time, quickly caught up with him, and asked.
"Uh~! Hello Shan Chang~!"
When Sun Zifan heard Li Zexuan's voice, he quickly stopped, turned around and saluted with his hands in his hands.
"Hello Shan Chang~!"
Wang Meng also followed suit and saluted.
"Hmm~! You two haven't answered my question yet~!"
Li Zexuan glanced at the two of them and said calmly.
"Uh, Chief, that's it! When the students returned home, they realized that wasting time at home would be more fulfilling than coming to the academy to study, so they returned to the academy and planned to take advantage of the vacation time to preview the lessons they would learn later~!"
Sun Zifan rolled his eyes and explained to Li Zexuan.
Wang Meng nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Yeah, yeah, yeah~! Chief Shan~! I also came to the academy to preview my homework~!"
Will I believe your lies~?
Li Zexuan glared at the two of them and said angrily: "That's nonsense. Believe it or not, I will ask Instructor Pang to train you two alone for a day tomorrow~?"
"Gah~?"
Sun Zifan was startled and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no! Chief, I...students are not used to staying at home, so they returned to the academy. After all, life in the academy is good, they can eat well and sleep well." Good shit! Chou Niu, Bao Lin, and Qing Que came back earlier than us and came over at noon~!"
This guy really wanted to say, "I just came to the academy to eat, drink, and use toilet paper," but if he said it so bluntly, he would definitely get beaten again.
Li Zexuan was stunned. Then he glanced at Wang Meng and said, "Wang Meng, I heard that you are very free in the morning!"
Wang Meng's eyebrows twitched and his calves trembled. He was about to explain, but he heard Li Zexuan say: "Okay, you go ahead!"
Only then did he grant Rumeng amnesty and drag Sun Zifan away quickly!
