The painting notes from Sanwei Bookstore spread throughout the entire city in just one day.
Not only those students who took the college examination knew about this.
All the literati and bachelors in the whole city, and even the ladies, have heard about this kind of painting paper.
After the bookstore closed in the evening, when Li Sanlang went home, he took the ledger back to report the results of the battle to Su Yu and Gu Changle.
"Today the bookstore sold a total of one hundred and forty-seven yuan plus three hundred and twenty yuan."
In just one day, so much money was sold.
Those big bookstores estimate that their monthly revenue is only this much.
This number can be said to be very impressive.
But it also shows that their inventory has been consumed a lot on the first day of reopening.
In the backyard workshop, the two brothers Lu Fang and Lu Yuan are working overtime every day to print. They can still hold on, but they won't be able to hold on for long.
So if business continues to be prosperous, supply will soon exceed demand.
Even if Su Yu wanted to engage in hunger marketing, he couldn't do it now.
After all, he doesn’t even have enough goods for hunger marketing.
Previously, due to financial problems, the staffing of the bookstore was too simple.
However, the shortcomings were revealed on the first day of opening.
This is such a happy trouble...
Fortunately, Su Yu now has a lot of money in his hands and can turn it over in a short time.
"We have asked Lu Yuan and the others to find two of their own children as apprentices to help with the printing."
"It won't take more than a few days to relieve the pressure on printing."
“If it’s not enough to sell, there’s nothing we can do.”
"At that time, we can only tell customers the truth."
Su Yu ordered.
Li Sanlang replied: "Okay, just follow your wishes, my boss."
The business of the bookstore was even better on the second day than on the first day.
A piece of drawing paper costing sixty cents is very expensive.
But there is still an endless stream of people buying.
There is no way, the Forbes family still has to help for a while.
Su Yu would have to go back the day after tomorrow, so he couldn't care too much.
In the past two days, except for taking a look at the study, Gu Changle and I spent the rest of the time working in the study.
By the afternoon of the day I returned, I had finally finished the task at hand.
The new pictures of beauties and story books were sent to the bookstore, waiting for engraving and printing.
Fortunately, although the men in Uncle Fu's family are busy, Hongying can still find time.
She helped pack Gu Changle and Su Yu's luggage.
So that they can set off on time on the third day after the results are released.
Zhang Wenyuan and the others had already taken a step ahead.
This time Su Yu couldn't go back to the village directly from the capital city, so he had to stay in the county town for one night.
He won the first prize in the county examination this time, and the county magistrate and local gentry held a banquet for him.
This is definitely a must-attend.
So a group of classmates all agreed to meet in the county town.
Su Yu specially packed some novels and drawing notebooks newly released by the bookstore and planned to give them to Zhang Wenyuan and others.
The carriage was the same one they rode in last time.
Li Erlang, who helped rent the car, said: "The owner of the car dealership heard that this is the first carriage to be rented for this hospital trial, and he has reserved a good carriage specially for you."
"Just like that night, we only charge the same as ordinary carriages."
"And I also ask you to use it first. If you use it for a long time, the cost will be discounted."
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh: "We and this carriage are really destined."
Li Erlang said with a naive smile: "Maybe when you win the lottery, the boss of the car dealership will give this carriage to you directly."
Such a good carriage is not cheap.
Moreover, it is time-consuming to build and tests the skills of the craftsmen.
Su Yu smiled and said, "This is too expensive, and raising horses is also a technical job, so forget it."
Li Erlang wanted to say that he was very good at raising horses.
But when the words came to his lips, they turned into a naive smile.
"When you go back this time, Mr. Gu asked me to give you a ride."
"Will you follow us back?"
Su Yu hesitated: "Will this delay your business?"
Li Erlang waved his hand and said, "How come?"
"Don't you want to pay me?"
"Now that you are a scholar, you will need a car to go out and socialize, and it will be convenient to buy things."
"I can sleep directly in the carriage at night, and you don't need to arrange another place to stay."
This is indeed much more convenient.
But there was no need for Li Erlang to spend the night in the carriage. Su Yu could just find him a family to live in in the village.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."
"It's not troublesome." Li Erlang said cheerfully, "You can make a lot of money just by taking a trip."
"This is a good job."
Just as Hongying was helping to take out Gu Changle's luggage, Su Yu smiled and said, "Then you and Hongying will not be seen for a while."
Hongying smiled and replied: "Business matters."
Li Erlang suddenly swallowed his saliva nervously, "Yes, yes..."
"When I make some money, I'll buy you some jewelry."
Hongying glanced at him, suddenly chuckled, and didn't answer any more.
Li Erlang opened his mouth, but couldn't hold back any more words.
It happened that Old Man Gu came out with Gu Changle, who had been dozing off for the past two days.
It broke the somewhat strange atmosphere.
Su Yu pulled Gu Changle over and put her on the carriage first.
He will be back next month, and Su Yu will live in Fucheng forever after he enrolls in Panfu University.
So there is no parting sadness.
When the carriage started, Gu Changle weakly waved his hand to Old Man Gu.
"Grandpa, I'm leaving first."
After putting down the car curtain, she continued to sleep against Su Yu.
It’s not very far from the capital city to the county seat.
The carriage arrived after running for less than half a day.
Baipo County is one of the counties in Jiangling Prefecture. Its economy and literary style are average, with nothing outstanding.
Compared with those large counties with prosperous literary styles and prominent schools in the county, they naturally have little sense of existence.
So.
After learning that there was a case leader in the college examination in Baipo County, the county magistrate also directly came forward and held a banquet for the students who participated in the college examination.
Regardless of whether they are selected or failed.
They will all come to attend this banquet.
Therefore, the county town today is particularly lively.
Even the price of the inn is almost comparable to that of the county examination days.
Fortunately, Su Yu now has plenty of money and doesn't mind the money.
He directly asked for a room in the upper room and took a comfortable lunch break with Gu Changle.
After getting up from lunch break, it was already afternoon.
Su Yu was going to attend the county magistrate's party.
Su Yu said to Gu Changle, who had finally had enough sleep and was sitting on the bed holding the quilt in a daze, "I'm going out."
"I don't need Erlang to send him off. Let him stay in the wing next door. If you need something, just call him."
Gu Changle nodded, yawned and said, "Well, go ahead."
"I'll ask the shop assistant to make some hangover soup and simmer it for you to drink when you come back."
Su Yu saw that she had just woken up and was not as calm and calm as usual, but looked a little dazed. He smiled and reached out to touch her smooth hair.
"Okay, wait until I come back."
The two of them said goodbye.
Only then did Su Yu walk out of the inn alone.
When we arrived at the banquet venue, we saw Song Youming, Zhang Wenyuan and others from a distance.
They were also waiting at the door, probably waiting for Su Yu to come over and go in together.
Su Yu quickly approached and said, "I've been waiting for a long time."
"We just arrived."
After Song Youming finished speaking, he pointed inside again.
"Guess who I saw?"
Su Yu asked strangely: "Who did you see?"
Song Youming smiled mischievously and said, "That He Hongda was at the grocery store last time."
"It was agreed before that if you are on the college examination list, he will have to apologize to you in the place where the results are released."
"But you weren't there that day, so this didn't happen."
"He was also present at today's banquet."
"Do you think he still remembers this?"
