Several people entered the house, and Hongying brought out the food that Wen had left in the kitchen.
Fortunately, when they entered the city, someone came to report them.
Otherwise the food will really get cold.
Old Man Gu had already finished his meal and was sitting aside drinking tea leisurely.
"By the way, you said you wanted some tea leaves earlier, so I asked Old Man Zhao to get some."
"Put it on the drawer over here. You can just grab it if you want."
Su Yu quickly thanked him: "Thank you, grandpa."
"Grandpa Zhao, I wonder what kind of gift we should give in return to say thank you?"
Old man Zhao gave them something as a gift, so Su Yu thought of giving him a gift in return.
But Old Man Gu suddenly smiled and said: "Last time, Changle had someone give him a lot of beauty notes and story books from your bookstore. He liked them very much. Just give him some new ones next time."
Old Man Gu still remembered what Su Yu said last time, so he returned to the palace and took the time to go to Old Man Zhao's house to talk to him about the matter.
Thinking of Old Zhao's expression when he saw him, Old Man Gu felt proud.
The old man thought he hadn't seen the writing paper on his desk that he had just used to write poems. Wasn't it Gu Changle who had someone send it to him?
Upon hearing that Old Man Gu wanted to get tea from him, Old Man Zhao agreed without saying a word.
He also secretly asked if those beauty notes and storybooks were all done by Su Yu, as Gu Changle said.
He also asked Old Man Gu when his bookstore would release a new book of stories and asked him to help deliver it as soon as possible.
Old Man Gu pointed Qiao at him and said he would go back and ask Su Yu.
Old Man Zhao couldn't wait and felt that Old Man Gu was unreliable, so he decided to write a letter and ask him to take it to Gu Changle.
Old Man Gu said to Gu Changle again: "Your grandfather Zhao wrote you a letter, and I put it under the ruler placed in your study."
"Go and see it when you have time."
Gu Changle was eating his meal and nodded slightly when he heard the words.
Su Yu also replied: "Next month when Fu Xue enters Pan, I will release a new batch of pictures of beauties and story books."
"It will be sent to Grandpa Zhao in advance."
Old Man Gu thought to himself that Old Man Zhao might not even be able to wait.
Judging from his eagerness, he might be unable to hold himself back and come over in person in a few days.
...
After returning to the village for about a month, the bookstore also ran for a month.
Su Yu went to the bookstore early the next morning.
The bookstore hasn't opened yet, but there are already many people waiting outside.
Li Sanlang was wearing a brand new cotton-padded jacket, holding a small notebook, and told Su Yu what happened this month.
"The apprentices recruited by the backyard workshop are now basically able to do printing independently, but Lu Gong and others have been busy carving new pictures of beauties and story books during this period, so the bookstore's inventory is still not enough."
"So we follow what the owner said before he left, and we will sell as much as we have for the time being, on a first-come, first-served basis."
"It took about half a month to do it, and now I only have a small batch of goods."
Su Yu explained it before he left.
How much should be sold first, but at the same time some should be kept for hoarding.
Only when the new beauty pictures and story books come out can we ensure that the first batch of beauty pictures and story books will not be broken.
Su Yu originally wanted to engage in hunger marketing to attract customers.
But later he discovered that he didn't need to do it at all.
Even if the people in this small bookstore work day and night until they vomit blood, it is impossible to meet the production demand.
So just let nature take its course.
The bookstore reopened the day after the results were released, when all the candidates in Fucheng were still there but were about to leave.
Those candidates who left will talk to their classmates when they return.
This way.
The beauty notes and story books produced by Su Yu's bookstore soon spread throughout the counties under the city.
Many people come here to buy and browse every day.
So this month, business has not slowed down at all.
There is never enough to sell.
Under such circumstances, Li Sanlang asked Su Yu: "So at the beginning of next month, are we going to continue to launch new beauty notes?"
The old products are still selling like hotcakes, and new products are about to be launched. Are you a little anxious?
Su Yu replied: "While our reputation has just been established, we still have to strike while the iron is hot before launching it."
"The next time we release something new, it will be during the Chinese New Year."
"Oh..." Since his boss ordered so, Li Sanlang had no objection.
He wrote down Su Yu's instructions in a small notebook, and called the new people in the bookstore to see Su Yu.
Two new guys were hired, both men from Fucheng and with a clean family background.
The original boy, Archie, temporarily became the little boss and led them to work.
Both of them bowed and said hello to Su Yu with some restraint: "My boss."
Su Yu nodded: "Now that you're here, you know the rules of our bookstore."
"If you do a good job, I will be rewarded."
"Thank you, boss!" The two of them thanked each other happily and were no longer so formal.
Their boss looked young, but surprisingly he was quite kind.
the most important is.
I heard from Archie that not long after the bookstore changed owners, a lot of reward money had been given to the two craftsmen in the backyard workshop.
With such a good-tempered and generous boss, they naturally want to continue working here.
Su Yu saw them and checked the bookstore's account with Li Sanlang.
The profit was very impressive. After excluding costs and various expenses, Su Yu could basically pay off all the bookstore's debts in one month.
If Su Yu's workshop could keep up with the printing speed, this profit would probably double again.
But bit off more than you can chew.
Su Yu is already very satisfied with this kind of income.
When the profit is higher next month, Su Yu will pay off all the installments at the back of the bookstore.
When the time comes, you will be debt-free and you will still have some money left in your hands.
In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.
Now Su Yu has his lovely wife by his side, has gained fame, and has a small bookstore with a stable income.
Su Yu was quite satisfied with these.
After encouraging and praising Li Sanlang, Su Yu went to the backyard workshop to check the printing progress of his new beauty pictures and story books.
After returning home after a busy day, Su Yu directly gave Old Man Gu fifty taels of silver.
"so much?"
What Gu Changle said at that time was to borrow thirty taels from him.
Although the old man didn't have to pay for the thirty taels of silver at all, the fact was that in Su Yu's eyes, it was from him.
Su Yu said, "Well, this is the money I paid back to grandpa."
After giving out thirty taels, within two months, I got back fifty taels.
These twenty taels are naturally extra interest.
Old Man Gu smiled and joked: "I can borrow more money than others to get their ear holes enlarged."
Big ear hole is not the ancient version of loan sharking.
They went out and returned thirteen times, and they didn't lend Su Yu the thirty taels themselves to make money.
"If there are more, Changle and I will honor grandpa."
Su Yu said seriously: "You are Changle's grandfather, and you are also my grandfather."
"We will honor you well from now on and let grandpa enjoy his old age in peace!"
Old Man Gu looked at Su Yu happily with loving eyes.
"Grandpa knows that you are filial."
Su Yu also smiled and said, "Of course it should be."
"but……"
Su Yu hesitated, but still asked.
"I wonder where Changle's parents are?"
"I have been married to Changle for some time now, and I have gained fame."
"If possible, I would like to go with Changle to meet you two."
