Chapter 1308 A new way to make money
After entering the shop that was being renovated, Luo Qingluan took a look inside, and it was fine.
Master Liu followed her until Luo Qingluan entered the back hall and sat on a stone bench under a tree in the yard that he spoke: "Boss, actually..."
He raised his hand to stop him, and Luo Qingluan said, "Just call me your boss."
She is the only one who decides the shop, and she is called the boss lady, for fear that others will misunderstand there is another boss.
Master Liu didn't care, so he immediately changed his words: "Well, boss, this is the matter. Not long after you left the day before yesterday, a few people came to ask about the shop. I thought they also had a fancy to this shop, so I told them casually that they had bought it, but the other party actually asked us to sell it to him."
Luo Qingluan was not there at that time, so the matter was handled by Master Liu.
He was the decoration craftsman hired by Luo Qingluan, and he brought the rest of the craftsmen, so naturally all the affairs here were handed over to him.
It was not the first time that Master Liu encountered such a thing, so he immediately told the story of the owner of the shop. Who knew that the other party insisted on buying it and asked Master Liu to make an appointment with the boss, but was rejected.
At this time, the other party said something bad. Master Liu and his group were rough people and not so many elegant people. A young craftsman under his command quarreled with the other party, and in the end, there were many people and powerful people, and they drove the other party away.
When he left, the other party said that he would not make them look good. Master Liu didn't take it seriously at that time, and now he realized that the plaque that had just been hung on had been smashed. He immediately thought of the people the day before yesterday.
"Can you know them?" Luo Qingluan asked.
"I don't know." Master Liu shook his head.
Although he was responsible for decorating shops and houses in the city, he was a craftsman after all and could not be on the table. Last time, those people should be the rich butlers and the likes of the servants. If they were interested in checking, they should also be able to check it.
Luo Qingluan stopped and smiled faintly. She had no time to check these things. If the other party really wanted to find fault, it would come to the door sooner or later, and she would just wait to take the call. She would naturally ask them to compensate for the destroyed plaque.
He told Master Liu and others to continue working and try to get out of work within three days, and Luo Qingluan left.
In addition to the shop decoration, she also had to check the situation of various calligraphy shops. Beijun City is now well-developed in transportation, and there are endless merchants coming and going. In the bookstore industry alone, there are no less than fifty stores in the city.
The books run by various book stores are also different. The most common ones are naturally the various inscriptions of candidates, articles of great scholars, and previous years' test papers and theories, etc. Another major category is the stories that ordinary people like to read. For example, talented men and good humans, and legends of gods and monsters are now very popular. Those who are a little literate are almost everyone with one.
The second is professional, such as travel notes, planting, breeding, etc., but very few.
This type of book appeared later, and it should have been written by some people after a sudden inspiration and asked professionals. For example, planting, there are many specific methods for planting grains and vegetables, such as when to sow, how to loosen the soil, fertilize and water, etc., and what kind of grains roughly harvested, all of which are written in the book.
Unfortunately, this type of book should have been for farmers to read, but most of the farmers in Western Chu are illiterate and it is useless to buy it. And even if they are literate, farmers actually know very well about their old profession and do not need to read books at all.
As for some people who don’t know anything about it, such as businessmen, these books
I have no interest at all. As for ordinary people, they are not interested in such things as facing the loess and facing the sky. Who would buy books to read?
So much so that when this book was launched, it did not cause any storm. In the end, it could only be placed in the corners and covered with dust. Otherwise, it would be used to plaster the table and go to the toilet, which would be considered waste utilization.
If some bookstores didn’t come to buy one and get one free and give away such books, they would probably not be circulated on the market.
Luo Qingluan visited the three shops, basically all of which were sold to candidates, and most of the curious stories, so she probably knew it. Although she was full of novel stories from later generations and had much more inspiration than people in this era, she still wanted to play something fresh.
She must be interested in anything that others have never played with. No matter what or any industry, she needs to be innovative so that she can add fresh blood, maintain vitality and benign competition and development.
As a coincidence, Luo Qingluan's inspiration was sent to Tianxing Pavilion again. She suddenly thought of it. After observing for a while, she felt more and more interesting. As for the effect, she had to give it a try.
Anyway, she is not afraid of failure, as long as it is interesting.
In the eighth bookstore, Luo Qingluan flipped through the book in her hand, and finally lost interest and was ready to leave.
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind me: "Hey, this girl, I saw that you have been reading for a long time and haven't found any books, but I don't like them?"
When he turned around, Luo Qingluan realized that it was the boss who was talking.
A middle-aged man in his forties looks kind-hearted and smiling, which makes people feel good.
He is no longer the identity of Princess Chu, and Luo Qingluan doesn’t have to worry about being discovered. He just thinks he is an ordinary person, so he smiles and said, “I read too many books, and I can’t help but pick them. In fact, the boss has a lot of books here, but I don’t like it.”
"Oh, the girl also likes reading books, it's rare."
The boss praised and said enthusiastically: "I think the girl is also a book lover, otherwise why would she come to the bookstore? She has been to see those rouge shops and jewelry stores for a long time, right? Why don't the girl tell me what books she likes? I'll help you find them?"
The enthusiastic boss, Luo Qingluan praised in her heart, thinking that she was afraid that she would hire a shopkeeper who was so wise and could attract customers, which would save her from the hard work of sitting in the bookstore all day long.
She shook her head and smiled, "No, I've seen it all, and I'm not interested in it for the time being."
"Maybe the girl doesn't like reading these?" As she said that, the boss was unwilling to accept it, so he brought two blue leather thread-bound books and handed them to Luo Qingluan.
When she saw it, it was indeed a love story of a talented man and a beautiful woman.
If she had changed to another girl, she would really be afraid of her liking it, but she wrote such a story herself, and she had seen so many in her previous life. She was already familiar with various plots and routines, and there was no subject that could arouse her interest.
He said goodbye to the boss again. Seeing that Luo Qingluan was about to go out, the boss started to 'hey' and kept the guest again and again: "Girl wait. It seems that the girl is really interested. I still have some niche books here. I wonder if the girl is interested?"
Is this boss going to promote Xiao Huangwen to her again?
Luo Qingluan was not impatient, but couldn't help laughing.
I remembered that when she was in Xichu, someone promoted such shameful books to her, which caused her to be
After getting interested, not only did he make a spoof, but he also made a lot of money.
However, are the bosses of the North County so bold that they actually promote Xiao Huangwen to a woman like her?
Seeing Luo Qingluan stopping, the boss immediately asked her to wait, hurriedly found a few books from the bookshelf, and came over with the books in his arms and said with a smile: "I wonder if the girl likes playing the piano, making red and painting, or do she have any other interests that she likes but is not very good at?"
What does this mean?
Luo Qingluan became more and more confused about the boss's meaning, and said deliberately: "I usually play the piano occasionally, but it's average, but I don't play it well. What's wrong? Can the boss still teach me how to play the piano?"
As if he was waiting for Luo Qingluan's words, the boss's face suddenly shone brightly. He enthusiastically picked out a bunch of books in his hand and put them in her hand: "Girl, look at this, keeping it suitable for you."
Luo Qingluan looked down at it——"Eighteenth Theory of Piano Techniques"
"This is……"
"Don't the girl likes playing the piano, but she doesn't know much? I bought this book and went back to read it carefully. Keep the girl learning to play the piano. The sound of nature will be just around the corner!"
The boss said the spit was flying and talking endlessly, pointing to the book, "This is the first red card in the Dream Fairy Tower in Beijun City, written by Miss Miaoyin himself. She taught her how she learned the piano, as well as various fingering techniques, how to practice, etc., and various experiences. As long as the girl reads it carefully and studies it carefully, she will naturally be able to play the piano well."
There is still such a thing?
Luo Qingluan was simply amazing. Isn’t this a professional textbook from his previous life? It was actually studied at this time and written into a book for sale. It seems that the ancients could learn from one example and be very smart.
However, when Luo Qingluan read the book, she was immediately disappointed again.
She had heard of the first red card of Miaoyin girl in Mengxianlou, who was only selected last year. Naturally, she still followed the set she gave to Nangong Yu. More than 20 brothels were lively for more than ten days, and finally stood out from more than 200 brothel women in the entire Beijun County and eventually became the first red card.
Miss Miaoyin is a beautiful girl. She has been popular for more than a year and has been a constant customer service until now, but she has always adhered to the principle of selling her skills but not selling herself. Luo Qingluan naturally knew that this was Nangong Yu's routine, because she lived in seclusion, but she had never been to join in the fun.
Now that I heard that the book was written by Miaoyin, Luo Qingluan read it, she found that the contents in it were inconsistent with the boss's publicity.
The whole article is full of Miaoyin tone, talking about her love for music, what kind of music is like. The style of the song is grand, or gentle and sad, and she talks about some of her past events and what she feels about. However, there are only a few sentences about teaching the techniques and fingerings of playing the piano, and it is not even shallow to deep. If you are a beginner, you cannot understand it at all.
Even if I can already play the piano, I am afraid I can still see it incredible and in the fog.
So, buying this book is useless, it’s just a lot of money.
"How about it, girl, this book only costs ten taels of silver, do you want it?" the boss said enthusiastically.
"Haha, ten taels of silver can be bought by Miss Miaoyin's masterpiece, but it's not expensive." As he said that, Luo Qingluan took out the silver and paid the book to leave.
Although she didn't need this book, she reminded her of a professional textbook... Haha, it seems that she can also study a line and write it into a book for sale!
