Farming in another world to make a fortune

Yu Zhou was stunned for a moment, and first saluted Shopkeeper Qian, "Hello, Shopkeeper Qian."

Then he turned to that brother again, bowed in the same way, but he didn't speak, but he had a rough guess about the identity of this brother in his heart.

Sure enough, without waiting for Shopkeeper Qian to speak, the brother raised his chin and said, "Everyone sit down."

Yu Zhou glanced at Shopkeeper Qian, and after he sat down, he sat down opposite that brother.

The man poured a cup of tea for Shopkeeper Qian and Yu Zhou each, and then asked flatly, "You wrote these two scripts?"

"Yes." Yu Zhou nodded.

"The story of the fox demon is still good to read, but the words are too straightforward." The brother said, "If you want to sell it, you must find someone to modify it first."

"It's all up to you." Yu Zhou is very clear about his own level. It took him a lot of thought just not to write some characters in traditional characters. Moment is not so easy to reverse.

The brother nodded with a satisfied expression, then paused for a moment before asking again: "As for the other book...why do you want to write a story that happened to my brother?"

Yu Zhou thought for a while, and he couldn't say that Fang Fei wrote it himself, so he used another reasonable answer: "Because the person I like is a brother."

The person behind the desk was stunned and didn't answer for a while, even Shopkeeper Qian gave Yu Zhou a surprised look.

Yu Zhou was a little uncomfortable being watched by them, so he picked up the teacup on the table and tasted it lightly. As a result, the tea soup entered his throat, and the rich and mellow taste made him unable to resist taking another sip.

"Although this script is good, I don't think it will be easy to sell. What do you think?" In the end, the brother said first, "I'll take the script first. For every copy sold, I will give you fifty cents. If you can't If you sell it, you will have no money."

Isn't this what it means to get money by commission?Yu Zhou put down his teacup and asked, "Is it the same for both books?"

The brother said: "That's the only book, and the fox demon book, we can buy it with a tael of silver."

Yu Zhou can earn about one or two taels of silver by copying books for a month, so he nodded without thinking, "Okay."

"Since there is no problem, let's go get the money with the shopkeeper."

When he went out from the house, Yu Zhou saw from the corner of his eye that the brother was looking down at the stack of papers where he wrote his storybook.

After walking a certain distance, he tentatively asked Shopkeeper Qian: "Who was that just now?"

"Our boss." Shopkeeper Qian didn't hide anything.

Yu Zhou thought it was so.

Later, when paying the money, the money shopkeeper gave Yu Zhou a piece of broken silver, and then counted out 260 copper coins and handed them over, explaining: "160 coins are the money for your copying the book this time, and there are five coins left. Ten Wen is the deposit you put here before, and you don’t need to give any more deposit if you have a storybook to sell here in the future.”

"Then there is an extra fifty Wen?" Yu Zhou asked doubtfully.

Shopkeeper Qian smiled, "Our boss said he wanted to buy a storybook, and fifty cash is the money for selling the storybook to you."

Yu Zhou was a little surprised, but it wasn't too surprising. He thanked the shopkeeper again, but he didn't go to pick up the money immediately. Because I don’t have pen and ink, I used the pen and ink provided by the expensive book shop to copy the book without authorization this time, so you can deduct some more money.”

Shopkeeper Qian was startled when he heard the words, and then he couldn't help laughing, looking at Yu Zhou with a little more appreciation.

There were quite a few people who copied books for the book shop, and Yu Zhou was not the only one who took them home to copy, but this was the first time he saw someone misuse the pen and ink, and offered to ask them to deduct money.

So he shook his head and put all the copper coins in Yu Zhou's hands, "There's no need to mention this trivial matter, anyway, the book you wrote with that ink was sold to our book store in the end."

When the two were walking out, Shopkeeper Qian said again: "There is one more thing I forgot to tell Mr. Yu just now, although our book store accepts scripts, you also know that the town is only so big and our needs are limited, so You can write one book a month."

Yu Zhou nodded his head to express his understanding. Anyway, he never thought of making a fortune by writing scripts. Selling one script a month and copying some books would be enough to support him and Jin Chuan. If you want to make money, just think of other ways.

When he returned to the shop in front, Jin Chuan was waiting in the corner. Although he didn't show any anxious look on his face, when he saw Yu Zhou coming out, he still unconsciously took a few steps forward.

Yu Zhou nodded to him, indicating that everything was fine, before walking to the counter next to him.

The clerk behind the counter was the one who always received Yu Zhou. He already knew Yu Zhou's habits. Before Yu Zhou approached, he took out the wrapped things from the counter. That storybook."

Yu Zhou nodded and continued, "I need two more pieces of paper, one for Yuanshu paper and one for rough edge paper, and you can also get me a set of pen, ink and inkstone, just the kind I take back to copy books."

"Wait a moment." The clerk answered and quickly prepared all the things Yu Zhou said, and wrapped them in paper again. "It's 190 Sanwen in total. I'll erase the change and give you 190 Wen."

Seeing that he bought so many things at once, Jin Chuan guessed that the script should have been sold for some money, but he didn't ask any further questions.

When he got out of the book shop, Yu Zhou took the initiative to tell him all the things behind him just now, and after he pondered for a while, he said, "After the pouches and sachets are also sold, should we go buy more food? Invite Mrs. Chen and her family to have a meal, and thank them for their care during this time."

"That's exactly what I mean." Yu Zhou nodded with a smile. He only found out later that when Uncle Chen was plowing the fields for other people in the village, he would eat at other people's homes at noon. He didn't mention the meal with Chen Feng.

By the time Yu Zhou found out, Uncle Chen had already plowed his family's land, and it would be deliberate to apologize or thank him.

Since he came to the town together today, he made some money, so he can just buy some more things and go back to treat him to a good meal.

Talking and laughing, the two arrived at the cloth shop selling embroidery.

It was still the same as last time, as soon as they stepped through the door, the shopkeeper saw it, and quickly walked up to him and said, "I finally expected you to come, you don't know how many people have asked me these days When will the handkerchief and sachet arrive?"

"Some things at home were delayed, so I didn't come to town," Yu Zhou smiled to deal with it, but his eyes fell on Aunt Chen and Xiaojuan, who were looking at the fabrics on the other side of the shop, and greeted, "Auntie, are you shopping?"

Aunt Chen also saw Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan when she was saying hello to the shopkeeper, so she put down the fabric in her hand and walked over, "Yes, I plan to buy some fabric and go back to make a new spring shirt for Xiaojuan."

After getting closer, he lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you?"

Yu Zhou didn't hide it from her either, "I told you last time that the items of Jinchuan Embroidery were sold to this shopkeeper."

When they were talking, other customers in the shop also glanced here from time to time. Seeing this, the shopkeeper glanced back and forth between Yu Zhou and Aunt Chen, and finally said to Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan: "There are too many customers at the moment. , why don't you two go upstairs and talk with me in detail?"

Aunt Chen waved her hand to Yu Zhou when she heard the words, "Then you go, I'll go and look at the colors and fabrics."

After speaking, he took Xiaojuan and turned around to continue to pick things up, but Jin Chuan didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said: "Auntie, take Xiaojuan and go with us."

Aunt Chen hesitated for a moment, "Isn't this very good?"

"What's not so good about this, you can just help us with the details," Jin Chuan looked at the shopkeeper again after speaking, and asked with a smile, "Do you mind the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper looked at Jin Chuan thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind."

So Aunt Chen was no longer polite.

Several people went upstairs together, the shopkeeper walked in the front, Aunt Chen led Xiaojuan in the middle, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan walked in the back.

When no one was paying attention, Yu Zhou took a quick look at Jin Chuan.

Jin Chuan received his puzzled look, couldn't help smiling, and said with his mouth: I'll tell you when I go back.

After Yu Zhou understood it, he was even more puzzled, so it was really not his illusion. Just now, under his nose, Jin Chuan and Aunt Chen had formed some kind of tacit understanding without any trace, and the shopkeeper also saw it?

He couldn't help pinching the back of his neck, feeling a little embarrassed. He always thought he was careful, but this time he was the only one who didn't notice it.

Oh, if Xiaojuan is counted, there are two of them, but Yu Zhou thinks it is better to be reduced to compare with Xiaojuan.

After sitting upstairs, the shopkeeper poured tea for several people, and asked impatiently: "I haven't come here for so long, must there be a lot of handkerchiefs and sachets?"

"Not much." Jin Chuan originally brought these things to sell, so naturally he wouldn't hide them. When the shopkeeper asked, he brought them all out.

He has always been careful in doing things, and the handkerchiefs and sachets are folded according to the light and light colors, so there is no need to worry about wrinkles.

The shopkeeper looked at each piece with satisfaction, and when he turned to the last piece of handkerchief, he frowned, raised his head suddenly and said, "Only a few?"

"That's not enough? Do you know how long it takes to embroider a handkerchief?" Yu Zhou couldn't help poking his lips. He knew exactly how long it would take Jinchuan to embroider each item, and he could produce so many embroidery items. , is already the result of Jin Chuan not taking much rest during this period of time.

"That's not what I mean," said the store manager, "The main reason is that I'm afraid it won't be sold enough."

Yu Zhou picked up the tea on the table and took a sip before saying, "Since rare goods are available, there is nothing wrong with raising the price appropriately, right?"

"You think I don't have one," the shopkeeper sighed, "but you can't raise it too high. No matter how exquisite and special, they are just handkerchiefs and sachets, and the most common material is muslin."

Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan exchanged glances when they heard the words.

Seeing that they didn't answer, the shopkeeper continued: "So I invite you to come up this time to discuss whether we can embroider some patterns specified by customers. The fabric and embroidery thread are all provided by our shop. It will definitely not be less than what you earn now."

Yu Zhou frowned slightly when he heard the words. He felt that it was not good to take on this kind of assigned job, mainly because once Party B was done, if the finished product was not satisfactory to the other party, there would be too many troubles in the follow-up.

Anyway, things are easy to sell now, and I would rather earn less, but I can embroider whatever I want, which is much more free.

It's just that this is Jin Chuan's job, and it still depends on Jin Chuan's own thoughts, so he didn't interrupt.

Fortunately, Jin Chuan also thought of this, he shook his head and said: "This time I'm going to buy some brocade and other fabrics to go home and embroider some better sachets, so let's forget about this job."

The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be better to control the initiative, so he nodded and said, "That's fine."

After discussing the cooperation, it's the turn of the moment, and the shopkeeper didn't hesitate, and said directly: "I sell handkerchiefs and sachets well, and the price should naturally be raised for you. Wen, the sachet is 28 Wen, what do you think?"

This is much higher than the one hundred coins that Yu Zhou took in total last time, but he didn't agree immediately, but smiled and said: "Why don't you make up a good number, Pazi 22 Wen, thirty Wen for the sachet."

"It's nothing to worry about," the shopkeeper said helplessly, "But since you said it, I agree, at worst, I will earn less."

Having said that, his expression became serious, "But I hope that your embroidery will only be provided to my family."

After Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan exchanged glances, they both nodded.

Their cooperation with the shopkeeper is quite satisfactory, and the number of things that Jin Chuan can embroider by himself is limited, so there is no need to find another shop to cooperate with.

Seeing their response, the shopkeeper's smile became more sincere, and he quickly put the handkerchief and sachet into a tray, "You guys sit down for a while, I'll send the things down and let the guys quickly put them out for sale. I’ll show you other fabrics when I come up, they’re also available upstairs, so I won’t go down and squeeze with everyone.”

Yu Zhou nodded indifferently.

After the shopkeeper's footsteps disappeared at the stairs, Aunt Chen, who had been sitting in the corner without speaking, said in a surprised tone, "Are Jinchuan embroidery so expensive?"

"My acupuncture method is different from the common ones here, everyone just buy something rare," Jinchuan smiled, looked at Xiaojuan and asked, "Do you want to learn, Xiaojuan? If you want to learn, I will teach you."

"How good is this..." Aunt Chen hesitated for a moment, and when she heard the shopkeeper's footsteps on the stairs again, she said, "I... go back and discuss it with her grandma first."

Jin Chuan nodded, "Success, you guys have made a decision and just let me know."

Afterwards, accompanied by the store manager, Jin Chuan bought all the fabrics and embroidery threads needed, and Aunt Chen also chose a piece of fabric for Xiaojuan to make a spring shirt.

Shopkeepers gave lower prices.

Several people went downstairs full of joy, this time Aunt Chen and Xiaojuan walked in the front, Yu Zhou and Jinchuan walked in the middle, and the shopkeeper was at the end.

The stairs were a bit steep, and when Yu Zhou went down the stairs, he walked on the outside by himself, and didn't look around, only caring about his feet.

Halfway through the walk, Aunt Chen at the front suddenly stopped, and said in an annoyed and contemptuous tone: "What a pity, how could I meet her."

After speaking, he wanted to find an excuse to let Yu Zhou go upstairs and sit down for a while.

But Yu Zhou had already followed her gaze and saw the person that Aunt Chen was afraid to avoid.

It was a woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing an apricot-colored skirt, with a butterfly tassel-like skirt inserted obliquely between her temples, and the butterfly fluttering by her ear as she spoke, which made the woman's complexion more vivid. The spring flowers are a little more delicate.

Yu Zhou obviously had never seen this woman before, but for some reason, as soon as his eyes fell on the woman, he felt a twitching pain in his heart, and he barely stopped by holding on to the handrail of the stairs next to him.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that his face suddenly became very ugly, even his lips were pale, Jin Chuan quickly grabbed his arm and asked.

Yu Zhou calmed down for a while, and then the discomfort gradually faded away. He patted Jin Chuan's hand reassuringly, "It's okay, I'll just stand here and rest for a while."

Just at this moment, he felt something completely pulled away from his body.

Yu Zhou thought for a while and realized that it should be the last trace of emotion from the original body. As for the woman below, he didn't even need to think about who it was.

While waiting for Yu Zhou to rest, neither Aunt Chen nor the store manager spoke a word.

The movement here was not big at first, but it all passed away at once, so no one in the shop below noticed it, and the conversation continued.

The woman was not far from the stairs, and her voice was quite loud when she was talking to the shop assistant, and they could hear them clearly on the stairs.

They could even see the handkerchief in the woman's hand clearly, it was one of Jinchuan Embroidery.

The waiter enthusiastically introduced to the woman, "Madam Yang, this handkerchief in your hand is one of the best-selling handkerchiefs in our shop. It has been out of stock for several days. It just arrived today, and the quantity is not large. Come back, it will not be easy to buy again later.”

The woman opened the handkerchief and took a closer look at the patterns on it, and said hesitantly: "The last time Mrs. Zhang bought the handkerchief of this kind of pattern from you, isn't it only 35 yuan? Why do I need [-] yuan to buy it today?" text?"

"That's because we only started trial sales before, so it will naturally be cheaper. This is the usual rule of our shop." The shopkeeper has obviously told the shopkeeper what to say, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"But it's too expensive," the woman muttered, "I don't even need three pennies for this embroidery thread and fabric."

The smile on the guy's face faded almost invisible, "You can't count the embroidery. There are so many ladies and ladies who like this kind of handkerchiefs and sachets in the town. Who doesn't like this pattern? Otherwise, how many handkerchiefs can be made by pulling a few feet of cloth back."

"You..." The woman was a little annoyed, but she still held the veil and was reluctant to let go.

After standing for a while, Yu Zhou felt that he was not uncomfortable anymore, and he didn't want to continue to listen to the conversation between the woman and the shop assistant, so he said, "Let's go."

What he did just now not only frightened Jin Chuan, but also Aunt Chen. Hearing that he wanted to leave, she hesitated and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry." Yu Zhou smiled.

Aunt Chen looked at him for a while, and seeing that her face had indeed returned to normal, she led Xiaojuan down the stairs, but every few steps, she couldn't help but look back at Yu Zhou.

Jin Chuan even supported Yu Zhou until he got down the stairs and did not let go.

The shopkeeper habitually wanted to send them out, and he did not forget to tell them: "You'd better go to the medical hall to see what happened just now."

"Thank you for the relationship," Yu Zhou shook his head and thanked, "I know it well."

Seeing that he said he knew what he knew, the store manager didn't say anything more.

It's just that the woman who was originally concentrating on bargaining with the clerk suddenly turned her head around as if sensing something, and asked in surprise, "Yu Zhou, why are you here?"

Then he thought of something, without waiting for Yu Zhou's answer, he walked quickly in front of them, raised his eyebrows and said, "Say, did you come with me?"

Yu Zhou didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore, but he didn't want to make a scene in front of so many people, so he said, "I'm here to find something for the shopkeeper, and I came here before you."

"What can you do?" the woman muttered softly.

Although it was a contemptuous word, because of her delicate expression when she spoke, it was hard to make people feel disgusted.

"He really came to talk to me about something." This time it was the shopkeeper who spoke.

The woman blinked, seemingly in disbelief.

Seeing that she didn't speak any more, Yu Zhou said, "If the girl is fine, Yu will leave first."

"You called me a girl?" The woman seemed unbelievable, she followed up to block Yu Zhou, raised her head and asked, "Are you still blaming me? In fact, I have always wanted to apologize to you, but I just didn't find the opportunity."

She paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "And... I have no other choice."

Jin Chuan guessed who this woman was from Aunt Chen muttering on the stairs how she met her.

He didn't speak the whole time, and it was also because Yu Zhou didn't do anything that would make him feel uncomfortable except for the moment at the beginning.

It's just that the woman is talking too much now, even if it's not because of the relationship with Yu Zhou, he can't stand it.

Then he stepped forward to block Yu Zhou's front and said, "Madam Yang, you have delayed our time."

When he said this, he deliberately slowed down Mrs. Yang's three words, and pronounced them very clearly.

The woman trembled slightly, as if frightened, she looked at Yu Zhou and asked, "Who is he?"

"My fiancé." After Yu Zhou finished speaking, he stopped looking at the woman, turned to Aunt Chen and said to Jin Chuan, "Let's go."

Jin Chuan walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "Looking at Mrs. Yang's appearance, she seems to like this handkerchief quite a bit. You can tell the shopkeeper that it's my favor to wipe you a change for my sake. You are welcome." The thoughts of my fiancé."

After speaking, he didn't look at the woman's expression, and pulled Yu Zhou out of the cloth village.

It was the first time for Yu Zhou to see such a strong side of Jin Chuan. It was very different from usual, but also very cute.

I couldn't help but smiled.

Then I thought of the woman just now, and felt sorry for the original owner unconsciously in my heart, how could I fall in love with such a girl, good-looking is good-looking, but she is really not ordinary self-centered.

Jin Chuan was still worried that Yu Zhou would be displeased by his actions just now, but when he secretly looked at Yu Zhou, he saw him laughing and frowning for a while, hesitated for a while, and still couldn't help asking: "Are you Thinking about that girl?"

"Yeah," Yu Zhou shook his head and complained, "Her personality is too bad."

Jin Chuan was startled, and suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. Since we all know that person has a bad personality, why did he smile so happily just now?
