The Royal’s Little Lady Chapter 169: The lucky lady actually looks like this
So, Lu Cheng of this printing house is not just targeting himself?
Chu Yingying immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, got off the donkey immediately, and asked the uncle who just spoke: "Uncle, what kind of books does your bookstore plan to publish?"
"They are all travel notes and the like, because there are too many bookstores selling the Four Books and Five Classics, so I plan to sell some different ones, so as not to compete with so many people."
"Then do you know which bookstores the printing house prints for?"
"I know, there's a store in front of me."
Chu Yingying nodded: "Thank you, uncle, I'll go take a look."
The uncle is also smart. Seeing Chu Yingying like this, he roughly guessed her identity, but he pretended not to know, and instead said in a playful way: "You little girl, don't be bullied. Uncle will accompany you." Take a look."
Chu Yingying did not refuse.
She kept the donkey in the shop, and after giving the money, she and her uncle went to the bookstore in front to take a look.
While walking and talking, Chu Yingying learned that her uncle’s surname was Wang and he owned a Sifang Bookstore.
Before arriving at the bookstore, I heard someone quarreling inside.
"What's going on with you? I heard that the cost of printing a book with this movable type printing method is only about 20 yuan. You can make a lot of money by selling it for 50 yuan. How can you sell it for 80 yuan? Where is Wen?"
It is the voice of young students who are angry and proud.
Chu Yingying and her uncle looked at each other and blended into the crowd of spectators.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the voice of the bookstore owner.
"Before, a book sold for 100 renminbi, but now it's 80 renminbi. Aren't you satisfied that it's 20 renminbi cheaper? Besides, who told you that the cost is 20 renminbi!"
"I am satisfied? This lucky lady invented movable type printing to benefit students all over the world. Is it enough for you to earn a little? You quadrupled the price of 20 yuan and sold it! Are you feeling guilty?"
"Gungun, who told you that the capital is twenty cents? Who are you going to ask for! Don't disturb my business!"
The student looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was so thin that he couldn't withstand the boss's pushing! I accidentally fell there!
"Get out!"
The boss actually stepped on the opponent's hand, as if he was chasing away a bed bug!
"That's too much!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
After one person shouted, many people agreed.
"That's right, how can you bully people like this?"
After the student stood up, he asked with a livid face: "You are doing this, can you imagine what the consequences will be if Madam Fortune finds out?"
"This price is originally the price set by Lady Fortune, why can't it be done? If you want to buy it or not, get out of here, you pauper."
The boss has a big belly, full of fat and is very greasy.
The scholar was about to say something when he heard a clear and lively voice interrupt.
"This is the price I set, why didn't I know?"
Chu Yingying squeezed out of the crowd with a dark face and squinted her eyes at the astonished boss in front of her. She recognized him.
"Boss Lu, when did I set such a price? This kind of thing is set by the court. What does Boss Lu mean by saying this?"
"Miss Luck! This is Mrs. Luck!"
Someone in the crowd shouted excitedly.
The scholar looked at Chu Yingying in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that the lady of fortune who was rumored to be so miraculous was actually such a thin little girl.
Although Chu Yingying has some fat on her face, she has always controlled her diet and exercised, so her figure is very slender. I just don’t know why, even though I’m fourteen, I haven’t had my period or grown taller.
So he still looks childish, especially his slightly fleshy little face, which looks like baby fat.
"What?" Chu Yingying raised her eyebrows at the scholar, as if she could see through his mind, and asked, "Do you think I shouldn't look like this?"
She has seen many like this during this time.
I came to see her eagerly, but I was a little disappointed after seeing her. I felt that Mrs. Fortune should not look like this.
In this regard, Chu Yingying was also helpless, but had no other choice.
The scholar nodded: "Yes, how come Lady Fortune looks like a child?"
"What if?"
"Of course he is the same as an immortal."
Chu Yingying:......
She is a beautiful little fairy.
"Have you ever seen an immortal?" Chu Yingying thought this scholar was silly and quite amusing.
The scholar shook his head.
Chu Yingying continued: "Then it's over. Of course I have never seen an immortal, so why can't an immortal grow up like me?"
Everyone:...
Uh-huh, are you bragging that you look like an immortal?
The scholar was also a little surprised. He did not expect that Madam Fortune not only looked like a child, but her personality was also very different from what he imagined.
"Miss Chu Er, if you want to chat, please don't disturb my business."
Boss Lu, who had been ignored all this time, spoke, his expression did not change much, but he was actually a little uneasy in his heart.
During this period, he wished that the entire Yueyang City Mansion came here to buy books. Naturally, he made a huge profit!
In fact, I can earn more this way than before! Although it was expensive to sell before ~IndoMTL.com~, the purchase price was also expensive, but in fact there was not much profit at all!
Because of this, Boss Lu became a little confused. Not only did he make money, but those people also supported him in order to buy books from him... As time went by, he naturally became disillusioned.
In the past, how could we dare to make such a big fuss?
He also knew Chu Yingying's temperament, and was worried that this matter would not go well. But when I think about who the person behind me is, and Chu Yingying is just an ordinary citizen, I feel much more at ease.
Chu Yingying didn't think about what he was thinking at all, she just asked him: "Did you set this price yourself, or did someone else set it for you?"
"This has nothing to do with Miss Chu, right? Miss Chu, do you think you are superior to others after being called Lady of Fortune a few times?"
The other party's tone was so aggressive and his words were so sharp, it made people very uncomfortable.
Someone nearby shouted: "You fat pig, talk to Lady Luck like this, be careful of retribution!"
"That's it, an unscrupulous shopkeeper!"
Boss Lu said with a dark face, "Closed today!"
Anyway, people are begging to buy books, and he doesn’t care at all!
Then Boss Lu closed the door very forcefully.
If people don’t answer, Chu Yingying really has nothing to do, but——
Chu Yingying squinted her eyes, looked at the bookstore in front of her, and smiled softly: "Whether you are a person or a businessman, integrity comes first. Honesty comes first. If you do business like this, aren't you afraid that the business will fail? ”
After she finished speaking, she didn’t care, and directly bowed her hands to the onlookers: “Don’t worry, everyone, the invention of movable type printing was done by the imperial court to care for the scholars in the world, not to make profits for businessmen! So in this matter, the imperial court I won’t ignore it!”
"Okay!"
