The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 68

[Chapter 68 sold out]

the south of the city, Gujing Street is now bustling with activity.

Countless people came here because of its reputation, and many of them were drunkards who had saved their money for half a month, hoping to enter Chunfeng Tower and taste the feeling of getting drunk before resting.

Most people gathered at the entrance of Zhuxuanzhai and lined up to grab Zhuxuanzhai’s new book “The Legend of the Condor Heroes”.

A rough man with a beard on his face complained while queuing: “Can Zhuxuanzhai slow down and release new books? Last time, I waited in line for two or three days to buy the “The Romance of the West Chamber”.

” A few days ago, another book “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” was released. I really don’t know what is so good about it that my mother-in-law is so worried about!”

Most of the people queuing around were adult men. When they heard this, they all looked at each other with empathy, and then, As if thinking of something, they sighed in unison.

After waiting in line for who knows how long, the rugged man finally arrived at the door of Zhuxuanzhai.

A young man in Tsing Yi stood behind the table. He was so busy that he didn’t even raise his head and asked, “‘The Romance of the West Chamber’ or ‘Nie Xiaoqian’?” When

the rough man heard this voice, there were crystal tears in his eyes.

It’s finally my turn!

“I want a copy of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes.””

The rugged man controlled his emotions and said tremblingly.

After hearing this, the boy in green clothes immediately said: “One hundred coins.”

One hundred coins?

Aren’t the first two books both fifty words long?

The rough man’s face couldn’t help but twitch, but he still took out a hundred copper coins from his arms and placed it on the table.

The boy in green clothes put away the money, took out a book from under the table, handed it to the rough man, and shouted loudly: “Next one!”

The rough man knew that there were countless people lining up behind him, so he hurriedly stuffed the book into his arms, Then he turned around and left Zhuxuanzhai.

Walking out of Gujing Street, the rugged man took out the book he bought after all the hard work and looked at it carefully.

On the ordinary cover, there are five big characters written in a flying phoenix – The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Turning to the first page, there was the word “金” on it. He didn’t recognize it. He thought it was the author’s name.

“I really don’t know what’s so good about this shabby book. There are so many people queuing up to buy it and read it.”

The rugged man complained rather depressedly, and suddenly felt the urge to open it and read it.

On the way home, I accidentally opened the content at the back and started reading.

grassland?

Just when he saw the first page, the scene described above deeply attracted the eyes of the rugged man.

Which man has never imagined galloping on the grassland, holding a magic bow, and bending down to shoot the giant eagle.

Watching, watching, the rugged man was fascinated.

Unknowingly, I finished reading the first chapter.

He looked up and saw that he had reached the door of his house at some unknown time.

But it’s still not finished.

The rugged man was entangled in his heart.

At this time, a strong-looking woman walked out of the house, saw the rough man, and asked, “Have you bought the book?”

The rough man didn’t know what he was thinking, and was startled by the voice, and hid the book as fast as he could. Behind her, the woman shook her head mysteriously and said, “No, no.”

The woman looked at the rugged man with a strange light in her eyes, as if she had seen through something, and asked, “Really?”

The rugged man’s face was filled with pain. Turning red, he gritted his teeth and said: “There are too many people going to Zhuxuanzhai to buy books. I didn’t squeeze in. Tomorrow, I will definitely buy you the “Legend of the Condor Heroes”.” When

the woman heard this, His face suddenly

changed.

He stretched out his hand, pointed behind the big man, and said coldly: “I didn’t buy it. What is that!?”

Open your mouth.

Seeing him like this, the woman knew that she had guessed right, and her tears instantly fell down. She took the rough man’s arm and cried to the sky: “You heartless man, what a good thing you said when you chased me, you will spend your whole life.” If you want to be good to others, buy them everything, even pick the stars from the sky.

It’s better now. I have a book tucked away. Do you still have me as your wife in your heart? Do you still love me?”

In Zhuxuan Zhai, Lu Si looked at the account book in his hand, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

However, in just half a month, all the originally printed copies of “The West Chamber” had been sold.

Calculated based on the profit of 30 taels of silver per copy, 10,000 copies are a net profit of 300 taels of silver.

Although it’s definitely not the same as getting drunk, it’s still far from it.

But judging from the current trend, in the future, the sales volume of “The Romance of the West Chamber” in the entire Dachu will reach 10,000 copies a day.

Calculating it this way, it would be much more powerful just to get drunk.

The most important thing is that Zhuxuanzhai not only has a copy of “The Romance of the West Chamber”, but also a new copy of “Nie Xiaoqian” sent by the young master a few days ago, which is also a big seller.

In less than three days, the original print run of one thousand copies was sold out.

Every day, countless people gather outside the door, queuing up to buy “Nie Xiaoqian”.

Only then did Lu Si truly understand the young master’s painstaking efforts.

In the future, Zhuxuanzhai will earn much more money than Chunfeng Tower.

Being the shopkeeper of Zhuxuanzhai naturally has a much brighter future than being the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Tower.

There are many managers in the Fang Mansion, and there are also many smart and capable people. However, such an important task falls on me. It is really the young master who loves me so much!

I remembered my reluctant attitude when I first arrived at Zhuxuanzhai.

Lu Si’s face couldn’t help but blush.

Ashamed

, my eyes turned red again.

This was touching, touching the young master’s trust in himself.

Today, Zhuxuanzhai has only been established for less than a month, and it has already surpassed Wanjuan Tower and become the number one bookstore in the capital.

In addition to these happy things, there is another thing that deeply troubles Lu Si.

That’s the problem of supply exceeding demand.

The brand of Zhuxuanzhai has been put out, and in the future more and more people will come here to buy books from Zhuxuanzhai.

It can be said that the speed at which Zhuxuanzhai publishes books is far from being able to supply readers in the capital.

Don’t look at the queue outside the door now. It’s long enough. It often disperses before noon, cursing and yelling.

The reason is simple, the book is sold out.

In the past, major bookstores have never experienced such out-of-stock situations.

Therefore, for Zhuxuanzhai, it is urgent to purchase real estate and a house to increase production.

Lu Si couldn’t help but get excited when he thought of this, and waved his hand behind him.

The previous clerk surnamed Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and asked: “Shopkeeper, what are your orders?”

Lu Si said: “Prepare the carriage, I want to go back to the house.”

The shopkeeper was the steward of Fang Mansion, so of course he meant going back to the house. Refers to Fang Mansion.

The guy surnamed Zhang immediately understood and said hurriedly: “Young man, go get ready now.”

Lu Si nodded, got up and walked out of the door.

Stopping and looking at the long queue of people, I felt even more anxious.
