Chapter 421: Books are selling well
When they arrived in the capital, someone actually came to pick them up.
Kim Nam-joo sent three carriages, but the drivers were dumbfounded when they saw so many people. Su He rented four more carriages on the roadside and finally arranged for all the people and their luggage.
The journey to Su's house still took more than half an hour, and Su He introduced everyone along the way.
"I also have a shop in the capital, and I need a place to live in the backyard. Seven or eight people can live there, one for men and one for women, and we can just squeeze in. But after I bought the house, I rented it out."
"This is... the academy is located along this road. I'll take you there after you've rested for a couple of days."
Originally Su He had taken a half-year leave, but now that he was back, he decided to go to class and see how Mu Tou and the others were preparing.
When everyone was drowsy, they arrived at Su's house.
"I'm coming."
"Uncle Six, Yanzhi! Jin Nanzhu"
Su He smiled and waved to everyone. Her door was already open and Little Red Horse had returned from the Embroidery Shop.
"Lotus, the kangs in all the rooms have been heated up. The temperature is just right now. There are two pots boiling water. You must be tired. Hurry up and take a shower and go to bed."
Yanzhi calculated the time and knew that Hehua and the others would be here soon, so she stayed at Su's house to clean up the house for the past two days.
"Lotus, I also have hot water at home. There are a lot of you. Would you like to have half of you come to my house to take a bath?"
Kim Nam-joo was very enthusiastic. She liked their lively and warm big family, so she couldn't help but want to get closer.
Su He looked at her somewhat reserved family members and politely declined.
"Nanzhu, let's take a shower in our own room. There are too many children. Let them get together and take a shower and go to bed quickly."
"Okay, I'll bring you some hot water."
Kim Nam-joo smiled, exchanged a few simple words and left.
I asked after Wen Niang and others left.
"Is this girl the Princess Dali you mentioned? She looks no different from the people of Dayong."
"Yes, she has been married to Dayong for two years, and her clothes and appearance are becoming more and more like us. It's normal."
After Su He finished speaking, he urged everyone to wash up quickly, one room for men and one room for women.
After washing, everyone went to sleep.
After two days of this, everyone started to travel around the capital.
The guides were Miaomiao Tiantian and Liu Niang Liu Bai. Su He was busy in the academy.
Master Shen was so excited to see Su He come back, and Chief Qi Shan also breathed a sigh of relief. He had already regretted agreeing to give Su He a half-year vacation. Master Shen looked for him every day, asking him to ask Master Su to come back, but Master Su was far away in Guangyuan, so how could he do anything?
But how could Master Shen accept this explanation? He was about to call him dad again.
In just three months, Qi Shan lost a lot of his hair.
"Hehua, you're back. Mr. Shen's father came again yesterday. I couldn't stand it anymore. Are you going to start the class?"
Su He nodded, "Yes, I will go to class anytime."
When Principal Qi saw this, he quickly arranged the classes and filled up Su He's day in just a quarter of an hour.
Seeing that Dean Qi still wanted to schedule for the next day, Su He reluctantly reminded him, "Dean, I have to go to Bailu Academy tomorrow."
"I will go and explain it to her in person. You can go back when the test starts."
Su He thought about it and said, "Okay, where is the first period? I'm going to class first."
"They are from Mu Tou's class. Go ahead. I'll send you the class schedule for the week later."
Su He glanced at the class schedule. It was full. It was so scary. He decided to leave quickly.
In a flash, another month has passed. Wen Niang and her friends have already gone through all the shopping they needed to do. Now they are all at home cutting clothes and discussing how to prepare New Year's goods.
As for Miaomiao, she finally had time to go to the bookstore with Tiantian.
"Oh, Miss Su, Miss Wang, you are finally here. I went to your house several times but never saw you."
When Manager Liu saw Miaomiao and the other person, he was very excited and immediately came out to greet them.
Miaomiao smiled and wondered if her book was a big hit.
"We have relatives coming to our house, and I have been playing with them for a while, so I don't have time to come. Shopkeeper Liu, how are my books selling?"
"Oh, that's exactly what happened. There was no news about this book in the past two months. I don't know what happened this month, but all 100 sets were sold out at once. I waited for you for a long time, so I could only make up 50 sets first. Today there are only 2 sets left. Another 50 sets will arrive tomorrow."
Miaomiao laughed out loud. She finally surpassed her sister in something.
"Restock more, big stock, let's start with 100 sets. By the way, how much do you sell it for?"
"Your book is divided into two volumes, the two volumes form a set. I used to sell it for one tael of silver, but now I sell it for one tael and two cents. Hehe."
As Manager Liu spoke, he took out a set of "The Legend of Lotus" and showed it to Miaomiao.
Miaomiao frowned and thought for a while, feeling that this was not a good idea.
"Manager Liu, since you are going to raise the price, you should change the packaging. You can no longer use yellow paper to wrap the books. You can prepare a wooden box to store the books, so that people can find the source even if the price increases. In addition, you should continue to sell the original ordinary packaging so that readers can choose for themselves. We have just started, and we cannot afford to raise prices randomly."
Shopkeeper Liu agreed immediately. "Okay, I'll do as you say. I still remember the ones I sold at a higher price before. I'll give them another box when the time comes."
"Okay, let's settle the bill next month."
When Miaomiao saw that the shopkeeper was so easy to talk to, she happily went to pick out the script.
She has enough money now, so she doesn't even need to look at the price when buying books.
Later I will go to the teahouse to listen to opera, and then go to the candy shop to buy candy figures for the kids at home.
Tiantian didn’t think it was as simple as Miaomiao thought. She felt that since Manager Liu was so easy to talk to, he must have been guided by someone.
Tiantian thought it was Aunt Hehua who greeted her.
In fact, Chen Shi bought the first set of books a month ago, and mentioned that the author of the book was his sister. When Manager Liu heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. He did not dare to ask why the sister of the embroidered clothes official came out to write a book. He just thought it was a gift from the ancestors.
The first people who bought the books were those who knew Su He.
The people at the Embroidered Clothing Office were curious about how a woman like Su Hehua could make Chen Shi look at her differently. The teachers and students from the two academies were even more curious about how the arithmetic genius Su Hehua grew up.
Even Kim Nam-joo heard the news and bought a set to take home.
It was not until before the Chinese New Year that Su He had a chance to take a breath. Miaomiao saw her sister at home and happily went up to her to share the good news.
"Sister, the book I wrote is a big hit."
"what book?"
Su He completely forgot about it. She lay in the yard with her eyes closed, enjoying the rare tranquility.
"Have you forgotten my masterpiece? It's my book 'The Legend of Lotus'."
Su He was stunned for two seconds, then he remembered that it seemed like someone said it was sold in a bookstore a few months ago.
"Oh, I remembered. How many copies have you sold?"
Miao Miao was very dissatisfied when she heard this, "How many copies? The bookstore has already sold 1,200 copies, two copies per set."
"How many?"
Su He sat up suddenly. Who would buy it? Are there so many fools?
"My book is divided into two volumes, both of which are sold together. If you count them by volume, there are 2,400 copies. Sister, are you looking down on me?"
Su He noticed that Miaomiao was looking at her sideways and immediately gave in.
"No, no, I've been overusing my brain lately, so I'm slow to react. I'm proud of you."
"Just wait, this is not the end. My book will definitely sell like hot cakes. I won't have to teach at the academy anymore. I can rely on this book for my retirement."
Su He curled her lips in silence. Her sister was confident. She had written six or seven books but still didn't dare to talk about retirement.
"In that case, when Wen Niang and the others return next year, ask them to take a copy back with them and sell it in a bookstore. This way you can earn some extra money for your retirement."
Su He kindly gave her sister some advice.
"Hahahaha, my books will be sold all over Dayong."
Miaomiao put her hands on her hips and laughed.
"Aunt, what are you laughing at?"
Miaomiao turned around and saw Baoer holding Little Guozi, Little Rainbow and Little Moon looking at her.
Behind her were Jiaojiao, He Gong and the three eggs. Dashan and Xiao Niba stared at her curiously. Not far away, Juhua, Wen Niang and others were also looking at her.
Miaomiao coughed awkwardly and changed the subject.
"Auntie is thinking of buying some delicious candy again. Do you want to eat some?"
"miss you!"
Miaomiao raised her right hand high, held Jiaojiao's hand with her left hand, and walked away with a bunch of radishes.
"Let's go, follow the little rich lady Sister Miaomiao!"
