"Yes, I have finished reading these books in my hand. Where are you going?" Lin Wenxuan asked with concern.

Ye Qing did not hide it, "Yesterday the manager wanted to order this book together, but he asked us to deliver it. We don't have a ship to deliver it, so I plan to ask Master Jiang if he has any connections."

Lin Wenxuan frowned and asked, "Where should I send it to?"

"It takes two days to get there by boat from Songjiang Prefecture."

Lin Wenxuan led Ye Qing to stand under the shade of a tree and said, "I have a classmate whose family is in the shipping business. He should be able to help deliver it."

Ye Qing was overjoyed, "Where is your classmate? When can you give me the news? The caravan will leave tomorrow."

Lin Wenxuan thought of his classmates in the provincial capital and was a little undecided.

Suddenly I remembered that he wrote to me last time and said that he had a shop in Wuan City and I could go over and ask.

"I'll go ask first if there are any of his family members in the city."

Ye Qing wanted to accompany him to Wu'an City, but Lin Wenxuan refused. Although he really wanted to stay with her for a while, the sun was too strong and he would be sweating after sitting in the ox cart for a while.

Lin Wenxuan did not exchange the book. He gave the book in his hand to Ye Qing and turned around to go home to drive the ox cart.

Ye Qing looked at Lin Wenxuan's back and thought that they should buy a carriage. He always thought that they were a farming family and raising horses was expensive.

Now that I think about it, a carriage can protect me from wind and rain, so I still want to buy one.

Now that the matter had been resolved, Ye Qing no longer looked for Master Jiang and turned to go to the dock.

There were too many orders yesterday, so we need to communicate with the bookstore and ask them to open two more printing lines.

When they arrived at the bookstore, Ye Qing did not see Ye Xin, so he waved to Luo Feng to come over.

"Where is your shopkeeper, Luo Feng?"

"Boss, our boss has gone to discuss business with the owner next door." Luo Feng answered respectfully.

Ye Qing remembered that there was a tailor shop next door opened by an outsider, and the business was quite good. The bookstore wanted to discuss some business with them.

Luo Feng saw Ye Qing's confusion and said, "The boss Wu is no longer in business. His elders are in poor health, so he is asked to go back. Our boss wants to rent the shop next door and use it exclusively for selling books and doing business."

Ye Qing understood. The bookstore she opened felt a bit like a library, and the quiet environment was indeed not suitable for doing business.

And as the number of books increases, their bookstore can no longer accommodate them.

Ye Qing asked Luo Feng to go first. This was the guy promoted by Ye Xin, and he needed to follow him to familiarize himself with the work in the store.

Ye Qing went out and went to the next door. All the things in there were moved out, leaving only a few sacks of rags.

Ye Xin and the shop owner were looking at the house, discussing what could be changed and what could not be changed.

Ye Xin saw Ye Qing come in and pointed to the house to introduce it to her.

This shop is bigger than her bookstore. There is a yard at the back and rooms in the yard, which is very suitable as a studio.

Ye Qing said nothing and asked Ye Xin to talk to the owner. Seeing Ye Qing, Ye Xin felt more confident and continued to negotiate the price with the owner.

Ye Qing had nothing to do, so he went to look at the scraps of cloth in the corner. The cloth inside could not be used to make anything, as they were only palm-sized pieces.

I looked at the scraps of cloth from several bags; they were all different colors and materials.

The bigger ones should have been sold, and these are the only ones left that no one wants.

Ye Qing heard that they had agreed on the rent, which would be three taels of silver a month, and that they could remodel the store as they pleased as long as they didn't move the walls.

Ye Qing quickly asked, "Will you also give us those bags of fabric over there?"

The shop owner also looked at the fabrics and found them to be of no use.

The people living nearby were all well-off, and no one needed to mend clothes.

The owner generously gave it to Ye Qing. Ye Qing went to the bookstore and asked the clerk to move it. She took it back, washed it, and used it as a cushion and a pillow.

Sanbao is getting bigger and bigger now. He looks a lot like Zheng Qin, white and chubby like a glutinous rice dumpling.

Ye Qing would hold him in his arms and coax him for a while every day, and these days he was busy making a doll for him.

Take these cloths back and make enough dolls for several children each.

Sanbao is still young, and there are many people in the family who can help take care of the child. Ye Erlang and Zheng Qin did not return to Wu'an City, and will go back to live with Sanbao when he grows up.

There's nothing going on at the bookstore. Xiaoyan has already brought people to deliver the large orders, and this is the only order that has not been delivered yet.

Ye Qing took a look at the store's account book. Although Wei Hong would report to her every day, she was not as deeply touched as she had been by seeing it in person.

Looking at the profit of the last line, Ye Qing felt very happy. It has been less than a month and the investment has been recovered. He will not distribute the money this month, but next month.

The money in the account this month still needs to be used to pay the bookstore. No one is in a hurry to use the money, so no one cares if it is distributed a month later.

Ye Qing looked at the busy guys in the store. These people didn't have time to rest this month, and their dark circles were obvious.

Ye Qing doesn't like chicken soup for the soul, so he just gives money directly. This month, everyone in the bookstore will receive double their monthly salary.

Everyone who had been listless just now became excited when they heard about the doubled monthly silver.

They now feel full of energy and are willing to work all night.

Ye Qing went out to Linglong Pavilion. She was in the bookstore and felt that everyone was restrained.

Linglong Pavilion was also a busy scene, with the shop assistants running around bustling around. Ye Qing did not disturb them and went to his own lounge.

She was waiting for Lin Wenxuan at the dock. This matter had to be settled today so that the bookstore could be prepared.

When I saw Xiaoyan just now, the caravan's thousand books were already ready and could be shipped at any time.

Ye Qing calculated the time and found that Lin Wenxuan had been gone for three hours and should be back soon.

She was waiting for a while. It would be a pity to lose the business of a thousand books.

Ye Qing didn't have to wait long before Lin Wenxuan came to the dock with a man who looked like a manager.

Ye Xin sent someone to invite Ye Qing, as she needed to make the decision on this matter.

When Ye Qing entered the bookstore, he saw Ye Xin talking to a lean and capable middle-aged man.

"Boss, this is Sun, the owner of Sun's water transport. He has a boat to help us deliver the goods."

"Shopkeeper Sun, this is our boss Ye." Ye Xin introduced the two sides.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, we are in the water transportation business. Please take care of our business in the future." Shopkeeper Sun greeted him first.

"Manager Sun, you are too polite. We are just a small business, and our business is not as big as yours. We should ask Manager Sun to take care of us." Ye Qing was speaking from the heart. His family had several boats, so his business was not small.

"Our young master and Young Master Lin are classmates and they have a good relationship. When we first opened the store, the young master had already greeted us. We will help Young Master Lin with anything we can." Shopkeeper Sun first pointed out the relationship between the two families.

Ye Qing also got straight to the point and talked about business, "We need to deliver a thousand books to Songjiang Prefecture."

Manager Sun had heard about it before he came, and asked for one hundred taels of silver for shipping, but this price was not enough to help with loading and unloading the goods.

Ye Qing agreed, this was indeed a realistic price. She asked several people at the dock, and they all offered higher prices than this.

After getting the freight price, Ye Xin went to negotiate with the caravan. The bookstore would not pay for the freight, so the caravan would pay for it all.
