And now he came to withdraw his money so early in the morning. Either he was a fool and couldn't figure out the account, or he heard about the imitation paper and accepted money from some people, so he came here to test the situation!

"Mr. Feng, this incense paper is not something you can just take for granted. I think when we sold it in our bookstore, the guys told us that it is not something that can be returned at will."

"And you know that we sell paper in sheets, sealed one by one. No one buys them individually. I want to ask who will compensate me for the remaining 19 sheets, the 3 taels and 800 coins?"

Mr. Feng already knew that he was in the wrong, and now after hearing what Liu Yunqing said, he felt that Liu Yunqing was deliberately mocking him for being poor and having to buy paper by the sheet.

Mr. Feng couldn't stand anyone looking down on him because he was poor, so he immediately became angry and his voice rose high.

"What do you mean? You are such a big shot, little girl, showing up in public all day long! Other shops only sell incense paper for fifteen taels each, but you sell it to me for twenty taels!"

"You are lying! Why don't you just go and rob? If you don't retreat, we will go to Kaifeng Prefecture to meet! I am a scholar after all, I don't have to kneel before the officials, but Madam Liu will suffer for these three taels and eight hundred coins!"

I have seen shameless people, I have never seen such shameless people!

Liu Yunqing was almost laughing out of anger.

It turns out that he wasn't playing the victim a while ago, not wanting to spend ten or twenty cents to borrow a book to copy, and kept saying how hard it was for his mother to wash clothes for others to support his studies, so he asked them to give him a cheaper price!

If a person like this still studies and becomes an official, he is dreaming!

You will never be able to eat three dishes and one soup in your life!

Without looking at him, Liu Yunqing turned his head to look at Li Langjun beside him.

"Is it the same for Mr. Li?"

Li Langjun didn't want to make things too awkward with Liu Yunqing. After all, he wanted to come to the book bar to study in the future. Where could he find a place with free tables and chairs and free hot tea?

But Mr. Feng has come to this point, and he has come along with them, so now he has no choice but to go all the way.

Mr. Li just nodded and spoke softer.

"Madam Liu, it's not that we are unreasonable, but your incense paper is really too expensive. This morning, someone was selling it for 15 taels per piece, exactly the same as yours. We are not well off to begin with, so isn't this... putting us in a difficult position?"

"Okay, Mr. Li, Mr. Feng, I, Liu Yunqing, will not embarrass you. I can return the money to you."

When they heard about returning the money, they showed joy on their faces, but then they heard Liu Yunqing say.

"But I have to be honest when doing business. You are not asking for a refund because of any quality issues with my incense paper. Mr. Feng is making such a fuss that people who don't know would think I'm running a shady shop. So I hope you two can help me be witnesses."

Feng Langjun asked hurriedly: "What should we do?"

"Of course..." Liu Yunqing smiled, and suddenly walked out of the door, clapping his hands and shouting to the people around who were watching the fun.

"Please everyone bear witness for Qingxi Bookstore and Mr. Feng and Mr. Li!"

"The other day, when my Qingxi Bookstore started its incense and paper business, unlike other products, we naturally did not accept returns after payment. But now, the two gentlemen are unwilling to suffer a loss because other shops offer cheaper incense and paper, so they each return 19 pieces of incense and paper, and they should receive three taels and eight hundred coins each."

"This is my Liu Yunqing's kindness and righteousness. I don't want you two gentlemen to suffer losses. In business, kindness and righteousness are not the key. It's not that my incense and paper are bad. Please bear witness for my bookshop!"

Liu Yunqing was a quick-witted person and had almost finished her words before Feng Langjun and the other two could react.

But the two gentlemen were so embarrassed that their faces looked like monkey butts, but Mr. Feng still wanted to argue.

Liu Yunqing turned around and asked him, "My dear, are you not going to retreat now?"

After hearing this, Mr. Feng had no choice but to shut up.

Liu Yunqing snorted in his heart, wanting both face and money, how could such a good thing happen in this world.

Besides, she couldn't sell these ten or so pieces of paper, which meant she lost money and face. How could she bear this loss!

Not to mention that Mr. Feng and Mr. Li were here, even if Zhang Yanei was here, she would not do this business!

After saying that, Liu Yunqing directly asked Xiaoman to fetch the silver. After she checked the secret marks on each note one by one and confirmed that they were produced by Qingxi Bookstore, she gave the silver to them in front of everyone.

This was not enough, Liu Yunqing took out a red pen and wrote on the papers one by one in front of everyone.

"The inkstone and paper are like a second life to a reader. Qingxi Bookstore has been in business for many years. In addition to excellent quality, what we care most about is the user experience of our guests."

"So we will never repackage returned items and sell them to others. I have scratched off these incense papers, and the silver is lost, so long as the guests are satisfied, I will be content."

"I am not the only one in the incense paper business. It is human nature for you to pick and compare. If you feel that you have lost out by buying incense paper on impulse, I am willing to make an exception and refund you now."

"But I still say the same thing, you get what you pay for. I, Liu Yunqing, value integrity the most and will never cheat you. If you still think my products are better after using other ones, I, Liu Yunqing, still welcome you to come!"

After saying that, people around him started applauding.

"Don't worry, Madam Liu. We are all watching over you. Even if the incident really reaches Kaifeng Prefecture, Mr. Feng won't stand a good chance!"

Anyone who is reasonable knows that this is how business is done. No one is forcing you to buy or sell. But now you are forced to withdraw just because the other seller's price is lower. Even if you don't return the money, no one will say anything.

Not to mention the ink, paper and inkstone, even if you buy needles and thread at the market, you cannot just return them, let alone such expensive things.

Looking at Mr. Feng and Mr. Li again, they were nowhere to be seen. They took the silver and ran away quickly.

I’m afraid I won’t have the face to come to the bookstore to take advantage in the future.

Liu Yunqing didn't care and was happy to have nothing to worry about. She immediately asked Xiaoman to bring her a table. She sat in front of the door. Above the table was a small sign hung on a small bamboo pole with a few big words written on it.

"Seven days no-questions-asked return and refund!"

Yunxi was accompanying him, with the cash box placed in front of him. He refunded the money on the spot so that everyone could see clearly!

There weren't many people who came to withdraw afterwards, just a few here and there. However, most of them were colleagues, and some of them didn't even pretend to be in business anymore.

"Madam Liu is really kind and righteous. You make money easily and return it easily. But this incense paper business is not yours alone. There is another one in the south of the city."

"They set up stalls on the road and sell them in every street and alley. The grand scene in front of your bookstore yesterday has now changed to other shops!"

Liu Yunqing couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He thought Cui Niang was quite efficient and today must be a big harvest. He was afraid that the two hundred dollars of imitation paper would not be enough to sell.

"Manager Fang, please don't worry about this. Just keep these eighteen and two hundred coins. What's the point of just watching others make money? You used nine pieces of incense paper from my bookshop. I wonder what you figured out?"
