222. Prohibition

"Sister! It hurts!"

In the early morning, Si Niang sat on the kang and tied her hair for Qi Niang. She used a cloth towel to tie her hair to the top of her head, and then tied it into a small tug. She started to take it a little heavier, and Qi Niang's girl tilted her neck and screamed.

"Don't move." Si Niang knocked on her head, then continued to get her hair.

In the alley where they live now, most of them live in wealthy families. On weekdays, Si Niang also saw the girls from neighbors coming out to play. They were all dressed neatly and pretty, not to mention various colors and styles of clothes, but there were several hairstyles alone.

Si Niang doesn’t know how to wear any good hairstyles, but she thinks her sisters should follow the local customs. Even if she doesn’t know how to dress up, she should at least clean and neatly clean the image so as not to be laughed at by the little ladies in the city.

"Sister, it's time to have breakfast." At this time, Goro came over and called them.

"Come on." Si Niang finally walked outside the bun again, wrapped it in a cloth towel twice, tied a knot, looked at it, and was quite satisfied, then said to Qi Niang: "Okay, go for dinner."

When the girl Qi Niang heard this, she got off the kang and went to the hall. She was hungry and was not happy to let Si Niang tug her head. If it weren't for the tyranny of Si Niang on her usual days, she wouldn't be able to sit there and toss her for so long.

"Why did you combed your head again?" Azhi couldn't help but smile when she saw the two sisters, one of them came out of the house with a bun on her head.

"Brother said it's better to wear a hat when combed this hair." Si Niang grinned.

"You don't go out all day, and you don't wear hats." Goro was already sitting on the hot kang in the hall, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand and was blowing. Hearing Si Niang's words, he immediately broke the straits for her.

"Sister asked us to go to Guangdefang tonight, have you forgotten?" Si Niang also sat down to have a meal.

Seeing that the New Year was coming, Aunt Luo was thinking about buying another set of new clothes for the young people in her family. She was too busy and had no time to do it for them, so she had to spend some more money and buy it at the garment store.

Goro originally wanted to say that you also have this hairstyle when you don’t go out on weekdays, but I’d better forget it. I’m afraid that Si Niang will hold grudges, so I will not be happy to find him later.

"Has the papers of this ten-day been engraved?" Azhi asked him and said.

"It's almost done." Si Niang replied, "It will be finished today."

"Do you want me to help?" Azhi asked again.

"There are still people who bought the first few days of the test papers. They said that they would add fifty copies of each test paper." Goro said.

"When I finish the work in this yard, I will help you print the papers." Azhi smiled.

"I'm sorry for Azhi." Si Niang was quite happy. Azhi was very meticulous in her work. Every piece of the paper she printed was clean and clear. With her help, Si Niang and Wuro could save a lot of time and energy.

"You're so kind." Azhi smiled.

In fact, Azhi likes to deal with carved ink. Although she doesn't know the words on it very well, after dealing with these things, she feels like the fragrance of ink is dyed with her body.

After breakfast, Si Niang and Wulang helped Azhi clean up the dishes, and Liu Lang and Qi Niang also ran with each other. After a few trips, they went to the yard to find five pairs to play.

Luo Yong's customized donkey cart has not yet recovered in the past two days. He and Qiao Junlin are still flying to the school, and the five pairs are still staying in this yard. Chang'an City is not as good as Xipo Village, and Azhi and the others dare not let it go outside for a walk, so the donkey has been very boring these two days.

In the Taixue School, because the year is approaching, the students are not very calm in the past few days, and often gather in groups to have fun outside.

On this day, Luo Yong heard a few students in Class B discussing the Qingfeng Tower there. Qingfeng Tower is an elegant place for drinking and writing poetry. When literati go to such places, they will inevitably find a few official prostitutes who can play the piano and sing music.

During lunch, Luo Yong asked Qiao Junlin: "I heard how many students in your class say they are going to Qingfeng Tower tonight?"

"Everything is gone." Qiao Junlin said.

"Oh." Luo nodded. It was not a good thing for the whole class to go to Qingfeng Tower together, but this is the current trend. Most of the gentlemen turned a blind eye.

"Drinke less." Luo Yong said. Since the whole class is going, what else can I say? Unless Qiao Junlin wants to be excluded from the group, he will have to go with him.

"Yes." Qiao Junlin responded.

Speaking of which, since Daluo used this Chang'an City, he often went in and out with Qiao Junlin, but sometimes they would have their own things to be busy with.

For example, when Qiao Junlin was going out for social events with others, or in the past few days, Luo Yong's disciples came over, and the master and apprentice were busy with the work of the grocery store in the north and south.

On that night, Si Niang Wulang and Liu Lang Qiniang both went to Guangdefang, and Luo Yong also went there. Most of his disciples now live in Guangdefang.

These people go out to search for shops during the day, and sleep in the Ma family's workhouse at night, and eat at Chonghuafang. Aunt Luo now has many helpers under her command, and she has to arrange one or two helpers to cook every day. Most of the disciples Luo used in these days are eating with them.

According to Luo Yong’s master and apprentice, the location of their shop is preferably in the area around the West City. The location does not necessarily have to be very good, but the place must be large enough and access must be convenient.

"I looked at a shop on the street from Huaidefang today. The location is a little far from the gate. The place is large enough and the price is appropriate."

On that night, Aunt Luo led Si Niang Wulang and the others out shopping. Luo Yong still got together with his disciples and talked. Recently, their masters and disciples always had endless things to say.

"It may not be necessary to be very close to the shop gate. After all, we sell groceries and not open a wine shop." Luo Yong finished speaking and asked again: "Is the front door spacious enough?"

"Very spacious." The disciple replied, "There is an alley next to it. If the car in front of the door is much more straight, you can move into the alley."

"I'll go and take a look at it at noon tomorrow." Luo Yong said.

If it is appropriate, he plans to buy the yard. Luo Yong doesn't have much money on hand now, but Aunt Luo has money. She said she wanted to buy a tofu shop, but she didn't find a very favorite place for a while. This time, Luo Yong planned to use the money first, and then save it slowly later.

"If this shop is settled, what will we sell there in the future?" Xu Dalang asked at this time.

"Of course, there is nothing to do." Luo Yong replied.

"It's probably a bit messy," Xu Dalang frowned. He felt that like the shops next to the sheep house in Xipo Village, each store only sells one or two items, which is quite good.

"I'm afraid he's not mixed enough." Luo Yong said with a smile.

"What does Master mean?" Xu Erlang was also a little confused, mixed but not refined. Can this transaction be done?

"Come here, listen to me..." Luo Yong asked his disciples to get closer, and then told them about his plans in this way, and then said, "Don't be so proud of this. It's better to surprise everyone until the day of opening."

"Then I'll send someone to send a message back to Li Shi in the past two days and ask them to send more goods." Xu Erlang's eyes were bright and shiny.

"The more you have, the better." Luo Yong said with a smile.

Later, Si Niang and a few came back from outside, and Luo Yong said to them: "Brother, you are going to open a shop in this Chang'an City. If you have time in the past two days, print more papers and put them in the shop for sale."

"Print a hundred copies of every ten-day paper?" Si Niang said happily. The carved papers of those papers are ready-made. At this time, you only need to brush some ink on the ready-made carved papers, then cover them with paper and print them. How easy and pleasant is this money.

"When the paper in late December comes out, you can make a collection of questions for the eleventh year of Zhenguan, sew it with needle and thread, and then put it on the cover." Luo Yong gave them an idea.

"Can you print 300 copies first?" Goro said boldly. In addition, he thought that 300 copies was already a very bold decision.

"It's okay to print 500 copies." Luo Yong said with a smile.

In fact, Luo Yong felt that these 500 copies were not enough. The math papers he gave were already quite famous in Chang'an City. I believe that in the near future, they will also be circulated outside Chang'an City.

In addition, many young people from foreign countries have studied in Chang'an City these days, and they may have the idea of ​​spending money to buy hundreds of questions to go back to their country.

In this environment, three or five hundred questions are enough to sell to whom? Do you know how many books can be sold in a year for the college entrance examination materials called Queen Shi in the future?

He was the result of competing with others. Luo Yong now has no competitor. In a large blank market, he only does exclusive business alone. This feels like a great mountain of gold and silver. No one knows it yet, just waiting for him to move alone.

"Five hundred?"

"It's really sold out?"

"What if it's like last time, it's printed but can't be sold?"

"Brother, can we ship the booklets we left on Lishi and sell them here?"

"Of course it's OK."

"Brother..."

"What to do?"

"Then...how do you share the money you sold?"

"If it is the paper I have produced, it will be divided into 55%; if it is not, it will be divided into 37% and I will be divided into 37% and you will be divided into 37% and I will be divided into 37% and you will be divided into 37% and I will be divided into 37% and you will be divided into 37% and 37% and 7% and 37% and 37% and 37% and 37% and 37

Luo Yong found it a little funny. None of his disciples mentioned this matter of sharing now, so Si Niang mentioned it first.

Luo Yong also thought about the share of the goods in advance. Those disciples were responsible for shipping, Luo Yong was responsible for buying shops and opening shops, hiring people to sell goods, and the double-easy share was divided into 73. Of course, if any disciple came to this shop to help sell goods, Luo Yong would also pay him a salary.

Seeing that they were about to make a lot of money, Si Niang and Wulang were so excited, and Liu Lang and Qi Niang were also happy, one by one, as if they were eager to get into the money.

Luo finally coaxed them to sleep. Just as he was about to rest, he heard someone knocking on the door outside, and thought it was his disciples. When he opened the door, he found that it was Qiao Junlin.

"Why are you here?" The gate has been closed at this moment. Could this kid be...

"It's too boring to stay there." Qiao Junlin said lightly. Needless to say, this kid obviously broke a curfew.
