 Chapter 377: Ways to Make Money

A bookstore could also sell ink.


She paid an initial deposit of thirty taels of silver and confirmed to collect the goods seven days later. The total cost for printing all the books would be three hundred and fifty taels.


Ye Muyu's savings were not enough at once, so she decided to pay the full amount seven days later. She hadn't requested a large quantity to be printed. With an average cost of one tael per book, she printed only three hundred and fifty books in total.


Among them, the exam papers and Professor Zhang's annotated books were the most printed. For the common Four Books and Five Classics, she printed ten copies of each, and for miscellaneous records, medical books, and books on hydraulics, she printed five copies each. The quantity for each category did not exceed twenty and was no less than five.


In summary, it was a relatively small order.


But it cost a total of three hundred and fifty taels!


She only had thirty taels on her, leaving her with three hundred and twenty taels. Although Chu Heng had offered to cover the expenses, Ye Muyu also wanted to earn a bit more on her own. Relying solely on Chu Heng was not in her nature.


Coming out of the bookstore, Luchuan saw Ye Muyu furrowing her brows, seemingly deep in thought and troubled about something.


"Madam, Master instructed me to take you back to the village and then come to pick him up."


Ye Muyu nonchalantly responded with an "okay."


"Allow me a moment to think about something." Ye Muyu contemplated.


Seeing her deep in thought, Luchuan did not disturb her.


If doing business, the most challenging part was the initial investment. Ye Muyu was well aware of this. Therefore, her top priority now was to gather investors.


"Let's go, we'll buy something first." Ye Muyu got on the carriage, pointing in a direction.


Luchuan was skilled at driving the carriage and was familiar with the roads. He practically went wherever Ye Muyu pointed.


Using the last living expenses that Chu Heng had given her, she bought some materials and took a stroll in the marketplace. Seeing someone selling pomelos, Ye Muyu asked Luchuan to buy seven or eight of them.


When they returned home, it was only about the eleventh hour.


Hu Shi had just turned over the vegetables she had dried yesterday, and Chu Ziluo and Nenya had gone to the old house.


Zhang Shu had gone out to cut grass.


As Ye Muyu returned, Hu Shi quickly opened the courtyard door and greeted her. She took the cloth bag containing the pomelos from Luchuan and expressed some doubt, "Madam, are these pomelos for eating? Pomelos are indeed in season now. I saw someone in the village planting pomelo trees on Chai Mountain. I'm afraid the pomelos there are ripe too."


"Well, if you want to eat pomelos, buy them in the village. The price should be much cheaper."


Hearing this, Ye Muyu took out some broken silver from her waist and handed it to Hu Shi, saying, "Put down these pomelos. Let Luchuan carry them in. You go check the pomelo trees in the village. If the peel is yellow, buy some."


"Alright, Madam." Although Hu Shi didn't understand what Ye Muyu was planning to do, she was not a nosy person and nodded. She took the silver and went out.


Luchuan thought that Madam might be planning to make food.


Even if he knew, he didn't say much.


He carried all the things Ye Muyu bought into the yard.


"Madam, do you need me to do anything?" Luchuan did not immediately go to the county.


Today, Master didn't assign any tasks to him, indicating that he should help Madam with the work at home.


Ye Muyu pointed to the pomelos. "Help me peel off the skins of these pomelos, and don't damage them."


"Yes." Luchuan carried the bag of pomelos, walked to the eaves in front of the kitchen, grabbed a small stool, and sat down, quickly peeling the skins.


Ye Muyu changed into a new outfit and put on an apron before entering the kitchen.


Opening the cupboard, she found a large jar of honey inside.


The idea of making honey pomelo tea had been in her mind for a long time. Previously, when the pomelos were not ripe and lacked the raw materials, she had to put it off.
