He had come to greet Ye Muyu, but he was shocked when he heard her words. His heart skipped a beat as he looked at Ye Muyu, who had a gentle expression and spoke elegantly and methodically.
He knew how powerful the other party was.
He knew how much it was because he had recorded it.
However, Madam seemed to have only looked at the bookcase just now.
She did not even take an abacus. Was this… Mental arithmetic?
Zhang Yan was even more shocked. He did not dare to think about the truth. He stepped forward nervously and bowed. “Madam, I’m free now.”
“May I know if Madam has anything to ask?”
“It’s nothing. I just came to see how the business is doing. It looks like business is good.” Ye Muyu had a smile on her face and looked very easy to get along with.
After Zhang Yan had guessed in his heart, he no longer dared to underestimate her. With such ability, even a woman could not be underestimated.
Moreover, the other party was the wife of a scholar.
“Madam, you and Master are really thoughtful. Basically, many students are willing to buy these test papers once I tell them what they are.”
“How many test papers and books do you plan to go to the book workshop to order next?” Ye Muyu asked calmly.
Zhang Yan instantly became serious. “Madam, this is what I’m thinking. If the students are willing to buy it, they can pay a hundred copper coins as a deposit. When the test papers are returned from the book workshop in two days, I’ll sell it to them for a hundred copper coins less.”
“This way, we can determine the approximate quantity. We won’t have to print too much and leave it in the shop.”
