?Chapter 206: Chapter 202 Flourishing Business Chapter 206: Chapter 202 Flourishing Business The three of them were very happy to hear Ruo Xuan say that she had made a lot of silver.
Granny Lei finally put her worries to rest, “As long as the business is good, that’s all that matters.”
As long as the bookstore’s business was thriving, the silver needed for her grandsons’ education would be secured, and Xuanbao’s dowry would become more substantial.
Madam Liu and Madam Jiang were also pleased; no one wouldn’t hope for their family to prosper.
Excited, Madam Jiang didn’t think twice before asking, “How much silver are we talking about? Have you calculated it yet?”
Madam Liu smiled and said, “Xuanbao came back early, so I reckon the accounts for today haven’t been settled yet!”
Ruo Xuan didn’t know about the rest, but she did know roughly how much silver they sold before she left for home: “According to the cost calculations they did, after deducting the costs of brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, the gifts, and the wages, as well as the shares given to Master Han and Brother Xuanyuan, the net profit should be around a thousand taels. The main reason our costs were high this time is because we gave out many gifts for the opening. Otherwise, we could have earned even more!”
In this dynasty, paper and ink were expensive. The books of Wenyuan Pavilion were printed on high-quality Xuan paper, and each book’s cost was quite high since it was stamped with prestigious Hui Ink that was worth a taels of gold per taels.
Of course, the most expensive were those gifts; aside from the fifty bottles of Yanmo elixir, which did not cost silver, the brushes and draw prizes all required silver to purchase, and they were all selected for their high quality.
