Chapter 220 - 220 216 Daylilys Carefree Worry-Free
?Chapter 220: Chapter 216: Daylily’s Carefree Worry-Free Chapter 220: Chapter 216: Daylily’s Carefree Worry-Free Madam Xuanyuan smiled and said, “Do not hurry, let’s first agree on the pricing of the paper.”
Ruo Xuan nodded her little head, “That’s right, we haven’t set a price yet. The paper from our workshop can’t be priced like those outside, it’s too expensive, and not many people can afford it. In the past, my brothers wouldn’t dare to use paper for their writing practice because it was so costly—they would either practice on a sand table or dip their brushes in water to write on the tabletop.”
The elder Madam Xuanyuan felt a pang in her heart, gently stroked the snow-white paper in her hand, and said softly, “Then, Xuanbao, what do you think would be an appropriate price for this paper per sheet in silver?”
Ruo Shui was also deeply moved, as many students from poor families worry over the cost of a single sheet of paper, after all, he himself had worried about the same thing.
He gently touched his beloved daughter’s little head, “Let’s listen to Xuanbao. Sell it a bit cheaper; it can’t be as expensive as the paper sold outside. Make it affordable for everyone to buy paper.”
Ruo Xuan didn’t know how much silver it actually took to make a sheet of paper, but she knew how her family’s bookstore set prices for each book. Her father would calculate the cost of the paper used in a book, the ink, the labor, the rent, damage, etc., and after totaling everything, they would figure out how much profit they made on each book.
She said, “How about earning fifty wen for every bundle of paper?”
Nowadays, paper is sold in bookstores by the bundle, primarily because newly made paper has uneven edges and needs trimming.
The two big paper workshops produce paper that, when trimmed, commonly amounts to one hundred sheets per bundle.
