Chapter 21

Chapter 21A: First Time Visiting the Courtesan House

With Boss Li's guarantee, Luo Qing Luan finally took out the new novel she wrote.

For the sake of her money making plans, she also spent several days carefully researching the preferences of people in this area, including the novels distributed at the markets and all kinds of other kinds of light reading, etc. At last, she discovered a very interesting phenomenon.

Just like last time when Luo Qing Luan ran into that romance novel peddler, she had looked through the contents of that book. It was mediocre and nothing great, with no new ideas at all. After that, she again browsed some tens of other books and discovered that the substance was basically almost the same.

If the female character wasn't a high born young lady, then it's a newly widowed woman, or else a female singer, or a pure courtesan, etc. As for the male main character, it's even more strange, the stereotyped and repetitive scholar. It seemed as if besides scholars, they couldn't think of any other fitting type of person to be the main character.

And the storyline was just alike, only the names were changed. From the back garden changed to the river bank. Then from the woodshed changed to the side room, yet those readers still read them with great interest and even spent a high price of two silver taels to purchase a book.

As one could well imagine, if she took those hundreds of novels that she was familiar with, modified each character and wrote them into books, it's a guarantee that her books will cause a sensation in the erotic romance novels black market at the capital.

Just look at the book she wrote about Luo Qing Shuang and Nangong Chen and it's clear!

"Boss Li, this is the new storyline that I had just gotten a hold of from Vietnam. I guarantee that there's not a second one in Western Chu." Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly and give it to him.

Eating some snacks by their side, Dai Yue couldn't understand what she was seeing. When did her mistress have a relationship with Vietnam, that little book was clearly written by her, why did she say that?

But of course she wouldn't say anything. Anything that her mistress did must be right. She only needed to worry about helping her mistress save money and that's good enough.

Impatiently taking the little book, Boss Li quickly thumbed through it. Reading only the first page and his eyes already lighted up, praising, "Wonderful! Clever! You're surprisingly able to think of a romance involving a Buddhist nun. This truly is too fresh……"

"Sigh, I already said that I obtained this from Vietnam, not something I thought up." Luo Qing Luan deadpanned as she corrected him.

"Oh, yes, yes……I understand." Boss Li laughed mischievously, well aware that this thin skinned (sensitive) Young Master Luo was opinionated. He didn't unmask him and just smiled as he answered.

Luo Qing Luan told him, "This time, it's a set of books with two parts. Boss Li should print and sell the first book first, whet those people's appetite, then suspend them over a cliffhanger. Eager to find out what happens next, they'll be even more likely to look for you to place an order for the sequel. However, the price……"

Books could also be divided into two parts and not sell them at the same time?

Boss Li was surprised by this new marketing method, but once he thought about it, indeed, it made sense. Even though the parts of this book must not be sold at the same time, but those high officials and noble borns, wealthy masters, and young masters, who wasn't idle and bored, who didn't like reading these books?

Currently, plagiarized copies had already been written and distributed outside based on the book that was written last time. The others only changed or added some of the details. Moreover, their price was much cheaper. To a certain extent, they stole some of his business. If he was able to publish new books as two parts, then those customers who purchased the first book from his store could only continue to buy the second part at this store.

How was that not a better way to retain customers?

"Young Master Luo, brilliant!"

Boss Li genuinely felt admiration this time and did not hesitate in the slightest when Luo Qing Luan proposed the price of one thousand five hundred taels for the contents of this new book. After that, based on sales volume, they'll naturally distribute the share of profits based on 40%/60% again. Luo Qing Luan also wasn't excessively greedy.

After receiving the bank notes, she had Boss Li help her get one hundred taels in change, then she brought Dai Yue and left.

Once they left the bookstore, Dai Yue practically looked at her mistress with eyes filled with adoration. Her mistress merely wrote a few words and negotiated a little that's all, yet was able to make so much money. Indeed, her mistress was both smart and beautiful.

"Young Master, are we going somewhere to eat now?" She asked impatiently.

"You. Just like a chowhound." Luo Qing Luan smiled as she shook her head. Her eyes flashed, then she continued complacently. "Let's go. Today, I'll bring you to eat exotic delicacies."

Standing in front of the magnificent tower, Luo Qing Luan read the sign above them out loud. "Heavenly Dream Tower?"

Eh? Why doesn't this name sound like a restaurant, and instead sounded like a courtesan house?

Taking a look towards the inside, even though the big vermillion red front door was open, simply no tables were seen inside. Instead, countless numbers of translucent muslin curtains floated about, brimming with a vaguely extravagant taste. That fellow squatting at the front door was obviously out of energy, closing his eyes and dozing off. He basically did not have the appearance of someone who greets guests.

Seemed like it's truly a courtesan house?

At this time, the ladies are resting. The evenings are when this place bustled with noise and activity. But Luo Qing Luan not only didn't leave, she was even more interested instead.

She had already arrived at this era for period of time, yet she had not even seen their courtesan house before, not to mention making a visit. Since she'd arrived and had also brought money, then today, she will experience it for herself.

"Let's go. We're going in." Luo Qing Luan walked in the front and charged right through the main door.
