That day, after Red Bean and Peach finalized the payment for " Muye Love Story ", it was already late at night. She left in a hurry.
Peach was left alone in the office again. After finishing all the work at hand, he leaned back in his chair and relaxed, then picked up the manuscript again.
After reading it carefully again, Peach heaved a sigh of relief. She muttered," This author really knows how to keep people in suspense. I wonder how sweet the love story between Meatball and Miss Rika will be!"”
The corners of Peach's lips curled up a little. She had a good impression of this novel. It had been a long time since Yanbo Bookstore had received such an explosive manuscript.
As she held the script in her hand, a question suddenly flashed across her mind. She flipped through the manuscript page by page in a hurry. After confirming it again and again, the corners of her mouth twitched…
She held her forehead. The script that Red Bean had brought over just now only had the first chapter, which was about 20000 words. Shaking her head, Peach thought irritably, No, it's too little!
If it was only 20,000 words, even if the words were enlarged by one size, the printed book would still be extremely thin! Under normal circumstances, the books they published were usually 70,000 to 100,000 words each. For example, the popular " Intimate Paradise " was a standard edition of 100,000 words.
How to publish this was really a problem. Putting down the manuscript, Peach began to frown and think hard about how she should publish this Love Story of Muye.
Peach could only blame herself for this. When Red Bean's manuscript came over, she had read the beginning and felt that " Muye Love Story " was different from the " routine " books that she had read before. Then, she fell into a daze the moment she read it!
In addition, when Red Bean was negotiating with her about the price, she had asked for an exorbitant price, so she had forgotten about this! Sigh, now that things had come to this, she could only go and talk to Red Bean about this matter and ask for the next draft!
However, it was already late at night. It would be rude to disturb others at this time. Peach thought for a moment and decided to set the time for tomorrow after work. It just so happened that she didn't have to work overtime. It was the best of both worlds.
Mitarai Red Bean's house was located in the middle of the village, the most prosperous area in the entire Kanye Village. The house was not particularly big, and she lived alone. There was a cherry blossom tree in front of the door. Without leaves, it was bare and quite comical.
As the setting sun dyed half the sky red, Peach stood panting in front of Mitarai's house. She looked at the sign on the door plate with a horrified expression, which read " Out on a mission, Master is not at home ". The sign was messy in the wind!
Peach was a little dejected. After all, she was just an ordinary person. There was not a trace of chakra on her! It took her more than half an hour to reach Mitarai's residence!
In fact, if Peach had come a little earlier, she might have bumped into Red Bean. The two of them were right behind each other and missed each other.
" Sigh…" Peach sighed and turned around to leave helplessly. As she walked, she thought,'Should I wait for Red Bean to return from her mission and submit the rest of the chapters before publishing them together?'
A 20,000-word novel was too thin. Moreover, the covers of the books in Yanbo Bookstore were all made of colored cardboard. If there were too many volumes, the cost would definitely be too high. Moreover, he didn't know if it would sell, so the best way was to wait for Red Bean to come back.
The bustling central area was still bustling with people. As Peach walked, she felt a little hungry. She had only eaten a little for breakfast today. Coincidentally, when she stopped, it was the signature barbeque dish of Kinoha Village, Barbecue Q!
Rubbing her slightly shriveled belly, Peach stepped into the grill without hesitation. After ordering, she followed the waiter to a single table and sat down.
There were no cell phones in the Naruto World today, just like how no one had a cell phone many years ago. His entertainment and pastime were still mainly based on paper media.
There were usually newspapers or magazines on the dining table for the customers to read to pass the time. As the most popular barbeque dish in the whole of Muye Village, it was often full of customers. Sometimes, the dishes were served slowly, so newspapers and magazines were essential.
There were some books neatly arranged on her desk. Peach took them all over, intending to find something interesting to read. However, just as she picked them up, a small book fell out with a clatter!
"Eh?" Putting down the magazines and newspapers, Peach picked up the small book curiously and said," Isn't this a pocket book?”
Pocket book was the jargon of the publishing house. It referred to the smallest book, which was the size of a palm and could be put directly into a pocket. Peach understood immediately when she flipped it open. It was a comic book, the kind that was meant for children.
It must have been a child who accidentally left it behind.
Yanbo Bookstore also printed this kind of pocket book, but it was a minority. Unlike ordinary books, these pocket books could be sold directly in convenience stores and grocery stores. Compared to ordinary books, the sales method was more flexible.
In order to attract children, many shops and restaurants would put some at the entrance. If the children entered, would they be afraid that their parents would not enter?
Peach was a businessman who was highly appreciated by the big boss of Yanbo Bookstore. She was very sensitive to business opportunities.
After flipping through the pocket book, she rubbed it a few more times and suddenly had an idea! Print " Muye Love Story " into a pocket book!
A palm-sized piece of paper would at most be 100 words per page. If it was 20000 words, it would just be enough for 100 pages. It would not feel too thin.
Moreover, this way, the sales of " Muye Love Story " would not be limited to bookstores. Ordinary shops, restaurants, and even taverns would be able to sell it as long as they gave a little profit.
"Miss, your roast meat is here."
At this moment, the waiter also served the roast meat. Peach collected her thoughts and said with a smile," Thank you!"
Peach was in a wonderful mood. Who knew how long it would take for a Jounin to go out on a mission? She did not want to drag it out any longer. Now, the problem had been solved.
The most important thing was that the roast meat was already on the table. Putting this matter aside, the world was big, and eating was the most important!
Peach was very efficient. As long as she thought of something, she would do it immediately. So, after eating and drinking her fill, she decisively returned to the bookstore and began to prepare for the printing of " Kuroha Love Story."
The first time was also to test the waters. She planned to print 10,000 copies of the pocket book," Muye Love Story," and sell it only in Muye for the time being to see if it could open up the market.
