When Morn and the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce and others were busy, Lin Jie ran to the video store next door that had been abandoned by Colin—of course, it is now owned by Lin Jie—for a turn.
It needs to be explained here that it is not that he does not go out, but he rarely goes out, otherwise his usual food and research materials cannot be conjured out of thin air.
"…Did Colin 'loot' the place before he left? He seems to have sprayed his shop with perfume, though."
Lin Jie looked at the cluttered interior of the video store in a speechless manner, pushed the door open, walked in and walked around various debris on the ground, looking left and right, and the general layout had a panoramic view.
It can be opened in such a perfect and quiet area, and the business level is comparable to that of his bookstore. Naturally, it will not be a big store.
The entire audio and video store is even smaller than his bookstore, with shelves in the middle and on all sides, making the entire space very cramped and crowded.
With Colin's stature, it would be difficult to walk between these shelves every day.
"It's no wonder he always likes to watch TV on the sofa."
Lin Jie slandered while browsing the various discs, tapes and magazines visited in the video store.
—He selectively forgets the fact that he, too, always likes to read behind the counter.
Colin's video store is no different from what is sold in the audio and video store on earth. Various movies and song discs, including vulgar and exciting tertiary films and even... 4th grade films, various entertainment magazines, cover girls It's all about how to expose, how to imply, how to come, but the specific content is definitely different.
These things are all placed in the most conspicuous place, and the more serious movie songs are all placed below, basically you can see what the virtue of this video store is.
Lin Jie rarely touches these things, but he doesn't shy away or despise them. Instead, he turns over all the shelves with great interest.
In his view, it is also part of culture and customs.
A complete civilization must have both high-level and low-level things, the elegant and profound, the vulgar and the simple, transcending material desires and relying on material desires, just like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, which complement each other and are inseparable.
When he studied folklore, he used to look at things in a dialectical way, rarely completely denying or affirming them, so his acceptance was also very high.
But there are only so many places here, and soon Lin Jie saw the single sofa that Colin had moved, and the TV that was fixed to the wall with a special bracket.
Lin Jie is listening to this TV broadcast news every day.
He looked for it, and sure enough, he found the remote control on the sofa. It felt oily when he touched it, and he knew that the remote control was probably "pulled" by Colin for a long time every day. .
Lin Jie tried it, and the TV was still in good condition, so he went upstairs to watch it.
Strangely enough, there were a lot of refined salt, gold leaf, and a few pearls on the table upstairs, as well as some plant powder that I didn’t know what they were used for, and there were a few hay that seemed to be the body next to it.
Lin Jie picked it up, sniffed it, and pondered: "It smells the same as the fragrance downstairs. Does Colin still have a hobby of making incense? It's really unbelievable. It seems that I really don't know my neighbors well enough, Ke Lin. Lin this can be regarded as Zhang Fei's needle threading, and there are some fines and thicks."
However, because of the refined salt in these materials, Lin Jie had another idea.
In Western concepts, salt can be used to exorcise evil spirits.
So when he misunderstood him as an evil spirit before, Colin may have used this formula to exorcise him.
Originally, Lin Jie would not have such an association, but King Candela, who was overthrown by him among the great swords, gave him a new idea, so he subconsciously had this idea.
"Whether it is or not, the misunderstanding is now resolved, and the Colin people are gone, it doesn't matter."
Lin Jie put down the things and walked down the second floor. The rest belonged to Colin's original living area.
He plans to transform it into a "book bar" attached to the bookstore.
Lin Jie's original store was full of bookshelves, not even a stool. Guests could only stroll around when they came in. It was very inconvenient to read books while standing up, plus they were all unfamiliar books, so he could basically only recommend them on his own initiative.
He was already used to the layout of the place, so why not just change this place to store the books he has already read, as well as some leisure and entertainment books and magazines, which can be borrowed and purchased, and then peddled some milk tea Whatever, let Morn manage.
On the other hand, the main body here has become a store with a library nature.
Each has its own advantages and may attract more guests.
Lin Jie went back to Edmund to tell him what he thought, and Moen's new identity had been settled. The next job for those followers was to renovate and renovate the second floor of the bookstore and the store next door.
It was three days after the general layout was remodeled, and the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce and his party also officially bid farewell to Lin Jie.
Regarding Lin Jie's enthusiastic promotion, Edmund said that Miss Qili was still waiting for their return, and it was inconvenient to stay any longer, so Lin Jie had no choice but to give up.
He left Mo En to look at the store, went to the newly built book bar by himself, touched the brand-new bookshelf and said tentatively, "Xiao Hei?"
Xiao Hei's appearance has always been strange.
This time, it was his shadow "folded" by the corner of the wall. The evening sun was shrouded in it, and the shadow deepened and elongated, forming a new individual on the wall.
Lin Jie looked at Xiao Hei on the wall and asked with a smile, "Can you do me one more favor?"
He previously speculated that it would be good for Xiao Hei to recommend his own books to the Azir, so he just recommended his "Crest and Totem" to Doris's family not long ago, and it was three in one breath. There are more than ten books, and it should not be difficult to ask Xiao Hei to help add a few more books.
After all, when he just recommended a book of "Rituals and Folklore" to Wilde, Xiao Hei took the initiative to run out to help him.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Jie finished speaking, Xiao Hei "collapsed" and turned into a black shadow to cover all the bookshelves. As Lin Jie thought, different kinds of entertainment and leisure books, novels, magazines... everything appeared. .
The way to control the bookshelf is the same as that of the old bookstore, it is entirely up to your heart.
"very good, thank you!"
Lin Jie looked around happily, and when he looked up again, the little black on the wall had disappeared.
It really hides the power and fame...
Lin Jie muttered, and went back to his bookstore first, and then let Mo En come over to get acquainted.
The second floor has been transformed into a layout of two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a study, and a small gym, and Morn lives in the smaller bedroom.
Lin Jie finally got back control of his own bedroom, because things went well, he planned to go to bed early to celebrate.
Lying on the bed, he bored out the fate coin that he had been carrying with him and tossed it once. Because the coin had the same head and tail, he put a red dot on the side that was the lucky coin before.
"It seems that today will be a good dream."
Lin Jie looked at the red dot on the corner of the coin in his hand, sighed and turned off the light to sleep.
But he didn't expect that when he opened his eyes again, there was a familiar white expanse in front of him.
The woman with white hair and silver eyes smiled gently at him:
"Welcome back."
