"Clang clang clang!"
As the gongs and drums for the opening of the east and west cities were sounded, countless people waiting outside the gates filed in. Different from the past, the people today were particularly anxious and seemed to be scrambling. Even those who had just beaten the gongs and drums The officials were all squeezed and staggered!
"Hey, hey, don't squeeze, don't squeeze. What's the point of squeezing?"
The official stretched out his hand and shouted to the crowd, but he was helpless and alone. His shout was drowned in the vast sea of people before it could be heard.
A quarter of an hour later, when the first group of people had all entered the East Market, the official wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to his companions with lingering fear:
"Huh, why are these people so anxious today? Is there anything new in Dongshi today?"
Another official looked away and said nonchalantly: "Whatever, Wang Da, just look here for a while and I'll go read the latest "Mortal Cultivation of Immortality". Hey, this is what I just bought this morning. !”
"Hey, why are you lazy again!"
"Is this also called laziness? At worst, I will explain it to you after reading it. Anyway, you won't know the words even if I show you!"
"Hey, that's great!"
… … …
"Dear friends, today our Funny Culture officially opens. Today, all books in the store are discounted at 15% for a limited time. Since the store has just opened, there are only fifteen kinds of books now. Over time, there will be more and more kinds of books. I hope you will Thank you for your support! The prices of each type of book have been posted here. If you have any questions, please come and take a look!"
In the East Market, in front of a small vermilion building next to the Qiqi Pavilion, Sun Huaiyuan, with a glowing face, spoke loudly to the crowd who came here.
Since there was no suitable candidate for the time being, Li Zexuan sent Sun Huaiyuan to serve as the shopkeeper of Qiqi Culture first. Anyway, there is only one aisle between Qiqu Pavilion and Qiqu Culture. If anything happened over there, Sun Huaiyuan would be completely covered. There's no time to deal with it.
As soon as Sun Huaiyuan finished speaking, there was a crowd below to look at the price list in front of the door, and then there was a "buzzing" discussion among the crowd.
"Hey, the price here is exactly the same as the one in the newspaper. There is no lie in the newspaper!"
"Yeah, it's incredible!"
"Hey, isn't this Shopkeeper Sun? Why didn't you stay in Qiqi Pavilion and came here?"
"Yes, Shopkeeper Sun, why are you here?"
… …
Sun Huaiyuan pressed his hands. After the crowd calmed down, he smiled and said: "Thanks to the employer's respect, Sun is able to serve as the shopkeeper of two stores at the same time. Everyone has also seen that the prices of the books in the Funny Culture store are not as good as those of other stores." The price of similar books in bookstores is 10%. The original intention of our Qiqi Culture store is to enable all the scholars in Datang to read books.
Therefore, of all the books in our store, each person can only purchase one copy within three months, and all books must be signed and pledged. Please consciously abide by the regulations and do not buy too much under your name. We will conduct regular inspections. Once an illegal customer is found, you will be permanently included in our Funny Culture blacklist and will never be able to buy our Funny Culture products in the future. All… books out! "
Sun Huaiyuan's words made everyone in the audience excited. In this era, not many people can afford to buy books. A volume of books can even buy a pretty little maid. Books are really more valuable than life. Therefore, no matter the dynasty changes, books are the most valuable items. This is a kind of inheritance and a kind of belief. It is somewhat similar to houses in modern society. No matter how fast the RMB depreciates, houses are still the most valuable commodity and the fastest appreciating commodity. It is difficult for modern people to buy a house, and similarly it is difficult for ancient people to buy a book!
Therefore, when they heard Sun Huaiyuan's words, "Let all scholars in the Tang Dynasty be able to read," many scholars who were usually gentle and gentle at this time roared the loudest.
"Shopkeeper Sun said it well!"
"Well done, Shopkeeper Sun!"
“Support Fantastic Culture!”
"Let all scholars in the Tang Dynasty be able to read books!"
… …
"Okay! Thank you for your support. Now Funny Culture is officially open. Due to the limited space in the store, please go in in batches to select the books you want according to the order in which you are in the queue. Remember, each person can only I can buy a copy!”
Sun Huaiyuan clapped his hands and announced the official opening of Funny Culture. Everyone in the audience couldn't help but cheer loudly. The dozen or so "lucky guys" at the front quickly "rushed" in excitedly. Among them were the few scholars who first discovered the advertisement in the newspaper in the morning.
"Wow, this book is made of fine rice paper. Calculating it this way, how much do you have to pay for a book about this interesting culture?"
After entering the house, these people hurriedly went to the bookshelf to find their favorite books. One of the scholars picked up a book and looked through it. After touching the paper, he exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes, it uses such good paper, so how much does this book cost? Isn't Funny Culture losing money?"
"Yes! Even if the owner of Funny Culture is rich, I'm afraid it's impossible to keep losing money like this, right?"
"Hi~! Look at the words in this book! They are horizontally and vertically straight, and the workmanship is neat. The printing is clearer and neater than other books. The printing quality shows how high the carving skills of the woodblock craftsmen are!"
"Damn it, I thought the reason why this interesting culture book was sold so cheaply was because it was shoddily made. I didn't expect that both the paper and the printing quality were much higher than other books, and it also sold for So cheap~! Crazy!”
"Crazy, this interesting culture is really crazy! Such a good book, at this price, I really want to buy them all!"
“It’s a pity that I can only buy one copy of each kind!”
"Shopkeeper, give me one of each of these fifteen kinds of books!"
"Shopkeeper, I also want a copy of each kind. Here, I'll give you the money!"
Sun Huaiyuan replied with a smile: "Okay, a total of 1,700 yuan!"
"Hey, hey, Brother Hua, I didn't bring enough money when I went out today. Can you lend me some? Don't worry, I'll pay it back as soon as I get back!"
A scholar touched his shriveled pocket and suddenly looked depressed. He finally got to the front of the queue, but he didn't bring any money. What a painful realization it was!
He looked at his classmates and friends and quickly called for help. No one could bear to give up such a good opportunity! Buy it and earn it.
"Okay, here you go!"
The scholar surnamed Hua thought for a while and handed the man a golden bean.
"Hey, Brother Hua, please lend me some money. I'm still five hundred yuan short. If I don't buy such a good book today, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"
"That's right, Brother Hua, you can't just die without saving me!"
Seeing this, the other two scholars quickly joined in!
