"Yes!" The guy nodded dryly, "Childe is going to print some poetry collections?" ”

Luo Xin's expression was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help asking, "What?" Is there a lot of people who print poetry books? ”

The guy smiled and said: "Naturally, there are a lot of them, the prices we charge here are very cheap, and there are many readers who print poetry collections for sale in our place, you can rest assured, our bookstore has branches all over the country, and we will definitely spread your reputation in the shortest possible time." ”

When Luo Xin heard this, he immediately understood. This is a book that some scholars have paid for to print some poems they have written in order to make a name for themselves. At this time, the guy pointed to a row of bookshelves and said:

"Look, that's a collection of poems from all the scholars."

Luo Xin walked over, picked up a book and flipped through it, Zhou Yu also picked up a copy, and then laughed.

"Brother Xin, who do you guess came out of this poetry collection?"

"Who?" Luo Xin looked over curiously.

"Liu Xiuwen, hehe......" Zhou Yu said as he looked at it.

"Liu Xiuwen?" Luo Xin thought for a while and said: "Is it the Jinyang genius Liu Xiuwen who proposed to change the rules when he was fighting for water?" ”

"Yes, that's him. I didn't expect him to be so famous, hehe......"

At this time, the guy also followed and said seriously: "Liu Gongzi is a poetry collection that still sells well." ”

"Really?"

Zhou Yu pursed his lips, looking like he didn't look down on these poems, but he didn't say anything else, it's always bad to spread out and make enemies for no reason. And at this moment, a maid walked in and said:

"Excuse me, does Liu Gongzi have a new collection of poems for sale?"

The guy gave Zhou Yu and Luo Xin a look, which meant. What do you think? I'm not wrong, Liu Gongzi's poetry collection is sought after, and then he said to the maid:

"I'm sorry, Liu Gongzi doesn't have a new collection of poems recently."

"That's it!" The maid left sullenly.

The guy said: "Liu Gongzi's poetry collection is very popular with the women in the embroidery pavilion, and he often sends maids to buy it. Two sons, let me introduce you to you. We are here to help the sons print and sell poetry collections. We will take a deposit of five taels of silver first, and we will be responsible for printing and selling, and the silver will be divided into two and a half cents. ”

Seeing that Luo Xin and Zhou Yu were silent, and their faces showed a look of crying and laughing, the guy hurriedly said again:

"Of course, this share price is not impossible to negotiate, if Childe's poetry collection sells well......"

Luo Xin waved his hand to stop the guy and said, "I'm not here to sell poetry books, and that ...... Liu Gongzi's purpose is different. ”

The guy's expression was stunned, and Luo Xin continued: "You don't have the kind of people here who only publish books without paying for them. Your bookstore pays for the printing and sale, and then the two sides divide it? ”

"This ...... There are ......" The guy looked at Luo Xin suspiciously: "But those are some world-famous scholars, and they haven't asked Gongzi for his name!" ”

"You can call me Huang Shi Weng." Luo Xin said lightly: "I wrote a novel and want to ask your bookstore to pay for printing and selling, is your shopkeeper here?" ”

"Wait a minute!"

Although that guy looked down on Luo Xin and Zhou Yu in his heart, he thought in his heart, what could such two young people write? But the good quality still let him go to the back room.

After a while, a middle-aged man walked out, dressed in a Confucian shirt. has an elegant temperament, and at first glance he is also a person who has read books. Maybe there is still a talent in the body, and he arched his hand towards Luo Xin and Zhou Yu:

"The two sons want to find a book from the Despicable Bookstore?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded.

The middle-aged man still said with a gentle smile on his face: "Was it written by the two sons, or was it written by the teachers of the two sons?" ”

This middle-aged man really didn't believe that two such young people dared to let their bookstore pay for the book, and there were only two kinds of people who could dare to speak like this.

One is a person with power, and when they meet such a person, their bookstore will give the book even if they lose money.

The other is a learned person. When you meet such a grandmaster, they are naturally happy to contribute money and help to find you with such a grandmaster, which is your honor.

But......

No matter how you look at Luo Xin and Zhou Yu, they don't look like such people, so there are only people behind them. Either a powerful person, or a learned person.

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "It's not written by our division commander. It was written by Xiaosheng. ”

As he spoke, he took out the "Biography of Shushan" from his arms. The middle-aged man first heard Luo Xin say that this book was written by himself, and then saw the simple and crude book, and his brows furrowed slightly:

"This son, although the Despicable Bookstore also does this kind of business, but it only accepts the works of those grandmasters, hehe......"

Luo Xin understood, and the implication was that he, Luo Xin, wanted the bookstore to pay for the book, and he was not qualified enough. Zhou Yu, who was standing aside, blushed with embarrassment. Luo Xin is not annoyed, there is nothing wrong with businessmen doing this. But looking at the other party's appearance, even if the other party first looked at his book, he thought about it slightly and said:

"Shopkeeper, what do you think of this? I put this book on your consignment. ”

"Done!" The shopkeeper immediately nodded and said, "We also have a consignment business here, but we charge five cents a day for consignment." A deposit of 50 wen will be charged first. ”

"Okay!" Luo Xin put the book in his hand on the counter, and then took out another fifty yuan and said to the shopkeeper: "Trouble the shopkeeper to put this book in a conspicuous place, I will be five days later." If no one buys it, I'll take it away and don't want it for fifty dollars. ”

When the shopkeeper heard that Luo Xin paid ten days' rent, but only sold for five days, he nodded again and again:

"Okay, don't worry, Childe, I will definitely put him in the most conspicuous place. By the way, how much is Childe's book going to sell? ”

Luo Xin stretched out a palm, and the shopkeeper said, "Fifty Wen? ”

Luo Xin shook his head.

"Five hundred wen?"

"Fifty taels of silver!"

Luo Xin opened his mouth and said, the shopkeeper's face was stiff, fifty taels is fifty copper coins, that is fifty thousand copper coins. This...... That's too much of an exaggeration, right?

Seeing the shopkeeper's mouth wide open, Luo Xin said seriously: "Shopkeeper, even if you sell like this, I don't blame you for not being able to sell it." ”

"Yes!"

The shopkeeper secretly said in his heart, so he put "The Legend of Shushan" in the most conspicuous place on the novel bookshelf, and then wrote the words "fifty taels" on the price tag.

"Farewell!"

Luo Xin nodded with satisfaction, and then left the Zhuangyuan Bookstore with Zhou Yu, walking on the street, Zhou Yu looked at Luo Xin from time to time, Luo Xin was a little frightened by him, and said:

"Brother Xin, you're not sick, are you?"
