Chapter Thirty-Seven: Business Comes to the Door

Lantian Town is not big, not as big as those big cities, but it is definitely not small, the whole town has a population of more than 100,000, and the scale is not much smaller than some small counties.

The days are also relatively peaceful, and the result is that there are basically few noteworthy things on weekdays, but in the past few days, there has been a major event in the town, and a young master and eldest lady who have returned from staying abroad in the city have come to the town, and they have also opened a newspaper, named Xinfeng Newspaper, and began to get newspapers in the town.

The newspaper is no longer a novelty in this era, but in Lantian Town, it is the first time in the world, and it is the eldest lady and the eldest young master who have returned from the city to stay abroad, and the mayor of the town has personally come out to receive it, which shows that the origin is not small, so as soon as the newspaper opened, it attracted the attention of almost half of the people in the town.

"Liqing, Liqing, good news, the number of newspapers sold this morning has been counted, there are more than two hundred copies, and we have succeeded. ”

In the afternoon, Peter was dressed in a suit, wearing a shirt and vest, his hair was combed and shiny, and he hurriedly walked in from the outside with gold-framed eyes and rushed to a literary beauty from the newspaper desk, the woman was also dressed in a suit-style uniform, tall, with a beautiful face, and long black shawl hair, very beautiful, and a quiet temperament.

It was the woman who started the newspaper with Peter, whose surname was Yang, whose name was Liqing, and whose full name was Yang Liqing.

"More than two hundred, so many?" Yang Liqing was also surprised, a little unexpected.

Selling more than 200 newspapers, and just a town, in this era when most ordinary people have a low standard of living, it is not an amazing sales, Yang Liqing's calm face couldn't help but show surprise, seeing Yang Liqing's performance, the smile on Peter's eyes was even bigger.

"Yes, it's only a morning, and it's just a small town in Lantian Town, and when the scale of our newspaper expands and sells to other major cities such as provincial capitals, and various places, what kind of scene will it be, and how many copies of the newspaper are sold, even if one only makes a penny, it adds up to an absolutely astronomical amount. ”

Peter opened his mouth with a burning look in his eyes, money, but it is a good thing, and there are few people in the world who do not love it.

But it just so happens that there is really a person here who doesn't love money very much, Yang Liqing's face was still a little surprised when she heard Peter's words, and she immediately condensed slightly, and frowned.

"Peter, I told you a long time ago, I promised to start a new wind newspaper with you not for money, I am to use what I have learned, to help our compatriots as much as possible, so that they can see the world more realistically, do my best, do what I can do, if you are to make money, I don't think we need to cooperate. ”

"Moreover, today is the first time we have published and sold a newspaper, and there were no newspapers in the town before, and many people may have bought them out of novelty, so this number is only inflated, and it is difficult to say whether we will be able to maintain such sales in the future, so don't be too early to rejoice. ”

Peter's face froze, but he immediately returned to a smile and said as if he were flattering.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! What Liqing said is that it is our city's philistine, and there will be no next time, you can rest assured. ”

Peter laughed and said, Yang Liqing glanced at Peter when she heard this, although she was unhappy, but she didn't say more, she knew that Peter's family, the merchant's house, had a lot of energy in the provincial capital, and it was inevitable to be contaminated with the mercenary atmosphere of the businessman, and the two were classmates, and most of the money for running the newspaper was basically funded by Peter, and she didn't want to stiffen the relationship.

"Excuse me, do you still have newspapers to sell?"

At this moment, a crisp woman's voice sounded, glutinous, soft, very good, turned her head, and saw a woman walking in from the door of the newspaper office, dressed ordinarily, a little rustic, but her face was very delicate, pure with a kind of charm, especially the figure was very prominent, plump and full.

Peter's eyes lit up, and he walked up quickly: "Does the girl need any help?"

Xu Jie glanced at Peter, and saw that the other party was dressed in a gentle manner, but her gaze made her uncomfortable for a while, giving her a sense of lust, and she always felt that this person was not like a good person, but she didn't show much of it, and said, "I want to buy a newspaper." ”

"Look at the girl herself?!" Peter's eyes lit up again.

"No, I bought it for someone else, and I can't read myself. Xu Jie said a little embarrassed.

"So the girl can't read?!"

The light in Peter's eyes was extinguished instantly, and he thought that he was illiterate, and he lost his mind in an instant.

Xu Jie heard Peter's heavy contempt, and also bit her lower lip with silver teeth, and felt a kind of inferiority complex and shame in her heart, but thinking that it was Lin Tianqi who asked her to buy a newspaper when she went back, she resisted the urge to go out directly.

"Girl, this is the newspaper you wanted, two pennies. Yang Liqing next to her came from the side with a newspaper and handed it to Xu Jie.

"Thank you. Xu Jie took it, thanked her after paying, and then left quickly, she didn't want to stay here longer.

"Peter, you've just gone a little too far. ”

After Xu Jie left, Yang Liqing frowned and looked at Peter and said, although Peter didn't say anything just now, but anyone could hear the contempt in that tone, which hurt people's self-esteem.

When Peter heard this, he was a little inexplicable, and he didn't realize what was wrong with him.

...............

"Brother, Brother Lin. After a while, Xu Jie returned to Yizhuang, and when she pushed the door, she saw Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng in the courtyard.

"I'm back, how is working in the teahouse, is it still going well? Seeing his sister, Xu Dongsheng grinned and asked Xu Jie about her work, a few days ago, Xu Jie found a job here serving tea and water to people in a teahouse.

"Well, it's all fine. Xu Jie smiled, and then stepped forward to Lin Tianqi: "Brother Lin, the newspaper you want." ”

At this time, Lin Tianqi had just finished punching and was sweating, Lin Tianqi stretched out his sweaty quilt to pick up the newspaper, and smiled at Xu Jie at the same time: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"Don't bother, Brother Lin, you read the newspaper first, I'll go to the kitchen to cook." ”

Xu Jie also smiled sweetly and said, without saying much about the newspaper just now.

"Good. ”

Lin Tianqi nodded, took the newspaper, nodded with a smile, walked to the stone bench under the tree next to the yard, sat down, and began to flip through it.

Because he wants to know, what year is it now, what period of the Republic of China is in, although it has been nearly three months since the time, and the time is October, but because the information of this Lantian Town is too backward, it is almost difficult for him to get any news about the situation outside, that is, he still doesn't know what year it is from the Republic of China.

This is a terrible thing, because this era is too unstable, and wars are everywhere, = it is very likely that a sudden gun will come and you don't know it.

In this kind of era, if you can avoid these wars in advance, it is naturally the best, otherwise, in the war, even if they are cultivators, after all, they are just flesh and blood, not to mention cannons, even if the bullets hit the body, there will be a few more holes.

"October 1927!"

Soon, Lin Tianqi got what he wanted to know the most, the specific time point now.

October 1927!

.....................

Time flickered, and three days later, my master and uncle still did not come back, but at this time, there was business at the door.

The so-called business is for those of them who are cultivators, and naturally it cannot be the kind of business of ordinary people.
