Chapter 111: New Books on Sale (Three More Requests for Subscription)
Mong Kok Hallin Bookstore, an old bookstore that has been open for decades, has a very good location, and business was also very prosperous in the past.
Early in the morning, the entrance of the bookstore on the side of the road was crowded with a crowd, and there were still people merging in the crowd behind.
This scene attracted the attention of many passers-by.
"Pretty boy, what are you doing here? Why are so many people gathered around?, and some people are giving money?" A middle-aged man with glasses who was passing by on a bicycle couldn't help but pull the brakes and stopped, pulling a young man with acne on his face at the outermost part of the crowd and asked.
"This uncle, which store have you seen that has sent money?" The young man with acne rolled his eyes and complained helplessly, if it wasn't for the uncle who asked him, if it was his peers, he would definitely spray, and if he spoke so brainlessly, he knew money money!
"This is the place where Xia Yu's "Xun Qin Ji" is on sale, I came to buy "Xun Qin Ji", I didn't read it all in the newspaper at all, I waited for so long, and finally arrived, I was so excited!" The pox-faced young man said in a more and more excited tone, his fists clenched, and his face became a little flushed.
""Searching for Qin" is on sale today? I've seen it too, it's very good!" The middle-aged man with glasses had his eyes lit up, revealing a look of interest.
"It turns out that uncle, you also see, hurry up, I heard that this time Jiuding Newspaper Company can't be printed, the number of sales is limited, first come, first served, this time I don't buy it will have to wait for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't have come over so early, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it!" said the pox-faced young man with emotion.
"There's such a thing, then you have to buy it quickly, wait, I'll park the car first!" Hearing the pox-faced young man's words, the middle-aged man with glasses was a little anxious, and after speaking, he pushed the bicycle to the side of the road and locked it, and also joined the waiting crowd.
As time passed, the bookstore still did not open, and the number of people gathered around the door of the bookstore increased, and many people were a little anxious, after all, they still had something to do during the day!
At the door of the bookstore, there is a large promotional poster, which has the cover of "Xun Qin Ji" that is about to go on sale, as well as the introduction.
"Why doesn't the boss open the door yet? I don't want to do business anymore?" At the bottom of the crowd, a white-collar worker who had been waiting for the longest time looked anxiously at his watch from time to time, with a look of impatience on his face, but seeing so many people behind him, he had to let himself wait patiently again.
After all, if he left this time, if it was really sold out, he would have to wait a few more days, how could he wait!
It was okay when "The Legend of the Qin Dynasty" was not published, everyone couldn't read it, and there would be no imbalance in their hearts, but now that "The Legend of the Qin Dynasty" has been published, if others read it and he didn't read it, then how could he stand it!
Besides, since six o'clock in the morning, I have been waiting for more than an hour, and it is a big deal to wait a little longer.
"If you're late, you're late, and if you say anything today, you have to buy "Xun Qin"!" the white-collar worker thought with a sigh of relief.
Just when more and more people in the crowd were impatient, at the back of the crowd, a middle-aged man in his forties with a mole on his chin came.
Seeing so many people around the door of the store, he was stunned, but when he heard the people around him talking about "Xun Qin Ji", his face immediately changed to surprise and pride, and he secretly sighed in his heart that he was really wise, and entered one hundred and fifty sets of "Xun Qin Ji", one hundred and fifty copies of each volume, a total of three hundred copies.
And now he counted, the number of people gathered around the door of his store was definitely not less than eighty, if they were all here to buy "Xun Qin Ji", then he would definitely make a lot of money.
"Hurry up and put the money in your pocket to rest assured!" said the middle-aged bookstore owner in his heart.
Thinking about it, he shouted and squeezed inside: "Let Rang, let Rang in front, let me in." ”
It's a pity that the middle-aged shopkeeper didn't squeeze in a few times, there are too many people here, and everyone wants to buy it early, resulting in a tight crowd.
"What a squeeze, the people who come from behind don't understand the rules, don't squeeze forward!" A person standing in front of the middle-aged shopkeeper was squeezed impatiently, turned his head and glared at him and said, his face full of impatience.
"I'm the owner of the bookstore, how can I open the door if I don't let me in?" The middle-aged shopkeeper was stunned, and he was in a bad mood, although he was a customer, but now it was obviously a seller's market, and his confidence was enough, and his tone became tougher.
The person who was scolded blinked, reacted immediately, his face changed, he became very enthusiastic, and quickly squeezed the person next to him, and made a gesture of invitation to the middle-aged shopkeeper: "This boss, please please, hurry up and open the door!"
"Hey, let the guy in front, the boss is here, let me find a way to open the door for him, otherwise everyone won't be able to buy it!" the man finished speaking to the shopkeeper, and shouted at the person in front of him in a loud voice.
Hearing the words from the crowd behind, the people in front all looked behind, and suddenly saw the middle-aged boss with a strange face, and then, everyone moved, and a road soon appeared, and I didn't expect that it was still crowded just now, as if it was completely crowded.
Seeing this road and the expectant eyes of the people around him, the middle-aged boss was in a good mood and walked towards the door of the store with his head held high.
He hadn't encountered this kind of scene for a long time, and it seems that the most recent one was when Kim Yong's last "Deer and Ding Ji" was published in 1972!
Unexpectedly, Xia Yu's "Looking for Qin" also has today's scenes, and "Looking for Qin" is still being serialized!
When he came to the door, the middle-aged boss turned around and shouted to everyone: "Wait a minute, don't crowd, line up, otherwise I won't open the door!"
He was worried that so many people would rush in and knock down his bookshelves, or someone would sneak away and take the books, and he wouldn't be able to collect the money alone.
Then, seeing that everyone began to line up, the boss opened the door with a satisfied expression, and suddenly everyone squeezed in, and the middle-aged boss was crowded to push the store, what he just said was in vain!
Seeing this situation, the middle-aged boss hurriedly came to the counter, opened the cash box, and was ready to collect the money!
As soon as the long-awaited white-collar worker entered the door, he saw "Xun Qin Ji" placed in the center of the bookshelf, the most conspicuous lender in the entire bookstore.
didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly took four copies, two copies each for the first and second volumes of "Xun Qin Ji", he asked for one set himself, and the other set was for him to bring at the same time.
After taking it, the white-collar worker quickly came to the boss and began to pay, and the boss quickly helped him get change, because someone came to pay later.
"Hey, don't take so much from the people in front, just buy your own, you buy so much by yourself, what should we do with the ones behind?" A person in the back of the queue had very sharp eyes, and saw that a person took a lot of them at once, how could there be ten copies, he immediately became anxious, and shouted loudly, for fear that he would not be able to buy a game in vain.
