However, it was said that as soon as the latest issue of "Love Reading Poetry Magazine" came out, sales were in full swing. However, Lu Dongchen didn't care too much about this. Because today there is an important thing that has been planned, and that is to buy an air conditioner.

With Lu Jiaqi, at the stall on the side of the road downstairs, I had a simple breakfast, got on the bus, and went straight to the center of the county.

There is an electrical appliance mall in the center of the county, which is a concentration of electrical appliances sold in W County, a street is not long, and the stores on both sides are all selling all kinds of household appliances, mobile phones and other electronic products, or maintaining household appliances and mobile phones.

Lu Dongchen took a general look, picked the first store at the intersection and walked in. The owner of this shop sells air conditioners, with a large façade and conspicuous signboards, and there are many people who choose electrical appliances inside. It's late June, and it's already starting to get hot, but it's not yet the hottest time, and the business of air conditioning sales is the hottest during this time.

"Young man, do you want to buy an air conditioner or a refrigerator?"

A middle-aged man in his forties was busy introducing products to customers in the store, and when he saw Lu Dongchen entering the door, he greeted him warmly. This person is the owner of this shop.

"I'm going to buy an air conditioner, I'll take a look around first, boss, you're busy with yours first." ”

The store covers an area of about 500 square meters and is filled with a variety of home appliances, mainly air conditioners. There are hanging types, vertical types, long and square, all of which are brand new and brand-new, which suddenly made Lu Dongchen picky, and he plans to take a look before deciding which one to buy.

There are also two groups of guests inside, who are consulting about the performance of air conditioning, price or something. Seeing Lu Dongchen answer like this, the boss didn't say anything anymore and was busy dealing with other guests.

This one is four thousand eight, this one is five thousand six, and that one is eight thousand eight...... Lu Dongchen watched as he walked. Basically, the hanging air conditioner is slightly cheaper, around four or five thousand, while the vertical air conditioner is more expensive, basically at seven or eight thousand, and there are some latest models, and the cylindrical one even costs one or two thousand. Of course, central air conditioning is more expensive, but that is not what Lu Dongchen has to consider.

Lu Dongchen was carrying the 10,000 manuscript fee on the card he had just arrived last night, and he originally planned to install a wall-mounted air conditioner in the bedroom first, and Lu Jiaqi slept in that room every day. The living room is connected to the kitchen, the space is larger, if you want to install, it is estimated that you need to install a high-power, vertical air conditioner.

Looking at the price of vertical air conditioners, he dismissed the idea. First spend four or five thousand to install one for Lu Jiaqi's house, and the living room where his code words are located, don't install it for the time being, and then insist on it.

Lu Dongchen looked at it and thought in his heart. At this time, the mobile phone in the pocket rang, an unfamiliar number.

Lu Dongchen took out his mobile phone, the mobile phone has been used for two or three years, it looks a little worn, and it is time to eliminate it. But fortunately, everything functions normally, except for a little stuck.

Who is this number, few people call themselves on weekdays. In this world, except for his daughter, he can be said to have no relatives and no reason.

"Hey, hello, is this Mr. Lu Dongchen? Are you home?"

It turned out to be a courier guy.

Lu Dongchen remembered that he seemed to love reading poetry magazines and told him that after the work was published, he would mail him two sets of sample magazines. By the way, it happens to be Monday.

"Oh, I'll be here in the Appliance City, I'm not at home, or you ...... in the afternoon"

"Where are you in the home appliance city, it just so happens that I am also nearby, and I haven't gone to your area yet. ”

Lu Dongchen told the courier brother his location, and the courier brother was also quick, and after five minutes of replying, he hung up the phone.

"Young man, which air conditioner is in the photo?" When Lu Dongchen hung up his mobile phone, he turned around and found that the middle-aged boss was behind him, and the two groups of guests had already passed by just now, and now he was the only one left in the store.

"Boss, you have such a big store, you are alone, how can you be busy. Lu Dongchen didn't directly say which one he liked.

"Alas, don't mention it. Recently, it was too hot, and I came to buy air conditioners. The clerks and workers in my store all installed air conditioners for the buyers, and even my dad went to help. The middle-aged boss wiped his sweat while complaining about his bitterness. Although the air conditioning was turned on in the store, only one person was watching the store, and he was tired enough to choke after receiving customers.

After reading a circle, Lu Dongchen also counted it in his heart, and picked a Haida brand, hanging air conditioner, and the price in the store was 5500 yuan. After the discount, sell for 5,000 pieces. Lu Dongchen bargained for a long time, and the boss only agreed to be 200 yuan cheaper, and the price was 4,800 yuan. said that it was already the cost price, and if you lowered it, you would post the money.

Lu Dongchen knew that this price was definitely not a cost price, but he was originally an otaku and lacked bargaining experience.

After grinding his mouth for a long time, Lu Dongchen lost his patience anymore, and waited to go back to code words.

"Okay, four thousand eight is four thousand eight. Hurry up and install it for me, and I'll pay with my card. ”

"This, young man, didn't I tell you just now?" the middle-aged boss was a little embarrassed, "The air conditioner is selling very hot these days, and our installation workers are too busy, and we have to queue up to install it, and we have to wait until three days later." ”

I'll take your lungs and buy you an air conditioner, but I actually have to wait three days before I can install it, Lu Dongchen really lost his patience, picked up Lu Jiaqi and walked out. This W county is big, and it's not your family that sells air conditioners. It can't be discounted, and it can't be installed now. Lu Dongchen didn't want to, let Lu Jiaqi blow the fan for three more days.

"Hey, young man, I'm not lying to you! As I said just now, all the clerks in my store have gone to install air conditioners for customers, and even my dad has gone to help.

Besides, although there are many shops on this street, there are only three that mainly sell air conditioners. My store has the largest business and the largest number of workers, and the other two stores are the same, and I have to queue up to install air conditioning. Why did those two groups of guests buy them at my house just now?"

When the middle-aged boss said this, he also showed Lu Dongchen the receipt he had just opened: "No, the receipt says that the installation appointment will be in three days." Why did they buy it at my house just now? They also went to other stores, but they were not as fast as my store, and some stores had to queue up for a week. ”

Lu Dongchen just walked to the door, and a courier brother walked in head-on: "Who is Lu Dongchen, who is Lu Dongchen, there is a courier!"

"I am!"

"May I ask if your mobile phone number is XXX?"

After confirming Lu Dongchen's identity, the courier brother asked him to sign it, and then handed over the courier to him.

This is my first work, and it is worth remembering, even though I am just a porter of words.

Lu Dongchen was a little excited, and opened the express package, and when he saw it, it was indeed a sample of the hardcover edition of the 619th issue of "Love Reading Poetry Magazine".

"Ahh His eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Dongchen's face for a while, and looked at the book in Lu Dongchen's hand for a while.

What are you doing? Isn't it that I love to read poetry magazines in China, and everyone reads them? What does the boss's expression mean? Haven't I ever seen the hardcover version? No, with such a big face, he should be regarded as a rich man. I don't even have 50 yuan to buy the hardcover version.

Thinking of this, Lu Dongchen subconsciously turned to the last page to see the pricing.

It's weird, there's no pricing. When I looked at it in the barbershop that day, it was clearly written that the price was 50 yuan.

"You, young man...... Are you a writer?" asked the middle-aged boss, uncertain.

"No, I'm not!" Lu Dongchen subconsciously shook his head and denied it. Although he does plan to take codewords as a career, but, in his previous life on the earth, the society was generally prejudiced against the online novel industry, thinking that young people don't go out to find a serious job, and coding words at home is not a serious business, so many writers dare not claim to write online novels to the outside world.

"Then where did you get the book in your hand? This is a special gift for the author of the poetry magazine, there are only 20 sets per issue, limited edition!"

Following the direction of the middle-aged boss's finger, Lu Dongchen was in the corner of the cover, and sure enough, he saw three red words written "not for sale" in a small circle. Underneath is also written "Limited Edition, No. 19" and another is written "Limited Edition, No. 20".

"Oh, it's a friend of mine. He went out on a trip these days, and there was no one at home, so the address was sent to me and asked me to help collect it. Lu Dongchen secretly admired himself, since he started writing novels, the level of this lie has been rising day by day, and it is quite reasonable to come when he opens his mouth.

"Oh, that's right!" the boss was a little disappointed, "yes, I think you are so young, it is impossible for you to publish your works in the poetry magazine, it will take decades of accumulation." ”

"Okay, goodbye!" As soon as Lu Dongchen took the book, he didn't waste any time, and went to another store to take a look. Just now, I looked at the look of the middle-aged boss, and said that other stores have to queue up to install air conditioners, which is not like a lie. But Lu Dongchen still wanted to try his luck.

"Hey~hey~hey~ young man!" The middle-aged boss ran over and pulled Lu Dongchen's arm, "Don't go!"
