Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Three Flavors Book House
Samadhi Bookstore, whose status is similar to the largest chain bookstore on the earth, Ye Chen was also surprised when he heard this name for the first time, and thought that the great writer he was most afraid of when he was studying in his previous life also appeared in this world, but fortunately, it was just a coincidence.
As the largest chain bookstore in the empire, although the area of the Three Flavors Book House is extremely wide, the location is relatively remote, which is also a major feature of all the Three Flavor Book Houses in the Empire.
For some reason, although the Holy Emperor did pay more attention to the development of economic and technological strength at the beginning, the Three Flavors Book House was a golden signboard appointed by the Holy Emperor, and the building was also very retro.
Far away, Ye Chen saw the huge signboard and landmark buildings of the Sanwei Book House, the pavilions and pavilions that are antique like ancient times, simple and atmospheric, said to be a bookstore, in fact, it is more like a garden full of books and ink rhyme, and there is even an artificial lake, the artificial lake is very large, the lake is planted with willows on both sides, whenever it is summer, the soft willow branches ripple slightly with the summer breeze, and the lake is full of lotuses, red and green, and there is a lake pavilion in the center of the lake.
At this moment, Ye Chen's eyes stayed on the small boat in the lake, holding a book in his hand, and only here are there so many readers, or the readers here are more like readers.
What's even more interesting is that the entire Sanwei Book House is not a whole, but is divided into three parts.
The ancients had a saying, which is a metaphor for the feelings of reading books by the predecessors, "Reading the scriptures tastes like rice, reading history tastes like food, and reading Zhuzi Baijia tastes like fermented food," and the three experiences are collectively called "three flavors".
The Sanwei Book House is exactly like this, but on this basis there are improvements, three parts, three buildings are placed in the shape of a zigzag, the first place is the book of Chinese classics, and the last one on the left and one right are all kinds of domestic modern books and foreign literature.
And the purpose of Ye Chen's trip is one of them, Ye Chen has been to the Sanwei Book House many times, so he is very familiar, in fact, basically all parents in the empire will bring their children to the Sanwei Book House, one is because of the strong reading atmosphere of the Three Flavor Book House, and the other is the particularity of the Three Flavor Book House.
It is rumored that since the Holy Emperor, all the princes and princesses of the royal family have studied at the Sanwei Book House since they were children, which can be said to be the place where the members of the royal family were enlightened.
Not to mention that the Holy Emperor took the lead, so the parents of the empire also wanted to be tainted with some heavenly luxury, and even many parents listed bringing their children to the Sanwei Book House as a compulsory course for educating their children.
After a while, Ye Chen came to his destination, as usual, there were many people who came to read and buy books, not to mention that today is Saturday, but the more people there are, the more people can know everyone's opinion of their new books.
Without wasting any time, Ye Chen came directly to the area of the latest publication, and at a glance, Ye Chen saw two obvious groups, one group had more people, and the other group had less.
Gazing at it, as Ye Chen expected, the place with a large number of people is the position where the suspenseful little prince Cheng Ji's new book "Concubine" in Qingyang City is placed on the shelf, looking at the long queue, there are at least dozens of people, Ye Chen has an intuitive feeling of Cheng Ji's popularity in Qingyang City for the first time.
"It seems that I still underestimate myself as a cheap senior. Seeing that there were only a dozen or so people in front of the bookshelf where his books were placed, Ye Chen thought silently in his heart.
From the situation here, Ye Chen can predict that other bookstores in Qingyang City will only be more unfavorable to him, after all, his "Da Vinci Code" lacks publicity, and Sanwei Bookstore is the most famous bookstore among all bookstores, and Sanwei Bookstore never conducts any publicity for anyone's books in the bookstore, relatively speaking, this is the most beneficial place for his own environment, which is also the reason why Ye Chen chose to come here.
Just as Ye Chen walked into the Sanwei Study, two people also walked in, a man and a woman, the woman was relatively young, looked in her twenties, had a beautiful appearance, and was holding a microphone in her hand.
The man, on the other hand, was older, with a beard and a huge camera on his shoulder, and followed closely behind the woman.
Ye Chen didn't know about this, and walked towards the small group of "himself", but because the two groups of people were too close, Ye Chen could still hear the voices of readers who came to buy "Concubine", including a man with glasses in his twenties, who said:
"Our suspenseful little prince in Qingyang City has finally come back to write a book, it's not easy! I still remember the first time I read his book was his "Ghost Eye", when I read it, I was scared a lot, I don't know if this book is good. ”
However, what made Ye Chen find it funny was the answer of another young inch-headed man who was almost in his twenties.
"Dude, believe me, it's definitely worth the price to buy this book, especially when you have a girlfriend, I remember that I just bought "Ghost Eye" and read it with my ex-girlfriend, but my ex-girlfriend was so scared that she immediately threw herself into my arms, I remember that I went to third base that night, and a blood was born, and since then, I have formed an indissoluble bond with Cheng Ji. ”
Ye Chen was speechless when he heard it, he didn't expect to meet such a funny character when he just came, and Ye Chen also knew for the first time that books had such a great effect, so he couldn't help but laugh.
Because the two sides were too close, although Ye Chen lowered his voice, he was still heard by the inch-headed man.
"What are you laughing at?" the inch-headed man had a bad look in his eyes.
"No, I just thought what you said was funny and humorous. Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Haha, even if you have an eye, humor is innate, and I've been humorous since I was a child. The inch-headed man was a little proud.
Ye Chen was speechless, it seemed that although the inch-headed man spoke a little funny, his temper was still good, but then Ye Chen found out that the inch-headed man was not only funny, but also a chatter.
"You're here to buy books?"
"Hmm. ”
"What books to buy?"
"The Da Vinci Code"
"Why are you buying this book, I've never heard of this book, buy "Auntie". ”
"I bought it and got a blood, and I heard that it was hung on the wall to ward off evil spirits and placed on the bedside for contraception. ”
"Hey, that's amazing, then I'll buy a copy and take a look. ”
Ye Chen just said it so casually, but he didn't expect the inch-headed man to really come out of the team and come over to Ye Chen.
At this moment, an unfamiliar female voice came.
"Hello, I'm a reporter from Asahi Daily, did you come to buy "Sister-in-law" before?"
Qin Rong is an intern reporter of one of the two largest newspapers and periodicals in Qingyang City, "Rising Daily", just graduated from university, returned to Qingyang City and was lucky to pass the interview to join "Rising Daily", although it is only an intern reporter, but everyone knows that for Qin Rong, who is young and a famous university, it will happen sooner or later.
Today, Qin Rong was arranged to come to Sanwei Bookstore to follow up on the sales of the city's suspenseful little prince Cheng Ji's new book "Auntie", this kind of thing is very simple, just go to the bookstore to ask readers who come to buy books, but this is not the case for Qin Rong, because Qin Rong is a fan of Cheng Ji.
However, what Qin Rong didn't expect was that Cheng Ji was worthy of being the suspenseful little prince of Qingyang City, Qin Rong came very early today, but there were already many readers in Sanwei Bookstore queuing up to buy books, and the careful Qin Rong found that most of the readers who came to buy Cheng Ji's new book "Auntie" were young people in their twenties, which was also one of the reasons for Cheng Ji's popularity.
Only young people can lead a trend, and it is easier to promote new things among them who pursue excitement, and the author of suspense novels like Cheng Ji is undoubtedly very appetizing to young people.
Qin Rong casually found someone in the queue to ask.
This is a hipster who looks "funny", why is he said to be a hipster?
A pair of red and green harem pants, a T-shirt with a skull printed on it, a shaved green airplane head on his head, a pair of colorful casual shoes that look like a boat on his feet, a nose stud on his face, chewing gum in his mouth, and blowing a few bubbles from time to time, look very frivolous.
Just found this person, Qin Rong regretted it a little in her heart, but since she had found it, Qin Rong had no choice but to make a mistake.
"Hello, I'm Qin Rong, an intern reporter at Asahi Daily, and I'm doing an interview right now, can I ask you some questions?" Qin Rong held the microphone in her hand, followed by a technician carrying a camera.
The tide man was startled by the voice coming from behind him, and when he turned around, he still had anger on his face, but after seeing Qin Rong holding the microphone in his hand, and the person carrying the camera behind Qin Rong, he still didn't understand what was going on!
The anger on his face flashed away, and the tide man said with a look of surprise: "Are you a reporter from the "Rising Daily?Are you interviewing me?" Will I be on TV?"
Listening to the tide man open his mouth and get a series of questions, Qin Rong was a little stunned, when she was in the company, she always heard her seniors say that the job of a reporter is a job that can make people "broaden your horizons", and now think about the weird smiles on the faces of those seniors when they say this to themselves, the tide man in front of her is probably a vision.
"Yes, we're interviewing right now, but I'm sorry, our interview will have to be reviewed eventually, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be on TV, but even if I can't, I'll be in the newspaper. ”
"Oh, that's right, it's all right, then you ask, beauty!" the tide man was a little disappointed, but then he said with a grin.
Qin Rong frowned, the trendy man in front of her obviously had a street gangster-like tone, which instinctively made Qin Rong a little disliked, but out of professional requirements, Qin Rong still hid her dislike very well, but maintained a standard smile and asked:
"May I ask why you came to buy Cheng Ji's new book "Auntie"?"
Out of this dislike, Qin Rong asked bluntly, just wanting to end this interview quickly and find the next person.
"Me, I'm because I heard my buddies say that this author's book is very good, and many high school girls love to read this author's book, and it works very well. After speaking, the tide man winked at Qin Rong with a smile.
It has to be said that the same meaning is said by different people in different ways, and the results achieved are sometimes completely different things.
For example, the inch-headed man only made Ye Chen feel interesting, while the trendy man really made Qin Rong extremely unhappy.
At this moment, Qin Rong was very disgusted in her heart, this non-mainstream in front of her made Qin Rong feel a little disgusted, presumably the so-called buddies are just some street gangsters, and they don't buy books to read, but to scare those high school girls who take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the scum!
Thinking of this, Qin Rong just wanted to end this interview quickly.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation!"
After speaking, Qin Rong walked towards the front of the line, ready to find the next reader to be interviewed, the tide man laughed when he saw this, and whistled at Qin Rong.
Qin Rong pretended not to hear, but her steps sped up a little.
PS: I recommend a book "Chrono Future Technology", you can take a look at the book shortage.
