Chapter 50 Physical Books and Book Signings
This day is December 25, 2002, if it is more than ten years in the future, today will be lively, because it is Christmas in the West.
Chinese festivals in the West are still a little different, people are more not to celebrate, but just to have a lively time. Major merchants will hold special events on these days to promote their products.
But that's the way it will be in the future, and Christmas isn't very popular now.
Today is Saturday, Yang Ning and Shengnan have made an appointment to go shopping, and the final exam is about to be, and now it is the review stage, and the days are very tense every day, so they need a time to relax.
On Saturday, the two of them got in the car and went shopping in the city.
Yang Ning went to the bank first, and looked at her savings of a total of 20,000 yuan, which was the share of the novel "Qing Meng" she had written in the past few months, and she just had the mentality of giving it a try at first, but she didn't expect it to be so popular.
Although it ended half a month ago, there are still many new readers subscribing every day. I gave her a red a week ago!
Visible popularity. And she is in school, and this novel is also the main topic that students talk about, and only Yang Ning and Shengnan know it.
She took out two hundred and followed Katsuo to the skating rink, which was a newly developed venue by Katsuo, which was much more fun than the playground of the previous times.
Two girls wore skates with blades and had a lot of fun on the ice. When I fell and got up, I wasn't afraid of pain, and I kept playing.
I spent the morning at the ice rink, and at noon, the two of them found a place to eat a simple bowl of hot noodle soup.
Yang Ning took Katsuo to the city library. There weren't many people in the library at noon, but it was quiet enough.
The five-storey Municipal Library has a collection of more than 500,000 books in various categories. It is a place where book lovers gather.
The first floor is used to sell books, mostly novels, famous books, and teaching aids that people like. And the upper four layers do have a deeper level of study of the type of bibliography.
Yang Ning went up to the third floor with Shengnan, showed his library card to the front desk, and then went in.
A few days ago, Yang Ning got a library card for the convenience of reading books.
She let go of Katsunan's hand, went to the bookshelf to find the book on her own, took a copy of "Compendium of Materia Medica", and then accompanied Katsuo downstairs.
The two of them sat by the window on the first floor, which was far from the street, so the noise was very quiet.
Yang Ning held a book in his hand, studying the form and efficacy of various Chinese medicinal herbs. Since she found the herbs in the space and began to refine the special medicine, she thought that it would be good if these could be used in daily life to help people in need, because of the particularity of the space herbs, so she was studying how to find suitable alternatives, so she went to the library to borrow various ancient medical books.
The two of them stayed for more than an hour, and after Yang Ning registered, he took the book and dared to return to Qingcheng County before dark.
When I got home, Yang Ning put down my backpack, but now there is no one at home, and my parents have not gotten off work.
She looked at the clock, it was only four o'clock, and it was a little early to cook.
So I went to the study and turned on the computer, logged on to the blog, and answered the readers' questions. This is a blog opened by Yang Ning at the strong request of readers, and the people who follow it are die-hard fans of "Qing Meng", Yang Ning is especially grateful for their love, so he seriously answers their various brain questions about crossing every time.
Cat who loves fish: "Light dance is big, are you there?"
Yang Ning looked at the QQ message and replied with a typing in his hand.
Ning Qingwu: "Well, I just got home." ”
Cat who loves fish: "Haha, tell you, you're going to be on fire, as soon as the physical book of "Qingmeng" was launched two days ago, it was about to be sold out, and the readers' response was also very popular. Now it is the most popular book in Tianchao City, you are really great, we are now planning to work overtime to print it, and we plan to promote "Qing Meng" to the whole country. ”
Ning Qingwu: "Yes! That's good, thank you for your hard work, if it weren't for your hard work, "Qingmeng" wouldn't have been known to so many people." ”
Cat who loves fish: "Hehe, no thanks, that's where your strength lies, I have something I want to discuss with you, because the readers here are too enthusiastic, we want to hold a signing party for you in Tianchao City, I don't know if you can come!"
Yang Ning put his hand on the keyboard, and after thinking for a few minutes, he shook his head in distress.
Ning Qingwu: "Kitten, I'm sorry, I can't go, you know I'm just a student, writing novels is just a hobby of mine, and at the moment my more important task is college, I don't want to expose myself to others so early, then my life will be very distressed." ”
Cat who loves fish: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay, it's also that I didn't think about it, I didn't take into account that you're just a student." Haha, I really didn't expect the popularity of "Qingmeng", so I was a little anxious!"
Ning Qingwu: "That's it, since I can't go to the signing meeting, we can hold an online signing meeting, find a Saturday, you publish my blog on the website, I will open a post in it, and then readers can discuss it on the Internet, and I will also seriously reply to every interesting question." How?"
Cat who loves fish: "Eh~ You have a good idea, so I'll organize it first, and I'll tell you when the time is determined." Haha, I'll go first!"
Yang Ning closed the dialog box, exhaled, she looked out the window, the thin snow on the ground, full of ethereal world, and smiled happily. I didn't expect the physical book of the novel to be so popular. It seems that his efforts have not been in vain.
Once, in order to understand the history of the Qing Dynasty and avoid intellectual errors in the novel, she held a few thick texts of the Qing Dynasty and looked at the book while flipping through the dictionary. Nibbling on a book in the space every night and nibbling until late.
In order to enrich the content of the novel, she also read a lot of books of various genres nowadays, and there is everything.
Being able to have so much time to finish gnawing on it is also looking at the time difference of space, it seems that space is really her luck.
After replying to a few messages, she turned off her computer and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
At night, Yang Ning took the "Compendium of Materia Medica", entered the space, sat on a bamboo chair and began to read.
It has now turned from a green summer color to a white snow. There are also snowflakes on the ground, but the temperature in the space is not as cold as outside, and it is still the same temperature as summer, neither cold nor hot, which makes people very comfortable.
The next day, Yang Ning got up in the morning, went for a run, had breakfast, and packed up his things. I went to the sports center and started practicing sanda.
At noon, my mother was cooking at home, and as soon as she entered the door, took off her shoes, and walked to the living room to sit, she was attracted by a large box on the table.
When she walked in and saw that it was from the postal service, she asked her mother, "Mom, what's in this box?"
Mother Yang, who was in the kitchen, turned around, "I don't know, when I just came home at noon today, someone just sent it to me, and I saw your name on it, so I signed for it." ”
"yes, yes, really!"
Yang Ning took the scissors, cut the tape, opened the box, and looked at a book inside, which turned out to be the physical book of "Qing Meng", and she opened a card on the top.
The above is a cat who loves fish, written to her: light dance big, surprise or not, I will prepare it for you as soon as the book is printed, this is the website paid for you out of pocket.
Yang Ning smiled, took out the book, and put it neatly on the table, there were ten copies in total, she was thinking about who to give it to!
