"Why are you doing this?" Bai Haoyu was very strange. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's still a secret, let's sell it. Chu Ziyan picked up the teacup on the table again, took a sip, and then said, "If anyone can understand it, then I won't be able to make money." ”

"You're short on money?"

Chu Ziyan shook her head and said, "I'm not very lacking, but no one will dislike a lot of money." White shopkeeper, the one hundred taels of silver you invested, within half a year, I will make it multiply several times. ”

"I'm curious. ”

"If you're curious, please come to the bookstore early tomorrow morning. ”

"Good. ”

On the afternoon of June 28, a notice was posted outside the bookstore on the street. The above roughly means that you can read books for free when you come to the store tomorrow, and you can even take them home, as long as you return them within three days.

As soon as the news spread, many people in the vicinity came over. Most of them are young juzi, and there are also small jasper families raised at home.

Early in the morning of June 29, when people arrived, they found out that this was really the case.

The owner of the bookstore is surnamed Chu, a stingy person, who looks at the counter happily as if he has picked up money today.

In front of the counter stood a little boy, dressed in a royal blue cloud brocade with a pattern of auspicious clouds embroidered with silver thread. He also wore a small jade crown on his head, and the whole person looked extravagant.

The little boy saw that there were already a lot of people coming, so he stood at the door and said, "Little brother Chu Yuzhao is a cousin of the Bai family, a big family in Jiangnan, and he has some small money in the family. My father's greatest admiration in his life was the scholars, but there were not many scholars in the family for several generations.

My father deeply regretted it, so he wanted to do something for the world's scholars. However, the money is limited, so I can't do much of it. The younger brother has just arrived in Guibaodi, bought this bookstore, and wants to make friends with you. Books in the bookstore are free to read.

Refreshments can also be served at noon on the second floor, so if someone is hungry, they can fill their hunger. ”

"Is this also free?" someone in the crowd asked.

However, the eyes of the people around him immediately shot like knives. "Read more books for free, you still want people to provide you with food, you still have to be shameless. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

"The snacks are also free, but they are limited to 66 pieces a day. And you can only eat it in the bookstore, you can't take it out. ”

When everyone heard this, they exclaimed in unison: "Great." ”

"And what if someone wants to take the book back and read it?"

The little boy said: "Then you need to pay a certain deposit, and you will return it within three days, and other people will also have to look at it." ”

"How much is the deposit?"

The little boy's index finger curled up at the base of his thumb, and the other three fingers stretched out, saying, "It takes three taels of silver." If you pay back the deposit within three days, the deposit will be refunded to you immediately. ”

"What if you want to borrow a book and take it back to read?"

"A book costs three taels of silver, and you can read it for free for three days. ”

"What if it's more than three days?"

"Then please come over and continue, continue to watch, in short, no money. ”

After the little boy finished speaking, the people below immediately began to whisper.

"It's a good deal, I used to have to pay two taels of silver for a book, and I don't need it after reading it. Now, you can call for three taels of silver and take the book home to read. ”

Someone else asked, "What if I only look inside, do I still need to pay a deposit?"

"No, no. ”

After several questions and answers, the crowd erupted in applause several times.

And they all went in and began to look for books. There are others, it has already been, but because of the problem of silver, I am reluctant to buy it, and now it is easy to read it for free, and I immediately paid three taels of silver, and I want to take the book back to read, and I am ready to return it after reading it.

The area on the first floor is not large, six meters long and five meters wide, and there are more than a dozen bookshelves, all of which are full. On the second floor, it is also the same size, but there are few things on the second floor, there are only six tables, and there are very few people who can sit.

Therefore, many people choose to pay a deposit of three taels of silver and then take it back to see. The newly recruited guys were a little too busy, and the boss over there was stunned for a moment.

He had never seen so many people, with books and silver, lining up to pay money. At this moment, less than a stick of incense had already collected a deposit of six hundred taels of silver. And that's not counting the people who are reading books on the second floor and picking up books on the first floor.

And when several people went out with the books, they were still saying that he was going to call his relatives and friends over to read the books.

When it was noon, a lot of people rushed to hear the wind. There was no place to stand on the second floor, so people had to take it back and look at it.

Moreover, noon happens to be a meal. Sure enough, there were a lot of refreshments.

Someone looked at the words written on the wrapping paper on the snack and read it out: "Yuxiangzhai?"

"Where's Mikasai?" someone around immediately asked.

"Oh, it's not far, across the street, half a tea walk away. ”

Someone took a bite and said, "It's delicious." ”

"yes, yes. I have an almond flavor. ”

"I'm stuffed with peanuts and sesame seeds. ”

"I still have meat in this. ”

Because it's free, and refreshments do work. So everyone was very satisfied with the refreshments that came up, and they all said that they wanted to buy some and eat them back. For a while, the people on the second floor began to read, drink, tea and chat, and they were so uncomfortable.

Some people go back after refreshments and are embarrassed to go empty-handed, so they borrow a book or two to read. Anyway, a book has a deposit of three taels of silver, and two books are six taels.

In the afternoon, another group of people came, and they also borrowed a lot of books, and there were still so many people on the second floor.

Chu Ziyan and Bai Haoyu have been sitting opposite each other, watching the people in the bookstore come and go.

"I now know why you're here. Bai Haoyu said: "Yuxiangzhai seems to be a newly opened shop, and it is also opened by your brother Chu Yuzhe. That's why you're so generous with snacks, aren't you?"

Chu Ziyan smiled and said, "I'll help him publicize it." There are so many century-old shops around, a newly opened dim sum shop, where can there be so much business. I have done a lot of it before, and now I can send it over, and I can still get a word of praise from others.

Why not. If you can see it so easily, it's not fun, so let's see it in a few days. ”

"Then what do you rely on to make money? Could it really be that you really want to do good deeds?" Bai Haoyu was a little skeptical.

Chu Ziyan smiled slyly and said, "What do you say?"

"I can't guess. ”

"Let's go, let's go over and see how we get today. ”

"Good. ”

The two of them arrived at the counter of the bookstore and found that at noon today, the deposit had already been 1,500 taels of silver.

"It's exactly fifteen hundred taels, boss, you can take it. Chu Ziyan said: "Let's go to the yamen to sign a transfer document." ”

The boss looked at today's posture and said busily: "Little boy, you are amazing, you can collect so much money." ”

"If you have money, everyone earns it, and you go and buy some books. Let people think that the books in our store are the most complete, and that's good. ”

"Okay, no problem, no problem. (To be continued.) )
