In the early morning, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and there is a crisp birdsong from time to time on the branches of the trees on the street.

However, the entrance of the Meteor store at No. 119 Novel Street is dark and crowded, with three floors inside, three floors outside, and three floors in the middle. On the outermost sidewalk, there was also a queue of more than ten meters.

These people are all book lovers who come to buy books, and they want to buy the same book - "Detective Wang Nan".

"Don't squeeze everyone! Come one by one! Don't rob!"

"Auntie, don't pick it, it's all new books that just arrived!"

"This uncle, you haven't paid yet!"

……

At the door of Meteor Bookstore, Liu Xing, Liu Shiming, Liu's father and Liu's mother are in a hurry, dealing with waves of customers buying books. In the bookstore, Wang Lanlan and Xing Wanli rolled up their sleeves and were moving stacks of "Detective Wang Nan" to the door for sale.

Today is the first day of the sale of "Detective Wang Nan", and there are not enough people in the store, so Liu Xing called his parents, Wang Lanlan, and Xing Wanli to help. He thought that this should be about the same, but he never expected that he was still too naïve, and far underestimated the enthusiasm of book fans for the novel "Detective Wang Nan".

Early in the morning, hundreds of book lovers surrounded the bookstore, wanting to snap up "Detective Wang Nan", and the scene almost got out of control.

While hundreds of customers were frantically snapping up novels at the Meteor Bookstore, the Nirvana Book Bar next door was deserted, and after opening for a full hour, there was not a single customer.

People love to join in the fun, and many customers who were originally going to enter the Nirvana Bookstore ran over to find out when they saw so many people in the Meteor Bookstore.

Seeing that Meteor Bookstore had sold hundreds of novels, but he had not received any money, Cai Fugui held back the fire in his belly.

At this time, an old man suddenly walked into the rich book bar.

Finally seeing a customer, Cai Fugui hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, do you buy books?"

The old man waved his hand: "There are too many people in the bookstore next door, and the queue is tired, so I'll rest here for a while." ”

"......" Hearing him, Cai Fugui's face changed suddenly, he couldn't bear it anymore, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called the police.

A few minutes later, a police patrol car arrived, and as soon as a patrol officer got out of the car, Cai Fugui hurriedly stepped forward, pointed to the long queue at the entrance of the Meteor Bookstore, and said: "Comrade police, look at it, this is really too unusual, so many people are blocking the door of my book bar, my book bar can't do business!"

The patrol officer looked at the team that was rushing to buy books, and said: "Boss Cai, you understand, everyone is a reader, good books are hard to find, and it's normal to go crazy occasionally." ”

Cai Fugui frowned: "You police won't ignore it, right?"

"It's not that you don't care, it's that you don't care. It's a good thing that citizens are so enthusiastic about buying books, and you should think of it as contributing to the construction of spiritual civilization in the city. Okay, I'm already off work, and my niece asked me to help her buy a copy of "Detective Wang Nan", I have to hurry to the queue, otherwise the novel will be sold out in a while. ”

After saying that, the patrol officer turned around and joined the line at the door of the Meteor Bookstore, finishing last in line.

"......" Cai Fugui was so angry that his face changed, and he secretly scolded in his heart: This group of policemen is really not a thing! Take taxpayers' money, but don't help taxpayers, bastard!

Gritting his teeth and cursing a few words secretly, Cai Fugui hurriedly walked back to the book bar.

Out of sight, out of mind!

……

Ten hours later, night fell.

When the sun set over the western mountains, the customers at the door of the Meteor Bookstore also left one after another, because all the 10,000 copies of "Detective Wang Nan" in the bookstore had been sold out.

Although the customers are gone, Liu Xing still can't be idle, and there is a difficult task for him to complete - counting money.

A copy of "Detective Wang Nan" costs 35 yuan, and 10,000 copies have been sold today, with a total sales of 350,000. Among the 350,000 coins, many of them were five yuan, two yuan, one yuan, and five cents in change, and they were packed in two large cardboard boxes.

Liu Xing poured all the money in the two boxes on the floor of the bookstore, and then began to sort them out one by one, bundled each 100 sheets into a stack, and because of the very large workload, Liu Shiming and Wang Lanlan also came to help.

The three of them sat in a circle, swishing, and counting the bills together.

"I'm so tired!" At this time, Wang Lanlan, who had just finished counting a stack of one-yuan bills, pouted and said.

"Of course I'm tired of counting money. Liu Xing said while quickly counting a stack of two-dollar bills, "We've been counting for almost an hour, and my fingers are a little stiff." ”

Wang Lanlan said: "Counting money is tiring, and moving books is even more tiring." I've moved a lot of books today, and now my arm is so sore. ”

Liu Xing glanced at her white lotus-like arm: "Or, I'll rub it for you?"

"Don't!" Wang Lanlan's dark eyes rolled, "You can pay me some salary, you can't let me work for nothing." ”

"I don't think it's a salary, you already have a cut. ”

Wang Lanlan is the author of "Detective Wang Nan", and when these novels are sold, she can get a 15% of the sales fee.

"Liu Xing, you are really picky, you sold so many books today, and you don't even want to give a tip. Wang Lanlan pursed her lips and said, "No wonder people say that there are no traitors and no businessmen, you are a profiteer." ”

Liu Xing objected: "Nonsense, I definitely belong to an honest businessman." ”

Wang Lanlan said: "How can an honest businessman be so traitorous as you?"

"Who told you that an upright businessman can't be a traitor?" Liu Xing said, "I tell you, profiteers must be rape, and honest businessmen must be even more traitorous, otherwise, how can they fight profiteers?"

"......" Wang Lanlan.

Listening to the bickering between the two, Liu Shiming on the side couldn't help but smile slightly, and after counting another stack of money, she said: "Ah Xing, let's count this money here today, we have to go home for dinner." ”

Liu Xing touched his belly, he was indeed a little hungry, and then looked at the large pile of money on the floor, which was more than half a meter high, and it was estimated that it would be impossible to count in two hours, and he clapped his hands and said: "Okay, go home first, take this money back and let my father and mother count it." ”

After making their decision, the three of them moved the money on the floor back into a large cardboard box.

After a brief tidy-up, the three parted ways, Wang Lanlan went home alone, while Liu Xing and Liu Shiming took a large box of money and rode back to the hotel on a motorcycle.

……

"Dad!"

Walking into the hotel, Liu Xing saw his father wiping the table, put the cardboard box on the table, and said, "Dad, this box is handed over to you." ”

Father Liu looked at the big cardboard box and frowned: "What is this stuff?

"No, there's money in it. ”

"Money?"

Father Liu opened the cardboard box and was stunned for a moment, the box was indeed full of banknotes.

"My sister and I just counted the money in the bookstore, but we didn't finish counting it, and I left the rest of the money to you and my mother to count. Liu Xing stretched his waist, "I stink, go take a shower first." ”

Father Liu nodded: "Ming'er, don't be busy, go upstairs and rest for a while." ”

"Hmm. ”

After speaking, the two sisters and brothers went upstairs together.

Father Liu looked at the money in the cardboard box, turned his head, and shouted into the kitchen: "Wife, hurry up and help count the money!"

After a while, Liu's mother, who was wearing an apron, walked out and asked, "You don't know how to count yourself?"

Father Liu was not happy, and pointed to the cardboard box: "Come and take a look yourself, I can count all the money alone?"

……

It was late at night.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Liu's father and mother were sitting on the bed, but they were not resting, and they were busy counting money. In front of them, there was a large pile of change, and two old men were sorting it out one by one.

They had been counting in the hall on the first floor for more than an hour, but they still hadn't finished counting, so they had no choice but to work overtime tonight.

Although they work overtime, the two old people are enjoying it, and the work of counting money is not tired if they work overtime all night, after all, they are counting their own money.

"Old man, why do you say our family's Ah Xing is so lucky?" Liu Mu said with emotion while counting the banknotes.

More than a month ago, Liu Xing's dementia had just recovered, and after he came out, he first found a copy of "Book Tomb Notes" and went to the book testing center to earn 100,000 yuan. After that, when he was not optimistic at all, he miraculously got the right to operate Caiyun Bookstore. After the bookstore opened, Liu Xing closed the store for more than 30 days, and many people thought that the bookstore was going to close down, but he suddenly obtained the agency rights of "Detective Wang Nan", sold 10,000 copies at once, and earned nearly 100,000 yuan in one day.

In just one month, Liu Xing didn't seem to have done anything, but the situation of the Liu family has changed dramatically, and there is a faint unstoppable momentum, Liu's father and Liu's mother have not yet reacted, and they always feel that all this is incredible, like a dream.

"If the mountains don't turn around, maybe our Liu family will be transferred. Father Liu put down the banknotes in his hand, moved his fingers, and counted the banknotes for so long, showing signs of cramps. As he gets older, he doesn't have as much muscle as he does with young people.

After a while, Liu's father yawned: "Wife, let's count this money here today, and then tomorrow, I'm so sleepy." ”

"You dead old man, you dare to complain if you have money. ”

……

While his parents were busy counting the money, Liu Xing was also fighting for his goal, hiding in his room to read the martial arts novel "Dragon Babu".

He has read this novel many times, and the picture of "Dragon Babu" in his mind has been revised hundreds of times, and the matching degree of the novel has been increased to 80%!

There are very few people who can match more than 30% of the novel, and Liu Xing has now reached 80%, which should be unprecedented.

There was just one question that he couldn't figure out.

Ordinary people who read novels with a matching degree of more than 30% will obviously be affected by the novels. For example, Cai Zhijian, he matched "Goddess Strategy Diary" with a match of 34%, and after reading the novel, his temperament changed greatly and he became a beauty chaser.

Liu Xing has now raised the matching rate of "Dragon Babu" to 80%, but he found that he was not obviously influenced by the novel, and his behavior and habits or personality have not changed much, what is going on?

"Is there something wrong with my reading?"

The art of reading is profound, subtle, broad and rich, and the theories that Liu Xing has come into contact with are only the tip of the iceberg. In Wang Lanlan's home, there are more than 5,000 theoretical books on reading, covering dozens of fields such as psychology, thinking, iconography, aesthetics, linguistics, engineering, astronomy, and fiction.

Liu Xing roughly estimated that it would take at least fifty or sixty years to learn all these theories. According to Wang Lanlan, his grandfather Wang Tairan spent more than 70 years still learning.

In comparison, Liu Xing now has very few theories of reading, and it is not impossible for him to make some mistakes or negligence in the specific operation of reading.

"What went wrong?"

……

Two days later, Liu Xing continued to sell books in bookstores.

After finishing the bookstore, on the third day, he continued to go to the Blue Sky Community to learn the fascinating tutorial.

As for Wang Lanlan, she is still tossing her new book "Detective Wang Nan's Condor Book Coffin Strange Case". In order to write this novel, she continued to go out to collect materials, and went out early in the morning to go to the Yufeng Mountain Book Tomb for a field trip.

As a result, Liu Xing was the only one left in the suite in the Blue Sky Community, and he began to study the 94th volume of the "Engaging Advanced Course".

Click!

At around eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Xing suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, thinking that Wang Lanlan was back, and was about to ask her to order takeout. It's just that when he got up and walked to the living room, he was surprised to find that the person who opened the door was not Wang Lanlan, but an old man.

The old man was not tall with a black snake-shaped cane, his hair was gray, his weather-beaten face was carved with wrinkles left by the years, and his gentle eyes shone with kindness.

Liu Xing recognized it at a glance, this old man was Wang Lanlan's grandfather, Wang Tairan.
