I went straight to the largest bookstore in Kyoto and went to Shuichi Minamino and Yumi Oshima, although I bought Takeshita Kusaoke's new book "Destiny", but I didn't buy the most longed-for "Snow Country", after all, I already had a preconceived evaluation of how good it was, so as to promote the more and more longing in my heart to take a look.

After they bought the book "Destiny", they were told by the clerk that there were less than ten copies left in the bookstore, which further greatly stimulated the two of them to buy the book "Snow Country". After all, almost unanimously saying that "Snowpiercer" is much better than "Destiny". "Snow Country" is not only one of the representative works of Takeshita Kusake, but also a representative work of aestheticism.

This effect is just like Mo Yan's "Frog" and Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem". When the former did not win the Nobel Prize for Literature, and the latter did not win the Hugo Award, how many people knew about them and their works. Once this won the grand prize, it was amplified by various media like a ripple effect, which prompted people's curiosity to be born. Even people who don't like to read much on weekdays should catch up with a fashion, and want to see how well the content in the book is written, and where is it?

The clerk in the bookstore told them that if they wanted, the best way was to make a reservation. Of course, before the two of them, there were many people who paid for the reservation. As for the waiting time, it can be as fast as 10 days and half a month, while as slow it will take 1 or 2 months. When the books arrived, they would call on a first-come, first-served basis to inform them to pick up the goods.

Feeling that the waiting time was too long, Shuichi Minamino and Yumi Oshima had to leave this bookstore with great regret, and instead went to some bookstores in a slightly more remote area to try their luck. They all know that the largest bookstore in the city does not have a book "Snow Country". Then the small bookstore is even more minor.

Shuichi Minamino and Yumi Oshima, who ran to three bookstores in a row, still haven't bought the book "Snow Country". Two of these bookstores were asked too much, so they simply wrote Takeshita Grass Mustard's "Snow Country" in eye-catching red letters directly on the public notice board at the gate. As for when it will arrive, even they don't know.

At present, bookstores of all sizes across the country have not only blown up the phone numbers of the sales department and sales staff of the mustard hui publishing house, but also many bookstores have also sent special personnel to visit in person to ask for spots. And that's not all. The relevant person in charge of the printing house under the mustard publishing house was also surrounded and intercepted by these people, and he was not at peace. People in the industry know that they are not robbing books at all, but grabbing money.

"Forget it, otherwise, let's go home separately!" Yumi Oshima, who ran four bookstores before and after, really felt tired on her body, and thought about giving up.

"Now that we've come here. Then you might as well hold on a little longer. I know that there is another bookstore in front of it, which is not only not very well decorated, but also has a small scale, and it is also open in a corner at the end of the street. If there isn't any, it's not too late for you to go home. As for the rest of the bookstores I haven't visited, I'll check them out. Shuichi Minamino, who doesn't give up easily, not for herself, but also for her to buy the book "Snow Country" by Takeshita Kusaoke. Not even in the bookstore in front of me. Nor will it shake his resolve. Even if you are alone, you will have to run all the bookstores in Kyoto one after another before you die. Tomorrow. He'll come again...... Thus until you buy it.

Yumi Oshima, who nodded her head slightly, has given up in her heart. The reason why he still followed him was that he was slightly moved by his last sentence. When she arrived at the place, she walked into the bookstore and asked herself weakly: "Boss, do you have the book "Snow Country" by Takeshita Grass Mustard here?" I'm sure you don't have any of them here. Shuichi. Let's go! You take me out on the bus. ”

"Who told you that I don't have Takeshita Kusaokei here's Snow Country? As it happens, I have one more here. The owner of the small bookstore, who drooped his head and crossed his hands over his chest, was not at all polite and pushed her back directly.

Hearing this, Yumi Oshima was in good spirits. It's like a shot in the arm. I was glad that I listened to Shuichi Minamino and came to take a look. Otherwise, you'd have missed it. Excited that she didn't give up, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, her eyes began to stare at each other, and she said bluntly: "Boss, I bought it." ”

"I said, do you want to sell? Sorry, it's not for sale, it's not for sale. The owner of the small bookstore with a smile on his face didn't mean to play tricks on her.

"Since it is not for sale, then how do you say that it is? I think you're just lying, it's clear that you're not. Swindler. Yumi Oshima, who came out of breath, clearly felt that she was brushed by him.

couldn't help laughing, slowly walked to the small bookstore owner in front of the cash register table at the door, bent down and took out the book "Snow Country" from underneath, and held it in his hand and showed it in front of her, saying, "Look! The book is here, I didn't lie to you! ”

"If you don't sell it to me, you lie to me." The little temper is Yumi Oshima, who came up suddenly, and she is very unhappy.

Shuichi Minamino, who took the initiative to walk in front of her, bowed slightly to the owner of the small bookstore, and said quite convincingly: "Boss, to tell you the truth, we went to many bookstores in a row in order to be able to buy Mr. Takeshita Kusaokei's book "Snow Country". Not only did I feel really tired, but I also heard enough of the words that I was sold out and out of stock. I apologize to you for her momentary rudeness. You can tell that she is a big fan of Mr. Takeshita's works and is a big fan of him. I guess you should have kept this book for safekeeping. Since you don't sell it, can you let her flip it? ”

"For the sake of your good conversation, I can lend it to her." The owner of the small bookstore who put the book in his hand on the table of the cash register was completely looking at his face.

Yumi Oshima, who was full of excitement, took the book on her right hand and opened it with her left hand. A moment later, she came out loud with an "ah", her expression was shocked, her eyes stared straight at the first page she had opened, and her body seemed to be petrified. His open mouth didn't overlap at all.

It's very strange, and the unknown Nanno Shuichi took the book from her hand and looked at it, and repeated in surprise: "How is it possible, how can it be ......" (to be continued.) )
