Chapter 41: The Door of the Bookstore

In winter, this is the time of agricultural slack, some people take advantage of the tired year to wander around the market, there are many rich sons with a stove in their hands, followed by not a lot of servants, walking on the street with great momentum.

This winter market is a little more prosperous and laid-back than the summer market.

Shen Qingqing found a good stall, spread a blue cloth underneath and placed a scarf, sweater and leather boots on it, the stall was very large, and it was very conspicuous in the market.

After a while, someone stepped forward and asked, "Sister, what are you selling?" ”

Shen Qingqing put down the scarf in his hand and said, "Big brother, I have a scarf, a sweater and these leather boots, they are all very warm items in winter, and I will not be afraid of freezing in winter when I buy them." ”

The eldest brother tucked his hands into his sleeves, wrapped his neck, and reached out to touch the leather boot.

The leather boots are soft and very strong.

"How many pairs are these?"

"Two dollars and a pair."

Shen Qingqing has tried his best to keep the price very low, and small profits and quick sales are the way to do business.

But I didn't think about it, the eldest brother put down the leather boots directly and shook his head: "Sister, your things are too expensive, I don't know how much I can buy to subsidize the family with two dollars of silver." With that, he left.

Shen Qingqing put the leather boots in place, very helpless, it was not that she asked for the price arbitrarily, but that the processing costs and raw materials were here, and she really had no choice.

After a while, several more people came to inquire, but they all thought it was expensive, and they didn't sell anything for two hours.1

Shen Qingqing sat on the blue cloth and couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, could it be that she really thought wrong about this money-making business?

With so much effort and so much hard work, is it going to be wasted?

Shen Qingqing couldn't help but look into the distance, only to see that the market was full of people, but a few shops were exceptionally prosperous.

She suddenly thought of an idea, the peasant people think that leather boots are expensive, and the rich people will not buy them if they feel that they are not of high grade, but this scholar is not very rich, but if he can afford such an expensive one, of course, he can also afford leather boots and scarves, why not sell this thing to those who read?

Thinking that Shen Qingqing put those things into the basket again, he walked for a while and walked to the door of the bookstore and set up a stall again.

There were people who read books in twos and threes, and they entered the bookstore with books in their hands, shaking their heads and discussing literature, without even looking at her.

Shen Qingqing thought that this was not a solution, and the aroma of wine was still afraid of the deep alley, so he couldn't help but put aside his face, coughed and shouted loudly: "This ...... This reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, of course, this road is to wear leather boots, and buy a pair of good leather boots in the cold winter road is not forgetting to treat yourself. ”

However, one or two scholars stopped, glanced at Shen Qingqing and then at the leather boots on his stall, shook their heads and went in without any response.

This is not afraid, Shen Qingqing also has a few taels of ink in his stomach, and his voice is a little lower, but his tone is more firm than before: "The three watches are bright, and the five watches are chickens, it is when the boy is studying." The black hair does not know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late. ”

Sure enough, when this verse was quoted, he was still a walking reader just now, and at this time he was watching from Shen Qingqing's stall.

I saw that this woman was wearing red clothes in the winter, which was extremely eye-catching, but she was not too hot, her clothes were clean and tidy, her skin was as white as snow, and her facial features were upright and she felt pleasing to the eye when she looked at it carefully.

These scholars are all people who play with ink, and when they saw Shen Qingqing like this, they couldn't help but answer: "Sister, it's really good that you can recite poems as a village woman." ”

"Brothers, you really don't know, these poems are what I learned from books, but some of the scarves and leather boots here are really made by me, my poems are so great that you just heard them in your hearts, if you buy my leather boots and scarves, they will warm your body."

This is a good statement, and it is very flattering to the hearts of readers.

A man dressed in blue satin, who looked like he was not bad for money, took out a tael of silver from his purse: "Yes, bring me a few of your leather boots and this scarf." If you don't rush at the good or bad of this thing, just at the good eloquence you just now, I will also cheer you on. ”

"Alas, there is a golden house in this book, I see, the book you read may not have a golden house, but you do have a golden house in your house." Shen Qingqing said while wrapping leather boots and scarves in kraft paper, making the reader next to him laugh.

After a while, most of the readers in the bookstore gathered in front of Shen Qingqing's stall, this scholar didn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt were, where would he care about two dollars of silver, and after a while, Shen Qingqing's business was very hot.

Lin Nan held a few books in his hand, rubbed his nose, his back was straight, the clothes on his body had been renewed by Aunt Lin for several layers of cotton, but he still felt cold on his body, this person did not exercise all year round, and there was no trace of fire on his body, and his thin body was wrapped in bloated clothes, and it looked like a zongzi from a distance.

When Lin Nan just wanted to step into the bookstore, he saw that there was a stall next to him that attracted everyone's attention, and he couldn't help but look inside, and saw that it was Shen Qingqing.

That Shen Qingqing only cared about counting the silver taels, and didn't find Lin Nan at all.

Another scholar bought a pair of leather boots, and after Shen Qingqing wrapped the leather boots, he smiled again: "I see that this eldest brother, your temperament is quite upright, like a green pine on the mountain, this leather boot is exactly what lins you." ”

The scholar was so satisfied with what he said that his mouth was hooked to the sky, and another person said, "Sister, I want a scarf." ”

The man knew Lin Nan and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder: "This eldest sister is very interesting, and the scarves and leather boots she sells are also of good quality, otherwise you should buy one too." ”

"I, Lin Nan, am a good scholar, why should I be entangled with this kind of shrew."

This sentence attracted Shen Qingqing's attention, and he looked up and saw that it was Lin Nan who didn't want to care, but he didn't expect that Lin Nan had his own selfishness.

Most of the people who bought things were his classmates, Lin Nan was very famous in the village, but he was a mediocre talent in the school full of talents, and he had always been like a transparent person, looking at most of these classmates, he was full of praise for Shen Qingqing, and suddenly he had a sense of superiority, and his waist was even straighter.

"As the saying goes, you can't see through people's faces, don't look at this girl's sharp teeth but don't know what dirty things she did, she pestered me when she was in the village, and she ran to the school before." After saying that, he still touched his sideburns, looking how good he was.

The people next to him were all stunned, looked at Shen Qingqing, and then looked at him.

This lively reader has always been my favorite, Lin Nan looked at everyone's eyes on his own body and couldn't help but show up: "You don't know that this woman is a widow, and she has fallen in love with me without a man, she doesn't know a single word, I Lin Nan is a scholar, but I will be the champion in the future, how can I be with him." ”

"Lin Nan, you're enough." Shen Qingqing lowered her head and said, without even looking at him.

When she said this, Lin Nan was even more energetic, and she spoke extremely rudely: "What's the matter? Don't you dare admit it? Did I wronged you for what you pestered me before? ”

Shen Qingqing smiled, showing her white teeth and responding to Bai Xue next to her was very wonderful: "What you said is right, you really didn't wronged me, but that was all before, didn't your master teach you that the past is like smoke and let it pass?" You've been struggling with the previous things, or do you mean that you miss me? ”

When a sentence was spoken, everyone next to him laughed.

Lin Nan didn't expect that a village woman who couldn't read big words would say such words, and suddenly became angry and anxious: "What's the matter? You can't pester me in the village, you went to the school to pester me and was kicked out by the master, and now you still pester me in the bookstore? I tell you I will never marry you in my life. ”

This is a very high self-esteem. The voice fell, but no one spoke.

Shen Qingqing tilted his head, with a smile on his face, and Lin Nan suddenly had a feeling of punching the cotton.

And the readers next to him are also sensible, and they suddenly understood something, this Lin Nan came to find a sense of superiority because he had nothing to do, but this girl didn't care about him.

And after a while, Shen Qingqing continued: "Big brothers, don't underestimate this scarf, this scarf is woven from wool one by one, there is a saying that everything can be achieved with perseverance, I think this scarf is exactly the same thing."

These words are very much in line with the taste of readers, and after a while, Shen Qingqing's business became hot again, and no one bothered Lin Nan.

Lin Nan knew that he had lost face, standing on the outermost side, his hands clenched as if they were fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you Shen Qingqing, I actually lost such a big face today, see how I get it back from you in the future." With that, he left angrily.
