Bookstore Street, a very straightforward name, because the shops on both sides of this street are really only bookstores, Kong Yingda looked at the bustling crowd and was a little incredulous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Huangzhou, Shannan, is not a place where the literary style is prosperous, nor is it a place where the big families gather, let alone a famous city, there will be many students and scholars gathered, why is the bookstore so prosperous?

"It's useless to just think about it, it's better to find out."

Xiao Yu, who was traveling with him, knew Kong Yingda's question, and when he first came to this bookstore street in Xiyang City, he also felt strange, Xiyang City is not a famous city such as Jiangling, let alone a prosperous Chinese culture, but there is such a thriving book business.

There are not only many people at the door of the bookstore, but also many cars, boxes of books are loaded and pulled away, and then there are empty cars coming to stop and continue to load books and pull away.

"Do you want to buy books?"

"Uh, look, look."

"Please, Lao Li, there is a guest!"

"Ah, shopkeeper, I'll just take a look."

Kong Yingda had never seen such an enthusiastic bookseller, and he didn't plan to buy a book today, so he was worried that the store would be happy, but the other party didn't care, and enthusiastically pulled him in to "take a look at random".

It's hard to see this, Kong Yingda sat on the street seat, looked at the dense titles on the book list, and looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief: "This... Are there really so many books? ”

"Brother Kong can ask the store, this bookstore is not opened by the younger brother."

"I'm afraid... If you open your mouth, you have to ask for a deposit..."

"Then don't use it, most of the books in Xiyang City bookstore are in stock, and the books listed on the book list, even if you can't get it now, as long as the quantity is not too much, it will definitely be delivered within three days, if you don't want this book, the bookstore will be able to sell it soon, so there is no need for a deposit."

"So easy to sell? These books are available elsewhere, so why bother... Of course, this kind of thread-bound book is really ingenious. ”

"Brother Kong, the younger brother has already said that even if you can't get the books on the book list now, no matter how many they are, they will definitely be delivered within three days." Xiao Yu emphasized again.

"You mean 'publishing'?"

"This Lang Jun can say yes!" The guy stepped forward with a smile, "The advantages of this store are that the quantity is large and the price is cheap. ”

Kong Yingda wanted to ask how cheap it was, but after all, he was thin-skinned and couldn't do anything without asking for a price, and seeing that many people in the bookstore were bargaining with the guys, he arched his hand in embarrassment.

"Thank you store, I'm really just coming to see."

"It's okay, if Lang Jun is interested, come to the shop at any time to have a look."

Kong Yingda dragged Xiao Yu away, and saw the rows of bookstores along the way, he decided to go directly to the "Study Club" to find out, he didn't quite understand what "No. 2 Pick Up No. 3 on Bookstore Street" meant, but the Study Club was easy to find, because Xiao Yu knew where it was.

"It turns out that Brother Xiao knows about the study club, why didn't he say it earlier?"

"Brother Kong didn't ask, the younger brother thought that Brother Kong was here to visit the bookstore."

What Xiao Yu said was very reasonable, Kong Yingda was speechless, when he came out to meet Xiao Yu today, he really only said that he was walking on the bookstore street.

The guys in the school club were as enthusiastic as the previous bookstore, and Kong Yingda, who was thin-skinned, didn't know how to open his mouth, and asked what "publishing" was.

"This Lang Jun is here for admiration, right?"

"Ah, yes, when I first arrived in Xiyang, I heard that the school club... Publishing books, so let's take a look, what is publishing? ”

The man knew that he was a reader who had come to find out what "publishing" was, and he had to answer the same questions every day, so he had nothing to say, but the other young man seemed to be a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Good teacher Lang Jun knows that the so-called publishing is engraving printing, which is different from handcopying."

"Block printing? Engraving... Stamp... Brush..."

"Exactly, the small one is just such a demonstration, and Lang Jun just looks at it."

The guy brought a wooden board, brush, ink and a piece of paper from the counter, Kong Yingda took the board, and saw that there were words engraved on it, to be exact, anti-characters.

He seemed to understand something, but he was still a little bit close to grasping the point, when he saw the fellow dip the brush in ink, brush it on the board a few times, and then cover the white paper.

I brushed the back of the white paper several times with a clean brush, and then peeled off the white paper, only to see a lot of handwriting printed on the white paper.

"Lang Jun, please see, this is printing."

"I see! It's a bit similar to rubbing! ”

Kong Yingda's shooting was amazing, and the man's demonstration made him understand straightforwardly what "printing" is, what is "brushing", and what "publishing" is is about to come out.

"Thank you, it's just... Just such a demonstration, wouldn't it be a demonstration of your store... Secrets leaked? ”

"This Lang Jun has been thinking a lot, the art of engraving and printing has been mastered by all bookstores, and it is impossible to prevent it." The guy didn't care at all, "It's not a secret, Jiankang has already started to print books like this, but booksellers still come to Xiyang to buy books." ”

"Why?" Kong Yingda said it, feeling a little rude, presumably this is the secret of the bookstore's profit, it is a little inappropriate for him to ask like this.

"Lang Jun, this store, and other bookstores in Xiyang, the reason why so many booksellers come to buy books is that the quantity is large, but the price is cheap, and the booksellers buy books from Xiyang and ship them to Jiankang, and the price is still much cheaper than the books in Jiankang bookstore."

Kong Yingda was very surprised when he heard this, his family was still well-off, so there was no shortage of books, but he knew what a book meant for poor students, and the price of a manuscript was not something they could afford.

If books are really cheap, then, then how many people can...

He didn't take the liberty to ask why Xiyang's book could be so cheap, and arched his hand to express his gratitude to the guy's demonstration.

Now that he is here, and people are so enthusiastic, Kong Yingda feels that it is unreasonable not to buy some books, so he can't help but gasp when he takes the book to read: the titles of the books are dense, and there are obviously many more than the previous one.

"Do you have all the books on this list?"

"Most of them are out of stock, and if Lang Jun wants to buy books, he has to wait for two days after ordering a book list."

"Why?"

"The inventory has been sold out, and the book handed over today was agreed upon by the customer two days ago."

"It's so easy to sell!"

"Yes, the books that are bound every day in our store will be packed and shipped out the next day, of course, if Lang Jun can't wait, other bookstores also have them."

"Then this complete set of "Hualin Wandering"..."

"Hualin Quanluo" is out of stock today, if Lang Jun wants it, as long as there are no more than ten sets, it will be delivered in five days."

"Five days? The full set is hundreds of volumes... Ben! Kong Yingda couldn't hide the shock in her heart, such a speed of "publishing" was simply incredible.

"Lang Jun, the main work of this store is "Hualin Through", and now many sets are in the binding, and the printing speed is incomparable to other stores, after all, there must be a full set of engravings, which is tens of thousands."

Kong Yingda's mouth was closed, and she didn't know what to say, but Xiao Yu had a look of "I knew you would have such an expression".

"This Lang Jun, it seems that he is from the north when he listens to the accent?"

The guy receives merchants from the north and south every day, and his ability to distinguish accents is not small.

"It's true that it's a northerner."

"I wonder if the books Lang Jun bought will be sent back to his hometown? If so, there is no need to be so troublesome, our store has opened a branch in Yecheng this month, and Lang Jun's relatives and friends can visit Yecheng. ”

"Your store is also printing books in Yecheng?"

"Yes and no, ordinary books are printed in Yecheng, but books such as "Hualin Everywhere" are printed in Xiyang and shipped to the Yecheng branch for sale, of course, the branch also accepts pre-order books."

Hearing this, Kong Yingda's only thought was to quickly write a letter, asking his father and relatives and friends to send someone to Yecheng to take a look, he chose a few books on the book list, and was about to pay the money, but saw several people walking in at the door.

Xiao Yu saw the person who came, and hurriedly saluted: "Uncle... Brother-in-law! (To be continued.) )
