Chapter 694: Superfluous Worries
Jace paced anxiously back and forth in front of Hugo's house with a look of urgency.
Today is the day when his brother sells new books, and he doesn't know if it will sell as well as he promised, and he must wait here for Hugo.
He wasn't worried that he wouldn't get his money back, in fact, the moment he lent the money, he didn't think about whether the money would come back.
The purpose of his stay here is to prevent his brother's new book from being able to accept this fact and doing something stupid once it is yellow again.
looked at the road, but still didn't see Hugo.
He felt more and more apprehensive.
He even felt like a father, his heartbreaking brother was a son who couldn't grow up and had to be guarded by himself at all times.
But he didn't have to wait long, and he saw Hugo walking on the road like a three-year-old child from a distance.
He has a problem, that is, when looking at things, he always thinks of the best and the worst extremes together, and when he sees such a scene, he can't help muttering: "Should he be so happy that he can't control his own book?"
After thinking about it, he muttered again: "Or maybe it sold very dismally and finally broke down and went crazy?" β
Thinking of the last possibility, his face turned white in a sudden, and it was too late for him to come, so he raised his foot and rushed towards him.
Hugo was still in the joy of being sold out, and he didn't realize that a man was rushing towards him like a mad cow.
"Hire another guy tomorrow and let him carry me a little more...... Well...... Lao Jie borrowed a little money from me, and if he prints a batch and sells it, he will almost be able to repay his money......"
Just as he was excitedly thinking about these things in his heart, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and it seemed that something was blocking his way forward.
He looked up in amazement, but before he could react, he slapped him twice loudly.
Passers-by hurriedly stopped and looked at them with a confused expression.
There was a burning pain on both cheeks, and tears were pumped out.
Hugo looked at Jace blankly and said, "Old Jay...... What are you...... I'll give you back the money, no need to beat someone! β
Seeing his reaction, Jace couldn't help but let out a long breath.
He once heard an old man say that in the face of a madman who has just fallen ill, it is enough to smoke a few loud mouthful melon seeds.
Although this kind of grass is a little inconsistent with the science Ye Feng said, from the current effect, it is still quite useful!
At this time, Hugo, who did not know that he was being regarded as a madman, was clubbed in place like a piece of wood.
If this were anyone, when they were about to arrive at the door, they would be slapped a few times loudly by a close friend for many years, and I believe they would freeze there and be at a loss.
"Hugo, it's great that you're okay, you didn't know what scared me just now, oops, my heart almost jumped out.
After a few minutes, Hugo finally learned the reason why he was pumped and was considered a madman.
"Old Jie, what do you mean by that? I'm not crazy, I'm happyβalas...... Don't run, you! β
Hugo picked up the flat shoulder and hurriedly chased after it, leaving only those passers-by with a hooded face.
β¦β¦
In the evening, the two of them celebrated the success of the first day of book sales, and went to one of the largest restaurants in the tribe and ordered the most sumptuous dinner.
"I didn't expect you to sell so many books on the first day!" Jace took a glass of wine and drank it down.
Hugo slowly and methodically sandwiched the dried tofu, as if thinking about something.
These dried tofu are a new product launched by Chu Yun after recording tofu, and once it was launched, it was highly praised by the foodies of the tribe.
Because it did not have many good conditions, its price remained high, so it was a very common ingredient in later generations, and it was not affordable for ordinary people in the tribe.
This is the first time Hugo has eaten this kind of thing, and he thinks it is very suitable for his taste, so don't eat a few more bites.
Seeing his thoughtful look, Jace hurriedly said, "I'm Lao Yu, shouldn't I be happy to make money?" What are you thinking? β
He couldn't understand how this happy thing just now seemed to have soared, and how it turned into this sad and bleak appearance in an instant.
"Now that I've thought about it calmly, I think there's a problem in selling books today!"
Hugo frowned, feeling bitter in his mouth, and only this dried bean curd could give him a comfort.
Hearing his words, Jace hurriedly put down his wine glass and hurriedly said, "What's the matterβit shouldn't be that everyone bought it because of your pity, right?" β
Hugo hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, that's the case, if that's the case, even if I make more money, I won't be happy like just now." β
"What's that?" Jace looked at him with blazing eyes, and the good mood just now suddenly vanished at this moment.
"I found out that there were two reasons why they didn't tell me, one was that my book was very cheap, and the other was my status as an author!"
When Jace heard what the reason was, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, and said, "What's this?" They buy it, and you make money! β
Hugo shook his head like a rattle: "What is the greatest value of my book?" It's not the paper price, it's not the labor price, it's what I wrote! β
"Contents?" Not only was Jace's face full of confusion, but he didn't know how many times he had heard him mention the contents of the book.
"I'm a rough farmer, I didn't know that what you said was so valuable."
Jace said this, thought for a moment, and then continued, "But I know that your worries are completely unnecessary. β
Hugo raised his chopsticks and was about to put a piece of dried tofu into his mouth, when he heard Jace's words and stopped suddenly, and the piece of dried tofu on the chopsticks fell into the other dishes.
He didn't care about this piece of dried tofu at this time, and said with an anxious face: "Lao Jie, then you can tell me quickly, why is my worry unnecessary?" β
Jace smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, listen to my analysis slowly!" Hugo hurriedly sat up straight, nodded and said, "You say, I'll listen!" β
"Ahem, that's the case, if you spend your hard-earned money to buy a fruit, but the fruit looks very ugly, will you not eat it and let it rot and spoil?"
Hugo hurriedly shook his head and said, "No matter how ugly it is, you have to eat it!" This is my hard-earned money, and it is not blowing in the wind! β
