Chapter VII. Leave a book on the wall.

Speaking of which, Xiao Mo originally planned to go out alone to look for opportunities, but I have to say that there must be someone by Xiao Mo's side. (Read the full text of the novel, as far as you can.1.) (1 text. Learn Net)\Bubble_Book_()Update Super Fast/

When he was still in the Xiao family before, Xiao Mo only felt that he was living in a cage. was disciplined by Liu and Xiao Shenyan all day long, without the slightest freedom at all.

But now that the Liu family is far away in Huanzhou, and Xiao Shenyan doesn't care about him anymore, Xiao Mo has been nesting in the small courtyard all day long, except for the first time when he came to Shanxian County, he swam around Shanxian a few times, and then rarely left the courtyard again, in addition to Xiao Mo himself has been studying and practicing hard during this time, there are also reasons for Xiao Mo's own lazy personality after everything is decided.

And the direct consequence of Xiao Mo's attitude is that if he wants to go out, because he doesn't know the way, he must also need Wang Jirui to lead the way.

On the contrary, Wang Jirui, because he often goes out to buy vegetables and cook, is very clear about the layout and roads of Shanxian County.

After leaving his small courtyard, Wang Jirui asked Xiao Mo, "Young Master, where are we going?" ”

Although Xiao Shenyan did not stipulate that Xiao Mo was not allowed to go out at will, this was the first time Xiao Mo had gone out without Xiao Shenyan's consent, so Wang Jirui's expression at this time looked quite nervous.

"Is there a bookstore in Shanxian County?"

Xiao Mo asked.

I don't know why Xiao Mo is doing this, but Wang Jirui still replied: "Yes, there are about three, all of which are in the west of the county. ”

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "Take me to the bookstore." ”

"Young Master, do you want to buy books?"

"I'm going to sell books."

In this way, under the leadership of Wang Jirui, who was full of curiosity in his heart, Xiao Mo walked towards the western district of the county.

Along the way, Xiao Mo is worthy of being Yunzhou with the strongest commercial atmosphere after all, although it is only a county seat, but the prosperous place is not inferior to his hometown Changzhi City, and the prosperity of businessmen is far beyond Xiao Mo's imagination, especially after entering the western district of the county, on both sides of the street, there are stalls and vendors everywhere, and the sound of selling is endless, and Xiao Mo even feels that he has come to a small town hundreds of years later.

As Wang Jirui said, there are three bookstores in Shanxian County, namely "Chongwen Bookstore", "Jiuru Bookstore" and "Yunzhou Bookstore". The three bookstores are all located in the western district of the county, and they are not very far from each other.

After Xiao Mo wandered outside the doors of the three bookstores for a while, he finally chose the "Chongwen Bookstore", which seemed to be the largest and most formal.

It is said to be the largest of the three bookstores, but in fact it is only a large house about six or seven zhang wide and long, but it looks very neat, and there are many bookshelves under the four walls, placing a large number of books, complete in kind, divided into categories, but it is a bit of a regular bookstore in later generations.

There was a guy in the bookstore who was sitting in the middle of the store and watching the store, and after seeing Xiao Mo leading Wang Jirui in, he hurriedly stood up to greet him, and asked with a smile: "Does the little brother want to buy books?" We have the most complete commentary on the scriptures here, a new edition of various Taoist Buddhist scriptures, and a collection of poems by Prime Minister Zhang Cheng......"

Xiao Mo kept smiling and waited for the guy to finish before he said, "It's not to buy books, but to sell books." ”

"Selling books?"

"Yes, do you have a book printing business in your store?"

As far as Xiao Mo knew, in this era, in many cases, book sellers and printing merchants were one.

Hearing Xiao Mo say this, looking at Xiao Mo's age, this guy obviously regarded Xiao Mo as a scholar of a certain scholar, and asked, "May I ask the little brother, which master is going to publish the book?" ”

Xiao Mo shook his head and explained with a smile: "No, I wrote some stories by myself and wanted to find you to print and sell." ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, this guy was obviously stunned, looked at Xiao Mo carefully, and muttered, "How can you do this at such a young age." ”

It turns out that in this era, in order to earn fame for themselves, many literati would find printers and booksellers to print their works in large quantities and sell them cheaply, of course, contrary to the situation when those slightly famous literati published books, their works did not meet the standard of being printed into books and sold, so they always paid money to printers and booksellers.

Obviously, this guy also regarded Xiao Mo as this kind of literati, and his expression was a little less eager, but he still said politely: "If you want to print and sell your books in large quantities, you need to pay us a deposit of thirty yuan first." Our rule here is that the price of each printed book is thirty-five cents, and the price of the sale is fifty-fifty cents, of course, if the number of copies you print is large, the price can be reduced a little......"

Hearing this guy's words, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be stunned, he wrote a book to make money, how did he come to this guy, and he actually needed to give him money?

Looking at the guy's expression, Xiao Mo finally suddenly smiled bitterly, it seemed that he couldn't tell this guy clearly.

Suddenly, Xiao Mo thought of something, and asked the guy again, "Do you sell it here?" ”

The guy was stunned again, and then replied: "We can consign here, but generally only consign the more precious ancient editions, and it also requires the cost of the same money." ”

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Mo took out the "Immortal Dao Quest" he wrote from his sleeve, handed it to the man, and said, "I consign this book." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Mo pulled down the jade pendant on his waist again, which was given to Xiao Mo by Yang Shoucheng before, and at this moment, it happened to be used as a consignment fee, and he also handed it to the buddy, saying: "This jade pendant is worth at least three dollars, find me a more conspicuous place to consign." ”

The guy looked at the poorly bound book in his left hand, and then at the valuable jade pendant in his right hand, and then looked at Xiao Mo suspiciously, and after Xiao Mo repeated his request again, the guy nodded with a strange expression, probably thinking that Xiao Mo had regarded him as a strange person in his heart.

"Little brother, what is the price of your book on consignment?"

After putting Xiao Mo's "Quest for the Immortal Dao" in a conspicuous place on the bookshelf, the guy asked.

"Thirty times."

Xiao Mo did not move and reported an unimaginable number.

The man's face froze, but he still nodded, took out a short hair, and wrote the words "Thirty Runs" under the position of "Immortal Dao Quest".

After the first qiē was over, Xiao Mo nodded with a smile and said, "I'll get the money in three days." ”

With that, Xiao Mo left with Wang Jirui, and the guy looked at Xiao Mo's back as he gradually moved away, and muttered, "Can it be sold?" I want to come back and get the money, this kid is crazy about money. ”

After that, the man put the matter behind him, and did not have the desire to see what the "strange book" worth thirty yuan was about, and how well could he have written it in his opinion that it had been written by a boy who was no more than twelve or thirteen years old. I just wrote it down as an anecdote and thought about it to brag about it to my friends in the future.

With that in mind, the man went back to his seat and sat down, waiting for the next guest to show up.

Just as the man sat down, he saw a young man dressed as a Confucian scholar walking into the store.
