Guo Xinxing, the word Huanran, Henan Prefecture Yuzhou people, people are good at learning, intelligent and modest, in the eighth year of Baoda to the Southern Tang Dynasty, into the office, business, all have a chivalrous name, which is praised by the world, is his book "Tang Dynasty Records". The book explains and interprets the profound impact of the Great Reform of the Southern Tang Dynasty on the people from the perspective of the people, and is known as the "folk reading book of the Southern Tang Dynasty Reform". ——Excerpt from the book "Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty" written by Shi Yan, a historian of the Southern Tang Dynasty? Biography of Guo Xinxing.

"When I woke up in the morning, the air had already started to get hot, but what made the atmosphere in this little inn even more lively was the noise of a group of us, because today everyone must have made an appointment to put down the books in their hands and go to the supermarket where everyone is going crazy, and everyone is urging each other and joking non-stop. Of course, for me, the main thing is to think of receiving relief from Datang there, and I have been away from home for more than a month, and there is not much left in my pocket.

Most of my companions were scholars from the north, but there was one young man who claimed to be from Yancheng by the sea. He gave me a strange feeling, his dark face was flushed, his eyes were often squinted, but when he opened his eyes, they were as sharp as a knife, and his body looked thinner but with great strength; He claims to be a reader, but from time to time two vulgar words come out; He stooped to this shabby little inn, but he was very generous in his daily actions, often invited everyone out to eat, and his words and deeds revealed a sense of pride. In my opinion, this person must be hiding something, even his name, Jia Yuhang, I suspect that it is a fake name made up by him.

Finally set off, and a group of six of us walked forward at a rapid pace, noisy all the way. In the distance, we saw the towering supermarket, and everyone stopped the noise and quietly observed this strange three-story building.

At the north gate, there were already quite a few horse-drawn carriages slowly driving into the fence. On the fence, "There are friends from afar, and it is very happy", a line of handsome and chic big characters are lined up in order, which should be Han Xizai's eight-point calligraphy.

Entering the north gate, a row of houses on the right hand side of the gable wall nailed a big wooden plaque, on the book "Jixian Hall" three big characters, I think this should be the notice said in the relief of foreign scholars, craftsmen of the place, this very hidden but very good meaning of the name of the name made my heart suddenly warm, never forget to give a trace of dignity and respect to people like me. Thank you, Lord Lin!

I didn't stop, I walked behind everyone to the supermarket, and when I was done, I would find a way to sneak away and accept help, I didn't want to be belittled.

As soon as I unintentionally looked up, a long couplet on the periphery of the second floor caught my eye, and I couldn't help but read aloud:

"Today's east and tomorrow's west, the world is boundless, can't keep the beauty of Zhu Yan and jade, can't take the white gold, rich as Shi Chong, noble as Yang Su, where is the green bead and red whisk now, persuade the gentleman to put down a few papers, sell a pot to learn three seats and four, and be happy when you are happy;

This road to that road, the green mountains are stacked and the green water melts, the Chu Gorge and Qinguan are not exhausted, the heart is not satisfied with the sea, the wisdom is like Zhou Yu, the courage is like Xiang Yu, the Wujiang Chibi assembly is empty, please sit for a while, listen to two sentences about the ancient road and the present, and have a quiet place and leisure. ”

Hearing my chanting, a group of people couldn't help but look up and take a closer look at the couplet.

"A good pair, understand the true slander of life, and be able to wake up the world!" I couldn't help but boast.

"Well, whether it's calligraphy or not, it should also be written by Lord Han Xizai! Mr. Han's pen fee is very expensive, it seems that this supermarket is really rich! Pan Ben, who was traveling with him, sighed, he was a native of Qianshan in Shuzhou in Southern Tang Dynasty, and his talent was amazing.

"Where, Lord Lin Fenglin and Lord Han are sworn brothers, I'm afraid I won't spend a penny!" Xiao Qiu Xu, who was traveling with him, said. He is a native of Xuancheng, Anhui Province, and his name is Mengyang. He has been studying in Jinling since two years ago, self-motivated, shameless to ask, and a well-known "nerd" among our bunch of people.

"Alas, no matter how good the couplet is, it's in vain, if you really want to go to the second floor for a meal, I heard that you have to book it in advance! I've also heard that there are performances here every other night, and the ticket prices are very expensive, but everyone says that the performances are very novel and exciting. It's a pity, I'm afraid I won't have a chance! Pan Ben sighed.

"It's okay, I've got tickets for lunch and evening!" Jia Yuhang, who had never spoken, said in a rough voice.

"Brother Xie Lu, Brother Xie Jia!" Everyone thanked them in unison. During this time, everyone has become accustomed to eating and drinking with him.

"Let's go, let's go and see Lord Lin's 'Wonderful Shop' first! Everyone says that if you don't visit the 'Wonder Shop', you won't be to the supermarket. You say, how can this Lord Lin know so many things? Strange people, geniuses! Pan Ben sighed and walked forward.

Lin Feng's mysterious rise, the legendary experience of being promoted three times in two months is the most emotional thing in our daily chats, but I personally have always felt strongly that this Lord Lin is definitely not simple, and there must be many things that everyone doesn't know. At this moment, I really want to see Lord Lin's true body and take a closer look at this person who can be called the most mysterious person in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Alas, I'm afraid it won't work now!" Pan Ben, who was walking in the front, said dejectedly. Everyone followed his gaze and found that the 'Wonderful Shop' was already crowded with women, and it was as noisy as a vegetable market in the morning.

"Let's go, let's go to the other shops first!" I proposed.

Not a few steps ahead, the dazzling things on both sides of the passage suddenly made everyone's eyes widen, this kind of casual picking, the feeling of any choice is too cool, a few people made an appointment to meet at the north gate after an hour, and they dispersed all of a sudden, and they all looked for their own desirable shops to shop.

The brush I used for my daily writing was already bald, so I went straight into a pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop.

A young and pretty girl immediately smiled and greeted her, her clothes were very strange, I had never seen before, but she looked very good on her, and she looked very simple and capable. The bright red top reflected her face flushed, making a smiling face even more amiable.

"Hello sir, may I have anything to do for you?" The beautiful woman whispered.

What a strange greeting! Her words seemed less intimate, and certainly not rejecting people, just as she kept a distance from my body, could it be that their daily demands would be so detailed?

"I'd like to buy a slightly softer brush." I replied, my eye drawn to the rows of brushes neatly hung on the pen holders.

"Then please come here." The female clerk turned slightly to the right, stretched her right hand forward, and made a gesture of please.

I moved two steps and walked to a row of pens. Suddenly, I noticed a small piece of paper near each pen with something like a strange number on it, and I asked the clerk what it meant.

"Sir, this is the price per pen. All items in our supermarket are clearly priced. This kind of number is the number invented by our Lin people, it is very simple, these mean six yuan, ten yuan and twenty yuan respectively, you can choose freely. The clerk was still smiling.

I chose a six-dollar brush and was about to hand it to the female clerk. She took a step back, shook her hand lightly and said, "Sir, we can't collect money directly, I'll invoice you now." If you take my word for it, you can give me the money and the ticket and I'll go settle the bill for you. ”

It's a novelty! The clerk picked up a piece of black charcoal wrapped in a piece of paper, quickly wrote two pieces of paper, and motioned for me to go forward and settle the bill.

I picked up the piece of paper and left, not because I didn't believe her, but because I wanted to experience how to check out for myself. I saw that a table had been drawn on the piece of paper in my hand, and there were many different numbers filled in the middle, which made people stunned for a while. But I looked at it, and I could understand that there should be the price of the brush, today's date, the number of the goods, and the number of the piece of paper, but there is one number, 10072, which I really can't guess what it means.

The checkout point carved out a spot in a shop in the middle of the aisle, and a female clerk sitting behind the counter saw me coming, immediately got up and whispered, "Hello, sir! Do you want to check out? ”

"Yes!" I gave her the eight coins and two pieces of paper very curiously, and she took the pieces of paper with both hands, and after counting them carefully, she took out a small stamp and stamped a red seal on each of the two pieces of paper, and handed one of them back to me.

"Sir, it's all right! Please use this ticket to pick up the goods, and show this ticket to the clerk at the door when you go out! The female clerk said with a smile.

What a novelty! I got the pen, and the female clerk in the store sent me to the door of the store, bent down slightly, and said in a coquettish voice: "Sir, thank you for coming!" I'm clerk number 72, so you can always tell me if you need it in the future! ”

I see, number 10072 is the number of this beautiful clerk! I was relieved.

As I walked on, I saw the smiling faces of the clerks, and my mood improved. It was a good feeling to be respected, especially when I was too shy to be rolled by the innkeepers, and I immediately felt that my steps were lighter, and the supermarket was much closer to me.
