Chapter 32: The Book Pavilion

Entering the city, Qianqing went straight to the library.

Shuge is a chain organization, equivalent to the Xinhua bookstore on the planet, mainly selling books and rice paper.

Most of the books sold are records of the history and humanistic deeds of the five continents, and it is the rule of the Shuge not to sell the secret books of the exercises. And if you don't know each other and dare to ask about the secret books of the exercises in the Library, then don't blame the Library, it's a trivial matter to get out, and you may be wanted if you make a big fuss.

Since we don't sell the cheats of the exercises, then what does the Shuge rely on to make it big? The answer is very simple, rice paper.

Rice paper is very valuable, especially the rice paper produced by Shuge, the cotton is soft like brocade, and it is difficult to have insects. It can be stored for thousands of years without decay, which is really high-quality.

There are three grades, upper, middle and lower grades, above the upper grades, and upper grades.

It's not that there is no top-quality rice paper, but there is only one Shuge that can produce high-quality rice paper on a large scale, not to mention that his family can also make high-quality rice paper, which lays the irreplaceable position of Shuge.

You need paper to write cheats, and you need paper to write exercises. If the paper used is bad, the loss of the exercise cheats is a trivial matter, and the loss of people is a major matter.

You say that your exercises go straight to the grandmaster? Just this kind of thing written on the lower grade rice paper, people with a little status disdain. Only the high-grade rice paper is worthy of the high-grade exercises.

Moreover, most of the customers of the book pavilion come from the aristocracy and the royal family, and they use paper for their daily calligraphy, painting, poetry and lyrics, and edicts.

Splash ink with your own hands and use ordinary paper. But if you show it to others, your paper will determine how much face you can win. Others won't even care about your content, good paper is good words, good drawing.

It's a bit like influencer marketing on the planet, with the difference that Shuge's fame is based on quality assurance, rather than hiring a few people to attract attention and make a gimmick.

As for why Qianqing knew about the Library, it was because his teacher when he was a child was invited from the Library, and he would occasionally mention some things about the Library.

There are no requirements to enter the library, but there are three points to remember.

First, the collection must not be destroyed.

Second, don't make loud noises.

Third, do not trespass.

The first two points are easy to understand, and the third point is the unspoken rules for the Library.

Once you decide which area to go to read a book, you can only appear in that area that day, and you can't go to another area to read other types of books.

In addition, reading books is free, and you will only be charged if you want to borrow or buy them.

In fact, they are public libraries, but they are more strictly managed.

The book pavilion of Nanlimburg is larger than the one in the capital of Qianguo, more than 700 square meters, three floors high, the whole body is made of wood, and there is a kind of antique flavor when you look at it from the outside.

When I entered the door, someone immediately asked, "What district?"

Qianqing raised his head, glanced at the description of the division, and said, "Three districts." ”

The three areas are strange books, and strange books refer to rare and strange books.

"Remember, Zone Three. ”

A wooden plaque engraved with "three" was thrown into Qianqing's hand.

Put away the wooden sign, clear your eyes without squinting, and go straight to the door marked "Three Zones".

Inside the house, there are dozens of bookshelves, each of which holds hundreds of books, which means that there are thousands of books in this room alone.

Thousands of books are nothing on earth, but in this world, without a printing press, they can only be copied by hand.

The hand-copied workers in the library are well paid, but there is often a risk of hand disability, and the eyesight will not be as good as ordinary people when they are older.

Picked up the first book at hand, "The Collection of Books", opened it and took a look, and it was indeed a strange book.

On the first page, the opening chapter reads: There are tens of millions of books, and the heart is orderly.

Then, there is a list of one to one hundred, and each book includes the author's name, which is recorded.

Turning the second page is the author's opinion on each book on the list.

The author's insights are unique, analytical, and well-reasoned, and his well-founded wording is convincing.

"Collected Books" is very thick, comparable to a dictionary, its role is also similar to a dictionary, the author has made a list for each type of book, one to one hundred, the content of each book has a detailed explanation, and some even have the author's experience and emotions when writing the book, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first strange book in the world.

At that moment, Qianqing decided to buy the book back.

But don't worry, he just came, quickly flipped through the list of strange books, and just glanced at it, Qianqing smiled.

There is no "Collected Books" in the list, and the author does not give a reason. I don't know if the author thinks that "Collected Books" surpasses the list, or when he wrote "Collected Books", he forgot about it.

The first place on the list is "Miscellaneous Chronicles", the reason for being on the list: throughout history, there are no relics, and a book is full of wisdom.

When he found "Miscellaneous Records", Qianqing knew how sincere the comments of "Collected Books" were.

Opening, no nonsense, direct marking of the age, illustrations, annotations.

[Stone cone], invented by ancient humans, unearthed in Xizhou Bailiyuan, used to drill, chisel, attack, etc., belongs to the early tools of human beings.

Next to the illustration of the [Stone Cone], there is also a [Diagram of Labor] when ancient humans used tools, this ancient human is not drawn from a modern human template according to the gourd painting scoop, but more like an ape, with long arms, a protruding mouth, a large head, a rickety body, and a straight waist.

Awesome, this illustration, this annotation, I don't know if I think it's a cultural relict researched by a scientific research team.

But who would have thought that there would be no geology, genetics, let alone any technical means of restoration!

Under such conditions, there are still people who have achieved chronological research and restoration of primitive people's appearance. I really don't know if they came up with it in their imagination or if there was some other way.

At this moment, Qianqing understood.

The reason why the author did not put "Collected Books" on the list is really because this "Miscellaneous Chronicles" is too awesome, so that the author is unwilling to put "Collected Books" under "Miscellaneous Chronicles", but it can be placed on "Miscellaneous Chronicles", and it feels a little favoritism, no wonder.

Looking at it again, the more Qianqing looked, the more fascinated he became, and the more he watched, the more he admired. This author is really a person who can be compared with the author of "Collected Books", and even faintly can overwhelm "Collected Books".

It is impossible to read the whole book in one sitting, and Qianqing, who knows this very well, can stop and finally only read the content of the Stone Age.

It has to be said that the ancient human civilization of this world is exactly the same as that on Earth, and so far there is no difference.

Buy!

Buy both!

Then go to the third book, which is the second place on the strange book list - "Cooking of Birds and Animals".

Looking at the name, it looks like a cookbook, and when you open it, it is.

There are also illustrations, annotations, and the text introduction is more detailed than the "Miscellaneous Chronicles".

I wrote not only about the cooking methods, but also about the weaknesses of birds and animals.

Awesome!

Let's talk about the first page, the illustration is the most common chicken, and the main theme is fried.

First of all, Eli knife is placed below the skull of the chicken's neck, and the fourth section of the spine is bled and bled with a bowl.

After the blood is drained, vigorously break open the sternum of the chicken, first take the internal organs, wash off the excess clotted blood with water, and cut it into pieces.

When stir-frying, you need to use charcoal to raise the fire, add dry wood, the fire should be fierce, first moisten the pot with chicken fat, pour blood, add a little salt, after the chicken pieces, stir-fry repeatedly.

At this point, Qianqing closed the book, his stomach was purring, and he couldn't stand it!

Bought!

Buy together!

Buy all three!

Because of the rule that you can't eat in the library, Qianqing had to put down the three books first, walk out of the library, hastily fill your stomach, and then go back again.
