Chapter 205: Expanding the Library
An Xian's bookstore is getting better and better, and her fame is getting bigger and bigger, and now in Kyoto, no one doesn't know that she is a female writer who can write books and comics.
Seeing that the bookstore's business was booming, An Xian was also thinking about whether to expand the scale of the bookstore.
In this era, it is very remarkable that a small bookstore can do what it is now, if you want to expand the scale, it is not comparable to in modern times, it can be said to be able to get up, such a big thing must be discussed with Mo Zhi.
At night, after eating, two people sat in the courtyard to enjoy the flowers and chat, and the chrysanthemums in the yard were very beautiful.
An Xian has always liked to play with flowers and plants, and when he was in the hospital alone during chemotherapy before, he couldn't do anything by himself, so he brought a few pots of flowers and carefully served them every day to relieve the boredom in his heart.
"Mo Zhi, the business of the library is getting better and better, I think about expanding the scale of the library and adding some new things to the library." An Xian looked at Mo Zhi expectantly and said.
Mo Zhi nodded: "Okay, you can do whatever you want, you said that writing a book is your greatest pleasure, and I will support you in whatever you do." ”
An Xian smiled: "Does anyone laugh at you, other people's wives are honest husbands and children at home, but I am restless and busy with the affairs of the library all day long." ”
Mo Zhi stopped her shoulder: "Others can't envy me, my wife is not an ordinary person, and others can't do what you want." ”
The next morning, An Xian told Yu Sheng the good news, Yu Sheng had been in the library for so long, and he could always understand An Xian's thoughts, and the two of them sat together excitedly to study how to expand the library.
Ever since Ahn Hyun was planning to expand, new ideas kept popping up in her head.
"I think that after the expansion of the library, we can also expand our library at the same time, and there are so few books on the market, so we might as well put up a sign to recruit people who can write books, so that we can attract more customers." Ahn Hyun said.
If this is called recruiting writers in modern times, this book can also be made into a serialized mode, no matter what industry, as long as there is something new, it will definitely cause a boom.
Yusheng listened to An Xian's idea and seemed to understand it, can this bookstore still recruit people who write books? I've never heard of it myself, but I still nodded and listened to An Xian continue.
An Xian looked at Yu Sheng's somewhat puzzled appearance and smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, when it's done, you can see what my thoughts are." ”
After a morning of planning, the general template of the library has been outlined, the library can borrow books, you can drink tea casually, and a module of book serialization has been added, these things are not strange in modern times, but here, no one has heard of them.
I will soon have a brand new library, An Xian is very excited when he thinks about it, and he has been busy non-stop in the past few days, and even Qinghe has been called by her to help.
After choosing the location of the store, An Xian began to be busy decorating the bookstore, and now the store is much larger than the original, and it takes a lot of time to decorate, but An Xian is happy to do it, with the help of Yusheng and Qinghe, the three of them are not bored together.
Yusheng and Qinghe helped An Xian a lot, when An Xian went out to do other things, these two people did the work in the store, looking at the tacit understanding between the two people, An Xian felt that he was very worthy.
One day, when he rushed Qinghe back to Mofu to get food, An Xian pulled Yusheng and said, "In the past few days, I have worked hard for you, and I have been so busy." ”
Yusheng scratched his head: "I'm a big man, that is, I am doing physical work, and those brain-consuming bits and pieces are all done by Qinghe, and I didn't help much." ”
An Xian listened to his words and smiled: "That Qinghe girl, is it not to your liking?" ”
As soon as Yusheng heard An Xian ask such a question, his whole face turned red, he lowered his head, and said hesitantly: "Sister An Xian, don't make fun of me, Miss Qinghe is beautiful and smart, how can she fall in love with me." ”
An Xian looked at the embarrassed appearance of Yusheng's big girl, and couldn't help laughing: "Then you just like people, Qinghe is excellent, you are not bad, you are good-looking, hard-working, which girl doesn't like it, of course, Xiao Yu said something else, after all, when you met, people were already famous, besides, you know that Qinghe is not interesting to you?" ”
Yusheng raised his head and looked at An Xian, with an expectant look in his eyes.
The two of them were talking, Qinghe pushed the door and came in, carrying two lunch boxes in his hands, Yusheng saw that he was busy and took them, An Xian looked at this scene and laughed, and was seen by Yusheng, which made Yusheng very embarrassed.
Qinghe didn't know what was going on with the two of them, so he opened the lunch box and took out a bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge and handed it to An Xian, saying: "Today's porridge is made by me, the taste should be very light, I know that Mrs. doesn't like greasy." ”
An Xian nodded, watched Qinghe take out a lot of side dishes, the three of them sat down and began to eat, Qinghe naturally picked up a few pieces of sauced beef and put them into Yusheng's bowl: "You do all the hard work, you eat more meat, and grow strong." ”
There is nothing wrong with a cookbook, but when An Xian said that, Yusheng's heart seemed to have grass growing, and he finished the meal with a blushing face.
The three of them were very much looking forward to the completion of the library, so they worked quickly, and after about half a month, the library was finally completed, and they were about to move the books inside.
Looking at the fruits of their hard work, the three of them felt very satisfied in their hearts, and they could use it by simply cleaning it up, and An Xian and Qinghe were busy until the sun went down.
In the evening, An Xian and Qinghe returned home together, and on the way, An Xian and the two of them chatted with each other.
"I see that He, too, is at an age where it's time to get married." An Xian looked at Qinghe and said with a smile.
Hearing An Xian's words, a touch of crimson appeared on Qinghe's face, and he lowered his head embarrassedly: "I don't have that idea yet, I just want to stay with Mrs. Xia Zhu"
An Xian listened to Qinghe's words and said with a smile: "You can't stay with me for the rest of your life, isn't it...... Got a sweetheart? ”
Qinghe's beautiful eyes wandered, and she hurriedly said: "Madame, don't make fun of Qinghe, Qinghe may just be unrequited love." As he spoke, he lowered his head.
An Xian looked at Qinghe's appearance and said with a smile: "Who can have such a good fortune and call you unrequited love." After a pause, he continued: "I think Yusheng is good, he seems to like you very much, but it's a pity that you already have a sweetheart." After speaking, he raised his eyes to see Qinghe's reaction.
When Qinghe heard An Xian say such a thing, he immediately looked at An Xian in surprise, and couldn't help asking, "That's what Yusheng said?" ”
An Xian saw Qinghe's somewhat unbelievable appearance, and said with a smile: "I think your sweetheart is Yusheng, right, as far as I know, he also likes what you like." ”
Qinghe was stunned for a while, and returned home full of concern.
The expansion of the bookstore went smoothly, and Yusheng moved all the books in the old store here early, and he didn't need to bother with An Xian, and he also bought a lot of new books.
According to An Xian's idea, all the books were classified and put on different shelves, and Wang also drew a library card, and Yusheng went to the printing house early to find an engraver to make a lot of wooden library cards.
The entire library is very avant-garde and is unique among all the bookstores in Kyoto.
After finishing the hardware, An Xian put out an advertisement for recruitment, recruiting writers, such a recruitment advertisement attracted the attention of many people, what is a writer, such a job has never been heard of before, in addition, because of the expansion of the library, An Xian plans to find another person to help Yusheng fight.
Yusheng asked with some doubts: "Sister An Xian, you say, can this attract people?" ”
An Xian said confidently: "You can rest assured, someone will come, so many unsuccessful talents in Kyoto every year, now there is a job that is suitable for them and pays a lot of money, how can they not be tempted?" ”
As expected, just two days after the advertisement was launched, three or four Xiucai who applied for the position of writer came, and An Xian gave them the questions that had been prepared in advance, and after reading the results of their answers, he left two people and sent them the prepared story outline.
One day, An Xian was sorting out the writer's manuscript, and a girl came to the library and wanted to apply for a job as a library buddy.
An Xian glanced at the woman, her lips were red and her teeth were white, slim, her eyebrows were picturesque, she was really beautiful, her eyes looked left and right, and she was very clever at first glance.
An Xian welcomed this girl into the door, this girl's name is Ma Ruiyang, she is from a small county in Dayao, her father died early, she came to Kyoto alone, wanting to find a job here and let herself live.
An Xian listened to her life experience, and felt that this girl was not simple, and she lived independently early, a girl, who was really great in this era, accepted her and let her stay in the library.
Ma Ruiyang works very neatly and helps Yusheng a lot, An Xian sees it in his eyes and has a very good impression of her.
As soon as Anxian's "new-style bookstore" opened, it ushered in a lot of customers, some of whom were already old faces, and it was the first time that everyone had heard of the library card that it didn't cost much money to borrow a book, as long as it was returned at the specified time, which was much more suitable than buying a book, and people came to Anxian's bookstore to borrow books.
And all the books are sorted and placed, which makes it much more convenient for people who come to buy books, and not long after the bookstore opens, people gradually get used to this method of borrowing, and An Xian and his bookstore have once again become a hot topic for people after dinner.
