The next day, Mo Qingyuan was sent to the school, and Mo Zhi and An Xian went to find a shop, like the big shop that was originally rented in Yuanyang County, it cost two taels of silver per month in the capital, that is to say, the monthly rent alone cost five taels of silver.

"What do you think of this one?" Mo Zhi looked at her and asked.

An Xian nodded, this shop is quite spacious, the space for books and seats is enough, and in fact, this building is much more beautiful than the original, facing south, although it is not the most central location, but there are inns and restaurants on the left and right, not too far from the market, except for being more expensive, there is nothing else to pick.

"Boss, can't it be cheaper?" An Xian said: "We just saw a similar shop, only four taels of silver. ”

The boss was a man in his forties, and shook his head very firmly: "This lot is already the lowest price, otherwise you can go further inside, the more you are on the inside, the more expensive it is." ”

"Then let me ask you, if you open a bookstore in this place, how will the customer source be?"

The boss is quite real: "If you want to talk about bookstores, there are too many in this capital, whether it can be prosperous, it's really not good, if you have some doors, you can love something, and have a relationship with the school or something, then it shouldn't be bad." ”

An Xian nodded: "Then thank you, we rented this shop." ”

You have to pay three months at a time, so that there is a shortage of more than a dozen taels of silver, Mo Zhi said while helping to clean up: "The silver can be saved, bookshelves, tables and chairs or something, let me do it!" ”

An Xian nodded: "That's what I mean, you wait a minute, I'll go and draw the things to be used and the style to be made." ”

The bookstore in Yuanyang County is actually opened in a bit of a hurry, and everything is bought, which is very ordinary in comparison, and the competition in this capital is so fierce, if you want to stand out, you have to have your own characteristics.

In the previous life, there were many bookstores and libraries, but it was obviously impossible to make the kind of high-end things in modern times, An Xian wrote and drew on paper, and when he came back to his senses, he had already drawn several pieces of paper, from the bookshelves, walls, to table and chair decorations, all of which were taken into account.

Because the shop was empty, there was nothing now, so it didn't take much effort to clean up, Mo Zhi packed up and came to see her: "Finished writing?" ”

An Xian nodded: "How about you come and see?" ”

As soon as Mo Zhi looked at the first bookshelf, he wondered, "What is this?" ”

"Bookshelf!" An Xian explained: "It can be rotated, that is to say, it is not used to walk back and forth, it is to go to the book you want to read, you see in the middle, there is a very thick wooden stick, it must be strong, and then one has to be covered with four layers of shelves, and it has to be carved into a circle, the size is moderate, and then a backing board is made under each layer, and it is enough." ”

Mo Zhi looked at it carefully, imagined it in his mind, and his eyes lit up: "You can give it a try, how did you come up with this thing?" ”

An Xian pursed his lips: "Have you forgotten what I did?" Aren't all those things in the book more strange than this? ”

Mo Zhi thought about it: "You keep watch in the store, I'll go buy some things and come back, it just so happens that there is a lot of space here, let's start working here directly!" ”

Things always have to be the same, first empty the bookshelf, not long after, Mo Zhi used a carriage to pull back a cart of wood and tools, An Xian specially asked him to buy a lot of paint back to paint the wall.

Mo Zhi fumbled to make a bookshelf, and if there was a place that was not sure, he would ask An Xian, who wrapped his apron and turban, stood on a chair and began to paint, and when she painted this wall, she would let Mo Zhi move to the farthest corner of the wall to do it, so as not to get stained with sawdust.

She is not a painter, she will only be simple, think about it, since it is said to be a sea of books, then the four walls are painted into a sea, and the name of the bookstore is thought of, it is called a sea of books.

She drew a rough blueprint, and the effect should be good, the color of the sea is bright, but simple, and it can make the house open up in an instant.

The two of them were busy with their own work, although they were tired, but they were full of interest, and for a whole morning, An Xiancai finished painting a wall, tired and had a sore back, and went down the ladder and took a few steps back, and immediately raised his lips with satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment was bursting.

"What do you think?" An Xian pulled Mo Zhi and asked.

Mo Zhi looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I haven't seen the sea." ”

An Xian sneered: "It's okay if you haven't seen it, just see how it works." "That's right, Yuanyang County is originally in the north, there are a lot of mountains, there is no sea, and the ancient times are not like modern people, where do you want to go, you can travel to see the sea if you haven't seen it, this ancient time to go out is too difficult.

"It's pretty good." Mo Zhi said: "It's the first time I've seen this kind of room. ”

There are still a lot of modern ones, if she can, An Xian still wants to make a theme bookstore, but now there is no such condition, or she will slowly fill in some things!

An Xian was so tired that he couldn't do it, so he sat next to him and watched Mo Zhi busy with his work, Mo Zhi's hand was very fast, and half of the bookshelf had been made, and a thick wood in the middle was very tightly inlaid on a heavy wooden pier, and it would not shake for half a minute.

On the wooden stick, in the same position, make a wooden board to separate it, and then put it into the finished shelf, An Xian tried to turn around, feeling a little jerky, and the friction was a little bigger.

"I'll just get it on with sandpaper in a moment, and I'll just get it out of sandpaper." Mo Zhi said: "The wood is like this, it's not so smooth, just turn it around with more paint." ”

An Xian nodded: "The table and chairs, I want to make a complete set, take them out when you use them, and put them away and stack them on the table when no one is around, which will save more space." ”

Mo Zhi raised his head from the wood: "As long as you can think of it, just draw it, these ideas of yours are worth more than anything with a price." ”

Design is really valuable, what I'm afraid of is that I don't have creativity, An Xian understands too well as a modern person, helpless, even if she is a modern person, she doesn't know much about this aspect, only to see it...... I haven't studied it carefully, so I can only think of some simple things that can be made in this backward era.

The day has passed so hecticly, and the shop is now a mess, full of all kinds of pigments and wood, but the results are not bad, according to this progress, it can be completed in about ten days.

"I'm sleepy." Ahn Hyun lay on the table, drowsy.

Mo Zhi simply covered her with a gown: "Squint for a while, I'll pick up the child myself." ”

An Xian was really tired, she fell asleep in a daze, in a trance, like a loud noise, she looked up impatiently, only to see the door kicked open, and several men rushed in with unkind faces, including the two people who came to the house that day.

"Wow! Sure enough, it's you! He also lied to our brothers and said that they knew our boss! What a guts! The man sneered: "We were reprimanded, this time it's not as simple as paying money, take it away!" ”

When Mo Zhi took Mo Qingyuan back, the door was open, and he went in and shouted, "An Xian? "Nowhere was there, the bookshelves were knocked over, sawdust was flying everywhere, he felt bad in his heart, and he screamed several times, but still no one responded.

"Stop shouting." The owner of a nearby cloth shop said, "You're new here, right?" Did you not pay the protection fee? That woman in your family was taken away by their men just now! ”

Mo Zhi's face immediately sank, and his fists clenched tightly: "Do you know where they are?" ”

The boss shook his head: "I don't know, they have always come to us, but no one has gone to them." ”

Mo Zhi was anxious, An Xian, a weak woman, fell into the hands of that kind of person......

"Daddy!" Mo Qingyuan probably knew what was going on: "Go ahead!" I'll just stay at home and wait. "He knew he was a child, and if he took him, it would get in the way.

Mo Zhi took his hand: "Is it possible that there is really no royal law in this capital?!" Let's go, let's go to the government first! "There's no way, he really has a black eye in this place, no matter what, this government can't sit idly by, right?

After asking the location of the official mansion, Mo Zhi took Mo Qingyuan to report to the official, he just came to this matter, he didn't expect it, this place in the capital is complicated, and sure enough, the water is also deep, and the people's hearts are sinister, he knew that he felt that it was better to go directly to Si Lu, saving so much trouble.
