Chapter 1: The Magic Bookstore
Ma Feifei had a dream, in which he held the Sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand, and he was full of spirit and dominated the entire Canglong Continent. What are the five great empires of Canglong, the seven academies and the like are all worshiped at his feet, and the top 100 of the Canglong fairy list have all been included in his harem. Of course, he must have had a lot of dreams later, and there were many details that he couldn't remember, but those didn't matter, the most important thing was to remember the right and the woman.
Ma Feifei felt that if his traversal life could be like in a dream, it would really be complete.
Yes, Ma Feifei crossed.
I came to a very special and magical place, why is it special? Because this place is like the antiquity of its own world, oh no, it is more magical than the antiquity of that world, and the people here can practice! Yesterday I saw someone flying over Watanabe Town.
Of course, there's something even more magical. Look at the girl on the street, with her hairy ears on her head, and the stone man with the special effect of fire at every turn, are you sure that your fire will not hurt the innocent?
For a Ma Feifei who has crossed over, all this is very magical, but the most magical thing is the 'magic bookstore' in Ma Feifei's mind.
This is a natural occurrence when crossing over, and it can also be called the golden finger that the traverser must bring.
Well, let's call it the 'bookstore system'.
Magical Bookstore (System)
Description: It's a fantastic system that will benefit you a lot.
A simple introduction, and it's gone.
Oh, and there's also a quest attached.
Congratulations to the host for its opening, please put a hand-copied copy of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales on the bookshelf and get a reading volume.
Completion Reward: "Half an Acre of Flower Field", the host's cultivation rank will be increased by a few points.
Just ask you if you are powerful, cow B or cow B. Others will either cultivate immortals, or they will open a gourmet shop, and then they will become a bookstore! The point is that these books still need to be copied by his own hands! What are you kidding, since you graduated, you can't write with a pen more than 100 times.
However, as the protagonist Goldfinger, Ma Feifei naturally transcribed the story of "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" given by the system.
The paper is amazing, it's comfortable to the touch, and I don't know what material it's made of.
The pen supplied by the system is a ballpoint pen, not the legendary brush.
So Ma Feifei traveled through three days, except for a morning stay on the morning of the first day, and the rest of the time was spent copying books.
It wasn't until the third day that the copy of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales was finally finished.
It was amazing to have copied this huge book in less than two days.
Strange to say, when Ma Feifei finished copying, the book turned into a golden light and flew into the bookshelves in the store, and the paper became a book with a cover!
Then, Ma Feifei's 'magic bookstore' opened.
As the morning passed, Ma Feifei moved a small Mazha and sat at the door of the bookstore, looking at the crowd of people on the street, more or less depressed.
No one patronized.
This is the most hurtful.
This is the border, especially the recent discord between Daqin and Dachu, there are often some small frictions on the border, and few people will have time to read books.
It's a martial world, oh no, it's a world of practice.
What the hell is reading?
At noon, Ma Feifei was hungry.
Touching the two coins in his pocket, Ma Feifei sighed.
He may be the poorest time-traveler ever.
Except for this bookstore, he really has a breeze on his sleeves.
Well, with ten copper plates, Ma Feifei ate three days of steamed buns.
The consumption in this world is still quite low, one copper plate and two buns, or meat filling, and the palm is so big.
However, looking at the 'steamed bun shop' diagonally opposite, Ma Feifei felt a little sick to his stomach, so forget about eating steamed buns.
"Should I find some work, or wouldn't I starve to death if I continue like this?" Ma Feifei sat back on the pony, supporting his chin with one hand, and rubbing the other back and forth with the copper plate, pondering.
For the bookstore, he still feels confident, there has to be a process, he believes that the 'magic bookstore' can make him a master, but before that, we have to ensure that we don't starve to death, right?
After all, God knows when this "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" will usher in its first reader!
Of course, the most important thing is that the system said that in order to celebrate the opening of the 'Magic Bookstore', the first book is free to read!
Well, so after all, Ma Feifei has to wait until the second reader to read it before he can have an income, and it is obviously unrealistic to rely on two copper plates in the middle.
But thinking about it, Ma Feifei felt as if he didn't know anything!
No, he can do coolies.
This thing doesn't take a lot of brains, just a little bit of strength, Ma Feifei is no problem doing this.
Hard-working, but there must be a way.
Ma Feifei came to this world for three days, and except for the owner of the steamed bun shop diagonally opposite, he really didn't know anyone.
But the bun shop should also need to do chores or something, right? It's also very tiring to look at people, so you should be selected if you run to apply for a job!
Would it?
......
"What? Ma family boy, do you want to come to my place to help, just give me something to eat?" The owner of the bun shop looked at Ma Feifei and said in surprise.
Who is Ma Feifei? He is a nobleman, he inherited the title of baron from his father, although there are many nobles in Dachu like dogs, but nobles are nobles, and they are higher than commoners.
No matter how downtrodden the nobles were, let them go to work for the commoners, it was really impossible to do.
Ma Feifei didn't care, what is the use of aristocrats, in his memory, his dead father is a nobleman! Yes, he is still a viscount. But apart from that storefront, what else? nothing, the viscount title is too low, and the state does not subsidize salaries, not to mention that Ma Feifei is just a baron now, except for being tax-free, he has to live on his own.
"Hehe, isn't that about to starve? Daddy Wang, you see, I still have a little bit of strength, and it's no problem to help you and make noodles. Ma Feifei is not embarrassed, he had too much social experience in his previous life, and he didn't know how many jobs he had found when looking for a job, and it was the norm to be looked down upon, let alone find a job.
"What about your bookstore?" asked Daddy Wang.
A few days ago, Ma Feifei changed his storefront into a bookstore, but it alarmed the neighbors of this street, you must know that this store used to be a medical center, Ma Feifei's father opened, and the residents on this street all had a bruise and injury, but Ma Feifei's father saw it, and this medical center was suddenly changed into a bookstore, and the neighbors on this street had no place to see a doctor, so it was inevitable to talk about it, not to mention what this bookstore was? Why can't I understand it.
"I can help after five o'clock in the evening. Ma Feifei said.
The importance of bookstores Ma Feifei naturally knows that it is impossible to abandon the basics, this season is dark at five o'clock in the evening, and there are even fewer people on the streets of Watanabe Town, so closing at five o'clock is a more suitable time.
Father Wang looked at Ma Feifei's thin body, and finally said, "Why don't you come over tonight first?"
Ma Feifei saw that Father Wang was looking at his body, and he was a little unconvinced, this was looking down on himself.
"Okay, just take a look. ”
"Okay, if you still want this job after reading it, then I want you, two cents a day, how about it?"
For two pennies, you can buy four steamed buns, or a bowl of Yangchun noodles, or two taels of beef.
Doesn't seem to be bad?
"It's a deal. ”
The day passed quickly, and the 'Magic Bookstore' was still unpatronized, so Ma Feifei closed the door of the bookstore hungry and ran to Daddy Wang's bun shop to help.
Daddy Wang was selling buns in front and didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he called his mother-in-law to take Ma Feifei into the backyard.
Wang's father-in-law and mother-in-law Wang Liu, although she looks five big and three coarse, but her temperament is very gentle, although Ma Feifei is here to do chores, but Wang Liu's attitude is still very good, and it can be said that the respect is not exaggerated, this is the difference between nobles and commoners.
It is said to be a backyard, but it is actually where Daddy Wang's family lives, similar to a courtyard house, where you can eat, drink, and Lazar. Like Ma Feifei's home, there is a shop in front and a small yard in the back.
There is a shed in the corner of the yard, and there is a stone round mill in the shed, and the little lady of the Wang family is grinding wheat with a stone mill.
Ma Feifei took a look, and hurriedly went up to help, regardless of the blushing face of the little lady of the Wang family, she just pushed the others aside and took her own.
"Uh" Ma Feifei was stunned and didn't push it!
I was struggling, but I still didn't push.
blushed, but still didn't push.
"Poof" The little lady of the Wang family, who had been staring at Ma Feifei behind her, finally couldn't help laughing. She also seemed to feel that this was a little bad, so she quickly covered her mouth, her little face flushed, she seemed to be a little shy, and she hid her face and ran out.
"Ahem" Now it's Ma Feifei's turn to be embarrassed.
Why is this thing so heavy? A little lady can push it, why can't she do it herself? Ma Feifei was a little injured.
It seems to be quite difficult to do manual work.
In the end, Wang Liu still let Ma Feifei run to make peace.
I thought that making noodles was an easy thing, but after getting started, Ma Feifei was even more injured.
Just such a lump of flour, it will not exceed ten catties by eye, but when Ma Feifei picked it up, he found that there were at least thirty catties.
How is this and that?
Wang Liu's hands on the side were as agile as flying, and a lump of noodles on her hands seemed to be stretched and shortened, stretched, and stretched freely.
Tell Ma Feifei with practical actions that the face should be like this.
This bowl of rice, Ma Feifei felt that he couldn't eat it.
However, Ma Feifei still had a lot of perseverance, and he finished the ball of flour in his hand, which was unanimously appreciated by Wang Liu and her daughter, who not only gave two pennies, but also invited Ma Feifei to have a rather sumptuous dinner.
Of course, Ma Feifei didn't ask for the salary, and he could still eat dinner.
There is meat, there are vegetables, there is rice.
It's delicious.
However, looking at his hands that were shaking with chopsticks, Ma Feifei finally understood Daddy Wang's eyes at noon today.
I don't seem to be able to do this job.
Ma Feifei eventually gave up the job.
When he went to bed at night, Ma Feifei's mind always came up with the scene of Wang Liu's noodles and the little lady of the Wang family, and he thought about it for a long, long time.
Looking at his hands that he couldn't lift, Ma Feifei sighed: "This world is really amazing." ”
