Chapter 4: The Madness of Corey Telly (Part I)
It didn't take long for everyone in Flame City to know that such a strange shop had just opened, this shop didn't sell firewood, rice, oil, salt, weapons, armor, but books!
This makes them puzzled, although a large part of the people in Flame Formation can already write their own names, and a small number of people can already read the articles by heart, but this one represents how much their education level has improved, but it can make them less deceived in their daily life, and they have not yet realized the benefits that culture brings to them.
Many people are not interested in this thing, this thing can't be eaten or drunk, can it be taken home as an ornament? It's really an idle convulsion, and for a while, this bookstore called Qingxian Bookstore has become the weirdest place in Flame City, and some people interpret the purpose of this store according to the meaning of the storefront plaque, that is, this store will come to the store with nothing to do.
There are everyone in the world, and they look down on them, so naturally there are some people who want to see the strange.
Corey Telly was a merchant, but in his heart he always wanted to restore the honor of his ancestors, and he thought that his ancestors were also famous and famous, Lord! Well, though the title was smaller, he was always a nobleman, very different from the laity of the land.
But the reality taught him harshly and let him know that dreams don't come true all the time.
He can't say that he is powerless, but he doesn't have a resolute heart, he can't be said to be the laziest one when he first cultivated, but he won't be diligent anywhere, so he gradually sank, buried in the vast sea of people, and became the most ordinary one in the sea of people. Fortunately, the education of the ancestors still has a certain foundation, at least his knowledge is very powerful compared to those ordinary people, after several efforts, he finally became a qualified businessman, well, not rich, compared to ordinary people, it is much stronger, and it is still very ordinary among businessmen.
He had known about the opening of a new quirky bookstore in Flame City, but he really didn't have time to take a look at the shocking shop with its deep pockets. But this morning he was done with the last thing he had done, and he was very bored, and when he thought of the bookstore, he suddenly became curious and decided to go and watch it.
The storefront is very neat, and the inside is also very neat, but there is a sense of knowledge more than other stores, and he can see that the style of the entire store has never appeared in the world, needless to say, it must be designed by the most famous master craftsmen in Flame City, who doesn't know that Flame Cheng has the most famous house designers, and the asking price of these famous designers is also notoriously expensive, even some small nobles dare not think that they will have a house designed by the master of Flame City's house design.
When I entered the store, I saw rows of bookshelves, on which were neatly placed books, all with one title, The Count of Monte Cristo, and a sign next to it that said you could read a few words.
Since he could read it, Corey Telly was not polite, reached out and pulled out a copy and opened it.
Before he had time to read the written contents, Corey Telly was stunned by the feeling of his own hand, so thin, so slippery, this touch, it was even more comfortable than his own mother-in-law's skin, and he thought it was a book made of parchment!
Stabilizing his mind, Corey Telly opened the page, and a faint fragrance came into his nose, and for a while Corey Telly only felt that his mind was extremely clear, and all distractions were gone.
Corey Telly was tempted to marvel more, but soon the written content drew him in.
The Count of Monte Cristo, Mo Xuan did not copy all according to what Alexandre Dumas wrote, after all, the environment in this world and on the earth is still different, and in order to increase the sense of substitution of some people, Mo Xuan added the beginning of the waste material flow very bloody, it is nothing more than that the protagonist does nothing to achieve, he can only helplessly rely on his own wisdom to do business, when there is a small achievement, he is involved in political changes, and suddenly he is imprisoned, and all kinds of difficulties surround the protagonist・・・・・・ and then a series of ups and downs of the plot begins to stage。
Boom, Corey Terry twisted his neck knuckles and made a loud sound, but it was that his neck had been frozen for too long.
Gently closing the book, Corey Terry was still immersed in the Count of Monte Cristo, whose wisdom and character fascinated him deeply.
"It turns out that an ordinary person can live such a wonderful life!! "Corey Telley was so excited, wishing that he would become the Count of Monte Cristo at this moment.
The sense of substitution, too much substitution, whether it is the identity of a businessman or the powerless physique, it is very similar to him, this is simply the life of his dreams!
"How much does this book cost!!!!" Corey Telly shouted loudly, ignoring the two big words "quiet" written on it, and even the green tendons on his neck jumped up.
"A gold coin. The owner of the bookstore said indifferently.
Is a gold coin a lot? A gold coin is really nothing to Corey Telly, and it costs a few silver coins to even make a parchment scroll that has nothing written on it!
"It's so cheap, it's just too cheap. Instead of being excited, he felt a wave of irritation, and he dared to say that he would buy the book if it sold for a hundred gold coins, and now he only needed one gold coin, which was the feeling of insulting his idol.
Then Corey Telly thought, isn't it cheap? Thinking of this, Corey Telly got excited: "Load me with a car, oh! As he spoke, he heroically untied the money bag on his waist and slapped it on the counter in front of him.
The advocate counter is Benedict from the Chamber of Commerce, called Fernando, originally he was very reluctant to come here, all of a sudden into a strange industry, far away from his familiar life who wants, if it weren't for the fact that he can go home every day, he would have strongly asked to be transferred to other places, and these days are a little unreasonable, no one even came to buy the books here, boring days made him nap or nap.
Until today, a customer came, when the customer asked about the price of the book, Fernando was still very worried, you must know that as a shopkeeper, at least you must understand the cost of your own products, these books only have the capital of dozens of copper coins, I heard that they are made of some very cheap things, and the cost of dozens of copper coins is sold at the price of a gold coin.
Super profiteering, that's what Fernando said about these books in supplies.
"Two cars?" Fernando suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, what is the concept of two cars, one car can be loaded with thousands of books casually, can you eat these two cars?
It's not that Fernando suspects, as a shopkeeper, Fernando's eyesight is not bad, and it is easy to see that the clothes on this body are not very rich people.
Fernando tactfully put his words out.
Corey Telly woke up from his madness and went back with the most of the gold in his purse to buy hundreds of books.
