Chapter 57: Clichés

In front of the bookshelf where the "Peony Story" was placed, a young girl dressed as a small jasper, and she was surprised when she found "The Peony Story".

"Hey, didn't you say that it is no longer printed, but it is still on sale."

Liu Zhou gave Shi Shi a look and stepped forward to greet the guests, while Shi quietly left the study hall and rushed to report Xin Yu.

"Does the girl like "The Story of the Peony"?"

Looking at the guy who came over, the girl nodded: "Yes, a few months ago, I came to your bookstore to buy a copy of "The Story of Peony", but it turned out that it was not sold, but I didn't expect it to be available today." ”

Liu Zhou smiled: "It's our owner who wants to print it." ”

"I see." The girl picked up "The Story of the Peony" and walked to the counter, "Check out." ”

Liu Zhou glanced at the back door, a little anxious.

This girl is so neat in her shopping, and if the owner doesn't come, people will leave.

"The girl doesn't buy a copy of "Painted Skin" anymore? "Painted Skin" is a new book launched by our bookstore, but it is very good, and there are many people who buy it......"

The girl said in her heart that this guy had a lot of words, and said lightly: "Next time, how much is "The Story of the Peony"?" ”

She said, going to dig into her purse.

"Four-four taels of silver!" Liu Zhou changed his words abruptly, and the four hundred wen became four taels of silver.

"How much?" The girl's voice suddenly rose, full of anger, "Your bookstore can't rob money?" When "The Story of Peony" came out, it only cost 400 words! ”

She only brought a few hundred texts, originally I heard that "Painted Skin" was good to buy "Painted Skin", but accidentally found that "Peony Story" was sold, so she temporarily changed her mind.

"I've never heard of a book that can sell for four taels of silver, or it's reprinted!" The girl wiped the dust on the cover of "The Peony", and became even more angry, "There is so much dust falling, this is not easy to meet the buyer and treat people as wronged!" ”

When Xin Yu rushed over, he heard the girl's crisp questioning.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Xin Yu was coming, Liu Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shouted to the owner, saying in his heart If you don't come again, the reputation of our bookstore's black store will spread.

"You're the owner of this bookstore?" The girl looked at Xinyu.

Xin Yu smiled and nodded: "I am." ”

The girl's face was not very good-looking: "Your reprint of "The Story of Peony" costs four taels of silver? ”

Xin Yu glanced at Liu Zhou.

Liu Zhou hurriedly said: "The villain made a mistake for a while, and said something wrong, not four taels of silver, but four hundred Wen." ”

The girl's apricot eyes widened: "What is wrong, you just want to make black money!" ”

Liu Zhou made a gesture and slapped his mouth: "Girl, the villain is really a slip of the tongue." ”

"If it's a slip of the tongue, why didn't you explain it just now?"

"You've been saying that the villain wants to wait for you to finish before explaining. Our host said that guests are not allowed to interject when they are talking. ”

The girl didn't believe it very much, snorted coldly, and pointed to "The Story of Peony": "Four hundred wen, right, settle the bill." ”

Xin Yu stopped Liu Zhou's action of collecting the money, and smiled apologetically at the girl: "Today is our buddy's mistake that ruined the girl's good mood, and this "Peony Story" was given to the girl, which is my apology." ”

The girl's eyes widened unexpectedly, and she hurriedly refused: "How can this work, it should be as much as it should be, I don't take advantage of this." ”

Xin Yu stuffed "The Story of Peony" into the girl's hand, and said with a smile: "How can you take advantage of it, can you buy a good mood for 400 Wen?" The girl took the book, and I was happy to do it. ”

The girl is obviously not very good at this kind of pulling, and when she heard Xin Yu say this, she didn't shirk anymore, and she felt embarrassed, so she said: "I'll buy another copy of "Painted Skin", oh, how much does "Painted Skin" cost? ”

Liu Zhou glanced at Xin Yu, and saw that she didn't signal, so he said truthfully: "Three hundred wen." ”

The girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the money is enough.

The price of the Beijing script is mostly between 200 and 500 wen, and the specific price is related to the reputation of the writer and the number of pages of the script. Half of "Painted Skin" costs 300 Wen, which is a more acceptable price for people.

Liu Zhou went to get "Painted Skin", and Xin Yu asked casually: "I think the girl also likes to read scripts, why didn't she buy "The Story of Peony" in the first place?" ”

The identity of the same woman made the girl feel relaxed, and said with a smile: "I have bought it a long time ago, this was originally bought as a gift, and I would like to thank the owner for his generosity and gave it to me directly." ”

Four hundred wen is not a small jade for a small family like her with limited pocket money.

Xin Yu took the opportunity to say: "My surname is Kou, my name is Qingqing, and the girl calls me by my name." ”

As soon as the girl heard that everyone had reported her name, she didn't think much about it and reported her name: "My name is Ji Cailan." ”

"Miss Ji looks about the same age as me."

The two naturally reported their age, and Ji Cailan was one year older than Xin Yu.

Xin Yu smiled: "Sister Ji, you have a lot of friends around you who like "The Story of Peony"? That's going to help me get the word out. ”

She pointed to the row of "Peony Records", and said helplessly: "I just took over the bookstore and was ignorant, and I printed a lot of "Peony Records", but no one cared about it, and the shelves were dusty. ”

Ji Cailan said embarrassedly: "My friends who like to read books have already bought it, and I bought this copy of "The Story of Peony" to give to my cousin. My cousin actually has a copy of "The Story of Peony", but unfortunately I lost it on the way to Beijing. ”

When Xin Yu heard this, her heart jumped.

On the way to Beijing——

Is the person she is looking for Ji Cailan's cousin?

Suppressing the churning in his heart, Xin Yu still chatted in a casual tone: "Isn't Sister Ji's cousin from Beijing?" I didn't expect "The Story of Peony" to be so popular, and it was sold to other places. ”

Ji Cailan felt a little complacent in her eyes: "At that time, "The Story of Peony" was in demand, and my cousin's book was also bought by me and brought to her. ”

"After that, Sister Ji brought her cousin to buy a script and give you a nine-percent discount."

"How does this work?" Ji Cailan hurriedly waved his hand.

Xin Yu smiled: "Sister Ji and I hit it off at first sight, talking speculatively, Sister Ji don't refuse, let alone small profits but quick turnover." ”

"Then thank you, Sister Kou." Ji Cailan only felt that the beautiful girl in front of her was very pleasing to the eye, and sighed, "It's a pity that my cousin's foot injury is not neat, so she can't come to the bookstore with me, otherwise she will be very happy to make friends with Sister Kou." ”

Listening to Ji Cailan's words, Xin Yu's hand in his sleeve tightened hard, but his face was not revealing at all: "It's okay, I'm in the bookstore on weekdays, Sister Ji, you can come to play anytime you have time in the future." Oh, is Sister Ji's house far away? ”

"It's not far, my house is in the cat alley of Jixiangfang."

After exploring, Xin Yu didn't ask again, waited for Ji Cailan to settle the account, and sent her out in person.

Liu Zhou touched the stone with his elbow.

"Brother Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu Zhou looked at the door of the bookstore with admiration: "Stone, before you asked the guests who bought "The Story of Peony" how to inquire about the identity of the other party, did you learn?" ”

The owner is really born to do business!
