Chapter 90: The Big Boy Who Sells Newspapers (Part 1)

Seeing this situation, the newsboys could only shake their heads helplessly, and prepared to leave the teahouses and taverns everywhere with the newspapers.

One morning, the newsboy Chunsheng couldn't even sell a single newspaper.

Especially the newsboy who has this kind of experience, he is not the only one.

It can be said that the newsboys in the entire capital have encountered this situation.

The flowers were all over the building, and Chunsheng felt helpless in his heart.

He originally thought that this was more or less a livelihood, and planned to earn a few copper plates a day, save for half a month, and take it back to his wife to tear two feet of flower cloth, so that his wife could have a good year.

Besides, it is almost the end of the year, and the children in the family have not eaten meat for a long time.

It was cold, it was snowing, and it was almost noon.

The newsboy's face was red and blue.

He had a lot of newspapers in his old cloth bag, and he still had a handful in his hand.

All day, no one bought a copy of him, and no one gave him a single penny.

Cold, hungry, shivering, he walked forward.

Snowflakes fell on his long, jet-black hair, which was curly over his shoulders and looked dry, like a bundle of straw.

However, the newsboy did not pay attention to this, and every ninth floor began to prepare lunch, and the smell of roast goose wafted in the street, because this was a good thing he had eaten when he was a child, and the newsboy could not forget this.

It's just that over the years, their family situation has become worse and worse, and they can't even dig much food in the field, so he was forced to have no choice but to make a living as the most newsboy.

The newsboy sat down in the corner of a restaurant, curled up in a ball. she

He felt colder.

But the newsboy did not dare to go home, because he did not sell a single newspaper and did not make a single profit, and if he went home like this, his docile wife would become a tigress.

Besides, it's as cold at home as it is on the street.

They only had a roof above them, and although the biggest crack had been plugged with grass and bark, the wind could still let in.

Slowly, the newsboy found that the restaurant guys looked at him differently.

He knew that if he crouched in this position any longer, the guy at the restaurant would have to drive him away.

He had to reluctantly stand up, move his cold and hard legs, and walk towards the outside of the restaurant.

When the newsboy was about to walk outside the restaurant, suddenly a businessman inadvertently glanced at the newspaper in the newsboy's hand.

Shang Jia couldn't help but rub his eyes.

What did he see?

"Alas! Don't go, man, come and show me. ”

When the newsboy heard this, his eyes instantly glowed.

Could it be that his first business today is finally going to be completed?

If he sells a newspaper, he will be able to reap the difference in the price of a copper plate.

Sure enough, he walked over, and the merchant looked at the headline in the newspaper, and it said, "Shocked! Zhang Ruitu turned out to be such a person! ”

Later, Shang Jia turned over the newspaper and saw a huge headline on it: "Why does the sow of Qian Shisheng's family scream every night, is it a moral degradation or a distortion of human nature?" ”

The subtitle of the article reads, "The Chronicle of Qian Shi's Promotion."

The businessman's eyes widened, is this okay?

But who doesn't want to see such exciting news?

When Shang Jia wanted to continue reading the content, he was said "sorry" by the awake newsboy Chunsheng and took the newspaper back.

Gu Wei

When the merchant saw Chunsheng's actions, he was obviously very dissatisfied.

"Well, what are you doing here?"

"I haven't finished reading it yet!"

Chunsheng showed a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, and quickly explained: "This guest, you also know that what we do is to make a living by selling newspapers, if you read all this content, who will ask us to buy newspapers?" ”

After hearing this, the merchant felt that it was also the same truth.

He reluctantly took out eight copper plates from his money bag and placed them on the table in a row, with a little impatience on his face.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy one now."

"Now, you can bring this newspaper, right?"

Chunsheng glanced at the table, and the eight copper plates were not a lot.

Obviously, Shang Jia was also a little reluctant, and there was still a little pain on his face.

In addition to being able to scold in his heart, "The richer you are, the more stingy you are", Chunsheng didn't have anything else to say, but respectfully handed over a newspaper.

"This lord, look slowly!"

As he spoke, Chunsheng happily picked up the eight copper plates on the table.

These eight copper plates are not much, and even the copper plates that are distributed to him are only one in the end, but it can guarantee that when he goes home, he will not be blamed by the tigress at home.

In fact, the exaggerated action language of this business has attracted the interest of many customers.

Especially when he read the title out loud, all the merchants and other guests gathered around.

It turned out that the so-called Qian Shisheng's sow screamed every night because Qian Shisheng's life was extremely extravagant, and he had to eat the freshest meat.

Within an hour after the pig was killed, if Qian Shisheng didn't eat it, then Qian Shisheng wouldn't eat this pork again.

But before Qian Shisheng went to the court, he was early, and the family made a suitable breakfast for him before he went to the court.

And Qian Shisheng likes to eat meat buns, so Qian Fu can only kill pigs in the middle of the night, which causes the sow to scream every night.

Of course, these are all apocryphal.

This is just a small part of Qian Shisheng's report, and most of the following paragraphs are written that Qian Shisheng is a gentleman of the Ming Dynasty, a villain, crazy corruption and wealth, and it is actually a shameless thing.

However, in addition to scolding the "headline party", this businessman read the content of the newspaper with relish.

After reading one article, Shang Jia couldn't help but read another article.

He found that although the newspaper was only a few pages, it had a lot of content.

The newspaper not only has all kinds of interesting stories about celebrities, but also things such as Qian Shisheng's copying of his home, the appearance of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the customs and travelogues of various places.

There are even special introductions about the products of various places, which is what they are most interested in.

Judging from these contents, he spent these eight copper plates at a loss.

Of course, that's all for later.

After reading one or two articles, the businessman was already surrounded by people.

Some of the guests next to him were fast, and they had already finished reading the article, and they were urging him to turn the page quickly.

But this businessman was not happy when he heard this, he was seeing the most wonderful part, and the rest of the content had not been finished yet, how could he turn the page.

Besides, why should I show the newspaper I bought with my own money to others?

"Alas!" "Go away!" "Go away!" "Sir, I'm leaving."

"You just have to see yourself buy it, what are you doing around me!"
