By November, most of the crew's filming work had been completed, and the rest of the filming was mainly due to the fact that some snow scenes were more troublesome and needed to wait until it snowed to shoot, so the crew's filming arrangements during this period were relatively loose, and they only filmed one scene in three or five days, in order to wait for the snow.

On November 8th, Liu Qing and He Fatzi were going to the county to buy, and Zhou Yan also went with the car.

Recently, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the consumption rate of melon seeds on Gong Li's side is getting faster and faster, Zhou Yan is going to go to the county with Liu Qing to buy a little more at one time, and he also wants to see if the county can buy the latest issue of "Flower City", the sample issue sent by the magazine has not yet arrived, and it is estimated that it will not arrive in November.

Even if there are no such things, Zhou Yan wants to follow and see, he has been on the set for several months, but he has not been to the county once, and the filming will end soon, and if he doesn't go, he won't have a chance.

When the car arrived in the county, Liu Qing put Zhou Yan down.

"The bookstore is right in front of you, you walk along this road and you'll see it in a moment. I'll go shopping with the fat man, and you can go shopping by yourself, and we'll meet here at eleven o'clock. ”

"Okay."

After Liu Qing and the others left, Zhou Yan walked forward in the direction Liu Qing said.

Just two or three hundred meters away, Zhou Yan saw a Xinhua bookstore.

This year, the most is Xinhua Bookstore, there are few other bookstores, but many people do not go to bookstores to buy books, and newsstands and stalls are the first choice for most people.

The Xinhua bookstore looks like it has just opened, with a red cloth strip on the door, and the furnishings inside the bookstore don't look much different from other stores, with bookshelves placed against the walls and an old-fashioned counter in front of it.

If you want to buy a book, you need to tell the teller which book you want through the counter, and then the teller will give it to the customer, which greatly reduces the theft, but also increases the complexity of buying books and the manpower of the bookstore.

Of course, it does not mean that Xinhua bookstores are all in this mode, and Xinhua bookstores in big cities still have open bookshelves.

Because it is this sales model, there is naturally no area for people to read in the bookstore, Zhou Yan simply walked around, walked to the counter, and said to the teller, "Sister, bring me a copy of "Flower City". ”

The teller was a woman in her thirties and forties, because there were not many customers in the store, she was fiddling with her hair, and when she heard Zhou Yan call her eldest sister, she was always unhappy, "Whoever is your eldest sister, just scream." ”

Zhou Yan changed it when he knew his mistake, and immediately changed his words with a smile, "Miss, please bring me a copy of "Flower City". ”

Hearing the word Miss, the teller's expression softened a little, but his tone was still a little impatient, "The price of "Flower City" has risen, three yuan five. ”

The price of "Flower City" increased last year, and it suddenly rose from two cents a piece to three dollars and five cents a piece, and the price increase was very large.

A lot of people come to buy it, and they are not happy to hear that the price has risen so much.

The teller had quarreled with people many times about this, so she was impatient when she heard that someone wanted to buy "Flower City".

"Well, get a copy." Zhou Yan took out three yuan and five cents.

The teller took the money and took the magazine to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan didn't stay in the bookstore for long, in his opinion, this broken bookstore is definitely one of the obstacles to the development of Chinese literature, and it will be a headache to stay for a second.

Walking out of the bookstore, Zhou Yancai opened the magazine and soon found "The River Wet in the Rain" on the catalog, the author Zhou Chan.

Zhou Yan looked for it according to the table of contents and quickly read the article, but the magazine did not delete the article, and published it almost word for word.

After reading "The River Wet by the Rain", Zhou Yan took the magazine in his hand and weighed it, everyone increased the amount without increasing the price, "Flower City" is good, not only the price increase, but also the volume has gone down, compared with before, the weight of the magazine is at least two percent less.

But this is also no way, the original price of "Flower City" is two cents a piece, but it is enough for three or four hundred pages, and I am afraid that this price will not even make back the cost of production.

Later, even if the price rose to three yuan five, "Flower City" could not break even, in order to survive, began to advertise for magazines, and now the inner page and even the cover of "Flower City" from time to time will appear hotels, tourism and other promotional advertisements.

Perhaps "Flower City" magazine also hoped to keep the literary world simple, but in the end, it still did not withstand the wave of materialism.

Zhou Yan doesn't have any special feelings about this, as long as the articles in it are good enough, it's okay to publish some advertisements, otherwise who will pay them the manuscript fee?

Putting the magazine in his satchel, Zhou Yan walked along the street again, and then he wanted to buy melon seeds for Gong Li.

There are many fried shops in the county, and Zhou Yan found a family with more than 30 catties of melon seeds.

When he met a big customer like Zhou Yan, the boss was also very happy, and directly gave Zhou Yan the snakeskin bag containing melon seeds, and also added two taels of fried peanuts for free.

Because the melon seeds were too heavy, Zhou Yan first deposited the melon seeds in the fried goods shop, traveled lightly, and walked around the county casually.

The county seat of Qixian County is not big, the most prosperous street, from the street to the end of the street, it takes less than ten minutes, but in these hundreds of meters of the street, the fireworks are full.

Whether it is a big vendor or a small vendor, they will stand at the door of the store and open their mouths to shout, and each house has its own rhythm, neither messing with itself, nor wantonly interfering with other houses, from the street to the end of the street, the shouting of each house can be heard clearly, and there will be no chaos.

After walking for a while, Zhou Yan suddenly smelled a pungent smell, and he followed the taste to find it.

The source is a fertilizer shop, which sells a little pesticide and seeds, and the shopkeeper is a middle-aged uncle, who greeted Zhou Yan very warmly when he saw Zhou Yan coming: "Boss, what do you want?" ”

"Look at the compound fertilizer."

Zhou Yan rubbed his eyes, he just felt the pungent smell outside, but when he arrived at the store, he felt that his eyes were smoked and couldn't be opened, and the irritating gas kept hitting his tear ducts, and tears would flow out at any time.

The shopkeeper originally spoke the local dialect of Qi County, but when he heard Zhou Yan speak Mandarin, he also changed to Mandarin with a strong accent, "What kind of compound fertilizer does the boss want?" What is it used for? ”

Zhou Yan originally wanted to talk to the boss for a while, but he couldn't stay in this store, so he went straight to the point, "Boss, where did you get your fertilizer from?" ”

As soon as he heard Zhou Yan ask this, the boss's face changed suddenly, and he said vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?" ”

The boss suspected that Zhou Yan was a competitor and came to inquire with him about the source of goods.

Zhou Yan could probably guess the boss's concerns, smiled and took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to the boss, although the boss was still vigilant, but when he saw that Zhou Yan took out Hongta Mountain, he couldn't help but take it.

"Boss, don't get me wrong, I'm an agricultural company, and recently our company is promoting a fertilizer additive, I want to ask you who the source is, to see if I can sell them some goods."

As soon as he heard that Zhou Yan was selling goods, the boss relaxed his vigilance, took out a match and lit the cigarette, "What brand are you?" ”

"Jin Kela, has the boss heard of it?"

"Jin Kela?" The boss shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, it's a new brand." ”

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "The new brand is right, but our products are very good, and now the United States, Britain and France are using Jinkela, and the fertilizer is mixed with Jinkela, and the yield of wheat per mu is 1,800." ”

"One thousand eight, blow you!" The boss pouted, and then revealed the news to Zhou Yan, "We have a big fertilizer factory in the south of the city, if you want to sell goods, you can go there to try your luck." ”

……

When Zhou Yan came out of the fertilizer store, he was holding a note with the address and contact information of the Chengnan fertilizer factory.

The reason why he asked this was because he heard Liu Qing and them talking about the snow on the road today, saying that the snow might not be able to wait for a while.

If you can't wait for the snow to fall, you can only replace it with something else, and fertilizer is one of the alternatives.
