Chapter 266: Nightshade on Black Stone Slope

When they arrived at Heishi Slope, everyone got off the train.

This is the first time Li Banfeng has come to Heishipo, and not long after getting off the bus, he sensed a different atmosphere of the city.

The breath of Heishipo is different from other places, and Li Banfeng has a variety of exquisite skills, and he can deeply feel this difference.

The trouser belt has a smooth and sweet taste, the sea eats the fragrance of food, the Tiemen Fort has a unique tranquil atmosphere, and the green water city has a pungent luxury atmosphere.

The taste of Heishipo is stronger, and there are three main types: smoke, ash, and oil.

The sky here is noticeably darker than elsewhere, and when you leave the station, you can see chimneys everywhere, tall and low.

In an era when electricity could not be used on a large scale, steam was used to the extreme, and coal was the most important "ration" of the steam engine.

There are three major specialties in Heishipo, iron ore, stone, and coal.

Some of these three specialties are shipped to various parts of the state, and some are processed into commodities on the spot.

This determines the special nature of Heishipo, which is a very purely industrial city.

Xiao Chuanzi arrived first, and he had already found a place to live for everyone, Li Banfeng was still looking for a car everywhere, and Xiao Chuanzi had already prepared the car.

It's not a horse-drawn carriage, it's not a rickshaw, it's a steam car.

The steam locomotive pulls two carriages on narrow railroad tracks and travels through the streets.

Isn't this a train?

The only difference from a normal train is that this train is small enough to drive into an alley.

Heishipo is such a city, unlike the roads that extend in all directions in the Green Water City, all the roads here have been turned into railways, although the noise is a little louder, the air is a little worse, but there is a train to sit outside.

This reminded Li Banfeng of the light rail in Yuezhou City, but the light rail is a tram, and I always feel that it is worse than the steam train.

Xiao Chuanzi said: "I heard the workers here say that originally Green Water City also wanted to build a railway in the city, but that group of rich people disagreed, they were noisy and dirty, I don't think it's anything, isn't it just a little coal ash, it's all floating soil, where can it be dirty?" ”

Xiao Chuanzi is a work cultivator, and Black Rock City is simply a holy place for him to practice, and Xiao Chuanzi is very excited about every place he is introduced, although from the outside, these buildings look almost the same, dense, simple, and with rough lines.

The small train traveled for more than 40 minutes, stopped at a station, and everyone got off one after another to the house that Xiao Chuanzi had just bought.

Let's call it a house......

This place is huge.

Entering the gate, there was a courtyard, and inside the courtyard was a behemoth more than twenty meters high.

The behemoth was a gray-white cube with pipes of varying thicknesses and a chimney taller than it sitting.

Outsiders think it's a building, but insiders know that this thing is one of the core equipment of the steam age, and the scientific name is steam generator, commonly known as boiler.

Walking further inside the boiler, Li Banfeng saw parts and semi-finished machine tools scattered on the ground.

There was rust on the parts and machine tools, and Li Banfeng looked at Xiao Chuanzi: "This is a house?" ”

It's clearly an abandoned factory.

Xiao Chuanzi scratched his scalp and said: "Seventh Master, the house you want is not easy to find in Heishipo.

You said that if you want to be able to live in more than 30 people, you have to be private enough not to be too eye-catching, only this kind of place is suitable. ”

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Where to live?" In the factory? ”

"That's not it, there's a building behind the factory."

In the backyard of the factory, there are three-storey buildings, with canteens, bathrooms and toilets on the first floor, and a dozen rooms on the second and third floors.

There are many factories like this in Heishipo, and the residents of Heishipo are basically workers.

The workers worked in the factory during the day, slept in the factory at night, and after starting a family, they took their families to live in the factory, and rarely left the factory on weekdays.

Don't they have a life of their own entertainment other than work?

Yes.

Go to the cinema and watch a movie.

Go to the tavern for a drink.

Buy a newspaper and take a break.

When you have money, go to a special place and find a special person to come once.

When you don't have money, you can buy a magazine yourself and come once.

The workers' time is tight, dance halls, theaters, salons, banquets...... None of these things are for them.

Entertainment suitable for workers, the first is to save time, the second is to be economical, which is also the main reason why the book and newspaper industry in Heishipo is particularly developed, this thing saves money and trouble, and is easy to use.

Li Banfeng said to writers Bai Qiusheng and Yu Wenqi: "You two have been in Heishipo and know the rules here, so you will go through the formalities tomorrow, first open a newspaper and then a magazine." ”

"Procedures?" Bai Qiusheng shook his head and said, "No need for that, it is enough to open a newspaper in Heishipo and have a printing press." ”

Yu Wenqi said: "It's a little more complicated to open a magazine, you have to have a camera. ”

Li Banfeng was surprised: "A printing press can open a newspaper office? ”

Bai Qiusheng said: "Yes! We'll write the manuscript tonight, we'll typeset it tomorrow, and you can arrange for someone to buy the printing press, so that we can almost catch up with tomorrow's evening newspaper. ”

Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time and said: "The newspaper is not open, so let's catch up with tomorrow's evening newspaper?" What about jokes? What do you do to write your manuscripts? Any news? ”

Yu Wenqi said: "The news is easy to say, find a few big newspapers, just copy two, our newspaper mainly sells reviews and stories, how can you not read the news?" The key things have to be written strongly! ”

"Nonsense?" Li Banfeng still didn't understand, "Who is the newspaper that you wrote nonsense to sell to?" ”

The two writers didn't know how to explain, Xiao Chuanzi said: "Seventh Master, I'll take you to the newspaper car, and you will understand." ”

Xiao Chuanzi took Li Banfeng and others to report the car.

The so-called newspaper car is a small house that sells newspapers and magazines, and in Yuezhou, this thing is called a newsstand.

The newsstand on Blackstone Slope is different, there are wheels under the small house, four wooden wheels, and four iron wheels.

Usually the wooden wheels are on the ground, and the stall owner can pull the newsstand to go.

When you get to the railway, you can control the pulley in the pavilion, the wooden wheels are raised, the iron wheels are on the ground, and there is a hook in front of the train, which can be hung on the back of the train, and you can follow it.

Li Banfeng entered the pavilion and glanced at the newspaper.

Li Banfeng recognized the newspapers of the Lu family and the Ling family, but Li Banfeng did not recognize most of the newspapers.

Like the evening newspaper of "One Pole Bright", the name is very distinctive.

Li Banfeng glanced at the headlines: "The fake drama is really done, the queen of the song, Xiao Xiufei, how deep is the play".

The first few sentences of the news tell about the events when the singer Xiao Xiufei was interviewed before the first part of "Blood Blade Detective" was released.

When is this news? That's four months!

Can this still be in the newspaper?

Li Banfeng was very curious, picked up the newspaper and wanted to take a look, but the stall owner immediately stopped him: ""One Pole Bright" is eight cents, you can't read it if you don't buy it." ”

Li Banfeng pointed to the newspapers of the Lu family and the Ling family: "How much are these newspapers?" ”

"The "Morning Post" is three cents, and the "Evening News" is five cents."

"Then why do you sell "One Pole Bright" for eight cents?"

"At this price, the goods are genuine, the report is effective, and Tong Suo is not bullied!"

What kind of report is effective, people call it medicine to work!

Li Banfeng despised the stall owner very much, and paid eight cents to buy a copy of "One Pole Bright".

Don't say it, it's really effective, just after reading the front page, Li Banfeng's pole lit up.

The news on the front page tells in depth the process of Xiao Xiufei entering the play from different angles, the rhetoric is simple, but the content is detailed, the feelings of the male number one, the experience of the female number one, the touch of the photographer, and the memories of the sweeping aunt, all of which are very well spoken, which is more exciting than the movie itself.

Before he could read the remaining editions, Li Banfeng noticed a magazine.

This magazine is called "Bloody Gun Detective V".

My movie is out to three, and his magazine is out to five?

The woman on the cover is very handsome, with a distinctive body and clothing.

The posture is very graceful.

In terms of clothing, there is no clothing.

"How much does this magazine cost?"

"Five pieces of six."

"Too much, right? A movie ticket is only five dollars. ”

The stall owner sneered and said: "I don't understand this, you can watch it once if you buy a movie ticket, and this bloody detective is not allowed to watch it now.

If you buy this magazine, you can read it as many times as you want, and I also included a poster. ”

As soon as the stall owner showed half of the poster, Li Banfeng decided to buy it.

This poster has a conscience.

"I want it, and I want it, and I ...... it"

In a few minutes, Li Banfeng spent more than 100 yuan, and the stall owner was so happy that he gave more than 20 posters alone.

If it weren't for Bai Qiusheng to stop him, Li Banfeng would still want to buy more.

When he returned to the factory, Ma Wu had already ordered someone to clean up Li Banfeng's room, and after studying in the room for an hour, Li Banfeng figured out the book and newspaper industry in Heishipo.

Newspapers are all made up blindly.

The magazine is not made up blindly, it is necessary to find a few girls from the local area, be models, take photos, and then add some background introductions of the girls, as well as their perceptions of life and the future.

Li Banfeng sighed: "Not to mention, these girls are very talented, they write very profoundly, and they are all people with ideals." ”

Yu Wenqi shook his head and said: "Seventh Master, these girls don't know a few big characters, where do they have so many insights?" These are all written by editors, and what they earn is the money on the pen. ”

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "In this way, except for the girl's name that is true, the rest are fake." ”

"That's not it," Yu Wenqi shook her head, "and the girls' names aren't real. ”

Bai Qiusheng said: "In Heishipo, if you want to earn a mouthful of food, the pen has to be hard enough, which is the same as selling art on the ground.

It doesn't matter if you are a writer in the world, or a generation of famous writers, the things you write are good-looking, people come back to buy them, and the things you write are not good-looking, and people will take you at most once, and they will never buy your second book. ”

Yu Wenqi said: "Seventh Master, you may think that these things are not serious, serious things, Heishipo also has them, there are a lot of good stories, and Heishipo has never lacked good books and newspapers." ”

"I think these things are very serious, they are all serious arts, those who know how to do art are good people, and those who know how to appreciate art are also good people, this thing can't be wrong, this place can't be wrong,"

Li Banfeng patted the books and newspapers in his hand, "Newspapers have to be made, magazines have to be made, and when Xiao Chuanzi buys the printing press back in two days, we will start work." ”

"Why are you going in two days," Bai Qiusheng said with a smile, "Chuanzi has been going for more than an hour, and it should be bought back." ”

"An hour, buy a printing press?"

The printing press is not a printer, Li Banfeng has seen the printing press in Puzhou, steam-driven, and it can't fit in two rooms, how can such a large thing be bought back in a blink of an eye?

Chuanzi really bought it back, and it was all assembled.

The press was not large, about the size of two wicker boxes.

Tossing the lady every day, Li Banfeng also has a little mechanical common sense: "This is not steam-driven, this is hand-cranked." ”

Chuanzi said: "The two writers said that they would buy this first. ”

Bai Qiusheng said: "Seventh Master, this is Black Stone Slope, not Green Water City,

The printing of Green Water City is thousands of oceans, we don't need that,

In Blackstone Slope, you have any kind of printing press you want to buy, and this machine should not exceed sixty oceans, right? ”

Chuanzi nodded, "Fifty-seven." ”

"Okay, it's not expensive, Seventh Master, you listen to us, let's use this first, let's change it to a new one when the business is done, the business is not good, and we can't lose much."

Li Banfeng nodded and said: "I'm a layman, and I listen to both of them, so let's bother the two of them to be tired, let's start work immediately, first make newspapers, and then make magazines." ”

Yu Wenqi sighed: "Back then, we relied on this for a living, and now we are famous, but I didn't expect to go back to our old business." ”

Li Banfeng said with a smile: "That's not a price, according to your current worth, I will give you three times the remuneration, double the bonus, and the matter of money will never be disadvantaged to you." ”

Bai Qiusheng praised: "The seventh master is cool to do things, what do you say is the name of our newspaper?" ”

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said: "Since it is an evening newspaper, let's call it "Night Fragrance". ”

Yu Wenqi said: "It's easy to remember, so it's decided!" ”

Several writers immediately got to work and started writing art.

The photographer Ma Wu brought from the crew was not idle, and began to look for girls and shoot art.

As for how to sell newspapers and magazines, Ma Wu and the two writers are experts, so Li Banfeng doesn't have to worry about this.

Li Banfeng went directly to Sanfu Cinema.

The owner is packing up his things and getting ready to move.

The theater was smashed, the guys were beaten, and the Qingshou Association sent someone to give an order, get out of the Black Rock Slope within a month, and not be allowed to come back for the rest of your life.

Li Banfeng took out twenty oceans and stuffed them into the hands of the theater owner: "You pick up the theater and put another bloody detective." ”

"Still put?" The boss shook his head and said, "This master, if I dare to let it go again, this life will be gone, don't embarrass me." ”

Li Banfeng saw that this boss really didn't have the guts, so he didn't embarrass him: "In this way, you can make a price and sell this theater to me." ”

The boss was stunned: "Dare to ask what you call it?" ”

PS: Nightshade is not just the name of the newspaper.
