"Sir, these are all good books at the moment, they are originally of high quality and low price, it just so happens that the small store is cutting prices and making profits these days, you can choose at will, and you will be satisfied." ”

After the store introduced it, seeing that Yunsu didn't speak or leave, he knew that it was possible to negotiate a business, so he simply came up with a trick of cutting prices and making profits.

"How do you price these hundreds of new books?"

Yun Su pointed to a few cabinets of books around him, all of which were not expensive and of all categories.

When the store heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, this is a big customer.

"Mr. has a good eye, this book fairy has always had very high requirements for books. These books are beautifully printed and have excellent content, which is quite popular at the moment. ”

The shopkeeper took out the abacus and began to crackle and calculate, this book is hundreds of texts, that book is two taels, only to hear the abacus louder and faster, hundreds of books are counted, ordinary people have long been confused.

"Guest officer, the original price totaled eight hundred and thirty-five taels of silver, and after cutting the price and making profits, it was a total of seven hundred and fifteen taels of silver. ”

The pricing of a few hundred books naturally can't escape Yunsu's eyes, and the abacus is not wrong, but whether the price is fair or not is a question mark.

"This book of "Tongyu Lu", you only sold it for 400 yuan a month ago, and today you count it as 600 yuan. There is also this "Stone Forest Essay", the purchase price is only 280 yuan, but the calculation just now is 450 yuan. ”

Bulk trading, under normal circumstances, if you are not an old customer, you generally have to bargain repeatedly, and the boss of this book fairy is about the same meaning.

But Yunsu was too lazy to bargain with him, and as soon as he probed his senses, he saw the purchase account book hidden in the counter, as well as the price book that cut prices and made profits on weekdays, so he naturally saw the purchase price and the promotional prices on weekdays.

It is understandable that businesses seek profits.

But firstly, the money was not enough, and secondly, he didn't want to be the wronged boss for no reason, so Yunsu drunkard didn't mean to drink, so he deliberately deceived him.

"This, this ......"

The shopkeeper panicked, this person is not very old, he is so shrewd, he naturally remembers the selling price and purchase price of the two books, but how does this person know, the purchase price is easy to say, as for the selling price, I think it was his friend who came to buy the book.

Seeing that the business was going to be yellow, this was a big deal, and I knew that I couldn't fool it, so I couldn't help but secretly scolded myself for being blinded by the lard just now, and if I lost this big business, I would lose a lot.

I didn't care about the sky-high price, and waited for someone to pay back the money on the spot. Immediately picked up the abacus again, crackled and clicked, and calculated a new number.

"Mr. is as wise as a torch, and he is also a person who is rich in learning and knows the price of books. Fang Cai accidentally miscalculated, these books are actually only four hundred and eighty-eight taels enough. ”

"Four hundred and eighty-eight taels. ”

Seeing that Yunsu was noncommittal, the shopkeeper then explained: "This price is already extremely fair, and it is also for small profits and quick turnover." Counting the purchase price of the book, the cost of carriages and horses, the salary and rent of the second child, there is not much to earn. ”

Yun Su naturally knew that this price was already very fair, and others were also in business, so he said straight to the point:

"I see that there seem to be a lot of bad books in your backyard?"

"Yes, the two of them are carrying destroyed and damaged books, all of which are some tattered books that are recycled daily by the bookstore, and some of them are in good condition, and the rest are recycled to make paper. ”

The store originally wanted to turn waste into treasure and brag about those bad books, but when he thought of the lesson just now, he simply gritted his teeth and admitted that it was bad books.

"Sir, please come with me. ”

The two of them went into the backyard, and sure enough, they saw tattered books piled up like a hill, either missing pages or insects eating rats, and some were burned by fire and soaked in water.

"Last winter, the landlord of Zhang in Guluo Town was killed and injured by thieves, and the house was also set on fire, and thousands of books in the library were robbed out of these rags by the Zhang clan. ”

The shopkeeper was anxious to make that big business, and after suppressing the profiteering and stealing thoughts in his heart, he spoke like an old man and a real person, a bit like a reader.

"In this way, I like to tinker with some damaged books on weekdays, and if I use these discarded bad books as an add-on, the book price of four hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver is a lot, and I pay another twelve taels of silver, it will be regarded as buying paper.

If not, forget it. ”

The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and found that this business could be done, those tattered books had already been picked up several times, and it was time-consuming and labor-intensive to use them to make paper, so they just used them to facilitate this business.

"Well, then according to what Mr. said, in fact, contemptible people are also people who read, recycling old books is to make some money, and secondly, I can't bear to let these books be ruined, but the craftsmanship is not refined, unlike Mr. who really understands books and loves books, is knowledgeable, has excellent craftsmanship, and knows how to repair books.

Just now, the second child in the store also carried two baskets to remove the paper pool, and there were also two baskets in the kitchen for the fire, so I asked them all to carry back immediately. ”

Seeing that the business had been agreed, the store immediately smiled, and talked with Yunsu, a little less utilitarian and more sincere, hoping to make friends with this big customer who bought hundreds of books at one time.

After a short time, the four baskets of broken books were brought back, and the store hired a few horse-drawn carriages to let people wrap them in straw paper in front of Yunsu, and the broken books were packed in more than a dozen hemp bags, paid a little deposit, and agreed to send the books to the door and then pay the final payment.

Coming out of the bookstore, Yun Su smiled faintly, thinking that it was rare to pick up the leak this time, and the slight loss of not buying the 10,000-year-old spirit beard before noon was completely recovered at this time.

Wang Xuanji watched from the sidelines, and he was very happy in his heart, and soon there were a lot of books at home, but he felt that Brother Yun had spent a lot of money, and he was a little worried, and he wanted to take out that little private money to make up for it when he got home.

"Let's go, just go around, and go home. ”

Zixia Xiangyun's joy was not over, and he bought a bunch of good books, Yunsu was in a good mood, and took the two of them to wander around the city, aimlessly and casually.

......

As the sun sets, the beggars in Yuyang City are dispersing in groups, and when night falls, they are looking for a place to sleep.

"Grandpa, drink some water. ”

The girl in green begged for another bowl of water from the shop on the street and handed it to the white-haired old man.

There was a small stool in front of the old man, also from the kind shopkeeper, and there were still unsold roots in the square scarf on it.

"The grace of dripping water, the natural spring reciprocates, Xian'er, go and send a whisker to that shop." ”

"Hmm. ”

The girl in green took a whisker and went to thank the shopkeeper, who gladly accepted the thanks, but did not ask for a whisker.

"Just a bowl of water, you don't need to thank you. Little girl, this, these turnip whiskers, they still look good... Not bad. You can keep it and sell it slowly. ”

The shopkeeper looked at the old and the young was really pitiful, so depressed and not like those beggars begging, and they couldn't sell any radish whiskers, thinking that these two hard-working people had ambition, and they were reduced to selling radish whiskers, and they refused to beg, so at noon, they sent a plate of leftover buns and two bowls of hot boiled water.

With a sad face, the girl in green took the root whisker back to the old man and put it back on the scarf.

"Alas, you can't give it away, where can you sell it. ”

The old man regretted it, he knew that it was so, even if it was sold cheaply, he would have sold it to the good Samaritan in the morning.

"Grandpa, it's useless to be a fairy......"

The girl in green pouted, extremely sad, she didn't know that this money was so useful, and she was afraid that she would have to sleep on the street tonight.

The first time I sold something in my life, it was obviously a treasure, but I couldn't sell it anyway.

At noon, a doctor from the hospital passed by, saw the pitiful appearance of the two, found those roots, picked up one and sniffed it, but did not buy it.

The girl in green was in a hurry, and learned a sentence from the shop next to her, saying that she could taste it first and buy it later, but the other party didn't look back, and walked faster.

"Xian'er, I don't blame you. Although these roots are extraordinary, they also need someone to know the goods, and they must not shout what they are, which will lead to death.

Grandpa is seriously injured and needs to find a place to recuperate, Xian'er, you have low mana, and you have been imprisoned by those traitors with a spiritual rope, not to mention magic, I am afraid that even the wind and rain and cold air will not be able to stop it, if you can't sell these roots, you can only learn from those beggars, and first find a place to shelter from the cold wind and cold dew. ”

The two of them just squatted under the eaves of the street, watching the sunset slowly set, and there were fewer and fewer people on the street, even the shop was about to close its doors and go home, and the stool was returned, and the girl in green was holding a square scarf, wanting to cry without tears.

Since I was a child, I have never been so lonely.

What the girl doesn't know is that her grandfather's heart is even more sad at this time, he has lived for 10,000 years, when has he been so miserable, if there is no turnaround, I am afraid that he is about to become a beggar regardless of his face.

"Huh?!"

At this moment, I saw a personable figure, with a girl with a baby on her back, strolling past the corner of the street, and it was about to pass in a blink of an eye, without even looking at this side.

The girl in green didn't know where she got the courage, so she stood up and stumbled after her.

"Sir, please stay. ”
