Chapter 13 Let Bai Zhanfei Tell the Book
Yesterday's storytelling caused a great shock in Qing'an County.

After all, it is unheard of for so many people to gather here just to listen to a novel!

Therefore, there is no doubt that Snow Mountain Flying Fox is completely popular.

Even though it was over, some people still talked about it, and many people even argued endlessly about the last knife.

Today, Lu Si just stepped into the bookstore.

Shopkeeper Liu immediately stood up to greet him, and praised him when he opened his mouth.

"Mr. Lu is really a genius! A book written by Snow Mountain Flying Fox is so soul-stirring! It's amazing."

As soon as they met, shopkeeper Liu praised him endlessly, and his expression couldn't hide his excitement.

Lu Si smiled and said, "It seems that Manager Liu has made a lot of money recently."

Looking at this flattering attitude, he didn't need to think about it, he could guess that shopkeeper Liu made a lot of money, otherwise he wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

Shopkeeper Liu chuckled, and said modestly, "Isn't it thanks to Mr. Lu's blessing? If it weren't for Mr. Lu's Snow Mountain Flying Fox, how could my bookstore be where it is today?"

But after this yesterday, the Snow Mountain Flying Fox, which no one cared about at first, was looted by many people.

He had never seen that scene in so many years, which not only made him feel emotional, but also made a fortune.

As for shopkeeper Liu's confirmation that the letter was written by him, Lu Si was noncommittal.

Regardless of what other people think, anyway, he himself will not admit it.

"Since shopkeeper Liu has made a lot of money, shouldn't he give me my share now?"

Lu Si looked at Shopkeeper Liu.

That's right, the purpose of his coming here today is to ask for silver taels, and he also wants to see how much he has earned during this period of time.

Mentioning this matter, although shopkeeper Liu was a little reluctant, he still squeezed out a smile and said.

"That is, that is, this is what Mr. Lu deserves."

Immediately, he took out the account books of the past few days and handed them to Lu Si.

Lu Si took a look and couldn't help taking a breath, thinking that it's no wonder shopkeeper Liu is reluctant.

Dare to make too much money!

He took a look, and there were nearly 500 taels of silver in the account alone!
Calculated on the basis of one tael of silver and five hundred cash, each book sold for one hundred cash would have to sell thousands of copies, which shows how good the business of this bookstore has been recently.

But after thinking about it, Lu could understand it.

After all, Qing'an County has a population of 10,000+. Even though one hundred coins is not a small number, some people can still afford it, so it is not surprising that so many copies have been sold in just a few days.

And this is just the beginning.

You must know that even if the "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" has been finished, it does not mean that this book is worthless.

In fact, there will always be some people who haven't seen or heard of it.

As time goes by, it is inevitable that I will buy a copy.

It is no exaggeration to say that a good book is like a cash cow, which can bring a steady stream of money to the other party.

"According to the previous regulations, you are three and I am seven. After deducting the cost, it shouldn't be too much for me to take 300 taels."

Lu Si smiled and looked at each other.

Shopkeeper Liu's face shook violently, revealing the pain in his heart, but he still took out the silver and handed it to Lu Si, smiling dryly.

"It should be, it should be. Mr. Lu, this is your share."

Lu Si took it over and saw that it was actually a bank note from 'Dabao Bank', with a full 500 taels on it.

He knew about the Great Treasure Bank. It was said that it was spread all over the thirteen prefectures of Tiansheng, and even the farthest Northland, Xisha and other places could be circulated without hindrance.

And each bank note has a special mark, it is almost impossible to imitate, so the reputation has been excellent for many years.

However, to Lu Si's surprise, the other party gave him a full 500 taels of silver.

"Shopkeeper Liu, is this?"

Lu Si raised his head and looked at the other party in surprise.

Shopkeeper Liu laughed quickly and said, "Mr. Lu is very talented. A copy of 'Snow Mountain Flying Fox' has caused a sensation in the entire Qing'an County. The small store can make such a profit because of Mr. Lu's book. A little bit of meaning is justified."

After a pause, he rubbed his hands and said, "I just hope that if Mr. Lu still has such books in the future, don't forget about my little shop."

That's right, the reason shopkeeper Liu gave so much money so cruelly was to plan for the future.

This Lu Si just made him a lot of money with just one book. It is conceivable that if there are such books in the future, wouldn't he make a lot of money?

So no matter what, you have to have a good relationship with the other party.

As soon as Lu Si heard it, she understood that shopkeeper Liu dared to invest for the future.

"So, no one should be underestimated in this world."

Lu Si felt emotional in his heart.

I remember the first time I met this Shopkeeper Liu, he was very stingy. Who would have thought that he would be so generous now?
It can be seen that although the other party is greedy for money, he is not short-sighted. No wonder he has been able to work in Qing'an County for so long.

"Since shopkeeper Liu is so polite, then Lu will be disrespectful. If there are books in the future, he will be the first to come to shopkeeper Liu."

Lu Si laughed, as a promise to the other party.

This remark made him overjoyed immediately, and he quickly said: "Then thank you, Mr. Lu."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Afterwards, Lu Si turned around and left the bookstore.

After leaving the store, Lu Si thought about the recent income of the inn, plus the current bank notes, the money in his hand might be as much as thousands of taels of silver.

This is not a small amount in Qing'an County.

"Unexpectedly, I have been in this world for less than a month, and there are faint signs of becoming a rich second generation."

Lu Si smiled broadly, put the banknotes in her arms, and walked towards the inn.

As soon as he arrived at the inn, Lu Si saw Bai Zhanfei sitting bored in the middle of the inn, and felt very surprised.

I don't know why this Snow Mountain Flying Fox has finished speaking, why is this Bai Zhanfei still running to the inn.

He doesn't think it's the food here that attracts the other party. He has been eating it for almost half a month. Even if it is delicacies from mountains and seas, he will get tired of eating one day, not to mention that what he taught the cook is not really delicacies from mountains and seas.

"I said that the book is finished, why are you still here? Could it be that you really plan to rely on me?"

Lu Si stepped forward and smiled.

Bai Zhanfei looked up at him, snorted and didn't speak.

In fact, he himself didn't know why he came here.

Ever since he finished listening to the book, Bai Zhanfei felt lifeless. He always felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost his soul, and he couldn't arouse interest in doing anything.

Looking at Bai Zhanfei's appearance, Lu Si can roughly guess why without asking.

It's nothing more than nostalgia for this book.

Back then, when I read a good novel, I was so reluctant to part with it, and I always felt that the end was too hasty.

However, Lu Si had nothing to do about it.

Anyway, as time goes by, it will get better.

Turning around, Lu Si was about to leave.

"Hey!"

But he didn't want to be stopped by Bai Zhanfei behind him.

"What's wrong?" Lu Si turned around.

Bai Zhanfei was a little hesitant, and said: "I said, don't you think this inn has become a lot empty recently? Should you think of a way, I always feel that there is no meaning at all now."

As he said that, he looked around and saw that it couldn't compare with the lively scene a while ago.

Lu Si was amused, this guy even cared about his own inn.

But to be honest, since Snow Mountain Flying Fox finished speaking, the inn has indeed become much deserted.

Although it is not that there is no guest, it is very different from before.

In fact, Lu Si was not surprised at all.

After all, most people came here to listen to the book, now that the book has been finished, the attraction of the inn to some people is naturally greatly reduced.

"What can you do?"

Lu Si smiled and glanced at him.

Bai Zhanfei said casually: "Actually, I think you can continue to talk, even if everyone has heard it, but it is better if someone talks here than to stay here dryly."

He just casually said that he simply felt that the inn was too deserted.

But these words fell into Lu Si's ears, but it made him feel agitated, and suddenly felt that Bai Zhanfei's words seemed to have some truth.

Now that the time to unlock the next novel is not yet known, it is unreasonable for me to let the inn be deserted like this, so I might as well continue to tell it again.

As Bai Zhanfei said, it is better to have someone to teach than to sit here, and it can also add popularity to the inn.

And even though some people have already heard it, it doesn't mean they don't want to listen to it again, and there are always some people who haven't heard it.

This is like storytelling in the previous life. Each story may have been told several times, but after all, some people still like to continue listening.

It's just that storytelling is a hard job, and it takes less than half an hour to talk about it. Lu Si doesn't want to go on like this every day.

Even if others are not tired of it, he probably has to talk about it himself.

"It seems that if we continue to talk, we need to find another person."

When Lu Si was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Bai Zhanfei beside him, and his eyes lit up.

I thought to myself that there is a ready-made candidate here.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bai Zhanfei's heart was trembling when he saw him, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Lu Si looked at him with a smile: "I wonder if Young Master Bai is interested in telling stories with me?"
