The boy named Shishi nervously waited for shopkeeper Hu's answer.

"I'll have to ask my boss for instructions." Although shopkeeper Hu felt that the problem was not serious, he didn't make up his own mind and sent his assistant Liu Zhou to ask Xin You for instructions.

Xin You still had an impression of this young man, since he had nothing to do anyway, so he just went to meet him.

When Shi Shi saw Xin You, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Thanks to the money you rewarded, my mother didn't stop her medicine and survived..."

Shopkeeper Hu said from the side: "Boss, this boy's name is Shitou, his mother is much better now, he can leave people, and he wants to come back to work. You see——"

"Stone, you get up first."

Shitou got up very obediently, looking at Xinyou with longing and apprehension.

"I heard from the shopkeeper that you learned rigidity from the master in the bookstore before?"

Xin You's gossiping tone made Shi Shi relax a bit: "Yes."

"Do you like rigidity?"

"like……"

Although Shi Shi answered quickly, Xin You still felt the boy's hesitation.She bent her lips: "Actually, we need a guy who greets guests now."

The boy Liu Zhou looked at Xinyou in astonishment, tears were about to flow down his cheeks.

Boss, are you going to abandon the villain?

Stone couldn't help but glance at Liu Zhou.

Xin You smiled and said, "Liu Zhou can't do it alone."

Hearing this, Liu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I can't do it alone!"

Shopkeeper Hu: "..." Isn't this talking nonsense?

"As long as my boss wants me, I can do anything." Shitou immediately expressed his opinion.

"Then you will greet guests together with Liu Zhou in the future. The wages will be [-]% of Liu Zhou's. After three months, if you do well, you will be the same as Liu Zhou."

"Thank you, master, thank you, master!"

Shi Shi wanted to kneel and kowtow again, but Xin You waved his hand to stop him: "Shopkeeper, please tell Shi Shi what to pay attention to."

As soon as Xinyou left, shopkeeper Hu explained carefully, emphasizing one point: "Did you see "The Story of Peony" on the shelf? If someone comes to buy it, try to find out the identity of the other party. If the person who comes to buy it is a woman, As long as the boss is in the bookstore, report to her immediately."

Although Shitou thought the request was weird, he didn't ask a single word: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I've made a note of it."

Shopkeeper Hu showed a gratified smile: "Don't look at our boss who is young, but he is not an ordinary person. Shitou, you are smart. If you work hard in the future, you will have a good future."

Liu Zhou rolled his eyes silently.

It came again and again, every day he said that the owner was not an ordinary person, and if he asked again, he couldn't tell you.Hmph, he also knows that the owner is not an ordinary person. Can ordinary people make a difference of 1 taels when buying a bookstore?
In private, Shitou asked Liu Zhou: "Brother Liu, when you met a customer who bought "The Peony", how did you find out the identity of the other party?"

"Well——" Facing the young man's eyes full of curiosity, Liu Zhou patted his head, "Didn't you read "The Peony" with a layer of dust on it, where did the guest come from?"

It is true that "The Story of the Peony" is a big seller, but that is why, at the beginning, almost everyone had a copy. Now that Mr. Ping An's "The Story of the Spirit Fox" and "The Butterfly Fairy" have come out, who would buy "The Story of the Peony"? , Many people are still struggling to buy new books.

Let him see that the reprinted "The Peony" is about to hit his hands, or he should count on the new book that the printing shop is busy with.

Regarding the new book to be released, except for shopkeeper Hu and Guanshi Zhao who have read the entire first half of the book, everyone else in the bookstore has no idea. The desertedness of the bookstore makes them anxious to drink the northwest wind at any time.

On an ordinary morning, an ordinary notice was pasted on the ordinary wall outside Qingsong Bookstore, and soon attracted many people to gather around.

It's not surprising, who made Qingsong Bookstore to post notices twice with strange news.

"Hey, there is a new storybook on sale. "Painted Skin"? The name is so weird, what does it mean?"

Looking further down, the man couldn't help but read aloud: "Is the stunning woman a human or a ghost? Is it a beautiful love that the world envies, or a doomed love disaster? The answer lies in "Painted Skin"..."

"Hey, this sounds a bit attractive." A young man dressed as a scholar said in his mouth, and his legs involuntarily walked into Qingsong Bookstore.

"Heh, this Mr. Song Ling is an unknown man, can he really write a good story?" The person who questioned the author frowned and muttered, and walked towards Qingsong Bookstore.

"Hey, didn't you say that Mr. Book Writer is not famous and unreliable?"

The man coughed lightly: "That's what you said, but what's written in the notice is a bit interesting. Anyway, it's only a few hundred coins, so you can just browse through it when you buy it."

The person who asked the question showed a sour look.

I get it, this guy is not short of money.

There are also some who like to read books but do not have a lot of money. Knowing that "Butterfly Fairy" at the opposite bookstore will be upsold in a while, they did not catch up with the first wave of purchases, so they decided to hold on to the copper coins.

If this is the case, the book buyers who came in one after another are enough to make shopkeeper Hu burst into tears.

"Boss, how did you come up with the idea to write that on the notice? The effect is great!"

Obviously, there is a huge difference between what is written in the notice and the feeling after reading it. After thinking about it carefully, it seems to be both right. Don’t worry about people who bought the story book throwing rotten eggs on the door of the bookstore after reading it.

Xinyou smiled without saying a word.

I'm really ashamed to boast, it's all a habit I developed from listening to my mother tell stories since I was a child.At first, in order to arouse her curiosity in listening to the story, my mother came up with these words easily, and as time passed, she also knew them.

My mother once said that her hometown is very far away, and it is impossible to go back so far.I don't know what kind of place it is, there are so many interesting people and interesting stories.

In the Imperial College, Duan Yunlang was lobbying his classmates.

"Qingsong Bookstore's new story books are on sale today, go and have a look."

"No, I don't think a book writer who has never heard of it can write such a good story. Not to mention a waste of money, and a waste of lunch break."

"Yaxin Bookstore's "Butterfly Fairy" was not in time to buy at that time, and I heard that it is about to increase the sale, so it's time to buy "Butterfly Fairy"."

"Take it as a face for my younger brother and cheer for my cousin." Duan Yunlang bowed to his classmates.

He saw Cousin Qing yesterday, and accidentally heard that a new storybook would be released today, so he had to support her no matter what.

Alas, the cousin who loses money every day is so pitiful.

Hearing what Duan Yunlang said, a young man with phoenix eyes couldn't help laughing: "You should have said that earlier. Let's go."

Regardless of whether Qingsong Bookstore's new story book is good or not, friends still have to give some points for their face.

Duan Yunlang and a few classmates were going out. On the way, they met someone who asked curiously. They called them into the team with their thick skin. When they walked out of the Imperial Prison, there were more than a dozen people.

Looking at the crowded Qingsong Bookstore, the phoenix-eyed boy had a weird expression: "Yun Lang, it seems that your sister doesn't really need special support."

Duan Yunlang slowly supported his chin.
