Going to immortality inexplicably

Chapter 84 Building a Library
"Map is an officially controlled product. Except for the city lord's palace, ordinary nobles rarely have a complete map, and it is impossible for a bookstore like ours to have one."

This was a dark room with no lights on. Even though it was broad daylight, there was no light.

The middle-aged man's voice sounded in such a dark space, with some echoes, and it sounded a little penetrating.

If it were at night, it might be even more permeable.

Fan Xiaoxiao was very calm and did not answer.

"Girl, can you tell me what you want the map to do?"

"Forget it," before Fan Xiaoxiao could respond, he immediately denied, "It's better that I don't know."

"Other than the City Lord's Mansion, the only big families that own the map now are the Fu family, the Cheng family, and the Youhu family."

"Which Chen?"

"Of course it's the city in the city lord's palace."

Is there anyone named Cheng?
Fan Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that another Chen family would pop up in Kongling City. Isn't that one of the most common surnames in China?
"So how do I get a complete map?"

Because it was a dark environment with no light, Fan Xiaoxiao's appearance was hidden in the shadows. Hearing Fan Xiaoxiao's cold voice, the bookstore owner had the illusion that he was facing a martial arts master of his own age.

Damn it, I'm just scaring myself. It's obvious that the other party is a little girl and she looks like an ordinary girl. It seems that it's really too dark here and I should light a lamp.

"The maps will also be updated every few years. Those families have some old maps that have been eliminated. According to the rules, these old maps need to be burned, but there are also a small number of them that are secretly hidden by some of the children of those families, and then It just flowed out.”

The obsolete old map may be a little outdated, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can see some general landforms.

"So how do you get this eliminated map?"

"You have better luck. A few days ago, a young master from the Cheng family got an old map, but he didn't put it here with me. He just asked me to let it go because he has a good relationship with me. If anyone wants it, 100 Two pieces of silver."

Fan Xiaoxiao took a breath of air in time. If he was indifferent after hearing 100 taels of silver, it would not be the reaction that a normal person should have.

"100 taels? Why didn't he grab it?"

"Haha, things are rare and valuable. There is a market for such things but they are priceless. Some people still need them."

"Can't it be cheaper?"

"No, because you are now a distinguished customer of our bookstore, so my handling fee is waived."

Bah, only a devil can believe it!
In this kind of secret transaction, both parties have to go through an intermediary, and both parties will pay a favor.

The normal market price of a map is probably only a few cents, but because it is a prohibited item, its value has increased hundreds of times.

In fact, although the bookstore owner could not see Fan Xiaoxiao's true background, he was certainly not short of money if he could buy so many books in one go, and the books he bought did not include those life-or-death romance stories that aristocratic ladies like to read. He had a very good impression of this girl. At least she was someone who really liked reading.

The bookstore owner also disagreed with the map controlled by the City Lord's Mansion, which caused them to lose a large number of customers. Many people just like to study geographical mountains and rivers, but without a map, these people lack the necessary tools.

Although there is no status for women in the Black Wind Continent, there are still very few women who are as courageous as men, but there is no suitable stage for them to display their strength.

The little girl in front of him gave him the feeling that she had a courage that was not inferior to that of a man. Although the girl didn't show anything, he could smell a unique smell with his businessman's keen sense of smell.

That's why he was willing to help this girl. If he could make good friends with her, she would definitely give him more feedback in the future.

This is businessman's intuition.

"How do we close the deal?"

Fan Xiaoxiao compromised. There was no other way. It was impossible for controlled goods to have normal prices. If he didn't accept it, he might never get a second chance.

Anyway, I am a rich person now, and if I have money, I can do whatever I want.

"I don't want you to pay a deposit in advance. Come here tomorrow and come to me directly. I will give you the map."

"Ok, thank you!"

Fan Xiaoxiao walked out of the bookstore, followed by the handsome clerk who ran diligently back and forth. The young man got the bookstore's special cart, and then loaded the dozen or so packages of books that Fan Xiaoxiao bought into the cart one after another.

I have to say that the animal carts in the bookstore are much better than those rented animal carts. Those rented animal carts are mainly used to pull people. A strong animal pulls a carriage. If two people are seated, there will be no room for anything. Goods.

Fan Xiaoxiao bought more than a dozen large bags of books, each weighing about [-] kilograms. The weight of these books has exceeded the weight of two people. If two more people are added to it, those rental beasts cannot pull it. .

The bookstore's special cart is mainly used for hauling goods. The carriage is sturdier and much wider than those for rent. After loading more than a dozen bags of books, it is more than enough for two people.

What's more important is that the animal cart in the bookstore is pulled by two strong animals and has a professional driver.Brother Hui opened his eyes wide in surprise when he saw Fan Xiaoxiao buying so many books at once. Can so many books be used as food?

"Go slowly, girl, welcome to our bookstore next time!"

After the handsome clerk and the driver loaded all Fan Xiaoxiao's books onto the cart, they paid great attention to showing a standard smile and greetings attentively.

Fan Xiaoxiao waved her hand and sent away the rental car waiting at the door of the bookstore. Then, she and Brother Hui took the bookstore's car back to their new home.

This trip was very rewarding. Not only did I buy a lot of good books, I also got the whereabouts of the map.

Since it is an official map, it is definitely not the kind of sketch that old man Canggu can't see clearly from the southeast to the northwest. I just don't know whether it is the map of Kongling Island, the map of Kongling City, or the map of the Black Insect Empire?
It would be perfect if there was a complete map of the Black Wind Continent.

Fan Xiaoxiao was in a happy mood and was preparing to clean up a side room and use it as a library.

Brother Hui took the initiative to come over to help, and even grandma came over to help clean the room, while the little girl Cao'er walked around several big bags curiously.

She tentatively touched the outer packaging and found that the tentacles were hard. She didn't know what they were, but she couldn't smell the aroma of food, so she definitely wasn't eating. She finally left these big bags disappointed.

When Tiedan and the others came back, they found the newly tidied side house, heard about Fan Xiaoxiao's feat of buying books, and then saw those big bags piled high, thinking that these books might become something they must learn, one by one. I wailed unconsciously.

"Let's order a few bookshelves. When all these books are placed on the bookshelves, our library will be officially established."

Tiedan immediately took out his notebook and wrote it down. He was now Teacher Fan's best student. He immediately wrote down the teacher's instructions in his notebook to avoid forgetting them accidentally.

Everyone gathered together for a brief meeting to share their gains and findings.

Grocery stores have everything, but the real core is food and use.

There is a huge difference between nobles and commoners, and the things they eat and use are very different, so it is impossible for things from the two levels to appear in the same store at the same time.

As a result, the stores of noble supplies are exquisite and brilliant, and the products inside are also exquisitely packaged.

Stores for civilian supplies generally have little decoration, and the products are not packaged. They are directly stored in buckets and other utensils, and they can be large or small.

However, after comparison, the products are actually similar, and the noble products just have added packaging.

For example, salt, which civilians buy in bulk, costs thirty colored shells per pound. You need to bring something to pack.

The salt in the aristocratic shop is packaged per pound, which costs one penny per pound.

It sounds like thirty colored shells are more expensive than one tael of silver. In fact, ordinary people cannot exchange them for silver. Although the official price is one hundred colored shells for one tael of silver, you can't find it even with three hundred colored shells. A place to exchange money.

Therefore, no one will exchange silver for colored shells, only people who want to exchange colored shells for silver. In this case, it will be impossible to exchange colored shells for silver.

In the black market, there are even situations where one thousand colored shells can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and it is difficult to exchange them.

Therefore, ordinary civilians are also willing to use colored shells to buy things instead of exchanging them for silver.

Of course, the packaged salt in aristocratic stores weighs a real pound, while the bulk salt in civilian stores is weighed less than a pound or two, which is normal.

Fan Xiaoxiao listened to this silently. Kongling City looked more prosperous than Taro City, but underneath it was the same strict hierarchy.

There is no way to solve this situation by yourself, because your goal is to go further and pursue your own path.

Moreover, this kind of deep-rooted hierarchy cannot be solved by one or two people. Fortunately, although Tiejiacun is a civilian, it is not the lowest level. They still have the capital to win the future.

When it comes to things to use, everyone invariably talks about Jiebao.

Because it was something used by nobles, it was not available in civilian shops.

Of course, there are also a few shops that display a few samples and cover them with glass or other devices so that everyone can only look at them but not touch them.

And the price is very expensive. In aristocratic shops, it costs one tael of silver a piece, while in civilian shops, there are only samples, and the price is also marked with one tael of silver.

Ordinary civilians who have a few taels of spare money are basically unwilling to even take a look at it.

Because it is said that some things have evil nature. As long as you take a look, you will be attracted to it, and then the lingering image of that thing will be in your mind.

The reason why the Tiejiacun group noticed Jiebao was because they had Jiebao left by the original owner in their current room, so they naturally had to pay attention to the price.

Jiebao is something that is not available on Taro Island. After their trial, they found that this product is really a good product.
