The windows of the house are a bit small, so they play the role of light transmission, and they are closed all year round.

Zhang Xingming pulled open the door, lowered his head and entered the room. As soon as Leng Ding came in, his eyes were completely dark, and a [-]-watt incandescent bulb was lit inside the room. The contrast with the sun and snow at noon outside was too great.

But the room is very warm, the surrounding fire wall is burning hot, there are cushions on it, and there are a few rows of small benches on the ground in the middle of the room, the kind I nailed with wooden boards, very long, and a row can seat five people. The appearance of six people.

There is a narrow low bed against the wall at the top of the room, and one person can lie down on it. In front of the bed is a large desk, whose legs have been sawed off to lower the height. When a person sits on the bed, his elbows can be placed on the table.

The tabletop is more than one meter wide and nearly three meters long, and it is full of books.

This is the rental bookstore of this era.

The boss, surnamed Chi, is a retired cadre in the open air. He is tall and tall, and his smile is like thunder.

Chapter 294 Jin Gu Wo Liang Wen Jiang Huang (4)

After entering the room and closing the door, Zhang Xingming stood there and closed his eyes for a while, then opened them again, finally getting used to the light in the room.

Fortunately, the boss doesn't smoke, and he doesn't let others smoke in the room, otherwise the room wouldn't be able to stay, of course, he doesn't care about it in Xia Tian.

Looked at the bed, the old man was not there, his youngest daughter was guarding the store, she didn't look like her father at all, Lao Chi's daughter was very petite and beautiful, cheerful, soft-spoken, she was a gangster in this area The girl of our dreams.

When she was reading, she had a habit of constantly touching her collarbone. This action was a sight to behold in this small shop. A group of middle-aged and middle-aged men would take a sneak peek and swallow their saliva from time to time.

Chi Meimei turned her head and glanced at Zhang Xingming, seeing him standing there with his eyes closed, she laughed and said, "Why are you so intoxicated?"

Zhang Xingming also laughed, and said: "I can't help seeing you, sister, are you in a hurry to get married?"

Chi Meimei smiled and said, "Gah?"

Zhang Xingming's eyes got used to it, he walked over and said, "Wait for me for two years, I will graduate in two years."

All the children in the room laughed, and Miss Chi blushed and spat.

Lao Chi is very good at doing business. His books here are not rented by book, but by volume.

He cut up a book, made a cover of kraft paper and bound it chapter by chapter, and put it there, a dime a book.

Then seal the original cover of the book in a plastic bag and hang it on the wall. It is also convenient for people to find the book, just look for it on the wall cover, and then just ask him for the book.

In this way, other bookstores rent a book for [-] cents, but it costs [-] cents to [-] cents here, and even books as thick as Jin Yong's books cost [-] yuan per book.

But students like it, because there is really no pressure to spend [-] cents at a time, but some people can’t get it out if they spend [-] cents at a time, and they have to pay a deposit. The deposit for the whole book is definitely different from the deposit for a small volume. ah.

Standing at the table and looking at the covers full of covers hanging on the wall, Zhang Xingming read them one by one. Some of them were relatively deep in his memory, and he even remembered most of the content, while some had no impression at all, so they could be read as new books. .

At this time, domestic pirated books are very powerful, and there is another kind that is even more powerful, that is, pirated authors, not pirated content.

A new book completely written, the author is famous, and Jin Yong is the hardest hit.Later, in the 90s, it was Huang Yi. For a period of time, when I entered a bookstore, the shelves were full of Huang Yi's books. At that time, I felt that this person was too powerful and had written so many books.

There are also Quan Yong and Liang Xisheng, and there are more of them.

At that time, the well-known martial arts novelist in China was Jin Yong and Gu Long Liang Yusheng. Wen Ruian's later four famous arresters were also available, but he had few books.Wolong has always been tepid.

At the same time, there were also Yun Zhongyue, Zhuge Qingyun, Liu Canyang, Sima Ling, Dongfang Yu, Duhuhong, Chen Qingyun, Xiao Yi, etc., but they were not too popular.

Compared with these people, Huang Yi is an era later. In the 90s, "Looking for Qin Ji" became a big hit. It can be said that he is the originator of time-travel novels and created a brand new system.

Around 2000, Xiao Duan and Bu Feiyan, a man and a woman, were the most popular in China. They became popular in traditional martial arts. Their books were serialized in the martial arts edition of Wuhan Jingu Legend Magazine for many years.

……

"Are you here to read a book or to warm up by the fire? Find a book that looks alike, does it match?" Chi Meimei asked, looking at Zhang Xingming with her head tilted.

Zhang Xingming said: "Isn't it just hanging around by your side for a long time? Why are you so stupid? Look at it. When you say that, do you think I should go or not? How embarrassing."

All the people sitting in the room and reading books laughed, Chi Meimei gave Zhang Xingming a sideways look, and said, "He's from No. [-] Middle School, right? He's not careless and careless. Which book do you want to read? Auntie will get you a book."

She is over 20 this year. Strictly speaking, Zhang Xingming really has to be called aunt, but her father has a bold personality, and the half-children who come here often have one bite and one uncle, so she can only be an older sister. It's not wrong to call her aunt or sister, isn't she?

Zhang Xingming looked at the wall and said, "Auntie, take the Deer and Ding Ji, I will learn how to have seven wives, no, no, I should watch The Legend of Condor Heroes, Yang Guo married his aunt, that's not right, aunt , does your book teach how to marry an aunt as a wife?"

Chimei reached out and pinched Zhang Xingming's arm, and said, "You little brat, the more you talk, the more excited you are?"

"Why are you pinching this?" A loud voice rang out, and Uncle Chi walked in, carrying two large lunch boxes in his hand.

Miss Chi blushed, and Zhang Xingming said, "Uncle Chi, I'm discussing something with your aunt."

Old Chi turned around and closed the door tightly, put the lunch box on the stove, took off his military overcoat and threw it on the small bed, saying, "What are we discussing?"

Zhang Xingming said: "We are discussing whether it is good for a man to marry a big wife."

Miss Chi stood up and walked out from the table. Old Chi sat in with his head sideways, took a few breaths, and said, "Have you taken a fancy to my daughter? How is it? Isn't your daughter pretty? Hahahaha, you have to Hurry up and grow, there are too many of my daughters, I'm afraid you won't be in a hurry."

Chi Meimei dragged a stool and sat by the stove to make a lunch box. Zhang Xingming stepped aside, found a bench and sat down, and said, "What delicious food did you bring?"

Old Chitou said: "Good day, the dumplings you made, you can eat as much as you want, you two are enough, I pretend to be too much."

His family lives relatively close to here, on top of the yellow building across the road, Lao Chitou is a man of old etiquette, he has to go back to eat hot lunch, his son and daughter come to the store, and bring them over after he finishes eating .

Chi Meili opened the lid of the lunch box, and the aroma of the dumplings came out under the fire. There was a box of cucumber and green pepper stuffing, and a box of sauerkraut stuffing.

Zhang Xingming said: "Cucumbers and green peppers? Your family's life is booming, sir. How can there be whole cucumbers and green peppers here?"

Old Chi tilted his head, crossed one leg on the bed, and said, "Haha, how is your life like, sir? Relatives in the countryside gave some, and that's all. It's gone after eating. It's not easy to put away. It will rot if it’s frozen or hot, eat some, it’s still fresh.”

Zhang Xingming thought for a while, it's been 85 years, and said, "It seems that there are fresh vegetables sold this year? I remember seeing it."

Old Chi curled his lips and said, "How dare you eat it? Tell you boy, you have to follow God to eat food. If God lets you have it, you should eat it hard. If God doesn't let you have it, don't eat it. How much do you eat?" God, you will be useless, and when the time comes, the machine will not be hardened."

The whole room burst into laughter, Miss Chi ate the dumplings with a blushing face, and glared at her father.

Zhang Xingming said: "Isn't it? The south already has it at this time. They have fresh vegetables all year round, don't they also grow in the soil?"

Old Chi scratched his head and said, "If the food from the south can be eaten, then we ordinary people can afford it? The vegetables are grown in the field, so we have to harvest them? Pack them, and transport them by big cars and big trains. Do you still have to lose?

Vegetables are both afraid of cold and heat, and they will rot into a pot of soup when it is hot. Does it cost money?Ship it to Fengtian, then pour it to our city, where the vegetable sellers go to pick up the goods, then ship it back, and then sell it to you, how much will it cost?

And except for hard stalks, they can't be shipped back at all.The hard stalks are picked when the water is full, and they can be stored for a while, and they can be served with ice cubes before shipment. If they can come to our place, the ice cubes on this road alone will cost money, can they be bought?

Hehe, let me tell you, it’s basically all out-of-season vegetables in greenhouses.There are also southern ones. I will teach you a way to recognize vegetables. Remember, when you buy vegetables, you pick a piece and throw it in your mouth to chew. Northeast dishes have a strong taste, while southern dishes have no taste. Taste for sure. "

All the readers came over with booklets, and someone asked: "Master, why, aren't they all vegetables?"

Zhang Xingming squeezed a dumpling from the lunch box and threw it into his mouth. The beautiful woman Chongchi raised his eyebrows and said, "We'll eat in the same box from now on. It's settled. You have to wait for me." In return, he rolled his eyes.

Chapter 295 The Vegetable Seller (5)

Old Chi coughed, and said: "Our Northeast cuisine has one season a year, and the south has three seasons a year. This place is like a woman giving birth. You need to rest. Look at this, it is covered with heavy snow in winter. As soon as the snow melts next year, this land will come alive, and what to grow will be delicious.
