Admiral Middle Age

"Tell...uncle, can I read it?" The bookstore owner was calculating the accounts excitedly, Lin Jianguo was waiting for the payment, Shi Linyao was not interested in these at all, and now she was just paying attention: "Book, can I read it?"

She has browsed through it before, and many of the contents in it made her feel bright. Many of the knowledge and theories based on the culture of this world's shipgirls and expanded research from another direction are things she has never seen before. Never heard of it.

"Your child?" Before Lin Jianguo could answer, the owner of the bookstore responded with a smile: "Why, you want your child to be an admiral!"

"Huh? Ah, I can see it." After being stunned for a while, Lin Jianguo also responded with a smile.

Shi Linyao rolled her eyes secretly: When these adults are not telling the truth, it is a basic operation to say haha.

"Yeah, I've been here for so many years. If you can't see it, then I'm still here. It's not wasting food for so many years." Crackling on the calculator, the bookstore owner didn't look up, He agreed with his lips.

"Oh," the boss's tone was a bit wrong.

Listen, the taste of contempt is not small: "Why, can't you?"

The busy hand of the bookstore owner suddenly stopped, and after a pause, the boss raised his hand angrily, gave himself a soft mouth, and then raised his head with a smile: "Okay, of course, if not, My book sells so well. Let me tell you, the books you selected are the best-selling ones here, and many people come to buy them every year, and the sales are very hot."

"Oh!" Looking at the bookstore owner suspiciously, Lin Jianguo reached out and grabbed the money bag he put on the table: "Really?"

"Look, look, how can I lie to you?" Lin Jianguo's actions suddenly made the bookstore owner nervous, and he smiled. He looked at Lin Jianguo, and then at Lin Jianguo's hand holding the money bag, feeling a little uneasy Yes, hesitating, stretching and shrinking his hands, wanting to grab the purse, but a little afraid: "Look, look at the books you bought, they are all related to Jian Niang, and there are all kinds of books. , read all these books deeply and thoroughly, and then become an admiral, then it will definitely be no problem."

"Hiss!" Lin Jianguo gripped the purse even tighter, and even tugged it back: "Your words...why does it sound so wrong to me?"

The owner of this bookstore was introduced by the old village head and the others. It is said that the owner is quite nice, and the books here are all cheap.And the most important point: he also accepts returns for the books he has read. (Of course, a depreciation fee will be charged when the product is returned.)

But just like this, Lin Jianguo and Shi Linyao also felt that it was still a good deal: when they were selecting books before, they roughly looked through and found that in those old books, many of them had annotations written on them.

This is what you earn. According to the boss, these old books are only charged according to their fineness. According to the degree of depreciation of the books, when you buy them, you will also get a certain discount. Although I don’t know how much the discount can be, but... there is a book It's called "The Legend of Condor Heroes", remember?

In it, at the end, a Shaolin monk named Jueyuan came out, and he had a disciple named Zhang Junbao.

Of course, the point here is not about this Shaolin monk named Master Jueyuan and his apprentice who later changed his name to Zhang Sanfeng. What I want to talk about here is that when this monk named Jueyuan was cleaning the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple, he found that book.

The title of the book seems to be the Lengjia Sutra or something. It's been a while, so I can't remember it clearly.

But in the cracks of this book, where the narration is, there are some words similar to annotations.

The whole text, taken together, is a martial arts secret book called "Nine Suns Manual"...

Therefore, when he saw the dense annotations in these books, Lin Jianguo raised his eyebrows quietly, and then closed the book casually.

Books must be bought, and the owner of this bookstore can't do without selling them.

However, the words must also be asked.If the boss doesn't make it clear... we won't give money!

He and Shi Linyao looked at each other and nodded each other. Lin Jianguo held the bag containing the admiral's coins tightly in his hand.

Shi Linyao also looked reluctant to part with her, and lightly stepped on her feet, and gently placed the book she was flipping through on the counter.

"Hey, hey, okay, okay, let me say, can I tell you no?" Lin Jianguo's attitude showed a clear meaning: if you don't make it clear, we won't buy it.

The owner of the bookstore also clearly accepted what Lin Jianguo and the others wanted to express, and gave Lin Jianguo a bitter look. Seeing Lin Jianguo's resolute face, he could only shake his head helplessly, and then gave himself a gentle sigh. Your mouth: "I'm just saying, my stinky mouth, it can't get rid of this problem."

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Now that everyone has agreed, Lin Jianguo didn't care about it, and let go of the admiral's coin bag.

As soon as Lin Jianguo let go, the owner of the bookstore immediately snatched the bag. It was only after he got the bag that he felt something was wrong. He could only smile awkwardly again, and reluctantly put the bag on the counter: "What? ? I'll just take a look, just take a look."

"This kind of money is quite small." Ostrovsky's previous performance and the current bookstore owner's performance both show that the bag of admiral's coins that Lin Jianguo put on the table does not seem to be so common .

"Yes, yes," Lin Jianguo said, and the owner of the bookstore pulled the bag away, poured the admiral's coins on the counter, reached out to pick up one, held it with two fingers, and lifted it up. Looking at it with a fascinated face: "Is this stuff really that common?"

Similarly, he picked up an admiral's coin, put it in his hand and looked at it casually: "This thing, no, can an aircraft carrier lady make it?"

"But you have to let them do it too." Holding the admiral's coin tightly in his hand, the owner of the bookstore stared at the one in Lin Jianguo's hand with nervous and distressed eyes. If possible, he really wanted to grab it: "I don't know where you got these things. I won't ask the specifics. If you ask, you probably won't tell me. However, the insider There are very few aircraft carrier wives, so it is up to you to meet them and ask them to make these admiral coins for you. I don’t know them, so even if I ask them, it probably won’t be of much use.”

?

Lin Jianguo looked at the admiral's coin in his hand, and then at the bookstore owner, feeling a little surprised: "You... how do you know that these are all newly made?"

"Look, look, I knew it. Your admiral coins are all newly made." Lin Jianguo's words made the bookstore owner excited.He picked up the admiral's coin, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at it more carefully, fascinated: "A new admiral's coin! Your luck is really good."

?

"Is there anything different about the new Admiral's coin?" In the words of the bookstore owner, there seemed to be something that he hadn't noticed.

So it’s bad for a novice: You don’t know many common-sense questions that others think are common sense.

For example, now, when Lin Jianguo asked what he said, the owner of the bookstore had a clear look: "You are a novice! This is the first time you use this kind of admiral's coin."

"Huh? Huh." Since people misunderstood, Lin Jianguo didn't want to explain anything more, just nodded and agreed: "Trouble..."

After hesitating for a while, Lin Jianguo pressed the admiral's coin on the counter with a face full of pain, and pushed it in front of the bookstore owner: "I have never used this kind of coin before, this time I was lucky enough to get it Some, so, there are a lot of things that I don't know."

After hesitating for a moment, biting his lip, Lin Jianguo raised his hand, then lowered it, tapped twice on the admiral's coin on the counter, and then pressed it heavily: "Then... can you tell me , tell me something I don't know, news?"

The owner of the bookstore wrinkled his face and looked hesitant, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the admiral's coin under Lin Jianguo's finger: "That's it...but then I will be at a disadvantage! There's a lot of news... "

"Add one more." Lin Jianguo withdrew his fingers neatly, allowing the admiral's coin on the counter to be completely presented in front of the bookstore owner: "Add the one in your hand, these two admiral coins If you want to buy your news, just say you agree or not."

"Yes, yes, we agree." Before the bookstore owner could speak, a voice beside him hurriedly agreed.A little boy with a pair of bright eyes rushed out with a whoosh, and reached out to grab the admiral's coin on the counter.

"What are you doing?" Jiang is still old and hot. From the moment the voice sounded, the owner of the bookstore suddenly became alert, and then saw the kid rushing out, and reached out to grab the admiral's coins on the counter. Unable to catch up with the speed of jingling bells, he slapped the counter hard, and pressed the admiral's coin firmly under his hand.

"Dad, admiral coin, I can earn an admiral coin just by asking you a few words. If you don't agree quickly, do you think you are stupid?" Facing the glaring gaze of the bookstore owner, the man who suddenly appeared The little guy was not afraid, and even put his waist down, looking at the bookstore owner with eyes like a fool.

……

I... I'm stupid...

If it weren't for the fact that his subordinates were holding down an admiral's coin, the bookstore owner really wanted to slap that kid hard on the head: I'm stupid, don't I want to earn more admiral's coin? The price will be raised again, do you know that?

You brat, you messed up my good business, and you scolded me stupid in front of my face. I think your skin is itchy because you haven't been beaten for a few days: "Brat, get out!"

The sudden outburst of the bookstore owner was obviously out of the little guy's accident. After being scolded, he looked at the bookstore owner a little stunned, with an unbelievable look: "You, you are swearing!"

"What's wrong with scolding you?" King Kong glared, the owner of the bookstore looked angry, raised his palm and slapped the counter heavily: "Didn't you just call me stupid just now? You are only allowed to scold me, but you are not allowed to scold me." I'm scolding you, I'm your old man, what's wrong with scolding you a few words? If you dare to make trouble for me, be careful and get beaten."

"You...you dare." He said harshly, but the little guy took a step to the side very sincerely, stood at the corner of the counter, and made a look like he was about to run away at any time: "You dare to hit me!" , I’ll tell my mother to go. See if she doesn’t ask you to eat at night.”

!

The face of the bookstore owner turned completely dark.

The kind of black that drips water!

There are still outsiders here, but his own son beat him up. If he doesn't beat this kid up, where will he save face?

"I..." At this moment, Lin Jianguo could no longer be afraid that Lin Jianguo was still watching. The bookstore owner gritted his teeth, and started chasing after the little guy who had the same imagination as him...

But at the same time, when the owner of the bookstore took a step forward, the little guy who was standing timidly on the side of the counter suddenly started to move, and put one hand on the counter, sticking to the counter at a right angle. Turn around, stretch out your hand...

"Dad, I only took one. Don't forget to return it." When he said this, the little guy had already rushed out of the store at an unbelievable speed, and in the blink of an eye, Turned a corner, and immediately disappeared without a trace.Only his clear voice was left, slowly echoing in the bookstore: "I..."

The rest of the words can no longer be heard clearly.

Lin Jianguo looked at Shi Linyao calmly.Shi Linyao nodded slightly.Signal that the child is telling the truth.

"This brat, this brat." The bookstore owner was in a hurry, walking around between the counter and the store door, wanting to chase after that brat, but also unwilling to give up the big deal at the moment: "Oh forget it, go back Teach that brat a lesson again. Well, my child just took one of your admiral coins, and I will return this to you."

With a distressed face, he put the admiral's coin that was sweating in his hand on the counter, and the bookstore owner pushed the admiral's coin that was slapped twice on the table just now, and pushed it towards Lin Jianguo: "Well, before You said that deal, shall we continue?"

"Continue, of course continue." Lin Jianguo stretched out his hand, clamped the admiral's coin under the finger of the bookstore owner with two fingers, took it, but did not move it.

The owner of the bookstore pressed one finger firmly on the Admiral's coin. Lin Jianguo grabbed it twice with two fingers, but failed to grab it: "The price is only two Admiral's coins. Your son took one just now. Now you still have one in your hand, this one should be mine."

Lin Jianguo didn't let go, just clamped the admiral's coin between two fingers, and stood in a stalemate with the bookstore owner across a counter.

"Isn't this... Don't you still want to buy books? Look at how much those books are worth, and then we still use this kind of money to settle the bill?" Having said that, if you don't earn the money in front of you, you will lose money. I can't live with my conscience.

"I must pay with this money." This is supposed to be a good time to bargain. Recently, the bookstore owner's attitude is so anxious. Obviously, the role of this kind of admiral's coin to him is not only the superficial value that can represent of.

Perhaps, this admiral coin has other functions for him.

However, he didn't know the reserve price at all, and Lin Jianguo didn't even know how to pay back the price after bargaining. When he opened his mouth rashly, he was even more worried that he had lowered the price: "But hasn't your price been calculated yet?"

He firmly held down the admiral's coins on the table, and tried his best not to let Lin Jianguo take the money away. The owner of the bookstore had a 'bright' smile on his face: "That's what... the price is easy to say, and I have sold it several times. , it’s an old book, I’ll say you... ten... no, six admiral’s coins."

"Huh?!" The price dropped from ten to six, and the bookstore owner himself is so anxious to lower the price, which means that there may be some moisture in the middle!

"It's a lot, it's really a lot." The owner of the bookstore looked downcast, looking like he was about to cry: "The price I gave you is really reasonable, you see you also said before that you have acquaintances Introduce me, since people can introduce you to my place to buy books, it means that I am honest and sincere, and the books here are sold at real prices. Thing, if you didn’t buy old books, how could I not give you this price? If I lied to you, if you said it outside, everyone would stop buying books from me, then If I don’t earn money, what should I eat?”

Heh, this boss, what he said is a bit interesting: "Integrity management?!"

"
