Chapter 111： New book on sale

The Hanlin Bookstore in Mong Kok, an old bookstore that has been open for decades, is in a very good location and its business in the past is also very prosperous.

Early in the morning, the door of the bookstore on the roadside was filled with crowds, and there were still people coming in behind.

This scene attracted the attention of many passersby.

"Beauty, what are you doing? Why are so many people gathered together? Someone is sending money?" A middle-aged man with glasses passing by on a bicycle saw such a strange scene and couldn't help holding the brakes. When he got down, he asked a young man with acne on his face in the outermost part of the crowd.

"Uncle, which store have you ever seen to send money?" The young man with acne rolled his eyes and said helplessly. If it wasn't for an uncle who asked him, he would definitely start spraying if he was of the same age. If you speak so mindlessly, you know money, money, money!

"This is where Xia Yu's novel "Xun Qin Ji" is on sale. I came to buy "Xun Qin Ji". I didn't read it in the newspaper. After waiting for so long, I finally waited. I was so excited!" As the young man spoke, his tone became more and more excited, his fists clenched, and his face became a little flushed.

""Looking for the Qin"? Is it on sale today? I have seen it too, it looks good!" The middle-aged man wearing glasses brightened his eyes, showing an interested look.

"It turns out that you can watch it, uncle, hurry up. I heard that Jiuding Newspaper cannot print this time. The sales are limited. First come first served. If you don’t buy it this time, you will have to wait a long time. Otherwise, I will also I won't come here so early, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it!" said the young man with acne-faced emotion.

"There is still this matter, you must buy it quickly, wait, I will stop the car first!" Hearing the words of the young man with acne-faced faces, the middle-aged man wearing glasses became a little anxious, and he pushed the bicycle to the road after he said it. The side locked up and joined the waiting crowd.

As time passed, the bookstore still did not open, and there were more and more people around the door of the bookstore. Many people were a little anxious. After all, they still had things during the day! Many people still have to go to work!

At the door of the bookstore, there is a large propaganda poster with the cover of the novel "Xun Qin Ji", which is about to go on sale, and the introduction of the novel.

"Why doesn't the boss open the door? Don't want to do business anymore?" At the bottom of the crowd, a white-collar worker who has been waiting for the longest looked at his watch anxiously from time to time, his face was impatient, but he saw so many people behind him. I had to wait patiently again.

After all, if he left this time, he would have to wait a few more days if it really sold out. How could he be able to wait!

It was okay when "Looking for the Qin" was not published. Everyone can't read it, and my heart will not be unbalanced. But now that "Looking for the Qin" has been published, if someone else reads it but he doesn't read it, then how can he stand it! It's not uncomfortable to die!

Besides, since 6 o'clock in the morning, I have been waiting for more than an hour, and it is a big deal to wait a little longer.

"You will be late if you are late, and you have to buy "Xun Qin Ji" for whatever you say today!" The white-collar thought suffocated.

Just as more and more people in the crowd were impatient, at the very end of the crowd, a middle-aged man with a mole on his chin appeared.

Seeing so many people around the entrance of the store, he was stunned, but when he heard the people around him talking about "Xun Qin Ji", his face immediately turned into surprise and pride, and he secretly sighed that he was really wise and entered. One hundred and fifty sets of "Xun Qin Ji", each with one hundred and fifty copies, a total of three hundred copies.

And now he counted it, and the number of people around his shop was definitely no less than 80. If all came to buy "Xun Qin Ji", then he would definitely make a lot of money.

"Hurry up and get the money in your pocket to be at ease!" The middle-aged bookstore owner said secretly.

After thinking about it, he squeezed in while shouting: "Let let, let me go in."

It's a pity that the middle-aged shopkeeper didn't squeeze in after a few times. There were too many people here, and everyone wanted to get it early, which resulted in a tight squeeze.

"What kind of squeeze? People from behind understand the rules, don't squeeze forward!" The man standing in front of the middle-aged shopkeeper was squeezed impatiently, turned his head and stared at him, his face was full of impatientness. The color.

"I'm the bookstore owner, how can I open the door if I don't let me in?" The middle-aged shopkeeper was stunned, and he was in a bad mood. Although he is a customer, he is obviously a seller's market now. His confidence has increased and his tone has changed. Be tougher.

The stunned person blinked his eyes and reacted immediately, his face changed and became very enthusiastic. He quickly squeezed the person next to him and made a please gesture to the middle-aged shopkeeper: "This boss, please Please, open the door quickly!"

"Hey, let's let in, the boss is here, let's make a way to open the door for him, otherwise everyone can't buy it!" The man finished speaking to the owner, and then shouted at the person in front of him with a loud voice. .

Hearing words from the crowd behind, the people in front all looked behind, and they saw the strange-looking middle-aged boss all at once, and then everyone moved a bit, and a road appeared soon, completely unexpected. It's still crowded, like a situation where they can't move at all. UU reading www.udukanshu.com

Seeing this road, and seeing the eagerly expectant gazes of the people around, the middle-aged boss was in a great mood and walked towards the store door with his head high.

He hasn't encountered such a scene for a long time. It seems that the most recent time was when Jin Yong's last novel "The Deer and the Ding Ji" was published in 1972!

Unexpectedly, Xia Yu's "Xun Qin Ji" also has the scene today, and "Xun Qin Ji" is still being serialized!

When he came to the door, the middle-aged boss turned around and shouted to everyone: "Wait, don’t squeeze, line up, or I won’t open the door!"

He was worried that so many people would come in together and knock down his bookshelves, or if someone secretly took books and left, he would not be able to collect the money alone.

Then, seeing everyone starting to line up, the boss opened the door with a satisfied expression. Everyone suddenly squeezed in. The middle-aged boss was crowded and pushed into the shop. What he said just now was for nothing!

Seeing this situation, the middle-aged boss hurried to the counter, opened the cash box, and prepared to collect the money!

As soon as the long-awaited white-collar worker walked in, he saw "Xun Qin Ji" placed in the center of the bookshelf, the most prominent lender of the entire bookstore.

Before he had time to think about it, he quickly took four copies, two books each of the first and second books of "Xun Qin Ji". He wanted one set, and the other set was brought for him at the same time.

After taking it, the white-collar worker quickly came to the boss and started to pay. The boss hurriedly helped him find the change, because someone else came to pay.

"Hey, don’t take so much for the people in front, just buy your own. If you buy so much by yourself, what about the ones behind us?" A person in the back had sharp eyes and saw that one person took it all at once. There were a lot of books, how could there be ten books, he immediately became anxious and shouted out loudly, for fear that he could not buy them for nothing.
