NOVEL NEXT Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Never worry about running out of money a
An hour later, Shen Ruolan walked easily and came out of the drunk floweryin happily, with a heavy silver in her arms.
Hahaha, when she is rich, she can buy and buy as much as she wants, and she won’t have to worry about money in the future.
Just now, she has made an appointment with the Hongmian girl, and she will come every ten days to teach Hongmian a new song. There are a lot of songs in her stomach, let alone the most popular Gongdou drama “Zhen Huan” The songs that Li’an Xiaoniao sang, she memorized every song by heart, enough to teach her for a while.
No need to worry about material life anymore, she began to think about spiritual life.
Just now when I was drunk in Huayin, I saw the poems posted on the wall, but she did not recognize most of the words, and some of the words she knew were guessed.
As a modern woman, she can’t stand her current illiterate status. Even if she doesn’t point to becoming a writer, she must at least be able to write and read, not be blind, right?
So, after walking around in the street, she found a bookstore selling books and pens.
The shop is quite large and the decoration is stylish, but there is not much stock in it. Looking at the few books on the shelves, she couldn’t help but frown, and asked: “I’m going to buy some books for children from the beginning of Kaimeng, here Have it?”
She was embarrassed to say that she wanted to use it, so she had to excuse that she bought it for a child.
“Yes, girls come with me.”
As soon as the shopkeeper saw the customer, he greeted her diligently, led her to a large bookshelf, and pointed to the two rows above: “These two rows are simple poems. From the three-character classic and the surnames of a hundred families , Thousand-character essays, I bought this for beginners. Then there are poetry books. The girl sees which poet I want to buy and chooses her own.”
Shen Ruolan looked at those books, her brows frowned even tighter.
The bookstore looked quite big, but the books were few and pitiful, and a few of them were obviously old, so he asked, “Why are there so few books? Is there anything else?”
As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately called Zhuang Tianqu: “The girl said I have few books here? That’s nothing. My bookstore is the largest in our Nong’an County. There are only four to five hundred books in the collection. What about it.”
Four or five hundred books is the biggest bookstore?
Shen Ruolan was really drunk.
However, when she took down the books on the shelf and flipped through them, she knew why there were so few books.
Some of these books are printed, and some are copied by hand. There is no movable type printing in this era. If you want to print a book, you have to engrave the entire page, which is time-consuming and troublesome. If a page is carved out One word costs the entire page. Therefore, the cost of printing books is very high, and the books that can be printed are carefully selected. Some books that are not easy to sell, such as scripts, miscellaneous books, etc., are mostly copied from each other.
However, copying the books one by one is not cheap, not to mention expensive pen and ink, and the hard work of the copyists is also a lot.
Therefore, the cost of books is very high. Generally, small shops cannot afford to buy too many goods. If you can store four or five hundred copies at once like this bookstore, it is really a big deal. No wonder the shopkeeper is so confident, saying that he owns. The bookstore is the largest.
Knowing this, she was no longer picky, and carefully searched the bookshelf, and bought a thousand-character essay, a hundred family names, a three-character classic, and a disciple rule. Then he asked: “I want to buy the Four Treasures of the Study. The shopkeeper recommends it to me.”
The shopkeeper said: “Paper and pen are divided into three categories: upper, middle, and lower. The girl will see which one to choose, so I can choose it for you.”
Shen Ruolan doesn’t know how to distinguish between price and quality, but although there is some money now, after all, there is a lot of space in the family, and there are still a lot of things to buy, so she said: “Show me the middle price.”
The shopkeeper agreed, and took the rice paper and writing brush.
Shen Ruolan first took the brush and looked at it. There are Yanghao, Langhao, and Jianhao. Seven or eight brushes are divided into three models. The smallest ones are of course lowercase and small seal. The largest ones can be written in large letters, but that is. You can’t write couplets in large characters.
She looked at the tip of the pen and picked the one with the smallest number.
She bought rice paper for eight cents. It’s not the most expensive, but it’s not cheap anymore. This kind of paper does not faint ink, the pen feels good, and it has many uses. It is good to write large characters or write a small diary when you are okay.
Mo bought a middle-to-upper grade fragrant ink. She has a slight habit of cleanliness and can’t stand the odor of poor-quality ink. Although fragrant ink is a bit more expensive, it won’t smell bad when writing, and she can maintain it while studying. Pleasant heart.
She chose a second-hand one for Yantai, one of which had been knocked off by a corner. There were still eyes on it. If it hadn’t been for a corner, it would be more than twice as expensive.
The four books plus the four treasures of the study cost her a total of one, two or three dollars.
When paying the money, Shen Ruolan couldn’t help but vomit in pain. It’s so expensive. Reading is really something rich people can do!
The shopkeeper saw that Shen Ruolan had bought so many things, so he gave her a schoolbag for free. The schoolbag is made of cyan canvas. It is simple and elegant, durable and practical. It hung on the body and matched her pink clothes. Too!
She happily left the bookshop with her schoolbag, and then went to a medical clinic.
Since the day she came to this world, she has always wanted to find a good doctor to ask her pulse to see if there is anything in her small body that needs to be treated.
She’s all thinner like this. Before she couldn’t get enough to eat all the time, she was afraid of ruining her body and she didn’t know it. Now that she is rich, find a better doctor to take a closer look. Treat the problem as early as possible, it would be better if there is no problem!
When she found the medical center, she found the most expensive doctor in the medical center to check the pulse. The old doctor is famous and the consultation fee is also high. The consultation fee is only two silver, but for the health, Shen Ruolan gritted her teeth.
The old doctor took her pulse in the outpatient clinic for a while, and asked her a few more questions. Finally, he prescribed five body-conditioning medicines to her, saying that she had no major problems, but lacked blood, and needed good conditioning.
She didn’t know most of the medicinal materials. She only knew the ginseng, which was the small ginseng that was cut into slices and dried. It is said to have the effect of strengthening the roots, but I don’t know if it works.
These pairs of medicines, plus a casserole for decocting medicines, and consultation fees, cost her a couple of silver.
After paying the money, she walked out carrying a few packets of medicine and a casserole. After walking less than 500 meters, she stopped with a weird smile on the corner of her lips. I folded it back again, went to the counter to buy a pack of psychedelic drugs, and threw it into the casserole.
This time, she walked very quickly, walking into a dead end before stopping.
