[Naruto] Survival Records of the Warring States Period

The rich herbal flavor fills the entire space.

Nyanosuke squatted quietly on the corner of the bed, not as well-behaved as before.

The female doctor at the medical center looked at the mascot-like quiet cat several times while applying medicine on your back. After applying the medicine, she asked you to sit up and bandaged the place where you broke your skin.

Seeing that you kept gasping for air, the female doctor comforted you with gentle words: "Fortunately, the bones are not broken. Please pay attention to safety when playing with cats in the future."

You didn't explain that you didn't play with the cat at all. The injury was caused by the fall, and the injury on your back was caused by the cat.

"There aren't many medicinal materials right now and it's hard to buy them. Your Highness is pressing hard, so they will be sent to the front line first. Pay attention to the bruised areas after you return, and keep them clean."

The female doctor looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She is bandaging the place where you fell and telling you what to pay attention to. Her hands are very neat.

You look down at her. The girl has a pair of round almond eyes with slightly raised corners. They are warm and cute, and her black hair is smooth and shiny. However, there are thick calluses between her fingers and palms, and there is a clear difference when they brush against your skin.

You nodded, couldn't sit still and looked left and right, and then asked: "Thank you, sister, does she open the store by herself? It's so amazing."

"Why do you ask that?" She raised her hand to pick up a loose strand of hair and tucked it behind her ear. She inadvertently turned her head to look outside and said, "Of course not. The shop owner is my mother. She follows the escort team to deliver the medicinal materials. Gone. I am just an apprentice now, and I only dare to deal with some minor injuries."

You let out a disappointed sigh.

She felt funny when she saw your appearance and asked, "What's wrong?"

You say seriously: "I'm wondering when I can open my own store."

The medical girl smiled and stood up to clear the medicine bowl on the table. Her apricot sleeves swirled with a bitter scent of medicine: "When your store manager approves you, you can go out and open a store. This is not possible. in a hurry."

Nowadays, shops and apprentices basically have a long-term employment relationship. If the apprentice performs well, not only can he be promoted, but he can also get the approval of the owner to open a branch under the same name.

But this is a long process that could take ten or decades.

You hummed and sighed while adjusting your clothes. She smiled even more heartily when she saw this.

Behind the curtain that separated the inner room from the outer room, boss A Cong raised his voice and asked: "Miss Keiko, is it over?"

"Okay, okay." Seeing that the medical lady was still busy, you responded for her, jumped out of bed, picked up the cat, and ran out of the curtain.

Miss Keiko shook her head and followed him out of the inner room.

The boss glared at you when he saw this: "Why are you running so fast? You haven't paid yet."

"I'm sorry." You handed Nyonosuke to the boss who picked up the cat, and stood behind him obediently, watching him go to check out with Miss Keiko.

"What kind of business does the boss do?" Miss Keiko stared at Boss A Cong with curiosity in her dark eyes and asked.

Boss Acong was stunned for a moment, turned his head slightly, looked away from Miss Keiko, and said with a smile: "I have opened a bookstore. Miss Keiko, if you are interested, you can come and have a look."

He scratched his head as he spoke, reported the address of Qingshui Bookstore, and without leaving a trace, found out what kind of books the other party liked to read and what subjects he was interested in.

There is quite a way of commissioning you to write a book that does not have this kind of subject matter.

"..."

You looked on in admiration, knowing the situation and making no sound.

That is to say, is there a possibility that Miss Keiko might not like reading?

You thought boredly.

After you walked out the door, you politely advised: "Boss, considering your conditions, I don't recommend that you pursue Miss Keiko."

After all, Miss Keiko is not an ordinary person at first glance. Can ordinary people take in enough nutrients to maintain their hair so well, and have calluses on their hands for holding things for a long time?

On the other hand, Boss A Cong, although handsome in appearance, is slightly fat, physically weak, and has a worrying hairline in his twenties.

An extremely ordinary person.

It’s hard to believe that Miss Keiko would like her boss.

And you selfishly hope that there will be as few troubles around you as possible. If your boss likes ninjas, will your job still be stable?

The boss stumbled, glared at you and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of things are in your head at such a young age? I am promoting the store!"

You snorted and swallowed back, "I didn't say you were expressing your good feelings when you were selling to Miss Keiko."

He thought of something and looked at you with suspicion: "Why did you fall there? Your home is not in that direction, right?"

"..." You shut your mouth tightly.

"Contact fee." Boss A Cong reminded.

You immediately said, "I'm in a bad mood."

Want to show off.

"?" Boss A Cong twitched the corner of his mouth and said reluctantly, "Your hobbies after you are in a bad mood are a bit unique."

You didn't say anything and followed Boss A Cong.

A castle town is composed of multiple towns, divided according to the status of the residents. On the basis of autonomy, each town has a headquarter organization that formulates operating laws and regulations and implements them to manage violations of law and discipline.

You didn't care about anything when you came out, and now you're in a town you've never been to before and don't know your way around. Boss A Cong is very familiar with the area, so you followed him all the way to memorize the directions.

He said he would send you back to the study area first, after all, he didn’t know where you lived.

You thanked him and asked after a while: "Boss, are you a businessman or a scholar?"

The boss was stunned, as if he didn't expect you to ask such a question. He didn't know what he thought of and sneered: "Of course you are a businessman, why do you ask that?"

"It doesn't feel like much," you replied.

The boss was silent for a moment, curious: "Why doesn't it look like that?"

"I clearly said that I wanted to make money, but it didn't sound like I wanted to make money," you said, "In this troubled world, if you want to make money, you would never think of selling books."

"Although we can't sell weapons, food and grass, there are probably other more suitable businesses. If you can make up your mind to go to the capital to do business from the south, why should you just be satisfied with selling books? And this is an industry that has to compete with the old bookstores in the capital."

The boss suddenly stopped and looked sideways at you, and you suddenly found that his eyes had a chilling coldness.

"Xiaoxue," he said softly, "how do you know I haven't sold anything else?"

You were startled.

"If your life is gone, what's the point of asking for money?" There was a strong sense of tiredness in his eyebrows. "Of course I am a businessman who is greedy for profit. A businessman can't afford to be early without profit. I will charge you at a low price. Being an apprentice is about profit, selling books is also about saving your life. You can be greedy in business, but don't risk your life."

"Do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

You suddenly felt a little scared. The bustling sound of the city was still there, but you felt as cold and shivering as if you were in an ice field.

You shook your head, and Boss Acong chuckled with satisfaction, looked back and moved on.

You hesitated for a moment and followed.

——The boss is just an ordinary bookseller.
