Be a little landlord

The tentative name of the magazine is "Quan Shui Qi Tan", and its content includes all kinds of stories and gossip, unorthodox literature, Lin Lixuan does not intend to mix those things of orthodox literature, and only intends to make an interesting booklet.

It is used by idlers to pass the time.

Whether it is placed in the store for people to watch, or sold to businessmen from the north and the south to relieve boredom during the journey, there must be something to do and leave some souvenirs. Lin Lixuan himself likes to read some weird essays, and there are few here that satisfy him. For the book, he made it himself, and found someone to compile the story by himself.

During this period of time, he has been planning how to manage this matter, but this woman Shen Youyun has been pestering him endlessly, the plan has been shelved for a while and is still in the planning stage, but now that he has free time, he has to find an author for his pamphlet .

He now has a printing workshop, and Mr. Shen is behind him as his background. There is basically no difficulty in creating an ancient monthly magazine. The only difficulty is... Where can he find so many creators? He likes it.He couldn't find it before the monthly magazine came out, so he had to do the digging himself.

With a shameless face, he asked Chu Zihang to write two articles for him, and asked Huang Yuan to draw serial comics for him. Lin Lixuan also found a few jokes from the brother who was in deep water, and he wrote a serial martial arts novel by himself. , and several crossword puzzles were attached, and with just a few adjustments, the first volume of Quanshui Qitan was produced and printed.

The first issue of the periodical was released. Lin Lixuan didn't go to other places to promote the magazine. He first promoted it in his own store. This store was not Songyun Bookstore, but his original store that sold food - Lin Kee Restaurant.How to promote books in the food shop?This is also tricky.

Aren't there several crossword puzzles attached to the back of the book?Lin Lixuan first announced in the store that if he could solve the anagram, he could write the answer on a note and put it in the red box at the door of the store. Ten lucky readers would be drawn on the middle of the month, and each lucky reader would get a prize from the food shop. Use coupons for free.

Each coupon is worth [-] Wen, and everyone who owns the coupon can buy food worth [-] Wen at Lin Kee Restaurant for free.

Although it is just a small gimmick, it is still very attractive to some nerds who often come and go in their shop and stay at home to study. Free lunch is naturally important, and charades to show off their ability are equally important!

Now that I have read the crossword puzzles, it is inevitable to flip through the content of the book. The serial content immersed in the book naturally develops naturally.

Only [-] copies of Quanshui Qitan's first volume were printed, and he put [-] copies in his store for free viewing. Those who come to the store for lunch or tea break can browse at will.

He welcomes those who are willing to buy, and he doesn't chase away those who come to see it for nothing. If he wants to see it for nothing, he has to order food first.After using this trick, the number of people who visit his shop to spend time on weekdays has increased by [-]%. Not only is it overcrowded during meal times, but also people come to drink tea, snacks and browse magazines at other times from time to time...

In the afternoon, Huang Daniu lazily sat at the door of the shop and flipped through books. There were not many customers in the shop at this time, so he was relatively leisurely. He could calm down and read a book for a while. He was illiterate at first, but there were so many books in the shop , Don’t read white, don’t read, the boss is kind, and he even teaches him how to read in his spare time, so Huang Daniu manages the store while reading when he has time.

There was a customer who ordered a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds, and came to their store to read books for several days.

He was wearing a gray blouse. He was of medium build, with a slightly dark complexion. He spread the books on the table and looked at them very seriously.

It is inevitable that there will be oil stains on the dining table, so Lin Lixuan wrapped these books with a thick oil paper case to reduce the degree of wear and tear. There are only seven characters on the brown case, that is, four big characters : Quanshui Qitan, and three small characters standing upright in a row: the first issue.

When people who knew him saw him, they couldn't help asking curiously: "Old Liu, I've known you for 20 years... Aren't you illiterate? Why are you pretending to read here..."

"Although I don't know how to read, my son does. He went to school for several years, and he taught me a lot of words..."

"Hmph, your level of literacy is about the same as mine...do you understand?"

"Of course I can understand it. It's not difficult at first... Do you want me to tell you the story?"

"What do you think……"

"This is about a knight-errant...do you understand this word?" Old Liu said a lot in front of people he knew.

"I didn't expect you to understand..."

"That's natural, and it's not difficult." Lao Liu himself felt strange, like those textbooks used in schools, he couldn't understand the meaning in them, and although he only knew a few words in these books, Turning the pages of the book, he even understood the story of Guessing and Meng. Moreover, according to the connection between the contexts, he could also understand the meaning of some unfamiliar words. After coming here for a few days, he unexpectedly I know a lot of words!

The serialized painting stories in it are also very interesting. An author named Xiao Yuanzi painted them vividly. Lao Liu has read his paintings many times, which are very interesting and funny.

"You show me the book in your hand..."

"Go, go and find another one yourself."

"Where are the books?"

"There, on the platform at the head of the stairs."

"Everyone has taken it..."

"Then you come early tomorrow, this is what I want to see."

"..."

One month later, the first issue sold less than [-]% of the printed volume. Among them, Huang Yuan bought the most. He bought five copies. This was the first time his works appeared in the world. I can't wait to buy all the books back for my own collection.

"Do you want to sell all the remaining 500 copies?"

"I think so, but I have more energy than I want, and I can't afford it!"

"You really think about it... You should stop thinking about it, go back and draw the manuscript for the next month!"

After the release of the first volume, Lin Lixuan can only say that he barely made back his capital, and this has to be added to the additional business that his shop has increased. However, Lin Lixuan didn't care, he could still maintain these losses.

It's just the first book.

Lin Lixuan asked the workshop to work overtime to print books, and at the same time spread the news everywhere that he wanted to receive manuscripts.

On the last page of the first issue of Quanshui Strange Talk, there is an advertisement for soliciting contributions: After reading this book, those who are willing to contribute to Songyun Bookstore can send their manuscripts to Songyun Bookstore on Seventh Street, Quanshui County.

After all, this was the first month, and Lin Lixuan's call for papers had been sent out, but he hadn't received a single manuscript.

Quanshui Qitan is a monthly magazine, one a month, with the foreshadowing of the first volume, the second and third volumes are released one after another, and Lin Kee Restaurant also has new issues of the month one after another, which can be viewed at will.

"Hey buddy, what about last month? I haven't finished reading yesterday." Someone stopped Huang Daniu and asked him why there were no books and periodicals last month.

"Only the current month's books can be read casually in the store." Huang Daniu said frankly, the old books in the store have been eliminated.

"I should have known that I should have finished reading it yesterday before leaving. I have lost too much. By the way, big cow, where can I read the last one?" The man was disappointed and annoyed. After he finished speaking, Someone next to him pushed him: "I saw that the person next door to you bought a copy, you can ask him to borrow it."

"That's... that's okay... But it's so troublesome. If I knew that I should have finished reading it yesterday, I'm really at a loss. I really want to read that martial arts series." After reading it yesterday, the man I still remember it all the time, and I just want to come over today and continue watching.

"Haven't you already heard what happened?"

"But I want to see it for myself." There's a big difference between listening to someone else and seeing it yourself!

"Then there's no way."

The Quanshui Strange Story was only spread in Quanshui County at the beginning, and some travelers would buy a copy and take it to other places. The first issue had little influence, the second issue, and the third issue... came out one after another until one day One day, a businessman from other places went to Songyun Bookstore to buy several copies.

"My old buddy originally wanted to buy it by himself, but he couldn't spare time. When he heard that I was going to berth a boat here, he told me ten times in my ear before leaving that he wanted me to buy a book called "The Complete Book". The things that Shui Qi talks about, what books do you think those of us who are in business are reading!"

"It's fine to buy one. He asked me to buy ten. By the way, he said, is there any last month? Is it sold out? No more? No more takeaways, only the current month? It means that if you miss it You can’t buy it anymore, can you?”

This kind of monthly serialization really requires people to work hard. It is better to break the chapters. Each issue is a cycle of stories. There is a cause and an effect. It not only has to carry on the previous issue, but also continues the content Storytelling, at the same time, must be able to understand and be attracted to those who have not read the previous article. Therefore, the content ranking of each issue of Quanshui Qitan must be carefully thought out by Lin Lixuan.

Lin Lixuan racked his brains to sort out the content that should be published that month, scratching his head and thinking about how to break chapters, which caused him more headaches than letting him figure out a story by himself.

He has worked hard on content layout, and the results are obvious. After the fourth issue and the fifth issue were released, people came to ask from time to time: What should I do if I want to read the previous content?Can the publications of previous months be printed again?

Of course not!

However, more and more people were attracted, and the number of free books displayed in Lin Kee restaurant has changed from ten to twenty.
