Chapter 40 Newspapers

In the past few days, Yu Xi has entrusted someone to buy a set of movable type printing boards from Mishan City. Because of efficiency issues, Yu Xi plans to issue a newspaper once a week, temporarily named Da'an Guo Weekly, in Fengshan County. Test run for a while.

If the effect is good, it can be sold nationwide.

Da'an Guo Weekly's initial subscription is divided into five modules, namely current affairs hotspots, financial guide, articles and stories, poems and songs, and examination guide.

In the past few days, Chu Nian is teaching students during the day, and writing news articles at night, while Yu Xi is silently writing Journey to the West for publication.

It is not very easy to promote a new thing, there must be something that can attract people's attention, so Yu Xi took out Journey to the West, which is well-known in modern times, besides, he also hired a storyteller from a restaurant, Tell this story.

If you want to know the follow-up, you can only buy or borrow newspapers.

That night, Yu Xi and Chu Nian sat face to face at the desk writing articles. The atmosphere in the study was very comfortable and at ease. The two finally put down their pens in a tacit understanding and smiled at each other.

Now all the content of this issue of the newspaper has been written, and it only needs to be printed out before it can be sold.

Newspapers are issued on weekly holidays. The current holiday system in Da’an Kingdom is exactly the same as that in the Ming Dynasty. They all rest once every five days. There are still two days before the holiday, so we should be able to print enough newspapers. newspaper.

Time soon came to the holiday, and another carriage slowly came in from the city gate. The people of Fengshan County were used to the arrival of outsiders from time to time, and the business of the inn here was much better than before.

The people who came this time were the ones who discussed why Chen Guang and the others hadn't come back many days ago. They also came to Fengshan County together because they were too bored. There was a strange child standing there, who seemed to be holding some papers in his hand, and he was heard shouting:

"The first issue of Da'an Country Weekly is now on sale!"

"The weekly report?" Bai Mufeng asked suspiciously, and then looked at his companion who was also a little confused, so he walked over and asked, "What is the weekly report?"

The newsboy saw a rich man approaching, so he was a little excited. He had been shouting on the street for an hour, and only two or three people bought the newspaper in his hand. share.

He said with a smile: "This young master's weekly newspaper is a kind of newspaper. It is issued every holiday and it records the hotspots of the week in Da'an, government news, and special stories, such as Journey to the West."

"Journey to the West?"

"It tells the story of a generation of stone monkey Sun Wukong making troubles in the heaven... being suppressed by the Tathagata Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain."

Bai Mufeng was not interested in the so-called hot topics of current affairs, but he was very interested in the Journey to the West that the newsboy said, so he bought a newspaper.

He opened the newspaper, found the part of Journey to the West, read it with relish, and didn't react until his companion patted him on the shoulder.

"What are you looking at? So serious?"

"Fairy story."

"What's so beautiful about that?"

His companion looked at him suspiciously, and then dragged him towards the shopping mall. Bai Mufeng was a little dissatisfied with his attitude, and wanted to prove Journey to the West, so he briefly explained what Journey to the West was to his companion while walking.

Companion Xiang Long couldn't help clapping and applauding, and asked, "And then?"

Bai Mufeng spread his hands and said, "I was dragged away by you before I finished watching."

"Hurry up and find a place to look."

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"What to eat? Reading is the big deal!"

After that, the two of them stood under the tree root and read the Journey to the West in the newspaper together. When they saw the excitement, they realized that it was gone.

Both Bai Mufeng and Xiang Long were a little bit unfinished. Seeing a newspaper boy selling newspapers in the distance, they quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is there a follow-up to this Journey to the West, kid?"

"Return to this son, it will not be released until the next holiday." The newsboy said word by word.

"I'll give you ten taels of silver."

"Sorry, I'm just selling newspapers." The newsboy shook his head and said.

"Who wrote the book, can you tell me?"

"Wu Chengen." The newsboy replied, and then added: "But he has passed away."

"What! How did this happen? What a pity, what a pity." Bai Mu said with a heartbroken heart, and then followed Xiang Long back to the inn in a daze.

And Chen Guang, whom he talked about before, was playing billiards in the game area of ​​the shopping mall. Looking at the red and green balls in front of him, he didn't understand the rules at all, so he just played blindly and scored more goals than anyone else.

Lin Xin was attracted by a cosmetics store at this time. Although there is no television or computer in this era, and it is impossible to make and broadcast advertisements, it is still possible to put up posters.

At this time, the two posters pasted on the door of Youyu Cosmetics Store were made in the form of comics.

In addition to Lin Xin, other residents of Fengshan County also looked at this novel advertisement at the entrance of the store. It felt like a kind of picture book, but I have to say that this little story is really fascinating.

The beginning of the story is that the woman's fiancé disliked the acne on her face, so he broke off the engagement.

A mysterious merchant sold youyu brand skin care products to her. The woman looked at the toner in her hand and said, "30 years in Hexi, 30 years in Hedong, xx you wait for me, I will blind you."

After that, the woman sat in front of the vanity mirror and applied fish brand lotion and body lotion every day, and the acne on her face gradually improved.

The advertisement at the door immediately attracted many women to buy, Pei Hongmei was one of them, she was a little bit angry recently, she had a lot of small pimples on her face, she had seen a doctor, but it didn't get better, she looked at it that day Youyu walked in suspiciously from the poster pasted at the entrance of Youyu Cosmetics Store, and asked:

"Are these bottles and jars good for acne?"

The salesperson looked at the position she was pointing at and said, "Miss, the product you are referring to can whiten skin, and that product can cure acne." She pointed to the products in the glass cabinet as she spoke.

Only then did Pei Hongmei follow her fingers and move her gaze to the cabinet in the middle. Inside were two tall, thin glass bottles with aloe patterns engraved on them.

Looking at such an exquisite bottle, she hesitated a little, would it be too expensive?

But she was still a little unwilling to leave like this, so she asked, "How much is a bottle?"

"If you buy a set, you will get a 4.8% discount. The total is 3 taels of silver. If you buy it separately, you will get [-] taels of silver for a bottle."

Pei Hongmei counted the sum secretly in her heart. If it was really useful, 4.8 taels of silver is not too expensive, it can be said to be the price of cabbage, but the problem is that her family can't afford it at all.

Pei Hongmei still hesitated, and the salesman saw her hesitation.Since the opening of the cosmetics store, its performance can be said to be the last in the commercial city.

The salesperson is often ridiculed in secret, so she pressed her mind and said, "This customer, why don't you try to make a decision first?"

"Ok, thanks."

Afterwards, Pei Hongmei was guided to sit on the seat. The salesperson washed her hands, took out a bottle and poured some on the back of Pei Hongmei's hand, then stretched out her fingers to daub it on the back of her hand, and then poured some more The lotion was on her hand, after which Pei Hongmei touched the back of her hand and it felt much smoother.

She gritted her teeth and left. While walking on the road, she still looked enviously at the women in cheongsams.

When she looked at the cheongsam shop in front of her, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes, but when she thought of her deflated wallet, she could only leave sadly.

When Pei Hongmei went out, she saw a newsboy carrying a messenger bag with some strange papers in it.

"The newspaper is sold, the newspaper is sold, and it costs two cents a piece."

Pei Hongmei felt that it was not expensive, and she didn't buy the skin care products she wanted. She could always afford a two-cent newspaper, so she bought a copy and took it home.

When I got home, I put the newspaper on the table because I was going to cook.

When her husband came back with a cane, he saw the newspaper on the table and picked it up to read curiously.

He directly skipped the previous current events, he was not at all interested in the beheading of the prime minister or the rehabilitation of the traitor many years ago.

On the contrary, he was interested in the Journey to the West and the poems and songs. He studied it carefully and felt as if he had found a confidant.

Pei Hongmei's husband, Pei Yue, looked carefully at the content of the newspaper, and saw the word "recruitment" written in the corner of the last page. He was a little moved by the recruitment conditions above. Because of his lameness in the past two years, He missed the exam, and because of this, many shops refused to hire him.

Pei Yue walked out excitedly with the newspaper, and walked slowly towards the commercial city while leaning on a cane.

This is the first time he has gone out of the "far" door in two years. Pei Yue walked forward with high spirits. He didn't know how long he walked and finally saw the six-story building. A sense of shock flashed in his eyes.

I couldn't help but exclaimed: What a miracle!

Pei Yue could vaguely see his own reflection in the glass, he straightened his clothes and walked in, looking at the stairs one after another, he was in trouble, and felt his legs ache.

Suddenly he saw the people beside him waiting at the door of a hut, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, he walked over and asked, "What are you waiting for here?"

"Elevator!"

Pei Yue looked at the elevator in front of him and became even more confused. He didn't know what it was. The world had completely changed after two years of traveling, and he was a little at a loss.

Pei Yue stood here for a long time before he understood the function of the elevator, and walked in.

Soon he came to the sixth floor, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised that he came to the sixth floor so quickly.

"This gentleman, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm here to recruit."

"No, I'm here for an interview."

"Okay, you do a registration, and then I will notify the boss."

Pei Yue wrote with a brush in a daze, then waited anxiously in the rest area.
