Cute new popular science posts, new ghosts must see!

[Contents]

Recently, a lot of new ghosts have been parachuted into the forum. After sorting out the various questions asked by the newbies, the building will answer them uniformly.

It is being updated from time to time.Plug ins are welcome, and additions are welcome.

1L: Squat, thank the host!

2L: Move out the small bench to occupy a seat

3L: Selling in the front row: beer, beverage, mineral water, rice pudding with peanuts and melon seeds [doge]

4L (landlord): The landlord is a bit slow in typing, please forgive me.

First of all, let's popularize the concept of "ghost".Seeing that many new ghosts ask what is the difference between Li ghosts and ordinary ghosts, let me briefly explain.There are generally three outcomes after death: reincarnation, becoming a ghost, or becoming a fairy or a Buddha.Reincarnation is the most common. It is almost impossible to become a fairy or a Buddha, and it is not the focus of my talk today.

Usually, people who cannot be reincarnated still have concerns during their lifetime, and even Meng Po Tang cannot erase their memories, so they become ghosts. Just like people, ghosts can be divided into good ghosts and bad ghosts.

Bad ghosts are mostly bad people who committed a lot of evil during their lifetime. After death, they are directly sent to the eighteenth hell by ghost messengers to be punished. Ordinary ghosts cannot be seen.

Most of them are still good ghosts, that is, ghosts like us, who didn’t do anything bad during their lifetime. After becoming ghosts, they are just ordinary little ghosts. Those who are motivated can take the exam of ghost envoys and enter official careers. It doesn’t matter if you start a small business to support your family. .After a long time, some ghosts gradually forget about the past life, so they can go to drink Mengpo soup and reincarnate.

But there are still some ghosts who are between the good ghosts and the bad ghosts. These ghosts were neither sinful nor purely good ghosts. This is what we often call "vicious ghosts".Everyone knows that after becoming a ghost, you have to report to the underworld. Ghosts who fail to register in time due to various reasons become lonely ghosts.Because these ghosts often appear in the human world and like to play tricks on people, they also caused a lot of trouble. In order to manage these ghosts, the underworld sent people to subdue them.

The subdued ghosts become the messengers of the ghost messengers. Each ghost messenger will have a bag of hundreds of ghosts to collect these ghost messengers. When necessary, the ghosts can be summoned, and there is no need to put them away again. It is a bit like the Two- The summoned beast that dimensional said.

The higher the level and ability of the ghost messenger, the more ghosts can be subdued and summoned, and the ability of each ghost increases with the master's ability. Generally, the ghost of a high-level ghost messenger is equivalent to the strength of three unowned ghosts.

That's all I can think of for now, any additions are welcome.

With the help of ghost messengers, in less than three days, the old books that had been accumulated for many years in the bookstore were sorted out, and they were sorted and listed on the second-hand book website for sale.Not only are some precious editions posted online, but some ordinary books that can only be sold for a dozen or twenty at most are also posted on the second-hand book website. In Song Lan's words, they can sell more. No matter how small it is, it is still a piece of meat.

Not to mention, since the prices of these books are a little lower than those of similar books on the Internet, the sales volume is quite good, and a lot of them have been sold within two days.

Seeing the rising number in the bank card, Song Lan breathed a sigh of relief: At this rate, the rent will not be worrying for the time being.

A week later, Aunt Zhang came to collect the rent on time. What she didn't expect was that this young man named Song Lan really managed to collect the money.

"Aunt Zhang, is it wrong for you to order more?" Song Lan had a standardized smile on her face.

"No, no need..." Aunt Zhang walked away in a trance with a handful of banknotes in her pocket.

"Brother Song, can we take a break?" Seeing that Song Lan seemed to be in a good mood, Dao Dao approached him silently.

"Oh my god!" Song Lan was taken aback, glared at Dao Dao, and said angrily, "Why do you make no sound when you walk?"

Dao Dao is extremely wronged: It is obviously Brother Song, you think too much about things, and he has been wronged for this blame.

Song Lan slowed down her tone a little, and looked at him with a half-smile: "Why, do you want to rest?"

The unlucky ghost glanced at Song Lan shyly, and asked Ai Qiqi: "Yes, is it possible?"

Song Lan was very ruthless: "No."

A group of ghosts who were eavesdropping not far away covered their foreheads together and let out a long sigh.

Lin Se sighed and shook her head: "Sure enough, you shouldn't ask Dao Dao to ask Brother Song. If you are touched by his bad luck, good things will turn into bad things."

Maybe it was because the voices of the ghosts were too loud, Song Lan glanced here intentionally or unintentionally, and continued to speak slowly: "Next, there is another important task for you..."

"I'm a painter, and I'm good at painting. I want to paint the new house more beautifully. I painted the roof and the walls, and the brush flew like flying. Oh, my little nose, it's changed..." Daredevil Mao Shi was humming "The Painter" while flying the brush, standing on the ladder and drasticly painting the wall.

"Hey, Mao Shi, be careful, the paint is dripping on my cake!" Tang Chi who was standing under the ladder looked up angrily, complaining while protecting the cake in his hand.

"Eating while painting, this kind of thing can only be done by gluttons." Happy laughed, then turned to ask Linse beside him, "By the way, Linse, why don't you join them? "

Lin Se was fiddling with the abacus in her hands, and the smile on her lips grew wider: "Brother Song said that you don't need to do physical work, just use your brain."

As a shrewd miser, Linse is indeed more suitable for mental work.

"Everyone, Brother Song said you can rest!" Xiao Dan shyly poked his head out from the second floor and whispered.

"Yeah! It's time for snacks!" Tang Chi cheered, and rushed to the second floor first.

"I really don't understand..." Mao Shi shook his head helplessly, "Obviously he doesn't need to eat when he becomes a ghost, so he can be regarded as a weirdo."

"How many ghosts are not freaks?" Lin Se took a sip of the cold water in the glass and half-closed her eyes.

A small space was temporarily opened up on the second floor and used as a tea room, because the first floor is still under renovation and it is inconvenient to enter and exit.Also because of the renovation of the first floor, the books that were originally piled up on the first floor have also been moved to the second floor, making the entire second floor extremely crowded. If a batch of old books hadn't been disposed of, there might not even be a place to leave them.

The sleeves of Xie Daonian's arms were rolled up casually, and his hands with slender fingers and well-defined joints seemed to be careless, but they were moving methodically and leisurely on the tea set.Ironing the pot, pouring water, placing tea, pouring water, pouring tea, distributing tea, and serving tea, every step is done like flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.

In the scent of tea, all the ghosts each held a small white porcelain teacup, surrounded Song Lan and Xie Daonian, or sat on the ground, or leaned against the wall, chatting casually.

Song Lan took a sip of tea and narrowed her eyes.In the past, he rarely drank tea. When living abroad, he drank mostly coffee, instant coffee for convenience. He seldom drank tea, and even less often drank good tea.

I have to admit that although Xie Daonian is a bit strange in some respects, his tea making skills are absolutely top-notch, not inferior to those tea masters he has come into contact with before.

"How's the progress of the project?" Song Lan asked Lin Se, and Song Lan asked him to be in charge of the deployment.

Linser took out a small notebook, glanced at it, and said, "The bookshelves and the walls around have been painted, and they are just waiting to dry."

"What about the budget?" Song Lan asked again.

Lin Se said: "There is no problem at present, but if it is going to be refined in the future, I am afraid it will be a little difficult."

"I'll figure out how to pay later," Song Lan said, "You just need to keep the account."

The ghosts were listening to Song Lan's words carefully, but they didn't notice that Xie Daonian had made another pot of tea, and silently filled the teacup in front of him.

"Brother Song," Kai Kai raised his head, looked at Song Lan in puzzlement, and asked, "The original bookstore can still be opened again by simply tidying it up. Why did you redecorate it with such a big fanfare?"

Song Lan put down the teacup, glanced at Xie Daonian who was focused on making tea, sighed softly in his heart, and replied: "Now we can barely survive on the money from selling used books, but when the books are sold out and the money is used up, we will have to pay for it." What should we do? You can’t sit still and eat nothing, right? If you want to completely turn around, you must come to a reform!”

After a pause, Song Lan said again: "I checked the market and found that most of the physical bookstores are in a downturn, and many of them are closed, but I found that another business model is quietly emerging."

All the ghosts were excited and asked in unison: "What is it?"

"Internet celebrity bookstore." Song Lan twitched his lips, "For physical bookstores, discounts alone can no longer attract the public, because readers can choose to buy books online, and the discounts are stronger and more convenient. If so, why do you all Should I choose to go to a physical bookstore?"

Mao Shi differently agreed again: "I have liked shopping online since I was a human." While talking, Xie Daonian handed him a cup of freshly brewed tea. He was startled and thanked with a smile.

Song Lan said: "I did a small market research and found that most of the well-known physical bookstores in China have one thing in common—they are holy places for online celebrities to take pictures and check in."

Lin Se pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, seemed to understand something, and said thoughtfully: "That is to say, customers who go to the bookstore don't really want to buy books, but to take pictures?" Xie Daonian also went back to A cup of tea was stuffed in his hand.

Song Lan nodded and said, "That's right, for young people today, a bookstore is more like another scenic spot in the city, not just a place to sell books."

"No wonder Brother Song asked us to repaint the wall. Not to mention, I didn't think it was before I painted it. After I painted it, I found that it looks really good." Tang Chi interrupted while nibbling a biscuit, raised his head and took a sip. He drank up the tea that Xie Daonian handed him, and at the end he smacked his mouth twice - sweet biscuits and slightly astringent black tea couldn't be a more suitable combination.

"It's grey-blue." Xiao Dan added in a low voice with a blushing face. She was also stuffed with a cup of tea by Xie Daonian, and she was so ashamed that she didn't even dare to raise her head.

"There is also a bookshelf, painted in a log color, which looks much better than the original appearance." Qin Se was a little excited, he was very interested in any beautiful things.He took the teacup Xie Daonian handed him with a little excitement, and also presented him with an affectionate Flying Eye.

"After the paint dries, the floor should be replaced, and replaced with a solid wood floor that is slightly lighter in color than the bookshelf," Song Lan told Lin Se

Lin Se paused, and then asked, "This... cost a lot, right?" A miser only likes to make money and not to spend it.

"I hate that the child can't catch the wolf." Song Lan said lightly.

Seeing that he said that, Lin Se could say nothing more, just write down Song Lan's words one by one——

"The door of the store also needs to be changed. It didn't even have a door before, and the space is so unobstructed. It's replaced with floor-to-ceiling windows and glass sliding doors. It's a bit partitioned, and it looks more advanced." Song Lan said a little dry-mouthed. After drinking all the tea in the cup, he put the empty cup on the tea table casually.

"Lighting is also very important. We need to purchase a batch of embedded spotlights. The lighting should be in warm colors, and it will be built into the bookshelf at that time."

"I still need to buy a few sets of tables and chairs... two sets are enough, and I can't fit on the first floor. It's better to be ivory white, simple in shape, not too bulky. Qin Se, it's up to you to choose the tables, chairs and lamps. , report the account to Lin Se at that time."

"Leave it to me." Qin Shi said in an affectionate tone, and even winked at Song Lan.

Song Lan: "..." gay is gay.
