The Xinhua Bookstore was overcrowded during the holidays, and a large circle of people gathered around the new bookshelf in the lobby on the first floor.
Zhang Zhong leaned on his height and looked inside. After searching for a while, he found his book.
The new bookshelf is very large, but "Jieyou Grocery Store" was not assigned to the "C position" but was placed on the side.
There is nothing we can do about it. There are a lot of new books released during the National Day, and many best-selling authors have released new books in various categories.
The new work "Flying Snow 2" by martial arts novel master Liang Yong has been released. Countless martial arts fans are celebrating the New Year. It is estimated that two or three people in the lobby on the first floor of the bookstore are here specifically for this book.
The new book "Xing Can" by the science fiction master is released, and science fiction fans are celebrating the new year with it.
In addition, Zhuo Wen, a literary giant who just won the "Pu Songling Award", also returned with his new book.
When Zhang Zhong saw these books on the bookshelf, he felt like a dog was beeping.
He had not negotiated carefully with Provoking Literature about the announcement of the new book, nor had he paid attention to any new books recently. But now that he saw these books, he wanted to ask Fang Xingkai: Do you have too much confidence in me?
Already.
As a mature publishing organization, Provocative Literature should know how to avoid the sharp edges. Now that a big boss publishes books, how can a small new author like him take advantage of the tiger's mouth?
Although among these books, the one that really conflicts with Zhang Zhong's book is Zhuo Wen's "The Ruins of the Countryside", the consumption power of readers is limited. When so many books suddenly appear on the market, they will definitely affect each other.
.
After all, readers in most categories overlap. It does not mean that readers who read martial arts novels will not read science fiction, and those who read science fiction will not read traditional literature.
Li Nan and the others are so optimistic about "Jieyou Grocery Store", should they be happy or depressed?
After reading it for a while, "Jieyou Grocery Store" did not appear to be too miserable among a bunch of new books by big guys. Instead, it felt like it was on a par with others.
Although "Jieyou Grocery Store" is on the sidelines, there are not many readers who go to it.
Zhang Zhong actually saw the two teenagers he met in the bookstore near his home last time. The reason why he was impressed was entirely because of the name of one of the teenagers - Yang Wei.
Yang Wei seemed to be trotting all the way here, a little sweaty, and the little fat man who came behind him was panting and sweating profusely.
"Viagra, what are you in a hurry for?"
The little fat man's voice was loud, and the others who were reading looked at them curiously. After all, the word "Viagra" was indeed a bit loud.
"Okay, you are my brother, please call me Wei brother from now on."
"You are older than me."
"I won't tell you anymore. If you don't go in, the book will be gone."
The little fat man looked at Yang Wei who was squeezing into the crowd, rolled his eyes, and cursed, "Aren't you finished reading all the books? It's not a waste of money to buy more."
"What do you know? This is called feelings."
While talking to the little fat man, Yang Wei squeezed in front of the bookshelf, looked around and found the location of "Jieyou Grocery Store", and he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were many books.
The reason why he came to Xinhua Bookstore early in the morning was because the bookstores near his home were out of stock.
Small bookstores in relatively remote areas are very cautious when buying new books, for fear of overstocking.
The owner of the bookstore near his home had a long-term vision and bought fifty copies of "Worry-Free Grocery Store" at one time. However, Yang Wei was only a few minutes late when he arrived, and all fifty books were sold out.
I heard from the boss that someone came over early in the morning and asked for forty copies in one go.
Yang Wei was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "Grandma, what's the big deal if you have money? Can you afford to buy so many books at home and read them? If you can't read them, how can I use them for cooking?"
Yang Wei squeezed out of the crowd with two books, and Xiaopang said, "I don't want Viagra, you don't have to get it for me."
"Go away, I bought this for my dad."
"Can't you just buy one?"
"I have money and I am willing, can you control it?"
The little fat man chuckled, "You bought it for Xiaomei, right? I heard you discussing the plot with her last time."
"You talk too much nonsense, let's go and pay."
Zhang Zhong watched the two people walking past him, and thought in a funny way, if he stopped them with his hand, and said to them: Come on, you are destined, let the author give you a big autograph.
What kind of expression will they have?
I'm afraid I might think I've met a madman.
…
After looking at the bookstore for a while, he couldn't get any clue. Anyway, the sales volume of "Jieyou Grocery Store" seemed to be pretty good. To what extent it was good, he couldn't estimate. After all, there were too many people coming to buy the book, and he didn't know.
Maybe you can also do statistics one by one.
With a relaxed mood, Zhang returned to Meng Mu's small building, holding in his hand a copy of "Jieyou Grocery Store" he had just bought.
Pengpeng was still drawing. At this time, the students who started class at 9:30 had already arrived, and Xu Yuhan was busy tutoring them.
After sitting in the rest area for a while, Xu Yuhan came over with Pengpeng.
This time Pengpeng painted a small house with a tree next to it. There was no obvious improvement in his painting skills, but compared to the previous painting, this painting used more colors and the lines were more complex.
"Dad, I drew a big house." Pengpeng showed his work to Zhang Zhong with a smile.
Zhang Zhong looked at it carefully and found that it could not be considered a big house at all, because the house was only half as tall as the tree next to it.
And this tree...how should I put it, it doesn't look like a tree, but more like a bent person.
"Pengpeng painted so well, and this big tree is so beautifully painted."
"Big tree?"
Pengpeng had a strange look on his face. He took his painting and looked over it over and over, "Pengpeng didn't draw a big tree."
Zhang Zhong scratched his head, pointed to the "tree" next to the house, and said, "Isn't this a big tree?"
Pengpeng's little face was stunned, "Oh, this is not a tree, this is daddy."
This is...me?
Zhang Zhong was confused. Although the tree looked like a person, it was still a tree.
Xu Yuhan saw Zhang Zhong's expression from the side and said with a smile, "Maybe this is how you look in Pengpeng's eyes...just like a big tree."
Dad, dad, are you my big tree?
Zhang Zhong smiled at Xu Yuhan, "I didn't expect that I could still grow branches."
"What children see in their eyes is always a little different from ours."
Zhang Dian nodded, chatted a few more words with Xu Yuhan, and prepared to leave with Pengpeng.
At this time, Xu Yuhan noticed the "Jieyou Grocery Store" in Zhang Zhong's hand and said, "I didn't expect that Dad Zhang would also like this book."
"Oh?" Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Teacher Xu also likes it?"
Xu Yuhan nodded, "I have been chasing it before. I heard that the single volume is on sale today, but I don't have time to buy it... Dad Zhang, please go slowly. I will take care of the other children first." A child over there raised his hand.
Zhang nodded and watched Xu Yuhan walk towards the child who was drawing. He took out a pen and wrote the words "Fifth Grade Vegetative State" on the last page of "Jieyou Grocery Store", and then left the book for rest.
