Chapter 23 Long Vacation 1
When he woke up the next morning, Li Yincheng dazed and stretched out his right hand to carry Ren Xuan in the direction he was lying yesterday. Unexpectedly, he hugged her for nothing. He got up and rubbed her face, and then he could vaguely hear the sound of gurgling from the kitchen. He sniffed, as if he was cooking porridge.
Put on her clothes and walked to the kitchen. Ren Xuan was mixing cold dishes. Li Yincheng walked behind her back and gently hugged her waist and rubbed her face. "How long have you been getting up?" Ren Xuan frowned and said, "Go, go and get the toothbrush first." After washing up, breakfast was already on the dining table. A small pot of white porridge, a few steamed buns, and cold broccoli and pickled vegetables, and it looked like she was full of appetite. She walked over and kissed her forehead, "Thank you for your hard work, this is my first meal in this house." "I woke up early in the morning. Seeing that you didn't get up, I went downstairs to buy some vegetables and taste the taste." Ren Xuan's craftsmanship was pretty good. Li Yincheng, who had been eating canteen food for a month, ate two bowls in a row.
After dinner, Li Yincheng pressed Ren Xuan onto the sofa, cleaned the dishes by himself, wiped the table and washed the dishes. Ren Xuan sat on the sofa with a teacup with a smile and watched him work. During this period, Zhao Zhe called and asked if he wanted to go to the surrounding area with them. Li Yincheng said that he would be fine in the city these days.
"Let's go, take you to a good place." Li Yincheng took Ren Xuan out; took a car and turned left and right, and finally stopped at the door of a bookstore that looked very dilapidated. He bought books here a lot in his previous life. When he entered the bookstore, there were fifty or sixty square meters, and the dense bookshelf in the middle was filled with various old books. There were boxes of discs piled against the wall. There were three or five people scattered in the store, either flipping books in front of the bookshelf, or squatting in the corner of the wall to pick up discs.
Ren Xuan walked to the bookshelf and took out the sixth volume of "The Complete Works of Wang Zengqi" published by the Imperial Capital Normal University Press and flipped it. After reading it for a while, he closed the book with satisfaction and handed it to Li Yincheng, indicating that he would put it away first, "Boss! Are there any other volumes of this set of books?" The boss with long hair was squatting at the door smoking. When he heard Ren Xuan's question, he ignored it without looking back, "I don't know, the books are piled here, I want to turn it over by myself." The so-called old bookstore is like a street stall on antique street, and there are always people thinking about it.
I picked up treasures in an inconspicuous corner. After a while, these bosses were spoiled and the bookshelf was too lazy to sort them out. There were no spaces to put in. "The Forest in Norway" was next to "Yuwei Caotang Notes", "The Legend of the Dragon and the Dragon" next to "Three Fires and Guns", "The Shurang Sutra" and "The Forbidden Destruction Novels in Ming and Qing Dynasties" were neighbors... But those who like to come to such places to pick books still eat this set. From time to time, people with their eyes shine and their hearts were filled with joy to pull out a book from the bookshelf and read two pages and took it to pay the bill.
Ren Xuan likes this place very much. After a while, he took several books he found. Li Yincheng reached out and took them and glanced at the spine. "Dewey School" published by Hua Normal University, "Confucius" by Inoue Yasushi, and "English Poetry Translation" by Guo Moruo... It's a great era. The literary and artistic young women of this era have not yet learned to go to Starbucks or go to Lhasa to cleanse their souls. A small old bookstore can bring them endless fun. Li Yincheng followed Ren Xuan and swept over one bookshelves and one bookshelves behind him, and occasionally took out a book shelf from the bookshelf and put it in the pile of books he was holding.
Although the bookstore is not big, it took quite a while to sweep the bookshelf. When the two of them carried the books to check out, they had lunch. After paying the bill, they packed the books in boxes and asked the boss to take care of them first. They went to a nearby snack shop and ate some Jincheng specialty snacks. The two of them returned here.
In the afternoon, the treasure hunt map of the two people changed to a pile of discs in the corner of the wall. It was filled with original music and videos with envelopes and sawn out of the gap. This kind of disc is called "tick-up" in professional terms. In the era when online downloads were not yet popular, "tick-up" became an important channel for young people from the mainland to come into contact with European and American popular culture. The creation of "tick-up" is like this. For example, Michael Jackson released a new album, which was originally planned to produce 20 million copies. Due to various reasons, it was not sold all of them. So how to deal with the rest? It is impossible to sell at a price reduction.
, if you find a warehouse to stock, it is meaningless and wastes financial resources. In order to protect the interests of singers and record companies, these discs must be destroyed; if they are burned directly, they will pollute the environment, and the raw materials for making discs have a recycling price value. Therefore, record companies generally use cuts, drill holes and other methods to damage these discs, making them lose their use function, and then package them in the name of waste plastic to export them to China. During the destruction process, some discs will inevitably survive and partially or completely retain the proper ones.
Audio-visual function, so when these used plastics arrived at the port, wholesalers sorted the discs and selected the more valuable boxes and packaged them to distributors in various places. These wholesalers adopted an interesting method when selling products. They messed up the discs and packed them according to fixed specifications. Distributors had no right to open the boxes to choose them. In this way, the interests of wholesalers can be sold no matter how unpopular the products are. For distributors, this is a bet on the stone.
Similarly, whether a box of discs can make money can only be known when opening the box. For example, a distributor bought a box of 100 discs from a wholesaler for 200 yuan. When he opened it, he saw that there were five albums of Gunhua Band, which were quite popular in the market and could buy more than 60 yuan. Then he would make 100 yuan with these five cards alone. Even if no one wanted the others, he would not be afraid. If he opened the box and saw that it was all dance music and other discs that no one wanted, he would lose money.
The discs piled up in the bookstore include music and movies. This time, the one in charge of picking has become Li Yincheng. He chose some music with soothing rhythms that women like, such as Neil Yang and Jonbetz's folk songs, Celtic style of Cranberry, and Erisha Franklin's soul music. In terms of the movie, considering that Ren Xuan likes education, he chose some movies like "The Dead Poetry Society" and "Sophie's World", and also picked up several romance films.
There is a saying in later generations that is right. If she is not well experienced in the world, she will take her to see the prosperity of the world; if her heart is vicissitudes, take her to be a carousel! For people like Ren Xuan who pay more attention to spiritual life, it is better to go to the old bookstore and go to the jewelry store; of course, if it is coco, the date is best in the shopping center. First go to the luxury store downstairs to shop goods, and then go to the high-end Western restaurant upstairs to open a bottle of red wine; if it is Sister Yu in her thirties, go to K**TV to sing a song "She Comes to Listen to My Concert", and then gently send a hug when her face is full of tears.
At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them walked out of the bookstore with big boxes. When they took a taxi back to the community, Ren Xuan bought some vegetables and meat in the supermarket at the door, and planned to continue cooking in person at night. When they arrived home, Ren Xuan took the books out of the boxes and placed them neatly on the bookshelf. "You will take these books away in a few days. Why are you doing so neatly?", "I'm used to it, and I want to organize the books when I see the books piled up in a mess. Besides, it's convenient for me to read books these days."
After packing the bookshelf, Ren Xuan started cooking. Li Yincheng helped in the kitchen. Ren Xuan made hot and sour potato shredded potatoes, pickled vegetables and fish, and a pot of seaweed egg flower soup. Although it was a simple home-cooked dish, it tasted unique. After dinner, Li Yincheng cleaned up the kitchen. The two of them flipped through the new book they bought today on the sofa. Ren Xuan held a book "Selected Poems of Mu Dan", and Li Yincheng was pillowing on her thighs, looking at the "Legend of the Galaxy Heroes" published by NMG Publishing House. Looking at the image of Ximan in the shape of a barbarian on the cover, Li Yincheng grinned.
After reading for a while, Li Yincheng felt that the room was too quiet, so he took out a CD and stuffed it into the speaker. In an instant, Jonbez's simple and unpretentious voice filled the entire room.
“Well-I’ll-be-da*mned
Here-comes-your-ghost-again”
‘This song actually has a story, I will tell you!’
