Li Yu looked at a lot and made a surprising discovery.
In this era, the industry is really diverse and can be said to be dazzling.
These types of vernacular books cover various fields, including history, mythology, folk tales, etc., and their forms are also different, including short stories, long stories, and storytelling.
This shows that the entertainment life of ancient people was not that boring.
She flipped through a few popular books. To be honest, some of the stories were very good, but what bothered Li Yu was that the whole book was written in classical Chinese and the expressions were very subtle.
If Li Yu hadn't majored in literature and language in college, he really wouldn't have been able to finish reading it.
I have to ponder the meaning of each sentence for a long time. Who wouldn't feel tortured when reading this kind of novel? Most of the genres are about the love between a talented scholar and a beautiful woman, or the love story between a man and a ghost.
Of course, there are also chivalrous men who fight for justice.
In the modern era of online literature, these are old-fashioned. Unless your writing is good and the story is exciting, it is difficult for ordinary readers to buy into it.
You should know that there are many types of online literature nowadays, and the imagination is even more wild and unrestrained, and the readers' tastes have long been cultivated.
Very picky!
But in this era, Li Yu took a quick look and thought it was okay, not as perverted as it is in modern times.
Back to the topic. When Li Yu saw this, she suddenly knew how to make money.
Living off the past!
Why not just go back to her old job? That's what she's good at, isn't it?
As soon as this idea came out, Li Yu became a little excited and wanted to start writing immediately.
Of course, this is unrealistic. The cost of studying in this era is very high. In addition to the tuition fee, the pens, ink, paper and inkstone are ridiculously expensive.
In the original owner's memory, there were pens and ink at home, all of which were the cheapest, but there was no paper.
So Li Yu decided to buy a piece of paper and try it out.
I went to the counter and asked the waiter, "How much is the cheapest piece of paper here?" The waiter directly replied, "50 cents."
Even without a mirror in front of him, Li Yu knew what expression was on his face.
She must have had a twisted expression of pain on her face, and the guy also felt that the lady probably thought it was too expensive.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you think it's expensive, Auntie, we have some paper that was accidentally caught in the rain. It may not look good on the surface, but it's more than enough for my son to practice calligraphy on. It's not expensive, only 35 wen per piece."
Li Yu thought, 35 wen is pretty expensive~_~
In the end, Li Yu had to pay the money. There was no other way, as he definitely needed paper to write the storybook.
35 cents is 35 cents, so I’ll buy one right away.
The waiter took it out very readily. Although Li Yu felt a pain in his flesh, he pretended to be calm and took out 35 coins to pay the bill.
Li Yu, who had just taken two steps, returned and asked the waiter:
"Brother, do you collect storybooks here?"
The clerk said, "Of course we will accept it, but our boss will have to take a look at it and decide whether to accept it or not."
Li Yu said, "I understand!"
The waiter endured it again and again, but felt that he could not bear it anymore.
Then he said, "Auntie, you bought so much paper, aren't you going to write a storybook? Let me tell you, our shopkeeper is very strict and won't accept all storybooks."
Li Yu said that he didn't write it and was just asking casually. He laughed it off and left.
The young man left behind had an expression that was hard to describe.
He obviously didn't believe what Li Yu said.
The young man felt that there were all kinds of people in the world. He had worked in this bookstore for quite some time, and this was the first time he had seen an old lady writing a storybook.
The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.
Coming out of the bookstore, Li Yu saw that it was getting late. It was already noon, so he headed back to where he had agreed to meet his children.
From a distance, she could see Lin Hai and his sister already waiting. Lin Hai also noticed her and quickly walked up to her and said, "Mom, are you done shopping? Why did you buy so much paper?"
Li Yu didn't want to say more and decided to tell her family when she made money.
Just say: "I am useful."
Although the brother and sister were confused, they had listened to their mother since they were young, so of course they didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that they were both smart enough not to ask any further questions, Li Yu asked them again:
"What did you two buy?
Lin Mei is a girl, and she is a 14-year-old girl, who is at the age of loving beauty.
I said to her, "Mom, I bought a hair flower, but I didn't buy the expensive one, I bought the cheapest one that costs two cents."
After saying this, he glanced at Li Yu nervously, fearing that his mother would think he was wasting money.
It's no wonder she was nervous. For this family, a hair flower was indeed a luxury.
Li Yu naturally didn't blame her, and just said: "Mother gave you money so that you can spend it."
Lin Mei immediately ran over, hugged her arms and said to her:
"I knew you were the best. Thank you. Here's the remaining money. Keep it for yourself."
Li Yu didn't act pretentiously and just took it.
Although Li Yu had never been a mother, she also enjoyed the other party's closeness at the moment.
In a good mood.
"What are you thanking me for? I'm your mother. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
Lin Mei just smiled and hugged her arm and acted coquettishly.
Li Yu turned to Lin Hai and asked, "What did you buy?"
Lin Hai was indeed the steady eldest son. He stretched out his hand and was about to give her the ten copper coins that Li Yu had given him.
As he gave it to her, he said, "Mom, I don't have anything I want to buy. You can keep the money."
Li Yu wouldn't be surprised by Lin Hai's behavior.
Lin Hai has been helping to share the burden of his family since he was old enough to understand. He knows better than anyone what it's like when his family is in the most difficult times.
It is basically impossible to let him spend money indiscriminately. To some extent, Lin Hai is actually the most like the original owner.
Despite this, Li Yu did not accept the money.
He shook his head and said, "Your wife has been married to our family for four years, haven't you ever bought her a hair flower? Go to the hair flower stall next door and pick one for your wife. We can't afford to buy a good one.
But the cheap ones that Meimei bought are still affordable. Don't let your wife suffer physically or mentally with you.
Oh, and buy Xiaobao some candied haws to make him happy. Don’t worry about the money, I’ll find a way.”
Lin Hai couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, he just felt sour.
To his mother, his brothers and sisters, and the child and the child's mother.
But he didn't say anything and went shopping in silence.
