Chapter 148: The opening of the Nine Gates Book Club

"Really?" The storyteller and the scholar both put down the pens and papers in their hands and gathered around Gu Xiaoyou.

"Really, I'll show you the plaque." Gu Xiaoyou greeted enthusiastically and led everyone outside the door.

"Look!" Gu Xiaoyou pointed to the plaque on the door and introduced it word by word: "Nine Gates, Shu, Society, how about this name?"

"Jiumen Book Club... this is a good name, it means extending in all directions." A scholar praised.

"The calligraphy on the plaque is really good, strong and powerful, and the writing is full of power."

"Yes, the person who writes must be a broad-minded and passionate person."

Gu Xiaoyou listened to everyone's compliments on Mu Wuchen, with a proud look on her face. When she heard them praising Mu Wuchen, it was as if they were praising her.

Hehe, the friends she makes are great.

Gu Xiaoyou clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Okay, that's it for the plaque discussion. If you like to see it, you can see it when you go out. Now I want to say another thing."

Everyone acted like they were all listening, Gu Xiaoyou raised the approval document in his hand and said happily: We have the approval document to publish a book, all we need to do is register our name."

"Circuit it around, don't wrinkle the approval document." Gu Xiaoyou put the approval document into the hand of the nearest scholar.

"Yes." The scholar took it carefully, and everyone immediately came over to take a look. Their eyes became brighter and brighter as they looked, and everyone had happy expressions on their faces.

"It's great, my story can be known to more people."

"The story I made up can also be known to others."

"I need to polish my pen more and make it more beautiful."

"Great, then my handwriting needs to be neater."

Everyone started a heated discussion. Gu Xiaoyou was infected by their positive attitude and said with a smile: "I think you should choose a good title for the book first."

"You are right, you must first have a good title."

"Sir, let's choose a name now."

"Okay, I have a few names to choose from. Let's discuss them."

The storyteller and the scholars walked to the book club after a discussion. Gu Xiaoyou looked at them and looked at them as they were selfless in their discussion, and shook his head in amusement.

Now that I have the approval document, the booklet is almost complete.

Gu Xiaoyou hired some students to copy out the finished books. After all, there was no printing house, so he could only copy using the oldest method.

Fortunately, there were many students in the capital, so Gu Xiaoyou invited a dozen of them at once and arranged for them to copy books in an empty shop next to the book club.

A few days later, the books were quickly copied, with more than ten copies of each story. After checking it, Gu Xiaoyou felt that the book club could be officially opened.

In addition to the books edited by himself, Gu Xiaoyou also purchased a batch of books such as ancient Chinese poems and some interesting travel notes and folk skills in order to facilitate Liang'er's reading and provide students with the conditions for reading.

Books like these were shipped to the bookstore.

Since the book club wants to sell books, it needs to make some changes.

Gu Xiaoyou anxiously gathered the storyteller and scholars together and said loudly: "If the book club wants to sell books, you can't write books directly in the front hall. Some of you write in the cubicles, and some of you write in the rooms arranged in the backyard.

, don’t worry, the room in the backyard is arranged the same as the front hall, and you can take turns writing books in the cubicle.”

"Okay, it's all up to Boss Gu's arrangement." Everyone responded.

"Okay, let's just move everything and arrange the location yourself." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"Yes." Everyone started to act. The scholar put away all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones he used. The storytellers discussed and allocated the seats. In just one cup of tea, they allocated the seats and vacated the front hall.

.

Gu Xiaoyou was satisfied and asked her servants to remove all the tables in the front hall, and then arranged the book club according to the design drawing she drew.

It wasn't until the sunset that the bookstore was decorated and the whole bookstore took on a new look.

Gu Xiaoyou put the last few books on the shelf, looked around with satisfaction, and said to the two newly recruited guys: "You can go back and rest. Come over tomorrow at midnight."

"Yes, Boss Gu." The guys responded, turned around and retreated after seeing the courtesy.

Gu Xiaoyou looked around the book club a few more times, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he closed the door and left the book club.

At midnight the next day, the sun hung high in the sky and cast a ray of sunshine.

A gust of autumn wind blew by, bringing a refreshing feeling.

Gu Xiaoyou shrank his neck and took his hair away from his face, which was blown by the autumn wind. He looked at the number of pedestrians on the street and ordered: "Light the firecrackers."

"Yes." The guys responded, and each person took out a firecracker and lit the firecrackers on both sides.

The crackling sound of red firecrackers attracted the attention of pedestrians on the road.

After the firecrackers burned out, Gu Xiaoyou pulled off the red silk on the plaque and opened the door of the book club.

"Today is the opening of the book club. Our Shushuang mainly sells story books, as well as some books for reading. If you are interested, you can come and have a look inside."

Gu Xiaoyou gave a brief introduction, opened the door, and returned to the book club.

She did not want to promote the paper shop and do any reward activities. On the one hand, she was confident in the story of the book, and on the other hand, she was considerate of the hard work of the scholars and storytellers.

Some passers-by were curious and walked into the book club with a novel attitude.

As soon as we entered the door, the clerk behind the counter on the right side of the door greeted us warmly: "Hello, welcome to Jiumen Book Club."

The customer nodded and looked up at the interior of the bookstore. At this glance, he was attracted by the layout of the bookstore.

I saw a lantern hanging every few feet on the ceiling of the bookstore, with exquisite paintings drawn on it, some of which were pictures of ladies, and some of which were ink paintings. The patterns of each lantern were different. Just looking at the pictures was enough to attract attention.

Of course, this is not the most eye-catching place for customers. The most novel thing is the several strange bookshelves in the main hall of the book club.

In addition to the normal bookshelves on both sides, Gu Xiaoyou also placed four column-shaped shelves in the middle of the main hall, with books placed on the column-shaped shelves.

She also placed a few tables and chairs on both sides of the shelf, leaving an aisle, so that she would not have to waste time browsing books while walking, but could also select books and read them on the table.

The customer took a closer look and saw that this cylindrical shelf has books on all sides. Compared with the traditional bookshelf where only the book covers can be seen, the books placed on the cylindrical bookshelf reveal the covers and titles, which is more suitable for viewing and reading.

The customer picked up a book titled "The Legend of Aotian Tiangang Volume 1" from the shelf and flipped through it casually.

He was fascinated by this sight. It was the first time for him to read such a novel and interesting story. He couldn't help but stand there and read it carefully.
