    In the early morning, the mist mixed with fireworks drifted all over Xunxian County.

    Various breakfast stalls were the first wave of excitement, followed by the market, and various shops opened one after another, and the whole county suddenly came alive.

    Caishi Street is the most inconspicuous, in a shop called "Chengyou Bookstore".

    Tao Qian slowly closed the account book, and let out a mouthful of stale air that had accumulated overnight.

    I stayed up all night and read this diary account book.

    Tao Qian already has an understanding of the world's prices and many details, and has integrated into the new identity without any obstacles.

    He straightened up and went to the back sleeping bunk first.

    When I came back again, I had an extra green cloth bag in my hand, opened the mouth of the bag, and listened to the tinkling for a while.

    ?When it stopped, there were always a few silver dollars, a few silver dimes, and dozens of copper plates on the counter.

    Tao Qian counted it first, frowning.

    Then, counting a second time, it wrinkled even tighter.

    Didn't count the money for the third time, just put the money back into the purse, and muttered helplessly:

    "The family's savings have been lost in half a month. There are only eight yuan and seven cents left, plus fifty-three copper dollars. You are really a prodigal."

    "One copper dollar can buy ten or eight candies, or a piece of pancake with refueling sticks, add another one, and add a bowl of Hu spicy soup. The purchasing power seems to be OK, but it can't stand it. This is the total assets.  .¡±

    "Let's not talk about the usual expenses such as food, clothing, and entertainment. The monthly rent of this store alone is 20 yuan, and the biggest item is the purchase of books"

    "That is to say, I am very poor now."

    Tao Qian pinched the purse and complained about Yuan.

    According to the current prices, it is difficult for him to keep this Chengyou Bookstore from closing down for a month.

    The only thing that comforted Tao Qian was that there was actually a way to make money hidden in the ledger.

    It's just that the original owner felt that it was degrading, so he didn't continue.

    "The so-called food and sex are also full, and then satisfy the spiritual life. This is perfectly normal. How can it be degrading?"

    "If you don't have any business later, go to the bookstore and look for it. I bought the whole set of "Flower Shadows across the Curtain", "Empty Illusion", "Lianxiang Companion" and "Zhen Zhenyi History".  The prettiest kid in Tiaocaishi Street."

    "Scholars are really boring. They think these books are too vulgar. They reprimand the guests who come to the door, but quietly write down the titles of the books in their diary."

    "Sure enough, can the person who writes the diary be a decent person?"

    Tao Qian put the money bag in his bosom, and used complaints to dilute his daze after rebirth.

    Maybe it's because it has become "undead weird", or the mood is too agitated.

    Having not slept all night, Tao Qian was not sleepy at all.

    Hearing all kinds of cries coming from outside, Tao Qian simply got up and washed up.

    A few minutes later, he solemnly opened the door.

    Immediately, the sky brightened in front of my eyes, and the lively scene rushed over with a strong sense of reality.

    Although it was only eight or nine o'clock in the morning, the county town was already full of people.

    Tao Qian was stunned for a few seconds, and then slowly and seriously, he took all the pictures in front of him into his eyes:

    A steaming wonton stall with a lot of customers.

    An old beggar lying on the ground at the entrance of the alley, struggling to pick up a broken cornbread.

    A dozen or so refugees who fled from other places and entered the city early in the morning were ragged, yellow and emaciated refugees.

    Barbers knocking on locks on the street, hawkers selling all kinds of supplies.

    A rich kid who is rampaging through the city, trying to ride a foreign gadget called a "bicycle".

    Not far away, near the window in the attic of a new-style hotel, two slender ladies in cool clothes, holding coffee cups, chatting comfortably.

    The new-style soldiers who came from outside the city, wore military uniforms with rifles on their backs, and rode tall horses, crossed the main street.

    Wearing bunts, with a strong body and carrying all kinds of strange weapons

    "Plausible."

    Tao Qian's expression was complicated, and he sighed weakly.

    Just as I was about to do something, there was a gurgling sound in my stomach.

    This prompt sound reminded Tao Qian that he is now a human again.

    Without resisting, Tao Qian deliberately walked a little farther, went to the other side of the street, and bought a big bag of steamed buns.

    Walking along the way was not fast, imitating the walking style of the original body's pedantic scholar.

    When I went back to the bookstore again, the steamed buns in my hand were just scattered, and there was only one left, and the remaining temperature was three times."Scholar Tao, who is well-informed, must be confused. This is a foreign thing."

    "It's called Lao Shizi 'Holland Water'. It is said that it was passed down from Western ghosts and animals. A big merchant in the provincial capital opened a factory to produce it last year. Within a few months, it became popular in the entire provincial capital.  , I couldn¡¯t help trying something new.¡±

    "A few days ago, a branch factory opened in our Xunxian County, and it officially opened today, but it only supplies those high-end hotels and nobles for the time being."

    "Our two brothers saw that you were not in a good mood these days, so we asked the boss of Deshunju to help you get three bottles."

    "Come here and have a taste. Those who have drank it all say that this stuff is full of gas, and it is as happy as a fairy. That's a lot of energy."

    Tao Qian was a little uncomfortable with the two people's "self-familiarity" performance, but as the conversation continued, he soon became familiar with it.

    The memory of the original body takes effect at this time.

    Tao Shusheng is pedantic and stubborn, and he doesn't know how to adapt. The bookstore was cheated as soon as it opened. From this, it can be seen that he has no real friends, let alone good friends, and he must have no distractions.

    Instead, I gradually became acquainted with the two neighboring store owners because of some gaudy and forbidden books.

    Both of them were slightly older, and they were both shrewd small businessmen. They could see that Tao Shusheng was a kind and precious person, and he would take care of him from time to time.

    Of course, no matter how you are not a relative, you cannot prevent the original self from ending when it is appropriate.

    Listening to Li Sanyu's words, Tao Qian followed his original memory and naturally expressed doubts.

    More naturally, curiosity and dissatisfaction appeared in the eyes.

    Throwing away the abacus in his hand, he walked over, picked up the glass bottle, and said first:

    "Happy like a fairy? I don't believe it."

    "Isn't it just a bottle of water?"

    After finishing speaking, Tao Qian deftly filled the mouth of the bottle into his mouth.

    Ton ton ton!

    Hiccup!

    In one breath, the whole bottle was wiped out.

    The face that was still a little sad suddenly stretched out.

    Tao Qian raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, gave a thumbs up to the two who were really confused, and then said comfortably: "I don't know if a god is a god or not, but ah, it's really exciting. ?
