"Welcome!".

As soon as I walked into the store, a girl in a pink cherry blossom kimono greeted me with a smile and a smile in her lazy bun, bowing with respect.

This is the "welcome" that some grades of shops will have, and young and beautiful women with sweet smiles will do this kind of work to add some subsidies to their families.

Looking through the dazzling shelves one by one, Yuxia's final goal is set on the wine shelves. Choosing a gift is a very challenging thing, and the middle-aged men in Konoha Village like to drink a little wine after dinner, so he decided to use "wine" to find out the news.

There were three kinds of sake on the wine shelf, and Yuxia looked at it, took two bottles of shochu with slightly better quality and put it in a white porcelain wine container, and weighed it in his hand. Looking at the price again, it happened to be five thousand taels a bottle, and the money in his hand was enough, so he turned around and went to the counter to pay the bill.

As for sake, beer, and the like, he believed that the uncle would not like it. Only strong soju can ignite the exuberant flame in the uncle's heart.

There is a street in the eastern business district of Konoha Village with a variety of shops, including a small and sophisticated bookstore with a very comfortable décor. Youxia used to do a lot of system-released errands in this bookstore, and he became familiar with the bookstore owner after coming and going.

The owner of the bookstore is a ninja who has been on the battlefield. After being seriously injured during a mission, he retreated. When he was recuperating in Konoha Hospital, he had a long-term relationship with the medical ninja who took care of him, and it became a good story. And now, running a bookstore, the owner is happy every day.

Pushing the door and walking into the bookstore, Yuxia heard the phrase "Welcome, look at it casually", the middle-aged man's unique calm voice, mixed with a bit of laziness.

In order not to be dazzling, the lights in the bookstore are soft warm orange, and people feel comfortable and relaxed when they enter here. Yuxia walked to the store, and sure enough, he saw a raunchy middle-aged uncle wearing a navy blue kimono, with his fists propped up on his chin, leaning against the table and closing his eyes.

With a roll of his eyes, Yuxia quietly opened the cork of the wine bottle, then raised the white porcelain bottle under the bookstore owner's nose and carefully fanned it a few times with his right hand.

"Huh?" The bookstore owner opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed the white porcelain bottle with his hand, and poured it into his mouth violently, the spicy taste instantly burned his throat and burned his heart.

"Good wine!" Satisfied, the bookstore owner looked up at Youxia, who was smiling like a cat stealing fish, raised his eyebrows and said, "Ah, Xiao Youxia, I haven't seen you for nearly a month, why did you come here with soju tonight? "

"Hehe...... " Yuxia laughed twice, then lifted another bottle of soju in his hand, shook it in front of the bookstore owner, and then put it on the wooden table, making a dull sound, he said, "Boss, don't you miss you? What's the matter, you don't miss me after a month?".

Touching the beard on his cheeks, the bookstore owner also smiled and made a gesture of "please be seated". After watching Youxia kneel and sit down, he reached out and pinched Youxia's face, and said, "I really miss you kid, this month is not good, and there is less flesh on your face." "

Yuxia didn't care about the bookstore owner's actions, the two were old acquaintances, just an expression of the elders' liking for the younger ones. For example, the proprietress of the flower shop, Mrs. Yamanaka, also known as Kasan of Ino, likes to touch her hair. And the grandfather in the cutting tool shop likes to pat himself on the shoulder.

Touching his head, he looked at the bookstore owner with sincere eyes, and humbly asked for advice: "Boss, how is the publishing house in our village, can you give me a brief introduction to the situation?"

After taking another sip of soju, the bookstore owner stared at Youxia with some suspicion, and asked puzzledly, "Publishing house, why are you asking this? Do you want to open a bookstore like me?"

With a wry smile, Youxia shook his head, and said a little pitifully: "Boss, are you making fun of me? You know, I even have to solve the problem of food and clothing by doing tasks, where can I have the money to open a bookstore? It's just curiosity, just tell me." "

Take people with short hands and drink people with soft wine. The soju has already been eaten, and what Youxia is inquiring about is not an industry secret, it is something that almost every bookstore knows, and the bookstore owner told Yuxia all about the situation of the publishing house while drinking and talking.

The huge Konoha Village, if you want to say that there are two leaders in the publishing industry: Maruzendo and Iwanami Shoten. The other publishing houses are just small businesses, and the market is very small.

As the saying goes, "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers." "

This is also the publishing house of Konoha Village, it should be a fight to the death, but this Maruzendo and Iwanami Bookstore can be said to be well water and not river water.

After all, as the saying goes: "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female." Although there is no distinction between this Maruzendo and Iwanami Shoten, there is a difference in the type of publication.

Iwanami Shoten has a traditional style and is a little old-fashioned, and most of the books it makes are traditional literature, which in modern parlance is: review the classics, inherit the culture, and realize the continuation of the fire of Konoha Village!

In contrast, Maruzendo is much more laxative, and the content published is also miscellaneous and miscellaneous, and Jiraiya's "Intimacy Paradise" is also published by Maruzendo, and other books such as manga are also published.

By the time the bookstore owner finished explaining, the bottle of wine had already gone halfway down, and his cheeks were flushed with drunkenness, but he was still conscious.

After listening to this, Yuxia breathed a sigh of relief, and he figured out the situation of the publishing house in this Konoha Village. After thinking about it, he looked at the bookstore owner who was still confused, and asked quickly, "Boss, what do you think are the better books sold in the bookstore?"

"Hiccup~" The bookstore owner burped, pointed at Youxia with his right index finger, and said: "You can ask the right person! The most popular book in the store is "Intimate Paradise" made by a great god! Hehehe, I have a whole set of books at home! This is a book that all men in the village love to read! It is the book that ranks first in the sales department, and the second is far away! Xiao Youxia, do you want Uncle to give you a few copies?".

"Ahem, boss, I'm still young! Don't teach bad children!" Yu Xia coughed twice, a serious nonsense. What he thought in his heart was that it was just a "book" of the level of "Intimacy Paradise", which couldn't make him feel moved.

After all, ......

"Oh, looking at Uncle's memory, I forgot that you are still young!" The bookstore owner patted his brain, took a sip of wine, and continued: "Other best-selling books, that is, a poetry collection by Iwanami Shoten, in addition to that, the ninja autobiography, "Intimacy Paradise" is a little easier to sell. After all, the author of "Intimacy Paradise" is also a little slow to publish the book. "
