Little Farmer Big Star

Remember in one second【】

Languo, a certain city.

Li Fan, Su Qing, Qin Yulin, Tang Ying, and Xiao Yatou arrived in front of the largest bookstore in the city.

Today is the first day of the release of "Sherlock Holmes". Li Fan is going to take a look at the printing quality of the book?

After all, this is the first time he has collaborated with Kesford Publishing House, so he still has to take a look before he feels reassured.

As soon as I walked into the door of the bookstore, I saw Tris's "The Bloody Sun" at the most conspicuous booth. There were many book fans around the booth.

At the counter, there were several people queuing up to check out, holding "The Bloody Sun" in their hands.

Qin Yulin whispered in Li Fan's ear: "Brother-in-law, it seems that other people's books are much easier to sell than yours!"

Li Fan said nonchalantly: "It's just the beginning now. It won't take long before the situation will be reversed."

Qin Yulin naturally believed this, turned his head and looked around, then said: "Brother-in-law, I saw your book, let's go over and have a look."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards a bookshelf.

Li Fan smiled, and together with Su Qing, Tang Ying, and the little girl, they also walked towards the bookshelf pointed by Qin Yulin.

The bookshelf is a new bookshelf, and the location is good. A dozen brand-new "Sherlock Holmes" books are neatly placed on it.

It's just a pity that there are no book fans in front of the bookshelf to choose books.

Li Fan had already expected this situation, and was not surprised or anxious. He knew that this was only temporary.

Li Fan took down a book from the bookshelf, carefully read the writing, back, and spine, and then briefly flipped through the inner pages of the book.

Then he nodded secretly, there was no problem with the printing quality of the book.

Then I took a closer look at the illustration on the cover.

The illustration is an image of Sherlock Holmes. He is sitting on a wicker chair. He has a very thin face, a hooked nose, and a square and protruding jaw. He is holding a pipe in his left hand. He looks like he is deep in thought.

This illustration was drawn by Li Fan himself and sent to Aihuduo's mailbox together with the manuscript. The illustration is based on the old man Alves.

It is seventy or eighty percent similar to the old man.

Of course, it is also consistent with the original portrayal of Sherlock Holmes’ appearance.

After reading it, Li Fan was about to put the book back on the bookshelf when he suddenly heard a voice that seemed a little surprised, "Oh! It's really good. It seems I'm not the only one who is planning to buy Mr. Li Fan's book." New product.”

Obviously, he was a customer who was going to buy "Sherlock Holmes". When he saw the book in Li Fan's hand, he thought Li Fan was also a book fan.

Li Fan felt happy and turned around to see that the person speaking was a young man in his 20s.

When the young man saw Li Fan turning to look at him, he said apologetically: "Oh, I'm sorry, sir, I disturbed you."

Li Fan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you didn't bother me. Are you here to buy this book?"

As he spoke, Li Fan raised the "Sherlock Holmes" in his hand.

The young man nodded and said: "Yes sir, I came here specifically to buy Mr. Li Fan's new book. I guess you are from China too, right? No wonder you want to buy Mr. Li Fan's new book."

Li Fan did not deny the young man's statement, but asked with interest: "Other people don't seem to think highly of this book. There are no other customers here except you and me, which also shows this. Why do you think so?" Are you going to buy this book? Aren’t you worried that it won’t look good?”

The young man shook his head and said: "No, I'm not worried. On the contrary, I think Mr. Li Fan's new book will be very good. Many people are not optimistic about this book just because they think that Mr. Li Fan will spend a few days reading it." The quality of the books they create is certainly not very good. But they seem to have forgotten that everyone generally believed that Mr. Li Fan's "Scarborough Fair" was just an ordinary good song. But what was the result? , I think the reason why Mr. Li Fan decided to use only a few days to innovate the book is because he only needed a few days to create the most perfect book, just as he only needed two hours before. Scarborough Fair."

After hearing this, Li Fan agreed with the young man's words and said with a smile: "I think your idea is correct. This book will not disappoint you."

The young man nodded and said: "Of course, I am very sure of this."

After saying that, the young man took out a copy of "Sherlock Holmes" from the bookshelf, said goodbye to Li Fan, and took the book to the counter to check out.

After the young man left, Li Fan and others also left the bookstore.

Li Fan mainly wanted to go into the store to confirm the printing quality of the book. After confirming, he left naturally.

As for the sales situation, Li Fan has never been worried. Even though the current sales seem not to be good, it will definitely not take too long for book fans to rush to buy it.

After leaving the bookstore, Li Fan and others continued to play. Today is already the 27th. In two days, they will have to return to China.

…

Although the current sales of "Sherlock Holmes" are not very good, it is not uninterested. There are always some detective fans who will choose to buy it for various reasons, like the one Li Fan met in a bookstore before. That guy is average.

After they got the book, they first looked carefully at the character illustrations on the cover, and felt an inexplicable throbbing in their hearts.

Then open the cover and you will find the first story "A Study in Scarlet".

"Could this be a series of stories?" Questions like this,

^0^ Remember in one second【】

It flashed through their minds, and then they started to see it straight.

"In 1878, after receiving my doctorate in medicine at the University of Longton, I went to Netley to take the required courses for military medicine.

After completing my course there I was immediately attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as assistant surgeon.

…”

The background of the story takes place in 1878. Book fans are not surprised by this. Many detective novels will choose this century as the setting.

However, this work seems to be written in the first person with "I" as the protagonist, which makes book fans slightly frown. They still prefer to read the third person.

Of course, although they frowned a little, they did not give up because of this, but chose to continue looking down.

As they watched, their eyes lit up. They discovered that the writing angle of this work seemed a bit special. The "I" called Watson did not seem to be the protagonist. The protagonist seemed to be someone else.

"Interesting." The book fans exclaimed. They had read many novels, and this was the first time they had seen such a writing angle.

The beginning of the story is that after Watson completed the military doctor's course, he worked as a military doctor in an army of the Lan Kingdom. He was injured in a war, contracted typhoid fever, and became very weak.

Soon after, Watson returned to Lan Country to recuperate. His financial situation was a bit bad, so he decided to find a less luxurious place to live.

One day, he met his former assistant, little Stamford, in front of a bar called Kretlian.

Watson told little Stanford that he planned to find a place that was not expensive and more comfortable.

Little Stamford said that another guy also told him that he wanted to find a place that was not expensive and more comfortable.

That guy is called Holmes. According to little Stanford, Holmes is a somewhat weird guy.

"Sherlock Holmes?" All the book fans nodded. Holmes was obviously the protagonist.

Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
