Chapter 514: The Miserable Su Family [Six Thousand Chapters](1/2)
Entering Shendu, the first thing you see is a main road that can drive eight carriages side by side. However, despite such a wide road, it is still crowded with people and airtight, which shows the large population of Shendu.
.
"It deserves to be the capital of the gods. It's really different." Su Ping'an couldn't help but sigh.
He still remembers that when he first arrived at Daming Mansion, he was amazed by the prosperity of Daming Mansion. However, when he saw the grand scene of the Divine Capital again today, he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
Su Pingan chuckled and shook his head, then raised his feet and blended into the crowd in front of him.
"The fragrant eight-treasure rice is sweet, glutinous and non-sticky to your teeth. Come and try it all..."
"The flavored dried meat from the north is full of texture. Sir, why don't you weigh ten kilograms and go back to try it out?"
"All kinds of four treasures of the study, essential items for scribes, exquisite in shape, high in quality and low in price, don't miss it..."
…
Su Pingan passed through the noisy crowd and went straight to a restaurant.
"Dragon and Phoenix Tower, is this implying that everyone who can come here is either a dragon or a phoenix?!"
Su Ping'an glanced at the name of the store, and it looked a bit impressive.
But these are just some little tricks of businessmen, just for some gimmicks.
Walking into the restaurant, the decoration inside is quite good. Not only is it full of nobility and elegance, but there is also a sense of craftsmanship and craftsmanship in it. It makes people feel that coming here can not only enhance their class and status, but also not make people feel uncomfortable.
He is a nouveau riche, so being able to do this shows that this restaurant is extraordinary.
Su Ping'an saw all this, nodded secretly, and then casually wandered around the store.
When entering a restaurant in Shendu, the first thing you should look at is the Wen Bang.
When you come to the literature list, you can just swipe at it and you will see the scores of the books on it. On the literature ranking list, the total number of readers is either hundreds of thousands or millions. The number of readers alone is more than that of famous books.
Any restaurant in Daming Prefecture has done a lot, and even Daming Prefecture’s list cannot even match the popularity of this restaurant.
"This restaurant alone has a total visitor count of several million in a month. This is too exaggerated."
Su Ping'an was secretly dumbfounded by this.
You know, "Dou Po" has been in Damingfu for so long, almost a year, and it has only accumulated more than 10 million. However, in just one store in one month, the number one book has 6 million copies.
The total number of viewers is simply terrifying!
He briefly browsed through the books on the literature list and found that the story of Shendu was quite different from that of Daming Mansion.
The scribes in Daming Mansion wrote books only after the appearance of the 'Wandering Blue Star', which stimulated the minds of major literary cultivators and made them come up with many different stories. But here in the Capital of Gods, in
Before "Wandering Blue Star" was spread, many different themes appeared here.
Such as farming stories, sweet pet stories, and disaster stories... Although these stories have not yet been clearly defined, and most of them are still being explored and evolved in these themes, it is not difficult to find their positive and progressive thoughts.
.
There are also some "Xianxian" type story books, in which various magic weapons and monsters have appeared. At first glance, they seem to be a combination of "Liao Zhai" and "Contemporary Fantasy", and the cultivation system used is not so
It's clear, but the positioning is a little vague, but Su Ping'an can still tell that this is a book on the edge of the primary 'xianxia' theme.
"It's interesting. The style of writing in Shendu is indeed better than other places. Even the story themes are much more complex and fresh than other places..."
Su Ping'an finally had a general understanding of the storybook in Shendu.
However, he did not come to the restaurant to explore these things this time. When he first came to Shendu, he had to find out what happened to the Su family first.
In the letter, the old man Luo Lie simply said that something happened to the Su family, but he didn't know the specific cause, so Su Pingan had to investigate it all by himself.
As for checking information, it is naturally the easiest place to inquire in places like major restaurants and flower houses where there is a lot of traffic.
"Little Er, let me have a few plates of your signature dishes and a bottle of sake."
Su Pingan then found a seat on the second floor where there were many people and sat down. After sitting down, he focused on his surroundings and listened to the words exchanged by the guests.
However, there was too much chatter around, and the content of the exchanges between those people was all about discussing some storybooks in the store. They were either talking about so-and-so opening a new book, or which story about so-and-so was so irritating... In short,
It was some inconsistent news that made Su Ping'an frown frequently.
"Oh, by the way, have you gone to see it today? "Dragon Movie" has already topped the rookie list!"
"What, so fast?"
"Seriously? I've already said that it can take first place, but you still don't believe it. Now let's see what happens. You're right, huh..."
"This "Tian Long Ba Bu" is really amazing. Not only did this book create a new genre of "martial arts", it also directly established its reputation as the first "martial arts" book. Now it has won the first place on the rookie list.
I believe it won’t be long before it becomes a huge hit in the city of Gods!”
"More than that, I heard that the creator of "Dragon Babu", "Susheng Xiaomeng", not only created "martial arts" with one book, but also has a new work, and also created a new genre called "fantasy"
, that book seems to be called "Fights to Break the Sphere"... Yes, that's the name. It is said that this book is now very popular in Jiujiang Restaurant on Changle Street, and it has even taken the first place in "Dragon and the Eight Parts".
Although it is not on the rookie list, I think it is possible that this book will appear on the star list next month and compete head-on with 'Dragon Babu'!"
"What, this guy named 'Susheng Xiaomeng' is so powerful?"
"My two books are competing against each other on the star list? This is really unheard of..."
…
A few scribes over there had a heated debate about 'Dragon and the Eight Parts' and 'Fights Break the Sphere', and were still discussing which of the two themes was more attractive. However, after Su Ping'an next to him heard what they said, he was confused.
Confused face.
""Dragon", "Fights Break the Sphere"... and "Su Sheng Xiao Meng", this should be me they are talking about, right? But when did my book come to the capital of God and become so popular all of a sudden?
?”
Su Ping'an couldn't help but feel like he was dreaming when he saw how those people were so enthusiastic about his books.
In order to find out the situation, Su Ping'an decided to go to the "Jiujiang Restaurant" that these people called "Jiujiang Restaurant" to get a feel for the situation and see what was going on.
After leaving the restaurant, it was already afternoon. After several inquiries, Su Ping'an finally found Changle Street. Then he followed the street and naturally saw the signboard of Jiujiang Restaurant.
Jiujiang Restaurant's shop is not big, it is about the same as Qingfeng Restaurant in Daming Mansion. Such a shop would be considered a big shop in other places, but in Shendu City, such a shop can only be considered average.
Walking into the store, Su Ping'an found that the business inside was extremely good. People were coming and going, and the place was full of guests, making it extremely noisy.
"This little brother, please come in. You look like you are from out of town. I don't know if you are going to eat or stay in a hotel. We can provide services for you here!"
Su Ping'an had just arrived in Shendu. Although he had changed his clothes, he still preferred the style of Daming Mansion. Therefore, the sophisticated shopkeeper in the store could tell that he was an outsider when he saw his dressing style.
Su Ping'an didn't mind either, he just smiled lightly, ordered a few side dishes and a pot of tea, and then struck up a conversation with the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, the business in your shop is good. When I was in other restaurants before, there was
It’s bigger than your place, but the business is not as good as yours, what’s going on?”
The shopkeeper was none other than Long Cheng's father.
Because the store's business has been getting better and better in the past month or two, even if it hired people, it was still too busy, so he could only make a guest appearance and help in the store. When he heard Su Pingan's words, Long's father's face changed.
He couldn't help but feel a little proud, but he still said modestly: "Young man, you don't know something. It's all because of the good storybooks in our store. As early as two or three months ago, the business in our store was actually the same.
So-so, but my son was dispatched by the Academy of Arts and went to some place in Daming Prefecture. When he came back, he brought back several new story books. He said they were written by new friends he met in Daming Prefecture.
He said those books were very good, so he signed a contract with him and brought several of his friend's books to the capital.
I originally thought that books from other places were definitely not as good as ours in Shendu, but I didn’t expect that my son’s friend was really amazing. As soon as the storybooks he wrote were hung up in our store, it didn’t take long for the store manager to discover them.
. The elder inside saw that those books were amazing, and later he worked with several old friends to recommend them to the rookie list. When people outside saw that the elder inside had taken a fancy to the books here, they all rushed in.
, and then it got out of control..."
"Is there such a thing?"
After hearing this, Su Ping'an probably figured out what was going on, and he quickly thought of who the 'son' the shopkeeper mentioned was.
Dispatched by the Academy of Arts...
Went to Daming Mansion again...
I also brought back several books by Su Pingan...
All things considered, there is no one else but Dragon City.
After attending Confucian Shengwen Mountain, Longcheng was amazed by Su Pingan's talent because of the excitement of "Wandering Blue Star". Then he went to Qingfeng Restaurant to visit Liu Qingxi and read several other books by Su Pingan.
He was so shocked that he decided to bring all of Su Ping'an's books to the capital of God.
When Long Cheng left, Su Pingan was still on his way to the Fourth Mountain, so the two did not say goodbye formally. At that time, Liu Qingxi casually mentioned it to him, and Su Pingan didn't pay attention. Unexpectedly, Long Cheng brought the book back to God.
After all, he actually became a publicity hit.
"No wonder when I was at the border, I always felt that the literary spirit was constantly improving. It turns out that in addition to Daming Mansion, there are also Shendu who are working hard..."
Su Ping'an finally figured everything out.
Father Long was still beside Su Pingan and continued to introduce: "... In addition to those few books, my son's friend is said to have created a new chess game called 'Xiangqi'. This 'Xiangqi' is even more exciting."
No, after the chief and his friends played a few games, they immediately felt that this 'xiangqi' was of great significance. As early as three months ago, they pushed this 'xiangqi' to the newspaper. It was said that it was no longer available.
How long will it take for it to pass the final review and then be published in newspapers?
This chess game was spread in our restaurant. Once it is published in newspapers, our restaurant will also become famous all over the world..."
"..."
