Chapter 226 Tips for choosing books! Teacher Dong’s Story ([-]-in-[-])

Dong Yuhui and Lin Feng were chatting and laughing, then brought everyone to the gate of a farmhouse.

"After the new rural area was renovated here, many people started a farmhouse business on the spot. I have eaten all of them. The wood-fired turkey at this restaurant is the most authentic."

When Dong Yuhui introduced him with a smile, a man in an apron who looked like a boss waved hello in the courtyard:

"Teacher Dong! Are you here? Hey, new friend?"

Dong Yuhui nodded and said loudly:

"Boss, I have praised your craftsmanship to the heavens. You must show off your housekeeping skills!"

"Okay! There are six of you, four and a half-year-old children, two chickens? Two pounds of cornmeal pancakes?"

"Okay, just look at the arrangements."

After communicating with the boss, Dong Yuhui turned to Lin Feng and said:

"Come on, just follow me into the private room. It's not popular to order food here, so let the boss arrange it."

"it is good."

Lin Feng naturally had no objection.

Several people entered the box and took their seats. Zhou Zicheng picked up the teapot and poured water for everyone.

Smelling the aroma of firewood and meat in the air, and drinking tea made from fried rice, the group all felt a rare sense of peace and comfort.

After a while, Sun Wei remembered something and said to Dong Yuhui:

"Teacher Dong, I want to read more books. Do you have any recommendations?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhou Zicheng also said with a smile:

"Teacher Dong, when will you hold a special book live broadcast? I'll sit in your live broadcast room and buy some books."

Upon hearing the two children's request, Dong Yuhui waved his hand with a smile and said:

"No need to squat in my live broadcast room. You guys will go to the teacher's library later. You can choose whatever you want and the teacher will give it to you."

"Ah? What's the point of this...?"

"Teacher, your book is for sale, we can't get it for free."

Dong Yuhui said nonchalantly:

"Teacher Lin's students are my students. What's wrong with giving you a little greeting gift?"

He put the final word directly:

"That `s a deal!"

Then, Dong Yuhui looked at Lin Feng again and said:

"I still have a batch of defective books in my warehouse. Most of them are caused by the covers being stained during transportation, or the printing being slightly misaligned, but it doesn't affect reading."

“I discussed it with the publisher and instead of sending it back and turning it into pulp again, we should donate it.”

"You will accept this batch for the children of Xiangzhang Primary School, right?"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded:

"You are trying to help the children in Xiangzhang Village by changing your ways."

"Okay, let me thank Teacher Dong for everyone~"

In a few words, the two settled the matter.

Seeing that the two of them had finished talking about business, Wu Peng weakly raised his hand:

"Well, two teachers, when we go to choose books later, how should we choose?"

"You can't just get the same copy, right?"

After saying this, Dong Yuhui chuckled and was about to take it all, when Lin Feng shook his head at him.

Dong Yuhui came to his senses immediately.

This is not a question of whether I can afford to give them away, but I want to take this opportunity to teach the children how to choose books.

So, the two exchanged glances, and Lin Feng said:

"Children, choosing books is actually very simple."

"what?"

The four children's faces were filled with the desire for knowledge, and they stared at Lin Feng intensely.

"The front and back covers of books will have three types of information: publisher, edition, and printing number."

"I won't explain the publishing house, you all understand."

"Edition means that the content of the book will be increased or decreased, and each change is an edition."

"The number of prints means the number of times this book has been printed."

"When you choose books, you only need to pay attention to these three pieces of information. Choose a large publishing house, a large edition, and a book with the largest number of prints. You will definitely be right."

After the words fell, Dong Yuhui clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"Isn't this method summed up when we were in college? After so many years, I thought you had improved. Unexpectedly, it's still exactly the same."

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly:

"Teacher Dong, tell me, how have you improved now?"

Dong Yuhui's smile suddenly faded:

"No."

Four children: "..."

The audience in the live broadcast room was amused by this scene.

"Hahaha, Teacher Dong is so cool!"

"Have you noticed that when these two people meet, Teacher Dong jumps up and down, but Teacher Lin always plays it safe?"

"This is a real good friend!"

"That's right, Teacher Dong has channels. The first thing that comes to mind is Xiangzhang Primary School. Why? Isn't it because of Teacher Lin?"

“The children will definitely be very happy when this batch of books is donated.”

"I see everyone's comments, you really don't study! Isn't the point of the criteria for selecting books that Teacher Lin just mentioned?"

"Haha, at this moment, a mother has silently taken notes. This is how I will choose my children's books from now on!"

"Qiaodou Sack, let me think about it... publisher, edition, printing number, right?"

"Damn, I was just having fun and didn't remember! Let's be a class representative!"

"The class representative is here. If you want to buy books, please ask Teacher Dong. Anyway, he has already picked them out."

"???"

"Wonderful!!"

"..."

While everyone was having fun, several children looked at each other and smiled secretly.

Sun Wei happily changed her words:

"When we go to Teacher Dong's library later, we can pick up whatever books we are interested in. Teacher Dong has already selected them in advance."

Zhou Zicheng also nodded fiercely:

“I believe in Teacher Dong’s taste!”

Zhang Yunshu raised his hands and held Teacher Dong:

"Thank you, Teacher Dong. When we select books later, please check them."

Dong Yuhui was happy and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder:

"You students are much better than you..."

Lin Feng smiled helplessly and nodded seriously:

"You are right!"

After a few gags, the boss knocked on the door and came in.

He skillfully lit the wood stove in the private room, poured in the half-cooked chicken, added various side dishes, put on corn tortillas, and finally covered the pot with a bamboo lid.

The smell of burning wood, mixed with the aroma of chicken and tortillas, rose throughout the private room.

This alluring fragrance made the four children's stomachs growl in unison.

"..."

The boss knew that this was recognition of his craftsmanship, so he smiled and said:

"It will take another twenty minutes to get started. Wait a moment, and I will give you some snacks."

With that said, the boss turned around and went out, bringing a large plate of snacks.

These snacks are individually packaged with the Dong Fang Selection logo printed on them. “Come on, let’s all eat, Teacher Dong. I took this in your live broadcast room. Let’s support each other.”

Dong Yuhui was slightly surprised and said:

"Boss, as far as our relationship is concerned, just tell me and I will bring it to you."

"You spend money to buy it, and then you use it to entertain me. This... is so embarrassing."

The boss didn’t take it seriously and waved his hand:

"You helped our village sell rice, which increased the income of the villagers. We also want to give back to you."

"Don't worry, I didn't buy too much, I just support and mean it."

"Stop talking, I'm still busy and going to the kitchen."

After saying that, the boss quickly exited the box.

Dong Yuhui had a touching smile on his face and called several children with a smile:

"Try it, these snacks are very healthy, especially this hawthorn, which is very appetizing when eaten before meals."

Hearing this, Wu Peng and the others happily selected some of the things they wanted to eat, opened the packages and started tasting.

"Delicious, sour and sweet."

"The walnut kernels are crunchy, and the red dates wrapped on the outside are soft and glutinous. The combination of textures is wonderful."

"Mr. Dong, it's really appetizing. I'm even hungrier after eating it."

Compared with the other children who were full of praise, Zhang Yunshu picked a pack of each food, held it in his hand, and studied it carefully.

"Teacher Dong, I also run a small business at school, selling snacks."

Zhang Yunshu said without hesitation:

"My snacks are all purchased from supermarkets outside. To put it bluntly, the ingredient list is really not as clean as yours."

"But it's so delicious! So the sales are particularly good."

"I'll taste yours first."

After Zhang Yunshu carefully tasted every category, he spoke:

"Teacher Dong, these things are delicious, authentic and delicious."

"But, to be honest, there is no gap between it and those similar products outside."

"Especially in the face of technology and ruthless work, well...Teacher, to be honest, I'm not very good at fighting."

"Of course, I know that 'health' must be a big selling point for you."

"However, this product is different from a necessity like rice. There are too many choices and too many flavors. The repurchase rate is a big problem."

"You shouldn't sell this thing once and then download it, right? How can you keep selling it?"

Hearing Zhang Yunshu's question, Dong Yuhui smiled and responded:

"There are different ways to sell different goods. It's a bit difficult to explain the truth to you clearly in words..."

"It just so happens that the afternoon is the special snack show for Dong Fangzhen."

"How about you become my assistant and observe directly on the spot?"

Zhang Yunshu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:

"Okay, okay!"

Lin Feng patted Dong Yuhui's shoulder and said with a smile:

"It seems that I have sent you a very studious and studious student."

"But let's talk about the things in the afternoon. Now let's check if the chicken is cooked. Let's fill the five internal organs temple first."

Dong Yuhui laughed, reached out and opened the lid of the pot:

"Haha, it's almost done, let's get started!"

At the command, the children moved their bowls and chopsticks together, and each one ate deliciously.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room started discussing it.

"Did you hear? This afternoon is a snack special."

"This time, I will definitely get it!"

"I suggest not to grab it, because our kind of traffic is one-time, and it may affect Mr. Dong's subsequent production judgment."

"Yes, this is not rice. We eat it well and can keep buying it again."

"Besides, the production of rice and the production of snacks are not the same."

"Snacks are not easy to sell!"

"Yes, if it were as easy to sell as rice, there would be no need for the boss to 'support' it."

"The 'health' that Teacher Dong just mentioned is a big selling point, but the problem is that everyone knows that it is a selling point. Every snack shop claims that it is healthy. It is rounded off, which is equivalent to having no characteristics."

"Then the question is, how will Teacher Dong bring this product?"

"I don't know, but I have decided to stay in Teacher Dong's live broadcast room in the afternoon to see what happens."

"Squatting together! If Teacher Dong can sell rice with frequent golden sentences, he should be able to sell well."

"However, golden sayings are not something that can only be obtained if you have them."

"Stop talking, let's sit down in the live broadcast room this afternoon and talk about it later."

"..."

Amid the discussion among the audience, everyone finished their meal and returned to Dong Fang's selection base.

Dong Yuhui did not forget his promise and took a few children to the book warehouse first to let them choose books.

The children each selected a few books they liked, found a place to nest, and read comfortably.

Lin Feng knew that Dong Yuhui's live broadcast required a lot of physical and mental energy, so he was not in a hurry to reminisce with him. After a brief chat, he let him go for a lunch break.

As for himself, he also picked a book and read it quietly.

In this harmonious reading atmosphere, time flew by, and soon it was time for the snack live broadcast.

Dong Yuhui brought Zhang Yunshu into the room and started the live broadcast.

Lin Feng, along with Sun Wei, Wu Peng, and Zhou Zicheng, watched quietly outside.

This time, just after the broadcast started, Dong Yuhui discovered that the traffic in the live broadcast room increased extremely rapidly!

In the past, when it first started broadcasting, there were only a thousand people online in real time.

But this time, as soon as the broadcast started, nearly [-] more viewers came, which increased by a hundred times!

Even Dong Yuhui himself was surprised, and then he looked intently at everyone's comments:

"I said three numbers, 321, link up!"

"Teacher Dong, I want to give birth to a monkey for you, and you teach him to read!"

"Teacher Dong, for you, it starts with talent and ends with talent!"

"Teacher Lin, I can't grab it, you and I can't grab it, I still can't grab the rice, but I still can't grab the snacks?!"

"Hey, what kind of golden words can come from selling snacks? Looking forward to a famous scene!"

"..."

This unrestrained barrage left Dong Yuhui speechless.

"Staff, the audience is a little excited. The link will be uploaded later. I'll talk to you first."

The staff knows Dong Yuhui's character. He is not the kind of anchor who blindly pursues sales.

So, obediently and silently, he stopped connecting to the link.

Then, Dong Yuhui smiled and faced the camera:

"Viewers, please consume rationally. As the saying goes, no one's money comes from the strong wind."

"Let's talk lightly first about not wanting to buy anything."

Dong Yuhui looked at the camera and thought with some distress:

"Oh, there are so many enthusiastic audiences all of a sudden. We are not prepared. What are we talking about?"

After thinking for a moment, Dong Yuhui said:

"There are many new faces, and everyone may not know me very well, so let's talk about myself, shall we?"

After the words fell, the comments in the live broadcast room were all in agreement.

"Okay, okay, I like to hear it!"

"Teacher Dong, can you learn more about it?"

"..."
