Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 67 The confident bamboo slip shopkeeper! The paper appeared and everyone was shocked!

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I will definitely take a close look at this store's tricks to deceive people."

After the boy finished speaking, he left the shop and headed east of the city.

The shopkeeper looked at the people outside the shop who were heading towards the east of the city.

There was a hint of disdain on his face, and the benefits of the bamboo slips were very generous.

He has been selling bamboo slips for many years and has seen too many people using deceptive methods for the sake of huge profits.

These people did not succeed in the end, and bamboo slips are still the best choice for people who need to write.

Although there are no customers in the shop now, he is not worried at all.

He believed that after the scam was exposed, customers would obediently return to his shop to buy bamboo slips.

To the east of Xianyang City, this is also a place with various shops.

At this time, many people were gathered outside a relatively large shop.

"The paper you can write on refers to this store."

"You can only write on bamboo slips. Isn't this store a scam?"

"Being able to open such a big store shouldn't be a lie."

“Scams like this have happened before, so you still have to be cautious.”

People around the store pointed at the newly opened store and whispered to each other.

They are all attracted by the paper that can be written on. These people want to see if the paper that can be written on is real.

"Everyone, this store is opening today!"

"Thank you all for coming to support me!"

A fat middle-aged man with a smile on his face walked out of the shop and looked at the people around him and bowed.

"Shopkeeper, it doesn't mean that your shop has paper that can be written on."

"So many people come here to see what paper is and that they can actually write on it."

"The shopkeeper should take out the paper and let us all take a look."

A scholar looked at the shopkeeper and directly expressed his thoughts.

The people around him nodded slightly when they heard the scholar's words. They all came here for the paper and wanted to see what the paper looked like.

"Don't be impatient. Since I told you to sell the paper, I will naturally take it out."

"Someone bring the case out!"

The shopkeeper looked at the waiter behind him and gave instructions.

Soon a few guys took out a special table and placed it outside the shop.

The people around looked at the counters with doubts on their faces. They didn't understand what the shopkeeper was doing when he brought out the counters.

"Three gentlemen, thank you for your hard work!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, three handsome-looking scholars walked out of the shop.

People around the store had a look of surprise on their faces when they saw these three people.

"I didn't expect to see the three Wang brothers in this newly opened store."

"These three brothers are very knowledgeable scholars. I didn't expect to see them here."

"It's really not easy for the shopkeeper to call these three brothers."

The people around looked at the three scholars and kept praising them.

The three handsome scholars in front of them are three brothers.

He is quite famous among the younger generation of scholars in Xianyang City.

Many scholars admire these three people very much.

"The shopkeeper is welcome!"

"Brothers, let's start!"

The three brothers were standing in front of the desk. A clerk had already put the writing pen and ink on the desk in front of the three of them.

Several more clerks held a few pieces of paper in their hands and placed them on the counter.

People around the store looked at the paper on the counter with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

This should be the paper the shopkeeper was talking about. This was the first time they had seen such a thing.

Can you really write on something so thin?
Although the people around him didn't speak, there was a hint of suspicion in their hearts. "Please watch carefully, we three brothers will write on the paper."

The eldest of the three brothers looked at the people around him and finished speaking, then picked up a pen and dipped it in ink and started writing on the paper in front of him.

The other two brothers are also like older brothers.

The three brothers wrote quickly on the paper, and soon the paper was filled with neat handwriting.

The people standing around the store were stunned when they saw this scene.

They used to write on bamboo slips, and only the rich could afford to write on brocade cloth.

Today was the first time they saw writing on something other than bamboo slips and brocade cloth.

Just now they thought the shopkeeper was lying, but now they were shocked when they saw the paper in front of them filled with words.

"I didn't expect that this paper can actually write on. I thought it was a lie just now."

“It’s surprising that so many words can be written on such a thin paper.”

"Writing on this is much easier than writing on bamboo slips."

"Haven't you noticed that writing on paper is much easier than writing on bamboo slips?"

People around the store looked at the papers covered with writing on the counters and expressed their opinions with excitement on their faces.

When writing on good bamboo slips, some of them will be blurry.

The paper on the desk in front of them was full of handwriting, and they could see clearly that not a single handwriting was blurry.

The shopkeeper, who was standing outside the shop, saw the surprised expressions on the faces of the people around him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Dear customers, now you should believe that the paper sold in our store can really be written on."

"You have also seen that the handwriting written on a piece of paper can fill two volumes of bamboo slips."

The shopkeeper looked at the customers around him and said with a smile on his face.

The people around the store nodded when they heard the shopkeeper's words. They had just checked.

A piece of paper full of handwriting can indeed fill two volumes of bamboo slips.

The shopkeeper looked at the expressions of the customers around him and continued:
"Our paper has another advantage. For those who don't have it, please take a look at the bamboo slips."

The shopkeeper said as he walked to the desk, picked up a piece of paper, folded it and put it into his sleeve.

"As you can see, this paper can be folded and placed in the sleeves."

"Can you please think about the bamboo slips and put them in your sleeves?"

“Not only can we write more words on our paper than bamboo slips, but it is also very convenient to carry.”

"As you can see in the handwriting, it is very neat and not blurry at all."

The shopkeeper looked at the customers around him and told all the advantages of paper.

People around the store were excited when they heard what the shopkeeper said. Just now, the shopkeeper easily folded the paper and put it into his sleeve.

They were very shocked. In the past, it was very inconvenient for them to carry bamboo slips with them when going out.

If they carry paper, they can put it in their sleeves and it is really convenient to carry.

There is indeed a big gap between the bamboo slips and the paper in front of me.

"Shopkeeper, what's the price for selling paper?"

The young man who had just been humiliated in the shop selling bamboo slips looked at the shopkeeper and asked the price of the paper.

He saw and heard the three Wang brothers writing on the paper just now, and what the shopkeeper said.

Compared with bamboo slips and paper, there is indeed a big gap.

The young man was very excited. He didn't expect to see anything that could be written on besides bamboo slips and brocade cloth.

Quickly calming down, the young man thought about the price of paper.

People around the store also regained their composure after hearing the young man's words.

They just saw the advantages of paper over bamboo slips and did not think about the price.

The price of bamboo slips is already relatively expensive. If the paper is better than the bamboo slips, the price will definitely be more expensive.

They just hope that the price is not too expensive, otherwise they will have to watch without having so much money to buy it.

People around the store looked at the shopkeeper, hoping to hear the shopkeeper tell him the price of the paper.
