Chapter 682: Uncle, You Also Read?
There are not many bookstores in the county, and there are even fewer old bookstores. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhang Niu will not stupidly run to Xinhua Bookstore to find medical books, those places are ordinary kinds, although it seems very simple, but it requires a lot of knowledge, for Zhang Niu, who doesn't know much, this thing is a little troublesome to do.
Fortunately, in addition to Xinhua Bookstore in the county, there are also some time-honored old bookstores, but these bookstores have now changed their façade and operate other industries, after all, it is estimated that they will not be able to pay the rent every month by opening a bookstore.
These bookstores in the county town are often used to read books when they were children, and everyone likes to watch martial arts, but there is no extra change on hand to buy books, so they can only rent them to read books, five cents a day, which is already very cheap, just because of this Zhang Niu remembered a few places in his heart.
These bookstores are looking for these days, except for some that have been closed, the rest are basically not very open, some have sold old books, and some are directly placed in the grocery room, all of which are moldy, and they are useless anyway.
Turn into the small street of Shuinan. This is a relatively lively small street, the road is only about three meters wide, there are shops on both sides, although it is much worse than the Golden Dragon Square, but it is the most popular place for students to come, because there are a variety of goods here and the price is good, so there are many people who come here to buy things, which indirectly causes the liveliness of this street.
Zhang Niu himself has not been here much, walking on the street to hear the sound of selling, from time to time to pass by people, originally the street is narrow and meets Sunday, the flow of people here is more than double than usual.
There are hundreds of shops in the small streets that are hundreds of meters long, and it can be said that as long as there is space, most of them are turned into shops, and there are several supermarkets selling thrift goods in them.
Only familiar people know, there is a supermarket in front of this, and there is a small grocery room behind the house, where there are a lot of books, including the books that Zhang Niu wants, although there are not many, but it should be enough for viewing.
Although I didn't come for a while, it didn't change much, just opened a few new shops, and it didn't take much time. Zhang Niu found the place he was looking for,
A store of dozens of square meters, which sells some daily necessities, and the business is so-so.
Walking into the supermarket, Zhang Niu found the boss, who was still the middle-aged man surnamed Gao. The baptism of the years left a shadow on Boss Gao's body, and white hair gradually appeared on his head, and wrinkles began to appear on his face.
A set of ordinary clothes, with thick cloth shoes underfoot, is suitable to wear at this time.
Zhang Niu directly said his thoughts about coming over, he originally planned to rent books, but everyone put them in the back of the house, so it seems a little difficult to rent these books, so Zhang Niu plans to buy them back, so as to save time, no matter how much he buys, he can put it at home and watch it slowly, which is much better than running at both ends.
Although Zhang Niu knew about the existence of this place before he came, he didn't know what kind of changes would occur after such a long time, so he was always a little worried in his heart, after all, the county seat was like that, and if he didn't, he could only change to the next place.
The high boss with a melon seed face heard that this young man came to buy books from before, if Zhang Niu didn't mention this matter, he almost forgot about it, since the supermarket opened those books in the back, no one came to read them, and after a long time, the place naturally forgot, and now someone came to buy it, of course, his heart is happy. I don't know what the use of buying them back is, but I'm glad that the books that have been piled up there can be sold.
"Then I'll take you to see, it's been too long, I don't know if it will be bitten off by a moth." Boss Gao shook his head, a little worried in his heart, after all, it was a grocery room, and no matter how good the books were placed there, they would also receive the attention of moths.
After Zhang Niu politely thanked him, he followed Boss Gao to walk inside, and when he passed by the shelves, he saw a row of books, which were all martial arts books but they were all pirated, and he could know from the cover that they were all old-fashioned books, such as the Legend of the Condor Heroes, the Legend of the Condor Heroes, the Legend of Shenzhou, etc., a whole large row here.
Boss Gao, who was walking in front, saw Zhang Niu's attention and said with a smile: "This was found before, there are many schools near here, so I get some martial arts books for rent, and many people usually come to watch." ”
Zhang Niu doesn't care about these martial arts books, what he is looking for is a book about medicine, although it is a bit profound, but for the time being, I will write it in my head first, and then I will take it out and ask when I meet someone in this area.
Coming out of the supermarket, this is a small quadrangle, after all, this Shuinan street is a quadrangle, and the whole area is basically an old house. Even if it is necessary to rectify it, it is probably not something that can be done in recent years.
This courtyard looks pretty good, the carvings on the beams, and some other carvings, Zhang Niu knows that these are antiques, although they are all wood carvings, but if they are made down, they can be sold for a lot of money.
There are a lot of carved flowers around, in the middle of the courtyard is a patio, all around are large and small flower pots, planting a lot of ordinary flowers, facing the rising sun, making this courtyard look more flavorful.
"It seems that this person is really good at taking care of this courtyard." Zhang Niu praised it a little in his heart.
There are a total of four rooms in the courtyard, and I originally thought that the books were placed in one of the places, but then I thought about this is a little unlikely, after all, these rooms in the courtyard should be the main room, usually used for resting, and it will be used to stack books.
Passing through the main house, walking into a small alley, it was dark inside, Boss Gao turned on the electric light casually, and a wooden ladder could be seen not far away, and Boss Gao walked up carefully, and did not forget to turn around and let Zhang Niu pay attention to his feet.
Zhang Niu didn't expect that Boss Gao would put these books on this attic, as long as the books were still there.
It's too dark in here, even if there is an electric light, it still looks dim, if a timid person comes to such a place, he will really feel scared, but fortunately, Zhang Niu's nerves are thick, so there is no problem.
Walking up from below, I found that there were a lot of firewood piled up here, and the books were stacked on the other side and placed there neatly, and after Boss Gao brought it up, he turned on the electric light, but it was still very dark, and there was not even a skylight.
People want to do business, bring Zhang Niu here to the attic and then come down to do business, leave Zhang Niu to choose books and then come down, and then calculate the price.
Boss Gao left. Zhang Niu looked carefully through the light, there was no skylight open here, and there was no damage to these books, but it felt a little damp or even dim here.
"Just don't let the worm bite off." Zhang Niu muttered to himself and walked towards the book, but as soon as he walked over, he noticed a hint of difference.
Although Zhang Niu is not a person who is very good at paying attention to details, he still found something different here, the plastic sheet covering the top of the book. There is not much dust, so it can be seen that people usually read books here, and it seems that some people often come here, because there are still low stools next to the books.
"I guess I'm here to find a book, so I don't care what I'm doing."
Pulling apart the plastic sheet, there was only a little dust, and then the light, Zhang Niu finally started the journey of choosing books, and he was just a little impressed back then, and it was really troublesome to find the books he needed here.
"I knew to ask Boss Gao if this book was put up according to the catalog." Zhang Niu sat on a stool and began to look for it.
"The Count of Monte Cristo, arrogant" Seeing these two books, Zhang Niu knew that this cluster of books should be foreign literature, although he had not read this book, but the name was very famous.
I just put the book back, and I picked it out again, since it was foreign literature to bring back, I can still read it if I am bored in the future, and I thought about it in my heart, and put this book outside.
Zhang Niu didn't guess wrong, there was a famous book on each row of books, which made it easier for him to find it. I haven't found the book I want for the time being, but there are some books that are more suitable for me to read.
Foreign literature, the four famous works, these are all put here, it can be seen that the boss is not very interested in these books, now everyone is watching martial arts and you love me love romance, that will hold this thick masterpiece, and the eyes of the eyes are spent not knowing the content inside.
In this attic, there are hundreds of books to say, although Zhang Niu has not turned it, but he still turned it roughly, the books at the bottom of it are now yellow, and there are many book holes, you don't need to look at it to know that this is for the moth bite out, especially in such a place, no moth is a strange thing, fortunately, it is placed on the attic, if it is placed on the ground, it is estimated that it will break faster.
Row by row rummaging through, Zhang Niu began to immerse himself in the sea of books, and at the same time chose his favorite, as for the medical books so-so to find a few, but some of them were bitten, these books were originally put for a long time, and no one watched the books, so the bad ones were faster, and when they were found, they were basically at the bottom there, if it weren't for the bright eyes, they really couldn't find these medical books, so it could be seen that these books were almost thrown into the stove as firewood.
Kick, kick, kick, in this quiet attic, Zhang Niu was looking for the books he needed, and suddenly heard a voice coming, and thought it was Boss Gao coming.
"Is it Boss Gao? I haven't found a book yet. Said casually.
In this attic, although a word could be heard, but there was no response after the words were finished, Zhang Niu didn't care much, maybe he came up to move things, lowered his head and continued to look for it.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Niu came out with a few books, and as soon as he turned around, he saw that in the place where he had been sitting, there was a figure sitting there, as if he was looking down at a book.
"Boss Gao, this is going to scare people to death, sit here and say nothing." If Zhang Niu hadn't been bold, he would have really been startled, it was dark here, and the light bulb was dim, so he came here to look for books, and the figure he saw seemed to come out of the darkness.
Zhang Niu always thought that Boss Gao was sitting there reading his books, and came over with the books, only to find out that he had seen the wrong person, and this person's figure did not look like Boss Gao at all.
"Are these books for you to read?" In the dim light, an old voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as he heard this voice, Zhang Niu knew that this was an elderly person, although his back was to Zhang Niu, but the white hair could still be seen.
"Yes, I don't know that the old man also came here to read?" Zhang Niu said politely.
"You're studying medicine? It's a medical book, and some of it is difficult. The man turned around, still holding the book that Zhang Niu had found.
The person who turned around is indeed not old, it should be said that he is in his fifties, looking at Zhang Niu energetically, and more at Zhang Niu's books.
Zhang Niu shook his head: "I'm not studying medicine, I just want to learn some knowledge about herbal medicine." "Although I don't know who this is, I'll be honest and say it, anyway, it's not a big deal, and it doesn't matter if I say it.
"The young man is self-motivated." Li Lin himself was a little surprised, he was quite familiar with the boss here, and often came here to find some books to read, who knew that he would meet a young man looking for a doctor today, he looked polite and good, and he was an old man who would not open his mouth and shut his mouth, and there was no violent reaction.
"Uncle is also here to look for books? Do you want me to find it for you? "The lighting here is not good, Zhang Niu thought that this old man was here to find books, and he happened to be here, so he could help if he was handy.
"Hehe, since you have a heart, then I'll trouble you to help me find it." Li Lin sat on the stool, and nodded unceremoniously when he heard Zhang Niu say this, it is rare to see such a polite child.
After Li Lin reported the title of the book, Zhang Niu couldn't help frowning, this old man also came to find medical books, but they all seemed to be more esoteric books.
"It's strange that I'm looking for art books, right?" Li Lin said with interest.
"Well, I have a little bit of an idea."
"There used to be a lot of books here, but they were all bought, and I often came to check them out, and I opened a pharmacy at the end of Shuinan Street, which I don't often come here."
Zhang Niu thought that this old man was idle nearby, but now when he heard it, he knew that this old man was a doctor, of course what kind of doctor is this, Zhang Niu will not care, he met here, Zhang Niu just wanted to ask something.
"Do you know herbs?" Zhang Niu didn't want to ask.
"Haha, young man, you're wrong, if you don't know how to open a herbal medicine shop, are you interested in this?" Li Lin became more and more interested in the young man in front of him.
Zhang Niu nodded: "I live next to the mountain and know the herbs in the mountains, but I don't know what the herbs do, so I came here to find some books to go back." ”
Now when I tell a lie, my face is not red and my heart is not beating, and I look sincere, in fact, this is not wrong, I really know herbs to come here, but I have an encyclopedia.
