Chapter 66: The Book Seller Is Really a Good Man

The time soon came to Saturday, and for a week, Dong Chen read the book very seriously.

This also caused his behavior to look more and more strange, as if he had confirmed the name of "biòn man".

Because he reads books too fast, it's no different from flipping through books, and if you start reading one or two books, it can still mean that you're bored or want to get some people's attention or something, but after turning the pages for a week in a row, you can only be a weirdo.

And there is another thing, this week, people often see him coming out of the staff dormitory with the assistant principal.

Although the assistant principal has only been here for a month, her demeanor of a mature big sister is very prominent among a group of uncles and aunts.

Not only did the little boys in the school fascinate, but even the female students imitated her, and did not reject her because she was an outsider.

She didn't know about these herself, but Dong Chen saw some of them, but she didn't expect this Nizi to be quite popular in school.

However, this is actually understandable, in this kind of place where the transportation is not very convenient, the communication between each city will be delayed and affected, so there is still some gap between the imperial capital of the first-class city and the blackstone city of the second-level city.

There is no distinction between economic and political centers, and the imperial capital is a proper center in every aspect.

Since Xia is from the imperial capital, and her age is slightly mature, some of her tastes, mannerisms, and dresses will be much higher than the students of the Black Rock City Advanced Mechanical Academy.

Coupled with the fact that the usually majestic teachers were so polite to this young big sister, they would certainly have a sense of admiration.

Of course, Dong Chen also knows his name, which is simply ...... It's hard to put into words.

But it can't be helped, the book still has to be read, and it has to be read quickly.

Ever since Sia started eating at his place, he had noticed that the way people looked at him had changed, not only as a weirdo, but as if he had become some kind of fertilizer to nourish the flowers.

But these are all floating clouds for him, and reading books and understanding the world at this stage is the most important thing.

He tried to look at the books on the book list, and found that some books were serial, and it was difficult to understand the content of advanced textbooks without reading the basic textbooks, and the library management of the Advanced Mechanical College lacked many elementary and intermediate textbooks.

So before he bought the elementary and intermediate textbooks he needed, these disconnected books could only be put aside.

Fortunately, some books are not series and can be viewed directly, and some books that have series, and they are also series from the advanced college stage, and they can also be read.

In just a few days, he read all the books he could read, then swept the floor at night, and returned to his residence to memorize and study quickly.

Although some of the book-sweeping plans were delayed, it was still worth it in order to get a place in the "reserve".

Dong Chen still got up very early today, and went to the library to read books after breakfast, and it was rare that no one disturbed the library on weekends.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the morning that Thea came to the library to look for him, and they left the academy gate to go to the book market.

Since Thea said that the book market was far away, they recruited a manned beast cart with a canopy when they left the school gate.

"Thea, I remember that the streets used to be open-topped, why are they all covered now?" Dong Chen, who was sitting in the carriage, asked Xia Dao.

"Because the rainy season is coming, my previous assistant told me that it may rain every day during this time, so these cars have added canopies," Shia explained as he looked at the scenery outside. ”

"Rain and snow oranges?"

Suddenly hearing the familiar name of the fruit, Dong Chen suddenly remembered, "Oh, remember, when I bought oranges before, the shopkeeper told me." ”

"Isn't it," Xia turned back to Dong Chen and said with a smile, "Doesn't it feel amazing, do you have this kind of fruit that predicts the season?" ”

"I don't know if fruit can predict the season, but I do know that we have plants there that predict the weather and temperature in real time."

Dong Chen thought for a while and said, "I remember that there is a wonderful flower, when the storm is coming, it will bloom a large number of flowers, this characteristic can know the changes in the weather in advance, so everyone calls it "wind and rain flower". ”

There is also a kind of "temperature grass", which can measure the temperature like a thermometer, and its leaves are very sensitive to temperature, and its leaves stretch in different directions at different temperatures. ”

"Hey! Is it so magical? ”

"Yes, it's amazing, but it's very simple."

After a week of contact, Dong Chen and Xia are already acquaintances, especially Xia often comes to Dong Chen to eat here, and the two often chat at the dinner table.

Being able to eat together every day, and having so many things to talk about, is very good for getting to know each other and increasing familiarity.

The animal cart trotted all the way and soon came to the book market, or cultural media street, located in the northeast area of the city.

After coming here, Dong Chen found that there was not only a place to sell books, but also a place to print books.

He also sold not only textbooks and professional books for study, but also novels, legendary records, poetry collections, songbooks, etc., and even woodblock printing villain books with comic book functions.

Not only that, Dong Chen also saw information circulation places such as newspapers and post offices here, as well as various shops selling painting materials or stationery, and proper cultural media gathering places.

"It's a great place!" Dong Chen looked at the dazzling stationery stores and bookstores and said, "It's a pity that it's only such a small paragraph. ”

"It's already very good, I think it's quite big," Xia happily picked up a large drawing board in a painting material store and asked Dong Chen, "How about buying this?" You can draw a big picture! ”

Dong Chen glanced at the sketchpad that Xia held up and said, "This should be used for sketching, I don't want to keep drawing on my lap, it's easy to get dirty clothes, and you also need to buy an easel." ”

"Okay, no problem," Shia asked, happily placing the drawing board on the counter, then picking up a small board with clips, "So what is this for?" Do you draw a little sketch? ”

"Sketching is the kind of one that takes a few minutes, and it can be used as practice."

"Oo, got it."

I don't know why, Xia ended up buying a lot of painting materials, not at all like a person who only paints one.

In Thea's own words, "Oh, I can learn it myself, you don't care so much!" It's so long-winded! ”

Get!

After buying the painting materials, they directly found a larger bookstore and found all the books Dong Chen needed, some thin and some thick, some expensive and some cheap, stacked up to a meter high.

When it came to the counter to settle the bill, the boss calculated the account and immediately blossomed, "Guest, a total of 1,538 yuan and six jiao." ”

"Hexagonal erasure, you can give 1,538 yuan, thank you for your patronage."

Listening to this price and preferential strength, and looking at the smile of the fat boss, Dong Chen directly thought of the famous "fat smile" on the earth.

But since it is the price of acquiring knowledge, it can only be paid.

Seeing Dong Chen take out two steel jumps worth 1,000 yuan, the boss smiled even more happily, "Do you want to check the books and flip through them to see if there are any flaws, after all, there will always be times when printing and loading books, and it is possible to have wrong pages and multiple pages." ”

"If there are errors, omissions or damages, you can replace the book or not buy it."

Hearing this, Dong Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Really?" ”

"That's right."

The boss's happy eyes narrowed into one, and he shook the fat on his face and nodded, "This is our service tenet, just to make guests satisfied." ”

"Great, boss, you're such a nice guy!" Dong Chen picked up a big thick book without hesitation and said politely.

"You're welcome, please!"

"Okay, then you're welcome!"

At this moment, Dong Chen and the boss were smiling happily.
