Chapter 36: The Definition of Strength (3)

"Hello, I am Mao Wenxiong, the manager of Zhenhua Bookstore. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info what is your surname? ”

Wu Xiaoyu held Mao Wenxiong's outstretched hand and shook it up and down twice, handed over the list, and said, "Hello, my name is Wu Xiaoyu, I want to buy some books, but I can't find many of them." ”

Mao Wenxiong stretched out his left hand to take the list, only glanced at it, and immediately pinched a few pieces of paper with both hands and unfolded it. "You wrote all of this?" There was a hint of surprise in his voice.

"Yes, there are more books." Wu Xiaoyu looked up and replied, he was putting the eighteenth book in his hand on the steps.

"Oh, the penmanship is skillful, the calligraphy is smooth, and Mr. Wu writes a good hand." Mao Wenxiong nodded in admiration. These words are countless times better than his grandson, who spends all day on the computer desk, and as soon as he compares his grandson, he immediately turns to another thought, just talking about the font on the paper, he, a lover of calligraphy for more than 50 years, is afraid that he will also be compared.

This did not embarrass him, but gave birth to a good impression of this Wu Xiaoyu. Nowadays, young people are accustomed to keyboard typing, and fewer and fewer people can write a good handwriting. What he appreciates the most is that this Wu Xiaoyu still writes Song characters, abandoning the dragon flying phoenix dance, which is not particularly beautiful and eye-catching; But the strokes are clear and clear, and they are best for reading and browsing. Words are like people, this young man can practice good words, and has perseverance and perseverance. The font chosen is not to be dazzling, upright and calm, and for the sake of others, which is even more rare.

I changed my self more than 50 years ago, but I am afraid that I can't do it. Mao Wenxiong said secretly, and his good impression of Wu Xiaoyu increased a few points.

Appreciating the handwriting, he began to look carefully at the titles listed on the list, he had been engaged in cultural business for decades, and he could count many of the common books of various natural sciences even with his eyes closed, although not every book was carefully studied, but most of them had been roughly flipped.

The books on the list should all be astronomical, and Mao Wenxiong made a judgment after a cursory glance. The first few on the list are the best-selling astronomy primers of this genre in bookstores. It is nothing more than an introduction to the origin of astronomy, astronomical research methods, the current state of astronomical research, and so on.

He turned his head to look at the pile of books on the steps, which had been found by Wu Xiaoyu and were pressing at the bottom.

The titles of the books listed next went a little deeper, Mao Wenxiong looked at them one by one, and began to appear astronomy starry sky observation, the calculation principle of celestial motion, and astronomy ...... "wait a minute", Mao Wenxiong said, he looked back, and an introduction to optical principles and optical equipment appeared on the list.

Why don't you list the different disciplines in groups and write them together?

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately understood the intention of the author of the list. If someone has read all the books in the previous part, then the next study will inevitably need to start all kinds of experiments, and the most basic and necessary equipment most closely related to astronomical research experiments is nothing more than the telescope. This introductory book on optics appeared just right, and Mao Wenxiong almost wanted to high-five and praise.

With this in mind, Mao Wenxiong also had a clear understanding of the mechanical, computer, and physics books that occasionally appeared in the next bibliography of the list, and admired the astronomical attainments of the author of the list.

Every other type of book always appears at the most appropriate and appropriate time, and there is no way to let the path of learning and research according to the list stagnate or take the slightest detour.

Mao Wenxiong continued to look down, and before he reached the middle of the first page, many titles related to astronomy were already in the category that he had never heard of. However, other types of books are appearing more and more, and most of this part of Mao Wenxiong has been read by Mao Wenxiong, and I think that to the extent that the study of astronomy is no longer limited to a single discipline, but a comprehensive application of multiple disciplines.

At the end of the first page, Mao Wenxiong saw five physics books in a row. He couldn't understand it very well, so he could only guess that he had reached this point, and the physics he used had also reached a professional field, and he had to understand them one by one before he could continue to study them in depth.

The second page begins with many, many titles in foreign languages.

A wide variety of titles in foreign languages.

It was torture to barely read the title of the book that he didn't understand at all, and he stopped looking down, admiring the author or these authors.

Mao Wenxiong felt that what he was holding in his hand was no longer a few pieces of paper, but a vine called "astronomy". It takes root at the bottom of the great tree of "knowledge", takes root, sprouts, and grows. First entwined with the branches of physics, mathematics, etc., and then climbed on these branches with leaves of optics, computers, machinery, steel, construction, etc., with the help of these roots, buds, stems and leaves, together with the big trees, straight to the other side of the stars and clouds.

This list is worth so much that it could be made into a book on its own, which is ten times better than the book "Study Methods for Astronomical Research" in the bookstore! Mao Wenxiong came to this conclusion after reading only the first page.

He was wrong to blame the author of "Learning Methods for Astronomical Research", because this author was not directly instructed for ten hours by an extragalactic visitor with trillions of light-years as the basic unit.

Mao Wenxiong carefully put the list together and said to Wu Xiaoyu, who had been standing in front of him: "Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, there are no books on the list in the bookstore. ”

"And how many can you find?" Wu Xiaoyu was mentally prepared.

Mao Wenxiong closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "In addition to what Mr. Wu has found, there are about twenty more books that can be found." ”

"Can you please ask Manager Mao to help me find it?"

Mao Wenxiong nodded, motioned for Liang Xiaona to take the paper bag and pack the books that had been found, and took Wu Xiaoyu to look for them together.

……

The paper bag in Wu Xiaoyu's hand has become a cardboard box.

Mao Wenxiong put another book he had just taken out into it, clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Wu, this is the last book that can be found on the list at the moment." ”

"Thank you Manager Mao, let me find it myself, I don't know when I will have to find it." This sentence is not an exaggeration at all, more than 20 different types of books come from all floors, all regions, and all shelves, and only people like Mao Wenxiong, who have worked in bookstores for decades, can find them so familiar and quickly.

Wu Xiaoyu thanked Mao Wenxiong again, and was about to go to the first floor to settle the bill, when Mao Wenxiong stopped him and said, "Mr. Wu, I have a suggestion." ”

"Manager Mao, please speak."

"If Mr. Wu can wait for two weeks, then our bookstore can help order books that are not on the list for the time being, and such a large quantity can be discounted by 10%.

Liang Xiaona, who had been following to help beside her, couldn't help but stick out her tongue secretly, don't underestimate the nine-percent discount, bookstores are low-profit industries, and bookstores that regularly operate genuine books only have not too high profits.

Nine percent off is already the highest discount within Mao Wenxiong's authority.

"That's great." Wu Xiaoyu handed the list to Mao Wenxiong again and said, "What procedures do I need to go through?" ”

It doesn't take much time to go through the formalities. Ten minutes later, Wu Xiaoyu handed over a deposit of 20,000 yuan and got a purchase agreement.

"Mr. Wu, in two weeks, we will call you, and the bookstore will deliver the book directly to your designated location."

Wu Xiaoyu and Mao Wenxiong shook hands for the last time and said, "Thank you Manager Mao for your help, but I still need to buy some books, which can definitely be found in the store." ”

Another ten minutes later, Wu Xiaoyu, with the help of the staff, moved two large cardboard boxes out of the door of Zhenhua Bookstore.

A cardboard box contains all the books that can be found on the list so far.

A cardboard box contains all the textbooks from elementary to high school.

On the surface of one of the cardboard boxes is a book with six large characters on the cover: "Meat Cooking".
