Chapter 9 The second task, buying books

Su Changqing walked towards the mountain with the bucket. By this time the rain had stopped, as if it had come suddenly, and had quietly gone away.

The road was a little muddy, because it was a dirt road, and the rain washed it away, which still softened it.

Before leaving, Su Changqing returned the hat to Wang Pingzhao, thinking about when he should buy a big umbrella in case of emergency.

The road is not too far, about half an hour walk, and the home is reached.

The door of the old mansion was equipped with a new lock, Su Changqing fumbled around his body, and soon found the key. Opening the door, he made his way into the kitchen.

The kitchen originally had a lot of things that could not be used, but after the systematic renovation, it is now clean and spotless, and even some dirt that is difficult to remove is gone. It's just that the things here are not modern kitchen supplies, but rural stoves.

However, it is more customary to use it this way.

It was about to be time for dinner, Su Changqing scraped off the fish, washed his stomach, brushed the pot, added firewood, poured some water, and waited for the water to boil before putting the fish.

He spread the salt evenly on the fish, and cut some green onions and ginger on the plate.

After everything was done, he sat on the chair and hammered his back and rubbed his waist.

Call...... I'm a little tired.

He sighed and yawned, a little drowsy.

It's just that he was still thinking about the water in the pot, so he barely fell asleep.

Well...... Take a look at the system.

He closed his eyes and silently opened the system panel in his mind.

At this time, the system panel shows that another task has appeared, and it is still flashing.

Task 2: Familiarize yourself with 5 Mongolian books

Time limit: 20 days

"Do the systems and rewards all appear after completing the task?" asked Su Changqing.

Physic: Yes host.

"What does it mean to be familiar?"

The system paused, not answering quickly, and it was a moment before a line came to his mind.

"If you read a book a hundred times, you can recite it. ”

"20 days ......" Su Changqing frowned.

"You should find some better ...... with fewer words"

He thought about it, didn't he know a person named Zhang Xu before? Tomorrow, I can just go down the mountain and go to the county to buy a few books to read, as for this Mengxue reading material...... It should be what a hundred family names and three characters are scripture or something.

At this time, the water is boiling. Su Changqing put the fish in the pot and began to cook.

......

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Su Changqing rode a newly bought tricycle to the county seat.

Although he came early, at this time, there were a lot of vendors on the street, and for a while, there was an endless stream of shouting and noisy.

Taking out the old man's machine, Su Changqing found Zhang Xu's phone number and made a call.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hey?" On the phone, Zhang Xu's hearty voice rang.

"Hey. I asked you to take me to the old mansion last time, remember me?"

"Oh, oh! It turned out to be Old Man Su!

Su Changqing replied, "I'm here to buy books from your bookstore!

"I see. The other party suddenly became more enthusiastic, "I'm just across the street from the mobile phone store! Where are you?"

"I'm ......," Su Changqing looked around, "I'm here in the vegetable market." ”

"Oh......" The other party groaned, "Old man Su, don't move where you are, I'll pick you up!"

"Oh yes. Su Changqing nodded happily, and after hanging up the phone, he thought about what books he should buy.

After waiting for a few minutes, Zhang Xu came soon, he came out casually, wearing slippers, T-shirt and shorts, and a cigarette, not at all like a bookstore.

"Old Man Su?" he asked as he walked in slowly.

"Hey!" Su Changqing responded, "Xiao Zhang, do you have any Mongolian reading materials in your bookstore?"

The two of them talked as they walked.

"Mongolian Readings...... Well, there is. He affirmed.

"It's like that kind of three-character scripture or something. Su Changqing asked again.

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhang Xu nodded, "But Old Man Su, what are you doing with those?"

"It's for reading books. ”

"Do you see?" Zhang Xu seemed a little surprised.

"Well, there's always a good thing about reading. Su Changqing nodded, didn't care about the other party's disbelief, and said with a smile.

"Old man. Zhang Xu seemed to have some admiration, "You can really do it." ”

Even the title has changed now, Zhang Xu didn't seem to notice it, but Su Changqing did.

"Haha. Su Changqing smiled, "Thank you." ”

The two talked all the way, and soon arrived at Zhang Xu's bookstore.

Although this bookstore is not big, it is made of antique and looks very good. There is also a plaque on it, which reads: Zhang's Bookstore.

"How's that?" Zhang Xu was a little proud.

Su Changqing nodded, "Not bad, how is this bookstore business?"

"Not bad. Zhang Xu replied with a smile, "Old Man Su, let's go in." ”

As soon as you enter, you will be full of books. Su Changqing's eyes showed admiration, and he fiercely satisfied the other party's vanity.

"Here, I'll find you. Zhang Xu took Su Changqing to a row of shelves. It reads the words "children's books".

"That's it. He pointed to the storybooks and the like, and said, "The books you want are down there, I'll find them for you." ”

With that, he squatted down and searched carefully, and after a while, he stood up with five books in his hands.

"Can you take a look at these lines?"

Su Changqing pinched the frame of his glasses and leaned over to take a closer look.

I saw the top book with the three words "Three Character Classic" written on it.

"Okay, this one, show me the next one. ”

Zhang Xu handed over the book.

Su Changqing stacked the "Three Character Classic" underneath. The second is "The Rhyme of Liweng", the third is "Di Zi Gui", the fourth is "Thousand Character Text", and the last is "The Analects".

Su Changqing looked at it and nodded, "Okay, how many of these?"

Zhang Xu took the book and flipped it to the back.

"13 + 10.8 + 9.9 + 14.8 + 2.9 ......" he took out his calculator and calculated, "46.2 in total." Remove the odds, and I'll count you as 45 yuan!"

"Okay...... Su Changqing took out 50 yuan from his pocket with some pain, "Find me 5 yuan." ”

The more you use this money, the less you use it!

"Okay!" Zhang Xu walked towards the counter a little happily, "In the future, if the uncle buys books from me, they will all be 20% off!"

"Okay!" At this time, Su Changqing was no longer in pain, and immediately agreed, as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it, "Then I'm going to buy a book and come back." ”

But in his heart, he thought that if it wasn't necessary, he would never come to this bookstore again, without him, because it was too expensive to buy books.
