Walking on Pishi Street, this is indeed a leisurely place, there are some small shops on the side, a blood homestay, all of which are quite interesting, people who like a minor life, should like it.

"Let's go in and have a cup of coffee!" said Sister Yuan, passing by a small coffee shop.

There was no objection, although Populus euphratica was not a big fan of coffee.

When I walked into the coffee shop, I saw that there were some books in the coffee shop, some of which looked a little old.

The boss is a young man who looks like a college student and is grinding coffee beans by hand.

"Sit down and have a drink?" the boss asked, looking up. The work on his hands did not stop, and he continued to do the grinding motion.

"You have the best coffee here for a few cups, one per person. Sister Yuan said.

"Okay! Wait a minute. Seeing that this woman didn't even ask the price, and directly asked for the best, the boss knew that these people were not short of money.

This kind of guest must be well entertained!

Ah Hao directly found the oldest book here, took it, and handed it to Hu Yang: "Brother Hu, take a look." ”

Populus euphratica couldn't cry or laugh, came to drink coffee, did you really regard this place as a treasure hunting place?

He didn't answer, looked at the book, and said with a smile: "Look at it yourself, the last page of the book should still have time to be printed." ”

It is a book that resembles a salon-like read.

Many students should have seen the word salon now, such as English salon and so on.

In fact, the word originated from an Italian word that referred to the luxurious parlors in the homes of the French upper class.

From the 17th century onwards, Parisian celebrities often turned their living rooms into famous social venues, and at a time when books were not widely available and propaganda tools were not developed, they had a great influence and were an excellent stage to show their influence.

Most of the people who came and went to the salons were dramatists, poets, musicians, painters, critics, philosophers, and politicians, and some of them were literati who often recited their new works in the salons.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, this kind of social place was also introduced to China.

And this book is a relatively miscellaneous book, with stories, poems, current affairs, economics, science, etc., which is a hodgepodge. In fact, it's similar to the so-called salon, everything is very casual.

Ah Hao listened, and hurriedly turned to the end of the book, and found that the time of printing was 1927 in the Republic of China. On the side, the name of the printing house is also marked.

"It's kind of like the 'reader' and the kind of books that we've been exposed to before, and it's supposed to be published in terms of how many issues it is. This kind of reading, at that time, was supposed to be a small-scale reading, and only people in that circle would subscribe to it. So, the number of prints will not be very large.

To a certain extent, it is a little collectible, but not very high. Moreover, buyers of such collectibles are not easy to find. If it's less than 200 yuan, you can try to talk to your boss and meet someone who specializes in collecting these kinds of books, and the price may be more than 1,000 yuan, but that's basically it," Hu Yang said.

Upon hearing the price, and it seemed to be quite troublesome, Ah Hao lost interest and put the book back.

Because the books are printed in traditional characters, Ah Hao is very unaccustomed to looking at them. To be honest, even if it's simplified, I hate reading books.

Hu Yang used his treasure hunting eye to inspect these books, and finally on a shelf, he saw a book that was not thick.

He walked over and walked over as if he were browsing a library book, pretending to be looking for a book. After "searching" for a while, I took out the book and found that it was a magazine called "Art Life", which was published before liberation.

Hu Yang flipped through a few pages, returned to everyone's table, put the impurities on the table, and said with a smile: "This book is not bad, whether it is collected by yourself or resold by yourself, it is worth one or two thousand! ”

"Impurities?" asked Sister Yuan.

Hu Yang nodded: "Well, there are also magazine-type collectibles now." ”

He told everyone that collecting is a common thing in this day and age, from small stamps to all kinds of antiques, and magazines have attracted many collectors to join the ranks of collecting in recent years. Although magazines are time-sensitive, they are also highly collectible.

Nowadays, magazine collections have also attracted the attention of the majority of Tibetan friends in the market, and more and more people have joined the ranks. Because magazines are a product of timeliness, the same number of surviving magazines will become less and less with time. However, the fundamental reason for this is still determined by the cultural value and edition value it contains, so Hu Yang feels that collectible magazines will become more and more popular.

"Magazines with special issues are worth buying. The issue number represents the purpose of the magazine itself, the content and style, etc., such as the magazine with the inscription of social celebrities are very worthy of collection, with a very significant existence. Hu Yang said.

He introduced several directions to collectible magazines.

In addition, it can be collected from the age, and the older the magazine, the more worthy of the time. You must know that magazines in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China or the liberation period have traces of the times, and this type of magazine is definitely worth collecting.

Art magazines are collectible. This type of magazine refers to magazines that have special significance, such as strong guidance, such as strong appreciation, such as "Cultural Relics" and "Archaeology" are widely popular.

"In short, commemorative magazines are also worth collecting. This type of magazine is commemorative and academic. Topical, all aspects of design are worth learning, so the collection value is great. ”

While listening to Brother Hu, everyone flipped through the magazine.

In the end, Sister Yuan, Xu Hong, and Brother Yu didn't move, and the objects of one or two hundred thousand yuan were of little interest to them. Andy is embarrassed to compete with the smaller Ah Hao.

Therefore, in the end, the magazine fell into the hands of Ah Hao.

Not long after, the shopkeeper finally came out with a few cups of coffee. These cups of coffee are not cheap, because they are made by hand, and the coffee beans used are still very good, and a cup of coffee is more than 90 yuan.

In fact, the cost of a cup of this coffee is twenty or thirty yuan, and people earn labor fees and service fees.

Ah Hao and his boss tested the magazine, whether they could cut their love and let the other party make a price. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but he also knew that some books were now collected like stamps.

For the sake of the face of those cups of coffee, the shopkeeper is an adult and charges fifty yuan.

Hu Yang and the others didn't expect that Brother Yu was still a master of coffee, and even knew how to appreciate it better than Sister Yuan.
