Chapter 244: The Kraft Paper in the Book Cover

When Yu Yao heard it, this old man was quite interesting. With the temperament of holding Huang, without Xiao Chen, it may not be so. However, it is true that there are bad effects of losing friends.

After a while, Lao Man came over and said that he had already left.

This kind of thing, Yu Yao is inconvenient to say more, so he will leave.

Cai Pengxi asked Lao Man to drive him back to the hotel, Yu Yao said that he wanted to go shopping casually, but Cai Pengxi didn't insist.

Leaving the courtyard, Yu Yao first walked to a nearby street.

After communicating with Cai Pengxi today, his pressure and emotions have eased, so don't go back to the hotel to nest, just find another place to shop.

He didn't want to go to Pan Jiayuan, there were no stalls after the renovation of Baoguo Temple, and the glaze factory was full of shops. At this time, a taxi stopped in front of Yu Yao, and the driver got out of the window, "Are you leaving?"

Yu Yao simply got into the car, "Master, you recommend an antique market, there must be a stall, except for Pan Jiayuan." ”

"Panjiayuan is the biggest?" the taxi driver thought for a moment, "You want to visit the stalls······, right? By the way, there's a big willow market, are you interested?"

"What do you say?" asked Yu Yao.

"There are still a lot of people in this place on Saturdays and Sundays, there are stalls, and there are also antiques and cultural toys, but it is mainly a thrift market. It is not the same thing as the Panjiayuan thrift market, inside, there are also those who sell foreign trade tail list clothes, as well as those who sell various daily necessities, and those who sell fruits and dried fruits. ”

Yu Yaoxin said that this market had never been heard of before, and it seemed to be a hodgepodge. It's not antique-based, but it's okay to hang out.

"Okay, idle is idle, let's go and see. ”

This big willow market is just outside the Fourth Ring Road, not far from a large playground. The entrance is on an asphalt road, and there is a large archway, which is mostly simple bungalows, and there is a large two-story building, and the second floor is mainly for selling clothes.

There are indeed stalls, and many merchants will set up stalls in front of the bungalows.

The stalls of antiques and cultural toys were relatively concentrated, and Yu Yao quickly found them.

As a result, I swept it one after another, and my heart said that I really came to slip my legs, how can there be any real antiques.

If you come, you will be safe, Yu Yao still walked patiently, but found nothing. Finally, I had no choice but to leave, and saw a store that sold used books.

In front of the simple room of this shop, there is also a stall with magazines on it.

Yu Yao saw a few old collectible magazines from the nineties, flipped through them, and there were a few articles that were very insightful, so he picked two and greeted the boss.

The boss was a man in his forties with glasses, wearing a gray cotton suit and a cotton hat, and said very simply: "Twenty!"

Yu Yao had change on him, so he took it out and gave it to him.

When receiving the money, the man smiled and said, "I can't see it, you are so young and like to collect? There are still a few thread-bound books from the Qing Dynasty in the store, do you want to take a look?"

"Okay!" Yu Yao followed the boss into the store.

The man pointed to a shelf for Yu Yao to see. Yu Yao flipped through it, it was indeed a line-bound book of the Qing Dynasty, mainly in the late Qing Dynasty, but they were all some large road goods, and they were basically loose copies, and there were few complete sets. In terms of content, Yu Yao was not too interested.

After flipping through and preparing to leave, Yu Yao inadvertently caught a glimpse of the bookshelf next to him, there was a set of four volumes of the 1991 edition of the paperback "Mao Xuan", which was well preserved, very new and neat.

Because I didn't like the Qing Dynasty line-bound book, Yu Yao took the opportunity to point to this set of "Mao Xuan", "Boss, how much is this set?"

The man then understood, so he didn't mention the Qing Dynasty thread-bound book, and said with a smile, "This set of books is from the warehouse, and it is well preserved, give a hundred yuan!"

Yu Yao actually doesn't know the market of this set of books, "It's cheaper, right?"

The man smiled, "Do you want to see it, or do you collect it?"

"Both. ”

"If you want to collect it, I have a set of 1948 Northeast Bookstore editions here, do you want to take a look?"

Since the first edition of the Jinchaji Daily was published in 1944, there have been various editions of "Mao Xuan" for more than 70 years, and their value varies in the second-hand book market. The most expensive is definitely the first edition, with a circulation of only 2,500 copies, and the well-preserved boutique has sold for more than 200,000 yuan.

This 1948 edition of the Tohoku Bookstore was bound into one volume with a small print run, and it is said that only about 20,000 copies were printed. The market price of this version of "Mao Xuan" Yu Yao is known, and it is between 1,000 and 10,000 depending on the condition.

"Okay, let's take a look. ”

The man retrieved the book from the cabinet, which was still covered with a sealed plastic bag. The man took off the sealed bag on the outside and handed the book to Yu Yao, "Your hands are not sweaty, are you?"

"No, it was refreshing and clean. Yu Yao took it.

Since this book is a multi-volume bound volume, it is relatively thick, with a red hardcover cloth cover.

The condition is average, and the words on the book cover have fallen off a little. Yu Yao had never seen this version of "Mao Xuan" before, but after reading it carefully, he could also confirm that this was indeed an original old book.

However, in the process of flipping through, Yu Yao made a discovery.

On the inside of the front and back covers, a piece of brown paper was pasted on each side, trimmed and pasted very well, and there were words written on it.

The brown paper inside the cover reads: Study hard and make progress every day.

The brown paper inside the back cover reads: Everyone is responsible for loving books and protecting books.

The words are pen words, but they are also very skillful.

Yu Yao couldn't help but think, if you really want to protect the book, then you should make a complete kraft paper cover and wrap it whole, the inside of the front and back cover, under the hard book cover, does not need to be protected?

Originally, Yu Yao wouldn't think much about it, but the matter of the red sandalwood guqin paperweight was right in front of him, and he knew that in special periods, it was not uncommon to use great man photo frames to hide things.

If you hide something in "Mao Xuan", it is the same as hiding it in the photo frame of a great man, and it will not be "broken", which is very safe.

Yu Yao seemed to inadvertently grope a few times, but the kraft paper was very smooth, and he couldn't figure out if there was something underneath.

If you really want to hide something and can easily find out, is it still called hiding?

However, thousands of people have thousands of thoughts, thousands of people look like them, and they don't know what kind of person the original owner is, if he is willing to post it like this, it is not impossible to hide nothing.

"Boss, what is the minimum amount of this set of books?"

"I just received this not long ago, so there is nothing missing, so you can give three thousand. ”

In this condition, three thousand is considered an acceptable price, and there is also a bargaining space of two hundred and three hundred. Old books are not the same as antiques, and the price is often clearer.

Yu Yao hesitated, "Okay, I won't talk about it anymore, bring that 1991 version!"

Regardless of whether there is something hidden or not, this price will not suffer, it will be a reasonable transaction, and it will be a big deal to go back and sell it in Gegu Zhai. He was also too lazy to waste his time, Lilisoso.
