Chapter 369: Accidental Discovery

"Panjiayuan, Baoguo Temple, Liuli Factory. You don't want to go to Liulichang, do you? Tang Yi asked with a smile.

"As you said, today's Liulichang has no stalls or open-air markets, and has become a cultural commercial street, full of shops, aren't you reluctant to visit such a place?" Lin Huanting said: "I remember when I was in the UK, I saw a blog written by an Englishman who wrote about his experience in Taobao in Yanjing. ”

"Wow! Listen to what you mean, it must be a relatively remote place! ”

Lin Huanting smiled smugly, "Well, in a village west of Lugou Bridge." ”

Tang Yi thought for a while, "I really want to have an impression, it's called Lugouqiao Antique and Thrift Market, and I heard that the popularity is not bad." ”

"Then let's go tomorrow, just go to Lugou Bridge to play, although it is far away, but fortunately there is a daytime time." Lin Huanting said with a smile.

"Good. After coming out for so long, I don't have much time to be alone together, just at night. Tang Yi said.

Looking at Tang Yi's bad appearance, Lin Huanting let go of Tang Yi's hand, "Go to bed early tonight・・・・・・"

Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was gagged.

The next day, the two of them got up early, had breakfast and set off. Because they plan to play for a day, and that place is a scenic spot, there are many cars and convenient, so the two of them did not charter a car, and they took a car to go, and it is not difficult to find a car when they come back.

The antique market in Lugouqiao, compared with the famous big market, is indeed pediatric, but this kind of small market also has its advantages, things that are not common in the big market, maybe there will appear in the small market, and then, the probability of missing the small market may be greater than the big market. This is in line with Tang Yi's habit of picking up leaks.

I thought it was very good, but after they arrived, they learned that the market in the village on the west side of Lugou Bridge actually moved into the Lugou Bridge Scenic Area, and the time was not short, there are more and more souvenirs in it, and now it is basically tourists who can buy something, and some old players rarely come.

"Let's just play it for fun!" If it comes, it will be safe, and Tang Yi was quickly relieved.

Lin Huanting nodded, "The air here is much fresher than in the city center. ”

Because of the July Seven Incident, the name Lugou Bridge was imprinted in the hearts of many Chinese people. This is the longest ancient stone bridge in North China, in fact, it has been built for more than 800 years, and Lugou Xiaoyue was listed as one of the "Eight Views of Yanjing" in the Jin Dynasty. In Marco Polo's travelogues, he admired the Lugou Bridge very much, especially the stone lions on the railings of the bridge.

"The lions on the Lugou Bridge are innumerable." Walking on the Lugou Bridge, Tang Yi stroked a stone lion and said: "When I was a child, I often thought, what's so difficult about counting, isn't it a stone lion carved on a bridge?" Why can't you even count the adults? Later, I learned that these stone lions have different shapes, and there are small lions on the big lions, and the small ones are only a few centimeters, and there are many hidden heads and tails, which is really hard to count! ”

Lin Huanting pointed to a stone lion, "Look at this, only one mouth is exposed!" ”

As for the stone lions on the Lugou Bridge, according to records, there are more than 600, and many people try to count them, but in the end, they are already dazzled. In 1962, the relevant departments carried out a special numbering inventory, and it is said that the result at that time was 485 large and small stone lions. It was almost conclusive, but as a result, in 1979, a review was carried out, and 17 more were found, who knows if they will be found again? It's really hard to say.

Behind the Lugou Bridge is Wanping City, walk into the city from the bridge, the whole scenic spot is not big, it took less than two hours to finish, see that it is not yet lunch time, the two still decided to go to the antique market to shop.

Sure enough, they were basically souvenirs and some things that could be seen through at a glance, and Tang Yi was really not interested, so he walked relatively fast.

Walking and walking, Lin Huanting found a stall selling used books, so she stopped and looked at it for a while, which is better than something with no characteristics.

Tang Yi also stopped, looked at it roughly, and accidentally found a copy of "Mao Xuan" wrapped in a plastic bag, which is indeed an old book, published by the Northeast Bookstore in 1948, and is a six-volume bound into one volume. Only 20,000 copies of this edition were printed at the time.

"Can I open it and take a look?" Tang Yi asked the stall owner.

The stall owner was a man in his fifties, clean and clean, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Don't say it, look at the market, he is the most popular book, and he is really suitable for selling books.

"Look, your hands aren't sweating." The stall owner smiled innocently.

Tang Yi opened it and looked at it, the book was relatively thick, with a dark red book cover and a hard hardcover. However, the book is not in good quality, the dark red skin of the front cover has two or three small pieces falling off, and the back cover is not peeling, but there is a heavy crease on it.

I hurriedly checked it from beginning to end, and just about to close it, Tang Yi suddenly found that the cover at the back was very thick, and after a closer look, it turned out that a paper shell was pasted from the inside, and a few words were written on the paper shell: protect the book and prevent it from breaking.

Tang Yi smiled dumbly, this paper shell must be to protect the book, do you still need to write it?

However, these words are very well written, the brush is in good shape, and it is very stylish, Tang Yi couldn't help but stare at it more.

Just as he was staring, suddenly, under the paper shell, a cyan light and shadow appeared. The light and shadow are rectangular, but there seem to be layers, as if a piece of paper has been folded a few times.

What's hidden here?

Hidden in "Mao Xuan", ・・・・・・・ it seems that when it was hidden, it was probably hidden in a special decade, in order to prevent the contents from being "broken and old". Put it in this, who would dare to break it? It's just that for some reason it wasn't taken out, but it was sold along with the old book.

Fortunately, this version of "Mao Xuan" is not cheap, so it is so well protected. Otherwise, if it is an ordinary used book, it is possible that it will be sent to a scrap yard and finally pulped.

"Boss, how do you sell this book?" Tang Yi closed the book and asked.

"What book?" Lin Huanting immediately stepped forward and saw that it was the 1948 version of "Mao Xuan", thinking that this thing is generally at a clear price, and it is impossible to pick up the leaks, but the book is a good book, and it is good to stay at home to study.

"This version is hard to find, good products, how can you get more than 10,000, so let's do it, this book is average, at least five thousand!" The stall owner said.

Judging from the market situation, this price is fair, and Tang Yi didn't beat around the corner, "Can it be cheaper?" ”

"I'm really doing business, I received this book for 3,000, and I've been keeping it at home for two years, and I only took it out and sold it last month, and it's really not okay to lose 5,000." The stall owner pointed to the book: "This book is a little bit worse than the cover, you look at the paper inside, look at the printed words, they are all very good." ”
