Chapter 44. The style of that knife
"Oh, look who's coming!"
"Lin Million, you even came here to buy books? Isn't it kidding us! โ
"Hahaha, it seems that there is no distinction between rich and poor in Taoshu!"
"Yes, I heard that there is a contractor with a net worth of tens of millions who still likes to buy books at the scrap yard."
The big guys all laughed when they saw Lin Yi, of course, there were sneers, there were greeting laughs, but more of them were puzzled laughs.
They don't understand, how can a guy like Lin Yi come back here to work hard and buy books, if they are replaced by them, they will lie comfortably in the air-conditioned room for a long time, how can they automatically find guilt.
Lin Yi stepped forward and gave cigarettes one by one very kindly, and the big guy hurriedly put down the work at hand, and the few people who originally laughed at him also felt embarrassed.
Lin Yi said: "Don't laugh at me, I am self-aware, but I am just lucky, what to do still needs to be done, well, everyone is my senior, and I have to learn from you." โ
A millionaire who said this to these poor haha did not look down on you in the slightest, and many people could not help but be useful.
Although there are now many millionaires, not as rare and expensive as before, Lin Yi's modest and cautious attitude still won everyone's favor.
Dong Glasses and Lin Yi have always had a close relationship, and they also feel that it is a little bad to always be sarcastic and jealous of others these days, plus they have smoked other people's good cigarettes, so they said politely: "Lin Yi, come to me, I have some good books here, let's pick them together." โ
Everyone also greeted Lin Yi, there are many old books here today, and he can pick up treasures if he is not lucky.
Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic about Lin Yi, Wang Heizi was the most unhappy.
Wang Heizi and his wife Sister Hong have been digging in this mountain-like scrap heap for most of the day, and they have gained the most, and they were originally in a good mood, but as soon as they saw Lin Yi, they remembered the two boxes of "The Condor Heroes" that they had sold at a loss.
To tell the truth, Wang Heizi, who has always been afraid of his wife, also had a fight with his wife Sister Hong, he hated Sister Hong for selling the book by herself, and Sister Hong was not easy to mess with, so she directly scratched him in the face, and afterwards, Wang Heizi said to people that the scar was scratched by a cat.
This is still small, what makes Wang Heizi unbearable the most is that Sister Hong directly stopped having sex with him for two weeks afterwards, and when she got into bed, she didn't look away and gave him a back. In the end, Wang Heizi had to open his mouth to beg for mercy, and then the overlord made a bow from behind, and tried his best to satisfy his wife, which can be regarded as the solution to this cold war between husband and wife.
Because of this, Wang Heizi was angry when he saw Lin Yi, so he opened his mouth and sneered: "Is it so easy to pick up treasures, do you think it's eating with chopsticks, saying that (full) treasures are treasures; People are going to pay attention to the way of luck, I see that Brother Lin's luck in the Temple of Wealth has been used almost, in this scrap station on the mention, if he is really lucky to find the treasure, my Wang Heizi will write his surname upside down! โ
Sister Hong also helped her husband, "That's it!" Do you think he is really sharp-eyed and can pick up treasures anytime and anywhere? The sharp-eyed one is Sun Wukong! Monkey King knows no, Sun Monkey has that ability, I think Brother Lin wants to practice this mastery unless he becomes a monkey, hehehe! After saying that, he laughed first.
People saw that the couple was talking too badly, sarcastic and ridiculous, and thought that Lin Yi would lose his temper, but Lin Yi just smiled at this, and then said: "Brother Wang is right, no one can say for sure about luck, besides, I am really not Sun Wukong, and I don't have the ability to be sharp-eyed, everyone praises me as a love for me...... Picking up the treasure depends on luck, I only hope that my luck will continue to be good, of course, I also hope that everyone has such good luck, we work together! โ
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he began to act on the waste paper pile, and when the others saw this, they all began to continue to search for books, everyone hoped that the god of luck would be able to take care of themselves today, not to mention much, at least be able to pick up some old books that were sold for money, after all, they were busy for most of the day.
"Wow, it's better to say than to sing!" Wang Heizi spat at the mouth, and Sister Hong next to her blinked a pair of natural squint eyes and said, "In charge, if that kid finds a treasure again, you won't really write your surname upside down, right?" โ
"Rub, you stupid woman, the word king is not a king word upside down? But this kid really wants to find another treasure, I'd rather call him Dad! In Wang Heizi's opinion, Lin Yi has absolutely no possibility of picking up treasures again, and he doesn't believe it if he kills him!
โฆโฆ
Overhead, the scorching sun roasted a huge mountain of waste paper.
The invisible heat evaporates from the waste paper pile, forming a stuffy heat that is unbearable.
Although Lin Yi was able to endure hardship, he really couldn't stand such a hot weather, and he wanted to rely on his keen sense of smell, but he found that doing so was simply a sin.
This is a scrap yard, full of all kinds of unpleasant smells, the smell of newspaper mold, the smell of dirt and dampness, and the filth that rolls in the steaming heat, filling the nose and expanding hundreds of times, making Lin Yi feel sick to his stomach.
At this moment, he understood why so many people had to wear masks, but unfortunately he was not prepared enough.
Lin Yi covered his nose with one hand, trying not to smell these unpleasant smells, he relied on the notes on Taoshu, and some knowledge seen in books, and tried to rummage carefully as much as possible, checking, and seeing if there were any fish that slipped through the net in the meticulous picking of everyone.
Looking at Lin Yi's appearance of a straw egg with his nose covered and rummaging through old books, Wang Heizi sneered even more, young man, you just can't endure hardship, you can't even stand the smell of the scrap station, what else can you do.
How did Wang Heizi know that Lin Yi's keen sense of smell that was a hundred times greater than ordinary people encountered the super unpleasant smell of the scrap station, which was a catastrophe of the century, and no one could bear it.
Lin Yi was sweating profusely, sweating profusely, looking up at the sky, the sun was still so hot, so cool, and there was no pity at all. He looked at the others again, most of them still giving up, hiding in the shade and whispering and smoking small cigarettes, after all, how difficult it was to find good things in this mountain of old books.
Only Wang Heizi and Dong Glasses had a few old fritters, still working tirelessly with the ultra-thin blade, quickly drawing a hole, and putting their hands into it, like going deep into the belly of a cow, grabbing out the internal organs, and picking up sacks of old books.
Lin Yi was very envious of these people's blades, he didn't prepare them, and those sacks were too tightly tied, Lin Yi tried to untie a few, but it took a long time, helpless, he had to give up this bag of old books, and instead find some books scattered on the waste paper pile.
Nowadays, Lin Yi likes to read Taoshu notes, and there are some books such as book talks, which basically explain the value of some old books, and these have become a reference for Lin Yi to Taobao old books. Not to mention, on the mountain of old books, he really paid a little bit of gain, at least, he found a few.
The first book, 1993 edition, Chengdu Science and Technology Publishing House, "Contemporary Chinese Medicine Stunt Collection: Seeking Medical Treatment", 182 pages, print run of 300 copies, Taoshu notes record that this kind of book can be found at a second-hand book stall for 2 yuan, can be sold for 90 yuan.
The second book, "A Preliminary Study of Modern Novel Techniques" printed by Huacheng Publishing House in 1981, has a print run of 3,000 copies, sold for 3 yuan on used book stalls, and can actually be sold for 130 yuan. Why? Because the author of this book is the first Chinese Nobel Prize winner in literature, not Mo Yan, Mo Yan can only be the second to win the Chinese Nobel Prize in Literature.
The third book, the 1980 edition of "Wang Guan Yinpu" published by the Shanghai Painting and Calligraphy Society, has a print run of 12,000 copies, and is sold for 5 to 8 yuan at the bookstall, with a maximum of 10 yuan, and can actually be sold for 80 yuan. Books such as prints have always been printed in small quantities, and they belong to the category of art professions, and are sought after by many art workers.
The fourth book, the first edition of "Li Runjie's Allegro Book Selection" by the People's Literature Publishing House in 1963, is a relatively rare quyi book, with the content of "Flaming Mountain" and "Wang Qi Xueyi", etc., and the things on the bookstall for 5 yuan can actually be sold for 50 yuan. Now that Guo Degang is popular, traditional storytelling, allegro books, and rap art have become hot batons, and many old ballads can be sold at high prices, and allegro books are no exception.
The fifth, the thin one, is a mimeographed version of "Selected Soil Orders" in the 60s, printed by the Revolutionary Committee of the Southern Capital, and the gadgets on the stalls can be sold for up to 3 yuan for 70 yuan. Especially in the recent fifties and sixties, the medical prescription is being hyped, and many mimeographed and lead-printed copies have risen in value, and there is a tendency to become a dark horse in the second-hand book market.
The sixth book, Tan Fucheng's book "Wasteland" by the Writer's Publishing House in 1992, is a small edition, with only 4,200 copies printed, which belongs to one of the new literary star series, and it is a missing book, which is now difficult to collect, and the missing book is of high value. Especially this "Wasteland", it is said that the "Wolf Totem" that caught fire a few years ago was plagiarized from this book, so it can be sold for at least 80 yuan in the market.
Six books, a total of more than 500 yuan, Lin Yi thinks it is very good, at least not in vain. So he was ready to stop, settle accounts, and leave.
โฆโฆ
Seeing that Lin Yi was busy working on the pile of old books for most of the day, he only found six books in total, weighing less than two catties, and the owner of the scrap station couldn't help but shake his head, this is not a good customer, in terms of catties, he only earned a total of 9 yuan and 5 cents with interest.
The others couldn't help laughing, and Wang Heizi put down the work he was busy with, stepped on a gray-green sack with one foot, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Lin, why don't you get it?" Is it because it's too hot, or because you can't find something good? There is no way, this line of work is hard work, and luck alone will not work...... Besides, as I said earlier, if you can find a treasure here, my name will be written backwards! "Being able to laugh at this guy who has earned millions unscrupulously is a very cool thing for Wang Heizi.
Lin Yi, who was paying the bill, stopped, he glanced back at Wang Heizi, who was laughing at him triumphantly, and then rubbed his nose very casually, a glimmer of light flashed inadvertently in his eyes, and then said with a smile: "That's right, it's really unreasonable to come here all the way to pick up only a few books...... Why don't you just bring another sack, the bag under your feet? โ
Wang Heizi was stunned for a moment, and kicked the sack he was stepping on, which he was about to break open to see, but it was not bad to be able to hack this stupid boy, "What's the matter, don't you open it and take a look?" โ
"No need, if you don't open it, it's only two yuan for a catty, and it will cost five yuan if you open it." Lin Yi said with a whimsical smile.
Silly fork, you bought a sack of waste paper!
"Here you go, do you want to carry it for you?" Wang Heizi asked deliberately.
"Thank you."
Wang Heizi carried it, the grass, quite heavy, it looks like there are a hundred and ten catties, almost more than 200 yuan, if a sack is all waste paper, I think you kid have to sรจ something.
Over the scales, a total of 120 catties, a total of 240 yuan.
Weigh and pay the bill.
And then the contents of this hemp bag are Lin Yi's.
Wang Heizi didn't want Lin Yi to leave like this, and the joke wasn't over yet, so he coaxed: "Brother Lin, use the blade to break it open and see if you bought a sack of treasure!" โ
His wife, Sister Hong, also pouted: "It won't be that you don't dare, or you're embarrassed, afraid of being embarrassed." โ
Although Dong Glasses and the others disdained the couple's behavior, they were also very curious, and they didn't know what Lin Yi bought in the end. It stands to reason that there must be a lot of waste paper, alas, this stupid boy, I really think that Lady Luck is your mother.
Lin Yi was still smiling, he didn't seem to be angry at all, he smiled and said to Wang Heizi: "Okay then, Brother Wang, borrow your blade." โ
Wang Heizi gave him the blade.
Lin Yi looked at the sack of things he bought, then looked at the halfway waist and slashed down very chicly.
But when I saw a "bang", a large pile of antique thread-bound books rolled out of the sack-
The Diamond Sutra, the Prajnamita Sutra, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sutra, the Cause and Effect Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra......
All of them are ancient Buddhist scriptures, all over the place.
At a glance, there are at least more than 300 copies.
Everyone, stupid.
