After leaving the HSBC pawnshop, Lin Yicai realized that he had nowhere to go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info usually he is very light, unlike those office workers who have a lot of pressure, at the moment suddenly "unemployed", only to find that it seems to be quite interesting to be an office worker, at least there is a clear goal in life.

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, Lin Yi thought about it, let's do my old job and go to those bookstalls.

But today is not the weekend, there are no stalls in the Temple of Wealth and other places, and if you want to buy old books, you can only go to the flower and bird market on Binhe Road.

As soon as the addiction to books comes up, you can't stop it.

Anyway, it's okay, Lin Yi plans to go there.

……

When I came to the flower and bird market, there were very few people, only to see rows of shops were very idle, some bosses set up tables outside to fight the landlords, and some were changing the water for goldfish, and one boss brought out those miniature small turtles and let them bask in the sun......

On the other side of the road is the flower shop, where all kinds of greenery are placed at the door, and after a winter baptism, the branches and foliage are not as lush as in spring and summer, and the pots and pots look wilted and listless.

These are not Lin Yi's favorites, so Lin Yi walked towards the back of the flower and bird market, there is an antique area in the back, there are more than a dozen antique shops, specializing in antique jade, beads and strange stones, of course, including some old books, and most of them are collectible thread-bound books.

Lin Yi browsed two or three casually, and the most of the shops were either jade or bracelets, or some stone tablets, stone mills, and cow sinks placed at the door......

Don't underestimate these things, these are all treasures, from the Qing Dynasty, from the Ming Dynasty, many of them are engraved with words, and they have a history of hundreds of years in terms of age. In particular, a beautifully carved champion monument was placed indoors by the boss, with a big red cloth in his pocket, enjoying special treatment, Lin Yi asked casually, and the boss asked for "1.5 million".

Leaving these shops, Lin Yi continued to wander, because the market was deserted, and he was very conspicuous alone. Not far away, in front of a shop selling bracelets, walnut pendants, and messy miscellaneous items, a small stall was set up at random, on which some old books were placed.

It was rare to see the booksstand, Lin Yi hurriedly walked over, a young woman with a sweater on her upper body, a short skirt on her lower body and bodybuilding pants, crossed her legs, sitting in front of the door with a very indecent posture while playing with her mobile phone, while snorting melon seeds, her mouth was very neat, and the ground was already full of melon seed skins.

Lin Yi flipped through those books, basically they were all big road goods, and I don't know where to get them, especially the martial arts in the eighties, Chen Qingyun's "Ugly Swordsman", Sima Ling's "Drinking Horse Yellow River", Wolongsheng's "Yue Xiaochai", "Jade Hairpin League" and so on.

The covers of these old martial arts are very "popular", even exaggerated, quite like the kind of hand-painted posters that were put up outside the video halls in the 80s to attract customers. This kind of cover has more visual impact than the current martial arts cover. Especially those big red and green covers that look very vulgar, in Lin Yi's view, they are the imprint of an era.

Lin Yi had also read martial arts before, so he was still interested in these books, so he asked, "How many of these books are there?" ”

The woman was playing QQ Farm on her mobile phone, busy going to other people's fields to "steal vegetables", and when she saw Lin Yi asking, she quickly looked up and said, "You can give it casually." ”

Lin Yiwaner, is it important to play with mobile phones, or is it important to do business. I didn't want to ask any more questions, so I put those books down.

These books are not worth much, "The Ugly Swordsman" is at most 10 yuan, "Drinking the Yellow River" is at most 15, and "Yue Xiaochai" and "Flying Flowers and the Moon" together are 30 enough. However, it seems that there are some people who like to collect this kind of old martial arts now, saying that there is a sense of nostalgia. However, most of these martial arts are pirated and have a huge print run, so the price has not been speculated. Unlike those Jin Yong martial arts collected by Lin Yi, they are all genuine books, with limited print runs and exquisite binding, which has great collection value.

Lin Yi was about to leave, but found a paperback book on the bookstall with a light green and elegant cover, which looked antique.

Lin Yi picked it up and looked at it, but it was the "Night Sailing Boat" by the Ming Dynasty essayist Zhang Dai.

Zhang Dai is known as the first person in prose in the past three hundred years, and even surpasses the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, and is second to none in prose achievements. And his masterpiece is the "Night Sailing Boat", which has been highly praised by literati and writers throughout the ages.

Because of this, the price of all Zhang Dai's works and books is generally very high, especially the old books about his works, which often have a small print run and are also selected by the publishing house, which further guarantees the price of used books.

Lin Yi looked at the copyright page of this book and saw that Zhejiang Ancient Books Publishing House, one edition and one printing in 1987, only 7,000 copies were printed.

It can be seen that this is a good book.

Lin Yi took a breath, flipped through it next to the book, and then his eyes lit up, and he found another copy of Zhang Dai's work--- "Zhang Dai's Poetry Anthology", the cover was sky blue, and it also looked very elegant. Looking at the copyright, but in 1991, Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, one edition and one printing, only 2,000 copies were printed.

Needless to say, this one is even more valuable than "Night Sailing Boat".

Lin Yi remained silent, picked up the book "Night Sailing Boat" first, and asked the woman, "Hello, how much is this book?" ”

The woman looked up, and this time she didn't let "give it casually", but at a fixed price: "10 yuan!" ”

Lin Yi, I'm dizzy, it's cheaper than those martial arts.

So Lin Yi put down the book, picked up the "Zhang Dai Poetry Anthology" and asked, "What about this one?" ”

The woman was a little impatient, looked at the book, and said, "This one is thicker than the other, the minimum is 15." ”

Lin Yi picked up the two books together and said, "It's cheaper to have two books together, how about 20?" ”

The woman waved her hand, "Okay, take it." ”

Lin Yi happily paid the woman, you know, this "Night Sailing Boat", which is close to the ninth grade, is sold for 100 yuan on the Internet. As for the "Zhang Dai Poetry Anthology", it is worth 400 yuan.

Lin Yi spent 20 yuan and bought two books worth 500 yuan, which can be regarded as a small leak.

How did the woman know that she was playing games, and was picked up by Lin Yi, and seeing that Lin Yi was leaving, she knocked on the melon seeds and asked Lin Yi: "Do you want those martial arts?" ”

Lin Yi said, "No, just these two books." ”

The woman was a little dissatisfied and muttered, "I thought you bought it together and gave you that price." ”

Lin Yi smiled: "Next time, I will have the opportunity to patronize you." ”

The woman pursed her lips, spit out the skin of melon seeds, and began to play with her mobile phone again.

……

Not long after Lin Yi left, her man came back, and the woman proudly told her about the sale of two books.

The man was furious on the spot, and scolded the losers, the two most expensive books in a mess, Lao Tzu also used a pencil to indicate the price behind the book, one is 100, one is 450, and you actually sell it for 20? I know all day long that I am "stealing" vegetables with my mobile phone, I think you are stupid to "steal"! (To be continued.) )
