The used bookstalls of the "Sanxian Mountain" temple fair are very distinctive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info feature is that the sellers who come from nearby basically don't have any good books worth collecting on the stalls, let alone any thread-bound books and Republic of China books.

And those sellers who come from afar, the old books on their bookstalls are a little "extraordinary", to be precise, there are a lot of good things, but the price is also very expensive.

After Lin Yi "scanned" the used bookstalls where the "big road goods" were piled up, except for buying this Nobel "Confused", he didn't find any good books worth collecting. So I had to turn my attention to the bookstalls of those distant sellers.

These sellers from afar are basically in the same group as those who sell antiques, and they are not so much selling books as antiques. Because of the high price, basically no one cares.

Lin Yi casually looked at a few stalls, an old book from the fifties, and the other party asked for a high price of seventy or eighty, for example, Guo Moruo's "Goddess", a paperback published in the fifties, the other party asked for 80 yuan, but Lin Yi clearly knew that this book had a large print run, and it was only about twenty or thirty yuan if it was in more than nine grades on the Internet.

Seeing these old books that were sold as antiques, Lin Yi didn't know what the taste was in his heart.

There was a time when old books also became collectibles, and it was embarrassing to think of the windfall gains at the used book stalls in the past. One of the most exciting is to find a book of Lu Xun's handwriting with eight open lines, which costs less than two yuan, which is really cost-effective, and another time is to buy a book of eight calligraphy collections, although it is only a few thin pages, but it is a treasure that I have longed for, which is precious.

Not long ago, Lao Cao's experience of digging books made people can't believe that this is true, he actually found a sketchbook of Mr. Huang Dufeng, a master of the Lingnan School, in other places! To this day, his triumphant expression is still shaking in front of Lin Yi's eyes, which is unforgettable. But then again, this is just his personal subjective assumption, and it is really the true work of Master Huang. Especially after Lin Yi was discerned by the aura, he was even more sure that it was a fake. However, Lin Yi did not tell Lao Cao about this fact in the end, after all, the greatest joy of Taoshu is to pick up leaks.

Mr. Peng Hun wrote in his article "Searching for Books": "Searching for books sometimes makes people sad. Seeing the painstaking works of those literary giants on the stalls for sale, people can't help but think of the embarrassment of the dragon swimming in the water and the tiger falling into Pingyang, and even thinking of the bitterness of everyone's girlfriends falling into the dust. ”

Lin Yi deeply agrees with this.

……

At this moment, wandering around to these stalls that buy and sell "antique books", although he knew that these old books were expensive, Lin Yi couldn't help but flip through them in front of a stall.

There are a lot of antique books in this bookstall, but most of them are Republic of China books, especially some new literature of the Republic of China, which are in good condition and have very good content.

Among them, there are "From 918 to 77" published by Jiangxi Publishing House in 1949, "My Youth" by modern writer Ai Wu published by Kaiming Bookstore in the 37th year of the Republic of China, "Examination of Lu Xun's Deeds" by contemporary writer Lin Chen published by Kaiming Bookstore in the 37th year of the Republic of China, "Crime" by Yutian printed by Kaiming Publishing House in the 30th year of the Republic of China, and "Struggle" by Kaiming Bookstore in the 37th year of the Republic of China by the middle school student magazine. Shanghai Zhonghua Book Company published the famous playwright Xiong Foxi's "Butcher --- Three Acts Script" in the 29th year of the Republic of China. In the 36th year of the Republic of China, Vientiane Publishing House "Tian Han Anthology", and the contemporary writer Shen Congwen "Xiangxi" printed by Kaiming Bookstore in the 33rd year of the Republic of China.

Lin Yi couldn't put these books down, read and looked, the boss who sold the books seemed to be from Xiangxi, and said with a strong local accent: "Little brother, these books are all good books, each one is almost a hundred years old, and they are all new literature of the Republic of China--- do you know what new literature is?" ”

Of course, Lin Yi knew what the new literature of the Republic of China was, but he pretended to be ignorant, and the stall owner who sold books saw this, so he popularized knowledge for him, and only said that the collection of new literature of the Republic of China was a collection project that could make a lot of money, and said that as long as you buy a copy from me, you can double it by this time next year, as if buying his books is more powerful than investing in stocks.

Lin Yi still looked ignorant after hearing this, and asked, "Then how much do these books cost?" ”

When the bookstall owner saw that he had finally asked for the price, in order not to scare him away, he said, "If you want to buy as many copies as you want, you will be given a discount." ”

Lin Yi picked up the eight books he had just read, put them in front of him, and said, "Let's just put these eight books for the time being." ”

The stall owner's eyes lit up, and his heart said, "Big customer."

"Ahem, little brother, I see that you look like Swenwen, at first glance you are a reader--- you can meet me, and you have picked so many books, it can be regarded as you and I have fate, so ...... Originally, these books were sold for four or five hundred, but they gave you a discount, three hundred each, and eight copies were 2,400 yuan! ”

When Lin Yi heard this price, he shook his head like a rattle and said, "It's too expensive--- I can't afford it." After saying that, he was about to leave.

Just kidding, this book seller really regarded him as a fool, a book of three hundred, of which the most valuable is Shen Congwen's "Xiangxi", which belongs to Shen Congwen's early prose works. The book vividly describes the beautiful and rich place of Xiangxi, and the author describes "the boat of Changde", "the people of Yuanling", "the wharf of the Baihe", "the coal of Chenji" and "the problem of the Miao people", from which the author's early longing for his hometown can be seen. The geographical features of Xiangxi, the accidents of human feelings, the writing is smooth, the sound is colorful, especially the description of Xiangxi customs, Miao people and bandits is more distinctive, it is the author's early prose travelogue, only 1,000 copies were published at that time, which can be said to be a rare treasure.

If this book is worth 300, it is definitely a small omission, because it is worth it even if it is sold for 500 yuan. However, the other seven books are not worth the money, and each book is only more than 100 yuan at most.

How did the book seller know that Lin Yi was a big expert in the collection of "new literature" in the Republic of China, and thought that he really didn't understand anything, so he patiently asked him, "Then how much can you contribute at most?" ”

Lin Yi looked at Lao Cao, cut off half of it directly, and said, "1200 yuan!" ”

The stall owner was suspicious, and looked at Lin Yi again and again, because the price that Lin Yi delivered was too accurate, and the accuracy made him not have much money to make. However, he came all the way from Xiangxi to come here to catch the temple fair, thinking that he could come to have a bumper harvest, who knew that the local people did not know the goods, and those who came here to pray to God and worship Buddha were even more blind, and they didn't even look at their bookstalls. Seeing that the temple fair is about to end tomorrow, can it be said that he took a big duck egg home? Nima, it's not even enough to pay for the round trip!

Thinking of this, the bookstall owner gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to be like this, little brother, I see that you also want to buy it, and I also sell it sincerely, you add another 1,500 yuan ---, and you take eight books!" ”

Lin Yi knew that he was loose as soon as he saw his expression, since you were loose, then I would be firm to the end, so he continued to shake his head and said: "I bought these books for 1200 yuan, I don't know how to explain it to my family--- alas, if you don't sell it, then forget it, I'll look at it again." After saying that, he made a gesture that he wanted to leave.

The boss was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Little brother, please stay--- why don't we discuss it again, 1,300 yuan, and I will give you another 200 yuan discount." ”

Lin Yi still shook his head, looking very stubborn.

Seeing this, the boss was out of line, so he said: "Okay, 1200 is 1200 yuan!" It's kind of pulling you a customer! ”

For those of them who come all the way to set up stalls, it would be very good to be able to sell some of them back to their capital, first, they can earn a travel fee, and second, they can also bring less things.

In fact, Lin Yi knew in his heart that it would cost the boss about seven or eight hundred yuan to collect these eight books, and 1,200 yuan would earn about 500 yuan, which was about the same.

In short, for these businessmen, it is better to have something to earn than no business.

……

Sure enough, when he saw that Lin Yi was so "generous", he bought thousands of yuan of books at the "antique bookstall" in one go, and other people who sold this kind of antique books were hot.

Seeing Lin Yi shopping over with the newly bought books, he hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "Come and see, I also have a lot of good books here!" ”

"Good books are on sale, and the more you buy, the more you get!"

"Friend, let's see, which one in the photo is cheaper for you!"

……

Seeing that the big guy was so enthusiastic, Lin Yi also took the initiative to sweep his eyes to other used book stalls, and began to "buy, buy, buy" crazy in the eyes of outsiders!

First of all, he used 450 to buy the Republic of China Shanghai Youzheng Book Company issued in the Republic of China "Mr. Kang Nanhai's posthumous manuscript", Kang Nanhai is "Kang Youwei", the manuscript is Mr. Kang Youwei's protégé Xu Qin, Shen Zipei criticized the school title, is the study of Mr. Kang Youwei's life revolutionary deeds, political aspirations, calligraphy and precious materials, is a rare treasure, according to today's market price, the value of about 85 products is about 600---800 yuan.

Then he purchased a volume of "Supplementary Textbook for Natural Science in Wartime" issued by the Commercial Press in the 27th year of the Republic of China for 150 yuan, which was written by Song Jianqin and Yang Jie, both of which were works during the Anti-Japanese War and had special significance for the study of the history of the Anti-Japanese War.

Immediately, he purchased "The Shape and Appreciation of Zisha Teapot" for 30 yuan, and purchased a photocopy of the Song version of "Zhou Yi Benyi" for 20 yuan, which is of high value for the study of Song books.

However, what made Lin Yi even happier was that he spent 100 yuan to buy a copy of the "Anthology of Prose Models" in the early Republic of China, which were all model essays written by famous contemporary authors, including Li Dazhao, Kang Youwei, Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Wang Jingwei, Cai Yuanpei, Chen Duxiu, Zhang Taiyan and other masterpieces, such as "Revolution and Restoration Debate", "Analysis of the Yangtze River Situation", "On Colonial Policy", "Theory of Equal Rights for Men and Women", "Interpretation of the Republican Form of Government", "Commenting on the Merits and Crimes of the Three Left Hands of Zeng", "Explaining the Right to Rule", "On China's Bad System", "Proposed Prosecution of the National Army" On the Pros and Cons of the Monarchy and the Democratic People", "The Current Situation of the Great Powers", "The Order of Sending Mr. Sun Yat-sen to Nanjing", "Strictly Prohibiting Opium Discussion" and other famous works. It is a rare material for studying the politics, history, economy, culture, and military of the revolution of the Republic of China. The book has a beautiful font, smooth writing, and exquisite language, which is worthy of collection and high value.

……

Lin Yi is such a big sweeper, only looking at the books around him, and the envy of those who buy books, if there are also "local tyrants" who buy books, there is no doubt that Lin Yi is one of the "local tyrants".

The bookbag he was carrying was getting heavier and heavier, and the stall owners beckoned him to buy books. There is an endless stream of sellers who greet him with smiling faces. Watching him open his table--- compared to those poor sellers, countless people regard him as a "walking ATM", hoping to make a small profit from him.

As for Lin Yi, he was also very cooperative with these sellers, because Lin Yi knew that these people would sell the rare books in their bookstalls as long as they could make a little money at this point. If nothing else, just watching others sell books, but they haven't opened yet, this kind of psychological threshold can't be passed by themselves.

Therefore, Lin Yi knows that this is the best time to buy books like crazy, and I am here for the antique book sweep! (To be continued.) )
