Chapter 541. Gourd King
Lin Yi has been playing books for so long, and occasionally he will meet one or two people who don't follow the rules, Pan Jiayuan's rules are very simple, the book is in the hands of others, you can't ask, people are bargaining, you can't talk more, let alone come out halfway to raise the price.

The old man also seemed to realize that what he was doing was not authentic, his face was a little red, he glanced at Lin Yi, and then at the bookstall owner, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "I mean this set of villain books "Divine Elephant Array" If he doesn't want it, I'm willing to pay a hundred yuan to buy it--- well, that's it." The expression was a little embarrassed.
The boss didn't care about this, he was not a fool, and immediately understood that this set of books was valuable--- so his first reaction was to say to Lin Yi: "I'm sorry, man, I won't sell this set of books for the time being...... Keep it for yourself. β
Without saying it thoroughly, everyone understood what it meant. People have to take it back and check the price.
Lin Yi knew that this set of books was out of play, but it didn't matter, he had already earned some. As for the old man who broke the rules, he also regretted it, offended people, lost face, and didn't say anything, and in the end he didn't get anything.
Generally speaking, he was too anxious, seeing that Lin Yi was constantly picking up leaks and picking up leaks, he couldn't hold back a little, so he spoke, who knew that stealing chickens would not make rice.
Fortunately, Lin Yi is the kind of former humble gentleman type of character, and if he were someone else, it is estimated that he will scold this old man again at this time.
Lin Yi's gentleness made the man even more ashamed, and immediately chased after Lin Yi and apologized: "I'm sorry, brother." I was a little anxious just now.,Mainly because I collect comic books.,It's missing that set of books.,That's why that's why ...... what's the next thing I'm embarrassed to say.γ
Seeing this, Lin Yi just smiled, and then said, "It's okay, just pay attention next time." If you really like your set of books, I can also give it to you after I buy it, don't be too anxious. β
As soon as these words came out, the man was even more ashamed, embarrassed to say anything more, said hello, and left.
β¦β¦
At this time, Lin Yi and Lao Cao had already separated, in Lao Cao's opinion, he didn't even have to gnaw on the bones with Lin Yi, his eyes were too sharp, and he still had to open up the battlefield and pick up the leaks by himself.
As for Huang Jiaotou, Lin Yi also sent him around, after all, Lao Huang was interested in those military supplies, such as chapters, binoculars, etc., which had nothing to do with his favorite old books.
Therefore, at this time, Lin Yi was alone, fortunately, without Huang Jiaotou's bag and the car pulled behind his buttocks, he was not afraid of dragging even if he bought more books.
At this time, it was almost half past four, and the gate of Panjiayuan was wide open, and large cars and small cars were coming in and out. The shop is closed, the lights are dim, and the figures are longing, a bit of a sleepwalking ghost. But the street of the bookstall was more lively than before, and the flashlights were all over the place. It seems that more Taobao customers have joined the ranks of Taobao in this ghost market, and some foreign vendors have also entered one after another, at least there are a few more bookstalls in the place where Lin Yi just walked.
Looking at the people around him, he basically has a harvest, and an old man's handbag has been filled. In the middle of the light and half in the dark, I saw a man with a Henan accent squatting on the ground and pulling out a book from the bag, Lin Yi rushed over in three steps and two steps, called "fellow", squatted down, and read it one by one, the man said happily: "You are also from the original from the middle, and you really met a fellow ......."
Lin Yi picked out a book, twenty yuan, and asked when he paid the money, "How is the business?" β
"That's all! It's better to make hard-earned money than farming in your hometown, and you can't get two dollars off if you work hard for a whole year......" The man smoked a cigarette, the cigarette butt was bright and extinguished, full of vicissitudes.
The sky was numb, and a sharp voice pierced the dawn sky: "You want eight hundred for this broken thing?!" Lose your marbles?! Just three hundred! ......" followed the sound, but saw the bald old Cao Zheng turning around and jumping out of a stall, with his fat physique, it was not easy to make such a difficult action. The stall owner didn't chase after the three hundred-dollar bills in his hand, and shouted with a smile: "Add another hundred!" Lao Cao turned around and took out a hundred yuan and handed it to him, unloaded the backpack to his chest, stuffed the book in, looked up and looked at Lin Yi, and said excitedly: "How about you look at this book?" "It's mysterious.
Lin Yi saw that what he was holding in his hand was a hardcover "Anthology of Woodcuts in the 50s" in the 50s.
Look at the copyright of this book, the People's Fine Arts Publishing House, with a print run of only 2,000 copies, which contains the works of many famous woodcarvers, as well as the colorful portrait of Chairman Mao and the head of Zhu De, which belongs to the category of red collection, which is a good thing.
Lao Cao was very happy to be affirmed by Lin Yi, you must know that this book sells for seven or eight hundred, or even thousands, on the Internet, but he spent four hundred yuan, which can be regarded as a leak.
"Let me see what you've bought?" Lao Cao asked.
Lin Yi opened the cloth bag for him to see, and Lao Cao was envious while watching: "Just your sharp eyes, you have earned so many good things!" Hey, don't you don't play comic books, and you even bought so many --- how much does it cost to have a copy? β
"Five."
"Cheap enough! β¦β¦ Oops, these books should be missing, right? I'm so envious of you! No, I'm going to go over there and have a look, and I'll have a round later! After speaking, Lao Cao pulled out his legs and left.
Seeing Lao Cao's rush as if he was being chased, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing, and at this time, he didn't know who said, "It's snowing." Lin Yi looked at it, and under the illumination of the searchlight on his head, clusters of fine snow fell from the top of his head, making the "ghost market" of Panjiayuan in the dark night more indescribably poignant.
β¦β¦
After another circle, Lin Yi only bought a copy of "The Complete Works of Lu Xun", a calligraphy and painting album, plus two notebooks. But what surprised Lin Yi the most was that he only spent 5 yuan to buy a set of two volumes of director Li Hanxiang's memoir "Shadow Sea Career", which was published by the Rural Reading Publishing House in the 80s.
Lin Yi likes Hong Kong movies in the Shaw Brothers era very much, so he especially likes the great director Li Hanxiang. I especially like to watch the Fengyue films he shoots, and I think they are very interesting and beautiful. This series of books is about anecdotes about the early Hong Kong film industry, which was once made into a glamorous film by the Shaw Brothers. In terms of version, there is a Hong Kong version, which is expensive on the Internet, requiring more than 300 yuan. The content of this mainland version has been cut--- mainly some erotic movie anecdotes have been deleted, although it is a castrated version, but Lin Yi is also very happy, you must know that like this set of products in his hand, it also takes forty or fifty yuan to put it on the Internet.
Of course, spending 5 yuan to find such a good set of books, is not the most happy, what excites Lin Yi the most is that this time he did not use aura, he unexpectedly picked up the treasure--- in the title page of this set of books actually sandwiched a newspaper clipping about Liu Xiaoqing, after taking out this clipping, the title page is still written on the word, take a closer look, dizzy, it turned out to be the signed book given by director Li Hanxiang to the great writer Zhang Zhongxing, which was sent to Mr. Zhang by Peking University when he came to the mainland to shoot "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with a Curtain".
Not to mention the value of this newspaper clipping, the value of the autographed book, just talking about this strange luck, let Lin Yi feel the fun of PokΓ©tao in the "ghost market" of Panjiayuan for the first time.
However, if this kind of accidental treasure picking is fun, it is obvious to underestimate the place of Panjiayuan, a "hidden dragon and crouching tiger". Because just when Lin Yi wanted to continue to bury his head in the books, he suddenly heard a noise---
"Look, who is that?"
"Ha, isn't it the 'Monk Clothes Gourd King' among the four kings of the capital?"
"It turned out to be him!"
"I've heard of the name for a long time!"
β¦β¦
A group of people in groups of three or two, gathered together and pointed at a man in fancy costume.
Lin Yi looked in their direction, only to see a person standing on the stall not far away, wearing the kind of open robe worn by ancient monks, wearing a hat, wearing coarse cotton shoes on his feet, hanging all kinds of thick beads around his neck, as well as various sizes of gourds, and other ornaments, and carrying a huge gourd behind his back--- how big the gourd was, Lin Yi's memory seems to be in the Hong Kong TV series "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" in the eighties, the one on Tie Guan Li's back is not as big as the one in front of him.
As the so-called big hidden in the city, in the Panjiayuan this place of the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are so many mysterious masters, often like antelope hanging horns, a shock, the world is difficult to find its trace, the dragon sees the head but not the tail, but, there is no doubt that its people and things are indeed famous in the world.
The man with the big gourd on his back in front of him is one of the famous four kings of Panjiayuan, known as the 'King of Gourds in Monk's Clothes'.
This gentleman has been dressed all year round--- to be precise, the style of clothes is the same, gray-white open robes and monk's robes, wearing hats. He buys and sells goods in Panjiayuan, and what he sells are Buddhist beads, pendants, ornaments, and hand-carved gourds around his neck.
As for the big gourd behind him, it is not for sale, it is like his portable signboard or magic weapon, and when you look at it from afar, you know that he is coming.
The things sold by the "Hulu King" are very cheap, so many small merchants and vendors like to deal with him, and he has a unique vision, and the cultural toys he buys are basically good things.
If you think of him as a poor monk, then you are wrong, because he has not been shaved, under the hat, but his head is a little bald, and it is said that he is never short of money, and he does not care about money, so he wanders around the Pan family, two or three times a month, and when he encounters some hardship, he will also take out money to help rescue them. I heard that he also knows how to use good medical skills, but he never charges money for medical treatment, but just prescribes prescriptions for you, believe it or not, and let you take the medicine yourself. However, I heard that most of the patients he treated recovered quickly, so he was also called the "miracle doctor". And his big gourd is considered by everyone to be a treasure containing an elixir.
Because of his strange clothes and strange behavior, he only shows up once or twice a month, and then hides in the mountains and forests, smiling proudly. Therefore, for many people, this "monk robed gourd king" is simply a typical hermit, or a strange man,
