"Kids, do you like ice cream? There are some sold not far ahead, and my uncle gives you money, so can you buy ice cream to eat? Lin Yi said in a harmonious voice to the little fat man, and tried to squeeze out between his eyebrows that you are very cute, and my uncle likes you so much and loves your expression.

But the little fat dun was clearly shrewd, and he was not moved by Lin Yi's "hypocrisy", so he wiped his nose with his hand and said, "I'm losing weight." ”

Lin Yi: "......"

Very characterful, this kid.

"Then can you stop reading these comic strips and watch those comics, which are more suitable for you......" Lin Yi pointed to some Hong Kong version of martial arts comics on the bookshelf.

Chubby Dun scoffed again, "I've seen all of those, I'm a regular customer here, understand?" As he spoke, he glared at Lin Yi very angrily, as if Lin Yi was an outsider who made soy sauce.

Lin Yi felt that there was a true qi running in his lungs--- he was about to explode.

"Ahem. That's right, children, my uncle likes these comic books very much, I came all the way and wanted to buy them back as souvenirs, so can you not read them yet? Lin Yi said in a good voice.

"Why?" Little Fat Dun looked at him, "I look at me, you buy yours, such a big person doesn't even understand this--- rusty teasing." ”

Rusty teasing?

Lin Yi understands the word, after watching so many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, "rusty head" is a common language used in Hong Kong films, and the number of appearances is by no means weaker than "lean" and "wow".

Suppressing the sullen breath in his chest that was about to explode, Lin Yi still said to the little fat dun with a pleasant face: "Dear children, uncle, I came here from all the mainland all the way away, not to quarrel with you...... You are the future master of Macau, you must have a sense of ownership, the teacher must have taught you to be polite and first, respect the old and love the young......"

"But you're not old." Little Fat Dun looked at Lin Yi, "What's more, I'm a child, you should let me." ”

For the first time, Lin Yi actually felt that he couldn't deal with a bear child.

"Okay, I'll throw in the towel, so now you tell me, what can I do before you can help me?" Since it's not right, let's go straight to it.

Little Fat Dun rolled his eyes, looked at Lin Yi, and suddenly stretched out two chubby fingers very arrogantly: "Two ice creams!" ”

"Didn't you lose weight?" Lin Yi was surprised.

Chubby glanced at the cartoon watch he was wearing, and pretended to say, "Oh, I just found out that my weight loss time has passed." ”

Lin Yi was speechless.

……

"The Biography of Ji Gong" and "The Biography of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" published by Hong Kong Xinya Colorful Painting Company, and "Journey to the North" and "Journey to the South" published by Hong Kong Beautiful Art Society, are all eight volumes per box, with a total of 32 volumes.

"Grandma, how much do these four sets of comic books sell?" Finally, without the hindrance of the bear children, Lin Yi can happily talk to the bookstall grandmother.

The old woman was still shaking the banana fan, and a smile appeared on her cheeks wrinkled by the sea breeze, and said, "These four sets of doll books cost 4,000 Hong Kong dollars." ”

"Oh, a set is almost 1,000 Hong Kong dollars." Lin Yi calculated that 1,000 Hong Kong dollars is about 850 yuan, and four sets are about 3,400.

"It's not cheap." Lin Yi sighed.

But Lin Yi knows better in his heart that if a comic book of such quality is taken to the mainland, it is estimated that it can cost thousands of dollars, and it is not a loss to buy it.

The old woman heard Lin Yi's words, so she smiled and said: "These sets of dolls are in good condition, but seeing that you are from the mainland, I will give you some discounts, well, 3500 is good." ”

Everyone had already discounted it, and Lin Yi couldn't say anything, so he took out the Hong Kong dollar, counted 3,500 and handed it to Grandma.

The old woman was also careful, took the money and counted it, looked carefully at the authenticity, and then took out a purse-like bag, and said: "I'm laughing at you, the main reason is that business is not doing well now, especially in Macao Street, and selling anything is better than selling books." ”

"Why?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

The old woman shook her fan again and said, "It's not because there are many casinos here, people who come here go to casinos to gamble money, and buying books is buying 'losing', who would look for such bad luck." So I set up a stall like this to pass the time and give the children a place to read...... Macau is becoming more and more prosperous, but there are fewer and fewer people reading books. He sighed.

"Now that I'm old, I don't know if I'll be able to set up a stall in the future, what will happen to so many books, and what about those children who like to read? Like the little fat man just now, he is the most loyal little reader of my bookstall ...... I like to see them sitting here and reading a book, when people get old, they inevitably like children, like to watch children learn and play...... If I could, I, the doll book mother-in-law, would like to continue to do it, if not for anything else, just to look at them a few more times---"

Lin Yi couldn't help but be in awe, the grandmother in front of him looked inconspicuous, but she was making her own contribution to the city. These contributions may be insignificant, or even change much of reality, but she has been working on them......

Those who work hard are worthy of respect.

The old woman put the doll book that Lin Yi bought in a paper bag, and said to Lin Yi: "I'm sorry, plastic bags are not allowed here, paper bags may not be strong, you be careful." ”

Lin Yat nodded, like Hong Kong, Macau people are also very environmentally conscious, unlike the mainland, where plastic bags can be found everywhere.

"By the way, Grandma, is this the only bookstall for you, I want to buy some more books." Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.

The old woman smiled, handed the bookbag to Lin Yi and said, "Hou Shengzi, you are the right person." Didn't I just say that the bookstores on Macau Street are miserable, and many of them have closed down if they can't do it. Luckily, there is another one, if you don't bother, just turn left along this road, and there is a second-hand bookstore called 'Ah Shuibo' not far in front of you, if you can't find it, just ask someone. ”

Lin Yi didn't expect to be able to ask about such a harvest, and was overjoyed, he searched all the second-hand bookstores in Hong Kong, but he didn't expect to be able to shop in Macau once.

Bidding farewell to the bookstall grandma, Lin Yi lifted the comic strip in his hand and happily looked for it in the direction that the grandma said.

……

I thought that I could find the used bookstore quickly, but I never thought that Lin Yi looked around for a long time, but he still couldn't find the right place.

There are a lot of people in Macau Street, and it feels like there are more than Hong Kong, maybe because of the small place, Lin Yi feels that God has stuffed everyone in one place at once.

Finally, at the corner in front, Lin Yi asked the right person, it was an old man sitting at the door basking in the sun, gray hair, spirited, his simplicity was incompatible with the prosperity of Macau.

Lin Yi asked him: "Hello, old man, where is the Ashui Bo Used Bookstore?" ”

The old man smiled, showed his toothless mouth, and said a little out of style: "Hou Shengzi, are you looking for a bookstore?" That's it. He pointed to the old brick house across the road.

"What?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, looked up at the door of the house, there was no signboard.

The old man smiled, "Don't look at it, that's Ah Shuibo's second-hand bookstore, he does a neighborhood business, and he doesn't need any signboards." ”

Another thing that the old man didn't say was that if a bookstore like this didn't have a signboard, it wouldn't be considered an official bookstore, so the owner wouldn't have to pay taxes.

After thanking the old man, Lin Yi walked briskly towards the used bookstore, thinking that he could get there after walking a few steps, but who knew that there were cars coming and going on the road, he just stopped for more than three minutes, and then walked across the road.

The brick house was right in front of him, and Lin Yi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this house, it was a miracle that there were such old buildings in Macau.

In fact, this is also the result of the protection of old-fashioned buildings in Macau, unlike the mainland, where many cultural relics have been demolished in order to build high-rise buildings.

But in any case, this unique second-hand bookstore is right in front of him, and Lin Yi's heart for books is so excited that he can't wait to get into it.

……

Lin Yi walked into this "Ah Shui Bo Used Bookstore", but felt that the inside and outside of the store were simply two worlds.

If the outside is a world of cars and tourists, then this is a paradise of quaint old books.

Looking around, I saw that the walls around the house were posted with old wall charts and old paintings with a very Macau and Hong Kong flavor, and there was a price in Hong Kong dollars below, which may be more popular here, so the local pataca was not indicated.

Among them, there is an advertising painting that seems to be in the 80s, the humble fat boy is holding a koi fish, which means "there are fish every year", and under the boy's feet is a large number of beautifully packaged "wife cakes", and the following is the advertising slogan of Macau wife cakes, "Macao specialty, and good taste!" ”

The list price attached below is: HK$388.

Lin Yi did a rough calculation, about 330 yuan.

Another painting is clearly of the Portuguese colonial period in Macau in the 60s, showing a beautiful fisherwoman and a blonde Portuguese beauty sitting in a small boat, watching the beautiful scenery of the Hao River. The title is --- traveling with the Hao River.

This New Year's picture looks precious, and it is packed with a boxy transparent film, but the picture can still be seen clearly.

Looking at the price of the following elderly painting, it turned out to be: 6888 Hong Kong dollars, almost 6000 yuan.

Although Lin Yi had been prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help but be speechless. It seems that the price of elderly paintings in Macao is even more expensive than in the mainland.

You must know that the collection of New Year's paintings has just emerged in the mainland, and the prices of many famous products are not so outrageous.

According to the classification, generally speaking, only three types of New Year paintings have a relatively high collection value---

The first is ancient New Year paintings. Ancient woodcut New Year paintings are rare and valuable. For example, the price of an old woodblock New Year painting in the early Republic of China, such as "Mouse Marrying a Girl" and "Birthday Star Picture", reached more than 500 yuan, and each piece of the Qing Dynasty could reach 1000 yuan ~ 3000 yuan, and the earlier old paintings have become "comparable to the illustrations of rare embroidered portraits of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China". In the auction market, a Ming Dynasty New Year painting "Birthday Star Picture" was sold for 70,000 yuan at a special auction of Chinese New Year paintings held in Guangzhou Guardian, and another "Three Stars" in the early Qing Dynasty was auctioned for 120,000 yuan.

The second is the famous boutique after the founding of the People's Republic of China. New Year's paintings such as the famous painter Hang Zhiying's "Xi Shi Huansha", Liu Yubin's "Fish Music Picture", and He Youzhi's "Xiao Erhei Marriage" have been favored by collectors in recent years. In terms of price, almost every one of them can be in the hundreds, and the price is still rising.

The third is the Shanghai New Year painting. According to the regional theory, in addition to the Tianjin Yangliu Youth Paintings, in recent years, there are also Shanghai New Year paintings. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House New Year's Painting Creation Group was established, and the New Year's paintings created by the Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House developed rapidly, reaching their peak in the early 60s of the 20th century. "Shanghai New Year Paintings" have strong characteristics of the times, and its pictures are colorful and lifelike, which has research value that cannot be underestimated. Therefore, this kind of New Year's painting collection has also become a hot spot, and now the good condition in the sixties can reach 300 yuan ~ 800 yuan.

Because of this, Lin Yi shook his head after seeing the Macao version of the "elderly paintings" on the wall, the price is ridiculously high, and it is estimated that few people can "eat".

Of course, Macau is a tourist city, maybe the boss deliberately set such a high price, there are always some customers who like to "hunt for curiosity" will stick their heads to be slaughtered, after all, "one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer", this is the transaction.
