Chapter II. A wisp of bookish fragrance wafted in
"What does it smell like? Bananas, pineapples, cantaloupe? No, it's the taste of peaches. A peach tree appeared in front of Lin Yi's eyes, where the two watery peaches were hanging, their color was red, and he couldn't help but reach out to grab it.
Well, how is it soft, is it ripe?
"Smack!" A crisp slap directly woke up Lin Yi, who was immersed in a dream.
Lin Yi opened his eyes, only to find that he was still in front of the antique stall, lying on the ground to be precise, with a charming and charming face in front of him, with shyness and annoyance in his eyes, looking at him.
Next to him, the fat man looked at himself with a black face, and his eyes were full of fire.
The stall owner, Li Lao, and the others were even more strange-looking, as if they had just seen something strange.
"Little brother, you are really good, pretending to faint to take advantage of this beauty...... High, really high! Li Mouse gave a thumbs up and bared his big teeth.
Lin Yi: "......"
The people next to him showed a burst of evil laughter, they could see clearly just now, this beauty pinched people to help this fainted guy, I didn't expect this guy to be dishonest, he actually reached out and grabbed the beauty's chest, amazing, the young people are really fierce now, and even their husbands dare to take advantage of them.
Lin Yi understood, and was just about to say "I'm sorry", when the fat man grabbed the woman and said angrily: "Don't leave yet, haven't you lost enough shame?" "Lined up the crowd and rushed away.
Seeing this, Li Mouse said secretly, the dog said, I want to throw the mess to me, no way.
Now that Lin Yi is awake, although Li Mouse preemptively said that he was pretending to be dizzy, in order to take advantage of the beauty, but the discerning person knew at a glance that it was related to the snuffbox just now. Now I look at it, it's okay, but who knows if there are any sequelae, what if there are three long and two short.
The fat man also knows this, so he endured the anger of his wife being rubbed with oil and hurriedly left the scene.
Li Mouse is also a character who has become a fine character in the rivers and lakes, and when he saw this, he preemptively shouted: "Little brother, since you are fine, forget it, but my snuffbox was broken by you, what do you say?" ”
Lin Yi's head was still a little drowsy, he didn't understand what happened to him just now, he only felt a little uncomfortable in his body, especially his nose was sore, very uncomfortable, and then he saw that the snuffbox on the ground was indeed broken, so he said a little sneeringly: "I'm sorry, boss, I smelled your snuffbox just now, and then I ......."
"Don't tell me this, who wouldn't find a reason! The problem is that our buyers and sellers rely on selling goods to eat, and now such an expensive snuff bottle is brittle by you, what do you say? Li Mouse crossed his waist and raised his eyebrows, looking vicious.
Lin Yi scratched his head, but felt that his nose was getting more and more sour, and sour tears flowed out again, his steps were vain, and he seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet.
Li Mouse, who was originally vicious and wanted to ask for an explanation, and knocked out a lot of money to lose money, saw him like this, and was afraid, so he said: "Okay, count me unlucky, I don't care about you - you go!" "It's extraordinarily generous.
"Oh." Lin Yi scratched his head again and left the stall.
Li Lao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, maybe something big happened to this kid, fainted or something, and came back a few times, if it didn't work, it would be on me, and it would be better to go first with the thirty-six strategies. So he pretended to be unlucky and sighed, "This business can't be done, it's really eight lifetimes of blood mold - it's better to roll up the cover and go back to sleep." "Packing the stall with numb hands and feet,
Not far away, Lin Yi looked at Li Mouse who was about to pack and sneak away, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, it was true that his nose was sour just now, but he made it because his feet were floating and unstable, but he didn't think that this trick really scared Li Mouse away.
Touching the 20 yuan in his pocket, Lin Yi sighed again, if he hadn't been unemployed recently, he only had this amount of money in his pocket, and he wouldn't be so pretentious, after all, it was still an antique-level gadget if he broke other people's things......
Lin Yi is not from Nandu, he is from the county seat, he is twenty-three years old this year, just three years after graduating from high school, and when he was admitted to university, he was honored because he was strict in science, good in Chinese, and too bad in mathematics and English. The economic conditions at home were not good, and he didn't have the heart to retake the exam, so he came here from the county seat to look for a job. But now it's not easy to find a job, people are superfluous, and even many college students can't find a suitable job, let alone a high school graduate. Education, experience, background, interpersonal relationships, he didn't have the same, and the result could only be to serve dishes to others as a security guard, either working in a hotel or working as a waiter in KTV, just like this, three years have passed.
Three years can sharpen a person, although Lin Yi is young, he has already seen all the eyes of the world, especially when he is engaged in low-level work, he has more contact with people and things, and he understands the meaning of "class" and "rank" better.
From the class level, Lin Yi felt that the stall owner Li Mouse and himself belonged to the same level, both were poor and white proletariats, it was not easy to do business, he was afraid of being arrested if he sold fakes, and he couldn't make money selling real goods...... In conclusion, it is not easy for people like them to make money.
If he had money, Lin Yi would definitely compensate for that snuffbox, whether it was because of his own fault or not.
Unfortunately, he has no money.
With a sigh, Lin Yi habitually walked towards the used bookstall he was familiar with, and he was able to seize the time to rub a few books to read, which was a great happiness for him who had no copper in his pocket.
……
There are about seven or eight stalls in the used book market of Caishen Temple, but there are four stalls that are often set up here, and they are known as the "four kings" of the used book market.
The first named Liu Qingyuan, in the early years of playing stamp assets of millions, and then learned to speculate on stocks, bankrupt overnight, helplessly set up a stall to sell old books, often bring the liquor filled with mineral water to the Temple of Wealth to set up a stall (the Temple of Wealth prohibits alcohol), from time to time to sip two, when the head is dizzy, when the sober is less, as long as three or two drinks go down to be dizzy, and then talk about their own assets of millions of scenery history, nicknamed "Liu Sanliang".
Liu Sanliang sells books very interestingly, he never looks at the quality, thickness and content of the book, only reads the age of the book, the era is becoming more and more valuable, like what kind of thread-bound books, the red literature of the Republic of China period, are all valued by him as a good book such as "boom".
The second book seller is called Wang Yongsheng, nicknamed "Wang Heizi", people are black and black, good books dare to ask you for a sky-high price, and selling books is also very shrewd, often do not like to put the books in order, but pile up together, let people pick up by themselves, give people a kind of pile of books Taobao **, occasionally from a large pile of books under the turn out of one or two of their favorites, the book buyer will like it very much, thinking that he picked up the leak, but he didn't know that these things were deliberately piled up in the ground by Wang Heizi, the top is all rags, and the bottom is a good thing, this is exactly," Although it is hard to find thousands of waters, the sand is blown away and the gold is reached". In this way, those who read will be more active in patronizing his bookstall to find treasures.
The third name is Dong Jianming, nicknamed "Dong Glasses", unkempt, often sloppy, selling books are more special, like to sell some qigong books and books, these books he reads while selling, often reclining in front of the bookstall posture, pillow arms, take the book and compare and study. He only sells books to read the content, as long as it is qigong, it is very expensive.
The last "Heavenly King" is not a man, but a female bookseller, whose name is He Ying, who is not very beautiful but coquettish enough, and is a famous "He Xiangu" in the book market.
The code of conduct of "He Xiangu" made the other three heavenly kings salivate, but unfortunately the three of them were a "wine dizzy", one was a "black bark", and one was a "sloppy ghost", He Xiangu couldn't see it at all, but on the surface, He Xiangu was still very face-saving, just said "rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest", but they didn't know that the three guys would rather be "dog tail grass" than do "nest grass".
He Xiangu's books are some children's books or "Reader", "Special Attention" and other magazines, she herself has learned ink painting, and occasionally will sell her own paintings of flowers and birds, a painting of four or five hundred, sellers flock to it, of course, after buying the painting, you will be very humble to ask for advice, go to the hotel to find a room to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the painting.
In addition to these four relatively large bookstalls, Lin Yi also likes to wander around other small bookstalls, but he is still familiar with these four, although he often rubs books to read, but he is polite to people, and he is handsome and handsome, but he is not disliked, so when he saw him coming over again, the four of them took the initiative to greet him.
Lin Yi squatted in front of Dong Glasses' bookshelf, not because he liked the qigong books on the stall, but because he felt that his nose seemed to be wrong.
At first, his nose was only sour, but now, as if something had opened all the passages of his nose, countless smells swarmed in, and his sense of smell became extremely sensitive, no, a hundred times more sensitive than usual, and he could smell all the smells of the entire Temple of Wealth, the smell of sweat, the smell of feet, the smell of perfume, the smell of sandalwood, and even the smell of flowers and plants planted in the courtyard.
Lin Yi was short of breath, his face was flushed, and his suddenly expanded sense of smell made him feel like he had fallen into an evil spirit, and he was very uncomfortable.
How so? Could it be just now?
Lin Yi's face was cloudy, and he seemed to understand something.
Dong Glasses, who was reading "The Decree of Life" in the posture of a reclining Buddha, heard that he was short of breath, so he squinted at him, "What's wrong, it's uncomfortable?" ”
"Oh, it's fine, it's just a little ...... in the nose Some are sour. Lin Yi rubbed his nose.
"If you have a cold, I will let you follow me to learn two tricks, there are many treatments and prevention of colds in qigong, such as this trick of acupressure ...... 100 shots" Dong Glasses opened the conversation box and sprayed his understanding of qigong.
Lin Yi didn't have the heart to listen to this, he rubbed his nose vigorously, his head was dizzy, and his sense of smell was restored a lot, as if it was a dream just now, but at this moment, a wisp of book fragrance wafted from the bookstall of Dong glasses to his nostrils.
This fragrance is very thin and light, if there is nothing, following this wisp of book fragrance Lin Yi looked towards the bookstall, but saw that on the side of Dong Glasses' bookstall, there was a set of brand-new comic books, looking at the name, it turned out to be "The Saint Seiya of the Goddess".
Although Lin Yi is only twenty-three years old, he is also familiar with this set of books, the famous Japanese comic book, adapted into the cartoon is "Saint Seiya", and the "Pegasus Meteor Fist" and "Lushan Shenglongba" in the book are even more popular.
But...... How could this set of books have such a quirky bookish smell?
Lin Yi likes to read, and when he was a child, he liked to turn the pages and smell the smell of new textbooks every time he went to school, so he was very familiar with this kind of bookishness, but this set of comic books is like the fragrance of oranges peeling off.
