Chapter 335. "Notes on the Timing of the General Examination"
When Lin Yi rushed over, he saw that the bookstall was already full of people, and the bookseller was wearing a thick gold necklace around his neck and a string of beads on his wrist. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The booksellers in Jinling are really different from those in small places." Lin Yi was secretly surprised.
I saw that the stall owner took the sack, and like the pond owner feeding the fish, he shook off the sack and poured it into the stall casually, and immediately, those bookworms and bookworms pounced on it, like a fish frantically grabbing fish food.
Looking at those unfathomable book hunters, they didn't move one by one, and they didn't seem to take this sack of old books to heart at all.
Lin Yi couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that they were still waiting for an opportunity? What could be better for this stall owner?
At this moment, those bookworms are already in their arms, holding them in their hands, and they are almost in their mouths, Lin Yi looks, they are all big road goods, what Shanghai ancient books "Three Hundred New Translations of Tang Poems", People's Publishing House's "Three Hundred Song Poems Appreciation", and Zhongzhou Ancient Books Publishing House's 1992 "Selected Yuan Poems" and so on, these books are at most five or six yuan a piece on the stall, with a large print run, and it is okay to see, but there is no collection value.
As for the books that those bookworms are grabbing, the grade is a little higher, and one of them grabbed a copy of Shaanxi Publishing House's "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei Commentary", hardcover, red cover, which looks very good; The other grabbed a hardcover copy of the 1982 Agricultural Publishing House's hardcover "Qi Min Yao Shu Proofreading", and Lin Yi has a copy in his possession, which is now worth about 80 yuan.
Those profound book hunters are still watching the excitement, and Lin Yi also looks at the gang of bookworms and bookworms who are crazy to grab those old books, and stay out of the matter, but there is a condescending feeling, the previous self, isn't it like this?
The stall owner poured three sacks of old books in a row, and then shouted, "The old customers have come here to take a look, and there are not many good goods brought this time, and you are not satisfied." ”
Sure enough, there was something else.
I saw the stall owner take out a thick cardboard box from the tricycle, and then gently opened it as if the baby was taking out a stack of old books wrapped in a transparent plastic bag.
Lin Yi's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that there was a set of four-volume hardcover books, and the name turned out to be "Proofreading for the Timing Examination"!
Lin Yi can be said to be very impressed by this set of books, because he had read it in "Notes on Taoshu".
The Agricultural Publishing House has a full 4 hardcover volumes, 512 illustrations, and only 600-800 sets are printed.
Volume 1, 1991, printed in one edition, with a print run of 815 copies;
Volume 2, 1992, printed in 1992, with a print run of 620 copies;
Volume 3, 1993, 1 edition and 1 printing, 600 copies;
Volume 4, 1995, 800 copies;
This set of books was originally only a dozen yuan, but now the market price of the whole set is as high as 1,200 yuan, and the good quality is even more than 1,500---1,800 yuan, and it is difficult to encounter.
Lin Yi likes this set of books, because there are a lot of ancient and modern agricultural illustrations in the book, which is very interesting for Lin Yi, who was born as a "farmer", like what "columb", "stone plow", "flail", etc., these farming tools that condense the wisdom of ancient farmers are now gone, and if you want to see it, you probably have to go to the museum.
Seeing the book he liked, Lin Yi couldn't wait to come over, and reached out to take the book in his hand, at this moment, there was a "click", and a fan was thrown over, which happened to be dropped on the set of books, and then he heard a voice say: "Do you understand the rules?" Alien, right?! The boss is taking it out and letting us go through it first, why are you in a hurry! ”
Lin Yi was reprimanded, but he was not annoyed, and when he turned around, he saw that three people were looking up and down at him, so he smiled and said to one of them: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be friends with the boss, so you look at it first, if you are offended, please bear with me." After saying that, he hugged his fist at the man.
The man was a white-skinned middle-aged man, with a slight baldness on the top of his head, and he was originally very unhappy with Lin Yi's virtue of stealing books privately, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to be so good at talking, but he was stunned for a moment.
It was still the stall owner who was slippery, and said busily: "Whether the big guy knows each other or not, whether he is a friend or not, it is fate to be able to get together...... My book, it also depends on fate, if you find the right person, it's yours, if you don't find it, you have to hold it in my hands! A few of you will look at it first, if you can't see it after reading it, let this little brother take a look, I saw that he fell in love with this set of books at a glance, and he is also a master of knowledge......"
Seeing that the stall owner praised Lin Yi for his eyesight, the white-skinned man snorted and said, "Lao Ding, you are not authentic." When I see people talking about people and talking nonsense, I really think I don't know what kind of flowers and intestines you have in your heart, don't you want to sell them for more money; Look at what you wear around your neck and on your hands, not all of them are contributed to you by our group of book friends. ”
When the stall owner Lao Ding heard this, he was anxious, "What do you say, what do you mean by contributing, it's not that you took a fancy to my book and paid for it...... We don't steal, we don't rob, we don't cheat, what did I take advantage of you? ”
Although this old man is slippery, he is also a temperamental person, and if he is an ordinary bookseller, it is estimated that he laughed "hehe" twice, and passed it after a haha, but he argued.
Seeing that the two were arguing, the two companions of the white-faced man next to him persuaded, "You two don't argue, is it interesting to argue?" I've been a guy for so long, and I'm still arguing about this--- hurry up, let's not buy it, people are still waiting." After speaking, he glanced at Lin Yi very dissatisfied, as if it was Lin Yi who caused trouble.
Lin Yiguaner, the people who buy and sell books in this Confucius Temple are quite interesting, all of them are at the level of uncles, and they are really people raised by the "Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties", which is extraordinary.
Seeing that someone persuaded him, the white-faced man took a posture, half-squatted down, picked up his folding fan, looked through the old books packaged in transparent plastic bags, and nagged at the old man: "It's not me who brags, in this Confucius Temple, except for our brothers, no one can afford to buy your old books, if we don't visit you a few times a week, you say, who do you sell these books to?" ”
After all, Lao Ding is a businessman, his mind turns quickly, and he feels that there is no benefit in arguing with this kind of old customer, so he keeps silent, and just keeps taking out some treasured good books and showing them to these old buyers.
In fact, this white skin is right about one thing, that is, these expensive books are not affordable by ordinary people, and the reason why Lao Ding can wear gold and silver is also earned by selling these good books.
Not to mention anything else, just this white skin, it costs about 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to buy books every year, most of which are bought here by Lao Ding, and those two buddies also spend the most money here.
"This set of books is in good condition, what price are you going to sell?" Bai Mianpi asked the stall owner Lao Ding in a tone of voice.
Lao Ding's eyes rolled, "You are an expert in this area, you can make a price--- they are all good books, and the print run is small, I checked it on the Internet, and the prices on it are not low!" ”
"Don't tell me the price on the Internet--- the price on the Internet is all false, one hundred he can ask you for three hundred, one thousand he dares to ask you for ten thousand, just your book, I will give you five hundred yuan is enough!" White Skinned said generously.
Lao Ding shook his brain like a rattle, and said with a bitter face: "You are a regular customer and an expert in playing books, and the price offered is too low, there are thousands on the Internet, you directly cut off half of the ......"
Lao Ding's words can't help but remind Lin Yi of his old friend "Cao Yidao", Lao Cao's nickname also comes from this, no matter whether the business is good or bad, he directly cut the price by half, and then said, often making those sellers angry.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi "poofed" and couldn't help laughing.
When he smiled like this, he suddenly felt bad, only to see Bai Mianpi, Lao Ding and others all looking over, looking straight at him with straight eyes, and their eyes were very wrong.
Only then did Lin Yi know that people were bargaining, but he was laughing at himself, which could easily cause misunderstanding.
Lin Yi was just about to open his mouth to explain, but the white-faced skin who had long been dissatisfied with him glared at him and asked him in an unhappy tone: "What are you laughing at?" Is it that funny if I offer 500? If you don't pay a high price, this book will be given to you! (To be continued.) )
