Chapter 546. Taobao Huguo Temple

For the next few days, the snow was still falling, and it seemed to be non-stop. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Yi braved the snow to visit the Forbidden City, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish. Next, Lin Yi visited the Great Hall of the People, the Monument to Heroes and other places. I thought that the snow would be bigger, and there would be fewer people, but I didn't expect that there were so many people, many people brought cameras to shoot rare snow scenes, and even some foreigners were happy to enjoy it.

After playing for three days in a row, the heavy snow stopped.

Lin Yi took a breath, there was no news from Ma Wu's side, but He Dabao told him that there was a temple fair in Huguo Temple today, and there were many people who bought and sold antiques and old books, and asked him if he wanted to take a look.

Of course, Lin Yi would not let go of such a good opportunity, and drove to Huguo Temple that morning.

After getting out of the car, Lin Yi, Lao Cao, and Lao Huang, under the leadership of He Dabao, went straight to the place where the temple fair was held in Huguo Temple.

When I arrived at the location, I found that it was already crowded with people. Those who do small business, jugglers, and those who travel to temple fairs are all crowded here.

Speaking of which, this temple will have a long history, I heard that there was a Qing Dynasty, and it was more lively than now.

Not far away, it was crowded with people, adults and children, playing a game of turntable. At the turntable, vendors put out various prizes, such as Ultraman toys, pens, notebooks, and so on. A disc is hung on the wooden stake, which can be turned with a dial, and a pointer is set on it, and a grid is drawn on the plate, and the name of the prize is marked on each grid. Two dollars to dial a turntable, after stopping, the pointer points to which line to get the marked prize. If the roulette wheel stops, the pointer is pointing outside the line, then there is no prize, only two balloons are symbolically given, which means that there is no empty-handed return.

If you look at the side, you are playing a ring game. There are all kinds of toys in the field, there are big cars in the distance, Transformers, white rabbits in cages, birds in cages, etc., everything is very generous, and there are all kinds of rough glass products and gypsum products in the distance......

Ten yuan is generally given for five rings, and the customer takes the ring and puts it on a meter away from the field. Those circles are either made of bamboo or plastic, and they are very elastic, and they are often folded back when they are put on, which is often out of reach.

The most immoral is to engage in pinball, and some hawkers who play tricks are dedicated to deceiving children. They nail a small cabinet with a wooden board, the back is double-layered, into a slope, there are blocking nails inside, the glass ball can be bounced into from the top, let it slide down, and a number of grids are set up below, each grid is set up with different prizes, such as: electric cars, remote control planes, some are directly cash, 50 yuan, 100 yuan, the temptation is very great. The other three squares are empty, and falling in does not count. Whoever plays this little game falls into the space almost 100 percent.

At this time, there are accomplices of pretending to be tourists, who come here to play with glass balls, and for every five balls bounced, three balls win the big lottery to lure customers to be deceived again.

Squeezing through the crowd of people playing games, Lin Yi struggled to the front. During the march, he glanced at the nearby stalls, in addition to selling snacks and souvenirs, the most is to sell some antique literary toys --- cigarette bottles, cigarette pouch mouths, hats, imitation of Ming Xuande blue and white bowls, etc., the array is dazzling, beautiful. In particular, the calligraphy and paintings of Yunlinzhai are matched with these literary games, which is particularly elegant. In addition, the Beijing silk fans of Defeng Zhai and Bing Yu Zhai are fine in workmanship and have been favored by tourists.

Lin Yi's mind is not on this antique, he has heard that this Huguo Temple has ancient and modern Chinese and foreign books, calligraphy, rubbings, sometimes the market can not buy "unique books", "rare books", here can sometimes be encountered, and the price is not too high. Therefore, it also attracted some literati and ink writers.

However, when Lin Yi arrived at those used book stalls, he found that he was still one step late, only to see that the used book stalls were already crowded with people, crowded with people, and they were all scrambling to "Taobao".

Although the weather is cold in winter, it still can't resist everyone's enthusiasm; What's more, everyone held back for three days, and the enthusiasm for buying books and picking up treasures was even higher.

In fact, the "treasure hunting" of used book stalls is always insatiable for book hunters, and the same is true for Lin Yi. Whenever he collects a favorite book, he forgets the world, forgets the living space and things, and has a long-term relationship with the used book stall, running to the used book stall to find his favorite books, and the desire to buy books exceeds all other hobbies.

At this moment, the bookstalls were full of people, and many book hunters were scrambling to look through the books placed by the stall owners, lest they miss the rare books. Nowadays, Huguo Temple is looking for books, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities to pick up leaks.

As usual, in a place like this, there is no need for everyone to get together again. Lao Huang, Lao Cao, and He Dabao scattered, and Lin Yi squeezed directly towards the bookshelf.

After a lot of effort, Lin Yi finally squeezed in, only to see that the good books on this bookstall had almost been picked out, Lin Yi saw an old man with small legs and feet holding a few copies of "People's Pictorial", looking at the cover, it was obviously from the Cultural Revolution period. There is also a big brother who chose a set of "Mao-Zedong Anthology" with a cover on the large format, looking at the version, it should be from the fifties and sixties. There is also a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who is holding a thick foreign book and is paying, it seems that the foreign book is also some years old, and the binding is very beautiful.

As soon as Lin Yi saw this scene, he knew that he probably couldn't find good things, and just as he was about to leave the stall, he suddenly saw an old book similar to a notebook, so he took it and looked at it.

At a glance, it turned out to be the "Lu Xun Memorial Collection" of Beixin Book Company, the cover is the posthumous portrait of Mr. Lu Xun, the publication time is December 30, 1936, that is, only two months after Mr. Lu Xun's death, this is also the first Mr. Lu Xun Memorial Collection. But the strange thing is that this "Lu Xun Memorial Collection" is hardcover, and I have the impression that it seems to be a paperback, and the price of the paperback is about four or five hundred.

Lin Yi flipped through it carefully, it turned out to be a paperback to a hardcover, the remodeler was the National Tsinghua University Library, with the seal in the book and the library paper bag as evidence, because it was changed to a hardcover, the inner pages were in excellent condition, only the first few pages were torn.

Such a good book can't help but make people a little excited, Lin Yi guessed that it might be because it looks like a diary, so it was missed by those book seekers.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi was secretly happy, but he still had to pretend that nothing happened, and when he asked the price, the stall owner offered a price of 150 yuan, which made his heart settle, but he still symbolically returned the price.

The stall owner looked innocent: "This is the book of the Republic of China!" The price I opened is still cheap, and I sold 200 of the cultural revolution pictorial just now! He was referring to the copies of the People's Pictorial that had just been bought by the old man.

It turned out that the stall owner regarded "Lu Xun Memorial Collection" as just an ordinary book of the Republic of China, so the final transaction price was very low, which made people secretly happy in their hearts.

finally found a decent book of the Republic of China, but Lin Yi was still thinking in his heart, how could the collection of books from Tsinghua University flow to the used bookstall of Huguo Temple?

Searching for old books is such a wonderful process, and some of the stories hidden behind old books are waiting for book lovers to dig out.

……

Leaving this used book stall, Lin Yi continued to wander. It's a peculiar little bookstall with not many books. The eldest brother who sells books is in his 40s, wears gold wire glasses, and looks like a scholar, but he bluntly says that he doesn't like to read very much.

The books he sells are mainly literary masterpieces, regardless of whether they are thin or thick, and the price is uniform: 10 yuan per copy.

Look at the books again, "The Red and the Black", "The Decameron", "Notre Dame" ...... Cover it in a plastic packaging bag, and the condition is acceptable. He said that they are all his own collections, and they are treasures that are helpless to sell, "if you don't sell them at a counteroffer, it doesn't matter."

It's rare for this brother to have such a character, but it's a pity that Lin Yi has read all these books, but he likes the quality of these books, so he picked three books at random, 30 yuan, and had fun.

After walking a few more steps, Lin Yi soon saw a place selling old propaganda posters, which were colorful and eye-catching.

Walking over and taking a closer look, most of them are 70 years of Cultural Revolution model plays. These posters are now scarce and have become treasures for many collectors. So the price is much higher.

Lin Yi just looked at it, but didn't take the initiative to ask the price, and the boss saw that he seemed to be knowledgeable, so he said, "These are red collections, how about it, are you interested?" ”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I don't hide these--- are there any others?" ”

The boss smiled, "Yes, yes, it's a little more expensive--- meaning is a little ambiguous.

Lin Yi also smiled, "Let's take a look at the goods first." ”

"Hey, then you can see!" The boss smiled mysteriously. (To be continued.) )
