Although this is a food stall, you can only eat authentic Beijing snacks in the capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Faced with a table full of delicacies, Lin Yi, who has always been greedy, also let go of his belly and began to eat. During this period, Lao Cao called to ask him where he was and if he wanted to wait for him to (eat).

Lin Yi said, you can eat the whole handful, and eat it yourself. Lao Cao complained, and he didn't say hello when he ate well, and then muttered that we want to eat abalone and shark fin here, and drink Moutai, which means to envy the dead Lin Yi. In this regard, Lin Yi just smiled and said, you can eat as much as you can, drink as much as you can, and leave me alone. On the other end of the phone, I heard Lao Cao shouting in a loud voice: Boss, first open three bottles of your Moutai for me!

Lin Yi has always been very picky about eating, so he doesn't envy Lao Cao and them eating and drinking, but feels that these snacks on the table in front of him are the real food. likes to eat these Beijing snacks, especially the "donkey rolling" is a must, and the "Aiwowo", which are very close to his taste.

The three bigwigs couldn't help but laugh when they saw him so "open" at the dinner table.

Next, Lin Yi chatted with the three bigwigs of Panjiayuan while eating. Of course, almost all the people who get together to talk about the sale of used books and the story of the old book treasure hunt.

The big gold tooth said that his size is in the antique market, and at the beginning he played some antique jade, tile ceramics, and did not understand calligraphy, painting and old books. Later, those antiques were hotly speculated, and I felt that the price was over, so I began to contact the business of ancient books, but I didn't expect that in just ten years, this collection of ancient books was also hot.

In the words of the big gold tooth, playing with ancient books now, it is really a million profits.

Compared with everything in the big gold tooth to look at money, the man is from a rich family, he himself is also keen to read and read, as a child of the Eight Banners, although it is broken, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. As soon as he came into contact with many ancient books, he had experience and experience, and he often knew which books were valuable and which books could be sold at a high price. When you are short of money to spend, you can make some money by picking up one or two sets of ancient books, and you will be short of money for free. At the beginning, he was embarrassed, thinking that reading books and selling books was a bit of a loss of face, but after coming and going, his face was thicker, and he became a high-quality bookseller under the market economy.

Compared with the "professional businessman" of the big gold tooth, the "halfway monk" of the Manchurian adult, the story of the white shopkeeper joining the ancient book industry is much more interesting. Because it was his father who enlightened him to love booksellers, and his father was an out-and-out "tattered king".

According to what the white shopkeeper said, his father is an authentic farmer, walking through the village and alleys to collect rags when the farm is slack, and he is a well-known "tattered king" near and far, with little income, but Lao Bai thinks that his father is the richest.

My father owned a collection of thousands of books, all of which were "scooped" from the rubbish, and the variety of books was one of the best in their village.

The father is kind-hearted, and the child is not bullied, and his cry of "collecting --- and tatters and ---" is rough and powerful. The villagers in all the towns were willing to sell beer bottles, scrap iron and rotten copper, old books and newspapers to their fathers. Every time he received an old book or newspaper, my father regarded it as a treasure, brought it home, carefully selected, carefully repaired, sorted and placed, and set aside a special room for storage. The whole room in the courtyard was full of old books that my father had taken back. Wandering in the meantime is like swimming in the ocean of knowledge.

I once remembered that when he was a child, the white shopkeeper finished reading his first novel "Robinson Crusoe" in his father's old book stack, and he was deeply moved by Robinson's tenacious will and determined to travel around the world when he grew up. When he was in middle school, he read "Journey to the West", "Red Rock", "Lin Hai Xueyuan", "Railway Guerrilla", etc., with the increase in reading, his writing level is also improving, and every time he writes an essay, the teacher will read it in the class.

My father loves to collect books and love to read, and in his spare time, he spends most of his time in the stacks of books, and can be said to be a well-known "intellectual" and "literate person" in the village, so the villagers love to consult his father for advice.

Under the influence of his father, the villagers also often patronized Lao Bai's house to read books. His family became a veritable "reading club". In order to satisfy the reading of the old people in the village, my father also prepared a few magnifying glasses; If they are illiterate or illiterate, their father often reads books and newspapers for them. In case of winter and summer vacations or holidays, the students in the village often ask their fathers to borrow books to read.

In less than a few years, my father's collection of books reached thousands of volumes, and he became a well-known "book king" in the village. Although books are old books, knowledge is not old or new, and knowledge will never go out of style. Once, in the pile of old books that my father recovered, he accidentally found a Qing Dynasty manuscript of "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", which is quite valuable.

However, in the end, the white shopkeeper still went against his father and embarked on the road of selling books, selling basically all the books of his father at home, and then having the capital, he entered the road of selling books more actively.

Speaking of this, the white shopkeeper took a deep breath and said leisurely: "It is not wrong to collect books and do a good job for the elderly to help the people in the village, but for the sake of doing this, so that the family will not have enough food and clothing, this is outrageously wrong." ”

After listening to these words, Lin Yi somewhat knew that this white shopkeeper was also a person with a story.

As the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from.

Although Lin Yi is young, he can be regarded as a big collector in the ancient book industry, after all, there are not many people in their twenties who can reach the level of a seven-grade collector. Through conversation, the three bigwigs deliberately tested Lin Yi for a lot of knowledge in this area, and Lin Yi answered all of them fluently. This can't help but make the three bigwigs look at Lin Yi again, and for Lin Yi to help them become appraisers next, they have greater confidence in Bohai Auction.

……

After eating, looking at the time, it was almost about seven o'clock, the winter capital was dark early, coupled with the cold weather, many people went home early, turned on the heating, or went directly into the bed.

The three bigwigs were old and couldn't stand the cold, unlike Lin Yi, so they hurriedly said goodbye.

Lin Yi, the leader, sent the three of them away, and then called Lao Cao and them. Lao Cao said on the other end of the phone: "Have you finished eating?" Lin Yi said, "I'm done eating." Lao Cao said: "Then hurry up--- the 10,000 yuan is just for dinner, and the real good project is still to come." After speaking, he told Lin Yi where he met.

At this time, the entire capital sky was overcast and cloudy. With the strong north wind, from time to time there are snow-white goose feather snow, drifting in the sky.

Lin Yi finally stopped a taxi and arrived at the meeting place according to the location told by Lao Cao.

I saw Lao Cao and they seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, Lao Cao, Lao Huang, and He Dabao were all oily, full of wine, and they looked like they were full of wine and food.

Seeing Lin Yi get out of the car, Lao Cao beckoned to him, and then said to him, "It's cold to death." I didn't expect this BJ city to be so cold, I really admire how those ancient emperors boiled it out and were able to sit here for hundreds of years. ”

Lin Yi said: "What are you afraid of, people are emperors, and there are no charcoal stoves, quilts, and those concubines to warm their beds in the palace." ”

Lao Cao smiled, "Why did he have someone to warm the bed and not soak in the bathhouse--- so our next stop is to go to the largest bathhouse in the capital to take a look, I heard that many Manchu ministers in the Qing Dynasty, like Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Yuan Shikai have soaked in it." ”

Lin Yi is also a refreshing person, not to mention that the weather is really cold, it is most comfortable to be able to take a hot bath, so he immediately replied: "Okay! BJ's bathhouse is very particular, and in addition to bathing, it is more leisure...... It's rare that you understand this, Lao Cao, but it's so late, I'm afraid those bathhouses have already closed, right? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, although I just arrived, I heard that there is a bathhouse that is open all night, and the skills of the loose bone master in it are first-class!"

"That's good, let's go quickly, BJ is cold, you can take a dip in the bathhouse, that's definitely very exciting!" Lin Yi said happily. (To be continued.) )
