Although Lin Yi likes to buy books and buy old books, he is not a die-hard fan of anyone.
Lin Yitao's principle is very simple, there are only two points: you like it and the price is reasonable.
The three books recommended by Mr. Ouyang in front of him have greatly exceeded the psychological price he wants to buy.
However, seeing that Mr. Ouyang was so enthusiastic, Lin Yi was embarrassed to refuse, and when he was in a dilemma, he heard a customer not far away saying that he wanted to settle the bill. Mr. Ouyang said to Lin Yi, "You think about it first, it doesn't matter if you buy these books or not, I'll come when I go." With that, he turned around and left and went to the cash register. It turned out that because the business area of this shop was not large, Mr. Ouyang and his family had always taken care of it together - if you want to hire people, you will have to pay at least seven or eight thousand a month, but today he happens to be alone, so it is inevitable that he will be a little busy.
As soon as he left like this, he gave Lin Yi a chance to ease.
Looking at the three out-of-print books that cost up to 5,000 yuan, Lin Yi thought about it carefully, and finally came to the conclusion that it was not necessary to buy it.
Yes, these three books are just something to read, and I don't have a hobby of collecting book versions, and I'm not a hardcore Huang Jundong book fan, so there's no reason to spend so much money to buy three such expensive books.
Of course, according to Lin Yi's current financial ability, he can buy it, but many times, people will be hot-headed when they buy books, coupled with the enthusiasm of book sellers, you have to pay for it, and after buying it back, you will regret it.
With this decision, Lin Yi waited for Mr. Ouyang to come back.
……
After a while, after Mr. Ouyang was busy, he turned over, and when he saw Lin Yi, he asked with a smile: "How did Mr. think about it, do you still want these three books?" ”
Lin Yi said very tactfully: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ouyang, the price of these three books is too high, and it has exceeded my psychological price." So...... I'm really embarrassed. ”
Mr. Ouyang is also a smart person, as soon as he heard this, he understood, and he smiled very generously and said: "It's okay, people and books have a fate, maybe you haven't got a fate with them." Let's meet them slowly, they can always meet people who like them......" As he spoke, he re-wrapped the three rare books in plastic bags and filmed them very lovingly, and gently put them back on the bookshelf like children.
When Lin Yi saw this, he felt even more embarrassed. You know, in the past, many bosses were very enthusiastic when they introduced books, and if you didn't want to, he would immediately turn his face. Mr. Ouyang's easy-going attitude moved Lin Yi very much.
At this end, Mr. Ouyang put the book away, turned around, habitually took off his glasses, wiped them, squinted and said to Lin Yi: "Actually, I look at the appearance of you just looking for books, it seems that you are an expert, like you, there are many people who come here to buy books, all to pick up leaks - don't be so embarrassed, I also like to go to the bookstall to pick up leaks, but now that I have opened a store online, there are fewer people who come here to pick up leaks." ”
Lin Yi couldn't help blushing a little when he was told about it, so he laughed at himself: "It seems that I ran for nothing today." ”
"That's not quite true." Mr. Ouyang smiled and said, "If you are interested, go to the second floor of my bookstore to have a look, but there are bookshelves on it, and it is a bit messy...... There are a lot of books in the warehouse I haven't had time to sort out, you look for it, if there is a picture, I will give you all according to 20 yuan, I can't let you run in vain. ”
"How embarrassing is this...... Lin Yi was really embarrassed now, but he couldn't help but glance at the stairs. Before, he guessed whether there was anything good on the second floor, but because of the warning sign prohibiting going upstairs, he had to stop there, and now people allowed themselves to go up to take a look, but he was a little embarrassed.
Mr. Ouyang smiled very casually and said, "It's okay, as long as you don't feel like it, you can stay as long as you want." As he spoke, he put his glasses back on and moved the warning sign to the side with his own hands.
Receiving such courtesy, Lin Yi couldn't help but be honestly afraid, and said in his heart, if he didn't buy a few more books, he would be embarrassed to come down.
……
Probably because of the low floors, the stairs leading to the second floor are steep. So much so that when Lin Yi went upstairs, he felt very struggling.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the second floor, Lin Yi heard a "rustling" sound of sawing wood, and when he took a look, he saw a person with his back to him, stepping on the wooden plank on the bench with one foot, and sawing quickly with a saw in one hand.
The man looked smart in a loose navy blue khaki bag and a casual baseball cap on his head.
Because he was blocking the door, there was a freshly made bookshelf next to him, the bookshelf had not yet been painted, and it exuded a primitive fragrance of wood, Lin Yi couldn't open his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, little brother, please let go." ”
The man didn't speak, leaving Lin Yi with a back, and he was still sawing wood hard.
As a last resort, Lin Yi had no choice but to stretch out his hand, gently patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'm sorry, brother, please let me go." ”
Only then did the man stop what he was doing and turn his head. Before Lin Yi could see what he looked like, he saw him take off the hat on his head and throw out his hair.
He (she) turned out to be a woman!
……
I saw that the girl in front of me had a handsome little ball head, a beautiful bun casually pulled on it, shoulder-length hair, a pair of bright big eyes, a small nose, straight and delicate, and ruddy lips, which looked even more charming and moving.
Lin Yi can be regarded as a person who has seen beautiful women, like Lu Feiyan, Tang Ling, as well as Su Xue and Han Meimei, but compared with the girls in front of them, these women are a little overshadowed-
How so? Lin Yi was a little surprised, and when he looked at the girl again, it seemed that he ...... There seems to be an indescribable aura on her body, if Lu Feiyan is cold, Tang Ling is bewitching, Su Xue is charming, and Han Meimei is delicate, then the girl in front of her is heroic and sassy - yes, maybe only these four words can describe her.
At this moment, the girl looked at Lin Yi with interest, and then said with a smile: "First, I am not a brother, I am a woman; Second, I'm working here, and you're the one who bothered me. Thirdly, it's forbidden to come up here, don't you know? ”
When Lin Yi saw her smiling, her willow eyebrows were like the moon, and the pear vortex on her cheeks was looming, and there was a trace of indescribable delicate beauty, and she was stunned for a while.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you stunned?" The girl was very dissatisfied with Lin Yi's stunned attitude.
Lin Yi suddenly woke up, and said secretly, ashamed, it was not that he had never seen a woman, so he coughed and explained: "It was Mr. Ouyang who asked me to come up, he said that there are some books here, let me read them casually." ”
"Really?" The girl's face was stiff, and she seemed a little suspicious.
At this moment, Mr. Ouyang happened to come up with coffee, and said with a smile: "Yes, he is right, I asked him to come up and have a look...... Didn't bother you with work, did you? But it was to the girl.
The girl's pretty face melted instantly, and she smiled and said, "Of course not, I'm just afraid that he will come up privately." Then he glanced at Lin Yi again and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now." "The smile is so beautiful.
Lin Yi felt that he was about to wander again, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, that I...... Can I go in first? ”
Only then did the girl realize that she was still blocked in the doorway, and playfully spit out her little tender tongue, moved to the side, and gave up a place at the door.
Lin Yi dodged in like a thief.
Mr. Ouyang also entered the house, handed the coffee to the girl and said, "Thank you for your hard work, if you weren't here, I'm afraid I'd have to ask someone else for help." ”
The girl said boldly: "It's a trivial matter, it just so happens that I have time these days, otherwise I won't be able to help you......" After speaking, she glanced at the surrounding houses again, and said: "This room is a little irregular, and the walls are uneven, especially the height of the corners is different, and the bookshelves need to be specially built." ”
"yes, you're right." Mr. Ouyang said, "I have seen many people in this room, and the bookshelves in the furniture store are not suitable, either too big, too small, or not high enough, and must be built by special carpentry, thanks to you." ”
……
Lin Yi saw that they had a cordial conversation, and at first they used Mandarin, but gradually they spoke faster and faster, and then changed to Cantonese.
Lin Yi can't understand Cantonese, and when he comes to Hong Kong to talk to people, he has always been a chicken and a duck, and he is even more embarrassed to interject at this time, although it is strange for girls to be carpenters, but they can only hide in their stomachs.
Ignoring what the girl said to Boss Ouyang, Lin Yi looked around, and sure enough, in the lower corner of a wall, there were a large pile of old books. The old books were covered with newspapers, but they were piled up so high that most of them were exposed, and from a distance, they looked like a small mountain.
Lin Yi was happy when he saw the hunt, and he didn't care about greeting Mr. Ouyang, so he went straight to the pile of books to pick up.
Compared with the old books in good condition on the bookshelves downstairs, these books taste at most eight or five grades, and they are stacked together very messily, and they have not been carefully sorted out at first glance.
But Lin Yi didn't care about this, what he cared about was whether there were any books he wanted.
Looking at it widely, most of these books are some Hong Kong editions of financial, legal, and medical books.
Come to think of it, it seems that doctors, lawyers, and economists are very popular in Hong Kong, so it is not surprising that there are many such books. But for Lin Yi, he was a little disappointed, there was no literature and history of his taste, even if there were more old books, what was the use.
Just when Lin Yi was very disappointed and regretted coming up to the second floor, squatting so much that his feet and legs hurt, and his hands were all dust, but he didn't find anything, his hand stretched under the pile of old books actually touched a hard, as if it was a hardcover old book.
Lin Yi subconsciously picked it up, and when he saw it, he was immediately shocked, and couldn't help blurting out: "How is it possible?" (To be continued.) )
