Chapter 241. Comparisons are odious
A sack of more than eighty old books, although it is very heavy for Lin Yi, is very happy, especially to be able to find so many "grid books" at one time, it is also a good luck. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For the fat boss, he was also very happy that his books were sold for 800 yuan at once, because he collected these books from the library and weighed them, and he spent less than 100 yuan in total.
In short, whether it is the fat boss or Lin Yi, they all feel that they are the big winners, they all take advantage of it, and they all get happiness. The fat boss's daughter is also very happy, and the big rice cake in her hand, licked with her tongue, is delicious.
Here, Lin Yi carried a sack on his back and continued to browse other used book stalls, at this time it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, it was the time to catch up with the people at the temple fair, the countrymen, the county people were busy all year round, it was rare to have a temple fair, almost everyone came, looking at it, it was black and pressing, the crowds were crowded, and the number of heads was too many to count.
Lin Yi carried the sack on his back like this, burrowed around the crowd, and when he saw something he liked, he stopped and looked at it for a while.
During this period, a book seller showed him some news pictures, and an old man next to him muttered, "Hey, you took Chairman Mao down." The man was puzzled. Lin Yi explained, it's okay, he thinks you took down the statue of Chairman Mao, and thinks you are disrespectful to Chairman Mao. If this matter had been left in the 60s and 70s of the last century, you would have suffered a great loss, you would have been arrested by the militia or the police, and you would have been sentenced to prison by the Military Control Commission for the crime of viciously attacking and insulting the great leader or for the crime of counter-revolution in the current state struggle. It's okay now, just take it.
After speaking, Lin Yi took the opportunity to browse the old books on the bookstall again, either pirated books, or some fake pictures of the Cultural Revolution period, big-character posters, and a large portrait of the "Great Leader" wearing a green military uniform and waving to the masses. Alas, if you dare to soak the great leader in potion, if it were placed in that era, let alone being imprisoned in a cowshed for labor reform, even if you were sentenced, it was possible.
Leaving this stall, Lin Yi continued to browse other bookstalls, those used bookstalls were basically some ordinary road books, he would change the stall after a few glances at most, so that in just half an hour, he had seen almost half of the hundreds of bookstalls.
……
Just when Lin Yi wanted to go into a bookstall and sweep it again to see if there were any good books to buy, he heard Lao Cao Cao shouting at him not far away: "Lin Yi, Brother Lin, here, I'm here!" Then Lin Yi saw Lao Cao jumping vigorously and beckoning, the iconic big bald head was so dazzling and outstanding in the black head.
Lao Cao seemed to have picked up a lot of good books, carrying a handbag, with a happy face, when he saw Lin Yi coming, he said, "How is it, have you gained anything?" ”
"What about you?" Lin Yi asked rhetorically.
Lao Cao proudly lifted the big bag in his hand, "It's all in one bag, but it's a little miscellaneous." ”
"Let me see." Lin Yi was curious, and he didn't know what treasure Lao Cao had found.
"Just look at it, don't drool!" Lao Cao was very proud.
Lin Yi opened Lao Cao's big bag and looked through it, only to see that there were more than a dozen books in it, which were ---
Zheng Zhenduo's "Xidi Book Words" was published by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles Publishing House in 1983, with two volumes, 1 edition and 1 print, Lao Cao bought it for 10 yuan, and now this set of good quality can be sold for about 200 yuan.
Wang Shixiang's "Cricket Spectrum Integration" 1993, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, photocopied hardcover, Lao Cao 35 yuan Tao, now this good product can be sold for about 930 yuan.
Wang Shixiang's "Chinese Pigeon Whistle" in 2000, published by Liaoning People's Publishing House, Lao Cao 10 yuan to buy, now this good product can be sold for about 280 yuan.
"Sparks in the Plain" 9.10 two volumes, the People's Literature Publishing House version in the 60s, Lao Cao 6 yuan to buy, now a good one can be sold for about 25 yuan.
Chen Shou's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" 5 volumes, published by Zhonghua Book Company Publishing House in 1973, Lao Cao 25 yuan to buy, now this set of good quality can be sold for about 100 yuan.
……
In other words, this time to buy books, Lao Cao only used 86 yuan to find old books worth 1555 yuan, which can be said to be sharp-eyed, worthy of being a veteran of playing old books.
At this moment, Lao Cao's eyebrows are dancing, completely like the face of a "senior" in the book world, he used to follow Lin Yi's buttocks, and he didn't even pick up a fart leak, but now he is up, and he finally ran in front of Lin Yi, and almost finished picking up the leak that should be picked up. At this moment, this kind of mood of letting others have nothing to pick up is so cool and happy, it is like fighting with your first love in bed for 300 rounds, so stubborn and ecstatic.
Of course, his heart was bubbling with joy, and on the surface, Cao Yidao still wanted to "take into account" Lin Yi's mood, so he said: "Alas, children are troublesome, if it weren't for the little girl in your family pestering you, it is estimated that these books would have been picked up by you, and you are not covered by the reputation of the king of leaks, but this time my old Cao is lucky, well, it can be regarded as a small gain." Then he glanced at Lin Yi very pretendedly, hoping to see Lin Yi's face with a look of frustration and regret. But Lao Cao was disappointed, Lin Yi didn't have any expression on his face, and he was very calm.
Is this the time to calm down?
Not to mention the comparison, Wang Shixiang's "Cricket Spectrum Integration" is almost 1,000 yuan missing!
So Lao Cao was a little unhappy in his heart, and asked Lin Yi unconvinced, "Xiao Linzi, I see that you have a sack on your back, have you also found some good books?" ”
Lin Yi smiled very modestly, "It's not a good thing, it's just some foreign masterpieces." ”
As soon as he heard this, Lao Cao became more active, "Famous books are good, educated people like to read famous books, come, let me see what famous books you have found?" Stretching his neck, he shook his big bald head and looked into Lin Yi's sack.
Lin Yi said, "You can watch it casually." ”
Lao Cao couldn't wait to open the sack, and then he saw a sack of "grid books", and he was stunned, because among those grid books, the first one was the hardcover "Selected Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen".
Lao Cao trembled and took out the hardcover book, flipped through it, looked through it carefully, looked at it seriously, and finally looked at Lin Yi with wide eyes and said, "This ...... It's all true? Did you dig for a sack of grid books? ”
Lin Yi nodded, "Yes, it looks like it was knocked down by a library, and the quality is very good, but it's a pity that there is a collection stamp, otherwise it would be able to go to the ninth and fifth grades." Lin Yi said with some regret.
Lao Cao's heart was dripping blood, and he asked cautiously: "Then how much did you spend on this hardcover?" ”
Lin Yi: "Someone sent it." ”
"What?" Cao Yidao's voice became louder, and he looked at Lin Yi incredulously, "Dog, which seller is this, why is he so ignorant of the goods, and he actually sent one or two thousand things casually?" And the subtext in his heart was, why don't you give it to me! I didn't come across it.
"How can this be, the grid of this sack...... Xiao Linzi, where did you buy it from? ”
Lin Yi pointed in the direction, Lao Cao's face wrinkled into bitter gourd, "I swept over from there, how could there be such a big fish that slipped through the net?" ”
Lin Yi shrugged, unable to answer such a profound question.
At this moment, Lao Cao, who was still arrogant just now, directly turned into a frosted eggplant, wilting, until Lin Yi urged him to go to other stalls to have a look, he came to his senses, but he was still thinking in his heart, how could it be, how could it be touched by him, it doesn't make sense, I swept very carefully, and I didn't even let go of an ant......
……
Lin Yi and Lao Cao formed a "Taobao duo" and began to continue to sweep the remaining used book stalls.
Now Lin Yi's vision is very high, basically it is not that he doesn't buy the books he likes, he doesn't buy books that have too much value, and he doesn't even buy some books that he likes but are too thick, not because he is too hypocritical, but because he is too tired and can't memorize so many books.
In contrast, Lao Cao's light car is simple, much more leisurely and chic than Lin Yi. This guy also deliberately grabbed Lin Yi's head and rubbed around, dodging left and right in the crowd, as if showing how vigorous he was, all his actions were hinting at a sentence, less books are good.
Lao Cao jumped fast here, and soon realized that something was wrong, why was there no one behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Lin Yi standing in front of an old book stall, not knowing what he was looking at.
Lao Cao was curious, and said in his heart, could it be that this kid saw any treasure again, no, he wanted to go over and take a look!
So Lao Cao hurriedly turned his horse's head and went to the crowded old book stall to --- (to be continued.) )
