Liu Sanbao stopped Lin Yi and Cao Yidao, and then said, "Don't worry, although I am a book seller, I have always been a man of words, and I will not do that kind of tasteless thing." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lao Cao shook his bald head, "I believe this sentence, because even if you really want to be out of taste, buddy will not agree." Things are in hand, and we can go. ”

Liu Sanbao nodded, "That's what I said." But I will not be able to stop you. ”

Cao Yidao: "You have eyesight." ”

Liu Sanbao said again: "Look at your hemp bags and small bags, are you playing with old books?" ”

Lao Cao rolled his eyes, and he was proud: "It's not in vain to praise you for your eyesight, that's right, our brothers are specialized in playing old books, and they are very famous, as for what the name is, I won't say it, for fear of scaring you." ”

After hearing this, Liu Sanbao grinned, "Then there is a batch of 'local goods' that have just been unearthed, do you dare to accept it?" ”

Lao Cao was stunned, and Lin Yi was also stunned. Because the so-called newly unearthed "native goods" are likely to be old things dug up from ancient tombs, which belong to cultural relics, and it is illegal to buy and sell such things.

But curiosity overcomes that sense of guilt, not to mention that in Lin Yi's opinion, it is rare to see this so-called "local goods" today, it is likely to be some rare and ancient books, and if you miss it, you will have no chance. Also, if this kind of rare and ancient books are poured abroad by this person, and it is cheaper for foreigners, it will be even more cheating.

Seeing that Lin Yi and Lao Cao were frightened by their words, Liu Sanbao's heart was full of comfort, and the decadent mood of losing just now was soothed, so he said again: "Don't worry, we don't do illegal things, although these things are dug out of the ground, they are all people with masters, and they don't belong to the kind of digging and stealing, which I can assure you with my character." Is it just in terms of price, a little more expensive, since you specialize in playing with old books, you should know that the real rare books are not the price of thousands of 800 on the booksstand, tens of thousands, millions are common--- the question is, can you afford it? His eyes narrowed his eyes at Lin Yi and them, as if he was weighing and examining their weight.

was underestimated again, this time without waiting for Lin Yi to speak, Lao Cao said like a cannon: "Even if you bring your baby, let alone a million, even if it is tens of millions, we can afford it!" Lao Cao said ruthlessly. After saying this, he hurriedly added, "I mean he can afford it, my friend!" He pointed at Lin Yi.

As soon as Liu Sanbao heard this, sure enough, it seemed that this young man with Si Swenwen was a great talent, and this artillery battle was at most a follower.

So Liu Sanbao grinned, "In this case, why don't you leave your phone number to me first, and I'll contact you here, at most an hour, you can come and see the goods." ”

"What, it's out of stock now?" Lao Cao stared sideways.

Liu Sanbaopi didn't smile: "Brother, if it were you, would you wander around with hundreds of thousands of millions of things?" ”

"This ......" Lao Cao was dumb.

Here, Lin Yi left Lao Cao's phone number, and then said hello to Liu Sanbao again, and then left and continued to search for books.

Behind him, Liu Sanbao took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and then said with a smile on his face: "Eighth master, there is a way, someone wants to see the goods." ”

There was an urn-like voice from the other end: "Are people reliable?" ”

"Absolutely reliable, they are all bookstall characters, and I can see that they are a big deal, so they are involved."

"Well, that's good. Damn, if it weren't for the rush to use the money for the New Year, I wouldn't have asked you to help with this. ”

"Eighth master, what are you talking about, if you are willing to ask me to help, you will give me face."

"You can speak, and your share is indispensable after the thing is done!"

"Thank you, old man!"

……

"Xiao Linzi, did you say that the surname Liu was a big fool? Even said that there are still treasures to sell? Or just play fairy jump and trick the two of us into one place so that we can rob us? Lao Cao muttered in Lin Yi's ear.

Lin Yi said: "You ask me, where do I know." But dare to say such a thing, it is estimated that this boss also has some energy, and then we will see when the time comes. ”

The two of them were talking like this, and they saw a crowd of people in front of them, as if they were all watching something strange and big.

The two of them squeezed over to take a look, and they couldn't help but be curious.

It turns out that this is still a bookshelf, but this bookstall is different from other books, other bookstalls have put the books on the table, and then the boss looks at the books, you pick and choose, pick and bargain, and sell as much as you want.

The bookstall was unattended, but a large pile of old books was neatly placed on the stall, and in front of the stall was a cardboard box that resembled a donation box. The cardboard box is tightly sealed, leaving only a round hole, and I heard the person next to you say, if you like any book, according to the price you can offer, throw money into it, lose as much as you want, and then take the book away.

Immediately, Lao Cao sighed, "What kind of world is this?" It's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is moving too fast. I've only heard of automatic sales of drinks and sex toys before, but I didn't expect that there are also automatic sales of used books. This is advanced, and no one needs to watch the stall. ”

Lin Yi was thinking, wouldn't this be a loss-making transaction. After all, the reason why many people buy old books is that they like that old books are cheap and cheap, and now you let customers set their own prices, and then lose money to pay the bills.

But what stunned Lin Yi and Lao Cao was that after most buyers finished picking up books at the bookstall, not only did they not pay less, but they also took out a few more yuan and threw them into cardboard boxes.

For example, an old man fell in love with a 1980 hardcover edition of "Xinhua Dictionary" published by the Commercial Printing House, and actually paid 30 yuan and threw it into a cardboard box. And this book is only about 15---20 yuan at most.

There is also a lady who looks like a teacher, who fell in love with a set of 1982, published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, paperback "History of the Development of Chinese Literature", this set of monographs belonging to Liu Dajie, but unfortunately the quality is slightly worse, in Lin Yi's opinion, it is only worth 20 yuan at most, and this lady actually threw 40 yuan into the box.

In addition, a young man who was about the same age as Lin Yi also picked up a few books at the bookshelf, but in 1994, published by Zhongzhou Ancient Books Publishing House, Mao Taizu's works, three sets of paperback "Rong Zhai Essays". This set of books is in excellent condition and is worth about 30 yuan, but the young man generously lost 50 yuan in the cardboard box.

At this time, Lin Yi and Lao Cao Ke were confused, could it be that these people don't understand books, how can this be?

But soon, Lin Yi's eyes were attracted by a set of books on this bookstall. As a result, I temporarily forgot about the fact that I had to set my own price when I bought a book.

……

The book that Lin Yi favored was a set of eight books, the Tang people's "Jinling Spring Dream" series.

It is said that this "Tang man" is a writer in Hong Kong, but he is not a professional writer, although he has been writing 10,000 words every day for ten years. He was a journalist by profession, having worked for Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao and New Evening News for 35 years until his death. He has a lot of work, but he has achieved more in writing, first of all, in quantity.

One of his biggest works is "Jinling Spring Dream", all 2.3 million words. It is said that the sequel "Remnant Dream of Grass Mountain" is bigger than it, upside down, with 3.2 million words, but because it has not been completed into a book, it is difficult to say whether the "Spring Dream" is longer or the "Remnant Dream" is longer.

However, it is certain that "Jinling Spring Dream" is much larger, with many readers and great influence. It has a great influence at home and abroad, as well as in Taiwan.

Its largest readership is still on the mainland. For a long time, it was the only Hong Kong book that could be sold on the mainland. And the Tang Dynasty is the only Hong Kong writer known to many people on the mainland, from the south to the north, even though the book was only "internally distributed" for a long time. In Taiwan, of course, books were banned for a long time. In Hong Kong and overseas, of course, it is a bestseller. Because many people don't know so much about Lao Jiang's past, and they don't know the vicissitudes of life of "seeing him raise Zhu Lou, watching him feast guests, and seeing his building collapse", they are particularly interested in such a book. This is a romance novel. First is documentary, and then romance, which inevitably involves artistic processing, exaggeration, and even inevitable fiction in details. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is different from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", isn't that?

Lin Yi likes to read history books, so he read Yao Xueyin's "Li Zicheng", and of course he has also read this set of "Jinling Spring Dream", which also belongs to history.

The set of "Jinling Spring Dream" in front of me is in super good condition, a set of eight copies, which is the version published by Beijing Publishing House.

It is said that the set of books "Jinling Spring Dream" is a common book on many used book stalls, and many people think that this set is worthless, but they don't know that this is an extremely wrong opinion.

There are two editions of this set of books, one is published by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, and the other is published by Beijing Publishing House. These two sets of books are all a set of eight, but the first six books are not valuable, they are all cabbage prices, and one book is only three or five yuan at most, but the seventh and eighth books are not cabbage prices. In particular, the eighth volume of "Da Jiangdong Go", the lowest price of the Beijing version is 30.00 yuan, and the quality is not ordinary, and the Shanghai cultural version is 3 or 400 yuan.

There are many people who think that the Shanghai literary edition is the same as the version of the eighth volume of "Jinling Spring Dream" by Beijing Publishing House, "The Great River Goes East", and they were both revised and published by Mr. Tang Ren in his later years. In fact, the Shanghai Literary Edition and the Beijing Edition are two different books, not only with different authors, but also with different contents.

The author of the eighth episode "The Great River Goes East" unfortunately passed away before he had time to revise it, and Beijing Publishing House completed the project for the author. In this episode, the peaceful liberation of Beiping, the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the triangular relationship between Chiang Kai-shek, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi, the Yangtze River defense line, the uprising of the cruiser Chongqing and the fleet near Nanjing, and the battle of Shanghai are all the handiwork of the "Northern Tang Dynasty". More than three-quarters of the 40 episodes in this episode are newly drafted. There is no such thing as this.

The Shanghai literary edition was continued by Ge Shida and three others, while the Shanghai edition had only 38 episodes, while the Beijing edition had 40 episodes, and the text and content of the reviews were very different. Ge Shida was originally an old subordinate of Chiang Kai-shek, and Lin Yi personally thought that the writing of the sequel to Ge Shida in the Shanghai literary version was not as good as the Beijing version.

However, at this time, Lin Yi was entangled in how much money should be put into this cardboard box after taking this set of books, depending on people's meaning, they all paid according to their own psychological price, so what about themselves?

Lin Yi finally sighed, this person, the most difficult thing to deceive is himself. So Lin Yi immediately took the book, and then threw 400 yuan into the cardboard box.

"Wow!" The people around him were immediately surprised.

Because in their opinion, the set of old books selected by Lin Yi is worth 40 yuan at most, five yuan a piece, and eight books are not 40. But Lin Yi gave ten times the price. How could this not surprise them.

Although Lao Cao plays with old books, he doesn't have a deep understanding of "The Remnant Dream of Jinling", and he doesn't understand why Lin Yi wants to be a "wronged leader" and buy a set of "cabbage books" for 400 yuan.

But the money has already fallen into the pocket, so he can't go back, so he can only wait suspiciously to ask Lin Yi after leaving to see if there is anything greasy in it.

But just when Lin Yi gave the money, took the book, and was about to leave the used bookstall with his companion Cao Yidao, he heard a voice say: "This friend, please stay!" ”

Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder, what's wrong with today, he was called "stay" repeatedly, didn't he let him go after buying the book? !
