Seeing that people were rushing at this used book stall, Lin Yi was a lot more gentle, standing aside, others held it in his arms and didn't want it, and threw it on the ground, so he picked it up and looked at it a few times. www.biquge.info I saw that most of those old books were "big road goods" in the collection, such as Mr. Fan Wenlan's "General History of China" and Mr. Guo Moruo's "Guo Moruo's Anthology", and the most common is the upper and lower volumes of the people's literature edition of the 80s of the last century. Hugged in his arms by the old man with superb book hunting skills--- it seems that he is not just an old book like health and wellness.

Although the female owner of this stall shouted "two yuan" a copy of all the books in the library, some of the books placed at her heels were not. Those are the more precious ones, and probably all kinds of picture albums, magazines, comic strips, and all kinds of old stamps, old envelopes, and old postcards before the Cultural Revolution. Occasionally, there are Hong Tongtong's "Quotations of Chairman Mao" and Chairman Mao's portrait medal, which may be the most special and the most eye-catching.

Needless to say, the "two yuan" of the female stall owner is just a gimmick, and the main thing she sells is these "treasures".

Lin Yi was not very interested in these things, mainly because the female stall owner asked for too high a price and wanted to eat a full book. How is that possible? As a well-known god of leakage, Lin Yicai would not spend too much money in vain, so he just asked two sentences and gave up.

Looking at a stall next to him, Lin Yi was interested this time, because the stall owner didn't sell many books, but they were all fine products and treasures. If you look closely, there are still some rare albums published during the Republic of China, which are also old books that ordinary people dare not care about. For example, there are Keluo edition of the fine print "Da Dizi Landscape Book", "Couplen Xiang Pavilion Sketchbook" and so on, the price is generally above 1,000 yuan; The most famous of the Forbidden City at that time, the eight-page "Palace Museum Series" was less than 100 pages, although it was scattered and visible, and one volume was between 1500 ---1800 yuan.

These books are Lin Yi's favorite, and they all say that the books in the Panjiayuan ghost market are cheap, but the prices demanded by these bookstall owners are not low. couldn't bear the love for these albums, Lin Yi finally bargained with the boss and bought these three books for 3,000 yuan, and the boss said loudly that he would give you a discount of 1,000 yuan, so that Lin Yi could continue to patronize his ghost market bookstall next time. Lin Yixin said, it's not easy to come once, let alone where to find you in the dark.

With three albums, Lin Yi felt a lot more at ease, it seems that the sellers in this ghost market are very good, and it is too difficult to pick up leaks in their hands. Also, with the popularity of the Internet, the selling price of this kind of old book is almost transparent, unlike three years ago when Lin Yi first entered the industry, many stall owners did not know that the price was linked to the Internet, which gave many book hunters the opportunity to pick up the leaks. But nowadays, everyone has a mobile phone to access the Internet, and the first time they encounter a good book is the poor price of the Internet, so some good books are even more expensive than those sold online.

Before coming to the ghost market in Panjiayuan, Lin Yi was full of fantasies about picking up leaks in the ghost market, but now, he has to face reality.

With the ghostly lights, Lin Yi looked at the other bookstalls again. If the books I read before were relatively expensive, then the next ones are some very cheap old books. Many of them are popular magazines this year, such as "Reader", "Reading", "Fashion", as well as calligraphy and painting related to "Chinese Calligraphy", "Collection", "Chinese Seal Carving" and so on. For some special readers, the Sanlian Life Weekly, which is worth collecting, and the City Pictorial, China's most urban magazine, can often be bought for one yuan; If you buy a lot at once, you can do it for a few cents. It depends on the bargaining level of the book hunters.

Lin Yi was even less interested in these magazines and the like, so he just looked at them, and then turned to the calligraphy and painting stalls, some of which were still very beautiful, not much different from real Russian oil paintings. Of course, Lin Yi knows how to paint, and in terms of color and picture, it is very cheap to compare with the price of oil paintings in the home market. Of course it's not true, there is really a customs certificate, there is a painter's authorization letter, and a real Russian oil painting costs at least a few thousand yuan. The good ones are tens of thousands, especially the female painter Kukin, I heard that she is one of the famous female painters in Russia, and the price is more than 20,000 or 30,000.

Compared with these oil paintings, Lin Yi still likes Chinese paintings, especially gouache paintings. Lin Yi feels that the colors of oil paintings are like colorful clouds, which make people feel a little exaggerated and gorgeous, which is suitable for hanging in the living room of a petty bourgeoisie, which can appear bright and sunny. Chinese painting, no matter where it is placed, can give people a sense of grandeur, especially the kind of Chinese painting with color and ink, which is the spiritual core that Western painting lacks.

After browsing these art stalls, Lin Yi did not buy a single painting, but a young man who looked very fashionable bought a few very abstract oil paintings. One of them is called "Ferrari in the Country", and I heard the stall owner say that this painting is the work of a peasant painter, and it has a very rustic atmosphere. Lin Yi felt that the work was the best of all oil paintings.

The so-called "country Ferrari" is actually an old-fashioned "walk-behind tractor" in the countryside. The picture shows the grand occasion of the wedding in the countryside, the bride sits on a bumpy tractor, blowing suona in the back, fluttering big red flowers and happy words, the whole painting is distorted and exaggerated three-dimensional, giving people a visual impact. It makes people feel nervous and depressed.

Lin Yi even felt that if the young man didn't buy the painting, Lin Yi would pay for it. As a child from the countryside, Lin Yi still likes this kind of painting very much. However, to Lin Yi's surprise, the painting was only sold for 200 yuan, and in Lin Yi's opinion, even 2000 is not expensive.

But the ghost market is like this, when others get the things in their hands, you can't open your mouth to fight, and you can't raise the price casually without knowing the rules, so you will be scolded to death.

……

With a hint of regret, Lin Yi left those calligraphy and painting stalls, took a look under a stall casually, and found a copy of "Ding Cong's Old Comics". Ding Cong is an old cartoonist, born in 1916. It was famous all over the world as early as the thirties of the last century. Published in 2004, the book is a collection of hundreds of works by the author from different periods. It is a historical material for the study of the style of the old gentleman's works in different periods. After negotiating with the stall owner, he got it at a price of 10 yuan, which was the cheapest book I bought on this trip to the ghost market.

Just as Lin Yi was about to leave after paying the money, the ghost market stall owner suddenly asked Lin Yi: "Friend, I still have some villain books here that I haven't taken out, do you want them?" ”

Lin Yi has never collected much villain books--- although he liked to read these things when he was a child, he has always felt that the water is too deep in this aspect of the little people, so he does not easily get involved. However, he was in a ghost market, and the stall owner was so enthusiastic and proactive, Lin Yi was a person who would not easily refuse others, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Take it out and take a look!"
