Lin Yi carefully checked this Ito used bookstore, and saw that the shelves were full of books, almost all of them were in very good condition and engraved books. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Looking at the prices marked above, most of them are around 3,000 to 4,000 yen, and they are about 180 to 240 yuan according to the yuan, which is definitely low. For example, a set and engraved book "Lu Fang Weng Poetry Collection", published and distributed in the Meiji period of Japan, almost a hundred years ago, a set of six copies, a total of only 280 yuan, put to the country, at least a thousand sets of such a condition.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi first pocketed this set of books, after all, it is an engraved book, and it is the most popular book finder in the poetry collection.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yi continued to search, and soon he found a set of "Su Dongpo's Poetry Collection" on the shelf, a set of eight copies, looking at the publishing house and the distribution era, it turned out to be published at the same time as the "Lu Fangweng Poetry Collection" just now, it seems to belong to a series of books, and I don't know why it was not put together. Looking at the list price again, it is only 50 yuan more than the previous set, which is about 330 yuan. Lin Yi was unceremonious and grabbed it in his hand again.

Lin Yitao has rich experience in books, his eyes are like torches, in just a few minutes, he has searched for more than 30 books, and he can't take them, so he asked Begonia to help find a cardboard basket, similar to a supermarket, where plastic bags are not used, for environmental protection. That's why it's hard to find plastic in many shopping malls in Japan, and many bags are paper-based, making it easy to recycle and reuse.

If you think about it, Japan, as a country with a shortage of materials, has definitely achieved the ultimate in terms of conservation and waste recycling, which is worth learning from.

There are many people who buy books in the bookstore, but most of them are tourists who like to buy some books occasionally to have fun, but there are very few people who buy Chinese cabbage like Lin Yi.

After about ten minutes, I looked at the ground next to Lin Yi, and there were already five or six large paper baskets piled up very crowded, and there were almost three or four hundred of those books.

Lin Yi's frenzied purchasing posture attracted the attention of the owner of this used bookstore. Lin Yi had talked to him before, but the owner of the bookstore, Mr. Ito, only regarded him as an ordinary Chinese tourist, and only then did he know that this was a big customer.

Boss Ito didn't care about calculating the price for the customer himself and was in charge of the cashier, so he asked a female clerk in the store to deal with it alone, while he walked up to Lin Yi very enthusiastically, bowed cordially, and asked in half-baked Japanese: "Sir, did you buy these books?" ”

Ask questions first to avoid mistakes. Last time, Mr. Ito saw a gentleman pick up a basket of old books, but in the end, he didn't buy any of them.

Lin Yi looked at this Japanese man with a small flat head who looked very wooden, and his face did not have the annoying anger of Japanese devils at all--- mainly because he watched too many anti-Japanese dramas, and almost all the Japanese in it were extremely vicious, or in that kind of action romance movie, Japanese men were basically obscene.

The first feeling was very good, Lin Yi nodded at the Japanese boss and said, "Yes, I selected these books, a little more--- I hope you will get a discount later." ”

In Lin Yi's opinion, a big customer like himself has bought so many books, and according to the experience of buying books in China, the store owner will definitely promise to give you a discount later, but this Japanese boss is very old-fashioned.

I saw that Mr. Ito bowed again, as if he had done something wrong, and said, "I'm really sorry, sir!" These used books are all priced at the lowest level with no discounts. If you find it a bit expensive and don't have to buy it, we'll take care of putting them back in. ”

Brainless.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, it seems that the national conditions are different, and the methods of doing business are also different, this Japanese is too serious about doing business. In fact, Lin Yi also asked casually just now, but I didn't expect that this Japanese person was not tactful at all, and his speech was too straightforward, if he didn't buy it and put it back, wouldn't I have been picking it for a long time.

Seeing that Lin Yi was silent, Mr. Ito put his hands on his knees again, bowed to Lin Yiyi, and said, "I'm really sorry, sir." It's not that we don't want to do your business, it's mainly that I received these books from Osaka, Tokyo, Japan, and the purchase price is relatively high...... It's like, that's why I can't give you a discount. ”

Lin Yi originally didn't mind whether or not he was discounted, but when he saw that the Japanese boss was so interesting, he deliberately teased him, pretending to be a little angry and said: "Boss, I know that you have a price control for these old books, but you must clearly know that most of these old books are old books in Chinese, and now it is estimated that no one in Japan will buy such unintelligible books." Otherwise, your second-hand bookstore won't rely on attracting Chinese tourists......" After speaking, Lin Yi deliberately looked at the signboards written in Chinese characters in the store.

When Boss Ito heard Lin Yi say this, he apologized again: "You are very right. Yes, most of the customers in our shop are Chinese tourists, and only Chinese who are familiar with Chinese characters can read these ancient books, but ...... Still sorry, there's really nothing I can do about the price. ”

Seeing that the Japanese boss apologized and apologized, Lin Yidu laughed out loud, tried to keep a straight face, and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Hey, forget it--- these books are picked out by my hard work, since you refuse to give discounts, then I can only buy them according to the price you marked." ”

Mr. Ito was taken aback, and after listening to the first half of the sentence, he thought that Lin Yi had decided to give up the purchase, but he didn't expect that he would say later that he was willing to buy at the price indicated by the bookstore, and he was relieved.

To be honest, business has not been doing well lately, and Mr. Ito's bookstore has some business during this time, and it is all tourists who come during the May Day period in China. Now that China's May Day holiday has passed, the number of tourists has decreased, and Mr. Ito has had to resort to all kinds of ways to attract customers.

Like Lin Yi, there are very few big customers who buy hundreds of copies. Ito roughly calculated that if all these books were sold, at least it would earn half a month's rent.

Therefore, when Lin Yi told him that he was willing to buy all these books, he immediately bowed and said loudly "selfish Marseille", while personally helping Lin Yi pack those books.

Lin Yi stopped him and said, "Don't be busy yet, I still want to pick some more...... But ......" glanced at the books in the bookstore, "I've seen almost everything here, do you have a warehouse or something......"

According to his habits, Lin Yi knew that those who bought and sold old books would probably have some inventory, and even some rare books at the bottom of the box, which were generally not easily taken out to show others.

Sure enough, Lin Yi was an expert when he heard this, so Mr. Ito couldn't help but look up at him and said, "Sir, you seem to buy books a lot...... That's right, I have some other editions of old books in my storeroom, but they haven't been cleaned up much, and they're a little dirty......"

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said: "This is easy to do, I'll take a look, if there is a fancy one, it will definitely be purchased at a high price, if there is no one, even if it is a boss." ”

When Ito heard Lin Yi say this, he thought about it, and for the sake of the big business that was about to be completed, he decided, "Okay then, sir, I can take you to have a look...... But the place is a little dirty, and the young lady ......" and glanced at the begonia.

Lin Yi also knew that searching for old books was a dirty job, especially those used book warehouses, many of which were dusty, so he said to Haitang: "You stay here, I'll take a look." ”

During the honeymoon, Begonia was like a little woman, and when she heard Lin Yi say this, she didn't say much, just said that she would go back quickly.

……

Lin Yi followed Mr. Naito, left his used bookstore, and walked towards a remote place in the back.

This is also the habit of opening a used bookstore, and most used bookstores like to place the used books in the warehouse near the used bookstore, which is easy to restock and easy to take care of.

Ito led the way, turning back to Lin Yi from time to time and saying, "Sir, please be careful. It's a bit of a mess, some buildings are being demolished, there's a lot of industrial waste. ”

Lin Yi looked at the very neat industrial waste that was taken care of, compared to the bricks and gravel that were randomly piled up in China, and the difference in environmental protection was immediately apparent.

Lin Yi is not an angry youth, nor is he a member of the Hari-Ha-Han family, but in terms of environmental protection and energy conservation, what China has done is really insufficient. It's subtle, and a lot of times, it's the details that tell if you're doing enough of it.

Stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground, Lin Yi soon followed Mr. Ito to a nearby wooden house that seemed to be a little dilapidated.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the cartoon "The Little Man Who Borrowed Things" shot by Hayao Miyazaki, although he didn't go far, it seemed that he had left the noisy city, away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by common Japanese trees, and knee-deep bushes, a gust of wind blowing, the branches and leaves undulating, the rustling sound around, and the chirping of birds, quiet like an oil painting.

Seeing Lin Yi looking around in a daze, Mr. Ito scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, it's a little remote here--- there's no way, the rent in other parts of the bookstore is too expensive, and only here is basically uninhabited because of demolition, and the rent is very low." ”

Lin Yi knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he smiled and said: "I am fascinated by the scenery around here--- Sendai is really a good place, no wonder Mr. Lu Xun was willing to study here." ”

Hearing Lin Yi mention Lu Xun, Mr. Ito immediately became interested and said: "Speaking of Mr. Lu Xun, I admire him very much--- especially my grandfather, who also had a relationship with Mr. Lu Xun. ”

Lin Yi was stunned, "Really? ”

I thought that the promotional pictures about Lu Xun hanging in his store were all to solicit business.

"Yes. What I say is true. According to my grandfather, Mr. Lu Xun liked to buy books in our second-hand bookstore back then, and he didn't buy books like other people, and he never paid on credit. Only once, he took a fancy to an old book on anatomy, but unfortunately he didn't have much money with him, so his grandfather told him that he could make up for it next time. Lu Xun immediately expressed his gratitude and left with the book very happily. But after a long time, he didn't take care of our bookstore anymore. Then my grandfather heard that many Chinese students who had come to Sendai to study medicine had returned to China one after another, and he guessed that he must have gone back. Therefore, my grandfather still nagged my father that he should not give him that book on credit, because the price of that book was really expensive. But three days later, Mr. Lu Xun suddenly appeared in the store and took out the money to make up for the book money owed. Later, my grandfather learned that it was the day when Lu Xun decided to abandon medicine and leave Sendai, and in order to repay the book, he sold one of his most cherished pocket watches. ”

Mr. Ito said this, sighing, "Grandfather has always regretted this. He felt that he had not enough trust in a person. I think that Mr. Lu Xun is a respectable person, or at least a respectable guest. Later, his grandfather died, and Mr. Lu Xun became a great writer in China and became world-famous; My father inherited the family business and continued to run this second-hand bookstore, and began to collect all the books about Mr. Lu Xun with a purpose, many of his works published in China, Japan and other countries, such as Mr. Lu Xun's first book "The Scream", our family has collected no less than 30 editions, his "Hesitation" also has 28 editions, and his collection of essays, there are countless editions; In addition, my father also wrote the story of our bookstore and Mr. Lu Xun, and the inheritance came first. The old man often told us that perhaps the most proud thing of our bookstore in this life is about the communication with Mr. Lu Xun. ”

Listening to Mr. Ito's slight story, the story of their family and Mr. Lu Xun, Lin Yi had a feeling of time and space travel.

Lu Xun was very hot in China, especially in the special period of the 70s, when he was pushed to the literary altar by great men. So much so that since Lin Yi went to school, the most familiar Chinese writer is Lu Xun, and what he has heard about Lu Xun's various works is also in detail, such as "Kong Yiji", "Social Opera", "Hometown", and "Three Flavor Book House and Baicao Garden" and so on.

For Lin Yi, these texts are awkward and interesting, he likes to imitate Lu Xun's penmanship, and sometimes he writes some vocabulary by himself, and uses some long sentences that feel very deep in his weekly composition assignments; Every time I do this, I will get incisive comments from the teacher--- bullshit.

Later, after graduation, Lin Yi still had the most impression of Lu Xun in the texts he had recited, so that he secretly had Lu Xun's plot.

There are many people like Lin Yi who have Lu Xun's plots, so in terms of old book collection, as long as the works about Lu Xun are in good version, there will be many people competing to buy the collection. For example, the A and B editions of Lu Xun's complete works are now a good set or even tens of thousands.

It's just that what Lin Yi didn't expect was that in this far away Japan, there were people who had this special "Lu Xun plot", listening to what Mr. Ito meant, their family actually regarded the collection of Lu Xun's works as a career--- I don't know how many editions they collected, and whether they were really precious.

Lin Yi, I'm really curious.
