Chapter 343. Scouring Jinling
The bedroom is open to the east, and the early morning sun pierces the blockade of the light clouds in the sky, leaking out from the gaps in the clouds, and shone on Lin Yi's face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Yi reached out and wiped his nose, and put the sheet on his face again, but there was a deafening sound of music in his ears.
The music is Xu Song's "Smoke and Sand in Half a City---
Some love is like a broken paper kite
The ending is sad and the rest of the hands are on the line
Some hate is like a circle
There is no end to retribution
Just to fulfill a long-cherished wish
How much blood will be paid......
……
In Lin Yi's opinion, the characteristics of this singer are similar to those of Dong Chou, and the graceful energy of singing is Dong Chou's energy, but the lyrics sung are much clearer than Dong Chou. However, no matter how good the song is, when it is sung early in the morning, it has become a noise that disturbs people's dreams, so Lin Yi covered his head with a pillow. It's a pity that it's still not soundproof, and the gentle and sad and desolate singing is still constantly transmitted to his ears.
Lin Yi was a little distressed, he sat up, and he was in a daze when he was a little depressed. Because of the change of place, he tossed and turned last night for almost half the night, and finally felt a little sleepy, and now he was woken up again.
Lin Yi remembered what he had agreed with the girl before, so he yawned and walked out, and then saw Huang Rong, who was wearing a headscarf and dressed in a sports shirt, had opened the door and started jumping in the corridor outside the window.
I have to admit that this is an energetic woman.
But for Lin Yi, this is a disaster.
Lin Yi stretched his waist, moving his back that was lazy because he didn't sleep beautifully, and he felt extremely sleepy. yawned, Lin Yi said to Huang Rong outside the window: "I said if you made a mistake, what time will you get up and toss!" ”
Huang Rong pushed open the window, stretched out her pretty face, and said, "It's good to get up early and go to bed early, didn't the teacher teach you when you went to school?!" "Obviously, I forgot the agreement with Lin Yi for a long time.
Lin Yi scratched his head: "Then you don't have to jump so hard, the floor is about to collapse by you, and what kind of temperament do you have, listening to such a lingering and sympathetic song, can you still dance?" ”
"You don't understand this, it's called happiness in suffering, a new kind of psychotherapy."
"Oh, a new term--- what's the matter, what are you doing, so expert?" Lin Yi coped with brushing his teeth and washing his face, wiped a towel and walked to her side, and took a look.
Huang Rong turned her head away and said coldly: "Do you think I do something, like you, an unemployed vagrant?" ”
"Hey, I haven't said it yet, how do you know I'm vagrant?" Lin Yi pretended to be surprised.
Huang Rong glanced at him and said, "It's still up to you, with your virtue, who will invite you!" As he spoke, he stopped his movement and said, "For the sake of you and I knowing each other, do you want me to introduce you to your work?" ”
"Is there a lot of money?" Lin Yi said cheekily.
"Anyway, I won't starve you."
"That's not much."
"What's the matter, you're still picking fat and thin? Are you a college student? ”
Lin Yi shook his head, "Graduated from high school." ”
Huang Rong pursed her mouth and said, "That is, there are skills--- cooks, barbers, car mechanics?" ”
Lin Yi smiled and said, "I don't know, I haven't learned, and I don't have any skills." ”
"You don't have any skills, you're still so good." Huang Rong sneered.
"I don't have to worry about it, you want to introduce it to me, but I don't know what job you want to introduce until now......
"Open the gates!"
"What?" Lin Yi shook his head and said, "I can't do this, I can't rob my uncles and uncles of their jobs." ”
Huang Rong frowned and said, "You are young and strong, why can't you support yourself?" ”
"I didn't steal or rob, did I?" Lin Yi smiled: "So you don't have to worry about my business--- haven't said it yet, what the hell are you doing?!" ”
Huang Rong frowned and said, "I'm a doctor." ”
Lin Yi glanced at her, "It's not like it." ”
"What's wrong?" Huang Rong said angrily.
"I don't have that temperament."
Huang Rong froze, "Why do you owe so much!" ”
"I'm just telling the truth, no matter what you do, you should have that kind of temperament, teachers should have the smell of books, doctors should have the smell of medicine--- which department are you a doctor?"
"You don't care." Huang Rong snorted coldly, wiped her face with a towel as she spoke, and Shi Shiran walked away.
Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders and muttered in the back, "It can't be psychiatric, right?" It looks like it. ”
……
Nanjing, formerly known as "Jinling", is an ancient cultural city with a long history, and the atmosphere of reading in the past dynasties is very strong, and many cultural celebrities have studied and studied here; It is precisely because of the large number of people who read and love books that Nanjing's private book collection has been very prosperous since the Six Dynasties; At the same time, Confucius Temple, Chaotian Palace and other places have always been a paradise for book-hunting people, and they are quite famous in the domestic second-hand book trading market.
However, with the development of the times and urban construction, there are fewer and fewer places to buy books in Nanjing, and the places where the predecessors read and collect books have gradually been forgotten.
In the old days, most readers loved to visit used book stalls, and the fun was great for connoisseurs to enter the antique shops, wander around, and forget to return. Nanjing's historical second-hand book market is very prosperous, and the flower archway on Taiping South Road and the ghost market of Chaotian Palace are among the best in the country. However, today's antique book industry seems to be "unpopular" and unknown to most people. Where can I still buy old books in Nanjing?
For Lin Yi, a four-grade collector, he soon found many good places to buy books.
First of all, among the book lovers in Nanjing, there is nothing that I don't know when it comes to "ancient book bookstores". The predecessor of the "Ancient Book Bookstore" was the Cui Book Office that opened in the Zhuangyuan Realm of Confucius Temple during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty, which was famous in Nanjing at that time, and was the largest ancient book bookstore in Confucius Temple. After several setbacks, this time-honored bookstore only gained a foothold on Taiping South Road in 1962. After a major renovation two years ago, the antiquarian bookstore was restored to its original appearance in 1936.
On this day, Lin Yi came to the ancient bookstore near Yang Gongjing. The stone door of the "Zhonghua Book Company" at the entrance of the store, the blue-gray exterior wall, and the quaint architectural style are distinctive.
Stepping on the mahogany staircase of the antiquarian bookstore, the smell of books greets you. On the second floor, there are wire-bound books and special books, and the prices of old books displayed on the open shelves in the hall range from a dozen to several hundred. And the "good things" are hidden in a room with a plaque of "Cultivating Yan Zhai" in the middle. Thread-bound books, old paperbacks of the Republic of China, and rubbings of inscriptions are locked in glass bookcases, and the yellow paper tells the vicissitudes of life.
Lin Yi took a general look, and all the ancient books in it were clearly priced, four thousand yuan for six volumes of "Yellow Emperor Jiayi Jing", three thousand yuan for six volumes of "Ancient Literature and Views", and two volumes of "Kangxi Dictionary" for 1,400 yuan. Such a price is almost the same as the price on the Internet, and for Lin Yi, it is equivalent to having no leaks to pick up.
The chubby manager of the antique bookstore proudly introduced to Lin Yi that the antique bookstore originally mainly engaged in engraving, movable type, lead, stone, photocopies, etc., and enjoyed a good reputation throughout the country. "Once, we bought a batch of wire-bound books from Beijing, sold them in half, and the readers who got the information grabbed a few stacks each, and queued up for dozens of meters, as if they didn't want money." He laughs.
After 2000, the bookstore business gradually fell into disarray. "On the one hand, because there are few precious ancient books, there are almost no good books outside, and there is a shortage of goods." He introduced that there are some ancient books in stock in the store, and there is no shortage of treasures, but there is one less book to sell, and he is reluctant to sell it. The treasure of the town store is the only book in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty "Jiangning County Chronicles", the only one in the world, absolutely unparalleled, as for its value is immeasurable, it can be called a priceless treasure, "I can't tell you which library, no one borrows." ”
In this regard, Lin Yi could only laugh at it, the saying of "the treasure of the town store" has existed since ancient times, but whether it is a treasure or not depends on who it is. The bookstore manager didn't know where Lin Yi was sacred, let alone that Lin Yi had Song and Yuan engravings in hand, and there were countless ancient books of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In this bookstore, Lin Yi bought thirteen line-bound books at a very cheap price, according to the words of the bookstore manager, "These books are all good books, but it's a pity that the quality is a little different, and if it is repaired, it will not outweigh the loss, so I will give it to you cheaply." ”
Thirteen books, a total of more than 300 yuan, for others these are the scum of the old books, but for Lin Yi, it is a rare "leak", you know, these books can be sold for more than 30,000 yuan as long as they are slightly repaired with his aura.
……
According to the map of Nanjing Taoshu created by himself, Lin Yi came to the "Weichu Bookstore" next.
When he came to this bookstore, Lin Yi was immediately stunned by the four words on the door, the calligraphy was strong and powerful, and the taste was extraordinary. Compared to other small bookstores, this one is quite large, the shelves are crowded with books, and a dozen or so customers are immersed in picking up books.
The boss told Lin Yi that his surname was Tang, that he was in his thirties, and that he was from Hunan. Boss Xiaotang has been engaged in the second-hand bookstore business for more than 6 years, and he started working in Nanjing. At first, the bookstore was shabby, with a small space and crowded stacks of books. Recently, he acquired the Xiaoxiang Bookstore next door, and the bookstore environment is much better than before.
Just as he wanted to continue chatting, Boss Tang said apologetically that he was going out to buy goods, and left in a hurry. Lin Yi casually walked around the store, and saw a few regular customers, and everyone was a book lover, so he chatted.
"The owner is shrewd and hardworking. The bookstore was inconspicuous when it first opened, and it was able to survive, which shows that Boss Tang does have his own set. He goes out to collect books almost every day, and sometimes goes to the Shanghai Confucian Temple, so the store can often see some good books, and the prices are reasonable. Whenever Boss Tang comes back from Shanghai, there are always book friends waiting to see him unpack and choose books. "Mr. Zhang, an old customer, is obviously a talker, and he knows everything about Lin Yi, and he talks endlessly, so that Lin Yi almost has no time to buy books.
First of all, Lin Yi saw that there was a book wrapped in a book jacket on the side of the bookshelf, and the title of the book was not written, and when the book cover was removed, he saw that it was the "Selected Words" of the People's Literature Publishing House. Aren't there two copies? ”
"There's one more on the side."
At first glance, it is also wrapped in a book jacket, and it is just one set when I open it.
The guy said, "This book is expensive." ”
"How much?"
"30, the boss's own book"
"20 yuan."
In the end, 20 yuan asked for "Selected Words". Half of the reason I bought it was because of the condition.
After that, I bought them separately:
1. "Xingyi Boxing Equipment Technique Technique", Lin Yi has always been interested in martial arts, and this is the author's signed book. $5.
2. "The Grand View of Chinese Jokes", all of which are small stories in classical Chinese, thinking that I have nothing to flip through in the future, at least entertain myself, 5 yuan.
3. "Grand View - Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln Special Exhibition", this is today's favorite one, published by the Palace Museum in 2006, printed quite exquisitely, the book is hardcover. The offer was 50, the counteroffer was 30, and the last 30 was taken.
Lin Yi also turned around a few times and accidentally found this book, it's strange that it wasn't snatched away early, what else can I say, fate!
After Lin Yi made a little inquiry, the lowest market price of this book was more than 350, which seemed to be a "leak".
……
Next door to the Affiliated High School of Nanjing University on Qingdao Road, Lin Yi found the oldest "scholar used bookstore" in this area. Compared with "Wei Chu", it is a little simple, the store is narrow, but the popularity is not bad at all, more than three o'clock in the afternoon, there is an endless stream of customers. There are many and complete books here, and the taste is also high, and they are arranged in different categories, which is very eye-catching. The last page of each old book is marked with a pencil for the price.
The boss's surname is Kan Mingwei, and he is a handsome guy, tall and thin, wearing a peaked cap. Through small talk, Kan Wei told Lin Yi, "At first, I was just helping out in a friend's bookstore, and I became interested in doing it. I always feel happy to be able to find the book that others have been looking for, or to fill in a missing book. Selling old books is not the same as selling new books, why should readers come to a used bookstore to find a book? He will tell you the value of the book, and slowly accumulate it, and our own quality and the quality of the bookstore will be improved. ”
Kan Wei was very talkative, and he told an interesting story. In 2002, he spent 100 yuan on the Chaotian Palace to buy a catalogue of rare books from the Central University Library, which was signed and stamped by the president, the head of the academic affairs group and the librarian, so the book has a collection value. Later, this matter somehow reached the ears of the deputy director of the library of Nanjing University, and he came to the store every day to find me, first persuading me to donate to the school and awarding me a certificate of honor, but I did not agree. He also said that he wanted me to sell it to him, but I didn't want to sell it, so how could I give up the books I really liked? The matter was then settled. ”
Through small talk, Lin Yi knew that this little boss Kan Wei was very researched about the edition catalog, and he knew what books were sold and what prices he took. Therefore, it is estimated that it is very suspenseful to want to "pick up leaks" in him.
As a result, Lin Yi "leaked" and didn't pick it up, but he just bought three books, one "Book Love", 18 yuan; "Tea Shop Storytelling", 21 yuan; "Listening to the Lut Collection", 10 yuan.
……
Walking out of this bookstore, looking up at the sky, the night was already dark, and in the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
Carrying a bag full of heavy books, Lin Yi felt extremely fulfilled in his heart. But if you think about it carefully, it seems that you have a long way to go if you want to exhaust all the bookstores in Jinling.
Keep up the good work! Lin Yi cheered himself up. (To be continued.) )
