Although it is winter, the weather is cold, but still can't stop everyone's mood of Taobao, in front of the stall selling old things, look at those items with the imprint of the times, as if back to the last century or even ancient times, old radios, posters, copper locks, cigarette bottles, portrait badges, etc., dazzling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Yi didn't care about these things for the time being, he went straight to those used bookstalls, and then saw that almost all of them were crowded with people, including old men, children, and young people. The old people watched with their hands behind their backs, the young people squatted down to watch, and the children looked directly on them.

Lin Yi finally squeezed in, only to see that the nearly 100 used book stalls were densely packed, many bosses were sitting or standing or sorting out books, waiting for business opportunities, and some people may have stayed up late last night and fell asleep on the recliners.

Seeing such a "broad-hearted" boss, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the experience of "Shun Shu" in a used bookstall when he was a child.

At that time, people were small and liked to read some children's books, and when the bookstall owner fell asleep or dozed off, they would put the books they were looking at into their waists, and then quietly stood up, retreated, turned around, and ran away. Running sweating profusely, for fear that the stall owner would catch up.

Sometimes those bosses don't sleep, but just turn around and do other things, such as packing up lunch boxes, or tidying up the rack car, at this time you can also "smooth", but the action must be fast, and you must have a strong heart to be caught at any time. Often this time is the most exciting and exciting, sometimes after doing this, I feel that the crotch is wet, and the original tense diaper crotch is gone.

Lin Yi walked along the bookstall one by one, and soon stopped in front of a used bookstall.

This old bookstall is full of old books, only to see all kinds of old magazines, old newspapers, and old books of various periods, and even a few books of the Republic of China, look carefully, but it is packed in a plastic bag "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", open it to see, the handwriting inside is very small, it is a lithograph of the Republic of China, the value of the lithograph is not as large as the engraved book, because the quality of this printing is very poor, and the paper is basically oily paper of the Republic of China period, yellow, easy to be brittle, so this kind of book is generally difficult to preserve.

Besides, this set of books should be a set of eight, there are only five in front of me, and there are still three left, ask the boss for the price, and the boss will raise a finger like a rare treasure: "One thousand!" ”

Lin Yiguaner, the price of this thousand is okay for those who don't know how to do it, in fact, as long as you play with old books, you will know that the Republic of China book like this lithograph, the subject matter is not particularly good, according to the quality, a book is about 30 yuan, 50 yuan is a high price, five books at most 200 yuan, but the other party wants a thousand, it seems that the price is really high.

Lin Yi put the books down and put them back into a plastic bag. The boss was carrying a green military bag with Chairman Mao's portrait, and when he saw Lin Yi acting like this, he said: "Little brother, if you want it sincerely, I can give you a discount." ”

Lin Yi smiled: "I'm just looking." ”

The boss didn't say anything, his face showed displeasure, and he turned his head to solicit other buyers.

The reason why Lin Yi didn't pay the price was mainly because the other party asked for too much, how much can you hand over the price? If you don't buy it, it's a joke. So Lin Yi refused to bid very reservedly.

This is the rule when buying old books, if you really want to buy it, then pay the price, if the price is delivered, people are willing, but you regret it, then you lose morality.

So when shopping for used books, don't bargain easily unless you're really sure you're going to buy them. Otherwise, you'll end up with only two --- buy a copy of something you don't really like; Or, waste the stall owner's and your own time and become an immoral person.

……

Lin Yi got up and continued to browse other bookstalls, his eyes sweeping over the bookstalls again.

The boss was a fat man, in his 30s, wearing a military coat and a thick cotton hat covering his ears, dressed like a revolutionary soldier guarding the frontier, with a cigarette in his mouth and squinting his eyes, very alert to the people reading books at the bookstall.

Lin Yi looked at his bookstall and there were a lot of books, to be precise, there were a lot of miscellaneous books, such as Jia Pingwa's "Waste Capital", Chen Zhongzhong's "White Deer Plain", and Huo Da's "Mu-Silin's Funeral".

Lin Yi stretched out his hand, picked up the three books, looked at the copyright page, and the content, but unfortunately, the three books were all pirated versions. Especially the pirated version of "Waste Capital" is very bad, there are a lot of typos in it, and the paper is even more sloppy than straw paper, it seems that it is not easy to do piracy now, and I can't even afford paper.

Piled up with these pirated books, there are also some martial arts books, such as "Xun Qin Ji", "Turning the Clouds and Rain", "The Legend of Black Confucianism", and Gu Long's novel "The Eagle Flies in September", etc...... It can be said that the martial arts fantasy of the 80s and 90s are all included.

Lin Yi didn't read these books before, but now he rarely turns them, so he can pass them at a glance.

Soon, Lin Yi's eyes were fixed on a book, and he couldn't help but reach out and take it over, but when he saw it, it was "Daily Express" published by Puyi Book Company in 1931, that is, the twentieth year of the Republic of China.

This book is very thick, about 200 pages, including calendars, solar terms, anniversaries, climate, decrees, etiquette, clothing, daily miscellaneous characters, official document formats, rulers, deeds, Cambodian stickers, couplets, economy, litigation, health, travel, games, fortune-telling, etc., there are a lot of things, and so on, it is really a must-have encyclopedia for the home, and it is also a reference book for studying the social form of the Republic of China today.

The quality of the books is good, at least eight or five grades, which is much better than the set of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" just now.

Lin Yi has always been very interested in the books of the Republic of China, so he took a closer look, and saw that the "Beijing Tune" section of the book contains a lot of Yanqu tunes from the Republic of China, including one "Yan Ruisheng's Five Tunes---

"A little bit of the first month, the eldest three Qing people, Fang's name is Lianying, born with a good character, flattery, pretty eyes, new clothes, and the flower world takes Mowen. The second watch and the second o'clock moon are clear, the slippery head Yan Ruisheng, who was born as a student, has a reputation for being a high-class dismantling white, running horses, don't shell Zhang, lose cleanly, and suddenly have a black conscience. Three more and three moon reunions, diamond rings, bracelets, beads, don't hairpins are full, and when I see the child, I am dazzled and confused, so I turn my mind. The moon sets at four o'clock, the car can be borrowed, don't use others to drive, take a ride to Xujiahui, turn back, a rope, prepare a long time ago, and kill your life. At five o'clock in the west, the moon sank in the west, and Yan Ruisheng was demolished, he wanted to escape with his life, and the retribution of heaven was clear, but he could not escape, he was arrested, and the military law came to interrogate him, and he shot Glenn Dun. ”

Others don't know, but Lin Yi has read a lot of miscellaneous books, so he knows that this paragraph of "Yan Ruisheng's Five Changes" tells the story of "the first Huajie murder case in the Republic of China", in 1920, Yan Ruisheng strangled the "Huaguo Prime Minister" Wang Lianying case, this case caused a sensation in Shanghai, for a time the police banned prostitutes from traveling at midnight, and the literary and artistic circles adapted it into operas and movies, which shows the world of Huahua at that time.

Lin Yi continued to read and came to the "physiognomy" section of the book. This chapter lists women's noble appearances, chaste appearances, and lewd appearances, but does not list the various types of men's faces.

The women's noble appearance table is listed, "the forehead is round, the sideburns are black, the eyebrows are beautiful (the noble appearance has no cheap eyebrows, and the women's eyebrows are often crepe, and the people are not prosperous), the eyes are clear, the cheekbones are faint, the ears are thick, the people are distinct, the necks are long, the fingers are slender, and the vision is steady." The bylaw also says, "Women are dignified, and those who are charming and powerful are expensive, otherwise they are cheap." ”

The women's chastity table is listed, "the forehead is round, the hair is moist, the eyes are black and white, the nose must be straight, the longevity (faintly powerful), the law is deep, the vision is clear, delicate and powerful, the hands are like dry ginger, and the smile hides the teeth." ”

Women's lewdness-cheap appearance list is listed in the most detail, more from the woman's form and demeanor are discussed, many words are simply more yellow than yellow-novel, and finally there is a supplementary example: "Most sluts are more pretentious, no solemnity, from unstable, skewed, see people hide their faces, look back frequently, cover their mouths and smile, dress up their sideburns, brace their cheeks and bite their fingers, have wind willows, and behave obsessively. ”

When Lin Yi was carefully flipping through the book, he heard the fat boss of this bookstall shouting at him: "Hey, brother, do you want to buy it?" If you don't buy it, don't look at it anymore. The tone was a little impatient, he had already paid attention to Lin Yi for most of the day, he didn't buy this product just by looking at it, at first glance, he was the kind of master who likes to read books.

Lin Yi didn't expect that he would be treated as a "bastard" on the bookstall by others, so he couldn't help but praise the book and said with a smile: "How much money is this book?" ”

The fat boss gestured and said, "Eighty." ”

The price is not too high.

Lin Yi handed over the price: "I bought fifty." ”

Fat man: "It's not easy to do business on a cold day, add more." ”

Lin Yi said: "Then sixty --- six or six Shun, ask for good luck." ”

The fat man thought for a moment, "Deal." ”

……

Lin Yi can now be said to be an old connoisseur of old books, in his opinion, this book is not expensive for 60 yuan, if it is sold online, according to this quality, it can be at least hundreds, it can be said that it is a small leak.

For the fat boss, he looked away, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to be really a buyer. Originally, his bookstall didn't rely on this kind of book to make money, this kind of Republic of China book is difficult to find, and if you want to sell it, you must meet a collector, unlike those pirated books, which are easy to sell by thieves. Especially those with a bit of lust and eroticism, it costs 5---8 yuan a piece, and you can sell twenty or thirty copies a day, but the cost price of these books is one piece.

……

Because the deal was done, the fat boss took out a cigarette and gave it to Lin Yi, and then proudly said that the used book market would last for 15 days, and some stall owners stayed here at night, which was very hard, but the income was considerable, for example, he has now sold nearly 500 yuan of goods.

Lin Yi took the opportunity to ask: "In addition to these Republic of China books, do you have any better goods?" ”

The fat boss shook his head, "No, but there is still a sack of books, all of which are foreign masterpieces, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

Foreign classics?

Lin Yi didn't care, so he said, "It's better to let me take a look first." ”

The fat boss bit his cigarette, "Okay, you wait a minute!" (To be continued.) )
