Chapter 8 Old Manuscripts of Nanyue
After Yu Lifei arrived in Tanzhou yesterday, Wu Wengu was the first person to really communicate with him, and Wu Wengu helped him find a job this time, if it wasn't for Wu Wengu last night, I'm afraid he would have to spend the night in the dispatch. When others help themselves, they naturally have to thank each other. Even if you don't have any ability for the time being, your heart must arrive.
From the moment he bought the boy bathing cow ornament last night, Yu Lifei understood that he might have an ability that others did not have. Since he got off the train yesterday evening, the Tanzhou Museum has been invisibly attracting him. And although he only slept next to the museum last night, he was unusually down-to-earth and comfortable. In particular, the dream, which was both real and illusory, made him have endless aftertastes.
Yu Lifei thought to himself that if he could find a stable job in the future, he would definitely come to the museum often. The aura here attracted him deeply, and he vaguely felt that this place would change his life.
Yu Lifei walked around the stall, he took a fancy to a few things, but when he picked it up, he didn't feel that comfortable. Across the road next to it, there is an antique market, which contains some real antiques, but the price is something that Yu Lifei can't afford at all.
Yu Lifei suddenly remembered that he bought the boy bathing cow picture ornament yesterday. Although he also likes it very much, it can be seen that Wu Wengu is also very interested in it. If you really can't find anything else, then give him the ornament of the boy bathing cow. As for the value of this boy bathing cow ornament, Yu Lifei did not think about it.
But just as Lifei was about to leave, he saw a young man riding a bicycle towards this side, and as soon as he arrived in the square, he immediately put the bicycle up, and immediately began to unload the bicycle without bothering to wipe the sweat on his face.
From the time he was still in the car, Yu Lifei had a special feeling, so as soon as the person's car was parked, Yu Lifei slowly walked over. Coins, woodware, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, he still has a lot of things, and as soon as he put the things on the ground, Yu Lifei picked them up and took a look. This man's things are much better than those on other stalls, and at least three out of ten things make him feel. It's just that Yu Lifei is not very interested in coins, wood, and porcelain.
But when he picked up a well-printed, well-preserved manuscript of Nanyue, this feeling was very strong. The book seemed to fit into his mind at once, and even the handwriting on every page of the book could be "read" clearly. Yu Lifei still knows a little about books, and most of what the old man has shown him since he was a child are wire-bound books. Although he couldn't tell the age and value, he knew that it should be a good thing.
Yu Lifei turned the pages of the book, and the paper in the book was neither bamboo paper nor leather paper, but typical white linen paper: the front was white and smooth, the back was slightly rough, and the paper was uniform and tough.
"Boss, how much does this book cost?" Yu Lifei asked, he didn't know the specific age of Lu Dao's book, and it could be a modern visit, but he believed in his feelings. As soon as he held this book in his hand, it made him more comfortable than the boy bathing cow ornament he took yesterday.
"One hundred and fifteen." The young stall owner was quick with his hands and feet, and when everything was set, he took a stool and sat down on his bicycle.
"One hundred and five is too expensive, this book is not an ancient book, at most it is not antique, twenty lines?" Yu Lifei asked, there are more and more people in the antique market now, and he has never seen a transaction of more than 100 yuan when he walked through it just now.
"This is what I received last night, in good condition, beautifully printed, I spent a lot of money when I received it, you can't let me lose money, right?" Li Xuanmo said that he has a nickname, called Straw Shoes, and is one of the shovelers in Tanzhou. The so-called shoveler is the name of going to the countryside to buy antiques, and the industry calls the receipt of goods in the countryside as shoveling land, and they are naturally called shovelers.
Li Xuanmo has nothing, neither money nor daughter-in-law, he is naked and striped, and he is a poor single, and he is the master who eats enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry. He is good, kind-hearted, used to be a butcher who killed pigs to make a living, and later opened a grain and oil store, and finally because of the pressure of life, or perhaps because he heard that the antique industry is very profitable, so he took up the antique shop and put away the antiques.
Maybe it's providence, maybe it's fate, not long after Li Xuanmo apprenticed, the teacher closed his eyes and kicked and followed Marx and Chairman Mao. The young man who had not studied for a few days was counted as an apprentice, and ran around the countryside alone. Because there are too many living examples of getting rich overnight, poor Li Xuanmo was poured with ecstasy soup that made a fortune by chance, so he was very motivated, and he could be seen setting up a stall in every antique market.
He often rode a broken bicycle, wore a broken straw hat, came under the scorching sun, and set up a stall in a hurry regardless of wiping the stinky sweat on his face. He has diligent legs, a sweet mouth, and the goods he collects are very rich, the good and the bad, all mixed together, as long as he makes money, even if he only makes money to repair tires, he will sell them.
The antique dealer in the antique market thought he was easy to talk to, so he was willing to trade with him. Therefore, from the beginning of his entry into the industry, the young man has been very popular and has been favored by everyone. Of course, the most important point is that he doesn't know how to do it, and the reason why people compete for me to buy goods is that they can always pick up the bargain on him.
In fact, if you always want to take advantage of others, your popularity will get worse and worse, and you will eventually be classified as cunning and treacherous. And if you can let people take advantage of yourself, your popularity will get better and better, and it seems that you have suffered a loss, but in fact, you have gained a profit.
"That's it, you say the lowest price, I'm a poor student, I can buy it if I can afford it, and forget it if I can't afford it. I really want this book, to start a business with you. Yu Lifei said, he is afraid that the total amount on his body now is only one hundred and fifty yuan, but he still has to eat and sleep. Even if the matter of sleeping is easy to solve, he can't afford to skip meals.
"That's it, you take eighty dollars." Li Xuanmo said that even if he is realistic, he has become sleek and sophisticated after a few years in the antique circle. He received this book for ten yuan, and he felt that the copy of the Republic of China could only be treated as an old item, and there was still a distance from the antique.
"Boss, eighty yuan is still a bit expensive, I bought it to give it away, you look at the price, can fifty yuan work? This is not only your opening business, but also our relationship, once born and twice matured, and later become friends, and will often come to you to buy things. Yu Lifei said sincerely, he felt that Li Xuanmo was not a few years older than him, and young people should be easy to talk and not too abrasive.
"Okay, fifty is fifty, and you should make friends in the future." Li Xuanmo nodded straightforwardly, for him, ten yuan of things can be turned into fifty yuan, which is enough.
Although Yu Lifei was very distressed, he still paid the money very happily, put the book in his bag and wanted to leave. But as soon as he stood up, a middle-aged man next to him opened his mouth: "Young man, do you sell this book?" ”
