Liu Sanbao stopped Lin Yi and Cao Yidao, and then said, "Don't worry, although I am a book seller, I keep my word and will not do such a tasteless thing."

Lao Cao shook his big bald head, "I believe this, because even if you really want to lose your character, my buddy will not agree. If you have something in hand, we will leave if we want to leave."

Liu Sanbao nodded, "That's right. But I can't stop you."

Cao Yidao: "You have the eyesight."

Liu Sanbao said again: "Look at your big sack and small carry bags, are you specializing in old books?"

Lao Cao turned his eyes and became proud: "It's not a waste of praise for your ability to praise you. That's right, our brothers are just playing old books and are very famous. As for what name it is, I won't say it out, for fear of scaring you."

After hearing this, Liu Sanbao laughed, "There is a batch of 'local goods' that have just been unearthed. Do you dare to collect it?"

Lao Cao was stunned, and Lin Yi was also stunned. Because the so-called newly unearthed "local goods" are probably old things dug out from ancient tombs, which are cultural relics, and buying and selling such things is illegal.

But curiosity overcomes that sense of crime. Moreover, in Lin Yi's opinion, it is rare to see this so-called "local product" today. It is likely that it is a rare ancient book, and if you miss it, you will have no chance. Also, if this rare ancient book is bought abroad by this person and it will be even more detrimental to foreigners.

Seeing that Lin Yi and Lao Cao were scared by their own words, Liu Sanbao felt relieved. The decadent mood that had lost just now was relieved, and he said again: "Don't worry, we don't do illegal things. Although these things were dug out from the ground, they are all people with masters. They are not the kind of stealing and stealing behavior. I can guarantee you this with my character. It's just in terms of price, it's a little more expensive. Since you specialize in playing old books, you should know that real rare ancient books are not the price of 1,000 yuan in the book stall, tens of thousands or million yuan are common -- the question is, can you afford it?" He stared at Lin Yi and the others with narrow eyes, as if weighing and examining their weight.

He was underestimated again. Before Lin Yi could speak, Old Cao said like a firecracker: "Even if you bring your treasure, let alone a million, we can afford it even if it is tens of millions!" Old Cao said fiercely. After saying this, he hurriedly added, "I mean he can afford it, my friend!" He pointed to Lin Yi.

When Liu Sanbao heard this, it turned out that this gentle young man seemed to have a great background, and this firecracker was at most a follower.

So Liu Sanbao laughed, "Since that's the case, why don't you leave your phone number to me first. I'll contact you here. At most, you can come and see the goods."

"What, there's no goods now?" Old Cao looked straight.

Liu Sanbao smiled and said nothing: "Brother, if it were you, would you be wandering around with hundreds of thousands or millions of things?"

"This..." Lao Cao became mute.

On this side, Lin Yi left Lao Cao's phone number, then said hello to Liu Sanbao, and then left and continued to search for books.

Behind him, Liu Sanbao took out his cell phone, dialed a number, and then said with a flattering smile: "Master Ba, there is a way, and someone wants to see the goods."

A muffled voice came from the other end: "Is a person reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable. They are all people visiting book stalls. I saw that they were doing big business, so I got it online."

"Well, that's great. Damn, if you weren't rushing to spend money during the Chinese New Year, you wouldn't have asked you to help."

"Your Majesty, what do you say? If you want me to help, just give me face."

"You can talk, and you will be bound to be the one you can do after things are done!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ba, thank you old man!"

...

"Xiao Linzi, did you think that Liu's surname is a big fool? He actually said that there are any treasures to sell? Or just play the immortal dance and trick us into the same place so that we can rob us?" Old Cao muttered in Lin Yi's ear.

Lin Yi said: "If you ask me, how can I know. But if you dare to say such things, I guess the boss has some energy. Let's take a look at it then."

The two of them were talking like this and saw the crowds in front of them, as if they were watching something strange.

The two of them squeezed over and looked at it, and couldn't help but be curious.

It turns out that this is still a book stall, but this book stall is different from other books. Other book stalls set up books, and then the boss looks at the book and you choose whatever you want. After you choose it, you bargain, and you can sell it.

No one took care of this book stall, but just put a lot of old books neatly on the stall. In front of the stall, there was a cardboard box similar to a donation box. The cardboard box was sealed tightly, leaving only a round hole. I heard from someone next to me that if you like a book, you will throw money in it according to the price you can pay, and then take the book away.

Lao Cao immediately sighed, "What kind of world is this? It's not that I don't understand, it's because the world is developing too fast. I have only heard of the fact that there are automatic beverages and sexual toys, but I didn't expect that there are automatic vending old books. It's so advanced that no one needs to read the stall."

Lin Yi was thinking, wouldn’t this be a loss-making business? After all, the reason why many people buy old books is that they like to have low prices. Now you ask customers to set the price themselves and then lose money to pay the bills themselves. Many people don’t deliberately stuff a piece of star anise to take advantage of it?

But Lin Yi and Lao Cao were stunned that most buyers not only paid less after picking books at the book stall, but also paid a few more yuan and threw it into a cardboard box.

For example, an old man fell in love with a book that was published in 1980. The hardcover version of "Xinhua Dictionary" was paid 30 yuan and threw it into a cardboard box. This book is only about 15-20 yuan at most.

There was also a lady who looked like a teacher who fell in love with a set of works that were published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House in 1982, in paperback "History of the Development of Chinese Literature". This set of monographs belonged to Liu Dajie, but unfortunately her appearance was slightly inferior. In Lin Yi's opinion, it was only worth 20 yuan at most, but this lady actually threw 40 yuan into the box.

In addition, a young man who was about the same age as Lin Yi also selected a few books on the book stall, but it was published by Zhongzhou Ancient Books Publishing House in 1994, written by Mao Taizu, and three books in a set of paperback "Rongzhai Essays". This set of books is of great quality and is worth about 30 yuan, but the young man generously threw 50 yuan in a cardboard box. Looking at the appearance, he seemed a little embarrassed and felt that he had lost less.

Lin Yi and Lao Cao were both confused at this moment. Could it be that these people don’t understand books? How could this happen?

But soon, Lin Yi's eyes were attracted by the set of books on this book stall. He temporarily forgot about the fact that he had to set the price for the books he bought in front of him.

...

The book that Lin Yi likes is a set of eight books, the Tang people's "Jinling Spring Dream" series.

By the way, this "Tangren" is a writer in Hong Kong, but he is not a professional writer. Although he has been a successful person for ten years, he writes ten thousand words every day. He is a professional journalist and worked in Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao and the New Evening News for 35 years until his death. He has a great work burden, but his writing achievements are even greater, first of all, the amount is large.

His biggest work is "Jinling Spring Dream", with all 2.3 million words. It is said that the sequel "Caoshan Remaining Dream" is bigger than it, and on the other hand, there are 3.2 million words. However, because it has not been compiled into a book, it is still difficult to say whether the "Spring Dream" will be longer or the "Remaining Dream" will be longer.

However, it is certain that "Jinling Spring Dream" is much bigger, with more readers and a great influence. It has a great influence at home and abroad and even in Taiwan.

Its largest number of readers is still in the mainland. For a long time, it was the only Hong Kong book that can be sold in the mainland. The Tang people were the only Hong Kong writers known to many people in the mainland from south to north. Although this book was only "internal distribution" for a long time. In Taiwan, it was of course. In Hong Kong and overseas, it was of course a bestseller. Since many people didn't know much about Chiang Kai-shek's past, they were not aware of the vicissitudes of "when he saw him get up a red building, he feasted guests, and he saw his building collapse", he was particularly interested in such a book. This is a novel of Romance of Legends. First, it was a documentary, and then the Romance of Legends, which inevitably had artistic processing, exaggeration and even indestructible details. Isn't this the same thing about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

Lin Yi likes to read history books, so he has read Yao Xueying's "Li Zicheng", and of course he has also read the set of "Jinling Spring Dream" which also belongs to the history category.

The set of "Jinling Spring Dream" in front of me is of great quality. One set of eight copies is the version published by Beijing Publishing House.

Speaking of which, the book "Jinling Spring Dream" is a common book on many used book stalls. Many people think that this set is worthless, but they don't know that this is an extremely wrong view.

There are two versions of this set of books, one is the version published by Shanghai Literature and Art, and the other is the version published by Beijing Publishing House. These two sets of books are all eight books in one set, but the first six books are not worth the price, and each book is only 3 or 5 yuan at most, but the seventh volume and the eighth volume are not 50 yuan. Especially the eighth volume "The Great River Flows East", the current lowest price of the Beijing version is 30.00 yuan, which is of extraordinary quality, while the Shanghai cultural version is 3 or 400 yuan.

Many people think that the Shanghai Literary and Art Edition is the same as the eighth volume of "The Dream of the Spring of Jinling" by Beijing Publishing House, "The River Gos East", and they were both revised and published by Mr. Tang in his later years. In fact, it is not the case, the Shanghai Literary and Art Edition and the Beijing Edition are two different books, not only the authors are different, but the content is also different.

The author of the eighth episode "The River Gos East" unfortunately passed away without time to revise it. Beijing Publishing House completed the project for the author. In this episode, about the peaceful liberation of Peking, the talks between the Kuomintang and the Republic of China, the triangular relationship between Jiang Jieshi, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi, the Yangtze River defense line, the uprising of the Chongqing cruiser and the fleet near Nanjing and the battle of Shanghai, etc., are all written by the "Northern Tang people". Almost three-quarters of the forty episodes of this episode are newly drafted. This is nothing.

The Shanghai Literary Edition has been sequels with Ge Shida and three others. The Shanghai version has only 38 chapters, while the Beijing version has 40 chapters. The text and content of the chapters are very different. Ge Shida was originally a subordinate of Chiang Kai-shek. Lin Yi personally thought that the writing style of the Shanghai Literary Edition Ge Shida was not as good as the Beijing version.

However, Lin Yi was confused at this time, how much money should he invest in this cardboard box after taking this set of books? Depending on what people mean, they all paid according to their own psychological price. So what about himself?

Lin Yi finally sighed, "This person is the hardest thing to deceive himself." So Lin Yi immediately took the book and threw 400 yuan into the cardboard box."

"Wow!" The people around were immediately surprised.

Because in their opinion, the old books selected by Lin Yi are worth at most 40 yuan, five yuan per book, and eight books are worth 40 yuan. But Lin Yi gave a price of ten times. How could this not surprise them?

Although Lao Cao played with old books, he did not know much about "Jinling Dreams" and did not understand why Lin Yi wanted to be a "slaughter" and bought a set of "cabbage books" for 400 yuan.

But the money has been put into pockets, so I can't go back on my word. I can only wait suspiciously before asking Lin Yi to see if there is anything wrong with it.

But just as Lin Yi gave money, took the book, and accompanied Cao Yidao, he heard a voice saying, "My friend, please stay!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. What's wrong today? He was called to "stay" repeatedly. Could it be that he wouldn't let him go after buying the book?!
Chapter completed!
