target=_blank Chapter 520. "Taiping Guangji"
In fact, Lin Yi is really a bit over the couple. Yes, they seem to understand old books now, but they used to be a waste of nothing. No matter how good or bad the big books are, they all cost two or three yuan each, and a villain's book is two or three cents each. A set of four good-looking "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" book shows that there are too many stories about Stories from a Chinese Studio, and they have also performed on TV series. There is nothing strange about them. They only sold for eight yuan. A set of two volumes of "Yan Zi Chunqiu Collection" printed in 1962, 1 edition and 1 print of "Yan Zi Chunqiu Collection"
They made them stare at each other and sold them for five yuan. A set of twenty books, the Republic of China version of the "Complete Works of Lu Xun" was asked to sell them for one hundred and fifty yuan. The villain's books were no problem. Forty-eight books a box of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" they bit their back teeth and their brains were so high that they only sold thirty yuan. There is no need to mention the model opera, one yuan per book, and they put it out like sending red envelopes on WeChat. There was no way. At that time, most stall owners didn't know much about books and missed a lot of good books like the one mentioned above.
Because at that time, Qin Sanxi and his wife had just entered the industry and asked many people who didn't understand it, they looked very simple. However, over time, the shortcomings of women were obviously exposed. For example, when others received books, they would follow them regardless of their heads and ass. If you have something to do, ask her to help you find the stall, and she would call the customers who bought books at your stall to buy her books without any worries.
Compared to Qin Sanxi's "unscrupulous" approach, her man Li Gangban is quite real. For those who set up street stalls and buy books, they will deal with him directly while his wife is away. They are often sold by his wife for 100 yuan, and they can be sold by him for fifty yuan. When her wife found out, she would tug her ears and say that he was stupid, and others would slaughter you as a stupid donkey. Li Gangban said back and said that the donkey was the donkey. I only collected the book for 50 yuan. What happened to be the price of fifty yuan?
Now the couple sells books in a split manner. According to the rules set by the two, whoever sells the money belongs to whom - of course, Li Gangban still has to trade most of the money at night, otherwise his wife will not live a happy life with him. According to Li Gangban, the wealth will not flow to outsiders' fields, and he will also stuff the money to his wife.
At this time, Lin Yi was eyeing the 1960s version of "Taiping Guangji", which was very good in appearance, and was packed in a transparent plastic bag, as if he was waving to Lin Yi like a beautiful woman with outstanding looks.
"Taiping Guangji" is a big book compiled by the Song Dynasty. The book has 500 volumes and 10 volumes in the catalog. From the content, the most collected novels are novels. In fact, it can be said to be a collection of novels before the Song Dynasty. Many of the books have been lost now, and their remains can only be seen in this book. Many novels from the Tang Dynasty and before the Tang Dynasty have been preserved by "Taiping Guangji".
This book was compiled by 12 people including Li Fang, Hu Meng, Li Mu, Xu Xuan in the Song Dynasty under the order of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty. It began in the second year of Taiping Xingguo and was completed the following year. Because it was compiled in the Taiping Xingguo period of the Song Dynasty and was compiled at the same time as "Taiping Yulan", it is called "Taiping Guangji".
In Lin Yi's opinion, the most attractive thing about this book is that it contains many works such as the Six Dynasties and legends of the Tang Dynasty. The most worthy of attention in the book are the 9 volumes of miscellaneous biography, "The Biography of Li Wa", "The Biography of Liu Family", "The Biography of Wushuang Family", "The Biography of Huo Xiaoyu", and "The Biography of Yingying", most of which are only found in this book. There are also "The Ancient Mirror Records" that includes the Gu Ji, "The Biography of Li Zhangwu" that includes the ghost category, "The Biography of Li Soul" that includes the soul category, "The Biography of Liu Yi" that includes the dragon category, "The Biography of Ren Family" that includes the fox category, and "The Biography of Nanke Prefect" that includes the insect category, and are also the earliest existing books.
It can be said that any collector who likes the genius novels will basically like to collect this book. Lin Yi is no exception.
Since I like this set of books, Lin Yi is of course concerned about the version of this set of books.
Nowadays, the ones that can be purchased in circulation in the hands of collectors should be the Qing Dynasty printed version from Daoguang in 1846, Wen Guangyuji Tibetan boards, and a towel box version (a small opening version that is the size of a palm). The whole set is 64 copies. If the quality is good, the collector's price is about 25,000-30,000 yuan.
Then there is the version from the Republic of China period. In 1926, the lithographed version of Saoyeshanfang was published, with 32 rice paper fine prints, 4 letters and 40 volumes. If the quality is good, the collector's price is about 8,000--12,000 yuan.
Then there is a set of five hardcover books published by the People's Literature Club in 1959. If you have good looks, the price can be as high as 6,000-8,000 yuan.
As for the ten paperbacks published by Zhonghua Book Company in 1961, if you have a good look, the price is around 5,000 yuan.
In other words, if Lin Yi is interested in the set of "Taiping Guangji" that he is interested in now, if he sells it in the collector market, he will be very easy to sell for 5,000 yuan.
Lin Yi was attracted to this set of books, but he also knew that this set of books was probably sold by the other party as a treasure, otherwise he would not have brought a plastic cover, so he obviously cherished it.
Lin Yi wanted to buy this set of books, but he swung his way through the woman Qin Sanxi's book stall, as if he didn't care much about the set of books she had on, but looked at the man Li Gangban's book stall.
When Li Gangban was looking at the stall, he looked at some magazines such as small martial arts and popular magazines. However, whenever a customer bought a book, he would come to the gods like a weasel, like a weasel. He would talk to others about the world, from heaven to earth, from earth to earth.
Therefore, when he saw Lin Yi seemingly interested in the books on his book stall, he couldn't help asking: "What book are you looking for? I'll show you."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "I'm looking for Songbans, do you have it here?"
Then Li Gangban became excited, "Why are there no Song version of the book?"
This time it was Lin Yi's turn to be shocked, his eyes were straight--Originally, he was just making a joke, you should know that the Song version of the book is an amazing rare book. If there is, it would be a value-making process. Unexpectedly, this unpretentious man and his small book stall actually have such books.
Seeing Lin Yi's surprise look, Li Gangban became even more proud and began to brag about how precious the Song version of the book became. Then he said that he had a large set of Song versions at home.
Lin Yi felt that he was really "not aware of Mount Tai", so he hurriedly asked: "Brother, can you tell me the title of the book?"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Don't be polite, the title seems to be that. That "Kangxi Dictionary" is coming, right! It's called "Kangxi Dictionary". Brother, how do you look at my book taste?" Lin Yi was speechless when he heard the clever words he said, so he had to hum and answer: "It's not low in taste, it's not low in taste!" While speaking, he made a bow gesture, completely convinced this "knowledgeable" Comrade Li Gangban.
"By the way, brother, if you are interested in my Song version of the book, I can give it to you, but the price is a little more expensive..." Li Gangban thought he was catching a fat fish and was working hard to promote his "Song version of the book".
"You know, I didn't plan to sell that set of books, so I wanted to keep them as a heirloom, passed on from generation to generation. I passed them to my son, and my son passed them to my grandson... In the future, our old Li family will have a thought."
Seeing that he was about to sell books, Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, don't be polite! Such a good baby, you should pass it on as a family heirloom. A gentleman will not win over what he loves!"
Li Gangban didn't expect that the good thing was not sold, but he was not discouraged and continued to work hard and asked, "Then what else do you like? If you are so stupid, I'll give you a little cheaper."
What Lin Yi wanted was his words, and he pointed to the "Taiping Guangji" on Li Gangban's wife's stall, saying: "How much does that set of books cost?"
"Oh, brother, you have a good attitude, that's a good book--my wife cares about it... It's a minimum of 6,000 yuan!"
When Lin Yi heard the price quoted by the other party, he realized that he was not a fool, he must have read it online. After knowing the specific price code of this set of books in the collector market, it seems that it is really difficult to get a bargain.
Seeing Lin Yi's face hesitation, Li Gangban was afraid that this big customer would run away, especially Lin Yi's feat of sweeping the book stalls just now, so he patted his chest and said, "But it doesn't matter, brother. I see that you and I just talked about so much, we are destined to be. Although I, Li Gangban, cannot be the wife's master, I bought the book, and she also wants to sell me some face. Tell me, what price can you pay?"
Seeing this, Lin Yi raised three fingers: "Maximum 3,000!"
When he heard this number, Li Gangban grinned and said, "It's a little less. My wife wants 6,000, but you only have 3,000, and half of them have been cut off."
Lin Yi pretended to sigh and said, "Brother, I'm not to hide it. I bought too many books today and spent too little money in my pocket. In fact, I took out 3,000 yuan and I was already a little bit catching, so I can only count this at the highest."
Before Li Gangban could speak, Lin Yi said again: "But as the saying goes, business is not a good thing, and you and I meet are destined to be together---just like you said just now, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. I have learned a lot of things with you and your elder brother, so I still have to thank you!"
Lin Yi's regression and softness overcomes hardness, directly talked about Li Gangban's mind. You should know that he, a street stall sells old books, usually few people can appreciate him. Even earlier, he also worked on the construction site and made friends with some big and rough people. Since he set up a street stall to sell books, he has only come into contact with some literati and scholars, but most of those people are above the top, and those who can go to the table look even more despised. Unlike Lin Yi, he looks like a knowledgeable and educated person. In addition, Lin Yi's famous brand clothing and elegant temperament, he is not an ordinary person at first glance. Li Gangban feels that he can be called brothers by such people - glorious!
