Lin Yi was surprised at the effectiveness of the pills in the small gourd. At this time, He Dabao, as the guide, suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yi.

Before coming to Panjiayuan, He Dabao briefly explained the situation around Lin Yi, but disappeared. Lin Yi thought he was lazy and ran away. However, because he was Lao Cao's cousin, he didn't plan to do too much, but just considered removing his commission a little.

He Dabao came back and told Lin Yi that he had helped him get the heads of the three giants in Panjiayuan. It turned out that there was a leader named Ma Wu in Panjiayuan, who was the leader of He Dabao, who was the bitter leader of He Dabao. Every time the three giants had any bulk of goods that needed to be transported, loaded and unloaded, he would greet him, and Ma Wu would greet He Dabao and the others again. Tomorrow, Ma Wu got married, He Dabao meant to give him a big red envelope, let him connect, and let Lin Yi meet with the three giants.

After hearing this, Lin Yi realized that he had misunderstood He Dabao. It turned out that he was busy with these things and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Just as Lin Yi was talking to He Dabao, a black-faced man checked a large cart of goods to the ghost market. Perhaps because there was no clear space around, he searched for it and stopped under a big locust tree not far from Lin Yi.

He Dabao was sharp-eyed and saw this person. He greeted Lin Yi and said, "Mr. Lin, the boss is Du Saner, who is Xiao Du's third brother. Xiao Du is a big boss-level book vendor in Panjiayuan. He brought his younger brother into this business. Xiao Du worked early and caught up with him. Later, he opened a large-scale old bookstore with others. After a while, he continued to do it himself. His business is very prosperous now. I heard that his assets have exceeded 10 million. He also has a stall in Panjiayuan, and his wife looks at it. As for Du Saner, because he is exposed to his brother's fortune, he can get good books on hand. You might as well go over and take a look---"

Before He Dabao could finish his speech, he suddenly saw several people rushing towards Du Saner's stall. Cao Guangtou, who had just disappeared, jumped up in the air with a beautiful and standard step, stepped into the stall, and almost reached into the woven bag, and flipped his head without raising his head. Du Saner's stall was instantly crowded and airtight.

Lin Yi was close to the water tower, but he was a little slower and was anxious on the outside, but he couldn't squeeze in. He had to sigh and wait for the crowd to loosen before squeezing in.

The book vendor Du Saner could no longer see him, and only he heard his anxious and white-faced shouts coming from the depths of the stall: "Don't go around, don't go around, don't sell them, don't sell them!"

Then I heard Lao Cao's voice, as if he had taken some picture album and asked for the price: "How much does this cost?"

"Eight thousand."

"Is it three thousand?"

“Not selling!”

"What's the minimum?"

"Five thousand."

"Add a thousand for you."

“Not selling.”

Old Cao shook his head: "It's only four thousand, right? Make a friend."

“Not selling.”

"The grass is so deadly."

Lao Cao said this, but did not put the book down, but grabbed it in his hand and continued to read other books.

Cao Guangtou flipped through for a long time and picked up seven or eight books. He whispered to Du Saner to discuss the price, pay, pack it, and then carried the things he bought behind his back, just like a martial arts hero in a martial arts novel. He said to Du Saner: "Brother, if you have any good books in the future, I will think of you, brother, please leave you a phone number." It is very different from when you bargained just now.

Du Saner was also a businessman and nodded quickly to promise. She lost the sarcasm and harshness she had when she bargained, and said with a smile: "I often come to visit you in the future, and there are not many big customers like you."

Bald Cao was even more proud. You should know that when he paid the money just now, he deliberately trembled the old man's head of "10,000 yuan" and could anyone see it.

In a group of envious and admiring eyes, Lao Cao was like a rooster who was fighting to win, stretched his neck and returned to the court with victory, squeezed out of the crowd, and saw Lin Yi who was "sighing" beside him at first glance, and he felt even happier.

Old Cao walked straight to Lin Yi and asked with a smile: "Didn't you squeeze in?"

Lin Yi said, "Yes, I didn't squeeze in; there were too many people."

Lao Cao deliberately showed off his lips: "What a pity, there are so many good things!"

Lin Yi asked: "What are you good at?"

Lao Cao pretended to be reserved and took out the cigarette and lit it, as if he had just won a battle. He had a smug smile on his face and said, "If you want to see it, just take a look."

Lin Yi was not polite to this pretentious guy. He reached out and opened the bag behind Lao Cao. When he saw that most of them were old picture albums that were fifty or sixty years old.

The first thing that catches your eye is a 12-page hardcover album "Baby Singing Miracle", which is authored by Master Zhang Leping, the author of "Sanmao Wandering". This album is a product of the "Great-Leap Forward" period in the 1950s, and the pictures drawn are imaginative.

A child sleeps inside a peanut shell, several children play on the lotus leaves, a little girl rides on a big black pig and blows a flute, and the two children treat pea pods as seesaws, and there is also a poem next to it: soy pods, with pointed ends, sisters and brothers sitting at both ends; ride the wind under the bean shed, and the bean pods make a seesaw.

There is also a more interesting picture. A little girl was pushing a trolley and carrying a large egg on it. The rooster and the old hen next to it were as tall as an ostrich. The poem was posted next to it: The old hen is so strange. A few eggs were laid; the egg hatched a fat chick, and the baby was her little aunt.

It can be said that this album is imaginative, full of fantasy and childlike fun, which is very different from the general propaganda posters during the "Great-Leap Forward" period.

Seeing that Lin Yi seemed to be interested in this album, Lao Cao said proudly, "I have painted this book for 500 yuan. I have checked it. The paperbacks on the Internet are sold for five or six hundred yuan. My 1959 limited edition is at least thousands."

Lin Yi nodded without commenting. Looking at another book, Lin Yi fell in love with it at first glance because it was a book "Selected New Year Pictures of Liaoning", published in Liaoning Art in 1960. The New Year pictures selected were from nearly ten years from 1948 to 1959. However, this album was in a letter, with wide open loose leafs inside. Each loose leaf is an exquisite New Year picture art work. According to the copyright, only 1,000 volumes have been printed. It has been so many years now, and it is probably rare in the world. It can be said to be a treasure in the New Year picture category.

You should know that in the collection of New Year paintings, the older the works, the more valuable they have, because the New Year paintings at that time were generally not reprinted, and many of them had been lost in the art world. If you want to see the original appearance of these old artists' previous works, you can only use this kind of album.

What's more, in the creation of New Year's paintings, Tianjin Yangliuqing, Shanghai Art, Liaoning Art, and People's Art are compared to the "Four Major New Year's Paintings Publishing Houses". The New Year's paintings published by these four companies are almost all master's works, and are the finest among the finest, so they are the most valuable collection in the New Year's painting world.

This bastard Lao Cao used to not play with New Year's paintings. He played with New Year's paintings and learned them with Lin Yi. At this moment, he said proudly: "This album is amazing. It sells tens of thousands of yuan online, but I only spent 5,000 yuan to get it in one bite!"

Lin Yishang, 5,000 yuan is indeed a bargain, and the quality of this kind can be worth at least 7,000 or 8,000 yuan. Thinking about it again, I guess I heard Lao Cao and Du Saner bargaining before, and this album was cut.

but……

Lin Yi immediately became confused. As He Dabao said just now, Du Saner is the younger brother of Xiao Du, the big boss of Pan Jiayuan book dealer. Since his elder brother is so good at selling books, how could he be a fool--selling things for 7,000 or 8,000 yuan or 5,000 yuan?

So Lin Yi reminded Lao Cao: "Do you see this album clearly? For example, are there pages missing?"

"How could that happen?" Lao Cao disagreed.

You should know that missing pages is a taboo in collections. Often, for albums, a book is worth one thousand, and one page can drop to 800 yuan. If there are three or five pages, then let alone the price drops by half. Especially for those rare categories, because they are old, it is more difficult to make up for the number of missing pages than to reach the sky.

"Be careful, you count." Lin Yi said to Lao Cao.

Only then did Lao Cao take over the book "Selected New Year Pictures of Liaoning", carefully pulled out the loose pages, counting the pages in front of the catalog---

According to the catalog of this album, there are 37 New Year pictures in the works, but when Lao Cao counts to 27, it gets stuck.

Needless to say, there is nothing behind.

A full ten pages are missing!!!

Based on this missing page calculation, it is already very good that this album can sell for 3,000 yuan. But he has sold a total of 5,000 yuan!

Lao Cao held the album, his hands trembled, his face turned red and white, and finally he looked at the sky and roared: "The book seller---I am a mud horse!"
Chapter completed!
