Chapter 10. You are my mutton soup

Guo Zixing has experienced many painful things, such as when he cheated on his wife, shopping for a woman, eating, drinking and having fun for a day, opening a room, taking a bath, taking off her clothes, and getting on the big bed. Then, at the moment when he was about to get on the horse, the woman said, "Sorry, my menstrual period is coming."

Disappointment!

Unlucky!

It definitely makes people feel angry and have nowhere to vent.

The scene at this moment is the same. From the beginning, Lin Yi showed off his mysterious paintings, took out the draft mysteriously, and opened them mysteriously for him to see. When his eyes widened, he was surprised, his blood was ignited, and the beast blood was boiling. When he was about to ask for the price, Lin Yi said lightly, "I'm sorry, I won't sell it!"

Damn, why do you take it out if you don’t sell it?

What's the secret to you if you don't sell it?

If you don't sell you... you are so bad!

Although Guo Zixing is a book vendor, he is not the kind of book vendor with temperament. Of course, he usually tries to pretend to be very temperamental. But now, under Lin Yi's very dirty and artificial behavior, Guo Zixing's gentle temperament that he had finally accumulated was gone, and his old face was full of discomfort.

"Little brother, you are not authentic now. Why don't you sell it? Show treasures or tease me on purpose?" His tone was not kind.

Lin Yi was still so sad and calm, and Guo Zixing didn't understand why he was so gloomy at such a young age and how he practiced it. Even if he beat the mother into the womb, he wouldn't be so deep. But he didn't know that Lin Yi had already controlled his emotions through his sensitive sense of smell, knew him well, and knew him well, so of course he was extremely calm.

"Brother Guo, don't say that. The reason why I took it out is mainly to let you appreciate it--you are an old player, a senior, and my respected elder brother. I am not talented, and I am just a treasure that can be taken out. After you have seen it, I will take it back and hide it as the treasure of the store that will open in the future... So please forgive me."

What this said is reasonable and well-founded, and it is simply an old freak.

Guo Zixing couldn't help but look up to Lin Yi a little more.

"Ahem, it's mainly because I'm happy to see Master Liu---You don't know. I'm a comic book collection. I've been playing with it for decades. Now I've only seen such treasures. No matter how I say it, I've been thinking about it. I can't even pull it out even if I want to.---It's better to do this. As long as this thing is genuine, it's really a masterpiece by Master Liu, I'm willing to buy it at a high price---How about it, little brother, as long as you are willing to give up, you can just pay for it!" After saying this, Guo Zixing looked at Lin Yi eagerly, waiting for him to let go.

Lin Yi was still like a grass egg, and took a leisurely sip of mineral water. Guo Zixing was anxious and snatched his mineral water and drank it all in one breath, then said to Lin Yi: "I'm sorry, my brother is thirsty."

Lin Yi: “…”

Without drinking mineral water, he changed his fingers and knocked on the table. It made Guo Zixing upset.

Finally, Lin Yi looked embarrassed and hesitant, then looked at Guo Zixing emotionally, and then said, "Brother Guo, although he doesn't have much contact with you, he also knows that you are a good person, and good people should be rewarded..."

Ahem, why do you sound so terrible?

Guo Zixing twisted his neck.

"I can't do anything more. At most, I sincerely transfer this set of drawings to you, which can be regarded as a good relationship. Let's interact more in the future. Maybe I will still have some use for you in the future." Lin Yi said this very implicitly, but the message released was "I am willing to give it up."

Guo Zixing was happy, this is what he was waiting for.

He has a greater likeness for Lin Yi, and he thinks that this is a kind person, a person who values ​​feelings, is easily moved by friendship. His previous misunderstanding of him is ashamed.

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. Brother, I'll definitely pay for a friend like you---you can give this set of drawings a price!" Guo Zixing said boldly.

Lin Yi is also heroic, "One million!"

After a thump, Guo Zixing almost fell down.

Although he guessed that Lin Yi might speak loudly, he didn't expect that he had such a big appetite.

After finally sorting out his emotions, Guo Zixing stared at Lin Yi with a sad look.

Lin Yi looked at the nose and the heart with his eyes, and began to tap the table with his fingers, slap, slap.

"Brother, you're not kidding, one million, this is not a small amount." Guo Zixing said earnestly, "It's not my brother, I'll tell you, the quotation is a bit high."

Lin Yi smiled, smiling very kindly, making people feel very comfortable. He said, "That's very sorry, Brother Guo, take it away, if you can't take it out, let's contact you more in the future. I'll keep this treasure for you." After that, Lin Yi stood up, put the draft on his hand, and the 6,000 yuan he earned today, leaving Guo Zixing with a charming smile, and then left.

Guo Zixing was still in his original position, looking at the "baby" in the fish-skin bag, he felt that compared to the drawings that Lin Yi had taken away, he was not even a big deal.

...

Weekend, another weekend.

Lin Yi got up very early in the morning as usual, and his sister cooked corn sprouts, two plates of pickles and a few steamed buns.

Because it was a weekend, the little girl Zhao Baoer rarely slept in and was still sleeping soundly with the "Beautiful Sheep" doll.

My brother-in-law Zhao Gang got up very early because he had to work overtime, but his face had never been very good to Lin Yi. Although he sat on the same dining table, he looked very serious.

Lin Yi drank a bowl of porridge casually, and then gave the 1,000 yuan to his sister and said, "This is some money I have earned these days, as food and accommodation expenses."

Lin Xue was not willing to ask for it, but Zhao Gang next to him grabbed it and said, "Why don't you want it? The food and drinks are not all that fell from the sky. Besides, he might have put the money in his hands and may have been wasted again."

Seeing this, Lin Yi just smiled, said, "I'll go to the Temple of Wealth", and left.

Later, Lin Xue complained about her husband hard, but Zhao Gang sneered at Lin Yi's back, "Become a rich man in front of me, and wait for you to get me one million one day!"

...

The Nandu God of Wealth Temple is still crowded with people, and it is very lively. There are street stalls selling antiques, shouting and selling calligraphy and paintings, and buying and selling red collections, such as the chairman's seal, red books, bullet shells, helmets, military water bottles... There are a wide variety of people, all over the ground.

Lin Yi still entered the Temple of Wealth and headed straight to the old book market in the inner courtyard.

As the saying goes, early birds eat insects. After so many years of the meeting in the Temple of Wealth, many scholars who are obsessed with Taobao have developed the habit of getting up early Taobao.

Often at around seven o'clock, those who sell books pour out sacks of old books on the spot, and they see those who buy books rushing to grab them in a hurry, fearing that they would not get a good treasure after one step slower.

In this case, Lao Yuan, known as the number one in the collection of "Nandu Zhishu", acted the fastest and most nimble. Although he was in his fifties, short and bald head, he was like a little wild horse with a reincarnation when he grabbed the book. He either carried it with his legs or head, and squeezed others aside. He grabbed it with his hands, only churning a bunch of old books to the sky.

Soon, he gained something. He found a 16-published book from a large number of old books, a mimeographed version, and a preliminary review of 1987. Such books have very few prints and are highly informative, with very detailed excavations of ancient tombs and archaeological cultural relics. They are treasures that Lao Yuan has always liked.

However, this time Lao Yuan met his opponent. This time the book seller was Wang Heizi among the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the used book stall. Everyone was unlucky and his heart was also unlucky. He knew that Lao Yuan liked this, so he directly offered a high price of 100 yuan.

Old Yuan Taoshu has always been stingy. In terms of his philosophy of Taobao, he spends the least money and can find the best books. According to rumors, from Taobao to now, there has been more than 5,000 books, and no book has exceeded 50 yuan. In other words, the maximum limit for Taobao is fifty.

So, Lao Yuan took the book and started a long-lasting bargaining war with Wang Heizi.

There are lucky people, and there are unlucky people. A guy named Huangfu was stomped on his hand while catching a book and scolded him. People just laughed.

Anyone who knows him knows that this guy is a generation of "strange" in the old book market. He likes to buy old books, but what he buys are all junk books, which has no collection value. Often, when he buys too much, he finds something wrong, so he puts a few sacks on it and carries it to the Temple of Fortune to sell. Unfortunately, buying books is easy and difficult to sell. His books are often difficult to sell for more than half a month. In the end, he buys old books for five yuan, sells for one yuan, and sells for two yuan for ten yuan, and only loses money but doesn't make a profit - but he still enjoys it and becomes "two balls" behind his back (dialect, idiom means fool). Some people even directly call him "Huangfu Er balls".

At this moment, "Huangfu Erqiu" turned into a "fighting cock" with a red face and a thick neck, and shouted loudly at the person who stepped on his hand. The people next to him were watching the fun while continuing to search for old books happily.

In this situation, Lin Yi often likes to hold his hands behind his back and watch everyone rushing towards a bunch of old books leisurely. When everyone's energy passes, he slowly reads through the bunch of old books a few times. Of course, he often has no harvest.

Lin Yi didn't care much about this. Originally, he came to the Temple of Wealth this time to buy books, but wanted to inquire about the market of comic strips.

As a rookie in the old book market, Lin Yi felt that he did not have enough understanding of old books. Although he knew that comic strips are very popular now and have been listed in one of the four major collections, as famous as antique jade calligraphy and paintings, he became the darling of many collectors, but he still lacked his understanding of comic strips. He only knew that many good comic strips could be sold at a high price.

To put it bluntly, many people, like Lin Yi, have a sense of comic strips that can be sold for a lot of money. As for which type can be sold for money and which type has artistic value, they don’t know anything.

A person, a leaf covers the eyes, and the leaf covers the eyes is often our most common money.

The reason why Lin Yi asked Guo Zixing for a "one million" last time was that his eyes were blinded by money. When he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. The main reason was that he didn't know the value of the painted manuscript "Wu Song Fighting the Tiger" in his hand.

Guo Zixing didn't call here these days, which made Lin Yi a little anxious, wondering if the other party was scared by him and wanted to give up these drawings. Of course, these drawings are definitely good things, but for people like Lin Yi who have no job and are not even full of food in their homes, no matter how good the things are, it is useless to keep in their hands, so Lin Yi was very anxious to take action.

Not far away, Dong Yanjing, who had just finished setting up the stall, was bragging with He Xiangu, Liu Sanliang and others. The bragging of her is of course the heroic deeds he made for Lin Yi last time. In his story, he was wise and powerful, earned hundreds of dollars from Lin Yi, a fool, with only a little cost. Then he was very proud to drink mutton soup for three consecutive days, and it was fresh tender beef...

Just as Dong Jingjing was blowing her a lot, He Xiangu curled her mouth and said to him: "Stop bragging, your 'mutton soup' is here."
