"Ji Nian, do you want to buy books?" Hu Li squatted down curiously and looked through the old books in front of him and asked.

"Flip it around casually." Ji Nian smiled, lowered her head and continued to look around.

It is unrealistic to read all the books in a short time. There are too many old books here. But the vital energy in the palm of your palm can only indicate the general direction, and there is no way to be accurate. Unless you find the book you want and let your hands touch it, the vital energy in the palm of your palm can be swallowed.

The dense old books piled up together, making Hu Li look overwhelmed.

"Boss, how do you sell the books here?" Ji Nian picked up one of them and asked.

"They are sold by pound, and they cost six yuan per pound." The owner of the book stall is a thin man in his thirties, wearing a gray shirt and sunglasses. When he heard Ji Nian's question, he responded casually.

"Six yuan per pound? Can books be sold by pound?" Hu Li said in surprise.

"Do you think it is ancient times? Any book in ancient times will be excerpted and read by countless readers. But now it is the era of economic development, and books are probably the most valuable thing. Who would care about these things? It would be normal to sell them by weight." Ji Nian explained with emotion.

"Then do you want to buy it?" Hu Li asked.

"Buy." Ji Nian must buy it. Since the vitality in his palm is pointed here, it means that there must be isolated and rare books in these books, and there is nothing else except this reason.

Books in this era are worthless, they are talking about modern printed materials all over the streets. But when it comes to rare books, they are antiques themselves, and they will definitely be flocking to them. As long as you can find a rare book from these old books, you will be lucky enough to get a big gap.

Mr. Lu Xun once said in "Collected Letters to Zheng Zhenduo": "The lonely book is valued by the world, and the newly translated one is despised by others." This shows the value of the lonely book.

"Hu Li, I guess I have to take some time to look for it. If you feel bored, go and take a walk around." Ji Nian said with a smile.

"Okay, then you can choose slowly, I'll go over there and take a look." Hu Li was too lazy to read the book, so she turned around and walked towards a street stall opposite.

Ji Nian twisted his neck, stomped his feet on the ground, and began to look for it with great energy. Although there were many old books, since it was within this range, even if he was read one by one, he would do it.

In the bright sunshine, a handsome young man in his prime squatted by the book stall, fussing through old books. He swept through each book and then changed the next one. He understood that only when he encountered that kind of rare book, his palm energy would accelerate.

The first row fails from beginning to end.

Second row, failed reads;.

The third row, failed.

...

The owner of the book stall looked at Ji Nian who kept flirting books not far away, frowned speechlessly, shook his head and was too lazy to pay attention. Anyway, they were all worthless old books, and they forgot where they collected them at that time, and they were all sold without much money. If you have the skill of staring at old books, you might as well make more money by selling more picture albums and magazines.

At the end of the sixth row, just as Ji Nian was about to continue to turn the seventh row, suddenly his body trembled slightly, his fingers when he touched a book became hot, and the vital energy in his palm turned into a black hole, and it began to swallow it whistled, and suddenly a trace of vital energy was drawn out from an old book.

It was this book. When the energy and energy of the palm was still not fulfilling, Ji Nian carefully pulled out an old book. This was an old book that could not be seen at all on the surface. Its thickness was almost equivalent to a Xinhua dictionary, but the writing was quite large.

Just by reading this, Ji Nian didn't know the background of this book at all, but since it could be targeted by the energy of the palm, I believe it is definitely not simple, so Ji Nian picked it up and read it carefully.

After the energy in his palm was replenished, he calmed down again. Ji Nian was sure that there was nothing worth paying attention to except this book, so he took out a few more books and stood up directly and raised his head to the owner of the book stall.

"Boss, I have four books in total, so let's not call them. I guess only three pounds, can I give you twenty?"

"No problem, twenty is twenty." The owner of the book stall said happily.

After clearing the money and goods, the book stall owner grinned and showed his yellow teeth.

"Little brother, you look like a cultural person who likes reading. Do you like old books? Come to me again in the future and tell you that I will come to a batch of them in almost a month, and maybe you will meet the ones you like. If you come again, I can make it cheaper for you and take care of my business more."

"No problem, I'll buy it for you next time." Ji Nian said happily.

Bang! Just as Ji Nian was about to leave with a book, a familiar scream suddenly came from his ears, followed by a crisp sound of porcelain collision. He quickly looked over the sound and found that Hu Li was screaming in surprise at the stall not far away, and at her feet was a blue and white porcelain vase that bumped the bottle's mouth.

Ji Nian rushed over quickly.

"Hu Li, are you okay?" Ji Nian asked anxiously by holding Hu Li's arm.

"I'm fine. I was just shocked by a cat passing by here just now, and then accidentally knocked the vase down." Hu Li patted her chest with lingering fear and explained, "It's all the blame for the cat that it didn't come early or late." When she turned around, she happened to step on its tail, and then she was shocked and knocked down the vase.

"Well, it's fine." Ji Nian comforted.

"Hi, she's fine, but I'm in trouble here. I'll tell you two, you've seen it too. My vase was broken by this lady, so I'll definitely not be able to sell it. You two either bought it or just lost money."

The street stall owner was a vulgar old man wearing a sun hat and a goatee. He glanced at Hu Li with his slanted eyes, and his eyes showed a cunning light. Anyone who knew him knew that this guy was going to take advantage again.

In Maoyan Hutong, anyone who mentions porcelain Zhanglai will say, don’t deal with this guy when you are idle, maybe you will be sold one day. This is definitely a selfish and unscrupulous businessman who can make money and do anything.

For example, now.

"Sorry, since this vase was damaged by us, we will naturally pay for it. I want to ask, how much does this vase cost?" Ji Nian's eyes moved slightly when he looked at the blue and white porcelain vase, and his heart beat rapidly uncontrollably, and asked with a smile.

"This blue and white porcelain vase is not simple. It is authentic Jingdezhen fired. Let me tell you, this is the treasure of the stall on my street stall. This is from the Song Dynasty..." The porcelain began to hypnotize, and everyone who heard this sneered at it.

Hu Li couldn't help but frown.

The vase was damaged by her, and she was willing to compensate her, but this does not mean that you can make a random offer. It is Song Dynasty porcelain that opens her mouth. This is too cruel. If that is the case, would you put a piece of Song porcelain at the door?

"you?"

Hu Li wanted to open his mouth to fight back, but Ji Nian reached out to stop him. He squatted down and held the blue and white porcelain vase in his hand, interrupted the porcelain and said directly: "Boss, don't treat us as suckers. We admit that the vase was bumped by us, and we didn't pat our butt and leave. Since we are willing to buy it, what else do you want? We have to ask for a price all over the place?"

"Believe it or not, as long as you dare to say it is Song Ci, I will report it immediately to the Market Management Office. Let's take it to the appraisal center. If you really say it is Song Ci, we will buy it for a lot of money, but if it weren't for what you said, boss, if we reveal this matter, can you still do business in Maoyan Hutong in the future?"

"Oh, I didn't see that my little brother is good. OK. Since you say that, I'll be happy too. Take the vase for 1,000 yuan." The boss's heart skipped a beat, and then changed his face and said with a smile.

"One thousand yuan is a bit expensive, but you are still not honest enough. If you ask me to say that you can buy it for a hundred yuan." Ji Nian shook his head and said.

"One hundred? Is there anyone who bargained like this? Let's do it, I'll give in, nine hundred."

"Nine hundred? Do you think we can take out nine hundred people? To be honest, we are still students, have you heard of poor students? Have you seen that I just bought books sold by pounds. Two hundred, there can be no more."

"Students have to reason even if they touch things, right? I am kind-hearted, seven hundred."

"three hundred."

“Six hundred.”

"All the price is five hundred, okay, we will take it away. If not, we will sue."

"Are you really a student? Are there any students who can bargain like this? OK, just follow what you said, "Just 500, just treat it as if I was suffering a loss."

Ji Nian put the blue and white porcelain vase on the ground casually and said that he wanted to get his wallet. How could Hu Li ask him to pay for it? He quickly counted out five red bills and handed them over with a little unwillingness.

After taking the money, the porcelain twirled with a smile, and confirmed that it was all real money, so he smiled.

"Young man, be careful in your work in the future and don't be so rude anymore. Do you want me to find a box for you to pack it so you can get it."

"Forget it, I know what happened to this vase. It's like this. Do you really think I'll put it at home as a decoration? Let me tell you, I'll smash it when I left Maoyan Hutong." Ji Nian glanced over and said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Hehe, let it go, oh, boss, I'll introduce it to you if you like something." Zi Qi Zhang no longer paid attention to Ji Nian and the other two, and immediately turned around to greet other guests.

"Let's go."

Ji Nian said that and left Hu Li. This happened. Hu Li's mood suddenly became very bad. He looked at the vase and didn't make a fuss. "That boss is clearly trying to cheat us. You really give him money. Buy a broken vase all over the street for 500 yuan. I really want to smash it."

"Do you really want to smash it?" Ji Nian suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"Think." Hu Li nodded without hesitation.

"Come with me."

After saying that, Ji Nian took Hu Li to the distance and turned into a remote and abandoned alley. The actions he made immediately made Hu Li stunned for a moment.
