Although Lin Yi couldn't accept the New Year pictures in the store because they were too expensive, it did not mean that there were no other treasures in the bookstore.

Lin Yi's eyes moved from the beautiful old pictures and old paintings on the walls. He saw that the entire bookstore was about 50 square meters in area, and six large bookshelfs were placed on all four walls. The bookshelf were all very old solid wood bookshelf, bulky and wide, and could withstand heavy things. At this moment, it was filled with various books, and it was roughly estimated that it would be no less than ten thousand books.

Seeing so many books, Lin Yi's heart became more and more enthusiastic, thinking that there will always be some valuable things in so many books.

Lin Yi is a stubborn book lover and a master of old books. If he had to carefully examine old books when he first entered the industry, he would have to search for old books, then now, there is no need.

After roughly scanning the bookshelf, Lin Yi could almost confirm how valuable these books are.

By category, Hong Kong version of martial arts novels account for about 30%, such as Gu Long, Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng's... However, the quality of those books is not very good. It can be seen from a big eye that is about seventy-five. According to the principle of Lin Yitao's books, unless they are extremely rare and rare versions, the quality of the books must be strictly controlled, because only books with good looks have great collection value. The reason is very simple, and no one will collect some dilapidated and valuable old books.

Lin Yi took out a book called "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and found that these books should be "rental books". Because the title pages of many martial arts books contain the rental date, and some even have seals - "The one who teasses the book is the one who has a skin".

Originally, Lin Yi was quite interested in these martial arts novels, but when he saw the big red seal that cursed people and sweared, he directly gave up his thoughts.

Just as Lin Yi was moving his position and preparing to go to another bookshelf to flip through, a commotion came from around him, alarming him.

At this time, there were not too many people in the entire bookstore. There were only two old men reading old books here. In addition, they were an old woman in her fifties, probably the wife of "Ashui Bo".

The bookstore business in Macau may be really difficult to do. The old woman doesn’t care about the store’s business. She sat on her chair and took needles and threads to embroider “cross stitch”. This kind of craft is very popular among mainland women, but she didn’t expect that she could still see it when she came to Macau.

Because of the distance, Lin Yi didn't know what she was embroidering. However, I heard that the "cross stitch" is very powerful now. There are super large "Great Wall" and "Twelve Beauties of Jinling" in the mainland, and each one can sell for 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

Let’s look at the two old men who are looking for old books, one is fat and the other is thin, which makes each other look interesting, just like the fat and thin headed in "The Deer and the Cauldron".

During this period, the two seemed to have liked several books, but unfortunately, the owner of the shop owner A Shui Bo went out. The old woman who embroidered the "cross-stitch" always managed the old books with "the maid took the keys---the head was not the leader." Although the book was weighed in the hands of the two, she couldn't buy it for the time being, and she was unwilling to accept it.

The thin old man pinched the book in his hand and secretly looked at Lin Yi who was browsing old books. Then he whispered to the fat old man in Cantonese: "Why should we hide it first? (It's better to hide it first)?"

The fat old man naturally agreed. Of course, he also quietly looked at Lin Yi. Seeing that Lin Yi had no reaction, he felt at ease.

In fact, many people who like to buy books have basically done this. When buying books, the boss who can make decisions is not at home, and is afraid that these good books will be taken away by others, so they find a place to hide the books first, and then take them out and trade them when the boss comes back next time.

But these two old men were too sneaky, which made Lin Yi curious.

As I said just now, there are six large bookshelfs in the bookstore. The books on the bookshelf are arranged in four rows inside and outside. Leng Ding can't recognize them. After several measurements, she kept her breath in the room. The fat old man was a little reluctant and took out a corner of the books inside the shelf with a chest height, put the carefully selected four books in it, and then put a list of vague books outside back to its original position. He was conceited: With the obstruction of the dilapidated books, the four books will be safe.

But Lin Yi saw all his actions.

The thin old man was almost seventy years old. At this moment, the old guy stood on tiptoe and threw two books hard towards the top of the bookshelf. The other one with a thick hardcover book that was less than 32 books was hidden where it was. The remaining two books fell to the heights. One of them, which looked like a coated paper, showed a little in the hidden place. He jumped up several times, as if he was "cheering", and he couldn't make a book with his hands. After that, he seemed to pick up something casually and patted it up hard. After a few "huffs" sounds in his mouth, the book was completely hidden.

The fat and thin two were satisfied, looking at each other and smiling at the same time. In Lin Yi's opinion, their smiles may be a bit naughty. If a child hides food secretly, I wonder if he will smile like this.

Finally, the thin old man clapped his hands and summarized the behavior in standard Cantonese, with a total of two words: "Take it!"

But the fat old man looked at Lin Yi again with great vigilance, observing whether he had made any special actions and whether he had seen their collection of books...

Lin Yi looked like a fool, and was still browsing the book in his hand as if no one was around.

Seeing this, the fat old man blinked his little eyes and then felt relieved.

...

"Sister-in-law, we're back first, wait for A Shui to come back before coming, you're busy, don't get up. (Sister-in-law, we're back first, wait for A Shui to come back before coming back, you're busy, don't get up anymore." The two of them greeted the old woman who was guarding the shop together, and then left with their hands behind their backs and laughing.

As soon as the two of them left like this, Lin Yi whizzed and came to their "study store".

There is no way, Lin Yi was so curious that he really didn't know what precious book they found, but he was so hard and laborious.

Lin Yi first found the four books hidden by the fat old man. The four books were so "idiot" hidden behind a pile of tattered old books, and it was easy to find them.

Finding the name, Lin Yi was stunned----

The first book, "Sex Science", is written in traditional Chinese at the bottom of the cover. "This book is a popular reading for introductory science, which describes the sexual sciences of Britain, the United States, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, and the Soviet Union since the 19th century, and provides relevant information on international science."

The second book, "Aesthetics and Gender Culture", introduces the content, "This book makes a realistic analysis and pertinent explanation of the relationship between beauty and sex from the perspective of scientific rationality, including human aesthetics and biological instincts, gender roles and aesthetic modalities, and gender culture and aesthetic consciousness in China and the West."

The third book is "Sexual Health Books", the fourth book is "Chinese Odor and Emotional Skills". These two books are pirated versions, and they are pirated mainland books.

Among them, "Sexual Health Books" should be published by Northwest University Press. The author is Changqing, and it is probably another pseudonym. The content is to stew the mess of sexual health in ancient China into a pot, such as Taoism, Tibetan, and circulated in the novels of the past dynasties. They are all refinished and repaired.

"Chinese Strange and Emotional Skills" is a high-selling book. It was sold in the mainland back then. It is said that it sold million copies. The author is "Luo Xuanji". The content is really "Skills", such as "Myanmar Bell", "Mr. Jiao", Taoist picking and repairing everything, and they all sorted it out.

After reading the four books hidden by the fat old man, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, "Who said fat people don't like to study? Look at what books are hidden by this fat man? It's really a person who is old and has no heart.

Lin Yi was not interested in such books, so he hid the four books in their original locations, just waiting for the fat old man to come and discover them.

Lin Yi turned around and began to look for the books hidden by the thin old man. I have to say that compared to the simpler books collected by the fat old man, it is really hard to find what the thin old man has collected.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was tall enough and took a small bench. He easily found two books he had hidden from the bookshelf. The one with 16-open copper plate was actually "Colorful Picture Medicinal Diet Therapy", and the other was "Nine Methods of Ancient Food Replenishment". The content was basically about how to cook ingredients, replenish qi and nourish blood. Unlike the books in the mainland, these two books have very detailed food calorie measurements, which look like a "combination of Chinese and Western" style.

If I remember it well, it seems that the skinny old man also hid a thick hardcover book, but Lin Yi couldn't find it for a while. However, after Lin Yi carefully searched for the place where the skinny old man had been, he soon found it.

I thought it was also a "medicine food" or something, but when I took it out, I was shocked. Damn it, it turned out to be "Jin Ping Mei"!
