Genius One Second Remember If You Want To Go? To provide you with wonderful novels to read.
When Li He came back, he met Master Qin again. It wasn't strange to see him a few times a day. This old man was just strolling around.
"Why don't you go to the doorstep and chat with them? Aren't you bored being alone?"
Old Qin said, "I can't talk to them, it's boring."
Li He smiled and left. This old man was quite serious. He even chose people to chat with. He wasn't very willing to chat with people who didn't know how to speak Beijing English. In Beijing, other than the average old man and old lady who could speak authentic Beijing English, young people could only speak the so-called Beijing English, which wasn't the real Beijing English.
Words like "borrow" and "stand aside" were rarely spoken by young people. The words "top" were replaced with "pretty good".
Only the unique Erhuayin still had a bit of Beijing accent.
First, Mandarin was now being promoted. The salespeople in the store were all learning it. Even the crosstalk conventions were in Mandarin. Second, there were indeed a lot of foreigners before and after liberation. There were all kinds of people from all over the country.
After class, the atmosphere in the office was different, even though there were only four people.
Didn't they just get a raise? Why were they sighing again?
"Comparisons are odious," Chen Yun said, gritting her teeth.
Li He asked with a smile, "What's going on?"
Yang Hao said, "This time, the chemistry department is too much. It's supposed to be an 'Advanced Physics and Chemistry Experimental Research Class'. Isn't there physics? But the teachers are all from the five departments of physics, catalysis, material structure, polymers and isotopes. It has nothing to do with physics, so why are they using the name of physics? "
"What did Professor Wu say?" Li He first wanted to figure out what the higher-ups were thinking. This research class was commissioned by the Ministry of Education, so the benefits were obvious. On the surface, it was a matter of allowance, but in fact, it was a matter of qualifications. If he could participate in this project, his file would be much better.
Chen Yun said, "The class has already started, what's the point of talking about this? Professor Wu has been busy with teaching materials recently and didn't have time to interfere."
Li He nodded and didn't say anything else. This kind of good thing wouldn't happen to him anyway, so it was useless to worry.
Chen Yun then asked Li He in private, "You're not contacting her anymore?"
"Who?" Li He really didn't understand.
Chen Yun said snappily, "Who else could it be? The one from Director Jiang's family."
Li He smiled. "How long has it been? You're still thinking about it."
Chen Yun was a little disappointed and said fiercely, "You really don't know how to cherish the opportunity. In this reorganization, Director Jiang has entered the assets office. If you become his son-in-law, you can choose as many positions as you want in the school-run factory. You're really infuriating."
The school had quite a lot of assets, and it was indeed a lucrative position. The most famous one was the Fangzheng typesetting system, but it had yet to be put on the market.
"Thank you, but not every toad wants to eat a swan."
Chen Yun giggled, "How can you compare yourself to a toad? Alright, I'm going to class. Talking to you is just a waste of breath."
The school was very active every day, and there were all kinds of strange clubs being established every day. Li He couldn't remember all of them.
However, the conditions of these students were much better than those of Li He's. Even without the school's subsidy, they could still work part-time outside the school.
Many students were working in the village tractor station, brick factory, clothing factory, repair factory, and other enterprises with the title of deputy director, deputy manager, or consultant. Those who studied economics helped with sales and cost accounting, and those who studied science and technology provided some technical support.
Li He didn't know the inside story, but he knew that the students who were capable had more money.
Mu Yan came to look for Li He and accompanied him to the old book stall.
The old book stalls were usually around Longfu Temple and Liulichang. In the early years, one couldn't enter without a letter of introduction and a household register. Two years ago, a university built a new library and swept away all the books in the old book stalls and bookstores. There were more than a hundred bookshelves, which caused a long period of lack of stock.
Li He didn't verify it, so it was hard to tell the truth.
Mu Yan wanted to take the tram, but Li He said, "I'll ride the motorcycle."
Mu Yan smiled and said, "That's good."
"Then to Liulichang or Panjiayuan? There are more books there. "
Mu Yan said, "You don't understand, right? All the good books are at Longfu Temple and Ditan Book Market. Liulichang sells some small toys and collectibles. Panjiayuan's price is a bit low, so I won't go. But let's go to Longfu Temple today, it's closer. "
The two of them rode the motorcycle to Longfu Temple.
There were many people near Longfu Temple, so it wasn't convenient to ride the bike. Li He parked the bike on the side of the road, and the two of them entered the street.
The shops and stalls on both sides of the road were all selling old books. Some of them might not be old books, but they might be pirated books.
Some people only came to buy old books because they wanted it to be cheap, while some people had the intention to pick up the leftovers. They would always find a rare treasure in the vast sea, and finding a single book was their favorite.
Li He was here to accompany Mu Yan. Wherever Mu Yan went, he would follow.
Mu Yan walked and stopped in front of an old man's stall. He asked the old man, "How many copies of this book are there?"
The old man opened a table of contents, pointed at it for a while, and said, "19 books."
Li He saw that Mu Yan was trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart. Maybe he didn't want the old man to see it and take the opportunity to raise the price.
"Master, I'll take all 19 books, give me a price."
The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "45 yuan, take all of them."
Sure enough, he was going to be slaughtered.
Mu Yan said, "Master, give me a real price, 30 yuan. This book is only valuable in the hands of people who like it, it's worthless to those who don't like it."
"40 yuan." The old man also gave in a little.
“30！”， Mu Yan continued to bargain, "If you're not selling, then we're leaving!"
After saying that, he pulled Li He to leave, but the old man quickly stopped him, "Forget it, I'll sell it to you. It's hard to do business. It'll be great if I meet one or two people like you every day!"
That didn't sound right!
Mu Yan asked first, "Master, it's not worth this price, right? Otherwise, why would you say that? "
"You misunderstood me! I'm saying that if I meet one or two people like you every day, I'll just lower the price to the lowest. The problem is that everyone who comes here to buy books is cutting it down bit by bit! "
Both Mu Yan and Li He wouldn't haggle. As for whether they were cheated or not, only the boss himself would know.
Mu Yan gave the money without hesitation. Li He saw that Mu Yan didn't have much money in his pocket. It would be good if he still had 10 yuan left after spending the 30 yuan.
The old man found a woven bag and put all the books in it.
After walking a few steps, Mu Yan said excitedly, "The 50 yuan is worth it. This Old Tang Book is an old edition from Zhonghua Book Company. It's almost impossible to find it in the market. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's the only copy."
The two of them continued to walk a few rounds, and Mu Yan was reluctant to leave another stall. It was a handwritten copy of Emperor Kangxi's Juye County Annals. The stall owner asked for 150 RMB. Mu Yan touched his pocket and was speechless.
Li He whispered to Mu Yan, "You can bargain and see how much more you need. I have money in my pocket."
In the end, Mu Yan bargained to 70 yuan. He took the money from Li He and happily bought the book.
Li He said, "I finally know where you spend your salary. No wonder you complain about being poor all the time."
Mu Yan smiled, "I'm just itching for money. I can't help it."
"Shall we go back?"
"You should buy one too. You can't just buy with me. You like to practice calligraphy. I'll buy a brush with you. Trust me, you won't make a loss. "
After a few turns, he brought Li He to a four treasures shop. Li He said, "I've never been here before."
Mu Yan went straight in and didn't look around. He seemed to be familiar with the stall owner. He asked for a brush and handed it to Li He with a smile, "It's made in the late Ming Dynasty. It's perfect for the Youthful Physique."
Li He took it in his hand and looked at it. It was actually a brush with an orchid carved on it. Bamboo brushes were fragile and hard to preserve, so it was rare to find one that had been passed down to the present day. It would be a waste to use it. Later on, a brush would cost at least 50 or 60 million yuan.
"How much?" Li He asked the stall owner.
The stall owner was in his fifties. He smiled and said, "Xiao Mu introduced it to me. I'll give you 120 yuan."
Li He paid without hesitation. He didn't think it was expensive at all, even though the ordinary brush on the market was only 50 cents a yuan.
The stall owner also praised him for his knowledge.
Li He and Mu Yan both got something, so they were happy when they went back.
