"It was agreed that Yang Ling treats to dinner and sings to sing. Where are you now?"

Sun Ruiqi's sudden call made Zhang Chu a little surprised. He almost completely forgot these things. .

On Wednesday, Yang Ling talked about this incident and invited gay friends to dinner on her birthday on the weekend, but Zhang Chu forgot it directly!

So he quickly stood up and walked to the entrance to change his shoes, "Here you come, you send me the address, I'll come here."

"We have already ordered food at the barbecue restaurant in Ximen. If you come here, order what you want to eat."

"Okay, okay, I'll come here soon!"

Zhang Chu brought the key in his bag, and he gently closed the door and headed towards the elevator.

This morning, I attended the French Literature and Art Knight Award, and in the afternoon, I went to Hanlin Cultural Media to follow up on the company's progress. I really forgot Yang Ling's birthday.

Now that he didn't choose a birthday gift, he decided to go to the cake shop to buy a finished cake directly, and maybe he could go to the bookstore to buy an out-of-print book.

He had ordered takeaway before, but now everyone has already received orders and made it, so Zhang Chu could only ask the deliveryman to put the takeaway at the door.

He did not go directly to the barbecue restaurant, but drove to the oldest nearby Dazhong Temple!

The owner of this bookstore is very knowledgeable and a scholarly person. He speaks and talks very well, sells books with narcissism, and has a very high price.

But the books here are very complete, all of which are very interesting works.

Zhang Chu was wandering around Yanjing City before and accidentally ran into it. He collected a lot of good books in one breath, so this time he went straight to the bookstore.

For bookworms, the joy of finding a good book is indescribable, especially since this book has long been extinct in the world for many years!

This feeling is like Alibaba accidentally opened the robber’s treasure hole, how could he be so ecstatic!

Of course, this kind of out-of-print good book is not a high-end collection of rare books from the Ming and Qing dynasties or Gu Cipai Huang's postscript. After all, these are all VIPs at auctions and are not something that ordinary people can covet.

The out-of-print books in this bookstore are all the gadgets that the bookstore owners spend their energy searching, and luck brings them to their attention.

There are three outstanding works in the collection of ancient books, namely Gu Chuang, Huang Post and Mao Copy.

The so-called Gu Criticism is Gu Qianli’s proofreading, Huang Pilie’s inscriptions and Mao Jin’s Ji Gu Pavilion manuscripts.

"Boss Liu, do you have any new products here?" Zhang Chu asked as soon as he entered the door. He spent a lot of money in this bookstore!

Those who collect it have to be willing to spend money, so Zhang Chu, a young man who looks like a fat sheep, once bought several out-of-print books here and put them home.

Zhang Chu has a wide range of knowledge. When he was in Jiangcheng, Zhang Bowen collected old books for a while, so he also had a simple understanding of the value of these books.

The owner of the bookstore wearing glasses raised his eyes from the yellowed books. After seeing Zhang Chu's appearance, he spoke: "There are a few books that have been collected, one is "How Iron and Steel" printed in 1952, and "A Collection of State Banquet Recipes", and the same one is "The Adventures of Little Butou" there."

Zhang Chu carefully picked up this book full of the characteristics of the times, for fear of breaking the paper. "How Steel Is Made" is a well-known red classic across the country, and has influenced several generations of Chinese people.

What’s special about this out-of-print book is that it was the first Chinese translation released after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. At that time, it was a vertical version of traditional Chinese characters. The cover and illustrations of the book were very contemporary, and it can be seen that it has been a while!

As for the collection of national banquet recipes, it is a little closer. It was published by the People's and the Grand Hall in 1984 and was published internally, with a very limited number.

This collection describes the recipes for hundreds of state banquet dishes in detail, and also comes with 10 commonly used menus for state banquets. Zhang Chu fell in love with them at a glance. These pictures look like they are all full of colors, fragrance and flavor!

For an invisible foodie, it is very interesting to collect such a substantial recipe. He thought that he could find a chef to help him cook some food every day according to the above method.

I can eat one dish a day for more than a year!

However, some of the raw materials inside are already difficult to find, such as bear's paw, shark fin and civets. Some things are illegal.

"This book must be won!"

Everyone who loves food will not miss it. Whether it is collected by yourself or compared with cooking, it is a good choice.

Prices are second to the point here. Isn’t Zhang Chuxin working hard to make so much money just to be able to buy and eat happily?

At this time, the bookstore owner handed over another book. The kraft paper was written with the title "The Adventures of Little Cloth Head" in art words. The dark blue ink looked like it was useless.

"Hey, this is not printed?"

After Zhang Chu opened the page, he saw that the title page was written in pencil with the words "Manuscript, no loan" and the lower left is a signature from "1962".

"This is a unique book. It was born in the 1960s. There are six children's handwritten manuscripts. There are nearly 100,000 words on 182 pages, all of which are handwritten by pens. These are the names of the six children. Now they should be called the old man!"

Zhang Chu read the contents behind him casually. Some of the handwriting was neat and beautiful, and some were young and lame. Obviously, there were many copywriters.

The most eye-catching thing is the more than 100 hand-written pencil illustrations in the book. Although they are not meticulous, their expressions and movements are very vivid and they are very talented in painting!

Zhang Chu guessed in his head that maybe one day in 1962, a few children saw a fairy tale book called "The Adventures of Little Butou", but this book was not theirs, so they chose to copy some of it and read it together.

"Pack these three books for me, how much does it cost in total?" Zhang Chucai asked generously. This type of commemorative works are quite interesting.

One book is given to Yang Ling as a birthday gift, and the other two are collected by oneself.

The boss smiled, and he liked such a straightforward customer, "The first book is 20,000, the second book is only 500, and the third book is 4,000."

The recipe is actually the cheapest, and the hand-written fairy tale book is also a bit expensive. The most expensive thing is how steel is made, but it is indeed worth this number.

Zhang Chu rushed to the barbecue restaurant for dinner. He pointed to the QR code at the bookstore cashier and said, "I'll scan WeChat to pay, there are 24,500 in total, right?"

"Yes, you must save it after you buy it."

If the book is left for a long time, it will attract small insects, and the stains on the book will also shorten the lifespan of the book.

"Don't worry, these books are not placed on the bookshelf. They will be placed in a bookcase with glass and occasionally taken out and flipped through them."

The books you just bought from the bookstore cannot be placed directly in the bookcase, and they must be hygienic and disinfected.

Although Zhang Chu is not old, he is actually the best and is clear about these processes.

The reason why he did not doubt the authenticity of these books was because he had obtained a skill for primary antique identification during the system lottery, and now it finally came in handy here!

The authenticity can be distinguished by using the system skills directly. These books themselves are not too long, so it is quite easy to identify them.

Zhang Chu divided the books into two bags and put them carefully in the passenger seat, and then rushed towards the barbecue restaurant at a glance.

However, it was the peak period. The distance was not far, but the speed of the car was very slow. It was originally possible to arrive in ten minutes, but it was dragged for half an hour!

"I thought you were stuck on the road and we were discussing what kind of bottle you really need."

Zhang Chu sat down with the wrapped book, and he said contemptuously: "I know you definitely need a mineral water bottle, and I should need a milk tea cup."

Usually, people say that the pulsation bottle is almost done, but this guy has directly increased the number of dimensions!

"Do you have a large intestine on the waist? Milk tea cup, why don't you talk about the washbasin?" An Mi smiled unkindly, "No wonder you didn't find a girlfriend, so that's how it is."

Yang Ling handed over the menu, and he smiled and said, "We have finished eating for a round, and there is basically no meat. Please order some meat and eat it with your stomach today."

Zhang Chu was not polite. He was really hungry. There were a lot of people in this stone pot barbecue, which smelled so hard that it made people saliva.

He ordered a plate of prawns, fresh beef, pork belly, hand-cut fresh lamb, pickled pork belly, and so on. He really didn't think about saving money for Yangling!

The sizzling pork belly fried some oil flowers on the stove, making people's index fingers tremble.

"By the way, today we are having a double happiness. Lao Yang's birthday today, Zhang Chu got the Knight Medal today, let's have a drink!" Sun Ruiqi held up the beer glass.

Zhang Chu and the other two clinked glasses, and he said to the birthday boy: "Happy birthday, next time we can get together to eat and drink on your birthday."

Several people raised their heads and drank the cold beer in the cup in one go. It was fate to get together!

While eating barbecue, they started chatting.

"We were a little surprised when we saw you receive the Knight Medal in the morning. I didn't expect you to have won so many honors. Where is this medal? Is it useful?"

Zhang Chu shook his head: "The medal has been kept at home. When can you go over and take a look? As for the actual function, it seems that there is nothing, there is no fiefdom, and you can't eat at a discount. It's probably the last news."

"Anyway, it sounds awesome, and the French should really thank you." An Mi chewed the freshly baked chicken wings. "My mother and her unit organized a trip abroad in December. It is said that someone suggested going to France. It was too much influenced by your novel."

"Yes, a classmate of mine runs a small travel agency at home. He posts links on his Moments every day. The most recently he posted is the Da Vinci password cultural journey, which made me want to sign up for a group."

Yang Ling said at this time: "Join a group, let's go together. Don't go home during the winter vacation. Let's go to France directly for a trip. I don't know if it's time to apply for a visa now!"
Chapter completed!
