This attic should really have not been visited for many years, and after Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang walked in, extremely clear footprints suddenly appeared on the ground.
The light from the glass window makes it possible to see the inside of the attic.
Although this floor is not the same as an attic in the ordinary sense, it has the responsibility of an attic, that is, to hold some things that are not needed.
These things, which I don't know how many years have been there, are piled up in a mess, from the westernmost end of the attic to the doorway of the staircase at the east end of the attic.
There are cardboard boxes and some wooden boxes, and more are some items that have no packaging, just thrown on the ground indiscriminately, Yang Jing even saw two small bookshelves in the attic, which were filled with all kinds of dusty books.
This situation made Guo Xiaoxiang couldn't help but gasp, "Oh, buy ga!
I said Lao Yang, I really doubt that our brothers and sons can pick up so many things in two days. ” Yang Jing also shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Find a way to assemble a small spreader tonight, and talk to the steward when you pick it up tomorrow to see if you can set up the spreader at the window position."
Otherwise, if we just pointed at the two of us and picked up these things from the stairs, we wouldn't be able to finish it in three days. ” Guo Xiaoxiang nodded and gave Yang Jing a thumbs up.
The two of them wandered around for a while, and after getting a general idea of what was inside, they prepared to go out and prepare the tools they would need tomorrow.
They all carry some of the tools they usually use for cleaning in their cars, but small spreaders like the ones Yang Jing just mentioned need to buy some materials from local stores tonight to assemble.
Guo Xiaoxiang walked in front, Yang Jing walked behind, and when he passed by a small bookshelf, Yang Jing stopped, took out a rag from his pocket, and wiped it on those dusty books, and the tome was immediately revealed.
"Wow, this is the 1963 edition of Pride and Prejudice, this is the 1960 edition of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and this is the 1962 edition of the History of England......"
Yang Jing casually took out the basic tome from the bookshelf and looked at it, and found that they were all books published or printed in the fifties and sixties of the last century.
These books looked very old on the surface, but after opening them, Yang Jing found that no one seemed to have read them.
Obviously, these books are probably bought by Baron William Valdy's father or grandfather to decorate the study, but it is not known who threw them in the attic.
These books are all old, after all, they were printed in the sixties of the last century, even if they are some popular books, but if they are sold out, they are somewhat valuable.
This discovery made Yang Jing very happy.
In their line of work, the daily salary given by the owner is only a small part of the income, and the main income comes from the "garbage" that the owner does not want.
After all, it is something that the rich have used, and these things are originally good things, maybe they are nothing at all for those who are rich, but they are still very good for ordinary people.
When they dispose of the "garbage" that the rich don't want, they can find some pretty good things in it, and then pay the steward to buy these things, and take them to the flea market to make a lot of money.
It's like when Guo Xiaoxiang first entered the industry, he found a bicycle in a manor house in Tonbridge when he was cleaning up.
Guo Xiaoxiang bought the bicycle for 80 pounds in the hands of the housekeeper, but the bicycle sold for 700 pounds at the flea market.
It was a small cloth folding bike, and it was a limited edition commemorative six-speed bike launched by small cloth bicycles in 2000.
You must know that an ordinary second-hand small cloth folding bicycle is sold for more than 10,000 yuan in China, and this limited edition commemorative car, if it is a new car, even if it is bought in the United Kingdom, it will cost more than 2,000 pounds.
But the owner of the manor is so wealthy, and the small cloth bicycle that may have been bought for the child is disposed of as garbage.
Of course, Guo Xiaoxiang bought it from the housekeeper of the manor for money, but it was the eighty pounds that gave Guo Xiaoxiang back seven hundred pounds of income.
The fat man's Golf was bought back with the proceeds of that time.
Of course, it is not so easy to bring out some high-value items that the owner has neglected, after all, if you want to take something out of it, you must go through the inspection of the housekeeper or steward and determine its value.
However, those items with high value cannot be brought out, but those things that are of high value to ordinary people but are nothing in the eyes of the rich do not matter.
These garbage handlers are making money from this.
You don't need to find high-value waste items in this business, you just need to continuously find some valuable things.
These books are clearly one of those items that are not very valuable, but they are profitable.
Since these books have been thrown here by their owners for more than fifty years, it is clear that the owners do not care about these books.
But if these books are sold on the flea market, they can definitely sell for a higher price than a new book.
If there were such books on both shelves, these books alone would be enough for Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang to make a small fortune.
Yang Jing was about to tell Guo Xiaoxiang excitedly, when he suddenly felt that the little finger of his left hand was hot, as if a hot breath had smoked him.
The next moment, Yang Jing saw a transparent interface suddenly appear in front of his eyes, on which four lines of words were displayed very clearly - "Dictionary of National Figures", 1958 edition, published by Oxford University Press.
Sketch of furniture, 1961, Picasso Sketch of furniture, 1961, Picasso Sketch of furniture, 1961, Picasso This transparent interface with four lines of words appeared so abruptly that Yang Jing almost jumped in fright.
“hat-the-fuck!”
Yang Jing scolded in a low voice, and then the interface that suddenly appeared suddenly disappeared.
Immediately, as if he realized something, Yang Jing looked down at his left hand, and found that the tome he was holding with his left hand just now had fallen to the ground.
"What's going on?"
Yang Jing muttered to himself, looked up and looked at Guo Xiaoxiang who was about to walk to the door of the attic, forcibly pressed the urge to stop the fat man, and lowered his head again and thought about it.
After pondering for a while, Yang Jing tried to pick up the tome that had fallen on the ground again, but the book he was holding in his right hand did not appear.
I flipped through the book, and I saw the publication date of the book on the back of the book, and sure enough, it was published by Oxford University Press in 1958.

As a student who has studied in the UK for two years, Yang Jing certainly knows this set of "Dictionary of National Biographies".
This set of books is an important reference book for British biographies, originally known as the "Dictionary of National Biography", the first edition was published as early as 1885, and has been continuously updated and revised since then.
It was not until September 2004 that the 60-volume Oxford Dictionary of National Biographies was renamed the 60-volume Dictionary of National Figures, with an online version updated annually in January, May and September.
Since this set of books is in the 1958 edition, the name naturally remains the same as the original old name.
Seeing that touching the book with his right hand did not appear as the situation just now, Yang Jing tried to touch the book with his left hand again, and the result was ......
