This time they came to buy books for the village, and they were spending the village's funds, so the more money they saved, the better.
The books at the scrap yard are sold by weight. If you choose carefully, you can save a lot of money.
Yu You asked with interest, "Mom, do you think there are any antiques or other treasures in the scrap yard?"
Cao Xiu: "That's terrible. People aren't stupid. Anything that can be exchanged for money would have been picked up long ago. Unless it's really hard to tell whether it's good or bad."
