No one should have come to this attic for many years. After Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang walked in, very clear footprints immediately appeared on the ground.

Through the light from the glass window, the situation in the attic can be seen clearly.

Although this floor is different from the attic in the ordinary sense, it bears the responsibility of the attic, that is to put some unnecessary things.

I don't know how many years these things have been stacked in a mess, from the west end of the attic to the door of the stairway at the east end of the attic. There are cartons, some wooden cases, and more items without any packaging. They are thrown on the ground. Yang Jing even saw two small bookshelves in the attic, filled with all kinds of dusty books.

This situation made Guo Xiaoxiang take a breath, "Oh, buy GA! I said Lao Yang, I really doubt whether we can pick up so many things in two days."

Yang Jing also smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "try to assemble a small sling tonight. Tell the steward when you pick up tomorrow and see if you can set up the sling at the window. Otherwise, if you just point at us and pick up these things from the stairs, you can't finish it in three days."

Guo Xiaoxiang nodded and motioned a big thumb at Yang Jing.

The two men wandered inside for a while. After they had a general understanding of the things inside, they were ready to go out and prepare the tools for tomorrow. They carry some tools for cleaning in their cars, but small slings such as those mentioned by Yang Jinggang still need to buy some materials from local stores tonight to assemble them.

Guo Xiaoxiang walked in front and Yang Jing walked behind. When passing a small bookshelf, Yang Jing stopped, took out a rag from her pocket and wiped the dusty books. Most of them were immediately revealed.

"Wow, this is the 1963 edition of pride and prejudice, this is the 1960 edition of Anglo Saxon chronicles, and this is the 1962 edition of British history..." Yang Jing casually took out most of the books from the bookshelf and found that they were all published or printed in the 1950s and 1960s.

These books look old on the surface, but after opening them, Yang Jing found that no one seems to have read them. Obviously, these books were probably bought by Baron William waldy's father or grandfather to decorate the study, but I don't know who threw them in the attic.

These books are old. After all, they were printed in the 1960s. Even if they are popular books, they are somewhat valuable if they are sold to takeout.

This discovery made Yang Jing very happy.

In their business, 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 doesn't want.

After all, it is the things used by the rich. These things were originally good things. Maybe they are nothing for the rich, but they are still very good for ordinary people.

When they deal with 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, so they can earn a lot of money in the flea market.

It's like the year when Guo Xiaoxiang started his career, he found a bike in a manor in Tonbridge. Guo Xiaoxiang spent 80 pounds to buy the bike from the housekeeper, but the bike sold for 700 pounds in the flea market.

That bicycle is a small cloth folding bicycle, and it is also a limited edition commemorative six speed car launched by small cloth bicycle in 2000. You know, an ordinary second-hand small cloth folding bicycle costs more than 10000 yuan in China. If this limited edition commemorative car is a new car, even if it is bought in Britain, it will cost more than 2000 pounds.

But the owner of the manor is so rich and powerful. The small cloth bicycle that may be bought for children is treated as garbage. Of course, Guo Xiaoxiang bought it from the manor housekeeper, but it was the 80 pounds that gave Guo Xiaoxiang back 700 pounds of income.

The fat man's golf car was bought with the proceeds.

Of course, it is not so easy to bring out some items of high value neglected by the owner. After all, if you want to bring things out from the inside, you must go through the inspection of the housekeeper or steward and determine their value. However, those items with high value can't be brought out, but those with high value to ordinary people but nothing in the eyes of the rich don't matter.

That's what they garbage disposers are pointing at to make money.

In this line, you don't need to find any high-value waste articles, just find some valuable things continuously.

These books obviously belong to the kind of goods that are not very valuable but profitable. Since these books have been left here by the owner for more than 50 years, it is obvious that the owner doesn't care about these books. But if these books are sold in the flea market, they can definitely be sold at a higher price than new books.

If there are such books on both shelves, these books alone will be enough for Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang to make a small fortune.

Yang Jing was about to tell Guo Xiaoxiang excitedly. Suddenly, she felt that the little finger of her left hand was hot, as if a heat had smoked herself.

The next moment, Yang Jing saw that a transparent interface suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, with four lines clearly displayed on it - the Great Dictionary of national biographies, 1958 edition, published by Oxford University Press.

The transparent interface with four lines appeared so abrupt that Yang Jing almost jumped up.

"What-the-fu.ck!" Yang Jing scolded in a low voice, and then the suddenly appeared interface suddenly disappeared.

Immediately, Yang Jing seemed to realize something. She looked down at her left hand and found that most of the head she had just held with her left hand had fallen to the ground.

"What's going on?" Yang Jing muttered to herself, looked up and looked again. Guo Xiaoxiang, who was going to the door of the attic, forcibly pressed the impulse to stop the fat man, and bowed his head again.

After thinking for a while, Yang Jing tried to pick up most of the book that fell on the ground again, but he took the book in his right hand, and nothing appeared.

I flipped the book and saw the publication date on the back of the book. 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 great dictionary of national biographies.

This set of books is an important reference book for biography in Britain. It was originally called the National Biography dictionary. 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 this set of books was renamed the Oxford Dictionary of national biographies, a total of 60 volumes, and launched an online version. The contents are updated every January, may and September.

Since this set of books is the 1958 edition, the name naturally maintains the original old name.

Seeing that his right hand touched the book, Yang Jing tried to touch the book with his left hand. As a result
