416 Ghost City 1

"Good thing?" Jian'er didn't agree with this. It was not that Jian'er was not interested in this, but that Jian'er felt that today must be her own black day. Think about it, how many things happened today, and almost nothing could be called "good" from beginning to end. Even if the final result was good, the process always had to say to her, "How can you see the rainbow without experiencing the storm!" So Jian'er now has the so-called "good thing" that will happen today, and she will never have any big expectations.

"Hey, what's your reaction?" Mr. Song was unhappy. Why? If we have good things, I think of you little girl. Pay attention! It's a good thing, and it's a great thing! Why is this reaction?

"You always speak, girl, I'm listening attentively." Seeing that the old man was unhappy, Jian'er quickly raised his spirits and coaxed the old man quickly, otherwise he would definitely be the one who was unlucky in the future. So regardless of whether Mr. Song saw it or not, Jian'er immediately showed a flattering smile and quickly put his attitude on the right side. Even the sweetness of the voice increased by no less than 100 percentage points.

"It's almost the same." Mr. Song finally nodded with satisfaction. That's right, this lack of reaction made us unable to make us feel interested. Mr. Song cleared his throat, "Girl, do you know the 'ghost market'?"

"Ghost Market?" Jian'er blinked, and she had a certain understanding of this.

This "Ghost Market" is also known as "Ghost Market". It was formed after the middle and late Qing Dynasty. It first appeared in Beijing, that is, the night market, and it scattered at dawn. Whenever before dawn, the market was bustling and bustling, and each stall was lit with a kerosene lamp, candle, soybean oil lamp, etc. The lights were bright and dark, flashing, and there were also people who were trading in the shadows. The situation was shocked by the people who didn't know it. Later, people called it "Ghost Market".

Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, due to the decline of the country's power, many high-ranking officials and noble families were also declining, while those former rich children were still idle and secretly sold antiques in their families in order to survive or exchange for money to smoke cigarettes. After all, this was a move that was a loss of identity. He dared not blatantly to sell this sale, so he only asked someone to get the "ghost market" at two or three o'clock in the morning. In addition to them, there were also people here to get some stolen things or items of unknown origin, and they kept them open before dawn. People lit lanterns to trade. Because they had unspeakable secrets, the price was naturally very discounted. Things that were originally worth 50 taels of silver, maybe 2 taels of silver were sold.

In the "ghost market", sellers generally have no stalls. They often put newspapers or a piece of plastic cloth on the ground. They put on a few antiques and jades, old crafts, old books and newspapers, and then squatted aside, glanced at the pedestrians with their eyes, and there was no one who shouted loudly. The buyers also quietly walked between the street stalls.

You have to have a good temper when doing business here. Don’t get angry at the price of the price, and don’t get angry if you pay it back. Many things are stolen, and it’s good to take off your hands, so you can’t find out the source of the good things you encounter here.

For this reason, some people in this "ghost market" have indeed bought bargains. They used the money to buy vinegar bottles to buy blue and white porcelain bottles, and wanted to buy copper spittoons to buy bronzes in the Shang Dynasty. Of course, on the other hand, there are also things that spend money to buy ginseng and coriander roots. However, many times those buyers want to be faced, and they show off everywhere when they get cheap, and they want to use a loudspeaker to broadcast them to the whole world! But if they suffer losses, they are mostly bored in their stomachs, for fear of being ridiculed.

Generally speaking, the authenticity of the products in the ghost market is mixed, and the fish eyes are mixed with pearls. For those collectors and collectors, it is indeed a place to practice eyesight and test knowledge, and it also provides countless opportunities for "picking leaks" to find gold and treasures. People who often visit the ghost market often say that anyone has "eyes" but no "eyes" do not. This "eyes" refer to the ability to appreciate antiques. Many collectors practice "eyes" on street stalls. However, before practicing "eyes", the "tuition fees" paid are not a small number.

"Eyes" used to be their own, because most people who come to street stalls to hunt for gold were "Lonely Man". Now that collecting is hot, collectors have become a group of people. This is why "borrow eyes" is the saying. People often hear people say "brother, borrow your old 'eyes' to see this snuff bottle..." If you can pick up "Luer" and get your favorite treasures, you will inevitably put a pot of tea or take a bottle of wine and invite three or five friends to appreciate and evaluate it, which is also a unique interest.

However, there are fewer and fewer opportunities like this. Although there are more people picking up stalls and more abundant things, the value of this "ghost market" is declining year by year. However, as long as you have enough eyesight, you can always find treasures from it.

Although the country has also cracked down on these "ghost markets", they usually have loud thunder and little rain, and they will end up in nothing. This is mainly because the trading behavior of "ghost markets" is often in the early morning or at night, and it is highly liquid, so it is extremely difficult to manage. It is often "guerrilla warfare". When the inspectors come, they run away, and when the inspectors leave, they rekindle again.

Let’s talk about this “ghost market”, there are also S city, but Jian’er has only heard of it, but she has to tell her, after all, she has never seen it before. Why, after all, she is not a person in the circle, and she has never seen it before. What? Judging from Mr. Song’s words, is it possible that this person wants to take her to see it?

"Hey, girl, are you listening to me? Don't fall asleep." After not seeing Jian'er's noise for a long time, Old Master Song couldn't help but scream again.

"You always say, I'm listening." I fell asleep! What kind of adjective is this? Jian'er was speechless. She doesn't have such strong skills yet, okay? "You just told me that 'Ghost Market' is here."

"I know I'm saying 'Ghost Market', you don't need to remind me," said Mr. Song. "I'm not old yet, so I can't remember anything I said just now."

"Well, it seems that you have heard of this 'ghost market'. I think you should know the rules inside, so I won't explain this in detail." Mr. Song is relieved now. Just know the rules. At least this can save yourself a lot of trouble. "How about it, girl, are you interested in walking around together?"

"That's it, what a great thing." Jian'er's lips curled, and her words were full of disdain.

Although Jian'er has never been to the "Ghost Market", this is because the life circle between this industry and Jian'er was too far away, and even if Jian'er wanted to join in the fun, no one would take him.

And although there is a saying in this circle that someone has "picked up a bargain" again, Jian'er is very sober. Behind this glamorous, more people are going to "pay tuition fees". At that time, Jian'er can be said to have learned the ten or nine orifices in this industry, but the rest is just a ignorant. Therefore, for a pragmatic person like Jian'er, he would not want to dive into it.

On the other hand, the so-called night market in S City is too small. Not to mention going to Beijing, Tianjin and Xi'an, these top "ghost markets" distribution centers. According to rumors, it is just a place that can be completed in two steps. For such a place, she felt it was not worth it, because Jian'er had to work a lot of jobs in the past and said that where did this American time be used to waste? It would be better to sleep again and have this spirit.

It is precisely because of this that what Jian'er said to Mr. Song is not very energetic at all. If you have time, it would be better to have a good rest in the past few days. After all, you will have to find the evil witch in two days. Only after nourishing your spirits can she work (Xiaohai: With your three-legged kung fu, is there any work here? Jian'er dances her fist: If you dare to say it again, I will close the door and let the Lu family ghosts go! Xiaohai: Escape in shame).

He could hear what Jian'er said, and Mr. Song slapped his forehead: "Hey, I'm not saying it clearly. Girl is like this. What we are going back this time is not the 'two-step ghost market' in our S city, but this time the ghost market is of the national nature."

"National nature?" Jian'er stopped working on the noodles ingredients. This time she was a little interested. After all, as long as the word "National" is prefixed with the word "National" is absolutely impossible. However, Jian'er hesitated for a moment, but she didn't know when the "Ghost Market" was, and she didn't know the specific meeting location. If the time was wrong or the distance was too far, she would probably not be able to make it this time.

"That's right! It's a national nature! I'll tell you, girl. This is a rare opportunity. Let's go together and kill everyone!" I didn't notice Jian'er's hesitation. Mr. Song on the other end of the phone was getting more and more excited. He wanted this "ghost market" to open soon.

In the impression of Mr. Song, Jian'er not only has a good foundation, but also has a sense of evil spirit. The good things are all running towards her in piles. It is rare that the national "ghost market" will open. The first time the old man thought of her when he received the news. Although the things in the "ghost market" are fake, it is good that Mr. Song believes that Jian'er's eyesight, no matter how fake it is, as long as he is true with the luck and knowledge of this girl, he will definitely not be able to escape the girl's eyes. Maybe he can benefit from the ones he follows, have good luck, and can also get the goods he likes.

Of course, even if you can't find it, isn't there any Jian'er? As long as that girl is shopping, it's the same. If you borrow it for a few days, that girl won't mind (Jian'er's black line: I'm not used to borrowing her things). After seeing it, I have it. The old man still has this kind of aura!

"Old man, thank you, but..., but I may not be able to go there anymore, because I will go out for a long trip in two days, and I may not be able to catch up." Although the old man had good intentions, Jian'er had to pour a big bucket of cold water on the old man who had become a little excited.

"Can't go? How could it not go?" Jian'er's first half of the words, the old man was still immersed in his beautiful fantasy, so he didn't hear what Jian'er said at all, but the old man heard the next sentence "Can't go" by the old man. Now it was like poking a hornet's nest. The old man jumped up on the other end of the phone and opened his mouth and screamed. I won't say that this ruined his old man's plan, but this girl knows how rare this opportunity is. If she missed it, it will take several years to wait for the next time.

"Huh!" Jian'er took a breath and patted her chest fortunately, fortunately she had the foresight to get her phone away. Otherwise, with the old man's voice that was comparable to Lei Gong, his fragile eardrum might have to be shaken. "Don't be excited, old man, I have something to do to go out..."

"Can't your affairs be rescheduled? Girl, I tell you that this opportunity is really rare, don't miss it, otherwise it would be a pity." Mr. Song couldn't help but persuade.

"No," Although Mr. Song couldn't see it, Jian'er still shook her head habitually, "This was decided before, and this time the matter is really important, I have to go." It's because this time it's related to Aoduo's tribe, and if he doesn't go, he really can't feel at ease.

And when it comes to the issue of "rescheduling", this is not a joke. Jian'er doesn't think she has such a "wide" face, so she lets a senior expert like Taoist Qingyun cooperate with her.

"Girl, when are you going to go out? Let me see if this time can be staggered," Mr. Song was still unwilling to give up, so he asked again.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be out in two days, and the return date is uncertain this time, so..." Jian'er shrugged. She also wanted to join in the fun, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"Don't worry, girl! It's too late!" When Mr. Song heard this, he let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately!

"It's time?!" This time it was Jian'er's turn to jump up, how could it be!

"That's right!" Mr. Song suddenly relaxed, "If nothing unexpected happens, this 'ghost market' should be here. The market will open within two days. I have agreed with you that you must think clearly, otherwise don't blame me if you regret it in the future." The old man did not forget to remind him again.

Well, this might be too late to do this. Jian'er nodded, what should I do if she was swollen! She was a little itchy: "Where is that place?"

"It's not decided yet!" The old man almost scared Jian'er. It's not that, when is it, there's no detailed information yet.

"What's so strange about this? Is this normal? " Mr. Song strongly despised Jian'er's ignorance. Generally speaking, there is a specific location at this time and it is usually not clear. It is a common practice to notify him the afternoon of the beginning, and the notification may not be the final place at that time. Well! It seems that I still have to make up for the lessons with this girl. (To be continued.)
