Not long ago, I fainted on the streets from hunger.

Now I dare to go to Silk Street to set up a stall!

What is Silk Street?

It should be one of the earliest street stalls in Beijing, and they are all small traders.

A few years ago, it was a gathering place for a group of opportunistic criminals.

Zhang Junping dared to go to Silk Street to set up a stall, which made the old lady a little curious.

"Grandma Liu, this is not the seventies, now that the country has reformed and opened up, it is not illegal to set up stalls.

As for being ashamed, what is there to be ashamed of eating with your own skills?

The chief designer has said that no matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, it is a good cat if it catches a mouse!"

Silk Street is located next to the embassy apartments, where a large number of foreign friends live.

In 1978, the Silk Street Market was officially established, and at first it was just a few scattered shops, scattered among a block of embassies and diplomatic apartments, because there were not many residents nearby, so it was not favored.

State-run shops and self-employed people are not optimistic, but Silk Street has become a gathering place for some fallen masters.

Many people like to set up stalls here, in addition to the excitement here, in addition, there are many foreigners here, and if you are lucky, you can make a single business with foreigners for several days.

Others are simply collecting things here.

For example, foreign exchange rolls, such as some rare things brought by foreigners from abroad.

In the 80s, there were many foreigners in Beijing, and many foreigners relied on this for a living.

At half past three, Zhang Junping packed up his studio and rode a bicycle to Silk Street with the wood carvings he had processed before.

A street further north is the famous Sanlitun, where there are more foreigners.

However, the control over there is strict, and stalls are not allowed.

Don't talk about setting up stalls, you are not even allowed to take pictures.

There is a paragraph in the cross talk, which says that a farmer went into the city and saw a high-rise building.

If you're curious, count the floors.

As a result, someone came to me and asked, "What are you doing?"

I'm counting the floors!

Beijing does not allow counting floors, fines...

Something similar happened in Sanlitun, Beijing.

A tourist from other places, visiting Sanlitun, saw the pink house, felt novel, good-looking, took a picture with a camera.

As a result, the police came and asked: What are you doing?

Tourist: I'll take pictures! This house is all pink, it's so beautiful!

Public Security: It's very good-looking, but you want to go to the police station with me!

In Sanlitun in this era, there were no bars, let alone Uniqlo, and there was a restaurant and a supply and marketing cooperative, which was very desolate and deserted.

Therefore, the stall is still Silk Street.

"Yo, buddy, the first day?"

As soon as Zhang Junping stopped his bicycle, someone greeted him.

"Yes, the first day!" Zhang Junping nodded.

He was greeted by a slightly chubby young man, of medium height, wearing a pair of grass-green pants and a short-sleeved vest with blue and white stripes.

There will be no customers, and this one is also boring, grinding his lips to pass the time.

"Why are you here so late?"

"I have other work during the day, so I can only come to set up a stall in the evening and earn two pocket money!" Anyway, he just came out of the stall and had no business, and Zhang Junping was happy to grind his teeth with him.

"What are you selling?" asked the chubby young man who picked up the wooden carved rabbit that Zhang Junping had just posed.

"Wood carving! Make your own gadgets!"

"I know, you're doing a lot of it!

However, it is estimated that no one wants this thing!

It's useless to eat or wear it!" the chubby young man pouted while admiring Zhang Junping's wood carving.

"Dude's wood carving is really good, if this is put aside, it will be sold for a high price!

But now ........." a big-eyed young man shook his head and commented, smacking his lips regretfully at the end.

This big-eyed young man, who is thin and has no two taels of meat, is only about one meter six or five tall, and some of him has sharp-beaked monkey gills, and a pair of big eyes are the most camera-grabbing.

This young man, if he walked down the street before liberation, he would definitely be regarded as a big smoker and avoid him.

"What Xiao Liuzi said also has some truth.

This old saying says that gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

Although the wood carving of the little brother is not an antique, it also belongs to the category of cultural toys.

Cultural play is not worth much in this era!

Who is the one at the front door, just that Belle, a few days ago he took a pastel that is said to be from the Kangxi Dynasty and sold it, guess how much it was sold?" a polite middle-aged man with glasses interjected next to him.

As soon as Zhang Junping's booth came out, it attracted a lot of people.

It's all idle and nothing to set up a stall, and get together to grind your teeth.

Zhang Junping is a newcomer and a new topic, so a lot of people came over to join in the fun.

"How much?"

"And Lord Baylor now?"

The first sentence was asked by a chubby young man, and the second sentence was asked by Zhang Junping.

The Manchu, according to himself, was also a relative of the emperor in the past, and if the Qing Dynasty did not perish, he would have to be a Belle!

It's called a long time, but no one knows what it's called!" The middle-aged man with glasses answered Zhang Junping's words first, and then said again: "Lord Belle, when you come out of the cultural relics store, you start scolding your mother!"

Later, I found out that the cultural relics store gave him ten dollars!"

"Good boy, ten dollars? is not too much?"

"What do you know? That's Kangxi pastel! Before liberation, it was worth at least a big yellow croaker!"

"Good girl, worth a big yellow croaker?"

"What is pastel, and is it so valuable?"

"You don't even know about pastels?

Do you know Jingdezhen?

Pastel is one of the four traditional famous porcelain of Jingdezhen kiln.

It is said that this pastel was learned from foreigners!

Are you talking about, or is it worth it?"

"There were foreigners in the Kangxi Dynasty?"

"Why not? There were foreigners in the Tang Dynasty!"

A group of people are discussing what pastel is and why it is worth a big yellow croaker.

A large yellow croaker weighs.

How much can a big yellow croaker be worth now?

Whoever has several small yellow croakers in their hands, he has seen it with his own eyes.

Who has how many Yuan Datou in their hands......

The conversation on this day is all crooked to the Pacific Ocean.

On the contrary, Zhang Junping, who caused the topic, was ignored.

Originally, Zhang Junping was just an introduction to their chat.

Now, the building has been built up, and it has been built crookedly, who cares about his topic.

Zhang Junping listened to it next to him, and he felt very interesting.

The capital is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Five Dynasties, hiding the dragon and crouching tiger.

Just this stall, those are all knowledgeable about astronomy and geography.

Don't say it, although what they say, although there are some exaggerated ingredients, but if you take a closer look, it's really like that.

“Hello， excuse me！

How much is this for you?”

Just when Zhang Junping listened with relish, two blonde and blue-eyed foreigners stood in front of Zhang Junping's booth.

"Hello......" Zhang Junping greeted the other party in broken English.

As far as the broken English is still inherited from the predecessor, he is a junior high school graduate, and the English has long been returned to the teacher.
