At half past four, the last bright time of this public market ended. In this open auction, Chu Chen did not encounter any surprises, the only piece of semi-gambling wool he wanted to auction was robbed by others.

There is no way, he is now famous, and there are obviously more people who pay attention to him, and the possibility of bidding like this openly and honestly, wanting to buy good wool at a low price, is undoubtedly much smaller than before.

And with the rise of popularity, the Cheng dù that he is concerned about must be higher, and it is estimated that he will only be able to play dark gambling in the future, which makes him feel a little depressed when he thinks about it.

Fortunately, while having dinner, Chu Chen heard a good news from Wan Qianjun's mouth, there will be a ghost market in Pingzhou tomorrow.

When he first heard this, Chu Chen was still a little surprised, he really hadn't heard of a ghost market in Pingzhou before, after all, there was no antique market like Beijing or Shanghai here.

It wasn't until he got Wan Qijun's reminder that Chu Chen remembered that this jadeite was actually related to antiques, and Pingzhou was a famous jade market in the country, so it was not surprising that there could be a ghost market.

I heard that there is a ghost market, except for Chu Chen who is quite happy, everyone else is also quite excited, and they all want to go to the ghost market here to see it, of course, there are exceptions to this, such as Zhang Yanbin, at this time, his face is full of his old friends, plus he has been to the ghost market in Pingzhou countless times, and he doesn't want to go again because he feels that it is not interesting.

They didn't pay any attention to him, and after dinner and chatted for a while, they went back to their rooms and rested early, so that they wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow morning.

The Pingzhou Ghost Market starts at four o'clock and ends at nine o'clock. The market is open two days a week on weekends in Old Street, Pingzhou.

Visiting a ghost market is usually an early bird with worms. So everyone got up early, after breakfast. So they rushed over with their tools, and when they reached the old street, some of the stalls had not yet been set up.

To say that the ghost market in Pingzhou is much smaller than that of Beijing and Shanghai, but the street lights here in Pingzhou are very dim, and the shadows look longing from afar, which is undoubtedly more like a ghost market than the other two places, in Liu Sizhe's words, the ghost market in Beijing is more like a night market.

The group was mighty. It's lively, but just like that, it's definitely not very suitable to visit the ghost market, so everyone was divided into groups as before, and then they each found a stall to see.

Perhaps because the local area is a famous jadeite market in the country, there are many stalls selling jadeite products, such as bracelets, jewelry, etc., and more ornaments.

These jadeite ornaments are of good quality at first glance. The whole body is translucent, and the carving is also okay, but if you look closely, they are all low-grade jadeite. Or simply B goods or C goods, which are basically things of low value.

As for why these jadeites look very translucent, the reason is also very simple. Because the surface of the jadeite here can be smeared with a layer of oil. So much so that every time Chu Chen saw something, he had to wipe it with a wet wipe. Chu Yulan simply didn't look at the finished jadeite product because she was disgusted, even if she liked it. I will also wrap it in a tissue.

Of course, there must be good things in the ghost market, but the price is really not cheap, compared to the things in the store, it is not cheap, as for the goods that the stall owners missed, there must be them, but if you can find them, then you can only rely on your own vision and luck.

After visiting a few stalls, the ones on them were either jade products or jade, and the things were really not very good, just when Chu Chen felt a little boring, he finally saw a stall selling rare books.

When the stall owner saw that there was business coming to the door, he hurriedly greeted: "Little brother, come and see, these are all just received, and no one has touched them yet!" ”

Chu Chen smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just squatted down and looked at himself. When buying things here, it's best not to say anything off-topic to the stall owner, otherwise Bacheng will be led into the ditch by the stall owner.

Although there are rare books sold here, most of them are old comic books such as red treasure books, and as for the books, most of them are photocopied books from the Republic of China, and there are a few thread-bound books from the Ming and Qing dynasties, but they look poor.

As for whether these books from the Ming and Qing dynasties are collectible, we still need to see if they are, but Chu Chen feels that Baojue has no reaction, and these books should not be of good quality.

"Brother, this book, we don't seem to have it in our family!" Chu Yulan said as she handed a booklet in her hand to Chu Chen, and Chu Chen took it over and looked at it, it turned out to be a villain book that we often say.

The stall owner had a good ear, and hurriedly said: "This is the "Iron Buddha Temple" during the Anti-Japanese War, and there are very few left, and I finally got a copy, if you want, I can be cheaper." ”

"Iron Buddha Temple" is a set of 24 woodcut comic strips created by Lu Meng, Yajun and Mo Pu, woodcut has always been the main technique of early comic book creation, because the pear wood board and jujube wood board used can be made from local materials, woodcarving knife, paper, ink can be made by home, to meet the needs of the time.

Therefore, under the advocacy and cultivation of Mr. Lu Xun, many woodcarvers have persevered over the years, overcome many difficulties, and created many excellent comic books.

"Iron Buddha Temple" is one of the excellent comic strips, in the spring of 1942, Lu Meng and other three people in the Central China Liberated Area to cooperate in this book, they create at a rate of three to four per day, when the completion of one hundred and ten woodcut works, the enemy situation is tense, Mo Pu, Cheng Yajun according to the arrangement of the superior to leave the liberated area, and finally by Lu Meng alone to complete the whole draft, to be printed and sent out, and then bury the printing press in the ground.

Due to the limitations of the time, the printing of comic books from this period has been limited, and relatively few have been handed down, so they are very popular in the current collection market.

Chu Chen looked at the villain book in his hand slightly, and then said with a smile: "This book we have at home, it is in the closet in my room, next to the set of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

"Hey, why didn't I see it!" Chu Yulan asked suspiciously.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "I remember that you only seem to like to read color comics, like this kind of colorless villain book, I think you are too lazy to read it!" ”

When Chu Chen was a child, he liked to read such villain books very much, so his parents helped him find all the villain books that could be found on the market.

Thinking of his parents' love for him, Chu Chen felt a warm warmth flowing through his body.

"What's the matter, sometimes I watch it well!" Chu Yulan pouted and retorted, but it was obvious that her confidence was a little lacking.

Originally, although there was "Iron Buddha Temple" at home, this villain book during the Anti-Japanese War was still relatively rare, and it was not bad to buy it and collect it, but unfortunately, this book only had six finished appearances.

The quality of the comic strip is also standard, like the six-finished picture refers to the front and back cover losing most of their luster, with obvious scars and damaged corners, and obvious smudges or deliberate repairs, but not missing skin and pages.

Although the villain book of the sixth finished product has collectible value, because it is more severely damaged, its value and collectibility must have been greatly reduced, so Chu Chen finally put it back on the stall.

After that, Chu Chen casually took a thread-bound book in his hand, and when he looked at the title on the cover, he couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that it would be "Fang's Ink Spectrum"!

This "Fang's Ink Spectrum" is a monograph on various shapes and patterns of Fang's ink making, and it is one of the four major ink books of the Ming Dynasty along with "Cheng's Ink Garden". At that time, Fang's search for famous artists was made after five years, which shows the dedication of the heart.

There are six volumes of ink spectrum, which are national treasures, national treasures, bogu, museums, magic treasures, and Hongbao, involving characters, animals, myths, legends, history, etc., which can really be described as "complete in form." Pictures and songs".

Although he was a little surprised in his heart, Chu Chen still quietly flipped through the book quickly, and after putting it back, he looked through several identical books next to this book, and found that those books were indeed "Fang's Ink Spectrum", and together with the one just now, it was exactly a set of six volumes.

This set of "Fang's Ink Spectrum" is in good condition, with clear calligraphy and painting, and it should be the original book at that time. The illustrations in the book are delicate, exquisite, and breathtaking. No wonder Qian Yunzhi said: "I saw Fang Yu Lu Mopu in Baigu Zhai, and I didn't feel that I shouted, saying that this stunner is inherent in the world!" The desire is hungry and thirsty. ”

Putting the book back in its place, Chu Chen wondered a little in his heart, why did such a treasure treasure not react? But after a while, he reacted, it was his own negligence, and he forgot to reset Baojue before.

In addition, although the combined value of this book has exceeded 100,000, Baojue will only evaluate it separately, so there is no response.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but shake his head secretly for his sloppiness, he couldn't make this kind of mistake in the future, otherwise he would have to suffer losses sooner or later.

However, he felt that, in the final analysis, he was still too dependent on abilities, so that he seemed to be based on abilities now, and in the long run, it would not be him who controlled the ability, but the ability that controlled him, which was not what he wanted to see.

As for the most thorough way to solve this matter, it is to use no special abilities, just doing this, Chu Chen feels that it is a bit overcorrected.

Ability still needs to be used, but ability can only be used as an auxiliary tool, like now, he can first have a rough judgment, and then use Baojue to screen, not only to exercise himself, but also not to miss the treasure, this is undoubtedly better.

After figuring it out, Chu Chen's mood was much happier, so he took out the set of "Fang's Ink Spectrum" and asked, "Boss, how much is this set of books?" (To be continued......)
