Chapter 72: The Ghost Market (Part II)

This is because this market is usually a market for the trading of goods of unknown origin (or obtained by illegal means) on an open ground at night or before dawn.

And such transactions are often carried out in the dark, and the days go by and on, and the people who love nicknames give this market an image of the name "ghost market". Later, the "ghost market" became synonymous with the antique market.

For well-known reasons, the "ghost market" disappeared from the fifties to the mid-eighties of the last century. It was not until the late 80s of the last century that it "revived" in the vicinity of the magic capital and the capital Panjiayuan, and now only a few big cities have ghost markets.

However, unlike the old society, most of the antique "ghost markets" among the elderly sell old goods, while most of the antique counterfeiters in today's antique "ghost markets" sell new goods.

But even so, the proportion of genuine goods in the ghost market is still higher than that in the usual market, and the key is that the price is cheap, and it is possible that the same thing is half as cheap as the one in the store.

In fact, the ghost market is not new to Chu Chen, let's just say that Pan Jiayuan, there is also a ghost market every week, and he often goes to pick up stalls early, not to mention Zhou Wenping on the side, so he still knows the doorway.

Like now, although there are real things in the ghost market, he has really not seen the heavy weapons a few times, and the prices are not cheap, and there are even profiteers who take advantage of the darkness to sell some unsightly fakes, and the black lights are blinding, and the customers are very easy to see.

Therefore, without a pair of sharp eyes, it is not advisable to go to the ghost market based on the old man's saying. Of course, the vendors didn't recognize it, and it was extremely common for the treasures to be sold as garbage, so some players still enjoyed visiting the ghost market.

Hou Yuanming said with a smile: "Ghost market, Xiao Chu, you must know, I have also been to the ghost market in the capital, but the proportion of genuine products is really not as high as the Eight Immortal Nunnery, tomorrow is Sunday, do you want to go shopping?" ”

In terms of the proportion of genuine products, the antique market of Baxian Nunnery is indeed higher than that of Pan Jiayuan, which Chu Chen has observed after this morning, and this is indeed the case. However, this is also because of the large base of Panjiayuan, and after apportionment, the proportion of genuine goods is of course smaller.

However, the small base has the advantage of a small base, and the energy spent is undoubtedly smaller, and this is suitable for the use of abilities, and it is not easy to come to Xijing, and I am doing antique business, of course, the ghost market cannot be missed.

So Chu Chen happily agreed: "It's rare to come to Xijing once, of course you can't miss the ghost market, but I don't know much about the ghost market here, when should we go?" ”

Hou Yuanming thought for a while and replied, "It's summer, let's set off at four o'clock, right?" ”

"Okay, Xiaolan, if you don't go tomorrow, you can't sleep lazy!" Chu Chen asked about the others again.

At this time, Chu Yulan and the others had already learned about the situation of the ghost market from Zhou Wenping, and their curiosity suddenly increased, and they all agreed to go together.

At this time, Chu Yulan asked, "Brother Chu, who is that Brother Zhao on your phone just now?" ”

This question made Chu Chen slightly stunned, it was very strange that she would ask this question, this is somewhat inappropriate, but there is nothing that cannot be said, so he replied a little strangely: "Oh, that's Zhao Qirui Zhao Zong, the boss of Whitt Trading, Xiaolan, why did you think of asking this?" ”

"Oh, I told you how the voice is familiar, it's my uncle." Chu Yulan said a little abruptly.

"What, the boss of Whitt Trade turned out to be Xiaolan, your uncle?" Li Guodong said in surprise, he also knew that Chu Yulan's background should be very good, but he didn't expect it to be so good, he had heard by chance before, Zhao Qirui's father, but the founding general, his identity was extremely prominent, but he didn't expect it to be Chu Yulan's grandfather.

"What, is that Mr. Zhao very powerful?" Seeing this, Hou Yuanming on the side asked in some surprise.

Li Guodong explained: "Mr. Zhao was originally a billionaire, and his family background was extremely prominent. ”

Li Guodong didn't tell it all, but even so, Hou Yuanming almost understood, his mother's family was such a family background, and the family would definitely not be bad, maybe it was also a red family.

Hou Yuanming thought of this, and then looked at Chu Yulan with a trace of awe in his eyes, he had also worked in the system at the beginning, and knew that as long as there were leaders in this red family, the energy was not small, and no matter how it was, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.

Chu Yulan smiled slightly: "My home is my home, I am me, please don't look at me with colored glasses." Brother Chu, can you tell me how you met my uncle, I'm really a little curious, my uncle won't let others call him brother easily. ”

Chu Chen was also very surprised when he heard that Zhao Qirui was Chu Yulan's uncle, he didn't expect Shijie to be so young, his uncle and niece would know him one after another, now thinking about it before at the train station, it is not surprising that he can easily solve that trouble, so he simply told Zhao Qirui about the experience, and said with a smile at the end:

"Xiaolan, I didn't expect us to be really fateful!"

Chu Yulan smiled and nodded yes, and said in her heart, it is indeed very fateful, and it is too fateful, but Uncle Weishenme will behave like this, could he not guess wrong? Probably not! Forget it, it's useless to think too much, let's take one step at a time.

"Oh, I thought of a particularly interesting thing, Brother Chu, your name is Brother Xiaolan's uncle Zhao, Xiaolan calls you Brother Chu, your relationship is really messy!" Wen Yuting laughed on the side.

Everyone laughed when they thought about it.

Seeing this, Chu Chen scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said, "Is it good for us to have our own friends, and even if I want to call Uncle Zhao, he won't agree!" ”

"Brother Chu, the next time you see my uncle, tell him, maybe he will really let you call him uncle?" When Chu Yulan was joking, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"Then forget it, I don't dare." Chu Chen said with a smile.

Next, everyone chatted all over the world, and then when the time was almost up, Hou Yuanming drove them to the famous restaurant in Xijing to eat.

Gourd chicken, three-skin silk, hoof soup, lotus leaf steamed pork, etc., each dish is made quite fine and exquisite, not only good looking, better taste, and rich connotation, fully embodies the elegant side of Shaanxi cuisine.

After a full meal, everyone returned to the hotel, and in Chu Chen's room, everyone admired the glass emerald jade for a while, and then went back to their respective rooms to rest. When the two girls went back, they both had reluctant expressions, and they didn't know when they would see such a jade again.

************************************

Just after three o'clock, Chu Chen got up, and had made an appointment with Hou Yuanming yesterday to take the jade to the safe in his store first. Maybe this piece of jade was opened by him, and there was no loss at all when the ability was absorbed, and the progress accumulation was normal, which was a small surprise for him.

When they returned to the hotel, Li Guodong and the others also got up one after another, and Zhou Wenping was in good spirits because of his habits for many years. Li Guodong and the two girls, perhaps because they visited the antique street yesterday, they were more excited in the afternoon, and now they all look sleepy-eyed.

"I said can you cheer up and go to the ghost market for a while, this black light is blinding, don't buy anything and take medicine."

Chu Chen made a joke when he saw this.

But it's true, it's already dark, and your eyesight is discounted to a certain extent, and then in this state, if you go to dig something, you can't say it without taking medicine. The so-called taking medicine is the eye punch mentioned before, which can also be said to be an eye drop.

Wen Yuting said with misty eyes: "It's okay, Brother Chu, don't worry, when we get there, I will definitely wake up." ”

As soon as the words fell, the other two also nodded again and again, seeing this, Chu Chen and the others could only shake their heads.

When they came to the Eight Immortals Nunnery Antique City, the scene in front of them suddenly made Chu Yulan and the others a little dumbfounded. The Eight Immortals Nunnery is still the Eight Immortals Nunnery, but there are many small stalls on both sides of the street in an orderly manner, and there is usually a dim small electric light hanging on the stalls.

At this time, there are already many players in front of the stall, they are flashlights, observing, asking prices, and trading in front of the stall of their favorite items, a busy scene. The whole scene is like an ordinary market, and it is very lively.

Wen Yuting was stunned and said, "This is the ghost market? Why don't you feel a little sneaky? ”

Chu Chen laughed softly: "This is the ghost market, do you think it's really like the ghost street depicted in the movie?" After all, it is a new century, and everything must be standardized. But remember, don't make a lot of noise here, lest you cause others to be unhappy. ”

However, Li Guodong was excited when he saw this scene, he had no gain in the past two days, taking this opportunity, he very much hoped to get the haode baby, so he rubbed his hands and said: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look, there is a way that is fast with hands, and there is no slow hand." ”

Chu Chen hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Li, calm down, look at the few people around you, who will be as anxious as you, not to mention whether you can dig out good things, even if you get good things, you are the main and deputy appearance, who will you kill if you don't kill you?" Let's go, let's not separate together, this place is the easiest place to encounter porcelain. ”

The first place they visited was a stall selling ancient jade, which looked pretty good at a glance, but Chu Chen glanced at it, pulled everyone up, and then asked them in a low voice as he walked:

"Did you smell a smell just now?"
