When I talked about the little fat man, the fat man's face was a little distracted as he smoked, but he still didn't forget to slap me back first.

I looked at the fat man and smiled, he naturally didn't think about this kind of problem, and he probably didn't dare to think about it, but according to what he said, if he really has feelings for Xiaomo, then it's really hard to say, in case there is movement on Xiaomo's side, but some fat people drink, I hope he has done a good job of safety measures, but I don't think it's necessarily, with the fat man's big nerves, this kind of thing can't be said, even if you ask him, he is full of nonsense.

After Xiaomo finished putting on makeup, the three of us walked out together, and after leaving the room, we found a place to have some breakfast, and then sent Xiaomo back to school under the reluctant gaze of the fat man.

After the girls met the school, I took the fat man along the route on the navigation and drove directly to the Panjiayuan side.

Panjiayuan's current definition, in fact, belongs to a thrift market, of course, this old goods are more, located in the east third ring of the capital, the entire Panjiayuan covers an area of nearly 50,000 square meters, that is, the size of seven standard international football fields, and every year the turnover of various things here is more than billions of yuan, this is still only the amount on the surface, privately, there is no way to estimate, but it is certain that the amount is very large.

From the time it was first established in 92 to the present, Panjiayuan has been the most iconic place in the antique world.

The market will be open 365 days a year, but the stalls are only open every weekend, and the weekend Panjiayuan can be described as a grand event, with a daily passenger flow of 70,000 or 80,000, and there are nearly 10,000 foreigners alone.

In addition to antiques here, the more popular ones are more than a dozen ethnic groups, those dazzling characteristic handicrafts, which are gathered from all over the country to Panjiayuan, and then from Panjiayuan to the world.

The stall is the time when Panjiayuan gathers the most people, but there are naturally few good goods on this kind of stall, unless the kind of insider with a particularly poisonous eye can fish out the high-quality goods on the stall, otherwise most of them can only be taken home as a decoration and souvenir.

This good product is not easy to sell during the day, so naturally it will wait until the evening, so from the late Qing Dynasty, another kind of market began to form, that is, the ghost market.

The origin of the ghost market is naturally inseparable from a concept, that is, the night, and the ghost market in Panjiayuan can actually be called a night market, but it is different from the ordinary night market.

Because the night market is to put it bluntly, in fact, it starts at dusk, and in the first half of the night, that is, around the early hours of the morning, most of them begin to disperse, nothing more than to buy some food and drink, only a small part can last until dawn, or directly all night, in fact, this kind of night market can only be called nightlife, not a real ghost market.

And the real ghost market is from the second half of the night, but a bit of the chicken song lights out do not touch the meaning of gold, that is, to the chicken song as the limit, and when the day is about to dawn, it is necessary to close the stalls, the ghost market on the side of Panjiayuan, it is definitely the ghost market of old Beijing, very elegant.

In the late Qing Dynasty, it was the end of a very turbulent year in the country, at that time the Qing Dynasty had come to a strange road, and when the country was about to die, the emperor was already difficult to protect himself, and many princes and ministers were naturally unable to protect the position.

But then again, after all, they are all former famous nobles, and where are the prominent families willing to leave their children to set up stalls on the streets, so they take advantage of the second half of the night, before dawn, to take the antiques in the family to the street to sell, which can not only avoid acquaintances, but also make a sale.

Old Beijing is naturally a more difficult place to say, after so many years of being an imperial city, this emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and those nobles who are in the middle of the road take it out, naturally it is not ordinary, and over time, such a market has been formed, that is, a ghost market.

You must know that in ancient times, there were no flashlights or anything like that, so you can imagine what the ghost market was like at that time, the poor would hold two flints in their hands, and knock on the lights as they walked, and the rich would carry lanterns, no matter what kind of lighting equipment was like ghost fire.

The figure shuttles through this, and it is natural that there is an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, and there may be more than just people at this time, after all, there are not only people in this world who come to join in the fun.

The ghost market is open before the dawn of yin and yang, that is, the darkest hour of the day, so there are often many taboos when buying things in the ghost market.

Legend has it that when the Empress Dowager Cixi celebrated her sixtieth birthday, she had to let the little eunuchs under her hands prepare to go to the fox fur, at that time it was the national disaster at the head, and the people were not happy, where did the little eunuchs go to get the fox fur for her, if you can't find it, at that time, you have to lose your head, and you can give your life in minutes, so the little eunuchs remember it like ants on a hot pot, and in the end there is really no way, so you can only burn high incense and worship the Buddha.

Perhaps it was their piety that moved the gods and Buddhas, and the immortals instructed them to go to the ghost market to buy, so a group of people took advantage of the night to buy the fox fur in the ghost market, and the seller directly turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared after selling it to them.

There are not too many things like this in Panjiayuan, and the speaker loves to talk and listen to it, so it has been passed down from generation to generation, and both sides are tired of it, but it is quite a bit of a feeling of chatting fasting, in the early years, there were many things in the ghost market of the capital in the Longmen array placed in Chengdu.

So many years have passed, the legend of the ghost market of Panjiayuan has formed a very unique culture, in the modern city, it is quite a bit of ancient taste, even if the kind of unsightly deeds are much less, but if that kind of thing is really extinct, there is no need for the ghost market to exist, the so-called coexistence of good and evil, there is no absolute, and this is exactly the truth.

Today, Panjiayuan is not just the name of a street or hell, but a symbol, which is synonymous with the antique market.

As a huge force in the inverted fighting world, if Mao Sanzhi doesn't have a shop in Panjiayuan, tell the ghosts, the ghosts don't believe it, the two shops are one east and one west, the one in the east is the one who inherits the father, and the one in the west is the one that came later, I only know that there are two shops, and I have never been in, and the guys inside naturally don't know me very well, so I didn't bother them first, and took the fat man around the streets of Panjiayuan a few times.
