Ghost City?

I was stunned, and said very curiously, "I'm talking to you about business...... I'm in the mood to talk to you about a market that sells fake goods, I really have a market, you're helping me think about what's special there, I have a friend who may go back to that place to do something big in the near future, I'm worried that if I don't stop her in time, there will be some big mess, don't make fun of me! ”

Why do I say this, because I used to love to read some scripts in Tianjin, and I happen to know what a ghost market is.

The origin of this ghost market can be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty, on Tianbao Road in Tianjin's Nankai District, there used to be a market specializing in antique goods, and the name of this market sounds really a bit creepy - ghost market.

Why is it called that...... It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, this is a place where refugees gather, this market of refugees has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, it is opened before dawn, and the stalls are closed at dawn, whenever before dawn, the market is bustling with very lively, each stall is lit with a kerosene lamp, candles, soybean oil lamps or something, at that time, in addition to the shacks built by the refugees, there are pieces of farmland and mass graves.

Looking at it from afar, the lights and shadows are bright and dim, flickering, and there are people who are buying and selling in the shadows, and the situation is so frightening that people who don't know it will be startled, and then people will call it a ghost market.

Why is it called that? That's a long way to say......

It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, every natural disaster and man-made disaster, the victims who fled came to Tianjin to find a way to live, according to historical records, there was a porridge factory for the victims of porridge near Tianbao Road in the Guangxu period, a fire, burned more than 1,000 people, countless wounded, it can be seen that the number of disaster victims is too much.

As the number of victims continued to increase, food, clothing, and supplies became a problem, so some people opened up the minds of the victims and walked the streets and alleys to collect some old things that others did not use and sell them to the victims. Over time, a thrift market spontaneously formed in the area of Tianbao Road.

But why open before dawn and close as soon as the morning breaks?

There is a lot to talk about here, in those years, whether it was the things that were collected or the things that were not used at home, it was not like now, even new and unopened, most of them were tattered.

What to do? Hell yes!

Some people fold the place where the cotton leaks out of the torn cotton clothes so that you can't see it...... Some of them brush their old shoes with ink, and they look much newer...... There are also some furniture to be scattered, which looks very sturdy, and may fall apart when they are pulled home, which is a lie to put it bluntly.

Anyway, the heart of the buy and sell is clear, and I don't say anything when I see it, and I bargain hard, but if you bargain again, it is also "the essence of buying and not selling", in the end, whoever buys it will admit that it is unlucky.

You say, can you do this kind of business in broad daylight?

Therefore, it is customary to open before dawn and close the stall as soon as dawn. Not to mention, there are really ghosts in this ghost market, and the people really live up to its name when they call it that.

And now many years have passed since the reform and opening up, and 80% of the people have lived a well-fed and well-clothed life, so the business of buying and selling shabby items in this ghost market has come to an end, because the lotus pond Putian is cheap and cheap, who still buys old goods, and it is a famous brand that is passed out, and over time, the ghost market will not buy those shabby things, to be precise, it should be tattered, although it is still selling old things, but the old law is different, selling some antiques, or something that escaped from the coffin tomb, After all, it still can't see the light, and in general, it's actually still selling fakes.

Therefore, as soon as I heard Yan Longbow ask me about the ghost market, I immediately ruled out the idea that Jie'er would run there, but Yan Longbow didn't seem to hear the point, I didn't know what to be surprised there by, and I could even shout at me with a disgraced face: "What did you say...... Your friend still dares to make trouble in the ghost market, and the pomp is a bit big, so I must go and see what kind of sacredness this is...... Lao Wang, I won't do the big health package these days, I'm going to go to the ghost market, it's interesting, it's really interesting! ”

Under Yan Longbow's reaction, no matter how stupid I was, I knew that there were some problems with this ghost market, which seemed to be different from what I thought, so I asked with a dead face, and only then did I know that this ghost market was not a ghost market that specialized in selling fakes as I imagined, but a ghost market worthy of the real meaning...... It's the market of ghosts.

The so-called ghost market, which is equivalent to the kind of expo that our city has to hold several times a year, is just that the protagonists of this expo are not some businesses, but some demons and monsters that do not appear on weekdays, of course, monsters are still quite rare, or mainly ghosts, so it is called a ghost market, and the simple point is that ghosts bring some of their specialties for people from all walks of life to buy and sell.

The reason why this ghost city exists is because although ghosts are a species that is jointly suppressed by Buddhism, but it is only those guys at the bottom, as if they are in the sky, the soul hall is shouted and beaten by everyone, but the soul race is an ancient race, obviously, in the face of absolute strength, all high-level parties will naturally not choose to carry it to the end, this ghost city is a means of balance, for ghosts and humans to exchange, after all, some things are very precious to ghosts, but they can't get their hands on it at all, It can only be robbed, so in order to avoid too many such things from happening, we will establish such a ghost market, exchange with each other, balance the two sides, and promote exchanges between the two sides, which is somewhat similar to the diplomacy often mentioned on TV.

It can be said that every ghost market is highly valued by the major forces, these forces will not only send some strong people in their own forces to maintain order, but also invite some people from the two top forces in Taoism and Buddhism to be responsible for management, so the security level of this ghost market is absolutely nothing to say, so many ghost markets have been carried out, and no one or force has ever made trouble.

And this time Yan Longbow was very surprised, it happened that this time the ghost market invited him to sit in the town, just to prevent any accidents from happening in the ghost market, who expected him to be troublesome, and was ready to find someone to go to the top, so that he could be happy and happy, but after listening to my words, he suddenly became interested, and immediately asked me to rush to the scene of the ghost market immediately, help him deal with things, and by the way, see where my short-eyed friend is.

It seems that this is the place where Jie'er is going......

I couldn't help but feel a little worried in my heart, took a deep breath, and immediately rushed towards the location of the ghost market...... (To be continued.) )
