Chapter 232: Panjiayuan "Ghost Market"

Both of them are very happy today, Jiang Yulou is happy to earn another set of courtyard houses, and Meng Weiya is happy that his efforts have been rewarded.

When Jiang Yulou wanted to pay the bill, he found that Meng Weiya had already paid in advance.

After returning to the courtyard of Goldfish Hutong, Jiang Yulou, who was only slightly blushing, also rested for a while.

After the wine woke up, Jiang Yulou suddenly felt that it was no longer interesting to do anything. Writing, security doesn't want to write, don't want to write a word.

Not only today, but after returning from Xiangjiang, he is in such a state.

He knew that he had not reached the bottleneck period of creation, nor was he bored with writing, it was purely because he had been flying back and forth in Xiangjiang Yanjing recently, and he was too tired physically, so he just had to rest for two days.

Jing Ji thought about it, he thought that he would simply go out with his eldest brother for a walk, maybe the state would come back.

So, after talking to the eldest brother in the evening, Jiang Yuanchao agreed.

At about three o'clock in the morning of the next day, the brothers got on their bicycles, met Ma Dudu, and went to the destination of the trip together, Panjiayuan.

Speaking of Panjiayuan, it is naturally famous in later generations, but nowadays, it is just a thrift market for upside-down jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

To say that there are special, but it is definitely not as miraculous as later generations.

As for why it went so early, it was because there was a ghost market in Panjiayuan today.

"Ghost market" refers to a kind of temporary market that specializes in selling antiques at three or four o'clock in the morning, and the "ghost market" can be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. At that time, the fortunes of the country were in decline, and many dignitaries and dignitaries were in the middle of the road, so they stole the antiques of their families and sold them on the street. After all, this is a matter of losing identity, and you can only choose to trade with lanterns at three or four o'clock in the morning, so that the buyer cannot see his face. It is named because it looks like a ghost. Connoisseurs who often play Panjiayuan know that if you want to find good goods, you have to visit the "ghost market".

When the three of them arrived at Panjiayuan, the market had not yet opened.

However, the door is already full of people, stall owners carry cardboard boxes full of small handicrafts in tricycles, and customers gather outside the Panjiayuan Market on bicycles and walks, crowded with people, and the gate is clanging.

Looking at the figure at the door, Jiang Yulou was surprised: "Are there so many people visiting Panjiayuan?" ”

"Almost, it's not the weekend yet, otherwise there would be more people." Ma Dudu's expression remained unchanged, obviously there was no shortage of people here.

Jiang Yulou said curiously: "They all say that you can make a fortune in Panjiayuan, is it true or false?" ”

Jiang Yuanchao also looked at Ma Dudu, he was also curious.

"There are many people doing business in Panjiayuan, and many people rely on wheelbarrows, and if they are lucky, it is easy to earn 180 yuan a day. These are the conclusions I have come to through observation, fidelity. ”

"If you talk about the legendary story of the beginning, it's simply endless. For example, someone buys a sword for 15 yuan, and it ends up selling for hundreds or thousands of dollars; Someone bought a dish for 30 yuan, and it turned out to be Yuan Qinghua, which even shocked the government; Someone spent 10 yuan to buy a pair of mahjong that is said to be the Republic of China, but it was purchased by Taiwanese compatriots......

Just because there are many stories that are true or false, many people in the industry say that Pan Jiayuan can make a fortune. ”

Ma Dudu told his observations and hearsay stories in front of the two, and Jiang Yuanchao's blood boiled when he heard it, and the person who wanted to pick up the leak was himself.

As soon as the gate opened at half-past four, the crowd rushed in and quickly took their places.

After the market opened, although there were many people, the market was not noisy, and everyone was whispering.

The old customers have a flashlight in their hands, the original intention is to see the goods more clearly, this is the rule handed down from the previous life, but it does not have to be so grand, because the era is different, Panjiayuan now has electric lights, very bright.

But a flashlight is a must, it's just a sign that the buyer knows how to do it.

Jiang Yulou and the three of them blended into the crowd and were not conspicuous among them.

They also have no purpose, they just follow the crowd forward, and when they encounter an interest, they stop and take a look.

At this time, a small stall caught Jiang Yulou's attention.

He saw two customers gathered around a stall picking and choosing, and said something, as if they were bargaining.

"Let's go over and have a look."

So, the three of them also arrived at the stall.

The two customers didn't have a Yenching accent but a southern accent.

Judging from the tricycle they rode, the two gained a lot of money and loaded a lot of good things.

This time, the two seemed to have taken a fancy to a blue and white porcelain porcelain on the stall. Seeing that the two kept making eye contact, they seemed to be a little uncertain.

Jiang Yulou and the three of them also came over to take a look, but the stall owner and the other two did not stop them, so the three of them took turns picking up the blue and white porcelain and looked at it.

I saw this piece of blue and white porcelain, the whole is like a spool, in the shape of an I-shape, the two ends of the plate-like mouth along the size of the style is completely symmetrical, up and down, the pattern of the body is also very different, such as the lotus petal pattern but a little hypertrophied, in addition, the blue and white halo of the body is also a little serious, and there are some unevenness.

Just when Jiang Yulou and the others were playing with the porcelain in their hands, the two customers also came to a conclusion.

To be honest, these two customers are also well-informed, but they have never seen such a shape of utensils, but the feel of seeing things should be an old object, so they gave a price, five yuan.

Truth be told, the price is a bit low, they have their own ideas. They can't be sure of the authenticity of this blue and white porcelain for the time being, and they bought it with this money, even if it is fake, it is not too much of a loss, if the boss wants to bargain, then he loves to sell it or not.

Sure enough, when the stall owner heard this price, he was a little lost.

"I see that the old wooden dressing box you bought next to my stall paid fifteen yuan, and I still have a porcelain piece, and the quality is complete, so you can't just give five yuan, right?"

The stall owner was unwilling and wanted these two people to give him a little more money, but who knew that these two people didn't pay attention to him at all, and said one sentence over and over again: "Just offer this price, love to sell or not." ”

The frustrated stall owner, seeing the other party's tough attitude, sighed, and was about to agree to make a move, when someone suddenly stopped him: "This old brother, I will accept this thing from you!" ”

This person is naturally Jiang Yulou, and he decided to buy it after discussing it with Ma Dudu.

Ma Dudu and his teacher have not been learning to identify for a long time, and they are also not sure that the blue and white porcelain in front of him is genuine, but he dares to guarantee that it must be an antique.

Since it is an antique, there is no reason to lose money, so there is what Jiang Yulou said just now.

Seeing this, the two customers thought that their peers had come to grab the goods, and couldn't help sneering: "This old man, he really has money and nowhere to spend, he dares to collect any rags, and he is not afraid of slapping his eyes?" ”
