Similarly, there are more people coming here to buy things.
In addition to ordinary citizens buying some used goods for their own use in order to save money.
Whether it's "playing the snare drum" or working in a secondhand shop or setting up a stall.
Or gamers and collectors who like art and entertainment also like to chase the ghost market.
If not for anything else, it’s because the ghost market is a mixed bag.
There are certainly a lot of treacherous villains who cheat on you, but there are also a lot of people who take advantage of you and don't know your treasure.
Among them, "there is a lot of hope".
If a person is really capable, he can often use his knowledge and eyesight to find rare treasures among many seemingly ordinary items, which is called buying "delicacy".
Sometimes you can make a fortune by buying a famous calligraphy and painting or famous ancient porcelain.
Take Kang Shude’s own experience as an example.
The most typical sweet deal he ever made was to buy a few old letters.
It seems to be only two or three inches of ocean.
Later, I took it back and it was verified by Mr. Song that it was indeed the handwriting of Mr. Yu Quyuan (Yue), with the usual seal added.
He easily flipped his hand and sold it for more than three hundred yuan, making a huge profit of more than a thousand times.
Of course, the reverse is also true.
Once you buy something that is "wrong", you will have to lose money, which is called "eye-catching".
It's like fake gold, fake silver, fake ivory pipe made from oil stained smoke.
Fake Zhaozi jade cricket jars painted black with the name "black jade jar" were common in Xiaoshi in the past.
There are also fake ancient ink, fake antiques, smashed porcelain, and so on.
The most outrageous thing is that someone bought a coat with fur attached to it using cardboard glue.
Someone bought a roast duck and it turned out to be a duck rack made of paste, then covered with paper and oiled.
This fully illustrates the risks and characteristics of this market.
There is also the location where the ghost market operates, which has also changed several times in history.
For example, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the capital city had two cities, the north and the south.
The southern city is located outside Chongwenmen in the east of the city, and the northern city is located along the northeast river bank of Deshengmen Waiqiao.
Since the 21st year of the Republic of China, there have been wars and the city gates have been open late.
It was changed to the northwest corner of Shichahai Houhai, outside the west wall of Prince Chun's Mansion, and in front of Shichahai Temple.
The place name is Duanjia Hutong, which was named after the Duan family of Puantang who sold Kanlisha.
After liberation, there were only five second-hand ghost markets in Beijing.
They are respectively in Deshengmen, Andingmen, Xuanwai Old Wall Root, and the Red Bridge and White Bridge in Chongwen District.
Later, during the "movement" years, these five places were banned again.
Nowadays, Tangen'erxiao City, which is re-emerging in Chongwen District, actually does not have many days.
Kang Shude discovered it by chance when he passed by the north gate of the Temple of Heaven on his morning shift a few days ago.
Isn't the Jade Factory right next to Longtan Lake Park?
So in the next few days, the old man came here to enjoy his eyesight.
Although he found that the stalls were now in disarray, as noisy and chaotic as a farmer's market.
Obviously many people no longer understand the rules of the past.
But as an insider, the old man was very happy to see such a scene.
You know, this will take a few years, and there is no place for him to see this kind of place.
Now that I have recovered, it is not easy!
When he got here, he really smelled the business here, and he didn't want to leave.
Coincidentally, I happened to meet Ning Weimin, who was a bit out of his element in fish farming, and his body and bones were broken looking at it.
After all, the old man couldn't restrain his desire to take action himself.
Since I wanted to reward this apprentice for his righteousness, I didn't want Ning Weimin to suffer because of his kindness.
It is also a good opportunity to show off your abilities to your apprentice and teach him some real skills.
That's why things like this happened today.
…………
The ghost market at around five o'clock in the morning is a scene that people with normal daily routine can never imagine.
These days, street lights only have a 25-degree bulb every few dozen meters, and the light is really weak.
Under such almost non-existent lighting conditions, dozens of street stalls were placed under the wall of the north gate of the Temple of Heaven.
Each stall was lit with a small, semi-dark lamp, a cloth was spread on the floor, and things were placed on it.
The faces of people are blurry, but the classification of people is clear.
Ning Weimin had pedaled closely with Kang Shude all the way, so it was not too late for them to reach Xiaoshi.
Although there are already people hanging around at the base of the city wall, they are only scattered.
Including the two of them, there are not enough people to watch.
To be honest, Ning Weimin hurriedly arrived here and was a little disappointed when he got out of the car in a hot sweat.
Because the situation before him was incomparable to the "Big Willow Ghost Market" he had visited in his previous life.
There are so few stalls that it takes about ten minutes to walk through the water.
Moreover, as the old man said in advance, the quality of stall owners varies greatly.
Many people can't sit still and like to take the initiative to attract guests.
But maybe it's because the buyers who are willing to come early are basically regular customers from the past, and they appear to be much more professional.
Almost all buyers hold flashlights and generally don't speak easily.
First hold up the flashlight and look at the thing. If you are not satisfied, never speak.
And once he opens his mouth, he rushes to discuss the price.
What followed was a game and confrontation where it was hard to say whether to win or lose.
Of course, from this perspective, it is actually a good thing to buy better than to sell.
This is in their own interest.
And having said that, there are really no contemporary fakes these days.
No matter how unlucky you are, no matter how ignorant the owner is, if you just close your eyes and buy one, at most it will be a replica from the Republic of China.
In this regard, it is much better than those ghost markets in the previous life.
So when Ning Weimin looked over, he found that there were quite a few decent things.
There are porcelain, woodware, copperware, pen holders, snuff bottles, hanging watches, scrolls, everything on the stalls.
He couldn't restrain his joy again.
Don't tell me, this trip is really just for picking up money, maybe you can get some good stuff.
It's better to listen to Master, don't talk nonsense and just follow it honestly.
Unlike Ning Weimin who was full of interest and expectations.
Although Kang Shude was calm and composed, he was actually a little depressed.
Because in the first two days, several things he had just been looking at were gone.
Originally, he thought that few people knew about the ghost market and others could not tell.
I want to wait until it becomes an unsellable "goods on the market" and then take it away at a low price.
The result is good, this wait is all in vain.
It seems that this market is attracting more and more people, and there are more and more experts. If you have good things, you can't wait any longer.
With this thought in mind, he picked it up more carefully.
Because he didn't want to disappoint Ning Weimin too much, he had to take away one or two items to make sure his last trip was not in vain.
But it was weird. The more he thought about it, the more the old man realized that it was really hard to find something that caught his eye.
After shopping around for a long time, he finally decided to buy an inkstone for more than two yuan.
When he got up and rubbed his sore and numb legs, the old man was still thinking about it.
Although the texture of this Xianfeng-year-old Lu inkstone is okay, it has cracks. If you look back, you can sell it for thirty yuan.
Can Ning Weimin appreciate this advantage?
Although it is a little more troublesome than this kid, it is not that big of a difference. Anyway, it does not match the tone he said yesterday.
For this reason, it was inevitable that I would feel a little resentful, thinking that I might lose face this time.
But at this moment, a stall he had never seen in the past two days attracted his attention.
So much so that he took a few quick glances and felt refreshed.
