Ghost markets were most popular in the 20 to 30 years before liberation. After liberation, a planned economy was implemented. Before the reform and opening up, few people dared to set up stalls on the streets, so the ghost markets disappeared from everyone's mind for a time.
In the field of vision, it was only in the 1990s that it slowly appeared in people's field of vision again.
However, antique ghost markets are still extremely rare. Except for a few big cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, and Xi'an, there are no ghost markets even in Guangzhou. Although there is a word "ghost" in Cantonese,
But that refers to some unlicensed vendors, which have nothing to do with antique ghost markets.
Even in those cities where there are antique ghost markets, ghost markets do not happen every day, because the vendors in the ghost markets often come from all over the world, are highly mobile, and have complex identities, covering all three religions and nine streams, so
In those cities, there are antique ghost markets for only one or two days every week.
"Fourth brother, what you said is true. There will be a ghost market in Pingzhou?"
Zhuang Rui didn't quite believe that an antique ghost market, which was rare in several big cities, would exist in a small place like Pingzhou?
"My old man said yes. He came here last year. I don't know exactly what happened. Wait, I'll find someone to ask." Although Bi Yuntao is from Guangdong, this is his first time in Pingzhou, a ghost market.
The thing is that he heard it mentioned by the elders in his family and thought that Zhuang Rui was good at playing antiques now, so he mentioned it casually. If he asked more carefully, he didn't know.
The fourth child is not interested in living in Pingzhou. In his eyes, Pingzhou is just the same as the countryside. Although the hotel he is staying in now is billed as a four-star hotel, it is nothing compared to the three-star hotels in Guangzhou.
It's a lot different now, and because of the rough stone trade fair being held during this period, the room price is almost comparable to that of a five-star hotel.
Just now, the fourth child persuaded Zhuang Rui to live in Guangzhou. Anyway, the distance is not very far. If you drive, you can get there in less than an hour. However, Zhuang Rui and Song Jun made an appointment to meet at this hotel, and they brought them with them in this small place.
It's also convenient for a white lion. He can't go anywhere without a dog license for half the city.
"Hey, pretty girl, come here, yes, it's you."
The fourth boy stood up from the sofa and shouted to a waiter in front of the service desk. Zhuang Rui and the boss looked up and quickly lowered their heads. They admired the fourth boy in their hearts. At this time, they had not yet
If there are monsters like Sister Feng, this waiter's appearance is enough to compete with the likes of Sister Feng.
"Beauty, let me ask you something. I heard that there are stalls here early in the morning. Is it true? Do you know where they are? It doesn't matter if you don't know. How can a beauty like you go to a street stall?
"
The fourth child's skills were profound enough. Looking at the buck-toothed and freckle-faced waiter in front of him, he not only talked and laughed freely, but even complimented him casually. Hearing what Zhuang Rui and Weiwei had eaten last night, they were all excited.
They almost vomited it out. They couldn't figure out whether this hotel should do business, so they arranged for such a person to stand at the front desk.
"Beautiful boy, let me tell you, you have really inquired about the right person. I know this. Those who are on duty during the day really don't know about this. I am on duty at night, and some customers go out at four or five o'clock in the morning. Just fuck you.
I’m talking about the market where stalls are set up early in the morning. I heard that there are not good people in that market, everyone is sneaky, and..."
"Wait a minute, you'd better tell me first where the market with stalls set up early in the morning is. It's already bright, but if you go there late, it won't be there."
This buck-toothed waitress may have been on duty all night, and she was very depressed. When she saw a handsome boy like the fourth boy calling her beautiful, she immediately became energetic. However, she kept talking for a long time and didn't say the topic. She spat.
Xingzi squirted so much that the fourth child kept retreating, because if he stood still, that big blood-red mouth would probably be printed on his face.
"Isn't it just on Jade Street? Go out from here, walk 300 meters forward and you'll be there. There's nothing good to do there. I heard they sell scrap metal, so how can you do it here?
The air-conditioning is comfortable, I said you are handsome, eh... where is the person?"
The buck-toothed waitress was talking happily when she suddenly realized that the three people sitting on the sofa had all disappeared. Even the big dog that had been lying on the ground was nowhere to be seen.
"Qi Xing (Cantonese: crazy), chatting with a beautiful woman and running around..."
The buck-toothed girl bared her teeth, turned around and returned to the service desk. But she must be in a good mood today. You know, it's rare for someone to call her a pretty girl all year round.
…
"Fourth child, I know now. If it's shamelessness, the second child will definitely not be able to compare with you. For such a woman, you can also call her beautiful. Brother, I admire you."
At this time, the three of them were already walking on the deserted street. Zhuang Rui was also followed by the white lion. The sound of Viagra echoed on the road very loudly.
When the fourth child heard this, he curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "What does this mean? This is how the Cantonese people speak. An old man like Zeng Zhiwei, who is almost fifty years old, can be called a handsome boy. What's wrong with the beauty? By the way, old man
Well, your dog shouldn’t bite, otherwise you’ll easily get into trouble here.”
When the fourth child saw the white lion and followed him out, he couldn't help but asked. Although pets are not prohibited in Guangdong, the control of large dogs is still very strict.
Zhuang Rui rubbed the white lion's big head and replied: "It's okay, the white lion is very obedient and won't bite people..."
When the white lion was smaller, it looked very cute. At that time, someone might tease it, but now the white lion can only be described as powerful. Most people would avoid it if they saw it. How dare they go up and provoke it?
Lions are now immune to places with a lot of people. They can only show their teeth to scare people, but they won't actually bite.
Pingzhou Jade Street is located on Yong'an Road, Guicheng Street, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province. It has already begun to take shape in the mid-1970s. It is quite famous in the industry. The production and sales of jade are the largest in the country, ranking among the fourth in the country.
The head of the large jade market, it is famous for its processing of jadeite-grade bare-body jadeware.
Since the reform and opening up, self-employed businesses have sprung up in Pingzhou.
The experienced jade dealers and skilled craftsmen scattered all over Pingzhou have raised their own funds to go to Tengchong, Yingjiang, Zhangfeng, Ruili and Wanding along the Yunnan-Myanmar border to purchase Burmese jade and come back to process and produce finished jade products in the style of family workshops. .Since Pingzhou Jade Co., Ltd. is good at making naked body parts, which not only has good quality and excellent craftsmanship, but also sells at low prices, it soon became famous in the jade circles in mainland my country, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as Southeast Asia.
Jade vendors from all over the country went directly to Pingdong Duntou Village in Pingzhou to purchase finished jade products, and the Pingzhou Jade Market was formed. The Pingzhou Jade Market was formed in the mid-1980s. By the mid-1990s, the sales output value had increased to over 100%.
billion.
The main jade products of Pingzhou include jade bracelets, jade buckles, chicken hearts and jade bracelets. Their processing technology is exquisite, especially the variety of jade buckles, which are all available. This makes "Pingzhou Kou" famous far and wide. Every year, many products from Hong Kong and Macao are sold.
, Taiwanese tourists often come here because of its reputation.
It was only a few minutes' walk from the hotel to the Jade Street. After turning a corner, Zhuang Rui and others saw this domestically famous Jade Street.
The Jade Street is about 2,000 meters from east to west. On both sides of this street, there are not only the homes of the citizens of the Jade Street, but also the jade shops opened by the citizens at home. Almost every household of the hundreds of residents on this street has a jade processing company.
Workshop is a typical marketing model of front store and back factory. There are also professional processing workshops, such as professional valet cutting, valet carving, valet polishing, etc. Although not many stores are open for business now, the sign at the door of the store says
, all written with words like this.
It's only around six o'clock in the morning. Although the sky is already bright, the sun has not come out yet. In addition, it rained here yesterday, so there will be some thin fog. Through this thin layer, you can vaguely see it.
There are many people walking around on both sides of the Jade Street, but there is no noise like the general market. It really feels like a ghost gate is opening and a ghost is setting up a stall.
"My dear, why do I feel that this place is evil? What good things can be found here? Besides, given the weather, you can't even see the good things. Let's go back and come back when the sun comes out."
Yang Wei was always very timid. When he came to this strange place, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He stretched out his hand to hold Zhuang Rui and stood at the street corner, obviously not wanting to go in.
"Boss, most of these stall holders are grave diggers, and they are more or less infected with the spirit of death. Be careful, don't let some little devil who died unjustly take away your soul.
"
The fourth child knew that Wei Wei was timid and was usually afraid of ghosts and gods, so he deliberately said words to scare him from behind. Wei Wei still followed this trick and grabbed Zhuang Rui's clothes tightly, refusing to move forward at all.
Already.
"I say Fourth Brother, please stop scaring the boss. Opportunities like this in ghost markets are rare. Viagra, don't be afraid either. Follow the white lion and you will be immune to all evil."
Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded by what the fourth child said. He is now eager to go in, because according to common sense, there is generally no ghost market in Pingzhou. It is estimated that with the east wind of this rough stone trade fair, those all over the country
Only people from all walks of life who play antiques gather here.
You must know that antiques and jade are interconnected. Many jade dealers are often antique collectors and are also a relatively powerful group of people in the antique collecting circle. Therefore, antique "ghosts" from all over the country will be there.
Concentrate on this place at this time.
As Lao Si said, the identities of these people are very complicated. It is not unusual for some people to dig graves. It is often in the hands of these people that some high-quality antiques appear.
