Chapter 272 Houhai, a mysterious place

 "Priceless!" Master glanced at Fangyuan and said.

"Priceless?" Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

I guess this dragon pendant is priceless in Master's eyes, but Master doesn't know that everything has a price.

In later generations, wasn't this dragon pendant also auctioned? Since it was auctioned, it means it still has a price.

Of course, things are different now. Once this thing is in Fangyuan’s hands, it will no longer appear at the auction.

After lunch, Fangyuan followed Master's instructions and went to the backyard. He opened the door and rows of shelves appeared in front of Fangyuan.

These shelves are filled with a variety of items, including goldware, silverware, jade, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, etc.

It can be said that none of them are ordinary. Fangyuan took a tiger-like jade in his hand and started to observe.

Of course, he held it with his left hand, because his right hand cannot touch the jade now.

According to the master, this jade is now worth six hundred yuan, but Fangyuan has never been able to see what is special about this jade.

Except that it looks pretty and vivid, there really is nothing special about it.

As for the material, this is a piece of mutton-fat white jade, and there is a yellow impurity on the back of the tiger.

Although this makes the entire jade article look more vivid, impurities are just impurities.

Unable to figure it out, Fangyuan looked at it for a while and then put it down. Anyan picked up another piece of jade and saw that it was also a piece of mutton-fat white jade.

It's just a jade Guanyin, completely white, without any impurities. This is also Fangyuan's favorite jade.

Unknowingly, Fangyuan watched countless kinds of videos, and it was already evening.

Although Fangyuan didn't understand why, he felt that he understood a lot about these old objects.

This is probably why Master keeps letting him see these things.

From the beginning to the end, the master did not teach him to identify antiques. He just let him look at them and told him the value of each item.

Of course, this is the current value.

"How is it going? What did you gain today?" Master asked during dinner in the evening.

Fangyuan scratched his head and said, "I haven't gained anything at all! I just have a little more in my heart."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, Master smiled and didn't ask him anything else.

This is indeed his method of teaching Fangyuan. No matter how much he teaches, it is not as much as what he learns.

As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and cultivation depends on the individual. He is now leading Fangyuan into the door. As for the future, it is entirely up to Fangyuan himself.

If Fangyuan likes this stuff, it goes without saying that he will get interested in it himself. If he doesn't like it, it's useless no matter how much he teaches.

There was nothing to say all night. After dinner the next morning, seeing that Fangyuan seemed to have no intention of going out, Master asked: "Are you not going to Pigeon Market today?"

"Yes, Master, I won't go to Pigeon Market today."

Although it was strange, the master didn’t need to ask any more questions and just said, “Since you’re not going to the pigeon market, let’s go to the backyard!”

"Master, I have to go out in a while. Let's watch it in the afternoon."

"Yes! Okay."

Fangyuan won’t go to the pigeon market, but he wants to make money! He has no money left.

If you don’t make money, let alone collect things, eating will become a problem immediately. Don’t forget, except for meat, everything Fangyuan eats is bought with money.

Ten minutes later, Fangyuan tidied up, came out from Master's house, started the jeep, and left.

Fangyuan did not leave the city, but drove to Houhai, a place Fangyuan had just learned about.

I just learned this. It’s not about Houhai, but the market here. How could Houhai Fangyuan not know about it?

In later generations, it can be said that anyone who has lived in the imperial capital for a period of time will know Houhai.

In the past, Fang Yuan always thought that there were four major pigeon markets in the imperial capital, but it turned out that there was also a large pigeon market in the city.

Although the scale is not comparable to the four major pigeon markets outside the city, the transaction volume is not less than the four major pigeon markets, or even a little more.

The most important thing is that Houhai Pigeon Market not only trades various bills and food, but also trades other things here.

Such as gold and silver jewelry, antique furniture, calligraphy and painting, etc.

If Master hadn't told him, Fangyuan might never have known about this place.

There is no way, maybe because it is in the city, it is very hidden here, and if you don't know, you can't find it at all.

Fangyuan parked the car in an open space and walked there.

After walking for almost 200 meters, we crossed a bridge, and then a big red door appeared. Fangyuan went up, grabbed the door knocker, and knocked.

Soon the door opened a crack, and it was Fangyuan who was seen. The door opened a little wider, and then Fangyuan went in.

After Fangyuan came in, the door was closed again, then Fangyuan took out a dollar and handed it over, and the person who opened the door gave him a sign.

Fangyuan took a look and saw that the number on the sign was seven hundred and thirty-one, which meant that there were already seven hundred and thirty people in front of him.

Yes! It's not free here. It costs one yuan to come in. To put it bluntly, you just have to buy a ticket.

And this is only the first door. When you get to the second door, the sign will be taken away.

Regardless of whether you gain something today or not, this dollar will not be refunded.

Fangyuan has been here several times, so she is very familiar with it.

Soon we arrived at the second door. There were two people guarding it. Fangyuan handed the sign to them and let Fangyuan go in.

After entering the second door, it was lively inside, with all kinds of bargains and bargains.

There are three types of people who come here, one is purely selling things, the other is purely buying things, and there are also those like Fangyuan who are both buying and selling.

Those who sell things should put out the things they want to sell directly, so they don’t need to worry about losing them or having any accidents.

If someone takes a fancy to it, they will come over directly and haggle over the price. Those who want to buy things will just wander around to see if there is anything they want to buy.

Fangyuan had no money now, so he was selling things for the time being. He found an empty space at random. Fangyuan took out a piece of cloth from his schoolbag, spread it on the ground, and then put the things he wanted to sell on it.

The place here is very big. It is actually the courtyard of a big house. There are lawns, gardens, corridors and pavilions.

Everyone is scattered everywhere, like Fangyuan, who is now in a pavilion.

After placing things, he sat on the wooden chair in the pavilion.

There are many things displayed in the square, and they are also very miscellaneous. It can be said that they are not valuable things.

Food stamps, industrial coupons, all kinds of bills, there are at least dozens of them.

Look next to you, what are they displaying? They are either antiques, calligraphy and paintings, or things like land deeds.

It can be said that they are two extremes, and it is precisely because of this that Fangyuan comes here.

No matter how rich you are, you still have to eat, drink, and have diarrhea! As long as you eat, drink, and have diarrhea, you can't do without things like Fangyuan.

No, less than two minutes after Fangyuan arrived, someone squatted down in front of his stall.

"How to sell this?"

Fangyuan took a look and said, "Two cents per foot."

Yes! This middle-aged man fell in love with the cloth tickets at the Fangyuan stall.

"Give me twenty feet."

"Okay."

Cloth tickets are not valuable. Two cents per foot is just the price here. If you can sell them for 12 cents per foot in Pigeon Market outside the city, that would be pretty good.

Fangyuan quickly counted out twenty feet of cloth tickets and handed them over, then took the four dollars handed over by the middle-aged man.

"Hey! Mr. Fang, why are you here today?"

Just as Fangyuan finished the transaction with this middle-aged man, he met an acquaintance.

"Master Niu, are you here too?" Fang Yuan quickly stood up and hugged Master Niu.

Master Niu is an old man in his fifties and is very familiar with Master Fangyuan. Similarly, Master Niu also introduced Master Niu to Fangyuan.

Fangyuan remembers it very clearly, because it was the first time he was called "ye". Although it was just an honorific title, for Fangyuan, it was considered entering this circle.

"Your master didn't come?" Mr. Niu looked around and didn't see Master Fangyuan, so he asked.

"No." Fangyuan shook his head.

"That's it! I saw that your master is taking his time off."

Fangyuan scratched his head and said: "Maybe! By the way, Mr. Niu, you are here today..."

"Me! I came here today to see if I can find something good."

"Master Niu, I just looked around and there are a lot of good products today."

"Oh!" Mr. Niu looked at Fangyuan and said, "Why don't you sell some good goods?"

Fangyuan spread his hands and said, "I would like to take action! But I have no money."

Fangyuan is absolutely telling the truth. He really has no money, otherwise he wouldn't be here selling these things.

"Master Fang, if someone else said this, I would definitely believe it, but if you, Master Fang, said this, why don't I believe it!"

People are like this, sometimes the more you tell the truth, the less others believe it, just like now.

In fact, this is mainly because of Fangyuan himself. You must know that Fangyuan came here before, but he bought whatever he liked.

Sometimes the price is raised so high that others have no chance to bid.

Therefore, Fangyuan gives others the impression that he is not short of money, and that he is the kind of person who is stupid and has too much money.

Now Fangyuan suddenly says that he has no money, how can people believe it?

So after all is said and done, people don’t believe that the root of this is still within him.

Fangyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Master Niu, even if I lie to someone, I won't lie to you, right?"

"Uh!" Mr. Niu was stunned for a moment, looked at Fangyuan and asked, "Fangyuan, are you serious?"

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded.

"Alas!" Mr. Niu sighed and said, "I told you before that I asked you to lower the price, but you didn't listen!"

It's not that Fangyuan doesn't listen, but he can't suppress it, because those are all good things and he doesn't want to miss any of them.

He is different from others. If others miss it, they miss it. Even if they can't buy it, it doesn't matter. But Fangyuan doesn't want to! He will regret missing any of the things he likes.

"Yes, yes, Master Niu taught you the right lesson. I will definitely learn from it in the future."

"Okay, I'll go for a walk first, and we'll talk later."

"Okay Mr. Niu, I hope you can find someone you like."

"Thank you!"
