Because this market is usually the night or the morning before dawn, in an open field of unknown origin (or through illegal means) goods trading market.
Moreover, such transactions are often carried out in the dark. Over a long period of time, people who love nicknames call the market "ghost market". Later, "ghost market" became the proper pronoun of antique market.
Due to well-known reasons, "ghost market" disappeared from the 1950s to the mid-1980s. Only at the end of the 1980s did the "ghost of death" reappear in several cities around Beijing and pan.
However, different from the old society, most of the antique "ghost markets" in the old age sell second-hand goods, while today's antique "ghost markets" mostly sell new goods.
However, even so, compared with the usual market, the proportion of genuine goods in ghost market is still higher. The key is that the price is cheaper. It is possible that the same thing is half cheaper than in the store.
As a matter of fact, the ghost market is not strange to Chu Chen. Pan Jiayuan also has a ghost market every weekend. He often goes to pick up stalls early, let alone Zhou Wenping. Therefore, he knows the secret of it.
For example, now, although there are real things in the ghost market, he hasn't seen them several times, and the price is not cheap. There are also unscrupulous merchants who take advantage of the darkness to sell some shady fakes. The customers are very easy to get blinded.
Therefore, it is not advisable to go shopping in the ghost market according to the old people's view without a pair of eyes. Of course, hawkers don't recognize it, and it's very common to sell babies as garbage, so some players still enjoy visiting ghost markets.
Hou Yuanming said with a smile: "ghost market, Xiao Chu, you must know that I have been to the ghost market in the capital, but the proportion of authentic products is not as high as Baxian temple. Tomorrow is Sunday. Do you want to go shopping?"
In terms of the proportion of genuine products, baxian'an antique market is indeed higher than that of Panjiayuan, which Chu Chen observed this morning. However, this is also because the base of Panjiayuan is large, so the proportion of genuine products is certainly smaller.
However, a small base has the advantage of a small base, so it will undoubtedly cost less energy, and this is just suitable for the use of abilities. Besides, it's not easy to come to Xijing, and I'm in the antique business. Of course, I can't miss the ghost market.
So Chu Chen readily agreed: "it's rare to come to Xijing. Of course, we can't miss the ghost market. But I don't know much about the ghost market here. When should we go there?"
Hou Yuanming thought about it and said, "it's summer. Let's start at four o'clock."
"Well, Xiaolan, if you go tomorrow, you can't sleep in!" Chu Chen asked other people again.
At this time, Chu Yulan and Zhou Wenping had learned about the ghost city. Their curiosity suddenly increased, and they all agreed to go together.
At this time, Chu Yulan asked: "brother Chu, who is brother Zhao on your phone just now?"
This question made Chu Chen a little surprised. It's strange that she would ask this question. It's a bit inappropriate, but there's nothing to say. So he replied strangely: "Oh, that's Zhao Qirui, president Zhao, the boss of whittrade. Xiao Lan, how can you think of asking this?"
"Oh, I'm a little familiar with the sound. That's my uncle." Chu Yulan's performance is a little sudden.
"What, the boss of whittrade turned out to be Xiaolan's uncle?" Li Guodong was surprised to say that he knew Chu Yulan's life experience should be very good, but he didn't expect that he was so good. He had heard that Zhao Qirui's father was the founding general, and his status was very prominent. He didn't expect that he was Chu Yulan's grandfather.
"Why, is Mr. Zhao very powerful?" Seeing this, Hou Yuanming asked in surprise.
Li Guodong explained: "president Zhao is a billionaire, and his family background is very prominent."
Li Guodong didn't tell the whole story, but even so, Hou Yuanming almost understood that his mother's family had such a family background, and the family would not be so bad. Maybe it was also a red family.
Hou Yuanming thought of this and looked at Chu Yulan with a trace of awe. He had worked in the system at the beginning, and knew that as long as there were leaders in the red family, the energy was not small, and no matter how thin the camel was, it was bigger than the horse.
Chu Yulan said with a smile: "my home is my home, I am me. Please don't look at me with colored glasses. Brother Chu, can you tell me how you know my uncle? I'm really curious. My uncle won't be called brother easily. "
When Chu Chen heard that Zhao Qirui was Chu Yulan's uncle, he was also very surprised. He didn't expect that the world was so small that his uncle and niece would have known him one after another. Now it's no surprise that he could easily solve the problem at the railway station before, so he simply told Zhao Qirui how he met him, and finally said with a smile:
"Xiao Lan, I didn't expect us We are really predestined friendsChu Yulan nodded with a smile, saying that he was really predestined, and he was too predestined, but why did his uncle behave like this? Did he guess wrong? This should not be! Forget it. It's no use thinking more. Let's take a step.
"Oh, I think of a very interesting thing. Brother Chu, your name is brother Zhao, Xiaolan's uncle. Xiaolan calls you brother Chu. Your relationship is really chaotic!" Wen Yuting laughed.
When everyone thought about it, they all laughed.
Seeing this, Chu Chen scratched his head awkwardly and said, "let's go Dutch. Besides, even if I want to call uncle Zhao, he won't agree."
"Brother Chu, the next time you see my uncle, tell him. Maybe he will let you call him uncle?" When Chu Yulan was joking, there was a shrewd light in her eyes.
"Forget it, I dare not." Chuchen said with a smile.
Next, we chatted all over the place, and when the time was almost up, Hou Yuanming drove them to the famous restaurant in Xijing for dinner.
Gourd chicken, sanpisi, Jui hoof soup, steamed pork with lotus leaf powder and so on are all delicately and delicately made. They not only sell well and taste better, but also have rich connotations, which fully reflects the elegance of Shaanxi cuisine.
After having enough to eat and drink, everyone went back to the hotel. In chuchen's room, after enjoying the glass and planting emerald, they went back to their respective rooms to have a rest. When the two girls go back, they are both reluctant to part with each other. I don't know when I will see such jadeite again.
************************************
just after three o'clock, Chu Chen got up. Yesterday, he made an appointment with Hou Yuanming to take feicui to the safe in his shop. Maybe this emerald was made by him. He didn't lose any power when absorbing it, and the progress accumulation was normal. It was a little surprise to him.
When they returned to the hotel, Li Guodong and others got up one after another. Zhou Wenping was in good spirits because of his habit for many years. Li Guodong and the two girls, perhaps because they went to the antique street yesterday, were more excited in the afternoon. Now they all look sleepy.
"I said, can you start with your spirit and go to the ghost market for a while? Don't buy anything and take medicine for the dark lights."
Seeing this, Chu Chen joked.
But it's true. It's already dark and has a certain discount on eyesight. If you go shopping and don't take medicine, you can't say it. The so-called taking medicine, that is to say, drilling, can also be said to be on the eye drops.
Wenyuting eyes with misty said: "it's OK, brother Chu, you can rest assured, when we go there, I will wake up."
Voice just fell, the other two people also repeatedly nodded, see this, chuchen they can only shake their heads.
When they came to baxian'an Antique City, the scene immediately made Chu Yulan a little silly. Baxian nunnery is still the Baxian nunnery, but there are many small stalls on both sides of the street. Generally, there is a dim light hanging on the stalls.
At this time, there are many players in front of the stall. They are using flashlights to observe, ask prices and trade in front of the stall of their favorite items. It's a busy scene. The whole scene, just like the usual market, is very lively.
Wenyuting Lengleng said: "this is the ghost city? Why don't you feel a little furtive? "
Chuchen said with a smile: "this is the ghost market. Do you think it's really like the ghost Street described in the movie? After all, it's the new century. Everything needs to be regulated. But remember, don't make a lot of noise here, so as not to cause other people's displeasure. "
However, Li Guodong was excited to see this scene. In the past two days, he had no harvest at all. Taking this opportunity, he very much hoped to get a good baby, so he rubbed his hands and said, "let's go in and have a look. The way is fast and slow."
Chu Chen quickly stopped him: "brother Li, calm down. You can see how many people around you are as anxious as you are. If you don't get good things, even if you get good things, who will you kill? Let's go. Let's not separate. It's the place where people are most likely to encounter porcelain bumps. "
The first place they visited was a stall selling ancient jade. At a glance, it looked pretty good, but Chu Chen took a glance and pulled everyone up. Then he whispered to them as he walked:
"did you just smell something?"
