Master Hao chose a remote place, slowly drove the Volvo S80 onto the sidewalk and parked it on the side of the road. (Dingdian Novel Handwritten Novel)

He was a lazy person, so after the car was parked, he flattened the leather seat on the driver's seat and turned the volume of the car's stereo to very low, presumably to take a nap and squint for a short while.

Zhou Wenbo and others ignored him. After getting off the bus with Ye Huan, they saw that there were obviously many more pedestrians here than in other places. They must have had the same purpose of their trip.

The two of them smiled at each other and ran straight towards Xiaojiaping Square, which was in the back. The bodyguard surnamed Han kept an appropriate distance from them and followed closely behind them.

After bypassing the obstruction of two high-rise buildings, we arrived at the Xiaojiaping Ghost Market. Standing on dozens of stone steps and looking down, it was really starry, and it felt like we were in a fairyland.

The ghost market is located in a relatively remote place and has been said to have been a dark place since ancient times. The ghost market that formed spontaneously after the liberation of our country has basically maintained this original and old tradition.

The reason for being in a remote location is firstly that these vendors and stalls are operating at night markets, thus evading industry, commerce, and taxation. Secondly, cities now have a large population. If a ghost market trades in a densely populated area, it will definitely make the residents uneasy late at night. Report it.

Its phone number is probably going to overwhelm the 110 hotline.

Think about it, you haven't paid the industrial and commercial tax money in the first place. If you are a little more uneasy and find a remote place, you are asking for trouble.

Most of the places in remote places have no street lights. At most, a few vendors secretly pull a cord from a distance to get an incandescent lamp. The tradition of the ghost market is that the buyers and sellers who come in to hunt for goods each hold a flashlight, and in addition, they use the help of a flashlight.

Under the bright moonlight, we went on a treasure hunting trip all night long.

The trading form and shape of the ghost market are almost the same as those of the jade and antique quarry.

Sellers often spread a newspaper or a piece of plastic sheet on the ground, place a few pieces of antique jade, real or fake old handicrafts, old books and newspapers, and then squat aside, never shouting loudly, and only use their eyes to sell.

The light scanned the pedestrians.

These street stalls are a "feng shui treasure" for collectors, and buyers quietly walk among the street stalls, especially the more experienced buyers. Even if they see something they like, they rarely ask the price directly, but

"Look around" and pretend to be a layman.

The characteristic of the rise of the ghost market is that it is all-inclusive, which is obviously more flexible and changeable than the professional antique and jade market. Calligraphy and painting, ceramics, furniture, four treasures of the study, copperware, jade, bamboo carvings, strange stones, rare ancient books, old books and newspapers, coins

, snuff bottles, incense burners, purple clay pots, ivory carvings, comic books, cigarette labels, gold stones, household items, sparklers, etc., it can be said to be all kinds of things. Many things are hard to find in antique shops outside, but you can see them in person in the ghost market

witness.

Generally speaking, you can find all kinds of knick-knacks with a bit of cultural flavour, as well as ancient and old books of a certain age. The used books sold here date from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Cultural Revolution period. They are all weird and strange.

The most conspicuous feature of a bag is that it is inseparable from the words "old" and "odd".

Whenever the market opens, the place will be crowded with people. As a cultural scene, the attraction of the ghost market to collectors is self-evident. Now even many tourists come here to see the scenery here.

After descending the stone steps, Ye Huan and the two took the two bright flashlights that the bodyguards had prepared, and Shi Shiran blended into the dense crowd, walking leisurely and watching.

From time to time, the two of them stopped in front of each stall to look at each stall for a short while, occasionally asking the stall owner for the price. Then they shook their heads and smiled, then started up again, walking towards the next stall while shopping.

The stall owners are not surprised. Now more and more people like to visit the ghost market. Of course, many of them are collectors. But now some non-collectors like the environment and atmosphere of the ghost market, and they often come in groups of two or three.

Come together.

In addition, there are some people with elegant taste in the collecting world. They are not like those who just buy antiques for the purpose of making money. They come here solely to make money from Taobao.

These people have a sense of self-cultivation, and they like genuine products when they see them. Of course, they can sell them, but they also appreciate the artistic value of those beautifully made fakes, and sometimes point out directly to the seller that what they are buying is a fake. Of course,

The purpose of making it clear is to ask the seller to be honest with the price, and don't think that you are catching a fat sheep and asking for a high price.

Ye Huan and Zhou Wenbo have plenty of time. The purpose of coming here tonight is that collectors like this atmosphere and want to enjoy the fun. They did not choose any target, and seemed to be leisurely wandering around with the crowd.

Flower-watchers stop wherever they go to take a look.

However, the two of them seemed to have consciously avoided some large antiques and jade stalls, and only glanced past the calligraphy and painting scrolls in excellent condition.

Along the way, the two of them looked at many seemingly exquisite miscellaneous gadgets such as snuff bottles, incense burners, and purple clay pots. Even sparklers and comic strips, both of them stopped to admire them with interest.

Every industry has its own method, and the secret of the ghost market is that although it contains all kinds of goods, counterfeit goods are also everywhere. Although the level of counterfeiting cannot be said to be the highest, the advantage is that the number is astonishing, to the point of being shocking.

Ye Huan didn't know Zhou Wenbo's knowledge of the ghost market, but Cao Yong spent most of the past two years here. According to what he and those in the circle said, the genuine products in the ghost market are only one percent at most.

Ninety-nine percent of the objects are fakes to fool those novices.

Cao Yong told him: Some knick-knacks and miscellaneous items are better. You'd better not touch those rare antiques, rare books, jades and the like that the sellers boast about. It's a waste of time.

As the saying goes: You can only buy by mistake and sell by mistake. Although this is not absolute in the antique world, it reflects one of the phenomena. There are not many real mistakes.

With the advent of the collection craze in the heyday, if those sellers really want to have old objects with big doors in their hands, most people will cautiously go to experts for appraisal. After that, even if they really want to make a sale, they will find a big door to sell them, hoping that they will sell them.

Can get a good price.

Those newbies who are just getting involved in collecting are confused and thinking about getting rich overnight, and want to make a fortune by picking up things in ghost markets.

Most of the time, the seller was confused and dizzy, spent a lot of money, smiled stupidly, hugged a fake, and rushed home happily. Without exception, these people, the next day

After holding the object and looking for someone to identify it, he would definitely cry and cry, as if he was looking for death and survival.

“Boss, what’s the price of this pot?”.

Ye Huan squatted down and asked, pointing to a rather unique purple clay pot on the plastic sheet. He really liked the unique style of the purple clay pot, and subconsciously felt that it was too ethnic and Chinese.

When I was in college, while chatting in the dormitory, several close classmates talked about the dandyism of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They once joked with envy: If you have money in the future, you must follow the rules.

With that kind of look, he put on a complete outfit.
