Yue Guanchao and the others walked under the city wall. The entire ghost market was bounded by Changle Gate and spread out towards the north and south city walls, forming a bustling market at the base of the left and right walls. Some stalls could even be squeezed into the back streets and alleys, and makeshift structures could be seen everywhere. The stalls they set up were meticulous about setting up a small cart and shelves, but the informal ones just spread out a piece of oilcloth, piled needles, threads, combs and necklaces on the ground, and yelled at the top of their lungs.
Looking from a distance, dim butter lamps were all lit under the walls and in the alleys, and everyone was tightly packed, leaving only their slippery and shrewd eyes looking at the hurried passers-by.
"We've been shopping for an hour, are those little thieves really going to come here to sell dirt?" Yue Erpao was wrapped in a scarf and sobbed as he walked, carrying a peel cake bought at the ghost market in his hand.
"If I don't go around a few more times, maybe I haven't come out yet. This guy is so smart. He must know the rule of not leaving dirty things overnight."
After all, what the little thief stole was his. Xu Xiake wanted to look in all directions and stare at passers-by. They had to look at everything they passed before they let go. In this way, they were looking for The progress of things has become extremely slow. An hour has passed and not even half of the ghost market has been visited.
"If this continues, even if we find the ghost market and close the stalls, we may not be able to find it all. Anyway, we have no intention of taking these dozens of dollars."
Yue Guanchao grabbed the bag of peel cakes and stuffed a few into his mouth. He didn't even have time to eat dinner in the evening. He had been walking for another hour and was already very hungry. After a few mouthfuls, he could at least make up for it. few times.
"Heaven and earth, is it possible that my year's travels are destined to come back in vain?"
Xu Xiake was dissatisfied, but he had nothing to do. This thing entered the ghost market, just like a mud cow entering the sea, and was destined to be lost.
"Daozhang Xu, it seems that Sanqing also intends to test you. If you are asked to travel again, just accept your fate."
Xu Xiake turned around and said angrily: "What do you mean I have to accept my fate? You two's fifty oceans are also in it. How much is my CD worth?"
"My fifty oceans is nothing, after all, I have a lot of oceans in my pocket."
Yue Guanchao smiled evilly and touched his chest. The cashier's check he sewed into his heart pocket was a treasure. He had to take it with him even when taking a shower. This was how he could avoid trouble. Otherwise, this little thief would really squeeze everything out of him. .
"What about you? You have more than ten yuan in your family's wealth. You don't have that much money in your bank account, do you?"
Xu Xiake said this with a bad heart and wanted to drive a wedge between the two brothers. After Yue Erpao swallowed the pastry in his mouth, he looked at his brother with pride and said, "My brother said that this time it was because of his mistake. The inventory was sold out, and he will be in charge of my food and clothing expenses from now on."
"You two, you can't leave without seeing the coffin without shedding tears. Well, if you can't find the coffin, you won't be able to live peacefully on this journey..."
Just as he was about to threaten the two of them to continue looking for something, the pedestrians around him suddenly started making noises.
"Let's go, let's go. There's a big mallet in front of us. A good silver and bronze mirror only costs three coppers. There's also an iron sword. The craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty was worth hundreds of oceans. If you pick it up, you'll make a profit. Let's go, let's go." , it’s so easy to meet a fool, but I found a treasure.”
Xu Xiake and Song Siyuan heard these words clearly, and her eyes lit up: "Brother Xu, what I told you is similar."
"Song Qianjin, if that's not a statue, then it's my thing. These are all antiques from the Tang Dynasty. If you dare to sell them to me at a low price, uncle, I'll give you as much as you want."
Xu Xiake quickly ran over with the pedestrians, and the three of them followed behind him. They walked all the way to the alley. There was obviously a lot of buyers gathered in front of an oil lamp. The crowd was so crowded that they were all waiting for the sellers to pinch them. code.
Qianmazi is a slang term in the ghost market, which means bargaining.
Sellers and buyers in the ghost market bargain for money. Instead of openly talking about five or six, they put their hands into their sleeves, snap their fingers inside and give the price. After all the onlookers who have found the treasure have finished pinching, the seller will do this. Only then are they willing to tell how much it is.
Although this method of bargaining is to remain mysterious, it is actually also a kind of protection for successful transactions. Once an antique is taken a fancy by many people, there will be those who will not buy it at a high price. No matter how high the price is, it is useless. Talking on the sleeves Most people don’t know what other people are adding to the price. As long as they can give a price, they can afford it. Let the seller choose the one with the highest price and everyone will be happy!
Xu Xiake stood outside the crowd, and he could tell at a glance that he was the biggest kid in the daytime. At this time, his face was smeared with pot ash, and he looked like a black bear spirit. He was wearing a black cotton jacket, a sheepskin hat, and a floral turban. If you look around, no one knows which king he is.
He rolled up his sleeves, pushed aside the onlookers around him, and walked in. These people were all here to buy and exchange treasures, and they all thought they were here to grab treasures. There was nothing to be polite about in his tone. The blind uncle on the couch kept cursing, and when he saw Yue Guanchao, he left with a fierce look. Go in and stop sucking your mouth.
