The ghost market on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is different from every previous ghost market.

First of all, the market will charge the stall owner a stall fee of 5000 yuan, which is almost [-] times the usual fee, which indirectly shuts out those small-scale merchants.

In addition, the host market has also set a special threshold. Anyone who enters the Laba Ghost Market must pay an entrance fee of 500 yuan, which also keeps those spectators out.

In this way, there are only merchants with certain strengths left in the ghost market, as well as buyers who really want to find good goods. However, the level of merchants does not mean that all the ghost markets are full of leaks.

In any antique market in Yanjing, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are leaks and suffocations. There will never be absolute leaks in the market, and there will be no perfect treasures.

Being in it is like a starry sky, with countless flashlights shining in it, and nearly 100 booths lined up in it. Although the flow of people has been restricted in advance, thousands of people flock to it, and almost every booth has people stop to watch.

Shen Qiu and Xiao Qing are in a group, Pao Ye and San Ye are in a group, and Qin Hu and his son are in a group. They have agreed that no matter who encounters something good, they will call Shen Qiu immediately, improve efficiency as much as possible, Help the Bai family find a competitive baby that can be sold.

Shen Qiu looked at several stalls in a row with a flashlight. Generally speaking, the quality of the treasures was much higher than that of the usual stalls. There were fewer rags that couldn't be put on the table, and more old goods that were in place for many years.

"Brother Shen..." Zuo Xiaoqing followed Shen Qiu and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever thought about it? How will the Bai family and Liu Rong'er get back that golden clock? Anyway, I couldn't even think of it." , This is almost an unsolvable problem, unless Canghai Koji is willing, no one can get the golden clock back from their hands."

"I'm also curious about Bai's method...but I have a hunch that Liu Rong'er will definitely succeed this time!"

Taking advantage of the trend, I went to a few stalls. There were quite a lot of old things and antiques, but the prices were not cheap. Basically, it was equivalent to upgrading from a small stall to a boutique shopping mall. Shen Qiu actually took a fancy to a few ornaments. It started at 10 yuan, which basically has nothing to do with picking up leaks, and basically belongs to the category of premium.

Jingle bell... jingle bell..."

Before entering the venue for 10 minutes, Shen Qiu received a call from Lord Pao: "Brother, we found it! We found it! The third master and I found something good! Brother, come quickly! It's in the southeast corner On the second booth!"

Shen Qiu and Zuo Xiaoqing looked at each other, and hurried to the southeast direction. Shen Qiu didn't have much hope for the one picked up by the cannon master, but the thing that the third master took a fancy to must have its uniqueness!

This is a stall selling miscellaneous items. Various miscellaneous items of different sizes are piled up on the booth. There are huge emperor chairs and little red shoes worn by children on the full moon. Dirty and messy, giving people a feeling of not being upscale.

"Come here! Brother! Come and see! This is the treasure I picked!" Master Pao first dragged Shen Qiu to the booth, and showed a treasure he had carefully selected, a lantern!A hexagonal lantern!

The outer layer of kraft paper is matched with a hexagonal festive lantern made of sterling silver skeleton. The six corners of the lantern are respectively pasted with conspicuous words: Gengzi Family Reunion!The strokes of the six characters are light and heavy, there are wild cursive characters, regular script characters, thin gold characters, seal characters, and six fonts written on six sides.

"How is it! Brother! Is my vision not bad?" Pao Ye asked joyfully, pointing at the hexagonal lantern.

"It's not that bad!" Shen Qiu glanced at it, then turned to look at the thing in the third master's hand, and immediately took a deep breath, what a fellow!A gold chain more than two meters long and shining with gold!

The third master held the golden chain tightly and said with a smile: "Our rhubarb just lacks a chain, I think this one is very good! Hahaha!"

Zuo Xiaoqing complained, "Master Pao, Mr. San, are you two just kidding around? One picked up a dilapidated lantern, and the other picked up a dog chain!"

"Little girl! Look at you, you are pretty, why are you talking like that!"

The stall owner is an elderly lady, wrapped in a military coat, and carrying a snakeskin bag containing money: "My treasures are all bought here, don't underestimate this lantern! This lantern is an old thing from the Guangxu period! This gold chain is not simple! The gold chain used to tie dogs in the Yongzheng period! This is made of pure gold!"

"Got it, ma'am!" Shen Qiu waved his hand resolutely and said, "Forget these two things, I'm more interested in the helmet you have in hand!"

Shen Qiu's flashlight hit the helmet at the aunt's hand.

This is a silver and gray armor. The shape of the helmet is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and there are obvious decorative rivets on the forehead and both sides. From this detail alone, it can be seen that it is an early Qing Dynasty. This armor is limited to one era, that is, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjueluo Huang Taiji at that time.

Later, Emperor Shunzhi re-used another style of helmet and armor.

"Hey! This little brother really knows the goods!" The aunt's tense cheeks immediately stretched out: "This is the founding armor of Dorgon in the early Qing Dynasty. Although there is only one helmet, the overall appearance is still complete. There is no trace of rust on the inside of the iron armor, especially the 99 copper rivets on it, each of which is inlaid into the inside of the iron plate! How about it! You missed it!"

Shen Qiu laughed and asked in a deep voice: "Okay, ma'am, don't make up stories. The style of your helmet is indeed from the reign of Huang Taiji. It would be too much if you insisted on calling it the founding helmet! You are just A high-quality imitation is far from the Jianguo helmet!"

"Hey! You young man! Is there a fake somewhere?"

Zuo Xiaoqing explained for Shen Qiu, she pointed to the inside of the helmet and said: "Auntie, let's talk about the inside of this helmet first, if there is no rust, that is the biggest flaw, counting from the Republic of China upwards, one counts as one, but All iron armor, helmets, weapons, etc., none of them can escape the baptism of time without being oxidized. You can see that this piece of material has undergone a heat treatment process. The heat treatment process was born in my country in the fourth century of last century. In the 50s, Huang Taiji did not have this craft!"

"Another one is the rivet inlay on your helmet!"

Zuo Xiaoqing took out a magnifying glass and looked at the surface of one of the rivets and said, "You can tell at a glance that it was punched down by a punching machine. The size and force are uniform, and they are all punched out of the same mold! The so-called founding armor of Huang Taiji was added by yourself. What's the story that came out!"

"You little girl! Buy it if you want to! Why are you tearing down other people's platforms!" The aunt was not happy when she heard this, and pushed Zuo Xiaoqing to leave.

Shen Qiu waved his hand to persuade him and said: "Mother, don't get excited, my sister only said that your armor is a fake, but from its craftsmanship, its workmanship is second to none! The overall shape is also It is very similar to the helmet of Huang Taiji period, what I like is his craftsmanship! Then you can set a price!"

"It's still you who can talk! In this way, I got back this helmet for 5 yuan! I don't make money from you! It's purely a personal show! [-] yuan is for you!"

"Fifty thousand? Auntie? You're being too unkind!" Zuo Xiaoqing protested with her lips pouted, "If it's the real thing, the estimated price is around 5 to [-]. You dare to call out [-] even if it's a fake. The price in Yuan? Our side will give you a price of [-] at most! No matter how high it is, there will be nothing!"

"Little girl! Are you the one who bargains so much? You cut so much at once?" The aunt jumped up from her seat, guessing that Xiaoqing's price was lower than her receiving price.

Shen Qiu quickly persuaded the aunt: "Don't worry, aunt! Don't worry! You can see if this works! I want 5 yuan, and by the way, give us the hexagonal lantern and the dog chain just now! Look at this Ok?"
