Chapter 72 Ghost City

Because this market is usually at night or in the morning before dawn, it is a market for goods of unknown origin (or obtained through illegal means) in an open field.

Moreover, such transactions are often carried out in the dark. For a long time, people come and go again and again. People who love nicknames have given this market a vivid name "ghost market".Later, "ghost market" became a proper pronoun for the antique market.

Due to well-known reasons, the "ghost market" disappeared from the 50s to the mid-80s.It was not until the end of the 80s that ghost markets "resurrected" in Shanghai and near Panjiayuan, the capital city. Nowadays, only a few big cities have ghost markets.

However, the difference from the old society is that most of the antique "ghost markets" in the old age sold second-hand goods, while most of the antique counterfeiters in today's antique "ghost markets" sell new goods.

But even so, compared to the usual market, the proportion of real goods in the ghost market is still higher. The key is that the price is cheap. The same thing may be half cheaper than in the store.

In fact, the ghost market is no stranger to Chu Chen. For example, Panjiayuan also has a ghost market every week. He still knows the way.

Like now, although there are real things in the ghost market, he has never seen the heavy equipment a few times, and the price is not cheap, and there are even profiteers selling some shady fakes in the dark. It's easy to hit the eye.

Therefore, it is not advisable to go to the ghost market without a pair of piercing eyes, just relying on the sayings of the old people.Of course, the peddler didn't recognize it, and it's very common to sell treasures as garbage, so some players still enjoy visiting the ghost market.

Hou Yuanming smiled and said: "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 that of Baxian Temple. Tomorrow happens to be Sunday. Do you want to go shopping?"

In terms of the proportion of genuine products, the Baxian'an antique market is indeed higher than that of Panjiayuan. After observing this morning, Chu Chen found that it is indeed the case.However, this is also because Panjiayuan has a large base, and when it is apportioned, the proportion of genuine products is of course smaller.

However, a small base number has the advantage of a small base number. It will undoubtedly take less energy, and this is suitable for the use of abilities. Besides, I finally came to Xijing, and I am in the antique business. Of course, the ghost market cannot be missed.

So Chu Chen readily agreed: "It's rare to come to Xijing once. Of course, you can't miss the ghost market, but I don't know much about the ghost market here. When should we go?"

Hou Yuanming thought for a while and replied, "It's summer now, shall we leave at four o'clock?"

"Well, Xiao Lan, are you going to go tomorrow? If you go, you can't sleep in!" Chu Chen asked other people.

At this time, Chu Yulan and the others had already learned about the ghost market from Zhou Wenping, their curiosity suddenly increased, and they all agreed to go together.

At this moment, Chu Yulan asked, "Brother Chu, who was that Brother Zhao on your phone just now?"

This question made Chu Chen slightly taken aback. It was very strange that she would ask this question. It was somewhat inappropriate, but there was nothing he could not say, so he replied a little strangely: "Oh, that is Mr. Zhao Qirui, Mr. Zhao, The boss of Whit Trading, Xiao Lan, why would you think of asking this?"

"Oh, I said the voice sounds familiar, it's my uncle." Chu Yulan said in a daze.

"What, the boss of Whit Trading is Xiaolan your uncle?" Li Guodong said in surprise. He also knew that Chu Yulan's background should be very good, but he didn't expect it to be so good. He had heard of it by chance before. Zhao Qirui's father was a founding general with an extremely prominent status, but unexpectedly he was Chu Yulan's grandfather.

"Why, is Mr. Zhao very powerful?" Seeing this, Hou Yuanming asked in surprise.

Li Guodong explained: "Mr. Zhao was originally a billionaire, and his family background is extremely prominent."

Li Guodong didn't tell the whole story, but even so, Hou Yuanming almost understood that his mother's natal family had such a family background, so his family must not be too bad, maybe it is also a red family.

Thinking of this, Hou Yuanming looked at Chu Yulan with a hint of awe. He had also worked in the system before, and he knew that as long as this kind of red family had a leader, their energy would not be small, and no matter what , A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Chu Yulan smiled slightly: "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 a little curious, my uncle won't let others call him 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 get to know him one after another. It's not surprising, so he briefly told how he met Zhao Qirui, and finally said with a smile:
"Xiaolan, I didn't expect that we are really destined!"

Chu Yulan nodded with a smile and said yes, she said in her heart, it is indeed destined, and it is too destined, but why does uncle behave like this, could it be that she guessed wrong?This should not be the case!Forget it, it’s useless to think too much, let’s take one step at a time.

"Oh, I thought of a very interesting thing. Brother Chu, you call Xiaolan's uncle Brother Zhao, and Xiaolan calls you Brother Chu. Your relationship is really messed up!" Wen Yuting laughed at the side.

When everyone thought it was true, they all laughed.

Seeing this, Chu Chen scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "We're going our separate ways, okay? Besides, even if I want to call Mr. Zhao Uncle, he won't agree!"

"Brother Chu, the next time you see my uncle, tell him, maybe he will let you call him uncle?" Chu Yulan had a sly gleam in her eyes when she joked.

"Forget it, I don't dare." Chu Chen smiled.

After that, everyone chatted all over the world, and when the time was almost up, Hou Yuanming drove them to the famous restaurant in Xijing for dinner.

Gourd chicken, three-piste silk, steamed hoof soup, steamed meat with lotus leaf powder, etc., each dish is made very carefully and exquisitely.

After drinking and eating, everyone returned to the hotel. In Chu Chen's room, everyone admired the emerald emerald in the glass for a while, and then went back to their respective rooms to rest.When the two girls went back, they both had expressions of reluctance. They didn't know when they would see such emeralds again.

************************************
Just after three o'clock, Chu Chen got up. He had already made an appointment with Hou Yuanming yesterday, and he took the jade to the safe in his shop first.Maybe because he opened this piece of jade, there was no loss at all when the ability was absorbed, and the progress accumulation was normal, which was a little surprise for him.

When they returned to the hotel, Li Guodong and the others also got up one after another, and Zhou Wenping was in good spirits because of years of habit.Li Guodong and the two girls, perhaps because they visited the Antique Street yesterday, and they were more excited in the afternoon, now they all look sleepy.

"I said, can you cheer up and visit the ghost market later, this black light is blind, don't buy things and take medicine."

Seeing this, Chu Chen made a joke.

But the fact is true, the eyesight has been compromised to a certain extent in the dark, and in this state, if you go to dig things, you can't justify it without taking medicine.The so-called taking medicine refers to eye-piercing as mentioned earlier, or it can also be said to be given eye drops.

Wen Yuting said with misty eyes: "It's okay, brother Chu, don't worry, when we get there, I will definitely wake up."

As soon as the words fell, the other two also nodded repeatedly. Seeing this, Chu Chen and the others could only shake their heads.

When they came to Baxian'an Antique City, Chu Yulan and the others were a little dumbfounded by the scene before them.The Eight Immortals Temple is still the same Eight Immortals Temple, but there are quite a few small stalls arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the street, and there is usually a small dark electric light hanging on the stalls.

At this time, there are already many players in front of the stall. They use flashlights to observe, ask prices, and trade in front of the stall of their favorite items. It is a busy scene.The whole scene, like an ordinary market, is very lively.

Wen Yuting said in a daze: "This is a ghost market? Why don't you feel a little sneaky?"

Chu Chen laughed softly: "This is a ghost market. Do you think it really looks like the ghost street described in the movie? After all, it is a new century now, and everything must be regulated. But you have to remember, Don't make too much noise here, so as not to cause other people's displeasure."

However, Li Guodong became excited when he saw this scene. He hadn't gained anything in the past two days. Taking this opportunity, he very much hoped to get a good treasure, so he rubbed his hands and said, "Let's go, let's hurry up!" Go in and have a look, there is a way, there is something fast, but nothing is slow.”

Chu Chen hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Li, calm down, look around and see how many people are as impatient as you, don't say whether you can get good things, even if you get good things, your assistant Look, who will you kill if you don’t kill? Let’s go, let’s stay together, this place is the easiest place to meet people who touch porcelain.”

The first place they visited was a stall selling ancient jade, which looked pretty good at first glance, but Chu Chen took a glance and pulled everyone up, and then asked them in a low voice while walking:

"Did you smell a scent just now?"
