Almighty Appraiser

Chapter 492 Visiting the Ghost City

"Young Master Shen, Young Master Yuan, you two might as well go to the ghost market," Song Yijiang pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "With Young Master Shen's ability to appraise antiques, maybe you can come across one or two rare treasures."

"Ghost city?"

"Ghost City!"

Hearing what Song Yijiang said, Yuan Dongliang and Shen Yunfeng had completely different reactions.

Yuan Dongliang glanced outside the store, the red sun was shining brightly in the sky, but he felt a sudden chill on his body.

Squeezing out a smile, he said to Song Yijiang: "Master Song, don't be joking, we brothers are in a hurry."

Shen Yunfeng came over and said with doubts on his face: "Master Song, it is true that I entered this industry a little late, but at least I have come into contact with some old people in the antique industry, but I have never heard them mention the ghost market."

Liu Jiacheng also came over curiously.

Song Yijiang smiled and said: "Ten years ago, the operation of the ghost market in this place was quite normal. The market opened in the early morning and closed when the sky was dark."

"It's just that later, because more and more fake things, things of unknown origin, and even illegal things were sold, the higher-ups were rectified, and gradually it became a thing of the past."

"It even went out of business for a long time, and it slowly started again after this year."

Shen Yunfeng groaned, nodded and said, "I'm telling you, why have I never heard of it?"

Yuan Dongliang asked Song Yijiang with a confused face: "Master Song, I hear what you mean, isn't the ghost market the kind I thought, just a street stall market for selling goods?"

"Almost, it's just that the business hours are late at night." Song Yijiang said with a smile.

Yuan Dongliang stroked his chest and let out a long breath.

"Fatty, let's go to the ghost market tonight, maybe we can find some good things." Shen Yunfeng looked at Yuan Dongliang with a smile.

Yuan Dongliang wiped his forehead and said with a little embarrassment: "I just heard Master Song talking about the ghost market. I thought that if I wanted to visit that place, I would have to wipe my neck first. It really shocked me. hey-hey."

Liu Jiacheng hesitated to speak.

In fact, he really wanted to follow Shen Yunfeng and Yuan Dongliang to see the ghost market, but he didn't say anything because he thought of other arrangements for the night.

Song Yijiang glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "Today is exactly the [-]th day, and the ghost market is open normally at night. It's just in time for you and Yuan Shao to go there, Young Master Shen."

Shen Yunfeng snorted, and asked Song Yijiang: "Is the upper management setting the operating hours for the ghost market?"

Song Yijiang explained: "No, after the previous lesson, some old people who often set up stalls in the ghost market have spontaneously stipulated that the ghost market will open to welcome customers on the first and fifteenth day of every month. There are also other times. But the scale is not as big as these two days.”

Shen Yunfeng smiled and nodded.

Yuan Dongliang shook his head and said, "The first day and the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, these days are chosen so that people who don't know don't think in that direction, it's strange."

After inquiring about the location of the ghost market with Song Yijiang, Shen Yunfeng and Yuan Dongliang went out of Zhenyuxuan, found a tea house, chatted about the pawn shop and the future rough stone trading market, and waited for dark.

At this time, Shen Yunfeng was thinking about going to the ghost market to try his luck at night, but also because Uncle Yuan mentioned that the day after tomorrow was the birthday of that big man, which reminded him of Jiang Qinan's birthday.

I clicked on my phone and took a look. What a coincidence, Jiang Qinan's birthday is also the day after tomorrow.

In the evening, the two ate something casually, drove the Q8 there early, first found a place to park the car, and then sat in the car, waiting for the ghost market to open.

The weather is fine tonight, with a little wind blowing occasionally, a full moon hangs in the sky, and countless stars blink and blink.

Yuan Dongliang lowered the car window and looked out, then retracted his neck and said: "I think, since it is a ghost market, the big moon is shining brightly, which is not suitable for the scene. It is best when the moon is dark and the wind is high. It's just right."

Shen Yunfeng smiled and patted Yuan Dongliang on the shoulder: "I think your proposal is very good. You can talk to someone later."

Yuan Dongliang shook his head and said: "Let's forget it. You can just communicate with them when the time comes. I won't participate in the opinions."

"I always feel that I am panicking in my heart."

Shen Yunfeng said with a smile: "Why don't I tell you a story about the ghost market. After you listen to it, you will understand the so-called ghost market. To put it bluntly, that's all there is to it."

Yuan Dongliang sniffled, and said helplessly, "All right, idle is idle anyway."

Shen Yunfeng put the seat back, half lying down and said: "It is said that more than a hundred years ago, the most famous ghost market was actually the one at the root of the imperial city. When it was most prosperous, it was laid out along the city wall. , from north to south, it can travel two or three miles."

"In the beginning, most of the things used by the dead were sold. Maybe this is the origin of the name ghost market. Then slowly, some people sold other things. Just like what Master Song said, the goods are fake, what is the way?" There are all here, and of course there are rare treasures, but most of them are fake."

"As for those who are particular about going to the ghost market, they don't talk about going or visiting, let alone shopping. After all, the market is indeed a market, but with the word 'ghost' attached to it, use these three words, Not suitable."

Yuan Dongliang turned his head to look at Shen Yunfeng and said, "It's just a change of market, and there's a lot to pay attention to."

"Who says it's not," Shen Yunfeng said with a smile, "People call going to the ghost market 'going to the ghost market'."

"Fatty, if you think about it, the word 'trip' is put together with the word ghost market, does it have a deep meaning?"

Yuan Dongliang hummed, but said nothing.

Shen Yunfeng smiled and continued: "Anyway, that's what I'm thinking about. If I put the word "trip" here, it means whether the water in the ghost market is deep or shallow, whether it is urgent or slow, you have to go and try it yourself. This is just like a pony crossing a river, there is no reference, you have to feel the stones to cross the river."

Yuan Dongliang nodded and said, "If you want to explain it this way, I think it makes sense."

Shen Yunfeng nodded and said: "The most mysterious statement I've heard about the ghost market is that there are fake products in the ghost market, and even in the early years, there were people who bought and sold children."

"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the biggest thing is to have no offspring. Even selling children in the ghost market is fake."

When Yuan Dongliang heard what Shen Yunfeng said, he immediately became interested. He lay sideways on the passenger seat and looked at Shen Yunfeng excitedly.

Shen Yunfeng said with a smile: "Because the ghost market chooses to open in the early morning, so at that time, those who do business will put a lantern in front of their feet, but the lights are adjusted very small, so ah, through the glass cover The light coming out is very weak.”

"Especially in those stalls selling hai'zi, many of them don't carry lanterns, and even if they do, they don't light them, they just rub against the stalls next to them. In this way, it's easy for people who come to buy male ying Be deceived."
