Late at night, Panjiayuan Ghost Market.
The ghost market was a strange kind of market. It opened late at night before dawn. As soon as the sky brightened, the people inside disappeared like the morning wind blowing fog. They came and went without a trace. No one stopped them or managed them.
The things in the ghost market were mixed with fish and dragon pearls. There were rare and precious items that came from improper sources, and there were even fakes to deceive people.
As for Sister Han, who was introduced by Big Golden Tooth, her shop was open when the ghost market opened and closed when the market closed.
The late autumn night breeze carried a hint of coolness.
Big Golden Tooth led Jiang Chen, Old Hu, and Fatty to the head of the ghost market.
Everyone looked up and saw many people squatting in the ghost market.
Some of them had a small lantern placed in front of their feet. The lantern inside was small, and the light was hazy like the ghost fire in the grave.
However, everyone had one characteristic, and that was that they were very quiet. Only the occasional whispers proved that this was indeed a place for trading.
With the help of the dim lights and the moonlight in the sky, Fatty saw a large pile of clothes on both sides of the street. The better clothes were covered with old mats, and the tattered clothes were directly piled on the ground.
Although Fatty had been in Dragon City for several years, this was his first time coming back to the ghost market. He looked at the stall owners on both sides and asked curiously,"Old Jiang, why aren't the people doing business here shouting?”
The stall owners were like old monks in meditation. They sat with their eyes down and their noses down. If it wasn't for the fact that they were looking at the people passing by, Fatty would have thought that they were asleep.
Jiang Chen lit a cigarette and took a puff." This is the special characteristic of the ghost market. The stall owners in the ghost market never make any noise, call for customers, or ask for business. They just let the customers choose what they want.”
Big Golden Tooth, who was beside him, was surprised." Yo, I didn't expect Chief Jiang to know so much about the ghost market and even know about these characteristics.”
Old Hu looked at Big Golden Tooth and asked,""Master Jin, why is there such a thing as being particular in this ghost market?”
Big Golden Tooth chuckled." Master Hu, the rules of the ghost market are very strict.”
" Take Chief Jiang's words for example. When Old Long said that he was going to the 'ghost market,' he couldn't say that he was going, and he couldn't say that he was going, let alone going for a stroll. He had to say that he was going to the 'ghost market' because the word 'trip' was very particular.”
"The water in this ghost market is deep and shallow. The water is fast and slow. You have to taste it yourself and try it yourself.”
Old Hu and Fatty were enlightened after listening to Big Golden Tooth's explanation. They looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, and they praised him in their hearts. As expected of a man who could chase zombies and hack them. He knew a lot.
If Jiang Chen had known what Old Hu and Fatty were thinking, he would have thought to himself," I'm a transmigrator. How can I not know?"
At this moment, the fat man reached out his elbow and touched Jiang Chen. He asked,""Old Jiang, what do you want to say about this ghost market?”
Hearing Big Golden Tooth's interesting words, Fatty's curiosity was immediately aroused. He also wanted to try the feeling of trading in the ghost market.
Jiang Chen blew out a puff of smoke." Fatty, this ghost market is called a ghost market because there are many fake things, things of unknown origin, and illegal things.”
"The people here are a mix of good and bad, and they are all very bold. Even Old Long is so old, and they even dare to sell the flower feathers and yellow mandarin jacket worn on the head of a second-grade official.”
"I advise you not to try it. If you don't have a good idea and meet someone hot, you'll get into trouble.”
Hearing this, Fatty touched his chin and glanced at the stall owners." Old Jiang, I'm just curious about what it feels like to go and try it. Don't worry, I won't buy things blindly.”
Jiang Chen thought for a while. Nothing could go wrong with him here. It was no big deal to try it since he was already here. He agreed with Fatty's idea at once and said,""Just go to a random stall and give the stall owner a look. He will know that you are here for the goods and will show you the goods.”
"Fatty, but remember one thing. The Ghost Market is particular about looking at the goods and not asking where they came from. You can bargain in the future, but you have to pay the money and deliver the goods.”
After hearing that, Fatty nodded to show that he remembered it. Then, he impatiently walked to a stall with antiques. He gave the stall owner a look and picked up a jade bracelet on the ground to look at it.
Although the stall owners in the ghost market wouldn't take the initiative to call for business, as long as you dared to look, they would dare to point at a broken bowl and say that it was used by the emperor back then. With their mouths, they could turn black into white.
Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled when he saw how eager the fatty was. He led Big Golden Tooth and Old Hu behind the fatty and listened to him talk to the stall owner.
The stall owner pointed at the jade bracelet in Fatty's hand and said in a hoarse voice,"Sir, the jade bracelet in your hand was worn by Empress Dowager Cixi back then. It's definitely a good thing.”
Fatty pretended to use the lantern beside the stall to size up the jade bracelet.
Jiang Chen, who was behind him, opened his Golden Eyes and took a look. He immediately knew that the jade bracelet was fake. In his eyes, the jade bracelet was full of locks, and the corrosion on the outside was man-made.
The stall owner looked at the fatty's serious look at the jade bracelet and thought that he could fool a fool today. He immediately said,"Sir, take a good look. This jade bracelet is a top-grade ancient jade.”
"Touch that feeling. Isn't it as warm as water, like touching a woman's small hand?”
"Also, the gold thread embedded on it was hammered in by the craftsmen at that time.”
"That golden thread is pure gold. It's perfectly fused with the jade bracelet. It's simply a perfect antique.”
Fatty, who was squatting on the ground, listened to the stall owner's spittle flying everywhere and his exultation. He asked,"How much is this thing?"
The stall owner glanced at the left and right sides. He approached the fatty and lowered his voice. He extended five fingers." Sir, it wasn't easy for me to get this thing. I won't scam you. It's 5,000 yuan. You can take it."”
Upon hearing this, Fatty looked at the jade bracelet in his hand with some interest. He thought that he had probably picked up something missing this time.
Jiang Chen shook his head when he saw the fatty's eagerness. This guy was really easy to fool.
If Fatty came to this ghost market today, he might be fooled by others.
Jiang Chen kicked Fatty's butt lightly and said,""Put down your things and let's go."
Hearing this, the stall owner was unhappy. The fool in front of him was obviously tempted. He could have bought it with a few more words. Who was this person who suddenly barged in? He immediately said,"Who are you? This master is buying things from me, why are you interfering?”
Jiang Chen looked at the stall owner, who seemed to be unwilling to let him go. He walked to him and lowered his voice." My brother is not a schemer, but you can't fool him with a fake piece of porcelain. Your bracelet is so heavy. Did you make that layer of corrosion on the outside?"”
"I've given you face, but you have to be sensible, right?”
As soon as these two slang words came out, the stall owner knew that he had met an expert. He smiled awkwardly." I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll definitely take care of you. Take care."”
The other party had already made his words so clear and even covered it up with slang. He had already given him enough face.
It wasn't the stall owner's first time in the ghost market. He knew that there were all kinds of people here. He couldn't afford to offend anyone.
Jiang Chen wasn't a pretentious person, and the stall owner didn't make things difficult for him.
The few of them followed Big Golden Tooth into the depths of the ghost market…
