The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 33, Ghost Market Collects Antiques
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Weiguo dragged his exhausted body back from his master Wang Zhenhai.

As soon as he came back, he was entangled by the girl Yushui. He had no choice but to agree to her before, so he took her to learn how to drive for more than an hour.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, after clearing the rain, Li Weiguo stepped into the space as soon as he got home.

First, I boiled water in the space, took a hot bath, and then cooked myself a big meal.

There is a 24-hour time difference, which is very convenient.

After eating, drinking and resting enough, I continued to practice twelve-way legwork. I stayed in the space for 6 days, and I almost went crazy before I came out of the space.

When we came out, it was already past 1 o'clock in the morning.

I can't sleep at this time, but I don't want to go back to the space, and it's boring to stay alone for a long time, so I simply took advantage of the weather to go to the ghost market.

First, there are too many materials in the space, and some of them have to be sold for some money;
Second, let's see if we can find some good things.

Ornaments, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, jade wares, etc. are relatively small, if the price is not expensive, they can be collected.

You can play with it in your spare time, or you can keep it as a reference for future generations.

These days, antiques and cultural relics are not as valuable as in later generations, and naturally there are not as many fakes as in later generations.

Except for very famous treasures, ordinary antiques are rarely faked.

Even if Li Weiguo knows nothing about antiques, he can still buy a few genuine pieces as long as the ones he buys are not particularly expensive.

After waiting for decades, he also made a lot of money.

Just go.

Put on good clothes, shoes, masks and scarves, and wrap yourself tightly.

In the early morning, the courtyard was pitch black, and there was silence everywhere, except for the occasional chirping of a few bugs.

Mimi quietly walked out of the room, glanced at the bicycle under the eaves, and waved it back into the space.

When he reached the base of the courtyard wall, he jumped with a run-up, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands and turned over.

After leaving the courtyard, with a thought, I let the bicycle out, looked at the direction, rode on and set off.

With a bicycle, I can go fast. The last time I came here, I ran hard for more than half an hour. This time I will arrive in about ten minutes.

The car drove a few hundred meters away from the ghost city, took advantage of no one's attention, put the car into the space, tidied up the scarf, then walked slowly over with the flashlight in hand.

As usual, there are already many people under the city wall. There are many people sitting and setting up stalls within a hundred meters. There are also many figures holding lanterns and flashlights wrapped in black cloth moving around. .

I walked over and glanced at the stalls around me. There were at least a hundred stalls all the way under the wall.

I looked around one by one, selling all kinds of old clothes, shoes, old tools, and daily necessities.

Scalping all kinds of tickets.

There are even guns for sale.

There is a toy gun made of wood on the stall. If you want to buy it, the stall owner will let you reach into the bag and touch the real thing.

You can also put your head in to take a look, or you can disassemble and inspect each component.

But just can't take it out.

If you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't want it, forget it.

In these years, the control of firearms and ammunition was not as strict as it was in the future.

Many people have these things hidden in their homes.

Li Weiguo was also interested in these things, so he walked over to strike up a conversation with the stall owner.

Finally, I bought a Big Black Star, which is a Type 54 pistol, the same as the one Li Weiguo usually gets when he defends Corey.

With a box of ammunition, it cost 32 yuan, nearly a month's wages.

Keep it just in case. If he doesn't harm others, he has to prevent others from harming him. After all, he is still in the business of reselling materials.

As for the one used in the security department, it's not a legitimate one and it's hard to use, so it's a good idea to buy a spare one.

Putting the big black star and the bullet in his arms, a thought was sent directly to the space stasis warehouse.

After buying the weapons, Li Weiguo continued to look for stalls selling antiques in the ghost market.

There are many stalls with old objects, all kinds of bottles and cans, and he doesn't know what age they are.

Turning it over and looking at the base model, I couldn’t understand it after looking at it for a long time, but I just thought it looked pretty good overall.

So each stall would accept one or two items. As long as they looked good and had some money at the bottom, they would accept them.

The cheap jars and bowls are only five or six cents, and the expensive ones cost 3 yuan for an underglaze red.

Seeing that the style is from Hongwu, the shape and pattern are extremely beautiful, so I quickly bought it.

Can Hong Wu not know who it is?
Isn't it Zhu Baba?

Buy it and talk about it, if it is true, you will make a lot of money.

Li Weiguo carefully observed each stall with a flashlight, and bought a few pieces when he saw them.He has more than 1 oceans in his hand, which is enough for him to work hard.

After buying more than a dozen pieces, I found a place where there was no one to put them into the space, and then ran out to continue shopping.

I walked back and forth for two hours and collected more than 200 old items, including porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and jade.

After buying a certain amount, Li Weiguo temporarily stopped, and if he bought it again, it would attract attention.

So he no longer visited the stalls, but stood up and looked around, preparing to find someone.

It was the ticket dealer I met when I came to the ghost market for the first time, Old Fu.

Lao Fu has helped him collect tickets several times, and the cooperation has been smooth.

Today it's the agreed delivery time again, and it's time to collect the ticket from him.

While walking, he glanced with his mind, and after a while, he found Lao Fu.

Right now he is squatting in front of a stall, thinking about it with a jar.

After a while, bargain with the seller.

Put your hand into the bag, you sign a three, I sign a one, bargaining, there is back and forth.

Li Weiguo walked over and stood behind him without saying a word.

There is such a rule in the ghost market. When others are buying things, others cannot intervene. They have to wait until the transaction is over.

After standing for a while, I saw the old man buying a three-yuan porcelain bowl with a counter-offer of one yuan and two.

Seeing that the transaction between the two was over, Li Weiguo said, "Master Fu, are you still dumping old things?"

"Hey, Mr. Li, I've been waiting for you." Seeing Li Weiguo, the old man suddenly looked happy.

He specializes in collecting various bills for Li Weiguo, and trades them once a week.The cooperation went relatively smoothly in the previous few times, so we also increased the intensity of collecting tickets. Now we have all the ticket collection receipts. If Li Weiguo doesn't come, he will have no liquidity.

"Well, let's change places." Li Weiguo said after looking around.

"Okay, Master Li, come with me." After saying that, Old Fu led Li Weiguo to an alley.

At the corner of the alley, the old man took out a large stack of tickets from his arms.

While flipping through it, he said, "Master Li, look, this is a recent collection. There are 200 catties of fine food stamps, 300 catties of coarse grain stamps, 45 cigarette tickets, 37 wine tickets, and 6 catties of sugar tickets. A total of 238 yuan."

After receiving a stack of tickets, Li Weiguo nodded, quite satisfied.

They are all in-demand tickets, like food stamps, which are easier to use than money.

If you go out to eat in a restaurant, if you don’t have money, you can get food stamps to pay for it, but if you don’t have a ticket, you can’t, you won’t be allowed to eat.

In the era of quantitative rations, food stamps are more important than money, so Li Weiguo also collects some, whether he uses it for himself or gives it away to others, this thing is easy to use.

"Well, yes, this time we collected a lot more than before, but we still have to work hard. We also go to those government agencies and military compounds. The families there are not short of these bills. With those half-year-old children Receive it, as long as you don’t deceive others, you should be able to receive a lot.”

"Yes, thank you Master Li for your pointers."

After hearing what Li Weiguo said, Lao Fu suddenly realized.

How many good things can ordinary people have in their hands, but don't they have to go to those places to receive them.

Seeing that Lao Fu understood, Li Weiguo said nothing, counted 238 yuan from the space, pretended to take it out of his pocket, and then handed it to Lao Fu.

"Thank you, Master Li, for your care." Old Fu took it with both hands.
