Chapter 209 "Ghost Market" Part [-]

Do you believe in the biological clock?I believe it very much.

Because I always wake up very early every Thursday.

I don't like to set the alarm clock. Any other time I will sleep until the sun rises at twelve o'clock and then wake up.

Only every Thursday, I lie down at [-]pm and wake up at [-]am.

The backpack that holds the villain is what I use to eat. I usually hang it by the bedside.

The most abundant materials in my house are not the materials for making scarecrows, but tea leaves.

Before I became a villain, my parents were in the tea business.

I also accidentally discovered that straw and paper soaked in tea will become very worn.

Put 25 little people and a piece of cloth in the bag, and then eat something you made.If you set the time to go out at 03:30, you can reach the ghost market under the Imperial City in 10 minutes.

Business was not very good today, and of course I was used to it.

It's 04:30 and I just sold one.

An old woman was looking at me next to me for a long time.

Since the ghost market at four o'clock, the old lady seems to have been staring at me not far away.

Not many people around me looked over at this time, and the old lady seemed to be interested and moved towards me.

Most of the people who come to the ghost market are young people, and there are also many middle-aged people in their 40s and [-]s.

But you really can’t see it when you’re over fifty, close to sixty or seventy years old.

The old lady squatted in front of my stall, pointed at the red cloth and said, "Dolls for sale?"

"Little man, 31 pieces." I said, only one had been sold at this moment.Sell ​​the rest if you can, and I have no plans to raise the price.

Looking at the old man now, he really doesn't look like a rich man.There were a bunch of patches on the canvas shoes, which looked like marks from repeated repairs.

"Can I change it?" the old lady looked at me and said.

Bartering for goods is indeed the rule of the black market.But there are many young people, and they rarely exchange things.

"Sorry, I can only sell it but not exchange it." I said.

The old lady put the bag in front of me and said, "Aren't you going to change it for this one?"

The bag was dark, and the contents flashed under the light.

Something dark yellow dangled from my eyes, and my first reaction was gold.But the old lady in front of me seemed to be unable to bring out anything valuable. 31 things in exchange for gold?

"Do you know what I do with this?" I said.

"You know?" The old lady raised her head.

The old woman's face looked a little scary, and there was a deep scar on her face.

"Are you seeking revenge?" I said again.

"Don't ask too much, don't tell too much. Just buy and sell, follow the rules of the ghost market." said the old lady.

"Ahem...and what's in your hand?" I said.

"You touch it, you are an old thing. I want the remaining two on your stall." said the old lady.

I reached out and grabbed the cloth bag in the old woman's hand. It was so heavy that it was hard as hell.

In terms of weight, you won’t suffer any loss if you change it.Maybe it's something gold-plated or gilded. A fake one might be worth more than my straw one.

I frowned slightly and said, "Grandma, this is a one-time deal. After the exchange, you can't go back on your word."

The old lady nodded and said, "Are you smart? I don't want to kill anyone."

"Ling, the villain is in your hands. You can do whatever you want, everything is up to you." I said.

The old lady handed me the bag, then grabbed my dolls one by one with both hands and stuffed them into her pocket.

I took the bag and stuffed it under my body and said with a smile, "I'm done with it."

The old lady stood up and said: "What you have in your hands now is more evil than what you sell. This is what you do, I think you can suppress it."

After the old lady finished speaking, she stood up and left slowly.

Next to me, Dahai checked his head and said, "Did you change something? Did you make an exception?" "Well, it feels like a good thing." I said and slowly brought the cloth bag, which contained a golden pocket watch.

"Gold?" Dahai said.

"It seems to be a gold watch. Let's take a look at it tomorrow." I said.

"Biao, listen to my brother's advice. Things in the ghost market, and those with time are unlucky. Get rid of them as soon as possible, there are ghosts." Dahai patted me on the shoulder.

"Follow Jiyan, brother." After saying that, I opened my backpack and took out the three villains.At the same time, he stuffed the cloth bag into the bag and zipped the bag shut.

Bustling crowds, there are not many people in the ghost market today.

It seems that the weather is too cold. Of course, ghost markets also have so-called off-peak and peak seasons.

People dispersed, and Dahai beside him sighed and stood up.

"What's wrong?" I said confused.

"It's too cold and there's not a lot of people here. I went back early. Are you here to treat me to fried noodles?" Dahai said with a smile.

"Forget it, I'm waiting. There are still people leaving. My business is not good today." I said.

"How can the business be so good without even a single young person?" Dahai said.

"You go first." I waved my hand helplessly.

"Go on, how about we talk to you about big business tomorrow?" Dahai said.

"Three years ago, you talked about setting up a small factory? Have you figured it out?" I said, but Dahai had already stood up and walked away slowly with his bag.

In the big bag, there are a lot of ancient coins.Dahai is a relative of Nanqian's family, but he can't be beaten with eight poles.

However, there are certain benefits to not being able to hit it. For example, the position I am currently in is due to my relationship with Pang Panghai.

Pang Hai and I were best friends from elementary school to middle school to high school.

Of course, neither of us went to college, so we came to the ghost market.

As mentioned before, Nan Qian’s family name is not Qian, but Nan Qian’s surname is Pang.According to legend, he is a descendant of Pang Tong and one of the founders of this ghost market.

The founder of the ghost market is Nanqian Panglong.

As the founder, he made a lot of money. It was still the Ming and Qing Dynasties.There were countless wives and concubines in groups, including five boys, commonly known as the Five Tigers of the Pang family.

In ancient times, the emperor was called a dragon, while local bullies could only be called a tiger.

Pang Panghai is the great-great-grandson of Lao Wu, one of the five tigers of the Pang family.

These are all things Dahai would chat with me about when things are fine.

The five tigers of the Pang family inherited all of Pang Long's business.

The boss inherited the ghost market and made the most money at the time.

The second child inherited the pawnshop appraisal business and was responsible for raising prices for his business in the ghost market.

Lao San is the largest bank keeper in Beijing City, and is also regarded as the most educated.

The fourth child accepted the land owned by his father, which was not valuable at the time.But no one could have imagined that it would rise so exaggeratedly later and become the mainstay of other companies today.

As for Lao Wu, Dahai scolds his ancestors every day.In the early years, Lao Wu was unruly and unruly. When Lao Wu was born, it was the time when Ponzi was at its peak.The good-for-nothing Lao Wu was disowned by his father Pang Long when he was 17 because he spent too much money.He was confused until death, and Dahai was the great-great-grandson of the Fifth Master.Although they say they are severing ties, the Pang family will secretly support him when he is really about to starve to death.

Of course, all this history happened in the Ming and Qing Dynasties before the reform and opening up.

If Dahai's ancestors had been a little better, maybe they would look different now.

But it is also because of this kind of survival that Dahai can have his own stall in the ghost market.

This is why I was able to follow Dahai and get this three-acre piece of land in the ghost market.

Of course, the ghost market is not the only one. After a hundred years of development, Nanqian has only occupied the territory in the north.

Dahai said that the current person in charge of the ghost market, and the person in the north who was still in charge of the ghost market was his cousin Pang Guang.

Pang Guang is easy to recognize, with his fat head, big ears and bald head.Occasionally I can see him in the ghost market, of course Dahai points it out.

Dahai sells copper coins in the ghost market, and the source is given by Pang Guang.

I made a lot of money, because the money was real old money.The price profit is astonishing, but Dahai only gets a commission on whatever he sells.
