Happy Tycoon

It was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of Professor Tang's house.

After drinking a little wine with Aunt Gao at noon, Grid's small face looked extraordinarily delicate.

Originally, Yang Jing wanted to send Grid back to let her rest, but the girl said nothing, and insisted that Yang Jing accompany her to visit the other half of the campus that hadn't been visited yet. As a result, the two people strolled around, and it was getting darker.

Grid's grandmother called and asked her to take Yang Jing home for dinner at night. When Yang Jing came to pick up Grid in the morning, the girl told her grandmother.

So, in the evening, Yang Jing accompanied Gege's grandmother to dinner. But at dinner, there were only three of them. Grid's mother and aunt didn't come back. Grid's uncle's family of three was out of town, so this meal was only for the three of them.

Grid's grandmother obviously liked Yang Jing very much, and Yang Jing also liked this cheerful old lady. One old and one young said a lot, and Yang Jing left until after nine o'clock in the evening.

Of course Yang Jing wanted to bring Grid out, but the girl had a tender face and said nothing to follow Yang Jing. In desperation, Yang Jing had to stand alone in the vacant room...

Feeling lonely and unbearable, Yang Jing simply launched the "Restricted Space-Time Shuttle" skill and ran to the Chaotian Palace at 3 o'clock in the morning on July 10, 1982.

Chaotian Palace is a famous tourist attraction in Jinling, and it is also the largest antique market in Jinling. The so-called "Panjiayuan in the north and Chaotian Palace in the south" is enough to prove that the Chaotian Palace antique market is famous.

However, in 1982, the Chaotian Palace antique market had not yet been established.

However, near Chaotian Palace at this time, the ghost market is very famous.

Regarding the time when the ghost market appeared, the ghost market in Yanjing couldn't keep up with the ghost market in Chaotian Palace.

How long has the ghost market of Chaotian Palace appeared? There is no way to study this at all, but there is one thing that proves that the ghost market of Chaotian Palace existed at least during the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty. There is a record of "Heyueguangli in Jinling City" in the notes of Mr. Gu Qiyuan during the Wanli period.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the ghost market in the Chaotian Palace area became more prosperous. In that era, the teahouse on Pingshi Street was the main place for the former Ming widows and children to trade their treasures.

These old widows and children of the previous dynasty had good face and were unwilling to go to the ghost market like those tufuzi, so they negotiated business in this relatively elegant tea house. Gradually, Pingshi Street became the most prosperous antique market in that era. .

However, with the rapid decline of those old and young, the prosperity of Pingshi Street quickly disappeared. More people are still active in the vicinity of Shuiximen, Mochou Road and Tangzi Street, and the trading time has been postponed from the previous dusk to the night before the later dawn.

At that time, the name "ghost market" was seldom called, but it was called "black market." Before dawn, "it's dark, people are dark, goods are dark, prices are dark", thieves, traffickers, widows, old and young... all kinds of people gather here during the darkest time of this period, stolen goods, Fake and shoddy items were used in every way, becoming the most chaotic area in Jinling City at that time.

Later, after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the name of the black market was too ugly, and the name "ghost market" passed from the north was more appropriate, so the black market near Chaotian Palace gradually recovered into the earliest "ghost market."

But if we want to talk about the origin of the name "Ghost City", it is said that it can be traced back to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the local folklore of Jinling, it is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang established the capital of Nanjing, he once passed a temple during his visit. This Taoist temple was later Chaotian Palace. He ate a bowl of plain noodles for pilgrims and praised him greatly. After returning to the palace, he also asked the imperial kitchen to make it. Who knows how the imperial cook can't make it. When Queen Ma sent the little **** to the Taoist temple to check, she discovered that the plain noodles were originally made from R soup. The Taoist priest didn't say anything about killing, but he also made the unsuspecting pilgrims confused. Zhu Yuanzhang became furious when he learned about it, and ordered the killing of a group of Taoist priests in the Taoist temple.

Later, after a night market was formed in the Chaotian Palace area, one day the stall closed at dawn. When many stall owners checked their income, they found that the money in hand turned out to be fake. What's more terrifying is that these fake money turned out to be burnt coins to the dead!

At the beginning, the stall owners cursed unscrupulous Xiaoxiao, and then some people thought that there had been many Taoist priests here. Some people even suspect that this is the intersection of the two realms of Yyang. Tomb-sweeping Festival and Zhongyuan Festival, the descendants paid tribute to some paper money. The Taoist priests who were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang naturally could not spend it during the day. The "money" of these children and grandchildren was spent...

Those stall owners couldn't see it in the evening, but the next morning, when they saw the sunlight, they naturally showed themselves. As a result, the name "Ghost City" spread quickly...

This legend is a bit scary, but it can explain the origin of this "ghost market" well.

Yang Jing went to college in Jinling for four years, and during that time he came to the Chaotian Palace antique market countless times. Naturally, he heard these legends about the Chaotian Palace ghost market more than once.

Although this legend is a bit scary, Yang Jing doesn’t believe in those things at all, especially when Yang Jing was in college, he had heard many people say that there were some good things in the ghost market of Chaotian Palace in the early 1980s. Who bought some old things that opened the door for more than a dozen yuan...

There are fun things in the ghost market. Whether it is in the ghost market in Yanjing, the ghost market in Chaotian Palace, or even the early ghost markets across the country, it is a fact that is close to the truth.

Especially in the 1980s, the ghost market of that era was synonymous with "goodies", "old objects" and even "open doors"!

Yang Jing, the ghost city of Panjiayuan in the 1990s in Yanjing, has personally experienced it. There are so many old objects and fun things that make people jaw-dropping. But Yang Jing has never felt the ghost market of Chaotian Palace, so since tonight is lonely and unbearable, it is better to go back to the past and buy some good things.

The winter in Jinling is very tormenting. Yang Jing doesn’t want to get cold early in the morning, so he simply chooses to go through the hottest season in July. At least in the early morning hours of summer, the weather is still relatively comfortable. Suitable for Taobao or something.

The place where Yang Jing passed through was set outside the south wall of Chaotian Palace. In the 1980s, the Chaotian Palace antique market had not been moved to the area of ​​Cangxiang, Anpin Street, and Nanyi Back Street. The Chaotian Palace West Street located to the west of Chaotian Palace was the most prosperous antique market at that time, and the ghost market was also there. On this street running northwest and southeast.

In 1982, there were no high-rise buildings in the vicinity of Chaotian Palace in 1982. In this era, it was all bungalows. And the very spacious Chaotiangong West Street in later generations is now a small road less than ten meters wide.

Yang Jing adjusted his appearance to the appearance of more than 30 years old, and then walked out of the bushes on the south wall of Chaotian Palace. Even if someone saw it, he thought he had just solved his hands there...

I can't see anything in the dark sky, but after more than an hour, the sky should be bright.

Yang Jing quickly walked to Chaotiangong West Street, but to Yang Jing's slight disappointment, it was far inferior to the Panjiayuan Ghost Market in 1994. At the very least, whether it is for stalls or shopping, they are far inferior to the number in the ghost market of Panjiayuan.

But it's relieved to think about it. It is 1982. In this era, there are not many people who dare to venture out of the ghost market, and even those who come to visit the ghost market are not many.

In fact, since the Republic of China, the area from Hanzhong Road to Chaotian Palace has become the largest collection and distribution center for antiques in Jinling. Later, antiques transactions were still concentrated on Mochou Road, Chaotiangong West Street, and Tangzi Street. It was not until the mid-1950s that the government reformed it, stipulating that it could enter the market at dawn, and took measures to prevent thieves from selling stolen goods. Although people are accustomed to calling it a "black market", in fact, most of the connotation of "black" has been lost, and the black market has gradually changed. It is a second-hand market that collects ordinary waste products.

Later, in the turbulent era, the powerful "broken four olds" appeared. In that era, let alone the antique transaction, even the second-hand goods transaction had no room for survival. It was not until the end of the chaotic era in the late 1970s that the area around Chaotiangong West Street gradually recovered the old antique market. Similarly, a ghost market also appeared.

However, until now in 1982, the scale of the ghost market here is still not very large. Those dealers or antique lovers also sneaked over while it was dark. But at this time, there are still a lot of good things on the ghost market here, unlike a few years later this has become a professional used book market...

Not long after Yang Jing walked in this ghost market, his attention was attracted by a stall.

With the help of the dim battery lights on the stall, Yang Jing could see clearly that all the colorful porcelain on the stall was displayed.

It's just that these porcelains are very different from the porcelains that Yang Jing is familiar with, both in terms of color and type.

This peculiarly shaped and brightly colored porcelain immediately attracted Yang Jing's interest, which made him squat down in front of the booth.

No matter the shape or color of these porcelains, Yang Jing feels a little bit inexplicable. It is really hard for him to remember that the color of porcelain from that period could be compared with the porcelain in front of him.

If you compare the porcelain made by Chinese ancestors to elegant ink and wash landscape paintings, then these porcelains in front of you are like colorful oil paintings...

In addition to the color, the types of these porcelains are also very different from the porcelain types of any dynasty that Yang Jing has ever seen. Although these porcelains look pretty, they seem to lack a sense of atmosphere and stability, as if there is a vague feeling of "painting a tiger is not an anti-dog".

After staring at these porcelains for a long time, Yang Jing had a thought in his mind.

"Could these porcelains be..."
