Chapter 57: Vanfer Flea Market

There are dozens of large and small flea markets in the Greater Paris area. The largest flea market is the Saint-Tuan flea market that Yang Jing visited the day before yesterday; the flea market with the cheapest goods must be counted. The Arigues market is located west of the center of Paris; but to say which market is the most exquisite and most popular with tourists, it is undoubtedly the Vanfer flea market that Yang Jing will go to today.

   Vanfer Flea Market is located in the 14th arrondissement in the south of Paris. Geographically speaking, it is just across the center of Paris from the north and south of the Saint-Tuan flea market.

   Yang Jing learned from the proprietress of the restaurant yesterday that this market is very small, only two streets away, and it is only open on Saturday and Sunday. The market mainly deals in antique furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries, daily hardware products from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as jewelry, antique cameras, phonographs, books, old documents, coins, second-hand watches and other things. Of course, there are also many modern second-hands. thing.

   Yang Jing came to the market at 8 o'clock in the morning. It was already bright at 8 o'clock in October in Paris.

   Sure enough, this market is very small. At least compared with the few flea markets Yang Jing has visited, the Wangfu flea market is really small. Two "L"-shaped streets more than 100 meters long have become the mainstay of this market.

   Although the market is not big, there are a lot of people. The most important thing is that this market does not have any shops, it is a completely open-air market. At most, those stall owners only set up a shed, and more stall owners do not even support the shed and just operate in the open air.

   In fact, this model is the real flea market. Like those flea markets Yang Jing had visited before, whether it was the Santouan Market or the Alfie Market, the taste has changed.

   The real flea market is such an open-air market!

   What made Yang Jing most delighted was that he stood outside the market for more than ten minutes, but he didn't even see a sneaky guy. Maybe there are thieves here, but there are definitely not as many St. Touen markets. No wonder the Vanfer flea market is known as the best flea market in the entire Paris region.

   Without those annoying guys, shopping in such a market is fun, and customers dare to pay for things without scruples.

   No one wants to take out his wallet under the watchful eyes of a thief!

   In fact, there is really no room for thieves to survive at the Vanfer Flea Market. It's not that there are so many police here, but that all the people here are police.

   Wangfu Flea Market also has a long history. It appeared at the end of the 19th century and has a history of more than 130 years. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were many thieves here, which seriously affected the tourists here.

Without tourists, those stall owners would naturally have no income. So one day in the 1990s, a local stall owner who had been operating in the market for a long time spontaneously organized more than a dozen stall owners to form an "anti-theft alliance". "The main responsibility is to expel the thieves who disrupt the market order from the market.

   Later, more and more stall owners took the initiative to join this alliance. In the new century, almost all stall owners in the entire market have joined this alliance.

   Once a thief is found in the market, all the stall owners will take the initiative to expel the thief. If the thieves continue to be rampant, then they will soon discover that their disaster has arrived.

   No matter how rampant the thieves are, when facing a crowd of 200 small stall owners, they have to obediently get out. If they dare not get out, then they will immediately understand what is meant by "the vast ocean of people's war"!

   Over time, the thieves in Paris know that Vanfer Flea Market is not easy to mix, at least not where they mix, so Paris thieves will basically not come here to commit crimes.

   Of course, there may be one or two thieves coming from other places occasionally, but that is not the weather after all. These unidentified thieves may be able to make a little money if they are lucky enough. But if they are unlucky, their fate can only be haha...

In contrast, the stall owners in this open-air market have become more united because there is no wall separation. The Santouan flea market may have better conditions, but there is really a lack of such harmony and mutual assistance between neighbors. .

   Yang Jing walked into the market as more and more people flowed, and suddenly, the familiar noise filled her ears.

   Yang Jing can even hear a lot of voices from the motherland. Nothing else, the main source of tourists for the Vanfer Flea Market is East Asia and Southeast Asia. In recent years, with the rapid growth of China's economic strength, tourists from China have become the main source of tourists for European and American countries.

  Wangfu Flea Market has long enjoyed an excellent reputation among Chinese tourists because of its good law and order. Almost 50% of Chinese tourists who come to Paris for tourism will choose to pick a day to visit the Vanfer Flea Market.

  Because of the cognitive relationship, the development of flea markets in China is not very prosperous. Even if there are, most of them are flea markets that are spontaneously formed by adults and children to serve children, plus some college flea markets. UU reading www.uukanshu. The main business method in the com market is also bartering, and most of them are children's toys, books, and second-hand books, computers and other things that cannot be taken with college students after graduation.

   But the flea markets in Europe and the United States are different. The flea markets here are real flea markets. There is almost no such market in China, so this kind of flea market is rare for domestic tourists.

   Don't look down on the Wangfu Flea Market, but there are so many people.

   Yang Jing swayed slowly with the flow of people, and when he saw something good, he stopped to take a look or touch it with his hands.

Along the way, Yang Jing has seen furniture with a history of more than two hundred years. Of course, those furniture are not those from nobles or royal families. Most of these furniture are furniture accumulated by ordinary people themselves, so the price is not counted. Very high and very close to the people.

   Yang Jing also saw phonographs, vinyl records, second-hand books, cameras and other old objects with decades of history. Most of these old things came from ordinary people, and they weren't very high-quality goods, so the price was not expensive.

   Yang Jing saw a young man who seemed to be an international student and bought six second-hand books for only five euros...

Of course, if you want to do this, you must at least practice the "bargaining method" to the point of entering the room. Only if you faint the stall owner, you will have the opportunity to win at a low price. Something you want.

   This kind of market is full of vitality, and this kind of market is what Yang Jing likes.

  Slowly, Yang Jing walked to the middle of the market, where a small stall selling second-hand books caught his attention.
