The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

　　Panjiayuan, formerly known as Panjiayao, was burned here in the early years, but because the soil was too loose, it could not produce good quality, and later changed to burned bricks.

　　 Zhang Nan really got up early today: asked the hotel receptionist on duty to wake himself up at 3 o'clock and go to Panjiayuan early.

　　 It's not too early: Panjiayuan in this society is still a ghost market, which was like this in the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.

　　Ghost market is also called night market and dawn market: this kind of market opens in the middle of the night and closes at dawn. As far as Zhang Nan knows, there were several famous ghost markets in Beijing in the past, such as the "Dongxiao City" outside Chongwenmen, the "Night Market" outside Xuanwumen, and the "Xiao City" outside Deshengmen...

　　 At that time, the lighting conditions were limited, and neither the buyer nor the seller could see who was clearly. In addition, they would not yell, or display their names, and they would disappear at dawn. Their behavior was similar to a ghost, so it was called a ghost market.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the dilapidated big family children sold ancestral calligraphy and painting treasures and the like. They chose the ghost market because they wanted to save face and could not be sold publicly. In the future, thieves often went to the ghost market to sell their stolen goods. On the ghost market.

　　In this way, the ghost market has become a place where people get lucky. Maybe you can buy very expensive things for a small amount of money!

　　Because Panjiayuan was outside the city before liberation, the operation of the ghost market was particularly bold. However, after liberation, the ghost market in the capital was completely banned.

　　 In the early 1980s, the China Youth Art Theatre moved in, and buildings began to be built near Panjiayuan-in 1985, the ghost market here gradually recovered.

　　Many people who first came to Panjiayuan had to find a way out after graduating from high school for a few years without finding a job, becoming "unemployed youth".

　　Why was there a strict crackdown in the 1980s? In the final analysis, there are too many "unemployed young people" who had nothing to do at the beginning!

　　 No income, rush!

　　 The Panjiayuan of this meeting still maintains the ghost market style left over before liberation. The market opens at 4 a.m. every day and ends at 1-2 p.m.

　　 Zhang Nan wanted to see if there were any good things and experience the fun of Taobao, so I had to hurry up.

　　 drove the Mercedes-Benz, stopped a few hundred meters away, turned around, and saw a big hill-like mound in the shadowy lights!

　　 It’s still dark, there are already a lot of people on the mound, and I saw a lot of bicycles parked as soon as I went up.

　　Interestingly, the rear racks of many bicycles are shelves, and the ones that pay attention to it are spreading cloth on the ground to display the things to be sold.

　　 There are already a few people who have come to visit, and I am dressed up in an exquisite suit, which immediately attracted the idea of ​​the nearby stall owners!

　　 The rich are coming!

　　 This is the first time in my life to come to Panjiayuan, and it is not comparable to the five or six hundred stalls in the early 1990s. There are only hundreds of stall owners in the eye.

　　 It really sells everything-not all antiques. Most of the things sold nearby are bicycle seats, bicycle handlebars, bicycle acceleration shafts, sewing machine heads, old furniture... There are also a small amount of ancient books, calligraphy and porcelain...

　　 Looking at the clothes of the nearby stallholders, not only are people from Beijing, but some of them may also be farmer brothers near the capital, who came early.

　　 "This morning market opened too early!"

　　 Zhang Nan complained in his heart-the conditions here are much worse than the "ghost market" in Shanghai. At least there are street lights over there, and here it is basically lit by flashlights.

　　 I also saw a few stingy stall owners lighting up the fire-it was still a bit cold in the early morning, this is the lighting and heating!

　　 Why does Panjiayuan open the market so early?

Because this long-distance bus from TJ and Hebei province to Beijing has a stop at Panjiayuan, about 2 in the morning, those vendors from TJ and Hebei province will go directly to Panjiayuan to sell goods after arriving here, so there is no need for them. Staying in a hotel can save you a day’s money in a hotel room.

　　 Among the Bailai vendors, there are estimated to be at most 20 people in Beijing, and the others came here early.

　　 Zhang Nan knows that there is a saying in the "future" of the antique industry in Beijing: No matter how good the antique city is, it is a business. Only Panjiayuan is a miracle!

Miracle?

Correct! It's a miracle!

　　 Zhang Nan, who just arrived at the place, quickly realized what the miracle of Panjiayuan is!

　　Of course, the owner who wears this kind of clothes will not come to buy bicycle accessories-the vendor who sells the accessories ignores Zhang Nan, but the two stall owners who sell second-hand goods are concerned.

　　 "Sir, the bowls and plates of the Yongzheng and Qianlong official kilns, take a look?!"

　　 The two are equally anxious, eager to sell.

　　 "Hehe, don't worry, take your time, it's still early."

　　 Zhang Nan said with a smile, but still squatted down in front of a booth, but instead of picking up a plate from the other hand, he took out a flashlight and took a bowl on the floor and looked at it.

　　 Zhang Nan was looking down at the goods, and didn't see the expressions of the two stall owners: the two were winking at each other-although this one looked at the money, it was obviously not a "burning bag"!

　　 The so-called "burning bag", as the name suggests, is the master of burning money. It is the "honorable name" of cultural relics dealers for those clumsy-eyed and confident treasure hunters. The locals in Beijing often call this kind of "bangma"!

　　 Of course, Zhang Nan is not a bun, and he doesn’t care about the attitude of the cultural relics dealers: He is dressed as a rich man today, just to show the stallholders here, and take out all the things that he would not take out.

　　 As for the price, then hehe...

　　 "Boss, how do you sell these bowls?"

　　 Qianlong alum red five-bat and five-peach small bowl, with a six-character official kiln type "made in the reign of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty" on the bottom. The traces of use are almost invisible. Zhang Nan looked at 9 of them, and after a while, they were all finished. They should be a set of goods.

　　 "Boss, this is a Qianlong official kiln with a wide open door~www.readwn.com~ Let’s walk 30 together, a total of 270."

　　 The stall owner said something treacherously.

　　Zhang Nan smiled: "Boss, we are not a club, so a single one can cost 10 yuan at most. It is rare that there are 9 and I will pay 100 yuan."

Zhang Nan was also blindfolded: in the mid to late 1990s, he heard that when Panjiayuan Ghost Market was just selling second-hand antiques, a small soup bowl from Qianlong official kiln was only ten yuan, so he closed his eyes and went blind. Bargain.

　　 Upon hearing Zhang Nan's counter-offer, the boss hurriedly said: "That's not good, boss, it's possible that we bought a Qianlong blue and white bowl for 10 yuan two years ago, but it won't be enough!"

　　 10 yuan is really not enough, the two bargained, a total of 140 yuan was sold, only 15 yuan more.

　　 This bowl will look like five or sixty thousand one in twenty years later, nine of them are considered a complete set, which will be higher.

　　 But buying it is not for money, it is the fun of Taobao's leakage: 15 yuan Qianlong official kiln, it is a fool not to buy it!

　　 It’s okay to take it home and be a rice bowl!

　　 In the year of Jiaqing, according to the purpose, the official kiln daily-use porcelain that was backlogged in the court warehouse was sold in several batches, with hundreds of thousands of pieces at a time. It is not surprising that you can hit it casually in the ghost city of the capital.

The 9 bowls were tied with straw ropes and newspapers used to bind ordinary bowls, and a long string was made for easy carrying. Zhang Nan doubted whether the stall owner was a porcelain seller in the supply and marketing agency before. This action is a brisk!

　　 Don’t look at the packaging is extremely rudimentary, but as long as it doesn’t hit it, it’s pretty safe.
