The prosperous era of courtyard houses

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 I came back, I was obsessed with that girl Yu Yu. I had no choice but to promise her before, so I took her to learn how to drive for more than an hour.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, after getting rid of 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 and drinking enough and having enough rest, I continued to practice the Twelve-Way Kick Technique. I stayed in the space for six full days and almost went crazy from holding myself back before I came out of the space.

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

I couldn't sleep at this time, but I didn't want to go back to space. Being alone for a long time was boring, so I simply took advantage of the weather to go to the ghost market.

First, there are a lot of materials in the space, so some of them have to be sold for some money;

Second, let’s see if we can find some good stuff.

Ornaments, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, jade, etc. are relatively small in size, so if they are not expensive, you can still get them.

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 leave.

Put on your clothes, shoes, mask and scarf, and wrap yourself up tightly.

The courtyard in the early morning was dark and quiet, except for the occasional chirping of a few insects.

He walked out of the room quietly, glanced at the bicycle under the eaves, and put it into the space with a wave of his hand.

When he reached the base of the courtyard wall, he jumped, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and jumped out.

After leaving the courtyard, I thought about it, put the bicycle out, looked at the direction, rode on and set off.

Traveling is very fast when you have a bicycle. The last time I came here, I ran hard for more than half an hour. Now I rode there in about ten minutes.

The car drove a few hundred meters outside the ghost market. When no one was paying attention, he put the car into the space, straightened his scarf, then walked slowly over with a flashlight.

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.

Sell ​​all kinds of tickets.

There are even people selling guns.

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 I just can't take it out.

If you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't want to, 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 and walked over to chat 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.

Together with a box of ammunition, it cost thirty-two yuan, nearly a month's salary.

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 were many stalls with old items, bottles and jars of all kinds, and he didn't know what era they were from.

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 only cost 3 or cents, while the expensive ones cost yuan for an underglaze red one.

I saw that the style was from Hongwu, and the shape and pattern were extremely beautiful, so I quickly bought it.

Does he still not know who Hong Wu is?

Isn't it Zhu Ba Ba?

If you buy it, you will make a lot of money if it is true.

Li Weiguo used a flashlight to observe carefully at various stalls, and bought a few if he liked them. They were not expensive anyway, and it didn't matter if they cost just a few cents. He has more than 10,000 oceans in his hand, which is enough for him to build with all his strength.

I bought a dozen items, found a deserted place to put the things in, and then ran out to continue shopping.

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

After buying a certain amount, Li Weiguo temporarily stopped buying. If he bought more, he would attract attention.

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

It was the ticket seller I met when I first came to the ghost market, Lao Fu.

The old man 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.

As he walked, he scanned with his mind, and after a while, he found Lao Fu.

At this moment, he was squatting in front of a stall, holding a jar and thinking about it.

After a while, I bargained with the seller.

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

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

There are rules in the ghost market: when others are buying things, others cannot interfere until the sale is completed.

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 selling old things?"

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

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

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

"Okay, Mr. Li, come with me." With that said, the old man led Li Weiguo towards 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, you see, this is what I collected recently. The fine grain stamps are 200 kilograms, the coarse grain stamps are 300 kilograms, 45 cigarette stamps, 37 wine stamps, and candy stamps are 6 kilograms. A total of 238 yuan."

After receiving a large 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 a restaurant to eat, you can do it if you don't have money, and you can use food stamps to offset it, but you can't eat if you don't have tickets, and you won't be allowed to eat.

In the era of rationed rations, food stamps were more important than money, so Li Weiguo collected some for his own use or as a gift to others.

"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.”

"Well, thank you Mr. Li for your advice."

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 Mr. Li for taking care of me." Old Fu took it with both hands.
