Luo Hao was a little disappointed when Shang Xin didn't go, but it was okay to have the Shang Xuejun accompany him. There were some things he didn't understand in the ghost market, and at least someone could answer him.

"The current ghost market is different from before. There are many scammers. I will tell you what you need to pay attention to!"

Shang Xin sat opposite Luo Hao and slowly talked about the ghost market.

The Ghost Market originated in the late Qing Dynasty and was opened at night and ended early before dawn. It was both in Beijing and Tianjin, and later developed across the country.

In the beginning, the ghost market was a place where old clothes and goods were traded. Later, some servants from wealthy families stole things from their homes and sold them. They didn't dare to sell them during the day, so they could only go to sell them at night. When they were sold, they blocked their faces, for fear of being recognized.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ghost market has been sank for a while, and since the reform and opening up, the spring breeze has rekindled.

Thirty or forty years ago, some good things were indeed released in the ghost market. Many older generation collectors had found good treasures at that time. As time went by, there were fewer and fewer good things, and more and more fake scammers, and fewer old collectors went there.

People in the capital are in charge of ghost markets, and they say a word to go to ghost markets, and they don’t talk about going there or going there, let alone going around.

The word "waiting" vividly shows the characteristics of the ghost market. The water here is deep and shallow, and whether it is urgent or slow, you have to know it by yourself.

There is no after-sales guarantee when buying and selling things in the ghost market. It depends entirely on your own eyesight and the lights are dim at night, so you have to bring a flashlight, which is indispensable when you go to the ghost market.

If you don't wear a flashlight, you will know that you are a novice at a glance.

Nowadays, mobile phones come with their own flashlight function, but a strong light flashlight is still a must-have, which is much more convenient than mobile phones to see things.

In the early years, the ghost market focused on negotiations, which meant that we had to buy the price. If we didn’t buy it, we wouldn’t have to. If we didn’t want to buy it, we should not negotiate the price. Now there are not so many rules, but if we negotiate the price and don’t buy it, we will be treated as a mess and may be a little trouble when we encounter some unreasonable people.

So don’t bargain with others if you don’t like something.

There are more than one ghost market in the capital nowadays. For example, the Big Willow Ghost Market has attracted many tourists from other places. Many foreigners come here. There are more things there, not only antiques, but also clothes, daily necessities, etc., and once a week.

The Hei Market is more professional than the big willow tree. It is basically antiques and has some modern old things, such as radios, cameras, etc.

Similarly, the environment in the Black Market Ghost Market is more complicated, and there are no shortage of things to pay attention to.

Among the things that Shangxin mentioned, there is one thing that Shangxin repeatedly mentioned, that is, don’t buy newly unearthed things, as it will easily cause trouble.

The newly unearthed items are basically the proceeds from tomb robbery, which are stolen goods. If you buy stolen goods, you must not only return them, but you may also cause lawsuits if you do not do it well.

How to see if the porcelain was unearthed? Shangxin had told Luo Hao before. Luo Hao had learned this. Shangxin was very relieved of Luo Hao. What he was worried about was Shangxuejun. He specially called Shangxuejun home and gave him some advice.

The ghost market opened at twelve o'clock in the evening, and it was still early. Before Shangxin could finish speaking, Shang Xuejun hurriedly pulled Luo Hao away and went out for dinner.

Shangxin never eats staple food at night, only eats some fruits to keep healthy, which makes it convenient for the two of them.

"I haven't been to the Ghost Market for a long time. The old man won't let me go. This time I'm thanking you for your blessing, and I can enjoy it again!"

I found a roadside stall outside, and Shang Xuejun ordered some skewers, ordered some beer, and said while drinking.

Shang Xuejun seemed a little excited. He used to like to go to Guishi, but after being deceived several times, Shang Xin forbid him from entering such places to pay tuition fees. He hadn't been to Guishi for several years.

While having a meal, Luo Hao asked about the specific details of the Military Ghost Market in the Shangxue Military.

After knowing a rough idea, Luo Hao had a basic understanding of the ghost market. The ghost market is not as terrifying as the name, there are no ghosts, only people.

But sometimes people are more terrifying than ghosts, and their hearts are more complicated than ghosts. The most important thing to pay attention to in the ghost market is people.

Ghosts don’t eat people, but sometimes people eat people.

The ghost market opened at twelve o'clock in the evening. Luo Hao was not in a hurry and slowly drank beer with Shang Xuejun. He drank until after eleven o'clock. When Shang Xuejun was a little dizzy, the two of them checked out and left.

Heishikou is not far from Panjiayuan, only a few stops away.

There are many old houses there, and there is also an old Catholic church. The ghost market is right behind the church, and there is a small street with street lights, but the street lights are not on.

"Sir, you are here!"

As soon as Luo Hao got off the car, he saw a familiar figure. Hu Biao ran over from the side of the road and bent down respectfully to him.

"You're here too?"

Luo Hao was a little surprised when he saw Hu Biao. He only asked Hu Biao to provide information. Unexpectedly, Hu Biao would be here. Judging from his appearance, he was waiting for him specifically.

"I am with my husband. I know a lot about the tricks in the ghost market. I know all the liars. I won't let the husband be deceived!"

Hu Biao hurriedly explained that in fact, he just wanted to follow Luo Hao and earn more attention in front of Luo Hao. For him, Luo Hao is a big shot. Let the big shot meet him more and win over some feelings.

"who is he?"

Shang Xuejun asked in a low voice, saying that he didn't know Hu Biao, but Hu Biao recognized Shang Xuejun.

The Shangxuejun often went to Panjiayuan and was targeted by Hu Biao, but he was a local from the capital. He had an authentic Beijing movie accent and was tall and big, so he was not easy to mess with at first sight. Hu Biao never attacked such a person.

"A person Pan Jiayuan knew was well-informed. He told me about the Ghost Market today!"

Luo Hao briefly explained that he did not say that Hu Biao had taught him a lesson before. He still had a task and would not expose Hu Biao's shortcomings too much.

"I forgot, otherwise I'll tell you!"

Shang Xuejun snorted. If he knew that the old man asked Luo Hao to come to the ghost market, he would definitely say that he hadn't thought about this before.

"Let's go, the ghost market is open!"

The Shangxuejun doesn’t like Hu Biao. Hu Biao looks like he is not a regular person at first glance, and he also has tattoos on his body. Those from the army are not very interested in such people.

The ghost market is indeed open. It was just twelve o'clock in the evening and many stalls have been set up.

Hu Biao followed Luo Hao, while Luo Hao followed the Shangxue Army and walked into this small street together.

From outside, I saw that the street was a little dim and I couldn't see many people. After entering, Luo Hao found that there was a different world. There were already many people sitting in the corner of the wall, and all kinds of things were placed in front of him.

These people didn't talk to each other, they all sat in a stool, looked down at their own things.

The things they set up are different from those in Panjiayuan. Each of the street stalls in Panjiayuan is very full, and there are all kinds of things. Most of the vendors here only set up two or three types of things, such as porcelain, which are basically ceramics, and at most other things are embellished.
