Chapter 132 Things on the Ghost Market

Now, I haven't had a good sleep all night. Before dawn, Jia Sidao got up excitedly and knocked on Wang Biao's door. The other party was also washing up. When he saw that it was Jia Sidao, he smiled at Jia Sidao and said, "It's really not easy to get up so early. I thought I needed to wait for me to call you."

"How can that be?" Jia Sidao replied, "I specially set the alarm clock."

For this reason, Jia Sidao did put the alarm clock on the head of the bed. Of course, this was just a fear of something. Although most of the time I went to bed was late, Jia Sidao did not lose his mental cultivation for a whole day. If he really wanted to get up early, it would be a relatively simple thing for Jia Sidao. Moreover, he could also be energetic during the day. However, once this person had nothing important to do, Jia Sidao would be happy to stay in bed for a while.

Looking at Jia Sidao's quiet smile, Wang Biao didn't say much, but just muttered: "It's better to be young." Then, the two of them said out of the hotel together.

Because it is summer and in the south, the weather is naturally very refreshing. Compared to the hot day, such a time period makes people feel more comfortable. By the time the two of them came to the ghost market, there were already many vendors and tourists here.

Although I was at the location, I visited Jade Street last evening, all the shops on both sides of the street had not opened yet. There were only a lot of street stall-style shops on the ground, some nearby families brought tables, some just had a layer of cloth towels, and even those directly placed things on the ground. Whether it was finished jade or anything else, there were a wide variety of things, which was really interesting.

Especially at each stall, there was a light on. The lights were not very bright and dim. However, the number of lights was too large. From a distance, the entire street was flickering and the lights were reflected in the fun, which made Jia Sidao feel happy. As for the pedestrians who were passing through the street, they could hardly see clearly. In a trance, they just felt the figures shaking. Jia Sidao looked at it and understood why such a market was called the "ghost market".

When Jia Sidao and Wang Biao talked about their thoughts, Wang Biao was still a little overwhelmed even though he was always calm. While walking, he shook his head slightly. I don’t know whether it was his approval or opposition to Jia Sidao. However, Jia Sidao heard Wang Biao’s explanation that some places would call such markets the "Tianguangxu Market". The realities and realities still require the buyers to rely on their own eyes and strength to identify them.

Jia Sidao nodded when he heard this, followed Wang Biao, and did not have much hope for the things on the stalls on both sides of the street.

For Jia Sidao, even if the finished jade is good, the profit will not be too high when you stop. After all, Jia Sidao does not have a channel to sell finished jade products. If it is used to collect it yourself, you can still take a look.

However, just like the antique market, there are good things in such a ghost market, but the probability of encountering them is not too high.

Jia Sidao just took a random look, so he wanted to have some fun, and in addition, he could gain more insight.

It’s like visiting an ordinary store, looking at the shapes, carvings, and other jade products is also a pleasure. Especially the things that appear in the ghost market. If you say orthodox things like jade bracelets, textures, etc., you really can’t see them at first glance, and you don’t know whether it’s good or bad. You can only look at the lights of Hunan and look at them roughly. Unless you squat down, take out a magnifying glass, and study them carefully. But when it comes to the shapes of these things, some people will look at them.

For example, carving jade into large ornaments, such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Maitreya Buddha, or carving the artistic conception of a landscape painting based on the trend of the green belt of jade, is completely eye-opening to Jia Sidao.

"Let's go, don't look at these things, they look pretty good. However, their value is not high." Wang Biao saw Jia Sidao, and seemed to be looking at those finished jade products with strange shapes. He couldn't help but remind him, for fear that Jia Sidao would suffer if he didn't know the jade market.

"Haha, Brother Wang, I'm just watching the fun." Jia Sidao replied, "I haven't seen many ornaments before. They are carved with jade materials into such a dazzling appearance. Moreover, this shape is really too large. Not to mention jade, it's just ordinary nephrite, stone carvings, etc., so it's probably rare to have such a large shape?"

"That's it." Wang Biao nodded, "Jade products, speaking of which are jade bracelets, ring faces, earrings, corsages, or small ornaments hanging around the neck. After all, good jade materials are already very rare. If such a large material appears and polished into a whole piece of finished product, it can be placed in a museum, not to mention being sold, and as national treasures are provided."

After saying that, Wang Biao really doesn't like those large devices.

Jia Sidao also nodded secretly. Not to mention, the glass-type imperial green jade in his own home is indeed priceless if it is not divided and polished into a ornament. As for how much it is worth, Jia Sidao himself is unsure.

However, if it was really made into ornaments, Jia Sidao guessed that he might not be selling it, right?

If you are short of money, it is more practical to cut it out and transfer it.

Because the two of them knew the finished jade products well, they couldn't take a few glances at each stall, and they could almost find out if there was any good thing. Compared with those tourists who were just here to see, the speed was relatively fast. Occasionally, they lit up a piece of finished jade products, took out a magnifying glass and looked at each other carefully, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Sometimes, it is also a pleasure to find out the defective products on the stall and study the fake ingredients.

But every time he selected jadeite into pieces and observed for a while, Jia Sidao would wipe his hands. It was not that the things on the street stalls were dirty, but to suit the environment of the ghost market, many stall owners would apply a layer of oil on their own goods. After all, the color of jadeite, after being moisturized by oil and water, looks even brighter under the lamp.

Generally speaking, the texture of beans may be eye-catching and it is considered an ice type.

Needless to say, everyone knows the price difference during this period.

"How much does this thing cost?" Jia Sidao was sighing, but Wang Biao asked about the starting price of a Guanyin ornament. Jia Sidao took it and looked at it. His fingers were thick and flat, and his carving was pretty good. In terms of color, it was not easy to say because it was under the light. Seeing that it was Wang Biao's first time asking about the price, Jia Sidao used his supernatural power to sense it. The texture was pretty good and it was ice-type. At this time, looking at the color, it felt a little blue. The white part around it was quite transparent.

If the price is cheap, you can consider it.

But the seller was obviously not a novice, and he had a price of 50,000 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Jia Sidao and Wang Biao frowned. The price was too far from his heart. Wang Biao did not bargain, and directly signaled Jia Sidao with his eyes. Jia Sidao put down his things, and the two left.

To put it bluntly, the transactions in the ghost market are similar to the forms of some small commodities. If you bargain, once the seller is caught and not allowed, it is not enough to buy them. People will say that you deliberately test the bottom line of the price, and even if others see it, they will not talk to you. Although the rules of these older generations in the ghost market are becoming increasingly indifferent, after all, in the past, those who could come to the ghost market were experts, and although many sellers took advantage of the troubled waters, there were still some good things. However, nowadays, fewer and fewer experts are, and more tourists are.

Being lawful to tourists and laymen will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

In order to avoid such trouble, Wang Biao and Jia Sidao simply stopped talking. In this way, the seller would not bother. Most people who understand the industry would treat them according to industry rules.

This is probably the charm of the ghost market.

Along the way, Jia Sidao and Wang Biao mostly just checked and had no chance to take action. Finally, Wang Biao sighed: "In the current ghost market, it is really difficult to find some good things."

"Haha, there are good things, and even the price is ridiculously expensive." Jia Sidao discovered that it was not that there were ice or glass products, but the other party's offer was too high, and it was not weak at all compared to the goods in the store. In this way, there was no need for others to buy them in the ghost market.

At least, I just found a big merchant outside, bought something, and had some after-sales service. As for the appraisal certificate, although it may not be 100% correct, it is also a psychological comfort. I took it out to meet friends and talk to me, which is also a certificate, right?

These days, rich people don’t care how much they spend, they only care about face. If you buy your things, you have to give them some capital to brag about.

And in the ghost market, it’s good to say that you buy something that is really right, after all, you have a good eye. If you buy a worthless fake, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky and have no place to make any decision.

Seeing the entire jade street approaching to the end, Jia Sidao thought that they would not have any substantial gains when they woke up early in the morning, but they found that there were people selling various stones on the corner of the street, which were piled up in a pile. Because the stones looked strange, at the beginning, perhaps some people might think they were jadeite rough stones.

After all, here is Pingzhou!

However, perhaps because there were too many people asking, the seller was annoyed, so he simply erected a small sign and sold strange stones. In this way, the person who saw it could see it at a glance at it at a glance. Those who wanted to buy some good things would naturally ignore it.

Some of these strange stones are beautiful, but their value has never been too high. Not to mention that compared with jadeite raw stones, as long as the quality is not in place, even if the shape is subtle, in the eyes of collectors, it is just a strange stone.

Unless it is a famous stone such as Qingtian stone and Tianhuang stone, the price is another matter. Especially Tianhuang, there has been a saying that one or two yellow gold in ancient times. In modern times, it is probably a lot of gold in one or two yellow, right?

Even so, it is hard to say that the stall is deserted. There are a few young people standing there, joking with each other, pointing at the stones on the stall. Occasionally, a few laughs are quite interesting to the noise that has been walking along the way.

Jia Sidao smiled at Wang Biao and walked over first. He squatted down and saw that there was a two-meter-square gray cloth towel on the ground, with stones placed on it, ranging from large or small, no less than forty or fifty pieces. The largest one was about two or three fists, but the small one was only the size of fingers.

After picking up a few pieces at will, Jia Sidao subconsciously frowned. There are so many types here. There are ordinary stones; there are also some similar ones to Tianhuang; there are even some jadeite rough stones.

However, Wang Biao also looked at the jadeite rough stone handed over by Jia Sidao. Just from the outer skin, it was not very good. It was a rough stone with no gambling ability. If it was sold in terms of blocks, it might be about a hundred, dozens, or the kind that no one wanted. At that moment, he put it back.

However, one of the light yellow stones looked a bit shaped, like the stone of a child lying on the side, which aroused the interest of many people. The young people next to them were discussing this stone with great enthusiasm. Jia Sidao also looked at it. The surface of the stone was quite smooth and the texture was relatively delicate. It was good if you bought it as an ornamental object.

This pictographic strange stone is also attributed to the gift of nature. It is born with various forms, and coupled with artificial imagination, the fun contained in it gradually becomes deeper and deeper. It is like the meat-shaped stone "Dongpo Pork". Its lifelike appearance makes everyone who sees it want to take a bite.

The stone in front of me that looks like a child sleeping is not too realistic in shape. Otherwise, the stall owner would have bought it for 2,000 yuan.

He carefully picked up a lot of small stones on the street stall. Jia Sidao just looked at the outside and occasionally found that some of them looked similar, such as seeing a stone that looked like a monkey holding a peach, and his faint smile naturally appeared on his face. Even Wang Biao, after squatting down, he could also find a lot of interest from these different stones.

Of course, when it comes to taking action, it doesn’t mean that. If you have seen these stones, you can’t forget to take them home. It’s useless and not much value.

However, as he was about to stand up and turn and leave, Jia Sidao accidentally touched the small stone with his left hand, which gave Jia Sidao a feeling, but made him patiently pick it up again.
