Chapter 583: What happened in the tiger’s den
Wang Kaixuan whispered: "Old Hu, the home of Master Chen is too luxurious. The coffee tables are all carved with white jade. We would have been beaten as landlords long ago."
Hu Bayi scolded: "Fat man, stop talking."
Wang Kaixuan was resentful and kept silent.
Shunzi also heard it, but didn't care. He took the two of them out of the hall of Ye Mansion with a smile, and chose a good room for them in the backyard.
The two rooms are connected and have an antique style, with a large white soft bed and luxurious decoration.
There is also a color TV in the room that has become popular in Hong Kong, but there are not many TV stations.
Even so, this was the first time for the two of them to stay in a room of this kind. They simply threw away their backpacks, lay on the soft bed and looked at the crystal chandelier ceiling, refusing to get up for a long time.
Wang Kaixuan smelled the fragrant sworn bedding and sighed: "Old Hu, fat man, I will hang out with you for the rest of my life. From now on, I will live in a big house like this every day."
Hu Bayi smiled and urged Wang Kaixuan to get up and take a bath. Wu Sansheng would take them around Changsha in the evening.
After the two took a hot bath, they shaved and changed into suits. They looked much younger and handsome.
As the sky gradually dimmed, the two of them had another rich Changsha-style meal at Chen's Mansion Restaurant.
But Master Chen still didn't show up at the restaurant, Shunzi was the one accompanying them.
Knowing that the two of them were going out at night, Shunzi arranged for a waiter for them.
The waiter’s name is A Liang. He grew up in Changsha and is very familiar with Changsha City.
A Liang drove out a car and prepared to take the two of them to their destination.
It has to be said that for Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, being transported by car is something they can show off for a lifetime.
Hu Bayi pulled off the threads of his cheap suit and sat in the back seat of the car, looking out the window at the dense flow of people.
Colorful signboard light bulbs have appeared on the roadside, flickering.
The cries of various small vendors came one after another, offering everything from food, clothing, and small things to play with.
"At first glance, Changsha is more prosperous than Peiping." Hu Bayi sighed in his heart and couldn't help but asked: "A Liang, is this place so lively at night?"
"Yes, Master Hu, after the above policies were liberalized, many self-employed businesses have emerged in Changsha."
Wang Kaixuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, interjected: "Hey, brother A Liang, you have a very high level of political consciousness, and you also know the policies from above."
"Master Wang, I often drive for others, and I heard it from what I heard."
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were still very curious about the bustling city of Changsha. They asked many questions, and Aliang answered them all.
Soon, the car stopped in a small square, and Wu Sansheng stood on the roadside with two dogs.
When Wu Sansheng saw Chen's license plate, he came up to him. Seeing the suits they were wearing, Wu Sansheng couldn't help joking: "Boss Hu, where did Boss Wang get rich?"
"Sansheng, didn't you ask us to dress more formally?"
"Yes, you are well dressed and very formal."
After getting off the bus, Hu Bayi discovered that there was a huge flow of people near the square, and they all poured into an underground entrance.
Wu Sansheng put his arm around Hu Bayi's shoulders and said: "Old Hu, there is an auction tonight. It is an internal gathering of Jiumen. It only happens once a month. I will take you to see it."
"Three provinces, we brothers have no money."
Wu Sansheng smiled and said: "Money and everything are trivial matters. If you like it, just tell me directly. It's not a big deal. Moreover, the reward Jinwangtang promised you is also with me. The total is two hundred thousand. Although
It’s not much, but it’s enough for you to buy some gadgets.”
After A Liang parked the car, he said he was guarding the car and waiting for them to come out.
Hu Ba nodded, and Wang Kaixuan followed Wu Sansheng into the underground passage.
This underground passage is the entrance to the Changsha air-raid shelter. On the way, he also heard A Liang introduce that during the Anti-Japanese War, this nine-door air-raid shelter saved many people in Changsha.
Today, this air-raid shelter has become the largest place for buying and selling cultural relics in Changsha.
If everyone in Peiping knows Panjiayuan, then in Hunan and nearby provinces, everyone knows "Changsha Tiger Cave", which is this air-raid shelter.
As for why Changsha air-raid shelters are called Tiger Cave, it is because during the Anti-Japanese War, the dense air-raid shelters in Chongqing were called "Longtan". This place is as famous as Chongqing's air-raid shelters and was later called "Tiger Cave".
There are only three entrances to Tiger's Den, and they need to be entered and exited within the specified time, so there is a lot of traffic in a short period of time.
Wu Sansheng led his two wolfdogs with collars to clear the way ahead. People around him did not dare to approach. Occasionally, a few people who knew Wu Sansheng called out: "Little Wu Sanye."
Wu Sansheng also smiled and nodded in response.
Hu Bayi looked at the layout of the air raid shelter and asked: "Three provinces, do you know a lot of people in Changsha?"
"I grew up in Changsha and later moved to Hangzhou. Naturally, I know many people. Even if I am in Hangzhou, whenever there is an auction in Tiger Cave, I often come here."
Hu Ba nodded. No wonder Wu Sansheng was able to skillfully lead his own dog to clear the way.
Wang Kaixuan on the side couldn't help but said: "I've heard about the Tiger's Lair auction in Panjiayuan. It doesn't seem like ordinary people can participate. What kind of treasures can there be in it?"
"What treasure? Let me tell you, Fatty, as long as you have enough money and are lucky, you can buy anything in there." Wu Sansheng made a riddle and didn't explain much, but this aroused Fatty's anger even more.
Curiosity.
Two dogs and three people followed the flow of people through several winding passages and arrived at a place where people were noisy.
The passage here is very wide, and the first batch of cultural relic vendors who rushed in have already found their seats, set up their stalls, and placed the cultural relics to be bought and sold.
Ironware from the Han Dynasty, ancient paintings from the Tang Dynasty, porcelain from the Song Dynasty... everything is available.
Yellow and white light bulbs hang on the high ceiling of the cave. Looking around, there are crowds of people, and there is no end to this passage.
Wu Sansheng introduced: "At the end of this street, there are three streets, which are dedicated to buying and selling fixed categories of cultural relics, one for ancient calligraphy and painting, one for jade and porcelain, and one for ghost artifacts."
"Ghost weapon?" Hu Bayi looked puzzled.
Wang Kaixuan, who had spent two days in Panjiayuan, couldn't help showing off his knowledge and hurriedly explained: "Old Hu, you don't know this, right? Ghost weapons generally refer to dirty cultural relics, mostly used for sacrifices and burials.
, it is said that these cultural relics are dirty and unclean, and those who hold them will be cursed, so they are called ghost weapons. Many ghost weapons and cultural relics are extremely valuable, but no one takes them."
Wu Sansheng nodded and added: "The fat man is right, but there are a lot of fakes on the street where ghost weapons are sold, and it is easy to be deceived. If you go there, don't collect things randomly."
