Looking at the duty room, Yang Jing's heart moved, and he immediately said: "Comrade, I really encountered some difficulties."
"Come on, let's talk inside. It's very cold outside." The staff member warmly welcomed Yang Jing into the house. As soon as he entered the house, Yang Jing was stimulated by the hot air coming towards him and hummed twice.
After being frozen outside for more than an hour, there was nothing more comfortable than being able to enter such a warm little house.
"Comrade, are you encountering any difficulties?" the staff member asked kindly.
Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade, I just came to Yanjing recently. I heard that there is a ghost market in Panjiayuan, so I came here early this morning and bought a few things. But I found that I had no place to put these things for the time being. But I didn't want to go back so early, so I thought about whether I could rent a house nearby. But it's only this time now..."
The staff member smiled and said, "No wonder you are like this. You are from another place and don't know the situation in Panjiayuan. But since you are in this situation, it is not appropriate to rent a house now. I think you can leave your things here first. I will give you a receipt and you can take your things away when you leave."
“Is this appropriate?”
"Haha, there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you trust me, I promise that your things won't get lost here."
Of course Yang Jing wanted to find a place to store the things, but he was still a little worried about the gatekeeper. After all, the things in his hands were all old items from Dakaimen. If they were brought back to 2017, any one of them would be worth more than a million yuan.
But it can't be left here. Where can Yang Jing find a house at this time? You can't just break down someone's door and ask to rent their house at this time, right? Wouldn't they beat Yang Jing out with a fire poker?
But if Yang Jing was asked to stay here and not go to the ghost market, it was obviously not what Yang Jing wanted.
He had made so many preparations and accumulated so many treasures just to have a good time at the ghost market in this era. If he just stayed here and watched these things, it would be a shame for all his previous preparations.
The staff member seemed to see Yang Jing's hesitation, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not like no one has temporarily stored their things here before. Panjiayuan is a little off the beaten track, and some people from Haidian and Xicheng buy things and can't take them away temporarily, so they often store them here. Don't worry, I've written you a receipt, and I promise your things will be there."
The other party had said such a thing, and it would be too disrespectful to refuse it. Besides, Yang Jing really had no place to put the bronze statue, so he smiled and nodded and said, "Master, I'm really troublesome to you." Then, Yang Jing took out two boxes of Camel cigarettes from his bag and put them on the table, "Master, these are cigarettes I brought from England. They taste good. Please try them."
"Wow, this is a rare thing, thank you." The staff member did not hesitate and accepted the two boxes of cigarettes with a smile.
Yang Jing thought about it and finally decided not to leave the things in the bag behind, but only to keep the bronze statue. In this day and age, very few people in China can recognize this thing, and it is estimated that no one would want to take this bronze statue.
"Hey, where is this Buddha statue from? I can't tell! But this shape is really rare!"
The staff member obviously didn't recognize the origin of the bronze statue, but still left the name "Four-Armed Dancing Bronze Statue" on the receipt. This made Yang Jing feel more relieved.
After getting the receipt, Yang Jing thanked him and walked out, and soon returned to the greenhouse area. However, after such a delay, there seemed to be more people in the greenhouse area, and many stalls were crowded with people. Even if Yang Jing wanted to see, he couldn't squeeze to the front.
In desperation, Yang Jing had to look for stalls with fewer people.
That’s right, this era is not like Panjiayuan more than 20 years later, where there are more sellers than buyers. In this era, there are far more people who come to Panjiayuan to shop than those who set up stalls, especially during the ghost market, when there are many people gathered in front of almost every stall.
In a corner of the greenhouse area, Yang Jing saw someone selling old books and newspapers.
At this time, the used book section of Panjiayuan had not yet moved to the westernmost part of the market. At this time, whether it was selling used books or miscellaneous items or stones, they were all concentrated in the greenhouse area.
There were not many people at this stall, so Yang Jing went over to it.
"Boss, what do you want? I have a lot of old books, old newspapers and magazines, as well as a lot of other materials." The boss was very enthusiastic. Other stalls were surrounded by several or even dozens of people, but his stall was deserted. Finally, an old man came, and he said he had to grab him no matter what.
Yang Jing squatted down and looked at the things on the stall in the dim light.
As expected, this stall mainly sells old books and newspapers, but most of them are not worth showing off, whether they are old newspapers or books.
Most of those old newspapers and periodicals were from before and after the liberation, and although they were quite old, they did not have much collection value. As for those old books, most of them were from the Republic of China period, and they were not well preserved.
No wonder there is no one at this stall. Anyone who knows a little bit about the business would definitely not waste time at this stall.
Yang Jing shook his head slightly and was about to leave when his eyes were suddenly attracted by a pile of manuscripts in the corner of the stall.
"This is..." Yang Jing's heart beat faster involuntarily at this glance, and then Yang Jing picked up a very old magazine that was placed on the top.
