After eating the tripe hotpot, Sha Zhu took the initiative to take on the finishing work.
Chen Jun took Chen Xueru back to his room to have tea.
The two of them stayed together until after eleven o'clock. Chen Jun righteously rejected Chen Xueru's request to stay overnight and rode his bicycle to send her home.
When we returned, it was already past twelve o'clock.
When passing by a small park, Chen Jun actually discovered that he could vaguely see some flashlights inside.
Um?
Could it be that there is a black market here as well?
Ever since he bought a set of knives in the black market last time, Chen Jun has always wanted to explore it again.
After understanding it for a period of time, Chen Jun also realized that the black market in the old city is not only available in the second half of the night, some of it can even be found during the day.
This is all because the relevant personnel are unwilling to intervene too much and turn a blind eye. If the red armbands really want to investigate, they know all the black markets in the city very well and can find one with just one sweep.
But we can’t let the black market be too conspicuous, so we’ll check one or two every once in a while.
Jia Zhang was in big trouble last time. She was caught red-handed the first time she went there.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Jun turned his wrist, put away his bicycle, put on a mask and a hat, and walked into the small park.
You know what, this black market is even bigger than the last one. Not only are people exchanging food, but there are even puppies for sale.
However, there has been a food shortage in the past two years, and no one would want puppies even if they were given away for free. Even if someone does raise them, more than 50% of them do so for the meat.
Chen Jun doesn't mind others eating dog meat, but he himself finds it hard to eat it.
After strolling for a few steps, Chen Jun bought two wild turtles and two geese.
"No, this thing is too heavy. If you want it, take it away. If you don't want it, get out of here. I don't have the time to take it home for you."
Chen Jun, who had just squatted down to buy some goose eggs, suddenly heard shouting not far away.
Yo!
This authentic accent and tone of voice do not seem to be that of an ordinary person.
The Qing Dynasty has been gone for some years, but there are still many lonely dignitaries in Beijing.
These people are used to a life of luxury and are used to being superior to others. For the sake of their reputation, they will never go out to work. They will never go out to work in their entire lives.
But there is never enough money.
So some people took out tables, chairs, benches, calligraphy and paintings from their homes to exchange for money. It first started in the Panjiayuan area. The reason why the black market was able to grow on such a large scale was largely due to these people.
Thinking of this, Chen Jun bought a few goose eggs and walked towards the noise.
You know what, the person who just spoke was not dressed like an ordinary person. He had a ring on his thumb and was sitting on a small chair, looking at people with his nose.
"How can I carry it home if you don't send it to me? This is ridiculous!"
A man wearing a hat in front of the stall tutted in dissatisfaction but was reluctant to move an inch.
Obviously, he really likes the things on this stall.
"How about you give me a discount and I'll pay someone to take it away."
The stall owner raised his eyebrows and waved the fan in his hand: "Not even a cent less!"
With this tone and this behavior, he really looks like a prince.
Tsk tsk, it’s a new society now, and you still dare to pretend like this?
Chen Jun raised his eyebrows and followed the man's gaze, and found that the two were talking about a large wooden box.
This box is finely crafted and carved with some auspicious clouds, which makes it look very special.
But...this special code is from last week!
Take another look at the bottles and jars on the ground, most of them are old.
Good job!
I originally thought that this man was a prince of the previous dynasty, but I didn't expect him to be a black-hearted profiteer.
And he is also a profiteer with a big appetite.
In addition to calligraphy and paintings, there are also furniture, porcelain, toys, and even some bronze artifacts.
If this thing is real, Chen Jun will definitely buy it all for him. Even if half of it is fake, he can still make a lot of money.
At present, there are no restrictions on the buying and selling of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and bronze ware, but this will no longer be the case in a few years.
Especially those utensils with words printed on them, for every additional word, the sentence would be extended by several more years.
Glancing at the stall owner who was still pretending, Chen Jun squatted down, picked up a few copper coins and played with them.
After checking them one by one, I found out that they were all fakes, and they were so fake that you could even see knife coins in the pile.
"Hey, hey, hey, man, who taught you to look at goods like this?"
The prince was very dissatisfied and shouted: "Handle them carefully, one by one. These are old items handed down from our ancestors. Can you afford to pay for them if they are damaged?"
Chen Jun was not angry when he heard this. He put the coins in his hand back on the stall and started to look at them with his hands.
"You don't even turn on the lights, hum~~" Seeing that Chen Jun was not a person with a bad temper, the prince could not help but snorted.
"Boss, this little thing looks pretty good. How much is it?" Chen Jun asked, holding a small copper coin.
You know what, although most of the goods on this stall are fake, there are actually a few genuine ones.
Just like this small copper coin, called Duanping Tongbao, it was minted during the reign of Emperor Lizong of Song Dynasty. It is a real old item. Although its value is not particularly high, it can be considered a bargain.
If you can come across Duanping Chongbao, Duanping Yuanbao and Changjiaoping style five-cent copper coins from the same period, that would be a great bargain.
Seeing that Chen Jun was really interested in buying it, Prince Beile stopped paying attention to the man who was still haggling over the price, picked up the flashlight, shone it on the copper coin, and snorted, "It's just a worthless little thing. I'll give you five dollars."
Um???
You dare to ask for five dollars for a worthless little thing? You are so arrogant.
But it is certain that this prince did not know that the copper coin was genuine, so he first called out a price that was not too outrageous and waited for Chen Jun to bargain.
Chen Jun ignored the words and continued to look down at the pile of copper coins in front of him.
It took Chen Jun about five or six minutes to collect a set of small Five Emperors' coins.
These coins are not very old, and even if they are genuine, they are not expensive, at most only one or two cents each, not worth much.
It was only after several decades that people started speculating on it that the price went up.
"How about fifty cents for these worthless gadgets?" Chen Jun asked with a smile.
"How many??"
After hearing Chen Jun's offer, Prince Beile sat up straight, pointed at Chen Jun with his fan and said, "If you want to buy, buy it. If you don't want to buy, don't make trouble. All the things on my stall are treasures."
"Seven cents or not, I really want to buy it."
"No, the minimum is ten dollars."
"Boss, can you really not sell this box any cheaper?" The man just now still didn't want to give up, but the price offered by this prince was really a bit high.
The prince was not panicked either. He glanced at him and said nothing.
Judging from his experience of cheating and deceiving people over the years, this man is most likely going to pay money.
At this time, you must keep calm.
