Chapter 335 The Sneaky Man
Da Niu stared wide-eyed, too afraid to utter a word.
Just a short while later, he saw several familiar faces moving around among them, all of whom were prominent figures in Jiangyuan County.
The eldest son of the Ding family, Jiang Ren of the Jiang family, the patriarch of the Wu family, and the patriarch of the Yu family from the town were also present.
Most of them were people he had never seen before, and they seemed to be from Jiangyuan County at all.
Shu Yu coughed lightly, and Da Niu immediately snapped back to reality.
Shu Yu said softly, "Let's go in and take a look."
Da Niu then followed her into the hall, one step behind her.
The hall in front of us is about 500 square meters in size. On the left is a round counter with several screens next to it. There are seven or eight people sitting at the table in front of the counter, talking to people who come up to ask questions.
With a screen separating them and the two tables a bit far apart, they clearly provided each other with a relatively private space.
Shu Yu sighed, "This black market is quite peculiar."
Inside the hall, there are also many counters displaying numerous wooden signs and pictures. The signs describe the items being traded, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade artifacts, while the accompanying pictures show what the items look like, giving people a more intuitive impression.
Anyone interested in these items can simply ask the shop assistant standing nearby, who will provide a brief introduction. If they wish to see the actual items, the assistant will take them to the room where the items are stored or the storeroom for a personal inspection.
In this way, both the buyer and seller can avoid knowing who the other is, thus protecting the customer's privacy.
Shu Yu took a stroll around with great interest, then left the hall and went out through the side door.
Once outside, you'll find a beautiful courtyard. The estate is quite large, and I don't know who built it, but the environment is very comfortable and pleasant.
Da Niu tried his best to keep his eyes from wandering, but he was still stunned by the bustling scene before him.
"This black market doesn't look like a black market at all," he muttered to himself.
Shu Yu nodded, "It's more like a scenic spot for people to visit and relax, right?"
Da Niu hummed in agreement, "And there's food you can eat as much as you want."
"Then when no one's around later, grab some food to try, it's free anyway."
Da Niu said embarrassedly, "That's not a good idea."
"It's alright, we're just here to see what it's like. It's a rare opportunity to come here." The food here is safe, otherwise, with so many distinguished guests, if something really happened, this black market wouldn't be able to stay afloat.
As they spoke, the two had already crossed the courtyard and arrived at a large hall on the left.
This hall is smaller than the one at the entrance, but it offers more privacy. There are many private rooms inside, and the items on the wooden plaques are more valuable.
Moreover, these wooden signs are hung on the doors of each private room. If you are interested, you can go in directly to see the items or discuss business, or even meet the seller if you wish.
Shu Yu quickly came out from this side. She originally intended to go to the hall on the right, but when she looked up, she saw a three-story building not far away, and Ding Wenxi and others were walking towards that building.
Shu Yu said to Da Niu, "Let's go over there and take a look."
"good."
Da Niu immediately followed, but by the time the two of them reached the small building, they had fallen behind the others, as most of those who wanted to go in had already gone inside.
Just as Shu Yu was about to walk inside, she suddenly saw someone sneaking out of the flower bushes behind the small building.
She paused, and Da Niu, seeing her too, quickly said, "Is that a thief? Should we call for help?"
My period started, so I can't sit still. I'll be updating less today. Love you all!
