After finishing their barbecue, Lin Xue and the others were just about to head back when they saw groups of suspicious-looking people walking by the roadside.
"Boss, what are these people doing? Why are they all acting so sneakily?"
After those people left, Lin Xue asked the stall owner for information.
"Hey, you mean them!"
"There's a ghost market about 500 meters to the left ahead. It opens around 2 or 3 a.m. every day, and lots of people go there to hunt for treasures. This ghost market has been around for a long time, and unless it's windy or rainy, it opens every even-numbered day of the lunar calendar!"
"If you're interested, you can go and take a look, but you can't make a fuss at the ghost market. In the past, people would use something like 'hands-to-hand' to negotiate prices, but now you just type in the price on your phone, and the other party also types in their offer on their phone!"
"I have to say, people these days really know how to have fun!"
When the boss talked about this, he had a big smile on his face, and it seemed that he had been to this ghost market quite often.
Lin Xue and her group were among the last customers at the shop. After they were served, the owner started packing up to close the shop.
"Dad, do you know about this ghost market?"
Upon hearing the term "ghost market," Lin Xue turned to look at Lin Haotian.
"I've lived in H City for most of my life, and I've never heard of a ghost market here."
"Since we've run into them, let's go check them out. We're not going to get any sleep tonight anyway!"
Lin Haotian was also very curious about what this ghost market was like, so he didn't drive and just followed the people in front of him into the area of the ghost market.
The streets ahead were deserted and quiet, but here they were brightly lit.
Besides a few streetlights, the street is also filled with various lamps brought by the stall owners.
They have all sorts of lamps, including kerosene lamps, lanterns, and flashlights!
Lin An'an was quite surprised; she had never been to a market like this before!
"I didn't expect there to be a market like this here, but the fact that everyone is so quiet actually has a certain charm!"
Lin Haotian lowered his voice and whispered to the two of them that most people just look after their own stalls and the owners don't greet customers. They only take out their phones to quote prices after the customers have chosen what they want.
Even if there are voices, the volume is extremely low, and you can usually not hear them from two or three steps away.
It truly lives up to its name as the Ghost Market; they're genuinely afraid of disturbing the spirits!
"Let's go, let's go for a look around!"
Lin Xue didn't say anything, but mouthed something to the two of them before leading the way to one of the stalls.
Seeing this ghost market reminded Lin Xue of the days when she strolled through the market with her senior brother in the world of cultivation.
As soon as she stepped inside, Lin Xue saw something emitting a green light.
This green light is not visible to the naked eye, but because Lin Xue is a cultivator, she can see qi that ordinary people cannot see.
Lin Xue held the colorful little bowl in her hand and waved it in front of the shopkeeper.
When the shop owner saw a customer arrive, he quickly took out his phone, typed in a string of numbers, and showed it to Lin Xue.
[2000]
Although the price is quite cheap, the shop owner probably doesn't know that what Lin Xue has is genuine.
【1000】
It was impossible not to bargain, so Lin Xue directly cut the price in half.
The boss shook his head when he saw the price.
Then the boss typed a string of numbers on his phone and showed it to Lin Xue.
【1800】
Lin Xue couldn't possibly indulge him; she just loved the feeling of haggling.
【900】
When Lin Xue offered this price, the boss panicked completely.
He had taken the small bowl from a child, and hadn't really taken it seriously.
He only spent 8 yuan at the time, mainly because the bowl looked nice.
The shop owner picked up his phone again, seemingly wanting to raise the price further.
Lin Xue typed a sentence directly on her phone and showed it to her boss.
I wouldn't even take a single cent of that 900+!
Upon seeing this message on Lin Xue's phone, the boss stomped his foot in anger.
Finally, reluctantly, he found a plastic bag and put the bowl in Lin Xue's hand into it.
Then he shoved a QR code in front of Lin Xue.
Judging from the boss's expression, you'd think he'd suffered a huge loss, but secretly he's probably overjoyed!
"Buzzing..."
As soon as Lin Xue scanned the QR code, the boss's phone vibrated.
He picked up his phone, glanced at it, and immediately beamed with joy.
His attitude towards Lin Xue was no longer as tense as before; instead, he looked at the young girl expectantly, hoping she would buy one or two more items.
[It's just 100 yuan, look how happy the shop owner is!]
Seeing her boss like this, Lin Xue felt quite amused.
It's only 1,000 yuan; it's really nothing to her now.
I got a great deal this time, and I already got half the price, so I won't ask the boss to deduct a hundred or two.
Lin Haotian and Lin An'an stood beside Lin Xue, watching curiously as she made her deal with the boss.
After leaving the stall, Lin Xue handed the bowl in her hand to Lin Haotian.
Then I typed a line on my phone.
【Emperor Qing's Enamel Thousand-Petal Lotus Bowl】
When Lin Haotian saw the words in Lin Xue's hand, his hand almost trembled so much that he dropped the bowl.
Fortunately, he had learned how to feign composure in his daily life, and his hands holding the bowl only shook slightly before returning to normal.
In the end, Lin Haotian didn't know what to say, so he just gave Lin Xue a thumbs up.
Lin An'an didn't understand the meaning of the sentence on Lin Xue's phone, but guessed that the bowl must be quite valuable.
After receiving their first item, Lin Xue not only carefully observed the items on the stall, but Lin Haotian also bought several more items hoping to find a bargain.
Throughout the entire walk, only the little girl Lin An'an showed absolutely no interest in anything here.
In her eyes, those old things were no different from junk.
Anyway, she didn't have the eye for antiques, so she just treated it as accompanying Lin Xue and the others shopping.
It's worth noting that Lin Haotian gives Lin Xue and Lin An'an the same amount of living expenses, and to compensate Lin An'an, he gives her even more privately.
The three older brothers would occasionally give their two younger sisters some pocket money, so Lin An'an had at least 10 million yuan in funds.
Despite being so wealthy, Lin An'an still maintains the fine virtue of thrift and frugality.
She usually doesn't spend money on her own initiative, and she never eats out. She goes home on time every day, either studying at school or staying at home.
The private trainers at home were all hired by Zhao Yue, and the money came from the family's accounts.
So this young girl, Lin An'an, really doesn't spend a single penny in a month.
