Day 67 of being eavesdropped
The ghost market at the East Gate opens at 3 or 4 in the morning.
Gu Jinshui and Shanhu have recently collected a lot of things nearby, mainly ancient coins, such as Kaiyuan Tongbao coins. Xi'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, called Chang'an, so there are many ancient tombs and treasures in this place.
Even in the countryside, many families have collected some antiques, such as pottery bowls and pottery jars.
Gu Jinshui felt that it was difficult to sell things like pottery bowls and pottery jars, and he was afraid of losing them. Ancient coins were much easier. He put a lot of them in his bag and wrapped them with some newspapers. Nothing would happen if he waited. It
was still dark that day.
Gu Jinshui pushed Shanhu, and the two of them hurriedly ate some biscuits and went out.
The ghost market is located at the east gate. It is dark when you get there. There are stalls on both sides. Gu Jinshui has been there several times, so he is familiar with the place. He walked around the vendors selling food and food coupons on the carpets in front and went to the back.
The vendors in the back sell antiques.
Gu Jinshui had his eyes on a stall yesterday. The stall specializes in selling ancient coins and porcelain. Gu Jinshui saw that the stall had a lot of ancient coins and planned to buy a few sets of the Great Five Emperors. The Great Five Emperors can ward off evil spirits. As long as they are authentic, there will be no problem finding sellers.
As soon as he walked to the stall, Shanhu pulled his sleeve and pointed to the stall behind him, "Brother, isn't that He Fei?"
Gu Jinshui looked back and was amused.
He said, "It's him. This is strange. How did he catch up with Song Jianshi and the others?"
Gu Jinshui and Shanhu looked over and saw a few people gathered outside the stall. Among them were He Fei and Song Jianshi and the others.
He Fei's forehead was bulging with veins. He pointed at a tiger-shaped pillow on the ground and said to Song Jianshe, "Brother, don't be so rude. I saw this thing first. Why are you trying to snatch it from me?"
Song Jianshe didn't look embarrassed at all.
It was cold in the early morning. He put his hands in his pockets and a puff of white smoke came out of his mouth. He said, "Hey, you say you like it, and I said I liked it yesterday. Besides, you didn't even pay for it, so is it your turn to be bossy?"
"You are being unreasonable, aren't you?"
He Fei, the little fat man, was so angry that his face was shaking.
Liang Renyi smiled and said, "I'm not being unreasonable. Aren't we talking properly? We can give you this thing, but you have to give us all the things from Lao Cai."
"Impossible!"
He Fei's face darkened immediately.
He was wondering why this group of people were interested in something from Cizhou Kiln, and it seemed that they were going for Lao Cai's things.
He Fei was furious, pointing at Song Jianshe and the others and said, "Okay, you are here to bully me, right?"
"Young man, there is nothing we can do if you think so."
Guo Pu was dressed very formally, wearing a dog-head hat on his head. He glanced at the tiger-shaped pillow and said, "This thing is sold all the time, it's a rare good thing, we want it too, boss, how much is it?"
"Hey, you..."
He Fei was very angry, and even in the dark he could see that his fat face was flushed.
Gu Jinshui looked at him, then at Song Jianshe and the others, touched his chin and raised his eyebrows, pulled Shanhu out and whispered a few words to Shanhu.
Shanhu immediately nodded in agreement and said loudly, "Brother Jinshui, go ahead and buy it, I'll watch these people."
Jinshui?
Hearing the name, Song Jianshe reacted as fast as a cat whose tail was stepped on.
He pushed through the crowd and saw Gu Jinshui squatting in front of the stall opposite him. He picked up a colorful jar and played with it for a while. Then he said to the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this thing?"
The stall owner recognized that he had been here yesterday. When he saw him pick up the jar, he was stunned for a moment. He thought that this guy was looking at ancient coins yesterday, so why did he pick up the jar now? Who would be stingy with money when doing business?
The stall owner's eyes rolled and he made a six gesture with his hand.
"Sixty, okay, I..."
Before Gu Jinshui finished speaking, Song Jianshe came over to interrupt him, "I'll pay seventy for this thing!"
Not only did he come over himself, he also pulled Guo Pu and others over.
Guo Pu was not happy at first, but when he saw the colorful Pegasus lid jar in Gu Jinshui's hand, his eyes almost popped out, "This, this..."
He almost told the origin of this thing, but Song Jianshe pinched him, and Guo Pu swallowed his words.
Guo Pu looked at Song Jianshe, "You can buy this thing, and you can also use it as a decoration when you go back."
Guo Pu and Song Jianshe had discussed before that whenever they saw something that could open the door, they would say that they could buy it and use it as a decoration.
Song Jianshe had some concerns just now, but when he heard what Guo Pu said, he immediately felt relieved. In the past few days, they relied on Guo Pu to pick up bargains in Xi'an and picked up a lot of good things. Although they did not make much, it was a good start.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? What's the matter?"
Gu Jinshui showed an angry look and squinted at Song Jianshe, "Song Jianshe, you insist on snatching from me, aren't you afraid that I will cheat you again?"
Song Jianshe sneered, raised his chin and looked at Gu Jinshui with disdain, "Gu Jinshui, do you think you can scare me away by saying that? Let me tell you, we have capable people here, with Master Guo, how can we be cheated by you?"
He Fei was wondering why Song Jianshe and the others left suddenly. After he bought the tiger-shaped pillow, he came over and saw, what a coincidence, it was an acquaintance, and this acquaintance seemed to be on bad terms with his enemy.
With the mentality that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, He Fei squeezed to the side of Gu Jinshui. He first took a look at the colorful Pegasus lidded jar. After just one glance, he was amazed by the flourishing and delicate patterns and dazzling colors.
This is a rare good thing. It is more than enough to be kept in the antique shop as a treasure of the town.
He Fei was just glad that the group of people left, but now his heart was bleeding.
He looked at Gu Jinshui and whispered, "Brother, you have a good eye, but your friend is a little too loud. Such a good thing should be bought quietly and celebrate after it lands safely!"
Gu Jinshui smiled bitterly.
He said, "Don't mention it. It's my bad luck to run into this group of people."
He turned around and gestured to the boss, "Okay, let's be straightforward. How about a hundred?"
"Why, one hundred? One hundred is too low, isn't it?"
Although the boss was wearing homespun clothes and looked like a farmer, he was not simple at all.
He leaned back in his chair and smiled, showing his yellow teeth, "Little brother, you can see that this is a good thing. You are giving me a hundred for this good thing. You'd better stay away from it."
What the hell is this thing.
Gu Jinshui cursed in his heart.
This boss is really good at climbing up the ladder. He borrowed his things to help He Fei. He really became rich.
"That's right, Jinshui, you should stay away from it. Who are you going to give this one hundred yuan to? We will give two hundred. Boss, if you nod, we will settle the money and goods for two hundred yuan."
Song Jianshe said hurriedly.
Guo Pu didn't say anything, his eyes were almost glued to the jar lid. The stall was pitch black, but the pattern on the jar lid looked even softer in the moonlight, like a fairy in heavenly clothes.
"Two hundred, Song Jianshe, are you really trying to make things difficult for me?"
Gu Jinshui gritted his teeth and said, "Three hundred, and I'll buy all the ancient coins on this stall, fifty yuan is enough, right?"
It was certainly worth it to buy so many ancient coins for fifty yuan, as ancient coins were cheap now. There were both real and fake ancient coins on this stall, but generally speaking, there were more real ones, after all, such cheap goods were not worth counterfeiting.
"I'll pay 400!" Liang Renyi said to Gu Jinshui with a smile, "Gu Jinshui, if you don't have money, don't argue, just settle it as soon as possible."
"Liang Renyi, you are still my brother-in-law, you are cheating your own people?"
Gu Jinshui showed a hurt expression.
He Fei whispered: "Brother Gu, if you are short of money, I still have 200 here, I will lend it to you."
Gu Jinshui was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to speak, Song Jianshe over there obviously heard what they said, and immediately said: "We will pay 500, pay now."
The boss was so happy that his teeth were exposed, and he didn't sit on the chair, rubbing his hands and looking at Gu Jinshui, "Well, young man, can you offer a higher price?"
Gu Jinshui was silent for a moment and put down the lid of the jar.
Song Jianshe couldn't wait to pay. The boss took the money and handed the jar to Song Jianshe, then asked Gu Jinshui, "You can't buy the jar. Do you want these coins? I'll give you 40."
"Yes, Gu Jinshui, you can't eat the big end, you can eat the small end."
Song Jianshe was so proud now. He held the jar and showed off to Gu Jinshui with a smile.
Gu Jinshui said, "Yes, why not? I'll take all if you save ten yuan."
The boss gritted his teeth and actually agreed. He wrapped the coins on the stall with a cloth and stuffed them all to Gu Jinshui. He piled the remaining porcelain on the wheelbarrow and pushed it away.
He Fei watched him leave, and then looked at Song Jianshe and the other two who left happily. His face was more embarrassed than Gu Jinshui. "What are you looking at? Do you
