    Because this market is usually a market where goods of unknown origin (or obtained through illegal means) are traded in an open field at night or in the morning before dawn.  And such transactions are often carried out in the dark, over time, and come and go. People who love nicknames give this market a vivid name "ghost market".  Later, "ghost market" became a synonym for the antique market.  Due to well-known reasons, the "ghost market" disappeared from the 1950s to the mid-1980s.  It was not until the late 1980s that ghost markets "resurrected" in the Magic City and the capital Panjiayuan. Today, ghost markets only exist in a few big cities.  However, the difference from the old society is that most of the antique ¡°ghost markets¡± in the old days sold second-hand goods, while in today¡¯s antique ¡°ghost markets¡± most of the antique counterfeiters sell new goods.  But even so, the proportion of genuine goods in the ghost market is still higher than that in the usual market. The key is that the price is cheap. The same thing may be half cheaper than in the store.  In fact, the ghost market is not unfamiliar to Chu Chen. As for Panjiayuan, there is also a ghost market every weekend. He himself often goes to pick up stalls early, let alone Zhou Wenping on the side. Therefore, there is a ghost market in Panjiayuan.  He still knows the secrets.  Like now, although there are real things in the ghost market, he has never seen important items a few times, and the prices are not cheap. There are even unscrupulous merchants who take advantage of the darkness to sell some shameful fakes, doing it in the dark, and the customers are very  It's easy to hit the eye.  Therefore, without a sharp eye, it is not advisable to go to the ghost market based on the old sayings.  Of course, it is very common for vendors not to recognize the treasures and sell them as garbage, so some players still enjoy visiting the ghost market.  Hou Yuanming smiled and said: "You must know the ghost market, Xiao Chu. I have been to the ghost market in the capital, but the proportion of genuine products is not as high as that of Baxian Temple. Tomorrow happens to be Sunday. Do you want to go shopping?"  The proportion of genuine items in Baxian'an Antique Market is indeed higher than that in Panjiayuan. Chu Chen found this to be true after observing this morning.  However, this is also because Panjiayuan¡¯s base is large, and if it is spread out, the proportion of genuine products will of course be smaller. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A small base number has the advantage of requiring less energy, and this is suitable for the use of super powers. Besides, it is not easy to come to Xijing, and I am in the antique business, so of course I can¡¯t miss the ghost market.  So Chu Chen happily agreed: "It's a rare visit to Xijing. Of course I can't miss the ghost market. But I don't know much about the ghost market here. When is the best time for us to go?" Hou Yuanming thought for a while and replied: "  It's summer now, shall we set off at four o'clock?" "Okay, Xiaolan, are you going tomorrow? If you go, you can't sleep in!" Chu Chen asked the others again.  By this time, Chu Yulan and the others had already learned about the situation in the ghost market from Zhou Wenping, and their curiosity suddenly increased, and they all agreed to go together.  At this time, Chu Yulan asked: "Brother Chu, who was that Brother Zhao on your phone just now?" This question made Chu Chen slightly stunned. It was strange that she would ask this question. This was somewhat outrageous.  He wanted to show off, but there was nothing he couldn't say, so he replied a little strangely: "Oh, that's Mr. Zhao Qirui, the boss of Huite Trading, Xiaolan, why did you think of asking about this?" "Oh, I  The voice sounds familiar, it's my uncle," Chu Yulan said with a hint of surprise.  "What, the boss of Whit Trading turns out to be Xiaolan's uncle?" Li Guodong said in surprise. He had also known that Chu Yulan's background should be very good, but he didn't expect it to be so good. He had heard of it by chance before.  Zhao Qirui's father was a founding general with a very prominent status. Unexpectedly, he was Chu Yulan's grandfather.  "What, is Mr. Zhao very powerful?" Seeing this, Hou Yuanming asked in surprise.  Li Guodong explained: "Mr. Zhao is originally a billionaire, and his family background is extremely prominent." Li Guodong did not tell everything when he arrived, but even so, Hou Yuanming almost understood that his mother's family had such a family background, and that his family had such a family background.  It's definitely not that bad, maybe it's also a red family.  When Hou Yuanming thought of this, he looked at Chu Yulan with a hint of awe in his eyes. He had also worked in the system before and knew that as long as this kind of red family still has a leader, its power is not small, and no matter what happens,  , a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.  Chu Yulan smiled slightly and said: "My family is my family and I am me. Please don't look at me with colored glasses. Brother Chu, can you tell me how you met my uncle? I really  I'm a little curious, my uncle doesn't know how toIt is easy for others to call him brother.  " When Chu Chen heard that Zhao Qirui was Chu Yulan's uncle, he was also very surprised. He didn't expect that the world is so small, and his uncle and niece would get to know him one after another. Now that he thinks about it, he could easily solve that problem at the train station.  It¡¯s not surprising, so he briefly told how he got to know Zhao Qirui, and at the end he smiled and said: ¡°Xiaolan, I didn¡¯t expect that we are really destined!  " Chu Yulan smiled and nodded in agreement, thinking to herself, it is indeed very fateful, and it is too fateful, but why does her uncle behave like this? Could it be that she guessed wrong? This should not be possible! Forget it, too much  It¡¯s useless to think about it, just take it one step at a time. ¡°Oh, I thought of something very interesting. Brother Chu, you call Xiaolan¡¯s uncle Zhao, and Xiaolan calls you Brother Chu. Your relationship is really messy!  "Wen Yuting laughed on the side. Everyone laughed when they thought it was true. When Chu Chen saw this, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Let's do our own thing, okay? Let's forget it.  I want to call Mr. Zhao uncle, but he won¡¯t agree!  "Brother Chu, when you see my uncle next time, tell him, maybe he will actually let you call him uncle?"  "When Chu Yulan joked, there was a sly light in her eyes. "Then forget it, I don't dare.  Chu Chen laughed. Next, everyone started chatting all over the place, and then when the time was almost up, Hou Yuanming drove them to the famous restaurant in Xijing for dinner.  Steamed pork with leaf powder, etc., each dish is made with great care and attention to detail. It not only looks good, tastes better, but also has rich connotations. It fully reflects the elegant side of Shaanxi cuisine. After having a full meal, everyone returned to the hotel.  In Chu Chen's room, everyone admired the glass emerald for a while, and then went back to their respective rooms to rest. When the two girls went back, they both had expressions of reluctance to part with such jade.  I don¡¯t know when I can see you again. ************************************ It¡¯s just after three o¡¯clock, Chu.  Chen got up. He had made an appointment with Hou Yuanming yesterday to take the jade to the safe in his store. Maybe because he had given the jade, there was no loss at all when absorbing the power, and the progress was accumulated.  Normally, it was a small surprise for him. When they returned to the hotel, Li Guodong and the others also got up one after another. Zhou Wenping was in good spirits due to years of habit, maybe because they went shopping for antiques yesterday.  Street, they were more excited in the afternoon, and now they all look sleepy. "I said you can cheer up and go to the ghost market later. Don't buy anything in the dark. Don't take medicine.  " Chu Chen made a joke when he saw this. "But it is indeed the case. I was always in the dark, and my eyesight has been compromised to a certain extent. In this state, if I go to get something, I can't justify not taking medicine. The so-called taking medicine  , that is, the eye-punching mentioned before, can also be said to be the eye drops. Wen Yuting said with her eyes blurred: "It's okay, Brother Chu, don't worry, I will definitely wake up when we get there."  " As soon as the words fell, the other two people nodded again and again. Seeing this, Chu Chen and the others could only shake their heads. When they arrived at the Baxian'an Antique City, the scene in front of them immediately made Chu Yulan and the others a little dumbfounded. The Eight Immortals  The nunnery is still the Eight Immortals nunnery, but there are many small stalls placed in order on both sides of the street. There is usually a small dim electric light hanging on the stalls. At this time, there are already many players in front of the stalls, and they are using flashlights.  , observing, asking prices, and trading in front of the stalls of their favorite items. The whole scene was just like a normal market, very lively. Wen Yuting said blankly: "Is this a ghost market?  Why don't you feel a little bit sneaky?  Chu Chen chuckled softly: "This is a ghost market. Do you think it is really like the ghost street described in the movie?"  After all, this is the new century, and everything must be regulated.  But you should remember not to make too much noise here, so as not to cause other people's displeasure.  " However, Li Guodong became excited when he saw this scene. He had gained nothing in the past two days. Taking this opportunity, he very much hoped to get a good treasure, so he rubbed his hands and said: "Let's go, let's go  Go in and take a look, there is a way to go if you are quick, but not if you are slow.  " Chu Chen quickly stopped him: "Brother Li, calm down. Look at the people around you who are as impatient as you. It doesn't matter whether you can get good things or not. Even if you get good things, you have to take care of them.  If you don't kill me, who will you kill?  Let's go, let's not separate together. This is the place where we are most likely to encounter trouble.??'s.  " The first place they visited was a stall selling ancient jade. It looked pretty good at first glance. However, Chu Chen took a quick look and pulled everyone up. Then he asked them in a low voice as he walked: "You guys  Did you smell something just now?  "
