??Chapter 427 Street stall
??Elder Chu couldn't resist Xu Shiyan's request, and finally agreed to try it out.
??With Elder Chu's promise, Xu Shiyan felt confident.
?? "Master, I won't eat at your place at noon today. In time for the weekend, I have to go shopping and buy something."
??The weather is getting warmer, so it’s good to go out for a walk if you have nothing to do.
??Xu Shiyan is not very interested in parks and the like.
?? Those places are best to be with the wife. It’s quite interesting for the two of them to walk and chat while watching Jing’er.
??He is alone, what is he doing in the park? Look at other young couples who are loving and sweet? Isn't that nonsense?
??The weather is getting warmer, Xu Shiyan doesn't bring much clothes, so he has to buy some clothes, shoes and socks.
?? I inquired with someone, and they said that there are several large markets on Guangfu Road, where clothes are sold, and they are cheap.
?? Men don’t care so much, as long as they can wear them, so Xu Shiyan drove straight to Guangfu Road.
??At the end of Guangfu Road, there is a relatively famous place, Xiaobailou, which is the palace of Emperor Kant.
??So Guangfu Road Market was very famous during the Puppet Manchukuo period.
??The open-air market here is very lively. There are all kinds of goods, and the dazzling array is dizzying.
??Xu Shiyan is not in a hurry, he just strolls around casually, walk around and have a look, buy something that suits his heart, and forget it if he doesn’t.
?? There are also a lot of snacks on the street. When you are hungry, you can find a place to sit down and eat a bowl of noodles.
??Xu Shiyan was eating noodles, when he looked up occasionally, he happened to see a person passing by with a pot of Clivia in his arms.
??Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, why did he feel that the figure was so familiar? It seems to be Wu Jinsheng, the younger brother of the fourth daughter-in-law's family?
?? No, Daying is so far away from the provincial capital, how could Wu Jinsheng be here?
?? But the figure looked more and more like it, Xu Shiyan quickly pulled the bowl into his mouth, paid the boss, and was about to catch up and take a closer look.
?? In the end, it was time to pay, and when I turned my head again, the man disappeared.
??Xu Shiyan wandered around looking for it, but couldn't find it.
??The main reason is that there are too many people here, and there is a constant flow of people coming and going. It is really too difficult to find someone in the crowd.
??Xu Shiyan wandered around, but didn't see the figure just now, so he could only give up.
?? "Forget it, maybe I was dazzled just now, and I misread it." Xu Shiyan shook his head, comforting himself like this.
?? "Brother, come, take a look at these things, they are all old things."
??Xu Shiyan was standing on the corner of the street, and there happened to be a young man setting up a stall there.
??The young man saw Xu Shiyan standing there looking around, thinking he was going to buy something, so he greeted him.
??Xu Shiyan turned his head to look at the stall, and was stunned for a moment, what are these?
?? Oddly shaped and black?
??Many things are black with mud on them, and they can't even see their original appearance.
?? "Brother, what are you selling here? You can't see the true colors when you look at this dark one."
??Since there was nothing else to do, Xu Shiyan started chatting with the young man.
?? "Brother, don't you understand this? Old things, can they not be dusted after a long time?
?? Oh, to tell you the truth, isn't this cleaning the house at home? Just dug out these things.
??I don’t know much about them either, so my grandma kept nagging, saying they were all old things, so keep them.
??I thought it was taking up space, so I thought about setting up a stall here.
?? Anyway, it will only be placed for a few days, and no one will pull it down.
??Brother, take a look, if there is something you like, take it, it's not expensive anyway. "
??The young man didn't know if what he said was true or not, but he looked quite sincere.
?? After thinking about it, Xu Shiyan thought that he had already bought everything he needed to buy, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he might as well just take a look.
??So I stood in front of the stall, picked up everything and took a look.
They are indeed old things from the past, such as old-fashioned tin wine jugs, pharmacy scales, old-fashioned irons, locks on old-fashioned wooden boxes, old bamboo-carved pen holders, powder boxes, weights, glass lamp holders, lantern.
??Anyway, there are all kinds of old and young things, some Xu Shiyan can recognize, and some can't.
??Xu Shiyan looked around, but there was nothing he could see.
??How to say these things, keeping them for later generations is also more commemorative, and the collection value is not high.
?? "Your things are really not easy to sell, I guess they might as well be sold to the buying station.
?? There are a lot of copper, iron, and tin, which may be worth a few dollars. "
??In these years, the price of recycling various metals is not low, especially copper and tin, which are not cheap.
??When Xu Shiyan was talking, his hand happened to touch a black bone that looked like a weight.
??He picked it up and weighed it casually, and just wanted to say that this thing should be made of copper, it is quite heavy, and it might sell for some money.
?? As a result, after a closer look, it seems wrong. This is not a weight, but a seal.
??Xu Shiyan was startled, if this is a seal, it might be interesting.
??Xu Shiyan didn't dare to show any expression, he just put down the thing casually, and went to look at other things.
??There is a round ring at the end, look, it is a little smaller than that kind of door knocker, and it is slightly oval.
?? I don’t know what it is, but it’s black anyway, with a layer of sludge-like substance on the outside, so that the true color cannot be seen.
?? "What is this, do you know?"
??Xu Shiyan picked up the ring and felt that it was heavy on the top. He didn't know what material it was, so he just asked casually anyway.
?? "I don't know, it's all kept by my grandma, she is so confused now, she doesn't know anything when she asks, so she just says she keeps it.
??What can you do with these crap? "The young man shook his head and asked three questions.
?? "Yeah, I've been lingering with you for a long time, picking and looking at things, which is a waste of your time.
?? Don’t just look at it but don’t buy it, let’s do it, don’t worry about anything, I’ll pick two, even if we buddies have this destiny. "
??Xu Shiyan seemingly inadvertently pulled the ring and the weight-like thing together.
?? "How much are these two? If it's cheap, I'll take it."
??The young man glanced at it, "Come on, these two, give me eight yuan.
??That thing seems to be made of copper. If I sell it to a junk collector, I think it can give me three or four dollars. "
?? The young man gritted his teeth and was cruel, asking for eight yuan.
??To be honest, these things, except for the metal ones that can be sold as scraps, are useless at all, and they don’t want to give them for free.
?? That piece of copper lump was sold to the junk collector for at most two yuan, and the ring was worthless in the eyes of the young man, so it was not bad to sell it together for eight yuan.
?? "Eight yuan is a bit expensive, so how about this, you can give me something else.
??I think this small box is pretty good, I go back and wash it and clean it up, so I can coax my daughter. "
??Xu Shiyan casually picked up a small wooden box.
??There is a small lock on the wooden box, which looks very delicate, so let’s keep it for my daughter.
?? "Come on, you can just take that box, and just give me eight yuan for these three pieces." The young man was quite happy, and he happily agreed.
??Xu Shiyan took out the money, counted eight yuan and handed it to the other party, then put these three things in his pocket, turned and left.
