Chapter 82 Special Street
Taocheng is an ordinary third-tier small city. It has no famous tourist attractions, no particularly popular local products, and no well-known large companies have settled in. Its slow development has made many local people despair about demolition.
Fortunately, Taocheng is located between the three cities of Yichuan, Huangzhou, and Lanyang. It is a transportation link. It is connected to all directions without dragging down too much. At least, Taocheng can enjoy the convenience that other cities can enjoy.
No shortage.
Driving straight to the city, Chen Hao did not go to see his brother first, but drove towards the southern district of Taocheng.
As a Taocheng native, Chen Hao's understanding of Taocheng is second only to Tongkou Town.
In Taocheng South District, there is a relatively well-known place, which is Antique Street, which locals call Ghost Street.
The so-called ghost street does not really have ghosts, but it is a place for selling items. When Taocheng was still a small town, this ghost street existed. From all directions, antiques and famous items were obtained by various means.
, will gather here at a few specific times every year, and then trade out.
Although the government has severely suppressed this area in recent years, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. On the surface, the ghost street has changed from good to normal and turned into a normal antique street. However, the ledger transactions have turned into a more secretive one.
Underground, it is becoming more and more entrenched. This is a behavior driven by huge interests, and it cannot be changed by one or two policies and rectification.
Chen Hao has no interest in antiques, but he wants to play with magical artifacts, and this is the best place, because only here can he find ancient and precious artifacts.
Following the familiar road, Chen Hao soon arrived at the antique street.
Ghost Street was the most lively neighborhood in Taocheng back then, occupying a large area. With the development of Taocheng in recent years, it has become more and more lively. Not only are there antique shops, but the two adjacent streets have also become food streets, hotel streets, and various other streets.
The facilities are perfect, catching up with big cities. It can be said that because of the existence of ghost streets, South District has become an important source of Taocheng's GDP.
After parking the car, Chen Hao took the black cat and the rooster and slowly walked into the ghost street.
The street is spacious and lined with shops, 99% of which are antique shops.
But Chen Hao didn't even look at it. He walked a few hundred meters inside and came to a small neighborhood with narrow streets and quaint shops.
This is the real core of Ghost Street.
Regardless of the size of the store outside and the beautiful design, when it comes to value, the two stores outside may not be able to replace the small store inside. This is not only a matter of location, but also needs to be recognized, otherwise even if you have money, you will not be able to buy it.
There is no way to enter the circle of this small neighborhood.
The small streets are more lively, with people coming and going.
Chen Hao looked around and found a store with fewer customers and walked in.
A young man in a Tang suit hurriedly came over to greet me and asked with a smile: "Hey boss, hello, is there anything I need to see?"
Chen Hao looked around a few times.
In the middle of the wall hangs a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain. The mountains are majestic, the tiger is as fierce as the wind, its teeth are showing and its claws are dancing, which is extraordinary.
Chen Hao didn't understand antiques, but at the moment of Yin Yang, he found that the picture of the tiger descending the mountain had an aura that was vigorous and restrained, with a heavy feeling of historical accumulation.
Obviously, this picture is genuine, but Chen Hao doesn't know which painting master painted it, and what era it is from.
On both sides of the picture of the tiger descending the mountain, there are two quaint bookshelves, with porcelain, bronzes, and some ancient books on them. They all have the same heavy atmosphere.
Suddenly, Chen Hao fixed his gaze and looked at a bowl-mouthed three-legged golden toad covered by dust on a shelf.
The young man in Tang suit took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "Boss, these golden cicadas are not for sale in our store. If you like this type, I can bring you a few. I guarantee that they are all genuine and not fake.
Pay ten for one.”
Chen Hao smiled: "No, I'm not here to buy a golden cicada, and I can't afford this golden cicada either."
The young man in Tang suit suddenly looked sideways and looked at Chen Hao suspiciously.
He is young, dressed in ordinary clothes, not as elegant as everyone else, and is obviously not from a wealthy family, but he can still see that Jin Chan is extraordinary?
"Boss, what do you want to buy?" the young man in Tang suit asked.
Chen Haodao: "I want peach wood swords, copper coin swords, jade talismans, eight trigrams, statues of gods and the like."
Young man in Tang suit: "..."
Are you here to cause trouble? This is an antique store, not a Taoist temple. You are in the wrong place.
Just as the young man in Tang suit was about to speak, a voice came out of thin air: "What does your distinguished guest want these for?"
Chen Hao looked over and saw that the person speaking was a middle-aged man with a flat head, square face, glasses, and also wearing a Tang suit. He looked quite dignified.
Chen Hao smiled and said, "It's funny. I've been watching a lot of Lin Dada's ghost movies recently, and I'm very curious about the magic weapons in them, so I came to ask. If your store doesn't have them, forget it."
The middle-aged man with a flat head took a deep look at Chen Hao and said: "When we open the door for business, there is no way to drive the customers away. If the distinguished guests want these magic tools, it is not impossible that they are not available, but the price is not cheap."
Chen Haodao: "As long as the goods are available, money is not an issue."
The middle-aged man with a flat head said: "Okay, I'll go get it. Your distinguished guest will wait a moment."
After the flat-headed middle-aged man left, the young man in Tang suit realized what he was doing and quickly invited Chen Hao to sit down and served him tea.
Chen Hao was not polite. He sat down and waved. The eyes of the black cat and the rooster lit up. However, the black cat moved faster and jumped directly into Chen Hao's arms. The rooster looked at it with envy and jealousy.
Chen Hao naturally hugged the black cat and looked at the layout of the store while stroking it.
After discovering the three-legged golden toad, Chen Hao saw the different layout in the store, such as the red threads throughout the store and the copper coins on the red threads.
These things, together with the three-legged golden toad, form a whole, brewing a special aura.
From the air flow dynamics observed with his yin and yang eyes, he saw that this was a Feng Shui bureau, a bit like the Golden Toad Tuntian he had searched online before.
However, the Qi of this Feng Shui bureau seemed not strong enough, and Chen Hao could not understand the mystery.
Not long after, the middle-aged man with a flat head turned around, holding many things.
Chen Hao glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and showed a half-smile expression at the corner of his mouth.
When the middle-aged man with a flat head put down the things in front of Chen Hao, Chen Hao stepped forward to watch.
There are many things, including peach wood swords, copper coin swords, jade carvings of Bagua, wood carvings of gods, copper bells, jade Buddhas, and jade Guanyin. There are many kinds, and some even have five or six pieces.
However, most of these things have a bright appearance, and they look like they were recently made.
Chen Hao was observing things, while the middle-aged man with a crew cut was observing Chen Hao. Only the young man in Tang suit had a confused expression on his face, as if he had no idea that these things existed in his store.
Chen Hao's eyes swept over various things, and he couldn't help but admire them in his heart.
Sure enough, good things have to be found in the right place.
Although only two or three of these things are real magic weapons, every one of them is genuine. It's just that the new ones don't have the effect of magic weapons.
