Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 133, Acquisition of Antiques

As Wang Li and his wife were sorting and identifying antiques, Wang Li remembered that now was a good time to collect these things.

If we only rely on recycling stations to recycle waste items to collect antiques, it is still too passive and too slow.

Therefore, Wang Li would put on his previous outfit for visiting the ghost market every night, and fill the space with meat, food, gold bars and cash.

We set off towards the ghost market at the Bell and Drum Tower. The ghost market at this time was very different from before.

Because most people sold old items in the early days. Now there are many vendors who resell tickets and food in the ghost market.

Of course, there are also more small stalls selling antiques. Obviously, more people are having a hard time and have to sell items in their homes in exchange for money and food.

Now this place is simply Wang Li’s paradise.

Wang Li was seen holding a large travel bag in his hand, which was bulging and obviously contained a lot of things.

He started from one side of the ghost market, and whenever he found an item he liked, Wang Li would stop to negotiate the price with the vendors, and then buy or exchange it with them using cash or food in his travel bag.

After exchanging things with them, Wang Li would pretend to put the exchanged items in a travel bag, but in fact they had been put into his space.

After Wang Li walked for a distance, he would deliberately go into the small alley next to it and pretend to go to replenish supplies.

After a while, he returned to the ghost market with his heavy travel bag and continued to buy and exchange.

Antiques at this time are much cheaper than they were a year or so ago, although they are not as cheap as scrap collection stations that buy used items.

But compared to a year ago, it was like picking it up for free. Especially when Wang Li used grain to exchange, the vendors were even happier, after all, Wang Li not only had grain, but also meat.

You have to know that the people who have these antiques at home were all old bannermen or businessmen. They were used to living a relatively affluent life, but now they can't even get enough food. They are the first to be unable to bear it, and they are also the ones who need to use the precious items in their hands to exchange for food the most.

Therefore, Wang Li relied on the food in his hands to make his way through the ghost market. However, he did not exchange things at every stall, but instead used the darkness to exchange or buy with the stall owners at every stall.

This reduces the risk of others discovering his frequent trading.

It's the same reason. There are still two years left in the famine! He has enough time. Safety and stability come first. He must take things slow and steady.

In this way, Wang Li's collection increased dramatically every day, while the family's food reserves continued to decrease.

Soon the mother discovered the problem. After asking Wang Li the reason for the incident, she did not ask any more questions. After all, she knew that her son was a smart man and he would not do anything without confidence.

Moreover, the food they had stored in the early stage was indeed too much.

Even though Wang Li now exchanges antiques every night and uses the machines to shell or grind grain during the day, their family's grain supply is not noticeably short.

Therefore, the mother was not worried about the family's food and clothing problem. She just reminded Wang Li to be careful and not to be caught as a speculator.

After Wang Li made a promise to her, his mother stopped caring about these matters.

After all, Wang Li is married, and his wife Zheng Lan takes care of everything, and she trusts her daughter-in-law.

Zheng Lan knew that her husband went to the ghost market every night to buy or exchange antiques, and she did not object to her husband's behavior.

She was just worried about her husband's health since he had to go out for two or three hours every night.

She was worried that her husband's lack of sleep would affect his health, but she soon thought of his powerful martial arts and inhuman physical fitness, and she stopped worrying about him.

I just reminded my husband not to be too ostentatious, and then I spent my days sorting and identifying antiques with him.
