Chapter 765: Second-hand market

Xiao Peng said in the same way: "Actually, I have the same idea as you. I have always been busy to make money. I suddenly found a lot of annoying things. That's why I took this trip and wanted to do something I like. Make money. What is it for? Isn't it to make life better?"
Button laughed and said: "Your choice is correct! Do you not start enjoying life until my age? And it is certain that your trip is not bad for money. Once this motorcycle is sold, you can relax. Comfortable to play all the way!"
Xiao Peng listened to Barton's words, well, still don't tell him how much money he has.
Barton watched Xiao Peng silently and pointed forward: "Hey, here we are, take a look at the largest second-hand goods market in our county, where you can buy anything you want!"
Following Patton’s fingers, Xiao Peng saw a huge market. No wonder Patton said that everything can be bought here. The scale is really not small, almost the same as Panjiayuan in Kyoto.
There are really not many markets in Star-Tangled Country.
"Are you sure this is the second-hand goods market?" Xiao Peng looked at Button with a dazed expression.
Barton said: "Of course. Our entire county will trade here."
Xiao Peng looked at the trading market in front of him, uh, how it looked like it was a big agricultural market. The seller parked the car and set up a four-corner tent with a few small tables in it, and the items he wanted to trade on the table. This begins to set up a stall for business.
Button smiled and said: "Today happens to be the weekend, but the weekend market is the busiest."
Xiao Peng looked at the ‘most lively’ market silently, uh. There are not as many pedestrians on the road as any city in China, but this is not bad. Small towns in Star-Tangled Country are generally deserted. Apart from houses and cars, few people are seen, but you can see them in this market. With so many people, this is a rare lively scene.
Barton is also very proud: "This is the intersection of the four nearby towns, so everyone comes here to trade. It is the most lively place here."
Xiao Peng looked up at the sky. He really wanted to tell Barton that there were more people in China at any vegetable market than you. Just think about it and don't tell him the truth.
However, it can be seen that it is indeed the weekend. Some are out of families, and some couples are walking slowly. In short, it feels like never wasting good time on the weekend. There are also people who take their pets to go shopping, and often meet acquaintances. I always feel that everyone here does not mean shopping, but like passing the time. Well, it's almost the same as the Chinese old man dancing square dance.
Xiao Peng looked at the items for sale, er, didn't it mean that it was a second-hand market? It really sells everything here.
There are various types of chili peppers: round, long, red, green, uh, yellow, and they look very fresh; there is also a lady who sells homemade popsicles And ice cream? Xiao Peng was curious to buy one, let alone, it tastes really good; there are also fruit, organic food, and organic vegetables. Xiao Peng even saw a Japanese girl selling Japanese tea at a stall!
There are other kinds of things that can be found here: homemade bread, freshly brewed coffee, handmade soap, homemade honey, egg kimchi, pork sausage, organic vegetables, flower seedlings, cocoa coffee, snack honey, noodle bread, and even Xiao Peng I also saw a pony seller. . . . . . Xiao Peng glanced at it and felt that he had gone in the wrong place. what is this? Is it a farmers market?
Barton seemed to see Xiao Peng's puzzling smile and said: "The front here is mainly agricultural product trading. Let's go to the back, where is the second-hand trading market." Barton led the way on a motorcycle and greeted familiar people from time to time. Xiao Peng followed. Looking along the way, Xiao Peng suddenly understood what Patton said, why people here would not discriminate against blacks. Because there are no black people here at all! Xiao Peng could see the yellow race here, the Mexican descent, and the Indians also saw two, selling Indian jewelry there, but he didn’t see any black people.
Patton said that Arizona is a state with few blacks. It's really not funny. In such a rural place, blacks are rare.
Now in the Star-Spangled Nation, the number of minorities has almost caught up with the number of whites, but the minorities are still mainly concentrated in the cities, and there are not many blacks in small villages like this. So they don't care about race issues at all. The problems brought by black people have nothing to do with them.
After Patton came to the back of the market, Xiao Peng was sure that he had indeed come to the second-hand goods market. The first thing that came into my eyes was a pile of neatly hung second-hand clothes, with various second-hand shoes on the floor.
It’s strange to say that the Huaxia people have always had the virtues of diligence and thrift, but they naturally reject second-hand goods. Of course, antique coins are another matter. Moreover, the old things of Huaxia people would rather be given to relatives and friends than donated. , This traditional concept is carved in the bones.
On the contrary, in Stars and Stripes, which has always been suspected of extravagance and waste, the second-hand goods market is popular. They buy and donate. In the eyes of most Stars and Stripes, there is no distinction between buying brand new and second-hand goods, but different choices. , And there is no instinctive aversion to old things, and it is precisely because of this that there are special warehousing and Taobao talents in the Stars and Stripes, and there are such occupations as garbage treasure hunters.
Xiao Peng was full of curiosity and wandered around here. In addition to old clothes and shoes, there are a lot of second-hand goods sold here, such as old decorations, old books, coffee cups and coffee pots, old appliances, old furniture, Old cars, old farm tools, old pots and bowls, as long as they are marked with prices, they are all sold.
Xiao Peng was also regarded as interested. Anyway, the buyer hadn’t come, so he went shopping at will. After this shopping, Xiao Peng was completely opened his eyes. Only he could not think of it, and there was really nothing to be found here. He even Also saw the old-fashioned dial telephone! This is a rare thing that can only be seen on TV. I don't know if it can be used. It feels good to buy it back and put it at home. And the old-fashioned mechanical typewriter, it feels like a strange crackling when typing, is it a good souvenir at home?
Some people sell postcards, divided by star, stripe country, state, and country. There are at least tens of thousands. Xiao Peng admires the owner of this postcard. Can you think of selling this? Could this also be used for collection?
There are also piles of old black and white photos, various badges, old-fashioned cameras, old-fashioned records, old watches and old wall clocks. Xiao Peng even saw a large plastic "80,000" in a pile of debris! That's right, it was the 80,000 in Mahjong. Xiao Peng looked around for a while, but he didn't see any other cards, so his feelings were sold for 80,000. Xiao Peng was very curious about how much it could sell, and went up and asked, it turned out to be fifty cents. . . . . . . That's awesome!
Xiao Peng was still strolling there, and Button happily came over with two large watering cans: "Xiao, is there anything you want to buy? See if I found something good, a watering can made of tinplate, one for one dollar! It will be more convenient to take care of the flowers that Jane planted in the future."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I'll just take a look here. Actually, there is really nothing I want to buy... Hey? What is this?" Xiao Peng saw a vendor behind Patton selling a low cabinet there. The phonograph is still hand-cranked. There are several phonographs in this market, but this one is undoubtedly the most individual, because its shell is engraved with Russian and the Soviet hammer and sickle mark is painted.
The boss is a blond young man, which is rare in the flea market. The people doing business here are generally not young, but when the young man speaks, Xiao Peng will know that this is of Russian origin. Listen to his Russian style. English is fine. If people in the two countries in the world have the most difficulty in speaking English, the first is undoubtedly the island country, and the second, it must be Russia, because Russian pronunciation is completely different from English, that kind of feeling Just like you let a northeastern person learn Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialect, it is all kinds of tongue problems.
It's not easy for a Russian like Emilia to speak English so easily. This is also because she grew up here.
Seeing Xiao Peng's interest in phonographs, the young man explained enthusiastically, "Hey, my yellow-skinned brother, are you interested in this?"
Xiao Peng looked at it with interest. He was not so interested in the phonograph as he was interested in the hammer and sickle mark on it. It was not easy to see this mark in the Stars and Stripes. This is a non-mainstream in the star-stripe country. Seeing that Xiao Peng was interested in this mark, the young man hurriedly covered the cover of the phonograph. Xiao Peng was puzzled at first, but he took a look. The gramophone cover is impressively painted with the Soviet Union national emblem. Wheat, earth, hammer and sickle, uh. . . . . . Good positive energy!
But to be honest, with this small square cabinet phonograph covered with such a lid, Xiao Peng first thought of the urn, which is so special!
While Xiao Peng was still guessing which former Soviet leader’s gramophone should be, the young man took out a pizza box and opened it. It contained a record. On closer inspection, it turned out to be made of X-ray film. The young man enthusiastically introduced the'Skull Records', "These are all good things left by my grandfather. Trust me, they can still be used now." After finishing talking, he just took out one and put it in the phonograph. , Shook the handle on the side a few times ------ this is an old-fashioned hand-cranked phonograph.
After the young man finished the string, the old phonograph really turned, and inside was a man singing and country music.
This is amazing! Can you play music when you tighten the strings? Don't need electricity? It was the first time Xiao Peng saw this thing, and felt very incredible.
Such a record player is really rare in China, so buy one and install X back. . . . . . Oh no, it's appreciation, and it's quite interesting.
Xiao Peng was immediately full of interest
