"Panjiayuan? Isn't that a place for antiques?" Xu Dong asked curiously. Reading

In recent months, he has read several online novels on treasure appraisal. Panjiayuan is well-known and a genuine Taobao holy land.

Wang Xiujuan put down her chopsticks and explained: "Yes, antiques were indeed sold there before, but who would want to buy that stuff now? It's almost become a real flea market."

"Flea market?" Xu Ma asked in confusion: "Where can I buy meat?"

"It can't be said to be bought, it should be said to be exchanged.

Nowadays, many scarce goods cannot be bought with money, but can only be exchanged with scarce goods.

Panjiayuan is like a hodgepodge, with everything in it, but whether you can get it depends on means and luck."

Wang Xiujuan analyzed.

"Old Wang, how did you know? Have you bought meat there?" Xu Ma asked.

Wang Xiujuan shook her head:

"No, I'm an old woman, I don't dare to go there alone, I heard it from Lao Zhou from our dance troupe.

Her daughter lives in Panjiayuan, her son-in-law exchanged a pack of cigarettes for a pound of pork, and specially gave Lao Zhou and his wife half a pound."

"Hubby, why don't we take some time to go and have a look?"

Yang Lina was very excited to hear this, no matter whether it was true or not, there was no loss in going to have a look.

Xu Dong nodded, thinking that this was very reliable, anyway, Panjiayuan was not far from his home, at most half an hour's drive.

"Okay, wait for me to get off work tomorrow, and we'll go together."

Beside her, Wang Xiujuan asked:

"Xiao Xu, if you really come across meat, can you help Auntie bring some too.

Zheng Yan and the others haven't eaten meat for many days, adults don't care, the key is that the two children are still young, and they can't lack nutrition..."

"Auntie Wang, I understand, don't worry, if I can buy meat, I will definitely leave a portion for you." Xu Dong agreed.

"That's great. Auntie thanks you here first."

"Old Wang, why are you thanking me again? Didn't we just make an appointment this afternoon?" Aunt Xu pretended to be angry.

Wang Xiujuan quickly patted her forehead and said "self-blame": "Oh, look at my memory, I will punish myself with three cups."

"Tons, tons, tons..."

Of course, I drank soy milk.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

After work, Xu Dong came home, loaded a box of cigarettes and seven or eight boxes of expired Telunsu into the car, and then drove his wife to Panjiayuan.

If the trip goes well, then the expired products at home will have a market. Whether they make money or not is secondary. The key is that he can't stand waste.

When they arrived at Panjiayuan, the first thing the couple did after getting off the car was to consciously put on masks.

The air quality in Yanjing has always been not very good, especially since this year, the sandstorms have become more and more frequent, which is even worse.

In addition, wearing a mask is also a way to prevent trouble before it happens. After all, Panjiayuan is a place where all kinds of people are mixed.

Xu Dong has never been to Panjiayuan and doesn't know what it was like before, but it is indeed very lively now, with crowds of people everywhere.

Shouting, bargaining, horns...

One after another!

Everything looks messy, but there is order in the chaos, very similar to a vegetable market.

"Honey, how do we get there?" Yang Lina asked blankly.

The entire Panjiayuan covers an area of ​​about 50,000 square meters, with a total of more than 3,000 shops and stalls. No wonder Yang Lina didn't know where to start.

"Let's go to the store area first. I heard that there are often good things there." Xu Dong suggested.

At work today, he specifically asked his colleagues about Panjiayuan. Unexpectedly, many people have been there, and Section Chief Li is a frequent visitor. The other party also shared a lot of experience with him.

"Okay, listen to you." Yang Lina said simply.

The store area is next to the parking lot. Xu Dong and his wife walked there in less than five minutes.

There are two types of stores here. One is a street-side store with a single door and a single household; the other is a temporary converted shopping mall model, with fences separating the stores.

The first place the two visited was the "mall", which sold everything, but mainly home appliances, clothing and consumer electronic products.

Most of them were second-hand goods.

It is worth mentioning that there are more than a dozen pawnshops in the "mall", and four or five gold shops specializing in recycling precious gold, and each of them is extremely popular.

However, these are not what Xu Dong and his friends need. The two of them walked around and left. The next focus is the shops along the street.

Soon, a shop specializing in Western-style pastries caught the attention of the couple.

After all, this was the first time they saw a business selling food, especially when they smelled the fragrance, their appetite was aroused at once.

Xu Dong protected his wife and squeezed in. The store was crowded outside, but the store was spacious inside. Everyone consciously did not cross the threshold of the door.

"Hello, is your puff 20 yuan per piece or 20 yuan per pound?"

Although she knew it was most likely the former, Yang Lina still asked with a fluke mentality.

The waiter looked up at the person asking the question and saw that the other party was dressed very ordinary and did not look like a rich person, so he perfunctorily said:

"We only exchange here and do not sell. There is a bakery in front. You can go there and take a look. They normally accept cash."

Yang Lina was stunned for a moment. What kind of words are these? There are also people who actively drive customers away. This is the first time she has encountered such a situation.

"What do you want to exchange?" Xu Dong asked with a frown.

The waiter stared at Xu Dong and found that he was wearing a famous watch on his wrist. His attitude suddenly became enthusiastic.

"Hello, sir, we only accept famous cigarettes, famous wines and famous teas here."

"I still have some cigarettes. Do you accept the brand of 'Fuxing'?"

Xu Dong asked knowingly.

Although life is not a novel, there are not so many routines of pretending to be cross and slapping in the face, but it is still okay to satisfy bad taste occasionally.

The waiter's eyes lit up and nodded immediately: "Of course."

"How to exchange?"

"Fuxing cigarettes, the recycling price here is 250 yuan per pack.

You can directly exchange this 250 yuan for cakes not exceeding 250 yuan in our store.

Of course, if you are willing to accept cash, there is no problem. We also have extra rewards."

The waiter introduced patiently.

Xu Dong secretly calculated in his mind: "So, a pack of Fuxing cigarettes can be exchanged for 2,500 yuan worth of pastries?"

"You calculated correctly."

Hearing that the customer might take out a whole pack of cigarettes, the waitress smiled even more brightly, after all, she also got a commission from it.

"Honey, this price is too expensive, I think we should forget it!"

Yang Lina pulled Xu Dong's arm and whispered to persuade him. She was used to saving money and was usually more stingy than her mother-in-law.

Xu Dong whispered to comfort him: "What are you afraid of? We don't need these cigarettes at home. Besides, we have come here with great difficulty, so we have to bring something back, otherwise it will be a waste of time!"
