Chapter 9 - Street - fair

The street was still about the times of the second northern empire. In places the asphalt was rubbed, so much so that the old tiles of the bricks of the First Empire were visible under it.

In fact, if you could get these bricks, they could be sold if they had a factory stamp on them. Such bricks were prized among the elite of Small-An, they loved to build houses from them. For each brick you could get $ 5-10. "I could make good money"! It flashed through Dar's thoughts.

He looked around. On the old cracked asphalt, on the right and left sides, people of different ages sat, some on small benches, and some on their haunches. The asphalt in front of them was covered with cloth, two by two square meters. On which lay various old objects from a bygone era. Old spoons, forks, cupronickel, steel, aluminum, wooden.

Accessories for the kitchen, for cooking. Shabby orders, badges, postage stamps. Old wooden boxes. Porcelain figurines with cracks and sometimes chipped edges. Budgetary.

Old carpets, worn rugs. Clothes long out of fashion. Ebanite, porcelain, glass beads. Penknives. Battered books inhabited by the touch of a thousand hands, old leather jackets and caps, brass buckled belts. Bijuteria and semi-precious stones, amber, garnet, amethyst, turquoise.

Malachite boxes, watches on a chain, magnets of various shapes. Several old books with leather bindings and silver inserts. Two or three rolls of topographic maps of the late 19th century. DVDs, CDs, disks, zip drives, large 3.5 "and 5.25" floppy disks, some old magnetic tape cassettes. Records with music from the 30-70s of the 20th century.

Paintings drawn by amateurs. Old letters of the 19th and 20th centuries. Old clothes, shoes, hats and accessories from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Coins of the old empires, first and second, coins of the first years of Small-An's independence. Bottle caps. In general, ordinary rubbish. But among this garbage you can sometimes find something expensive.

A rare coin or stamp, an old map or book in which, under the cover, a schematic map could be hidden by demolished caches or just a note about the events of the Time of Troubles.
