Going to Macau to find your second uncle is not visiting relatives

#Macau Attractions When the older generation is in financial difficulties, instead of asking the bank to borrow money, they always go to the nearby pawn shop to find their "second uncle" for help. Who is the "second uncle"? Macau New Road Pawn Industry Exhibition Hall tells you. This building, which was originally a pawn shop, has been converted into a pawn shop. The building was completed in 1917 and was named "Decheng Press" and was the property of pawnbroker Gao Ko-ning. The second uncle is the court servant in the pawn shop, sitting high at the counter. The high counter not only serves security purposes, but also creates a condescending feeling. Therefore, the person sitting at the counter is also known as "Chao Feng", commonly known as "Second Uncle Gong". Things that can be pawned, except gold jewelry and watches, electrical appliances, umbrellas, refrigerators, TVs, rice cookers, sewing machines, etc., are taken to pawn. So the warehouse, which is the warehouse, has to be very large. Negotiate the price and hand the cash together with the pawn ticket to the pawn customer to take away. After completing the transaction, the Second Uncle Guild offers incense and prays for the good preservation of the pawned items, and the pawned items that have expired and no one can redeem them will be put up for sale. Although the pawn industry is an ancient industry, it has basically gradually declined in modern times. Many people sell off their jewelry and luxury watches. That means switching from a Pawn shop to a second hand shop! The pawn shop and tower of the Pawn Industry Exhibition Hall are just over 100 square meters, the building structure is a more complete pawn shop building, divided into two parts: pawn building and goods building.
