Chapter 253 Journey to Find Jade

Although Uighur houses appear to be made of adobe bricks and look ordinary on the outside, the interiors of the rooms are very luxurious.

Perhaps it was because of the good conditions at Harry's house that there was actually a huge carpet covering more than ten square meters in the room.

The green, blue, and gold paintings on the stalls are very beautiful, giving Li Wen a high-end and classy feeling.

"Comrade Li, please have some tea." As soon as he sat down, Harry handed him a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Comrade Harry, for your hospitality!" Li Wen smiled, took a sip, and nodded in thanks.

"Comrade Li, let's have tea first. I've already asked someone to pick up the carpet and it will be delivered shortly." Harry explained with a smile.

"There's no rush."

Li Wen smiled and nodded. It was not easy to meet a Uighur who was proficient in Daxia language. He began to ask about Hotan's folk customs from Harry.

In less than ten minutes, two women came in carrying a roll of carpet.

"Acha, Delia, open the carpet and let the guests see it." Harry saw the two people coming in and hurried over.

Seeing that his master had stood up, Li Wen did not continue to sit down to drink tea, and followed Harry to the carpet.

This carpet looks new at first glance. The milky white plush on the outside has no stains at all. It looks very beautiful.

"Comrade Li, this carpet is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide. It is very large. It took four people three months to complete it." Harry pointed at the exquisite carpet and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's really a piece of art. Comrade Harry, please set a price!" Li Wen also nodded in agreement.

"The raw materials alone for this carpet cost nearly 200 yuan. Including labor, 500 yuan is the lowest price." Harry quoted a sky-high price.

"hiss!"

"This carpet can be used to replace a whole house. No wonder it will be a luxury item in the future." Li Wen complained in his heart.

But when Li Wen looked at the carpet again, he still agreed to Harry's offer.

The labor cost of this carpet alone is more than 200, so selling it for 500 is really not much.

"Comrade Harry, I want this carpet, but I need to add that stone." Li Wen pointed to the Wada stone that Harry used as a decoration.

"Comrade Li, that is a piece of rough Hetian jade. You are really discerning. But we have more of it here, so I gave it to you." Harry looked very happy after selling the carpet at the price he expected.

Instead of giving money, Li Wen counted three hundred kilograms of national food stamps and handed them over.

National food stamps are very precious and can be used in any province. There is no time limit. The market transaction price in New Province is close to 1.7 yuan.

"Harry! Do you have any better Hetian jade? I want to buy some of it."

After trading the carpet, Li Wen finally revealed the purpose of his trip.

"Comrade Li, you have asked the right person about this. In our village, I have the most high-quality Hetian jade." Harry also did not expect that Li Wen would actually accept Hetian jade, and it seemed that he was going to make another fortune.

"Well, I'm in the right place today. I've found the right person. Comrade Harry, look at your jade?" Li Wen asked with a smile.

In fact, in Harry's mind, Hetian jade is everywhere along the river. It is no different from stones, so it is worth a lot of money only if it is of particularly good quality.

Since someone wants to buy it, it must be good quality. Ordinary jade people can pick it up themselves.

However, Harry never imagined that high-end hunters often appear as prey.

Li Wen guessed that these locals had good products at home, so he took the opportunity of buying carpets to penetrate into Harry's village.

High-quality jade is definitely hard to find. No matter how valuable jade is in this day and age, good jade materials are not as good as cabbage.

These Uighurs have lived here for generations, and their homes have some high-quality and top-quality Hotan jade.

After packing the food stamps, Harry walked to the corner with a smile, carried a wooden box to Li Wen and opened it.

The moment he opened it, Li Wen was already amazed by what was inside.

The box is filled with Hetian jade and raw jade stones, big and small, and all kinds of beautiful colors.

“Really good!”

Li Wen took out two palm-sized pieces of mutton-fat white jade and looked at them. They were full of oil, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"Harry, what's the price of these stones? I want them all." Li Wen put down the jade in his hand and wrote lightly.

"These stones total 12 kilograms. According to the market price, the total is 250 yuan. How about Comrade Li?" Harry asked tentatively.

"Two hundred and thirty yuan, 250 is too ugly," Li Wen countered.

The two of them went back and forth, and finally the price was negotiated at 238 yuan, and Li Wen pocketed all of Harry's box of top-quality jade.

"Comrade Harry, I have purchased a large quantity of good jade. Can you help contact other comrades in your village?

Let them sell it to me together, and I can exchange it for tea, food stamps, and dairy products." When he got to the carriage at the door, Li Wen smiled and gave Harry a bag of milk balls.

Just now at Harry's house, Li Wen carefully observed that the dairy products in Harry's house had been stored for a long time, and the tea leaves were also full of dregs.

The Uighurs are very hospitable and like dairy products, so Harry was delighted with the milk pimples Li Wen brought out.

"Thank you my friend, this breast is our favorite. Just wait a moment and I will notify you." Harry happily took the breast and hurried towards the neighbor's house next door.

Twenty minutes later, the door of Harry's house was crowded with neighbors and villagers who came to exchange jade. Harry and the captain helped negotiate the price and maintain order.

Li Wen's guess was correct. There were quite a lot of high-quality Hetian jade in these local people's homes.

Li Wen also discovered that the toy stones in the hands of some children were Hetian jade. After obtaining the consent of these children's families, he exchanged some candies and money for them.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Wen left the Uighur village under the watchful eyes of Harry and other villagers.

"The harvest this time is really big! More than 200 kilograms of top-grade Hetian jade, it's really a bumper harvest." On the way, Li Wen felt happy.

However, these Uighurs were not at a loss either. Li Wen paid several hundred kilograms of food stamps, and more than a hundred kilograms of tea and milk lumps for thousands of yuan.

I believe that these villagers will pay more attention to storing high-quality Hetian jade in the future, which can be regarded as a blessing because of Li Wen.

After leaving the Uighur tribe, Li Wen went straight to the Yulong River Valley. He planned to stay here for a few days to collect some jade.

At this time, the Yulong River has not been damaged and is really beautiful. The silver river is like a jade dragon, flowing slowly eastward.

With no one around, Li Wen took the carriage into the small world of space. Then he released the sophomore black alert and began a long journey of treasure hunting on the river bank.

In this era, there were really a lot of jades in the Yulong River, and ordinary quality ones were everywhere like cobblestones.

Li Wen used his energy to search for better jade in the middle of the river. There were few people there, so he found a lot of top quality ones.

Li Wen just rested and ate when his mental energy was exhausted, then resumed his search and continued searching.

Li Wen persisted in such boring days for half a month, searching from the Yulong River to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

"What a huge rough stone!" Li Wen discovered a huge exposed Hetian jade rough stone in a canyon.

After two days of hard work, this huge piece of rough stone was finally dug out. It is three meters long, more than one meter wide, and weighs several tons.

Li Wen took a chisel and separated the jade from the middle, revealing the exquisite jade.

The jade on the outside is relatively ordinary, and the few dozen centimeters in the middle are pure white, like a roll of cheese, so charming.

"Nature is so ingenious! It's so beautiful!" Li Wen couldn't help but admire.

After digging up this piece of jade, Li Wen also decided to go back home and stop looking for jade. The search for jade for more than ten days made him feel bored.

In fact, it was Li Wen who dug enough jade for himself.
