"drive!"

Counting Xu Chen's twelve people, the twelve riders got on their horses and headed northeast from Yingjiang County. Five hours later, when it was still dark, Tengchong City was already in sight.

Xu Chen gave an order, and the twelve people broke into pieces and entered the city in twos and threes.

After entering the city, Xu Chen and Ding Daniu still stayed at Youjian Inn. Four of the remaining ten people also stayed at Youjian Inn, and six stayed at Tongfu Inn opposite.

Tengchong,

Since the Ming Dynasty, jade has been mined here, and now there are many jade and jade shops in Tengchong City.

The raw stone wool mined from the Wulu River is unwound locally, and then the seeds are sent to Tengchong City, where they are carved and then sent to the mainland for sale.

Such an industrial chain has been vaguely formed!

The purpose of Xu Chen's visit this time is very simple, just for the jade.

..

After entering the city, it was already getting late, and the group of people rode horses for a day. After eating, they went to bed early.

the next day,

After getting up and having breakfast, Xu Chen and Ding Daniu went to the street, while the other ten people hung far behind and were scattered in the crowd.

Tengchong City South Gate,

There is a straight bluestone road in front of the door, with jade shops on both sides. Some sell raw stone materials, some sell seed materials, and some sell carved finished products.

After looking around, Xu Chen walked into a jade shop called [Bihai].

To say it is a shop, it may be more accurate to describe it as a courtyard. Not only the Biluo family, but also Tengchong city basically has this architectural pattern.

Stepping into the door, there are some blue-gray stones of different sizes scattered in the courtyard inside the door. Some are cracked, and a hint of green-skin color is faintly revealed inside.

There are two side rooms on the left and right sides of the courtyard. Opposite the main door is the main room. The main door is open, and there is a wooden counter inside, covered with a tablecloth, and on the tablecloth are jade products.

Bracelets, pendants, hairpins, rings and so on.

At this time, the main hall was not empty. Several people dressed in luxurious clothes and looking like businessmen were picking and choosing at the counter.

"Sir, are you here to see the jade?" Xu Chen walked in and someone came up to greet him.

He is still dressed in white, with three thousand black hair, like a banished immortal coming to the world, and it is impossible not to attract attention.

"Take out your best jade. If my young master is satisfied, it will only cost you a thousand pieces of gold.

The black and strong Ding Daniu has perfectly assumed the role of Xu Chen's henchman. Now he can find his own existence without Xu Chen even needing to say anything.

Looking at everyone in the room, Ding Daniu smiled with pride rather than shame.

What are you looking at? My young master is actually Grandpa Fox Fairy. How can he be compared to ordinary people like you?

Ding Daniu thought this in his heart, but naturally he would not say it out loud.

"Old Zheng Hai, who is the owner of Bihai, doesn't dare to ask the young master Gao's name?"

An old man in his fifties, with a beard, wearing a net scarf, and a well-built figure, bowed his hand to Xu Chen.

"Dong Zheng's family has invited me. My late-born surname is Xu Dan, whose last name is Chen. I heard that Tengchong is rich in jade, so I came here to see the world. My subordinates are anonymous. Don't be surprised by my boss."

"Young Master Xu is so polite, but I don't know what Mr. Xu's requirements are for jade?"

“I don’t have any specific requirements, but the quality must be good. Price is not an issue.”

Zheng Hai laughed: "I dare not say anything else. I am not bragging about the quality of our Bihai jade. Mr. Xu can ask Boss Wang and Boss Chu."

A few people at the counter over there gave Zheng Dong's face and added a few words with a smile. Zheng Hai said again: "Master Xu, please come to me and see if there is anyone you are satisfied with."

Xu Chen followed Zheng Hai to the counter. On the long wooden table, there were many jade products, each of which was transparent, pure and lovable.

Judging the grade of jadeite is very complicated.

Each of these seven items has a decisive impact on the value of jadeite.

Zheng Hai picked up a bracelet, which was emerald green in color, transparent and pure: "Master Xu, what do you think of this?"

"Not bad" Xu Chen nodded in praise.

You're right, what the hell does he know? They are just eight generations of poor peasants from the old Xu family, and Yuan Datou is not even a poor family.

How does he know what jade is and what stone is?

But it looks quite beautiful!

"There is also this hairpin, this pin, this jade belt, this Chenpei, this carrier, hook belt, pen holder, flat box, paperweight, and jade bamboo stick. These are all the master craftsmen that Bihai hired from Jinling.

Master, carefully carved.”

Every time Zheng Hai introduced a product, Xu Chen nodded. It looked really good, but he didn't know the price.

but,

Probably not high, because during this period, Tengchong's jadeite had just emerged and was still in the initial stage of discovery.

Jade has been worshiped by the Chinese nation since ancient times. A gentleman is as gentle as jade, a beauty is as gentle as jade, and he is as protective as jade. These are the most beautiful evaluations of people.

but,

The jade here refers to Hetian mutton-fat white jade.

Speaking of jade, it was actually developed during the Qing Dynasty. This has a certain relationship with the shaman's worship of life and green. It is also inseparable from the excessive love of Lafayette.

In short, green is not yet popular nowadays.

After the introduction, Zheng Hai said to Xu Chen: "Is there any of these that can catch Mr. Xu's eyes?"

"Well, they are all pretty good, but I don't know how much they cost?"

"If Mr. Xu is sincere, it will be counted as one hundred and twenty taels."

"Expensive!"

Xu Chen doesn’t know much about the market, but no matter what price the other party offers, if they say it’s expensive, there’s nothing wrong with it!

"It's really a good price," Zheng Hai said with a bitter look on his face:

"Cost, transportation, and labor don't cost money? Just talk about this stone. It's hard to predict life or death if it's hammered down.

These eight items cost one hundred and twenty taels, so you really can’t make much money.”

Zheng Hai was crying, but Xu Chen frowned, eight pieces and one hundred and twenty taels?

This deal,
Chapter completed!
