Chapter twenty-eight
Leaving Tianqiao Park and passing through the high cross-bridge over the street, Ding Ning came to Tianqiao Market again.
This time Ding Ning's mentality was completely different. He was anxious to buy talismans before, but today he was looking for a carrier that could carry the power of lightning.
Today, I was very tired to teach An Xiaoyue to practice boxing. When I walked to a snack shop, Ding Ning ordered two big bowls of mutton soup and ten more sesame cakes, and he ate them slowly by himself.
There were two middle-aged men chatting on the table next to them, and one of them said, "Lao Wang, have you got any good things in the past two days?"
"Old Zhang, don't ruin me. I'll get some gold, silver and jade, and there's no difference in price. Unlike you who play with antiques, you might get it if you pick up a vacancy."
"Who said that gold, silver and jade can't be picked up? Lao Wang, do you know that a new store called Jinyumantang has been opened on the corner of the street?"
"A whole hall of gold and jade?"
"Yes, it's been open for only three days, and no one knows it now. It's full of gold, silver, jade, ancient copper coins, ingots, etc. I went to take a look. What a guy! Even gambling stones are there, which is so dazzling."
"Is that true? There is such a good place. No, I won't eat it anymore. I'm going to have a look now."
"Hey, why are you busy with? At least you can drink the soup before going."
Ding Ning listened for a while, picked up the second bowl of mutton soup, drank it down, and after eating, put the bowl and gave the money to leave the snack house.
According to the location that person said, he searched for a while and finally found the store called "Jinyu Mantang".
Listening to the chat between the two, Ding Ning remembered that carrying the power of the talisman does not necessarily require paper, and jade is also an excellent carrier.
Of course, not all jadeware can be used. Jadeware is divided into many varieties and levels. There are only five or six types of jadeware used by ordinary people that are suitable for carrying talismans.
Since this place is called Jinyu Mantang, it is very likely to find what you need.
It's still early now, and the store seems to have just opened the door, and a guy opened the window gate with sleepy eyes.
Ding Ning walked directly into the room and was shocked as soon as he entered the room!
The lights are on in the house, and under the lights, there is a glorious golden ray everywhere!
Directly facing the door, there was a golden body of Mr. Guan Er who was extremely familiar to Ding Ning, and the incense candle was burning.
The interior space is large and looks like hundreds of square meters. The main color of the whole house is golden. The most conspicuous ones are rows of gilded Buddha statues, as well as various handicrafts that cannot be seen whether they are real gold or gold-plated.
For example, the Taurus with muscles, the golden eagle flying high, the golden horse with its head raised, etc.
Whether it is the Golden Buddha or the Crafts, it is not what Ding Ning wants to see. He just glanced at it and immediately knew whether these things were real gold or gold-plated.
It’s like a foodie can basically tell whether the food is delicious at a glance. Ding Ning is almost the instinct of the God of Wealth.
Walking slowly inside, there were counters here. After walking for a while, Ding Ning stopped.
After passing the crafts section in front, real goods gradually began to appear behind.
Among the most coins of various dynasties, there were many Yuan Datou, and even Ding Ning saw two sword-shaped coins from the Warring States Period.
These things are clearly marked with price. Ding Ning glanced around and couldn't help but smack his tongue.
,
Those big money from the Qing Dynasty cost hundreds of dollars each, and hundreds or thousands of dollars are not uncommon.
Ding Ning inherited the way of the God of Wealth, loved these things very much, and even had the urge to take them all for himself.
"This is a silver ingot!"
Ding Ning took two steps forward and saw a counter with many silver ingots.
The color of the silver ingot is a bit dark, and it looks a bit old. Some silver ingots are still engraved with the back of the era.
"It's a pity that the price is too high, otherwise these coins and silver can not only be played with, but more importantly, they can become hidden weapons."
Cultivators not only rely on realm magic, but also a very important part of magic weapons. Many times, a meritorious magic weapon can easily change the situation of the battle.
Ding Ning has a memory of a monk. He was familiar with these things. He also tried to make some magical tools, but after trying it a few times, Ding Ning gave up. Except for money, he had no feelings about any other materials.
This time when he arrived at Jinyu Mantang, he suddenly felt like he had entered the treasure mountain. As long as these coins and silver ingots were injected into their divine thoughts, they would be the most satisfying magic weapon.
Standing by the counter with gritted teeth, Ding Ning stared at the price tags, hoping to reduce the zeros behind by two.
After a while, a salesperson walked to Ding Ning with some vigilance and said through the counter: "Young man, what do you want?"
Ding Ning gritted his teeth secretly, restrained the urge to buy these things immediately with great perseverance, and said to the salesperson with some difficulty: "Where is the jade?"
"Here, walk there and pass the counter of goldware."
Ding Ning still remembered that he was here to buy jade. When he passed by the counter of goldware, he didn't even dare to look there. He was afraid that once he looked, he would never be able to sell it anymore. Goldware was fatal attraction to him.
Almost covered his eyes and walked past the counter of the goldware, Ding Ning came to the jadeware area.
There are more than ten counters in the jade area. I don’t know who opened the golden and jade hall. There are a wide variety of jade artifacts inside. You can find almost any jade artifact that you can call the name.
Glass-type jade, ice-type pendants, Hetian jade white jade, purple jade, topaz, red jade, and even the green imperial green ring Ding Ning saw one.
But Ding Ning took a look and then shrank back. He now has 13,000 yuan in cash and 15,000 yuan in disposable money in his card. The sum of this money is not enough to buy a similar jewelry.
After walking through those counters that are luxury, Ding Ning finally stopped at the counter of ordinary jade.
The quality of these jade wares is much worse than the previous ones. They are basically considered some waste products, with many impurities and irregular shapes.
But there is one advantage, that is, the price is cheap, hundreds of yuan is expensive, and dozens of yuan is common.
"That's all these things, I'll go back a little wholesale."
Ding Ning thought silently in his mind that as the carrier of the thunder and lightning talisman, ordinary jade is enough. Generally speaking, a thunder and lightning talisman requires a jade the size of a glass ball.
These jades can basically be used, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, there are too many impurities in jade and cannot be used continuously. After using a talisman once, it will break into waste.
Ding Ning estimated that the final price of a jade needed to refine a thunder and lightning talisman is about 100 yuan, which includes the purchase cost and polishing cost, and his own labor cost is not counted.
After seeing some eliminated Baiyu, Ding Ning called the salesperson over.
The salesperson had been paying attention to Ding Ning for a long time. The fat man came here after opening the door. He had been shopping here for a long time, especially at the counters of silverware and coins. His eyes were as if a fly was watching blood. The salesperson felt scared and had the urge to call the police.
When the salesperson heard that Ding Ning was finally going to buy something, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"If I buy more jade at one time, can it be considered cheaper?"
"It's not cheap."
Ding Ning had no talent for bargaining, so he gave up after failing to try it and said directly: "Then according to this price ratio, I'll give me 10,000 yuan."
The salesperson looked at Ding Ning like a fool. There were still people who wanted this kind of semi-waste jade, and so many were needed at one time.
He couldn't have asked for the money given to the door, so he quickly weighed the jade to Ding Ning.
The half-waste jade of ten thousand yuan was a large piece. Ding Ning picked it up and came to the counter next to polish the jade.
"This master, I polished these jades to the size of a glass ball for children to play with. Well... I made a small hole in the middle, which can be used to string a bracelet and necklace or something."
The master looked at it and said, "Sure, you can get about 120 beads in total, and the handmade fee is 31, so you can pay 3,600 yuan."
Ding Ning took out the money, clicked it and left it with only 3,600 left, and all of them were handed over to the polishing master.
"It will take some time, come here to pick up the goods at noon."
The polishing master collected the money and started work immediately.
