A bonfire has been set up in the camp, and as soon as the prey is brought back, the cook and others immediately take away the skins and prepare the food. People are coming and going, and it is very lively.
Ye Zhenzhen is a good cook and good at grilling meat, but it is a bit inappropriate to do it in this situation. If she does it herself, everyone will definitely crowd around her, which will delay the matter, so she has to refrain from grilling.
The desire to eat meat with one's own hands focuses on the jade materials sent by the merchant.
As a qualified second-generation rich person, Ye Zhenzhen also played stone gambling with her friends in the circle, but her luck was very bad, and she lost nine out of ten bets. In the end, she wisely gave up this wasteful behavior.
Today, the foot dealer sent two pieces of material, which are rough materials that have not yet been mined. According to the foot dealer, these two pieces of material were purchased by experienced stone bettors from their gambling shop.
big.
Douzhong belongs to the low-to-medium grade jadeite, so it is not too shabby to take out two pieces of unopened wool as a tribute.
These two pieces of jade are not big in size and can be held in two hands. Compared with those huge objects, these two rough pieces are nothing, but they are also very heavy in your hands.
Confucianism compares jade to a gentleman. The jade here is not jade, but Hetian nephrite. Jade belongs to jadeite. Although the color is magnificent, it is far inferior to Hetian jade, which has beautiful qualities such as gentleness, modesty, restraint and low-key. Confucian scholars
like.
However, jade is still quite popular in the women's market.
Ye Zhenzhen's jewelry box contains several jade bracelets, and Aunt Cui also has several jade statues of Guanyin Buddha. However, including Cui Zhiduan, all they wear are Hetian jade, and they are also high-quality mutton-fat white jade.
Cui Zhiduan had only seen processed jade in the past. Where had he seen its original appearance? At this time, he saw his mother studying the jade, and he squatted beside him curiously and observed: "Mom, is this jade? Grandmother's Guanyin empress.
Is this the kind of stone that’s mined from?”
Ye Zhenzhen nodded, and Cui Zhiduan became even more curious, and his expression began to be eager to try: "Mom, can these two stones be used to find jade? Can we find jade?"
"We can't open it. We don't have professional stone cutters or professional tools. It's easy to damage the jade inside."
The merchants who sent the jade stones probably didn’t expect that they would be interested in these two stones, so they didn’t think of sending stone-cutting tools. They probably thought that these two pieces would be sent to the jade shop to be mined and made by specialized personnel.
Jewelry.
Cui Weizhen walked around and came back and found that the mother and son were still studying jade. After listening to their conversation, he said directly: "What's so confusing about this? Just call the dealer over and open the two pieces of jade on the spot.
"
Ye Zhenzhen hesitated: "Isn't this good? After all, they are outsiders with unknown origins."
Probably because of Cui Weizhen's attitude just now, she also became wary.
Cui Weizhen found it funny. No wonder Zhen'er was staring blankly at the two jade stones. It turned out that she was worried. He said: "It doesn't matter. I just need to be vigilant when going out. It doesn't hurt to invite someone over."
He directly sent Mo Yan to invite people.
In this case, Ye Zhenzhen also learned to be more careful. She and her son took a stone and moved them to the open space in front of the camp. There were many guards here and they were not close to the core area, so it would save them some trouble.
It didn't take long for the foot traders to be invited over.
There are two foot traders who came this time. One is the foot trade leader who just spoke on behalf of the team, and the other is a thin man with a beard. He is carrying a box and cage in his hand, which should contain tools for mining rough stones. It must be their starter.
Master Shi.
Perhaps Mo Yan made an introduction when he went to invite people. The expressions of the two of them when they arrived became more and more respectful, and there was also a hint of suppressed excitement. As soon as the team leader surnamed Fang came, he saluted excitedly: "The villain has eyes but cannot recognize Mount Tai.
It turns out that it’s Mr. Jing Ningbo and Mrs. Ning Guo who have caused so much trouble just now, so please forgive me."
"You're welcome, my wife and Quanzi are interested in mining jade, so I bothered you to make this trip. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. Mrs. Ning Guo has the world in mind and is a philanthropic person like a Bodhisattva. I even donated some silver to Yongshan Hall. It is my honor to be able to serve Madam."
Hearing that he was also the benefactor of Yongshan Hall, Ye Zhenzhen immediately felt fond of him: "Excuse me, sir."
Leader Fang didn't even dare to say anything, so he simply introduced the master of Kaishi, and then it officially started.
They must have sensed their curiosity about the jade industry. During the process of stone cutting by Master Yu, Team Leader Fang began to introduce the rules of this industry, such as where the best wool comes from, how to choose the material, and what should be selected.
How to open it... all kinds of details, Cui Zhicheng was very fascinated and kept asking questions. Leader Fang told him everything he knew, fully satisfying his curiosity.
Cui Zhicheng had more and more questions, and slowly broke away from the jade itself, and asked curiously: "Since jade is worth a lot of money, then Uncle Fang, as a jade stone dealer, should be quite wealthy, why not hire an escort to escort it?"
?”
Leader Fang smiled bitterly: "Young man, you don't know. In our industry, there is a saying that 'one sword makes you poor, one sword makes you rich'. If you are lucky, you can get rich overnight, but most of them are gamblers who lose everything, and those who make big money are
It's those big trading houses. We foot traders just try our luck occasionally. Reselling other things is our main business. As for gambling on stones and buying stones, we can't afford it."
So if that's the case, then they should have paid a lot of money by donating these two pieces of jade.
However, this also reflects the current living situation of businessmen. They have the lowest status. If you want to do business safely, you have to spend money everywhere. Even if doing business can bring huge profits, it still costs a lot.
"It's green! It's green! It's the best crystal species!"
Suddenly, a sharp vibrato interrupted everyone's conversation. Looking up, it turned out to be Master Yu who had always been silent.
While they were chatting, Master Yu's rock-cutting work was proceeding in an orderly manner. At this time, he was seen carefully holding the material that had not yet been completely mined, staring at the window in fascination, with an abnormal expression on his face.
The blush shows how excited I am.
Team Leader Fang was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and leaned over excitedly: "What? Is it a crystal seed?"
He leaned over and took a look, and sure enough he found that the emerald jade with the skylight open revealed a luster as clear and transparent as crystal. It was pure and full, giving people the illusion that rich and dense water vapor was coming out of the stone.
Even a layman will know that this is a top quality piece of jade when they see it.
Leader Fang was both happy and sad at the same time. He was happy that a top-quality jade stone was found in the wool, but sad that the stone had already been given away. Otherwise, it would no longer be a fantasy to get rich overnight with just this stone.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind for a moment, but finally he took a deep breath and turned to congratulate: "Congratulations, uncle, congratulations to Mrs. Ning Guo. There is probably a large piece of top-quality crystal jade inside this rough stone, which can be beaten."
Wear fine jewelry on your head.”
