Chapter 204: Pit No. 7, Juma River
As soon as Wu Duo's words came out, the female stall owner's face changed slightly:
"Let's talk about it separately, I will also have a jasper bead bracelet like this. As for those old glass beads, don't look at them casually, that's because they haven't been picked yet, and they are also sold according to their size and color. β
"That's fine. Wu Duo nodded, his hidden focus was on bowl washing, and he couldn't startle the snake.
Ning Shuang thought for a while, "This jasper bracelet seems to be a little better than the common quality on the market. β
"It's not a little better, this is the stuff of Pit No. 7!" said the stall owner quickly.
When it comes to Obi, if you want to talk about high quality, the No. 7 pit is the first to be recommended.
This is the mouth of an old Russian jasper mine, probably located southwest of Lake Baikal, not far from the Russian-Mongolian border. Obi now has more than 30 mineral pits, which is larger than the output of Hetian jasper, and also occupies most of the market share.
The number of the pit mouth is arranged in the order of discovery and mining, and the No. 1 pit is the first to be discovered and mined. Here, No. 1 to No. 8 can be regarded as an old pit.
Don't look at Pit No. 7 is not the first to be discovered, but it is the most famous.
Because the quality of the ore in Pit 7 is the highest.
Delicate, oily and extra green.
The jasper of Pit No. 7 is easy to identify when compared with the jasper at the mouth of other pits.
However, when Wu Duo heard her say the No. 7 pit, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked an arc, "Boss, although this quality is good, it must not be the material of the No. 7 pit." β
"Handsome guy, I know you're an expert in jade, but you can't be so sure, and it's also the material of the No. 7 pit, and it's also good and bad!"
"Let's not talk about the material. The time you said is incorrect, you just said that it was an old pit material twenty or thirty years ago, but the mining of No. 7 pit has been less than 20 years!"
"Really?" the stall owner couldn't help but be stunned, "You know so well?"
"When I was in school, Russian geologists came to our school to give lectures. The No. 7 pit was discovered in 2004, and it was not taken seriously in the early days, but it was actually speculated in the Huaxia market. Of course, it's not a random speculation, because the quality is really good. β
"Is it out of mine now?" asked the female stall owner following Wu Duo's train of thought.
"After the price went up, around 2008, the No. 7 pit jasper began to be exploited frantically, and in just a few years, the reserves became very low. It can't be said that the mine is out of stock, but it's hard to find it on the market now. β
"But this string of jasper is by no means a new pit. β
"I didn't say it was worse, it just wasn't as good as Pit Seven. β
"You are so knowledgeable, just say how much money you can get!" The female stall owner simply asked Wu Duo directly.
"Although the quality of this bead is good, it is small in size and small in number of beads, and it is not worth much, and it is worth 2,000 yuan. Wu Duo paused slightly, "However, let me buy it, I definitely won't pay this price, you have to ask the person who wants to buy it." β
Ning Shuang smiled, "I don't have to buy it." β
"You two have a tacit understanding!" The stall owner also smiled, "My string of beads was collected by 15,000, you can't let me sell it at a loss, right?"
Ning Shuang said, "Then it's better to talk about that bowl of old glass beads first." β
"Okay, we have to talk about it separately anyway. The stall owner stepped forward and put the bowl from the shelf to the table, and then brought a plastic tray for picking beads.
Bang la blah.
A bowl of beads was poured into a plastic square plate.
"Are you going to shoot or are you going heads-up?"
"What's the price of a shot?" Wu Duo asked.
"Wait for me to count. The stall owner then counted them, sorting them by size as she counted.
There are 96 beads in total, of which 59 are 1.4 cm or less, 22 are 1.5 cm to 1.6 cm, and 15 are 1.7 to 1.8 cm.
"I also came from currency, but not ordinary currency, but currency without cracks. The proprietress dragged the calculator on the table, "1.4 or less, 111, 1.5 to 1.6, 151, 1.7 to 1.8, not much, round up 300." A total of thirteen thousand seven, I'll give you one more step, ten thousand thirteen!"
"It's not cheap!" Wu Duo frowned.
"This is the Qing Dynasty, Juma River glass beads! This kind of quality, you go to buy a string of well-matched bracelets, if it is a single price, how can there be such a low price as me!"
Ning Shuang picked up a few and looked at them again, as if inadvertently glanced at Wu Duo.
It's a look of certainty.
Jumahe glass beads are a popular item in the cultural entertainment market in recent years. However, hot things are always inseparable from imitations and fakes. Ning Shuang gave Wu Duo a look that was sure that this was genuine.
Because of the glass beads of the Juma River, it can also be regarded as "dug out". Ning Shuang's identification of some weathering lines and flowing water lines is very professional.
Juma River is a river in the Beijing-Hebei region and a tributary of the Daqing River. In the transportation of the capital, the Daqing River system is very important, and at the same time, it is not much different from the historical river basin. There is also a tributary of the Juma River, which is called the Liuli River.
The glazed beads of the Juma River are the glazed products of the Qing Dynasty that were lost in the waterway when they entered and exited the capital, and it is said that there were shipwrecks.
In the past few years, some glass beads have been dug out of the dry riverbed of the old river and gradually circulated to the market.
Jumahe glass beads, pure color, exquisite workmanship, no bubbles, coloring is also made of natural materials, unlike modern glass beads with chemical materials to match.
At the same time, because of the special "experience" of being soaked in river water and washed by sediment, the surface will form flowing water lines, which has a unique beauty.
Wu Duo picked up a bead and rubbed it, "Since the boss lady has said so, I won't talk about it more, ten thousand lines?"
"13,000 is already the lowest! I calculated, it's cheaper than the wholesale price. When I look back and sell it with a bracelet, it's much higher. β
"Do you think this will work?" Ning Shuang answered, "Let's pick a string of bracelets and follow the unit price you calculated at the beginning." β
"You pick the best color and condition, and I won't be able to sell the rest!" the female stall owner thought for a while, "Why don't you pick first, and then we'll negotiate the price." β
This female stall owner is very fine, and she picks it out with great difficulty, all of which she likes, and it is easier to say the price if she is reluctant to let go.
Wu Duo and Ning Shuang glanced at each other, "Okay." β
Wu Duo picked very simply, 1.7 to 1.8 a total of fifteen, he only eliminated the least round, and picked fourteen bracelets.
Ning Shuang picked 1.2 of 18 pieces, the number of small sizes is large, Ning Shuang picked a small hand, only sky blue, dark green, translucent white three color matching.
The female stall owner thought for a while, "There are only so many big ones, and I will give you 300 photos; The total price is seven thousand eight!"
"Boss, you've turned the price of the little beads over like this. Wu Duo smiled, "It's always okay to wipe zero, right? Seven thousand." β
"It's really not good!" the female stall owner shook her head again and again, "If I hadn't brought you here, I would have already worked hard, and I wouldn't have been able to sell carefully selected skewers at this price!"
Wu Duo coughed lightly, and picked up the bowl wash "easily", "Hey, this little bowl is also very beautifulΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· It's a pity that it's cracked. β
"I won't use it for beads if it doesn't crack, it's like a pen wash, and it's an old thing. The stall owner replied.
"Okay, I'm not short of the eight hundred, seven thousand eight is seven thousand eight, can you put on this small bowl?"
