Although the decoration of each shop in the antique city is antique and very elegant, there are really not many customers in the store, and more can be seen by the tourists who walk first in the aisle and look around.

Suddenly, the name of a shop caught my --- Nampaya. The name is very Southeast Asian.

Namphaya is one of the five ancient Buddhas in Thailand. In Phitsanulok, there are two most well-known Buddhist temples, one is the Berjaya Buddha Temple, and the other is not only a well-known Buddhist temple, but also this Buddhist temple is of great historical value and commemorative significance for Thailand, it is no exaggeration to say that he is irreplaceable in the history of Thai Buddhism, this Buddhist temple is Vanamphaya (temple name), and Vanamphaya Temple is one of the five famous Buddhas in Thailand. I thought to myself, the owner of this shop must be a strong queen, and I don't know what this store does.

"Niu Ben!" a slightly excited voice sounded.

Looking at the voice, about 1.6 meters tall, very thin, hair tied up, the overall outfit looks very capable and reckless, take a closer look, it turned out to be a familiar person, my classmate --- Nanli!

The corners of my mouth rose slightly, and I didn't know if I was happy or surprised to meet my classmates.

Nanli clapped his palms and walked out of the Nampaya shop, "Niu Ben, why are you here? Why didn't our big hero recuperate at home, hehe"

What she said made me a little embarrassed, and she replied, "I'm just here to hang out, Nanli-san, why are you here?" ”

"Brother Niu, who is this?" Da Zhuang interjected.

Da Zhuang's words woke me up, "Yes, let me introduce you first, this is my classmate, Nanli." This is my hair small, Wang Dazhuang. ”

"Nanli, hello, hello. "Da Zhuang saw the beauty, as enthusiastic as ever.

"Da Zhuang, the name is really interesting. Nanli laughed heartily, "Let's go, let's go to my store." ”

As soon as these words came out, I was really surprised, "This shop is yours?" I asked.

"Yes, our family wants to open the jade market in the capital, and it just so happened that I came to the capital to go to school, so I took the opportunity to set up a shop and do some jade business. ”

By the end of the day, my eyes were wide.

Jadeite, also known as jadeite jade and Burmese jade, is a precious jade. The scientific definition of jadeite is: a fibrous aggregate composed of pyroxene minerals dominated by jadeite minerals. But jadeite is not equal to jadeite. Jadeite is a jade-grade stone polycrystalline aggregate formed under geological action, mainly composed of jadeite or jadeite and sodium (sodium chromium pyroxene) and sodium calcium pyroxene (omphacite), which can contain hornblende, feldspar, chromite, limonite, etc.

In ancient times, jadeite was a bird that lived in the south, and its coat color was very beautiful, usually blue, green, red, brown and other colors. Generally, the male of this bird is red, which is called "Fei", and the female is green, which is called "Cui". Cun Kaitai's "Tengyue Rural Chronicles" recorded: "Teng is the number of extracts, the jade work is full of thousands, made into utensils, and sold in various provinces of Yunnan. High-grade jade, mostly sent to eastern Guangdong, Shanghai, Fujian, Zhejiang, Kyoto. To the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there are more than 100 jade workshops in Tengchong City alone, more than 3,000 jade carving craftsmen, the carved "utensils are sold in various provinces of Yunnan and the top grade jade, and are mostly sent to eastern Guangdong, Shanghai, Fujian, Zhejiang, Kyoto, and the area of Menggong and Myitkyina of Myanmar that produces jadeite in Tengyue Tuanzhi, only 150 kilometers away from the border of Yunnan in China. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, this place was under the jurisdiction of Yongchang Mansion. Due to historical reasons, jadeite, known as the "treasure of the Orient", has been imported into China through Tengchong, Ruili and other border cities in Yunnan, and has a history of four or five hundred years.

Whether in ancient times or in today's society, high-end jadeite jewelry has always been one of the investment products to maintain and increase its value. Of course, there are also a lot of low-end jadeite jewelry circulation, especially in some tourist attractions, the real and false are naturally unknown.

Da Zhuang and I followed Nanli into the store. Obviously, the store has not been organized: in the display case, some jade pendants are placed haphazardly, many uncut stones are piled up in the center of the store, and two workers are carrying wooden boxes inside. I silently thought about the origin of jadeite in my heart, and looked at this dazzling array of jadeite rough stones, and I felt that Nanli was extraordinary.

"Nanli-san, you're too low-key. Such a big belonging..."I thought to myself, how much does this cost, just to go to school, and the shops that are easy to open are worth a fortune.

"Brother Niu, those in the cabinet, I know it's jadeite. What about these on the ground?" said Da Zhuang, and he was going to step on a stone on the ground.

"Hero, stay!" Nanli shouted, drawing the attention of the workers.

Da Zhuang retracted his feet stupidly, thinking that he had slept without washing his feet after drinking wine last night, and he exuded a bad smell when he moved... I was a little embarrassed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nanli was very religious, facing the stone on the ground, his hands folded, his eyes slightly closed, silently reciting something. A little dissatisfied, but not angry, he said: "Jade, for our Nan family, is a god-like existence, and we can't be disrespectful." He has raised our family for more than a century..."In this way, the history of the Nan family in Yunnan has emerged in front of our eyes: after the ancestor of the Nan family, Cunyu, who made a fortune by relying on jade, built water conservancy to benefit the people of Heshun, and the descendants of the Nan family are even more famous for running schools, building ancestral halls, and running libraries. Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. Jadeite has nurtured the Nan family from generation to generation.

After listening to Nanli's story with great interest, I said: "What, let's help you clean up, you should have just been in order, and you can't be busy alone." ”

"Big hero, you're all honorably wounded, leave it alone. Nanli teased.

"My brother Niu, how did he get hurt, he didn't tell me. Sister Nanli, tell me about it. "Da Zhuang is still angry about my injury, and is ready to use his fists to seek justice for me.

"You don't know!" Nanli exclaimed, and then chattered with Da Zhuang on the side. I have to admit that Nanli is a shrewd and capable girl, but gossip is an innate talent for women. It seems that my heroic deeds will spread all over the campus in a short time.

I didn't have the interest to sweep Nanli and Da Zhuang to tell stories, and took the opportunity to look at the jade in the store casually, the most conspicuous thing is a jade cabbage ornament, which is very large, and has the meaning of gathering wealth, attracting wealth, making a fortune, and gathering a hundred wealth. In the cabinet, all kinds of jade pendants, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Buddha, leaves, green beans...

"Brother Niu, that grandson, don't let me have a chance to run into him, he will definitely hit him with peach blossoms!" Da Zhuang's words interrupted my thoughts.

"Okay, sell your strength, hurry up and help Nanli clean up. I looked back.

"No problem, I'm full of strength. Da Zhuang smiled.

"I think you're seeing a beautiful woman, and you're full of strength. I couldn't help but shake my head, teasing Da Zhuang, and then helped clean it up together.
