After dinner, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Mark pulled Joshan aside and discussed tomorrow's itinerary.

It wasn't long before Joshan and Mark returned.

Qiao Shan said to everyone: "Tomorrow morning, let's take a look at Tianzhou Jade Street, let everyone know what the jade rough looks like, and then go into the mountain to collect jade." ”

Early the next morning, Mark came over and brought a batch of supplies to everyone. There are large backpacks, special grappling hooks, shovels, ropes, and food and fruits, all loaded on the car.

Qiao Shan said: "We first went to Jade Street, and then drove to the camp. ”

The so-called jade street is divided into two grades, one is a stall and the other is a shop.

Mark took everyone to the booth first, and explained all the way.

"The ones that come out of these stalls are all rough jade. ”

"The quality of jade is good or bad, mainly depending on the degree of fineness, color, purity and so on. ”

"Jade is roughly divided into six types: mutton fat white jade, green and white jade, green jade, topaz, black jade, and jasper. ”

"Jade materials are roughly divided into three categories: seed materials, mountain water materials and mountain materials. For jade of the same grade, the seed material is the best, followed by the mountain water, and the mountain material is the worst. ”

"Of course, mutton fat white jade seeds, there are basically no such stalls, and they have been taken away a long time ago, and if you look at the real thing, you have to go to the shop over there. ”

Mark took the tourists to visit the stalls, and the stall owners didn't sell much, knowing that these people were digging jade in the mountains, and when they came back from digging jade, it was the time for these people to consume.

Nine times out of ten, tourists from other places who go into the mountains to collect jade will not be able to pick any good jade, and it is not easy to come to Tianzhou, so they must buy a few pieces of jade and go back, and that is when they do business.

Li Dongwen listened very carefully, and also noted down some characteristics of jade, that is, he didn't see any good materials, the best was a piece of green and white jade, the size of a goose egg, and when he asked the price, he asked for 60,000 yuan, and he didn't bargain.

Xie Anping said: "Where is the mutton fat white jade, can you take us to see it?"

Every guest who Taoyu has a dream of mutton fat and white jade. This kind of guest Mark has seen a lot, and if he doesn't know it, he won't give up.

Mark said: "We'll go see it in a moment, and now let's take a look at these breeds, after all, these are the common ones." ”

Xuan Yuxuan.

One of the largest jade shops on the street.

The quality of the jade here is at least one grade higher than that of the stalls outside.

Li Dongwen walked around the store and found a few good ingredients.

Li Xianqiong also found a piece, pure mutton fat white jade, that is, the material is a little small, the size of a child's palm, and it is very thin, half an inch thick.

This material, it is impossible to make a bracelet, you can only make a pendant, or a handle.

The list price is not cheap, 280,000.

Li Xianqiong watched it for a long time and couldn't put it down.

As soon as the boss saw the situation, he said, "The guest brought by Mark will give you a preferential price, 250,000 yuan, you take it." ”

Li Xianqiong threw out a bank card and wanted to swipe it.

The boss looked embarrassed, "Can you go and get some cash, there is a bank when you go out and turn right." ”

Li Dongwen saw this situation, took it out of his coat pocket, took out three stacks of green tickets, and threw them on the counter.

"$30,000, isn't that enough?"

"Enough is enough!" the boss quickly took it and counted it.

Meizi in this year, but it is hard currency, and ordinary people want to exchange it, but they can't find a way.

Mark came over to take a look, very envious. These people are really rich, and they all carry tens of thousands of dollars of knives with them.

Xie Anping said: "Let's go, it's only so small, let's dig a few big ones ourselves." ”

Out of Jade Street, the group got into the car and rushed to the camp.

The camp is on the outskirts, three or four kilometers from the river beach where the jade is mined.

The car was parked on the camp and was supervised. When everyone came here, they found that more than a dozen cars had been parked, and it seemed that there were still a lot of jade pickers.

Mark said: "The rest of the road is only on foot. We have to build a new camp on the river beach, and the things in the car can only be carried by everyone. ”

When Li Dongwen saw it, it was really troublesome. It's so hard, buddy alone, and even the car can transport it over.

In the end, Li Dongwen carried a large backpack more than one meter high, and two large bags for tents in one hand, and went on the road. Li Xianqiong also carried a big bag and a big bag of charcoal in her hand.

Everyone carried a lot of things, even a fat guy like Xie Anping carried a big bag and a small bag in one hand.

Everyone walked down the path to the river beach, and they were basically exhausted and out of breath.

Xie Anping sat on the river beach, thinking that the camp had arrived.

Mark looked at it and said, "Let's take a rest first." This beach has been mined countless times, and we will have to walk up the river in a moment to find a new camp. ”

After a short rest, the large army set off again. Li Dongwen followed Mark and walked in front of the team.

After another five or six miles upstream, Li Dongwen stopped at a wide bend.

Li Dongwen said: "It's here, the scenery is good." ”

Mark's idea is to go inside again, after all, this river beach has been patronized by a lot, and the stones on the surface have been turned over a long time ago.

Xie Anping really couldn't walk, and when he saw Li Dongwen stop, he slammed his butt on the ground again, dressed in a rough manner and said, "That's it, I'm resolutely not going forward." ”

It was already noon, and the sun was shining on the river.

Li Xianqiong put down her backpack, threw off her shoes, pulled up the corners of her pants, and went straight to the river.

The only girl is that she has an advantage and doesn't have to work. Everyone else was busy setting up camp, setting up stoves, and preparing for lunch today.

Xie Anping also relented, he picked up a grappling hook, and began to dig around on the river beach, seeing that all of them looked like mutton fat and white jade. He hugged a big stone like a treasure, found Qiao Shan, and asked him to help him take a look.

Qiao Shan said with a serious face: "This piece is big enough, and the stove is quite good." ”

Xie Anping was dissatisfied: "Do you understand, come, that Mark, you can take a look." ”

Mark came over and looked at it twice, "It's indeed jade, the material of the mountain and the water, it's a pity to build the stove, press the tent." ”

Looking at Xie Anping's disappointed look, Mark explained: "This quality of jade is generally sold by tons, a ton of 10,000 yuan, it is left over by others, this amount can be worth two hundred yuan, not much more expensive than mineral water." After a long trip into the mountains, are you sure you want to carry a few dozen pounds of this thing back?"

A few people were talking here, and another wave of jade pickers came in downstream, and the team of six people, seeing that there were people in this area, did not linger and continued upstream.

Mark said: "During the May Day Golden Week, there will be more and more tourists, and we are still early. ”

At this time, I heard Li Xianqiong shouting in the river: "I picked up a big one! It's so beautiful!"
