Chapter 6: Selling Jade
The sun was shining on the earth, and a new day was coming again, Wu Xiaoyu ate and went out again with Yao Lou on his back.
Getting up to eat, going into the mountains to collect medicine, and going home to sleep are almost his regular activities in the past three months.
It is precisely by relying on this monotonous and boring activity that he can earn three or five copper plates to supplement his family, but today, he was drugged just to disguise.
He couldn't tell his parents about the jade plaque, so he couldn't explain the money he got from buying the jade to his parents, so he had to lie that he had dug up ginseng in the mountains and sold it for a huge sum.
Not long after he went out, he met Widow Zhang at the back of the village, this woman is in her thirties, but she has fine skin and tender meat, a pair of peach blossom eyes often contain autumn waves, and two curved willow eyebrows can hook the soul and spirit, especially the pair of huge papayas, which makes people reluctant to look away.
"Eldest nephew, are you going into the mountains again?" Widow Zhang asked, staring at Wu Xiaoyu with dry eyes.
Wu Xiaoyu knew that she must want to find out, whether the person she met in the mountains last night was herself, so she squeaked and wanted to walk away quickly.
I didn't think about this widow, but I grabbed his arm, "Big nephew, I heard that there are wolves in this mountain at night, aren't you afraid?"
The two soft balls hit his arm, making him feel flurry and blood gushing, and the sponge directly turned into a steel column, "I...... I don't go into the mountains at night, what are you afraid of!"
When Widow Zhang heard this, she let go of her suspicions a little, but when she saw his embarrassed appearance, she had the idea of teasing him again, and leaned closer to him more and more, "Do you say that your aunt is beautiful?"
"What a sao goods!" Wu Xiaoyu scolded in his heart, but his body was even more out of the control of the brain, and it hurt so much that he had to shake off Widow Zhang's arm and run away.
As soon as he ran a few steps away, he was seen by the sharp-eyed Widow Zhang, "Tsk!
After finally getting out of the tiger's mouth, Wu Xiaoyu sat on a stone and muttered: "Can you give me some skills, don't let everyone be excited, what if I get sick?"
After entering the mountain twice, his mood has changed a lot, he used to only look down for medicinal herbs and mushrooms, and he has never enjoyed the scenery in the mountain.
Now that he has no pressure, he has only realized the majestic beauty of this back mountain for the first time.
This mountain is commonly known as Bear Mountain, it is the remaining vein of Taihang, it is rumored that there was a general hunting in this mountain in ancient times, and shot three black bears in one afternoon, so it was named Bear Mountain.
The main peak of Xiongshan Mountain is steep, the mountain is complicated, all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts are infested, and few people dare to enter the depths of the mountain forest. And the beasts in the mountains never came out, but they often heard the roar of tigers and wolves at night.
After lying in the mountain for more than two hours, Wu Xiaoyu cleaned up and went down the mountain again.
In the stone town where Daxin Village is located, it is estimated that there will be no shops to buy jade, and he must rush to the county seat forty miles away to sell this piece of jadeite of the golden silk seed.
Walking all the way to the town, he got on the bus to the county seat, and he sent a text message to his father, saying that he had dug up a ginseng plant and wanted to sell it in the county seat, and might not be back until tomorrow.
My father, who had always been bold and bold, didn't think much of it, and replied to him with a 'Got it!' and there was no further talk.
Sitting on the bumpy car, others were cursing this potholed and broken road, but he was happy in his heart, more than 100,000 yuan is already a huge amount of money for a rural family, and he has to think about how to use the money left after paying off the debt.
First of all, I must give my sister more living expenses, and then buy a few clothes for my parents, and then what...... Set up a chicken farm again, Lao Tzu specializes in raising roosters, killing chickens and eating meat every day!
Thinking of this angry words, he couldn't help but laugh at himself for being stupid, even if he really wants to run a chicken farm, he has to raise hens, how can there be a special rooster?
After wandering around the broken car for more than an hour, he entered the county seat, and after getting out of the car, Wu Xiaoyu went straight to Wenyu Street.
He went to high school in the city for two years, and although he was not very familiar with the county seat, he was not so good that he could not find the way, and soon came to Wenwan Street.
Most of the shops on this street are engaged in the business of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gems and jade, and there are many thieves and swindlers during the mixing of all kinds of people.
Wu Xiaoyu chose the largest jade shop and walked in, the counter owner was a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed in a Tang costume and with a sheep's beard, but he looked quite a bit of a tall man.
"Boss, do you want to collect jade?" Wu Xiaoyu asked, the sheep's beard glanced at him, but ignored him.
Wu Xiaoyu knew that the boss saw that he was young and was afraid that he was coming to him to have fun, so he put the piece of jade on the counter and asked, "What price can you give?"
When the goatee saw that he put the jade on the counter instead of handing it over directly to himself, he knew that this kid knew how to do it, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to deceive.
As the saying goes, 'jade is not in hand' When trading jade, buyers and sellers will not hand the jade around, otherwise it will be broken and the responsibility will not be clear.
And this move has also become the most basic condition for judging whether an expert is or not.
Sheepbeard picked up the jadeite, first looked at the light carefully, and then took out a magnifying glass to observe.
"Little brother, how about sixty thousand?" the goatee asked tentatively, putting down the jadeite.
Wu Xiaoyu didn't say a word, put away the jadeite, turned around and was about to leave, the sheepbeard hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to go!
"In this case, the boss had better give a real price, don't look at me as young and easy to bully!"
"How's eighty-thousand?" said Sheepbeard with a ruthless look.
Wu Xiaoyu smiled, it seems that the sentence "no one is not a business" is really true! The piece of jade in his hand, after polishing and processing, whether it is made into a pendant or a jade pendant, it is not a problem to sell it for more than two or three hundred thousand.
It's only 80,000 yuan, and I want to sell it, I'm afraid that I really think of myself as a second fool, "Since the boss is so insincere, I have to change my home!"
"How much do you want to sell?" asked Sheepbeard.
Wu Xiaoyu opened his mouth and said: "How much is this piece of jadeite worth, you and I know it in our hearts, to tell the truth, if I don't need money urgently, I won't cut love, 160,000 is the lowest price!"
After a verbal battle between the two, they finally traded at a price of 120,000 yuan, although it did not reach their expected price, but it was okay.
After all, every link can make money, in order to ensure the circulation of jade, if this boss sells to jewelry manufacturers, it will not be a problem to make 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.
