Chinatown plays an important role in New York, where the residents are predominantly Chinese, and most of the business activities of the Chinese New Yorkers are concentrated here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

One-third of this small Chinese town is made up of Chinese restaurants, and the streets are lined with piles of fruit and herb seafood stalls, vendors and beautiful Chinese signs that look very Chinese.

However, hearing those people speak authentic Cantonese, Huo Sining will still be a little dizzy, because she does not understand Cantonese.

Just when Huo Sining and the others walked to a teahouse, Huo Sining unexpectedly heard the familiar sound of a stone cutter.

That kind of harsh sizzling sound sounded extremely sharp to Huo Sining, and she couldn't help but glance at Bai Yishan next to her, Bai Yishan understood, and several people walked into this teahouse unhurriedly.

This is a very retro teahouse, the outside of the teahouse looks very old, walk into the teahouse along the steps nailed into the wooden board, and the inside is really the same as the ancient teahouse.

Such an old teahouse is difficult to find even in China.

There are still a lot of people in the teahouse, and the dozens of tables in the hall are almost full.

Seeing Huo Sining and the others coming in, a young man in Tang costume immediately came over to lead the way, and finally found an empty table of six people in the corner with them, Huo Sining, Gu Xu, Su Qingqing, Bai Yishan, Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian were just right.

After taking a sip of the tea poured by Xiao Er in Tang costume, even Gu Xu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and Huo Sining couldn't help but admire:

"Good tea!"

Although the tea leaves in this teahouse are authentic West Lake Longjing in the Ming Dynasty, although it is not as mellow and tender as the old pile tea in the pot of porcelain that Huo Sining gave to Mr. Gu, but it is not worse than the tea sold in those high-quality teahouses in China.

Of course, in Chinatown, such a pot of tea is naturally not cheap, Gu Xu wants the best, and a pot of tea costs a thousand US dollars.

However, at this time, a few people paid attention not to this pot of tea, but to the curtain in the back hall of the teahouse.

Because behind the curtain in the back hall of this teahouse, there are two Chinese people in the inner courtyard at this moment.

It stands to reason that the teahouse should be a quiet place, and the noisy thing like the stone dissolving machine should not appear in the teahouse under normal circumstances.

But Huo Sining paid attention to it, and the Chinese who came here to drink tea did not seem to show impatience, but were staring at the situation in the inner courtyard with expectant eyes, and seemed to be looking forward to it and seemed to be eager to try.

"It's up, it's up, it's a white ground green seed!"

Suddenly, one of the Chinese in the courtyard exclaimed excitedly, smiling with joy: "Lao Chen's money for today's pot of tea is out!"

"Up?"

As soon as they heard that it had risen, some of the tea drinkers in the teahouse were in a commotion, and they all stood up and looked towards the courtyard.

At this time, the Chinese who had cut up walked out of the back hall with a piece of white ground green seed jade in his hand that was less than the size of a palm, and walked out of the back hall with an excited look on his face.

As soon as the man walked out, a teahouse manager in Tang costume immediately walked over and asked:

"Mr. Chen, congratulations on your cut! Do you plan to sell this piece of jadeite in the teahouse, or do you want to bring it back?"

Mr. Chen looked at the piece of jadeite, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"If this piece of jadeite is sold on consignment in the teahouse, what is the approximate price?"

The manager took the piece of jade in his hand, looked at it again, and said with a smile:

"The green of this white ground green species is bright and durable, and the texture is also delicate, although the water head is not good, but this kind of jadeite bracelet or small pendant should not worry about the market. Although you can't afford to pay for a bracelet, you should make one or two small pendants, and the material is enough, and it should be able to sell for two thousand dollars. ”

Although 2,000 US dollars is not much, it is a big windfall for people who come here to drink tea.

Lao Chen was obviously very happy, and hurriedly said to the manager: "Then I choose to sell on consignment in the teahouse, and I'm sorry for you." ”

The manager smiled and waved his hand, took the contract and showed it to Mr. Chen, signed the agreement, took the piece of jade to a Bogu shelf, opened a glass lattice, put the white ground green seed in it and locked it, and put a price tag on the top of the glass lattice.

Huo Sining noticed that on the glass Bogu shelf, there were hundreds of grids, and in each grid there was a piece of jadeite of different sizes.

However, those jadeites are not high-quality jadeite, and the best one is the dry green seed, which is only a little higher than the white ground green seed.

Seeing this, Huo Sining had a faint guess in his heart.

The jadeite in the glass lattice is likely to have been dissolved by these tea guests in the back hall of the tea house.

Just after Lao Chen signed the agreement with the manager, someone immediately stood up and walked towards the manager.

Huo Sining saw the man hand the man a sign made of wood in his hand to the manager, and soon the manager led the man into the inner hall.

Not only Huo Sining, but the entire table suddenly felt strange.

Su Qingqing is a man of action, and immediately called the previous Tang costume junior to come over to inquire about the situation.

The Tang costume Xiaoer learned that Huo Sining and the others were Chinese who came to New York for tourism, and immediately explained with a smile:

"This is the characteristic of our teahouse, in our teahouse customers, as long as they spend an extra fifty dollars, they can be dealt a wooden card, with this wooden card, you can enter the inner hall to choose any gambling stone. ”

This is a bit interesting, the owner of this teahouse is really looking for gimmicks, using some worthless bricks, but it can bring a lot of customers to the teahouse, this world, as long as someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, the business of this teahouse will definitely not be cold.

Just look at the full seats of this teahouse, as well as the eager expressions of the tea customers sitting in the teahouse, you can see how successful the business of this shop is!

Hearing the explanation of the shopkeeper, Huo Sining's eyes flashed with a hint of interest.

Bai Yishan thought about it a little more, and continued to ask: "If the cut goes up, does your store need to charge a handling fee?"

The little two were also patient, shook his head and explained: "The rules of the teahouse, the cut up and down have nothing to do with us, if the guest cuts out the jadeite, the store can also sell it on behalf of the customer, without charging any handling fees." ”

Huo Sining raised his eyebrows, Su Qingqing next to him was already itchy, and eagerly grabbed Huo Sining's arm and said, "Ning Ning, this is fun, you can also pick a piece! Anyway, it only takes fifty US dollars!"

Huo Sining had this idea in her heart, but Su Qingqing shouted like this, Huo Sining was also a little helpless, nodded, she took out fifty dollars from her bag, and asked the Tang costume junior to bring her a number plate.
