Yunkang found that he couldn't get rid of Chen Economy, so he gave up, he was really in no mood to hide from him, Chen Economy likes to be a follower and let him do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't hinder himself from doing things.

The two sat down in the taxi, and Chen Economy began to nag about styling again, which made Yunkang upset.

In the end, he made a gentleman's agreement with Chen Jingye, as long as his business was done, he would go to the mall to buy a suit immediately, and Chen Jingye would have the final say on what to eat and what to put on a mask at night.

Chen Economy finally breathed a sigh of relief, crossed his legs, put his hands behind his head, and said complacently: "How good it would be to be so obedient earlier, I have to toss and toss, I am tired to death." ”

Yunkang urged the driver to drive and find the best jade shop in the city, and if it was a market like Jade Street, it would be even better.

Yun Kang has some expectations for jade in his heart, if he can't find the best nephrite, he can make do with the old pit jade, and he can barely break through the first order.

There are many types of jade, but it can be divided into two categories: nephrite and jadeite, the most famous of which is jadeite, which is produced in Yunnan, Myanmar, and the representative of nephrite is Xinjiang Hetian jade. Most of the ancient jade that is more than hundreds of years old is nephrite, which is the best material for immortal cultivators to absorb aura.

Immortal cultivators practice the three treasures of human essence, qi, and gods, especially the requirements for "qi" are very high, and the qi stored in jade is very abundant, especially nephrite, which contains the strongest aura.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records the functions of nephrite: "In addition to stomach heat, wheezing and irritation, nourishing hair, nourishing the five organs, softening muscles and bones, quenching thirst, moistening the heart and lungs, helping the voice and throat, calming the soul, benefiting the blood and blood, brightening the ears and eyes." ”

Nephrite jade can be used to maintain health and cure diseases, and regulate the breath. If a low-level immortal cultivator does not have a spirit stone to cultivate, he can also use nephrite and jade instead, but after breaking through to the high level, the jade aura is not enough for cultivation, and he must find other ores that contain spiritual energy.

"Do you want to buy jade? Say it early, my brother is clear about this industry, what kind of jade do you want, old material or new material, Xiuyu, jade, Huanglongyu, which one do you want to find, the matter of identifying and picking materials is wrapped up in my brother." Chen Jingye patted his chest and said.

The old material he said refers to ancient jade, and the new material is modern jade, Yunkang listened to him like an insider, so he asked him: "I want jade for health care, can you find it?" If Chen Jingye can help, it will save some trouble.

He can't directly say that cultivating with jade will be regarded as a neuropath, so he can only talk about health care.

"Health care?" Chen Economy stared at the little eyeballs, glanced at Yunkang, his eyes were very ambiguous, and he smiled: "Brother, it won't be a weak body, then you really have to get a piece of jade to raise it." Tell you, in addition to jade health, you can also wear gemstones, rubies and emeralds strengthen the kidneys and strengthen yang, amber cures depression, white jade cures mania, turquoise detoxifies and clears fire, why don't you have a piece of everything?"

Chen Economy smiled with a thief on his face, his small eyes narrowed, Yun Kang looked very strong, and he couldn't see that he was weak. People really can't just look at the appearance, this kid is full of muscles, and the inside may be cotton wool.

Yunkang didn't talk nonsense and joked with him, he had a piece of everything, and he was covered with gems, thinking it was to decorate the Christmas tree. He doesn't like to wear gems and jade, he only uses the aura inside, and when he absorbs all the aura, the remaining waste stones can be thrown directly.

Although some gemstones can also increase aura, store vitality, and nourish essence. For example, amethyst, quartz, sapphire, malachite, and turquoise were all materials for alchemy in ancient times. But compared to jade, the number of gems is too small, and it can't absorb much aura at once.

So if you want to break through the first layer of qi refining tonight, you have to find some nephrite jade and jadeite, and it would be better if you had ancient jade.

"Brother Economy, I can't see it, have you ever played with jade? Can you help find a piece of ancient jade, I heard that ancient jade cures diseases and wards off evil spirits, and wearing it is the most healthy on the body." Yun Kang pretended to be casual and said.

"Brother has not only played with jade, but also reversed, you want ancient jade, you really found the right person. Since I am so fateful, I will tell you about my brother's entrepreneurial history. As soon as Chen Economy opened the chatterbox, he couldn't hold it, and Yun Kang was secretly surprised when he heard it, he couldn't imagine that he was a small agent who had done this kind of business before.

Chen Jingye left his ancestral pharmacy and the first business he mixed was the jade industry. Ten years ago, jadeite was popular, and the jadeite in the southwest was very hot, and the gambling stone industry was also booming.

Chen Jingjing has just entered this industry, very cautious, although he is not highly educated, but he is good at learning, knowing that interlacing is like a mountain, if there is no eyesight and hard knowledge, it is indispensable to be slaughtered.

So he calmed down, spent more than a month, and concentrated on reading many books on jade, and finally had a unique opinion on jade, and felt more and more that gambling on stone was very unreliable.

Gambling stone gambling is mainly jadeite, is a kind of jadeite, if you bet on a good stone, buy a good price of more than 10 million is a common thing.

However, Chen Economy expressed doubts about this, what is so good about jadeite, and is it really that valuable? He read a book saying that the ancients liked jade because jade could absorb rui qi and ward off evil spirits. Some jade is very precious and made into all kinds of exquisite utensils, and emperors, concubines, dignitaries and nobles are eager to go.

Chen Economy was very curious about what kind of jade the ancients said, he checked a lot of books, and finally found an amazing phenomenon, the jade used by the ancients was nephrite.

He was surprised to discover this truth, and later he came across a book that said: "Before the 18th century, the Chinese did not know about jadeite. Later, jadeite was imported into China from Myanmar through Yunnan. Russian geologists pointed out that the secondary jadeite mines in Myanmar were discovered in 1871 and have been mined for more than 100 years and have not been mined. However, pre-Ming jadeite has not yet been found in China from court treasures and excavated cultural relics. ”

Chen Jingye began to wonder again, the ancient books before the Tang Dynasty did record such a thing as "jadeite", what was going on? Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, and his heart itched, and he had to understand it.

In order to solve the mystery of jadeite, he went to the Institute of Geology several times, grinding hard bubbles, and asked an old professor to help solve his doubts.

In the end, the old professor was moved by his research spirit, and patiently told him that the "jadeite" written in the book in ancient times was actually jasper in nephrite, which was different from the jadeite spoken of today. Most of these jasper are produced in Xinjiang, from Zhang Heng's "Xijing Fu" to Ban Gu's "Xidu Fu", all of which call Xinjiang jasper "jade".

Chen Economy took a small notebook, wrote down everything the old professor said, and asked questions from time to time, which made the old professor even happier, so he told him a lot of knowledge about ancient jade.

The nephrite jade used by the ancients can maintain health and cure diseases, and can be channeled to ward off evil spirits. "In layman's terms, it is to use jade as a sacrificial tool to communicate with ghosts and gods.

In ancient times, the living ate jade, the dead wore jade clothes, and jade materials were added to alchemy, and nephrite was also used. For example, the mutton fat jade in Xinjiang is the white jade boutique in nephrite, as well as black jade and topaz, which are also very precious.

And today's gambling stones, Laokeng jadeite, are mainly produced in Myanmar in the southwest, and the time for introduction into the country is very short, and the jade that the ancients said is not a thing at all.

The old professor's words were like a flash of lightning, which suddenly opened Chen Economy's chaotic head, making him suddenly open, and he felt that the whole person was bright.

He vaguely sorted out one thing, now the value of jadeite jadeite is high, and it is expensive to sell, and it is all gambling stones, and the actual value is probably not higher than nephrite.

Chen Economy's family heirloom is a Chinese medicine shop, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he has a sense of reverence for ancient old objects, and always feels that the ancients have great wisdom. The ancients knew how to use jade to store health and store qi, attract gods and ward off disasters, and the nephrite material they valued must be a good thing.

In contrast, modern people are too impetuous and shallow, and they toss blindly without understanding anything. Some people fry gold, so they coax and fry, some people fry jade, and they coax up, and they don't know what the door is inside, and they don't understand what they are doing with that thing.

Chen Jingye secretly rejoiced, thanks to his cautious actions, and studied hard without shame, and touched the bottom of this jade business carefully, otherwise his eyes would be dark, and he would definitely be killed by the pit. The whole value is not good, and in the end, the money is gone, and once the jade gambling stone declines, only a bunch of useless tattered things will be left.

After comparative research, Chen Jingye firmly believes that ancient jade is more valuable, and no matter how good Burmese jadeite is, whether it is an old pit or a pit material, it is also a freshly mined thing, which is not as expensive as the jade handed down by the ancient ancestors.

Chen Jingye has such an idea, there is no problem in the first place, if he goes to Xinjiang to collect nephrite jade in a down-to-earth manner, and then comes back and resells it, he can also make a lot of money. But he likes to be clever and lazy, and he always wants to do a big deal once and for all, and then retire home to eat and drink spicy.

As a result, Chen Jingye had a crooked mind, Gu Yu is not easy to collect, and if he wants to do a big deal, he can't take the ordinary road.

He went to the northwest with a group of jade dealers to pour ancient jade, and these people did not take the right path, instigated Chen Jingye to join the gang, and went with them to the local temples to steal ancient jade for sacrifice.

Chen Economy did not hesitate at all, he himself has such a thief heart, but the courage of a thief alone is not enough, and now that he has a small partner to do it together, he suddenly geared up and was willing to go to the front line.

In the process of stealing ancient jade in the temple, Chen Jingye kept his own selfish intentions and secretly took two pieces of jade gui and jade wat.

There was no danger when they retreated all the way, but they accidentally leaked their money, and the jade in their private collection was discovered, and a group of people shared the spoils unevenly, so they slammed each other to death. Among them, Chen Economy was the most unlucky, and the dealers of his accomplices bullied him and joined him, beat him severely, and snatched away the jade and capital from him.

At this time, Chen Jingye knew that he had been miserably trapped, and this group of people was not jade dealers at all, but robbers who robbed homes and houses. He dragged a wound back home, recuperated for two weeks, and heard that all the people who stole the ancient jade were arrested, and all of them were caught, and none of them ran away.

Chen Jingye was scared into a cold sweat, but fortunately he was robbed and broke up with them in advance, so he was not at the scene of the police's arrest, otherwise he would have eaten in prison with these grandsons.

But he did participate in the theft of ancient jade this time, so he was restless every day, worried and fearful, hiding in Tibet, for fear that the police would come to the door.

It was easy to stay up for more than half a year, and the rumors finally passed, and Chen Jingye only turned around at this time and carefully pondered the business matter. It seems that the danger of buying and selling jade is too high, ordinary jade is not valuable, gambling on stones to sell jadeite is easy to be eye-catching, and it is illegal to pour ancient jade, there is really no easy way to make a fortune.

So he made a quick decision to give up the jade business and never set foot in this business again.

Although he did not do business, he retained his knowledge about ancient jade. I had nothing to do to drink two glasses of wine with the old professor, and talked about the allusions of the ancients using jade.

The old professor was very pleased that there were young people who were interested in jade culture, which was a good material for cultivation. If he knew that this kid used the jade knowledge he had learned to steal ancient jade, he would have to have a heart attack.

Of course, Chen Economy will not show his bottom to others, but only pretends to be a devout jade lover and has a hot fight with the old professor. He himself occasionally walked around the jade market, and when he saw those people who gambled on stones, he smiled faintly, and he felt like a person who came over lightly.

After Chen Economy finished talking about his legendary experience, Yunkang admired him a little, and he didn't expect him to spend so much money in order to do jade business.

"These are all things of the past, at that time, I was young and could toss, and I went to the northwest to squat, not to mention how hard it was, but fortunately, the foundation was good enough, the body was tough, and I could stand up without eating or drinking for a few days. Chen Economy talked about the past with complacency, and couldn't help but start bragging again.

The driver driving in front of him kept looking at him from the rearview mirror, Chen Jingye wore a black top hat and two mustaches, and looked like a pimp, and no one believed him in the "legends" he said.

The driver pouted, this guy can really blow, blowing all the way, and the cowhide is about to blow him out.

However, there are often people who like to brag about the taxi passengers, and the driver is not surprised or evaluated. He turned the steering wheel, stopped on the side of the road, and said calmly: "The jade market has arrived, while it is not closed yet, the two of you hurry up and pick up something." ”

Yunkang gave the fare and got out of the car with Chen Economy. The two walked a few steps forward, looked up, and saw that there was a large antique archway with carved beams and paintings at the door, and a few large characters inlaid with gold were written on the horizontal plaque: "Jinghua Jade Market." ”
