Chapter 101: Mutation
When Yunxi and Zhan Wenlan took a plane to London, they encountered a rare sunny day, which was definitely a rare good weather in this city that is almost characterized by continuous rain.
The jewels and jade exhibitions are not held in a luxury hotel, but in a large, almost labyrinthine convention center. Jewelers from all over the world have set up their booths a few days before the exhibition, and they only need to ship the treasures on the day of the exhibition.
As someone who "made a fortune" in London, he took advantage of the jewelry show before it began, leading Yunxi to stride leisurely and lazily through the streets and alleys in this busy city. Sometimes it's in front of the top old fashion brands, and sometimes it's just a small shop standing in the alleyway, quietly sipping a cup of coffee.
They are not people who talk much, most of the time, Zhan Wenlan always stands aside, watching her quietly feel the city alone.
She tilted her ears sideways, sometimes as if listening to the wind, those ethereal eyes were slightly closed, the corners of her mouth were faintly raised, every time, he saw her like this, he couldn't help but gently hold her in his arms, his chin gently against her ear, his heart fitted, and he felt the sound beating in the same rhythm.
Many people pass by and can't help but stop. These two people, one is as clear as spring water, the other is as warm as ancient jade, there is clearly no strong breath, no entangled and bright bewitchment, but people can't take their eyes off it.
Freed from the heavy academic pressure of school, Yunxi has not been so relaxed for a long time. Occasionally, you can see passers-by and tourists in a hurry at the intersection, carrying luggage, crossing from one end to the other, queuing up to shop or pose to take pictures, making all kinds of "visit here" looks, and then hurriedly looking at the time on the mobile phone or watch and leaving in a hurry. Wandering around, whether it is a high-end club with luxurious clothes and fragrant sideburns, or a bustling and lively bazaar, he takes her with him, and it seems that there will never be a place to go. Time passed quickly before she knew it, and before she could get enough of it, the jewelry show had officially begun.
The first day of the exhibition is always the most lively and popular time, because of Marilyn &8226; Monroe's sentence in the film "Marry a Millionaire" "Diamonds are a woman's best friend", since then, countless women have embarked on the road of no return obsessed with diamonds. At some point, the diamond craze has spread to all kinds of jewelry curiosities, and nowadays, even antiques have become a hot spot for hipsters.
Diamonds, rubies, pearls, agate, jadeite...... In addition to the crowds, the most overwhelming thing here is these priceless jewels.
Here, you can see Arabs wearing all kinds of curiosities in their hands, walking through the booths with a critical eye, and you can also see well-dressed ladies staring at a certain counter with a snooping eye.
Security guards are connected side by side, standing near each booth in case of any emergency, and the exhibitor is showing his most "sincere" smile to greet every potential customer.
Yunxi and Zhan Wenlan walked for almost half an hour before they only walked around a corner of the exhibition.
Just as he was wondering why the crowd in the northwest corner was so dense, a thick Cambridge cavity came from behind. I listened carefully, and it turned out to be a few adjacent booth leaders and a young man talking.
"Why didn't the people at booth C16 come today? Yesterday, I saw him come to the venue to arrange today's booth. β
"You don't know? I heard that an interesting place was found in the suburbs, and the instrument survey found that it was actually a mining area, but it is not clear what kind of ore it is, and the exhibitors of C16 said hello to the organizers early this morning and did not come to participate, according to me, they should have gone to the suburbs to see the mining area. β
"Mines? Over here? God, this is London. The man's voice was visibly incredulous and sneering.
"Who knows? Perhaps, there really is a miracle in the world. Seeing that there were more and more crowds around them, the people around them gradually stopped chatting and returned to the booth to start their work.
Zhan Wenlan stood behind Yunxi, and when she saw the clear light in her eyes flashing away, she couldn't help but smile sideways, her breath brushed her neck, hooking a few strands of hair and scattering, attracting her to glance back.
"Would you like to check it out?" With so many people around, even if there is any good jewelry, it will not be seen today, so it is better to go out and breathe.
Yunxi was already a little moved when he listened to those people talking, and then looked at the posture of this crowd, he didn't hesitate at all, turned around and left.
First take the subway, then drive for two hours to the place where the rumored "ore" was dug up. When I went, I found that it was just a small hill surrounded by a field, and the halfway point had been opened, and people were going in and out of it, but unfortunately, although I could see these as far as the eye could see, there were already many people surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Yunxi and Zhan Wenlan couldn't squeeze in at all.
Many people were talking in whispers with their voices lowered, their expressions flickering, almost a kind of madness. The noise outside became smaller and smaller as time passed, and just when Yunxi felt that it was not interesting, an astonishing cheer suddenly erupted in the entire enclosed "mining area". The voice was as if something extremely shocking had suddenly appeared in front of me, and the surprise and surprise could not be concealed at all.
However, the crowd was so crowded that after the cheers broke out, the "mining area" was even more crowded, and there was not even a single crack.
Yunxi and Zhan Wenlan glanced at each other, and an indescribable sense of tension suddenly filled the air, and all the people on the periphery were looking, no one spoke, as if they were all waiting for a signal.
At this moment, a sudden laughter came from the center of the "mining area", and the sound almost shook everyone's hearts with the excitement and ecstasy rarely shown by English gentlemen.
"There you have, you really have! Look, it's jadeite, jade! β
As this sound spread all around, Yunxi only felt that the surroundings were silent, as if falling into an ice cave, and the next moment, all the onlookers instantly burst out with a shocking shout: "Look! It's really a jadeite! β
This is a real miracle.
You must know that jadeite, the main component mineral of jadeite, is monoclinic crystal system, and the primary ore is usually produced in three states, one is the mountain material, that is, it is produced in the primary ore on the mountain, and the ore is usually lumpy, angular and angular, and the mineral composition, structure, and color distribution are exposed. The second is the seed material, which is formed by the long weathering and flowing water movement of mountain material, usually as a water-eroded pebble, wrapped in a skin shell on the outside, and difficult to judge the internal mineral composition, structure, and color distribution. There is also a kind of mountain flowing water, between the mountain material and the seed material, which is not far away from the weathering and denudation, and is produced in the jadeite gravel in the residual slope deposit.
It's just a small hill, and it's incredible to find such a mining area. Besides, jadeite mining so close to London is rarely found, and if it is true, the commercial value is completely incomparable.
The timing of this discovery is also wonderful, it coincides with the International Jewelry Exhibition, countless connoisseurs gather here, and after hearing the news, they will definitely flock to it, but unfortunately they can't come forward to see what the color is, Yunxi can't help but hook his lips.
Seeing that many people are holding mobile phones and starting to dial non-stop, the eyes of the media people in ambush are shining darkly, and the unrealistic idea of waiting for the crowd to disperse is absolutely impossible. The people here will only accumulate more and more, Yunxi shook his head, ready to leave.
At this moment, a voice that could never have appeared here suddenly came from the very center of the "mining area"!
"Don't rob! Don't rob it! It's mine! β
The voice was full of laughter, and although it was angry, it couldn't hide the hidden joy. This is a surprise when a treasure is found, and it is a kind of surprise that is overjoyed.
Yunxi raised his eyebrows, and seeing that Zhan Wenlan also showed a rare expression that was not calm, he was helpless, sighed secretly, and finally let out a sigh.
βeseοΌβ As the voice fell, there were strange sounds in the "mining area" one after another?
βofcourseοΌβ Naturally, it is a matter of course.
This man....
Yunxi couldn't help but hold his forehead, almost laughing secretly.
Zhan Wenlan glanced at her, and helplessly stretched out his hands to circle her: "I'm sorry, it was our friend who just spoke, please let me go, thank you." β
Why? You know the people inside and you can get in? We've been squeezing for so long to make way for you? Besides, who knows if the people inside know you or not? We believe what you say?
It's a pity that these words were swallowed back into their mouths after they saw the faces of the two people clearly.
These two people are obviously dressed up easily, without any fancy decorations, which makes people feel like they are in a hall full of gold and jade, how can there be such a person in such a flashy era?
Just when they were surprised, Zhan Wenlan escorted Yunxi all the way through the crowd and went straight to the center of the "mining area".
Facing the stunned expression of the person inside, both of them were speechless: "Lao Jin, didn't you return to China?" β
"Who said you can't come back if you go home?" Gilding, who had recovered from his sluggishness, rolled his eyes, and thought to himself Seeing that the two of you are almost in honey and don't leave, then my cultivation can really be compared to the King of Fudo.
"Why did you come here to watch someone else mine?" has long been accustomed to the fact that his roommates are all wonderful, and Yunxi has become accustomed to following their train of thought and changing directions.
"Xiaobai left me a text message asking me to come to the UK to find her." Gilt looked at Yunxi in surprise: "I thought you knew, why, she didn't tell you?" β
Xiaobai? Situ Bai, who has not been heard from since, finally has news .......
Yunxi slowly narrowed his eyes, but Lao Jin couldn't understand the love in his eyes. For a moment, she even suspected that Yunxi was looking into the void through the person in front of her.
