Luzhou, also known as Luyang, is located in East China, between the Jianghuai River, and is environmentally friendly Chaohu Lake. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt is connected to Chuzhou and Ma'anshan in the east, Wuhu and Anqing in the south, Lu'an in the west, and Huainan in the north. It is the core city of the Wanjiang urban belt, the sub-central city of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, an important scientific research and education base, a modern manufacturing base and a comprehensive transportation hub.

This is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years, known as the "hometown of the Three Kingdoms, the hometown of Bao Zheng", and has given birth to a series of historical celebrities such as Zhou Yu and Li Hongzhang.

Although Meng Xiaowei was born in Jiaocheng, she spent her student years in Luzhou, which is her second home and knows every corner of Luzhou well.

After eating a high-end dinner at a high-end restaurant, Meng Xiaowei wanted to treat her, but the bill was paid in advance by Qin Fan.

Although Qin Fan knew that Meng Xiaowei was Bai Fumei, who was born with a golden key, and she was not bad at all, he was still not used to letting girls pay.

Qin Fan's character is like this, a bit machismo in some aspects, but it is by no means a straight male cancer as many feminists in later generations have claimed.

"My classmate called me, the store is in Huaihe Road Commercial Street, a little far from here, let's take a taxi." Meng Xiaowei answered a phone call and called a taxi to pull Qin Fan all the way in the direction of the commercial street.

It's a coincidence, the pawnshop that Qin Fan is going to is also near the commercial street, but they all got together.

Twenty minutes later, the two took a taxi to Huaihe Road Commercial Street, and according to the address given by Meng Xiaowei, they searched for a long time, and finally found a shop selling jade and jade on the fifth floor of a shopping mall.

As soon as he entered this shop, Qin Fan vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The location of this jade shop is very remote, basically no customers will pass by, the store is also very small, only twenty or thirty square meters, and the lights in the jade shop are a little dim, which makes people very uncomfortable to look at.

Meng Xiaowei didn't notice anything wrong, and walked towards the jade shop with her feet up.

"Wait, don't you think there's something wrong with the jade shop here?"

"What's wrong, I look pretty good." Meng Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Qin Fan meant.

Qin Fan lowered his voice and patiently explained to her, "First of all, the location of this jade shop is too remote, you can see that the surrounding stores are closed, but he is the only one who is open, as if he is waiting for us." Also, don't you think the lights in this store are too dim, and you can't open your eyes when you go to the regular jade shop. ”

"I'm afraid this store might be boring."

Meng Xiaowei waved her hand and said, "You think too much, how can my classmates introduce me to the black store." I haven't seen anything yet, so I'll talk about it when I see it. ”

Qin Fan is embarrassed, whether it is in the antique business or the trading of jade and jade, he must be as careful as a hair, like Meng Xiaowei, who has a big grinning and naïve character, he must not take eye medicine and be slaughtered as a fat sheep.

At the first glance of this jade shop, Qin Fan felt that they might be blind this time.

"Xiaowei, you're here."

At this time, a young man with combed hair and a brand-name shirt walked out enthusiastically, but when he saw Qin Fan standing beside Meng Xiaowei, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"Who is this?"

"He was my friend Qin Fan, who met by chance in the car. Qin Fan also has a little research on jadeite and jade, so I asked him to take a look at that piece of jadeite together, Ma Liang, you won't mind. ”

Ma Liang looked at Qin Fan carefully, and saw that he was about the same age as Meng Xiaowei, and he should also be a student in school, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise with a touch of disdain.

He didn't believe that with Qin Fan's age, he could have any research on jadeite, and it was Meng Xiaowei who didn't worry about trading alone, so he asked Qin Fan to accompany him.

"Of course I don't mind, Xiaowei's friend is my friend of Ma Liang, please come inside."

Ma Liang introduced Qin Fan and Meng Xiaowei with an enthusiastic face, and took them into the jade shop with a familiar face, it seemed that he should be very familiar with this shop.

"You guys take a seat first, this is the owner of this shop, Li Youquan."

At this time, a middle-aged man with a thin body and gold-rimmed glasses walked out and enthusiastically poured tea for the two.

"Boss Li, you don't need to drink tea, we came to see the jadeite, I don't know where the jadeite is?"

Ma Liang and Li Youquan's excessive enthusiasm and hypocrisy made Meng Xiaowei sense that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she asked.

"No problem, I've been ready for Jade for a long time. Xiao Wu, quickly take out that piece of jade pixiu [pixiu] and show it to the guests. ”

The young man with a fixed head who had been silent in the jade shop, as wooden as a stone, answered, took out a piece of jade in a brocade box from the cabinet behind him, and handed it to Meng Xiaowei.

"Miss Meng, this piece of jadeite is an authentic Burmese jadeite, you look at this water head, this color, it is definitely a high-grade jadeite."

Meng Xiaowei didn't know much about jadeite, but she had heard from Mr. Meng about the standards for identifying high-grade jadeite.

When buying jadeite, there is a jargon called "a two-color three-process, bracelet to see the species, pendant to see the color", species, color and process are the three basic elements of the selection of jadeite.

To look at the water is to see the ability of jadeite to pass through visible light, that is, transparency. The grade of the water is from high to low, and the order is Laokeng glass species, water species, ice species, ice glutinous species, glutinous species and other species.

The best jadeite must be mainly yang green, the stronger the color and the fresher the yang, the higher the value of the jadeite.

The third look at the process, a high-grade jadeite carving, half of the material. In other words, the value of jadeite raw materials and carving techniques is divided into half.

Meng Xiaowei's eyes were a little sour when she looked at the light, and the piece of jade Pixiu that Li Youquan took out looked at the material, the transparency was very good, and the color was also very strong, it was authentic apple green, and it was a high-grade jade at a glance, and there was no flaw in it.

"Miss Meng, are you still satisfied with this piece of jade Pixiu?" Li Youquan was full of smiles, but his expression was a little impatient.

"Not bad, right?" Meng Xiaowei is also a little unsure, although this jadeite is undoubtedly a high-grade jadeite in any way, but I don't know why she is still a little uneasy.

"Miss Meng, you are Ma Liang's friend, I'll give you a discount, I'll give you an auspicious number for this jade Pixiu, 80,008, what do you think?"

"Xiaowei, this jade pixiu is very sought-after, if you miss it, it will be gone next time." Ma Liang fanned the flames on the side, urging Meng Xiaowei to buy this piece of jade Pixiu.

Meng Xiaowei hesitated for a while, and then turned her eyes to Qin Fan, who was sitting beside her and drinking tea with peace of mind, "Don't drink tea, come and help me see how this piece of jade is." ”

At this time, Ma Liang and Li Youquan's eyes were both focused on Qin Fan, seeing if he could name a flower.

"What do you think?"

Qin Fan didn't answer directly, but asked Meng Xiaowei with a smile.

"I think it should be high-grade jadeite, and the carving is also good." Meng Xiaowei said a little unconfidently, "Why are you still asking about me?" Don't sell it, talk about it. ”

Qin Fan drank a cup of tea, pointed to this piece of jade Pixiu and said unhurriedly, "I'll just do the opposite, let's start with the carver." ”

"This is carved Pixiu, a kind of mythical beast with a mouth and no anus in Pixiu folk myths and legends, and it is also one of the five ancient Rui beasts. Because it has a mouth without anus, it can swallow the world's treasures without leaking, and it is only in and out of the supernatural powers, so it has the implication of attracting wealth and entering the treasure and absorbing the wealth of the Quartet, so it is called the Fortune Beast. ”

In fact, in addition to the effect of attracting wealth and entering the treasure, Pixiu also has the effect of warding off evil spirits, suppressing the house, and turning Tai Sui. In ancient times, from emperors to ordinary people, they were very fond of collecting and wearing Pixiu jewelry. ”

Li Youquan and Ma Liang didn't expect that the young man brought by Meng Xiaowei would really be able to say something, and their expressions suddenly became a little nervous.

"Hehe, the little brother really has insight, this piece of jade Pixiu is from the master's hand, you see how delicate this carving is."

Qin Fan glanced at this piece of jade Pixiu, and said slowly, "As for the craftsmanship of this Pixiu, it is not vivid enough after a rough look, it does not reflect the charm of the Rui Beast, it is very rigid, and the carving is okay, so-so." ”

Li Youquan was caught off guard by Qin Fan and laughed twice with an embarrassed face.

"Looking at its material, the water head is good, the transparency is high, the color is also very strong, and the distribution is extremely even, without any flaws."

Hearing Qin Fan say this, Li Youquan and Ma Liang's hanging hearts finally let go, and they gave a thumbs up and boasted, "Little brother's eyesight is really good, this piece of jade was bought by me in Myanmar for a lot of money, and it is definitely a high-end product." ”

Meng Xiaowei glanced at Qin Fan in surprise, when he first entered the store, he also reminded himself to be careful that there was a cat in it, how could he boast of this piece of jade in a blink of an eye.

"Then you say, is this jade Pixiu worth 80,000?" Meng Xiaowei didn't know much about the jade market, looked at Qin Fan and asked.

"88,000?" Qin Fan sneered, "I look at this thing, it's not even worth 88 yuan, and it can be sold for 8 yuan at most on the stall." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Liang and Li You were all stunned, looking incredulous. Even Meng Xiaowei was confused, not knowing what kind of medicine Qin Fan's gourd was selling.
