Chapter 53: A Small Shop Selling Rough Stones

Chunyang Road in the center of T City is home to the city's largest antiquities and jade market.

Liu Zhao slowly showed his figure in a remote street. At this time, Xiaoqing also crawled out of the backpack and wrapped it around her wrist.

The market is a long pedestrian street lined with shops with antiques that are hard to distinguish between real and fake.

The outside of the shop is also filled with various jade and wooden handicrafts. The side streets are bustling with pedestrians, and everyone goes wherever there are more people.

Most of Liu Zhao's toys when she was a child were antiques at home, so although she didn't have much research on antiques, she still knew by her intuition that she could distinguish between genuine and fake.

"Oops, the stuff sold here smells so bad!" Xiaoqing secretly stuck her head out of Liu Zhao's cuffs, and complained while looking at the crowded stalls and crowds.

"Do you think that a good jade is Chinese cabbage, and you can buy it anywhere?" Liu Zhao squatted on the ground, looking among all kinds of dyed inferior stones.

"There are no good-smelling stones, they are all stinky things!" Xiaoqing touched Liu Zhao's wrist with his head, "Let's go, there won't be good jade here at all!" ”

Liu Zhao nodded in agreement, she gave up her plan to pick up leaks at the roadside stall. After all, the probability of the legendary thing happening is too small!

Today's weather is a bit cloudy, and the cold winds characteristic of autumn are blowing everything down. Fallen leaves are blown by the wind and flutter down the streets.

Today is not a holiday in the first place, plus the weather is cold. It's almost noon, and there are fewer and fewer people hanging out here.

Liu Zhao was attracted by the advertising sign in front of a small shop, a one-person-tall sign that read: Jade Rough Monopoly.

It can be seen that this is a newly opened shop, because T City is basically a store that deals in finished jadeite products, and it is really rare to sell rough stones.

Walking into the store of less than ten square meters, the owner is a middle-aged man with a dark face.

"Girl, pick a rough stone, if you're lucky, you can make a good jadeite." The typical Henan accent, coupled with the smile on the owner's face, makes people feel a little good.

"The stones I have here are all from Yunnan, you see, the color is good!" Liu Zhao looked east and west with great interest, which made the shopkeeper sell the stones in the store even harder.

The shop is small but clean, and the walls are lined with shelves of rough jadeite stones of all prices.

"I don't know about rough stones, so I saw that your things here are different from others, so I'll come in and take a look." Liu Zhao was originally hanging out, and seeing that man was so enthusiastic, he was really a little unbearable.

"Hey, it's a guest when you come in, you can look at it casually!" The shopkeeper saw that Liu Zhao was wearing casual clothes, with a simple canvas bag behind his back, dressed as a student. knew that Liu Zhao was not a rich man, so he dispelled the idea of making a big deal.

But the shopkeeper was still enthusiastic to introduce Liu Zhao to various gambling skills, such as the entrance of the field, the python belt, the wings of flies and other common sense. Anyway, today's business is deserted, and being idle is idle, and it's good to be able to chat with beautiful women.

And Liu Zhao followed the introduction of the shopkeeper, picked up a stone from time to time to look at it, and then put it down.

"None of the stones here are delicious!" Xiaoqing took advantage of Liu Zhao's stroking of the stone, casually sniffed the stone in her hand, and complained to Liu Zhao angrily.

Looking at the shopkeeper's appearance, he didn't care much about whether Liu Zhao could buy his rough stone, Liu Zhao smiled at the shopkeeper: "You have been talking for a long time, I don't understand a word, I'd better go to another house to have a look!" ”

The smile of the beautiful woman is always very lethal, although the shopkeeper did not make a business, but there is no look of care, he sent Liu Zhao to the door, and said with a sincere smile: "There will be a new rough stone arriving next month, and you will come back then!" ”

Liu Zhao turned around to say goodbye to the shopkeeper, but he didn't pay attention to the tall billboard in front of the store for a while, and kicked the sign down.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Liu Zhao apologized while holding up the sign and wanted to replay it. But no matter how she placed it, the sign just couldn't stand.

"I'll do it! It's windy today, so I have to use this stone to press under the sign. The middle-aged shopkeeper walked out of the store, took out a gray-black stone from behind the door, and pressed it against the metal stand of the sign.

Liu Zhao suddenly stopped walking towards the side street, his eyes constantly staring at the ugly stone that was twice the size of a basketball.

A golden halo shrouded the surface of the stone, and of course this halo was not visible to ordinary people.

"Boss, do you know which jadeite on this street is genuine?" Liu Zhao hid the surprise in his eyes, and Danfeng's eyes smiled into two crescents, "I want to buy a bracelet, but I don't know much about it." ”

"On this street, in the early years, it was basically A goods. But now the upstream suppliers are cheating, there is no way, everyone sells real and fake, it depends on the buyer's eyesight. ”

Obviously, Liu Zhao's smile touched the shopkeeper, and he whispered to Liu Zhao: "If you want to buy the real thing, I suggest you go to a regular jewelry store." Although the things there are expensive, the quality is guaranteed. ”

"Thank you, uncle! You're busy, I won't bother! Liu Zhao nodded vigorously and waved goodbye to the shopkeeper.

"Hey, this little girl is lucky to have met me, or she would have to buy a fake!" The shopkeeper looked at Liu Zhao's slender back, shook his head and muttered to himself.

Liu Zhao looked idler, turned to the corner of the small street, and whispered to Xiaoqing on her wrist: "Hey, whatever you become, buy me the stone at the door of that store." ”

"Is that the one you looked at with your Divine Sense?" As Xiaoqing spoke, the turquoise mist rose. The image of Qi Shan wearing exaggerated harem pants and a plush jacket appeared in front of Liu Zhao's eyes.

"Hehe, if Qi Shan sees himself like this, he has to turn his back on it! This small head shape is quite punk-style! Liu Zhao said and dragged a few strands of short hair standing on Xiaoqing's head with his hand.

"I don't smell anything of the broken stones, huh? What do you want that to do? Besides, why didn't you just buy it yourself? Qi Shan's eyes were rolling with a standard Xiaoqing expression.

"Don't you think it's weird to look at me as a little girl, to buy such a stone to press a billboard? Besides, I can't move such a heavy thing under normal circumstances, right? ”

"Be careful not to stretch out your letter for a moment, do you hear?" Liu Zhao said as he put a stack of money into the pocket of Xiaoqing's wide vest.

"Got it!" Xiaoqing waved his fingerless leather gloved hand at Liu Zhao and walked towards the shop with a stagger.
