3.14 Jade pickers in the mountains

At the end of one's spiritual journey, not only did I reap the unexpected joy, but I also had a unique taste of painting during the journey. I have to say that compared to the same paintings in a fixed living space, the brushes when facing nature seem to have changed differently. With such a happy mood, Ning Qiao met the legendary king of nephrite, Mr. Jiang.

"Miss Ning is young and promising! I've heard Xiao Kunzi say that compared to me, an old man who has been playing with jade for half his life, Miss Ning's gambling stone level is not much better! Old Man Jiang praised Ning Qiao with a smile, and Tang Fat Man was on the side. Compared to Ning Qiao, he had already come to the old man to escape the summer, and of course, he was also a striker for EQ Zhuyu.

Speaking of which, since Tang Fatzi became a shareholder of EQ Zhuyu, the company's development has been expanding in a high-tech express manner, and he originally thought it would be good to be profitable in two to three years, but he didn't expect to be surprised as soon as it came up. It's a deal that's worth it. So everything related to the company, Tang Fatzi is unusually concerned.

"Grandpa Jiang praised it falsely, we are all petty fights, even if you want to gamble on stones, you have to be willing to take stones for us to gamble!" Ning Qiao replied to Jiang Lao's compliment with a smile, and followed the fat man to call the old man grandpa, which can be regarded as a set.

Jiang Lao listened to Ning Qiao's words, obviously liked this obvious sycophant very much, he had been slapped by people for the rest of his life, but only today this little girl won his heart. In the final analysis, it depends on the appearance. Jiang Lao, who knew the thoughts of the juniors very well, did not hold them back to drink tea with him anymore, but found a team for Ning Qiao to enter the mountain and played with her.

As for the fat man, he can't play this kind of body-consuming activity, anyway, he has to talk to the old man about the next distribution of raw materials as a representative of EQ Zhuyu, and the fat man simply stayed in Jiang Lao's villa, which was dry and dry, and the villa was just cool.

The team that Jiang Lao found for Ning Qiao to go into the mountains to collect jade were all experienced and good players. In recent years, with the deepening of the development of jade mines in the mountains, the work of jade mining has become more and more difficult to do. There are fewer and fewer new jade miners, and this ancient industry is probably about to disappear at the top of this Tianshan Mountain.

Because of the king of nephrite, several people in the jade mining team took good care of Ning Qiao. They make a living by mining jade in Neijiang, all under the care of the king of nephrite, which can be said to be begging for a living under the king of nephrite. In the face of the person asked by the king of nephrite, of course, he did his best, for fear that Ning Qiao would make a little mistake and not explain it to Old Man Jiang.

However, after actually hitting the road, the jade picking team found that Ning Qiao, the pampered eldest lady, seemed to survive in the mountains more neatly than them who came out of the mountains, and the person introduced by the king of nephrite jade was indeed not to be underestimated.

The profession of jade miners has been passed down from ancient times in the Neijiang River Basin, and people who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains rely on the knowledge of finding and distinguishing jade passed down from generation to generation to collect these beautiful jade ores in exchange for living expenses. For the older generation of jade pickers, jade harvesting is not only a means of subsistence for them, but also a tradition inherited from father to son. Worship the mountain and worship the gods, and ask for protection. Don't look back, jade pickers.

followed the jade picking team to complete the ceremony and farewell before the trip, and compared with the relatively quiet scenery, it seemed that the moving humanity touched her more deeply. She is here to play, so the work of jade mining is more about experiencing the ancient jade mining culture and the surprise of finding jade raw materials. For the rest of the team, however, it's a job that is tied to their livelihood.

After several days of high-intensity marching, they had left most of the other jade mining teams behind. Compared to the golden age in the past, it is much more difficult to find valuable jade. The thousands of years of experience handed down by our ancestors cannot withstand the roar of machines and explosives. It is difficult to say whether the development of modern technology is good or bad for this ancient land.

Speaking of which, a jade merchant like Ning Qiao could be considered to be a part of this destructive excavation. Thinking of this, Ning Qiao was also a little self-deprecating, even if she knew this, she still couldn't do anything, and even, if she could discover a new jade mine, she would happily join the development army. Even if she lives again, she is still not an all-powerful hero.

"Miss Ning, what do you think of this piece of wool? The eldest brother found it. The second baby in the team took a piece of wool to Ning Qiao and asked. These days, because Ning Qiao has a high ability to distinguish jade, and is right about the situation of jade in most of the rough stones, the people in the team have to come to her first to ask questions after picking jade, and according to her instructions, simply polish the jade to reduce the load.

"It's very good, the texture is delicate, and the estimated value is not low, grind it here, and it is estimated that your harvest will be enough for this trip." Ning Qiao lifted the stone and looked at it carefully. Speaking of which, the biggest gain for her in this visit is to really visit the evolution environment of jade in the real world, and she is more interested in the distribution and characteristics of these mining areas than gambling on stones.

"It's mutton fat white jade! Mutton fat white! Miss Ning is right, we sent it this time! Erwa grinded away the ore and shouted excitedly. When the people in the jade picking team heard his shout, they all gathered around, scrambling to pass on this valuable jade.

"It's really mutton fat white! My little baby has money to study! ”

"Big brother is so good! Good luck! Our trip was not in vain. ”

"Thank you Miss Ning, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have found such a good jade." The person who said this was the Dashuang who found this piece of wool, and the reason why they said this was because their route this time was different from the route they used to take because Ning Qiao wanted to inspect the mine. Unexpectedly, the harvest was very expensive. This time, it can be said that they can also be surprised by the old people who collect jade.

"It's nothing, it's all your work. Just don't bother me. Ning Qiao smiled and waved his hand, he was also happy that the jade picking team could have such a harvest, at least it didn't delay their livelihood because of her, which made Ning Qiao feel a lot more relaxed.

"Speaking of which, can the eldest brother take me to the place where you found this rough stone, maybe there are other good wool materials." Ning Qiao reminded everyone who was immersed in happiness with a smile, and after getting the unanimous consent of the jade mining team, they became excited one by one, wanting to find high-value jade.

Ning Qiao didn't think that he could still find mutton fat white, this kind of best product is not something that can be found if you want to find it, and you should kowtow and burn incense when you find a piece. She was curious, why is there such a high-quality jade here, is it possible, there is a vein mine nearby?

After being busy for a long time, although the people of the jade mining team did not find the best jade, some ordinary quality jade ore was still found by them, and everyone was relatively satisfied. They are all veterans of jade mining, and when they say that they are looking for good jade, they are just asking for a good fortune, and they all know how difficult this line of work is.

Knowing Ning Qiao's desire to observe the jade mine, the members of the jade mining team also specially planned relevant routes to help her find some stones near the waste mine. Anyway, their trip is enough, and they may not be able to find anything if they look for it again, so it is better to follow Ning Qiao, maybe there will be some surprises.

and the jade picking team went around the mountains and fields, and when he came back, Ning Qiao was also dusty, and Tang Fat almost didn't recognize it when he saw it, which shows the hard work, fortunately he didn't go!

"You think there's a new mine near that abandoned mine?" Old Man Jiang was surprised, he thought that Ning Qiao was trying to be fresh, and he wanted to experience the fun of picking jade with his own hands, but he didn't expect Ning Qiao to go to the mountains to look for mines?

"Yes, I'm not sure, but it's highly likely." Ning Qiao replied solemnly while drinking the top white tea from Jiang Lao, she also knew that the old man could not trust her judgment at once. After all, every year the old man has to go into the mountains to investigate, and he spends a lot of money on finding new mines, and it is not that she can get the old man's approval by saying a few words.

"My expedition team has also been in here, and I haven't found any new mines, so it can't be the remnants of the previous abandoned mines, right?" The old man said suspiciously.

"Unlikely, we are walking on a mountain path, and there is still some distance from the abandoned mining area. Most likely, crustal movement and migration. There is a new mine here that has not been discovered. If you don't believe it, you can be wholly owned by EQ Zhuyu in advance, just to really find a vein mine and be able to get a piece of the pie. Ning Qiao was not in a hurry and calmly threw out the conditions.

"Haha! I knew it was waiting for me right here! The old man smiled and shook his head, "I will take someone to take a closer look, if possible, we will pay half of each in advance, and the final income will give you thirty and a half percent." ”

"Then thank you Grandpa Jiang!" Ning Qiao smiled and nodded. Don't think that this is a low share, if it weren't for the king of nephrite, even if EQ Group wanted to spend money here, even if they found the jade ore, it wouldn't belong to them. In this ratio, the old man did not take advantage of them at all. In order to maintain his old man's status in Neijiang, it is also indispensable to mine jade ore and work up and down.

Being able to participate in this, in addition to Ning Qiaojian's sake, is more about Tang Fatzi's face. Otherwise, just look at so many jewelry companies in China, none of them can get a piece of the pie in the upper mines. It was a wise choice to agree to the fat man's share.

"That's right, we're all visionaries!" The fat man was not restrained in front of Jiang Lao, and made a cooperation plan in three or two, and praised himself.

"Tsk, this cheeky guy has the same virtue as your grandfather!" Jiang Lao glanced at the fat man, smacked his mouth, and sighed. "Alright, I'll send people into the mountains." After that, I got up and went to make a phone call, although I was old, I was also resolute in doing things.
