Chapter Forty-Eight: Yangnan Dushan Jade Field
Early in the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Qi said goodbye to his parents and went out, and after Zhao Qi walked out of the alley, he looked back and ran to the right, which was the direction of Caiyuxuan.
The eighth day of the first lunar month is the time when most of the units are open, and the firecrackers crackle along the way. By the time Zhao Qi came to the door of Caiyuxuan, Caiyuxuan had already opened and put up the artillery battle.
"Lao Wang? Brother Ding, where is the old king? In the lobby of Cai Yuxuan, only Xiao Ding was sitting in front of the door, and after hearing Zhao Qi's words, he was about to reply, when Lao Wang's voice came from the back garden.
"Oh, you're finally here, waiting for you for a long time. Let's go! Lao Wang pulled Zhao Qi and walked outside without saying anything.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It is not far from here to Nam Ha Province. ”
"Can you not be in a hurry? Today is the first day of opening there, and if you go late, there won't be any good goods. Come on! Listening to what Lao Wang said in such a hurry, Zhao Qi stopped rubbing and followed Lao Wang into a van parked at the door.
The van was empty, and there were only three people, the driver Zhao Qi didn't know, and Zhao Qi and Lao Wang.
"Xiao Qi, this is Zhao Quanyou, and you are still from my family. Every time I buy a car, I charter his car, and you can call him Brother Quanyou. Lao Wang pointed to the driver and said to Zhao Qi.
"Brother Quanyou, hello, my name is Zhao Qi." Zhao Qi smiled and said hello to Zhao Quanyou in front.
"Hehe, hello." Zhao Quanyou, who was a little wooden, was not very good at talking, and smiled at Zhao Qi.
"Lao Wang, where are you going to gamble?" The car drove out of the county seat, and Zhao Qi, who was sitting in the car, asked Lao Wang next to him.
"Don't make me mistake, I'm here to buy goods, not to gamble on stones, but I'm just taking you to see it by the way."
"Okay, okay, where are you going to buy goods?" Zhao Qi glanced at the old man impatiently.
"Go to Yangnan in Nanhe Province, it's closer over there."
Hui Province and Nanhe Province are neighbors, and Jin County is just the westernmost part of Hui Province, there is a river in a place called Xu Chong in Jin County, and across the river is Nanhe Province. So the distance is not very far, but Yangnan is in the center of Nanhe Province, you need to go from the Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway, the total distance is about 400 kilometers. Zhao Quanyou, the driver found by Lao Wang, is obviously a veteran who is used to driving at high speeds, and the speed is not slow, and it is estimated that it will take more than four hours to arrive.
The car departed at half past seven in the morning, and after Zhao Qi slept well, Bina had already arrived in Yangnan City.
"Ah, it's all here." I looked at the time, and it was only twelve o'clock in the morning.
"Let's go, we're in place." Lao Wang seemed to be in good spirits, and he didn't feel unwell after sitting in the car for more than four hours.
"That's it? How on the main road? Zhao Qi looked around, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a jade trading place.
"Stupid boy, I'm going to go to Dushan Jade Field in the suburbs of Yangnan, and now I'm going to have lunch when I get off the bus."
"I'm dizzy, I'll tell you earlier."
Lao Wang was quite generous, and came to a nearby high-grade restaurant and ordered a lot of dishes. After eating and drinking, the three of them got into the car and rushed to the Dushan Jade Field in Lao Wang's mouth.
Yangnan Dushan jade is one of the four famous jades in China, the other three are the "Hetian jade" in Xinjiang, the "turquoise" produced in Beihu Province and the "Xiuyu" produced in Xiuyan in Ningliao Province.
Along the way, Zhao Qi, who was holding on to the car window, saw a lot of big cars and small cars heading in the direction of Zhao Qi and them, needless to say, these should all come from all over the country to buy jade like Lao Wang.
"Lao Wang, do you need to bid to buy jade?" Zhao Qi turned his head and asked.
"I don't buy those high-grade jade, people like us who do small business have their own fixed purchase points, and only some particularly high-grade jade needs to be auctioned." Lao Wang explained.
The car slowly approached the Dushan Jade Field, and before entering the Dushan Jade Field, the vehicles on the road had formed a long queue.
"So many people?" Zhao Qi looked at the long queue in front of him that couldn't see the edge, and the vehicles that kept lining up behind his buttocks. Asked suspiciously.
"Today is the first day of opening, and everyone wants to get a good fortune, can there be not many people. Be patient, there's a dedicated parking lot over there, and you'll be able to leave in a while. Lao Wang seems to have seen such a scene many times, and he sat in the car unhurriedly and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Within a few minutes, as Lao Wang said, the vehicle began to move slowly, and half an hour later, Zhao Qi and the three finally entered the Dushan market.
After Zhao Quanyou parked the car, Lao Wang took Zhao Qi into the Dushan Jade Field from the side. As for Zhao Quanyou, he was sitting in the car.
"It's hilarious." Zhao Qi looked nervously at the large open-air stall set up at random in front of him. These stalls are filled with rough jade stones of different colors and sizes. In front of each stall, there are many people around the stall owner and bargaining.
"Lao Wang, are all these jade stones put out and sold like this?" Zhao Qi asked Lao Wang on the side.
"These are sold in bulk, after all, Yangnan Dushan jade is very famous, there are many tourists from other places will come to buy it, plus the local people are also very fond of jade. Jade merchants like us don't buy it at this stall. Lao Wang said but his footsteps did not stop, and he took Zhao Qi to a stall in a circle.
"Five sons!" Lao Wang shouted at the busy boss in front of the stall, this boss who was called Wuzi looked no different from an old man who worked in the countryside in Zhao Qi, and he couldn't tell that he was in the jade business at all.
"Yo, Elder Wang is here, I thought you wouldn't be able to come over until the afternoon, I'm too busy today to find time to pick you up, don't blame it." When the "fifth son" saw Lao Wang, he greeted him, handed over the stall to a young man next to him, and took Lao Wang and Zhao Qi to the house behind the stall.
"Don't be so polite, I need you to pick it up, I've been to this place so many times and I can't find it." Taking the big teapot handed over by the "five sons", Lao Wang said politely.
"Hehe, by the way, who is this little brother?" "Five sons" asked after nodding to Zhao Qi.
"It's one of my New Year's friends, you can call him Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, this is Boss Chen, the fifth oldest in the family. We all called him the Five Sons. After hearing Lao Wang say that Zhao Qi was his New Year's friend, the fifth son glanced at Zhao Qi in front of him very strangely, after all, Zhao Qi's age of dress looked like an ordinary junior high school student.
"Hello Boss Chen." Zhao Qi also politely shook hands with this Boss Chen and said hello.
