'Brother Ye, where are you going?' ‘

'Where are you going?' Ye Jianjun glared and said, "I have long forgotten what you said, right?" ‘

'What did I say? Yu Fei's face was puzzled. He really didn't remember what he said to Ye Jianjun.

'Hey, you kid, you're still pretending to be confused, aren't you?' Didn't you tell me you were going to Changhua with me to dig for bloodstone? Ye Jianjun said.

'Ouch! Yu Fei patted his head. The idea of going to Changhua to see bloodstone came from the last time in the world's treasure column. But so many things have happened during this time, Yu Fei has already extinguished the idea of going to Changhua, and he only remembered it when he was reminded by Ye Jianjun at this time.

'Brother Ye, I'm so sorry, I did forget. Yu Fei said embarrassedly: "You see this is the New Year soon, why don't we go back after the New Year?" ‘

Lin Xiaoxi also made a special trip to send a bloodstone seal at the opening ceremony of the Yongle Museum, although it is not very valuable, but it is very exquisite, Yu Fei is also very fond of it, and it is not impossible to go to Changhua. It's just that the smell of the New Year has become stronger and stronger recently, and Yu Fei is a little homesick. He didn't want to run around and bump in the road at this time.

"Come on, I can't believe your words at all, and I don't know where to catch you after the New Year." Anyway, I've parked the car and come outside, so let's get in the car and go. I've inquired, there's a bloodstone trade fair tomorrow, and it's just in time to go. Ye Jianjun has been released by Yu Fei a few times, and this time he said that he didn't believe anything.

"Okay, Brother Ye, let's talk about it first, let's go for a day, and return early the day after tomorrow." I don't want to spend the New Year outside, I've already told my parents. Yu Fei said.

For this matter, Yu Fei has already released Ye Jianjun's pigeons a few times, and he is really a little embarrassed. But he didn't want to let this affect him to go home for the New Year.

After experiencing life and death, Yu Fei can't say that he has a complete understanding, but he also cherishes his relationship with his family even more. He has so much money now that he can't spend it in his lifetime, and he doesn't want to be so busy anymore.

'Don't worry. Ye Jianjun said: "I can't miss your New Year's Day, don't say anything else, I also have to come back for the New Year, otherwise the old man will not break my legs." ‘

As soon as Ye Jianjun said this, Yu Fei was relieved. Yes, the New Year is of greater significance to a big family like the Ye family, and Ye Jianjun never dares not to come back for the New Year.

On Ye Jianjun's Land Rover, Yu Fei found that there was a bodyguard in the driver's seat and the co-pilot, and it was a long way to Changhua, so it was safer for the two of them to take turns driving.

On the way, Yu Fei called Lin Xiaoxi. Hearing that Yu Fei came to Changhua, Lin Xiaoxi was very happy and drove to the highway intersection to greet him.

"Sister Lin, just tell me the way, come here to pick me up in person, I can't afford it." Yu Fei said. Lin Xiaoxi is still so beautiful, even if Yu Fei doesn't have that mind, he still appreciates it.

To Yu Fei's surprise, Lin Xiaoxi, a woman, also drove a Land Rover.

"Teacher Yu, you don't know, the road here in Changhua is not easy to walk." Lin Xiaoxi said with a smile: "When I came, I was worried that you would drive an ordinary car, but fortunately you drove a Land Rover." ”

"What? Could it be that this road in Changhua still picks up cars? Yu Fei asked strangely.

"Not really." Lin Xiaoxi smiled: "Forget it, Teacher Yu, you can feel it yourself later." ”

Following Lin Xiaoxi's car, Yu Fei and his entourage entered the territory of Changhua.

The bumps on the road finally made Yu Fei understand the meaning of Lin Xiaoxi's words, the road in Changhua is really bad! The road is full of potholes, and those who don't know think it's just been bombed! If it is an ordinary sedan and the chassis is too low, it is inevitable that there will be some collisions, but driving a Land Rover does not have this worry.

'Sister Lin, Changhua is the production area of bloodstone, and the people here should be very wealthy, why are the roads in such poor condition? Yu Fei asked strangely.

It stands to reason that in order to attract merchants, Changhua should also repair the road.

'Teacher Yu, you may not know that although Changhua produces bloodstone, the people here are not rich, and most of the money is earned by the merchants in the middle. Although Changhua people may increase their income by finding a piece of bloodstone, it is very hard to find a good bloodstone, and many people even wander around the mountains for many years, and it is rare to see each other with their families. ‘

Lin Xiaoxi sighed and said: "In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer bloodstones in Changhua, and it is even more difficult to find a good stone, and I am afraid that the odds of winning the lottery are not much different from buying a lottery ticket." There have even been mining accidents, in which more than a dozen people were smashed into the mountains by the collapsed mine, and their blood stained the stones red. That's not called bloodstone, it's human bloodstone. ‘

Listening to Lin Xiaoxi's words, Yu Fei fell into silence.

'Why do so many people go to quarrying when it's so difficult?' Ye Jianjun asked strangely.

It's very simple, even if the odds of winning the lottery jackpot are low, aren't there still many people who don't hesitate to buy it? The quarrymen of Changhua thought the same way, believing that it was possible for them to mine a good piece of bloodstone and become rich overnight. It's really sad to say. ‘

Lin Xiaoxi's words made Yu Fei and Ye Jianjun both a little surprised. The group didn't know what to say.

Yu Fei looked at the scarred mountains and rivers outside the car window, and didn't know whether he should come or not.

Yu Fei and Ye Jianjun first visited Lin Xiaoxi's grandfather, and the old man had been fighting with bloodstone all his life, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a stone idiot.

Yu Fei brought an ancient jade to Lin Xiaoxi, and an inkstone to her grandfather, which was very popular with the old people.

Originally, Lin Xiaoxi's grandfather was going to invite them to live at home. But Ye Jianjun had already booked a hotel before, so the two did not live in Lin Xiaoxi's home.

Regarding Lin Xiaoxi's kindness to take them to the antique market, Yu Fei did not refuse.

As the price of bloodstone rises, so does the number of counterfeits. In particular, the counterfeiting of rough stones is rampant.

Yu Fei has real energy, of course, he is not worried about buying fakes, but if the grade of bloodstone is too low, it will affect his mood after all.

The trade fair was held in a village on the outskirts of Changhua City, and it was very simple. Originally, the courtyard where the village held an assembly was completed, but it was completed with a slight repair.

In the courtyard, there are small grass huts, all of which were built by locals. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yu Fei really couldn't believe that this place was actually trading tens of millions of yuan of precious bloodstone.

Probably because of the approaching New Year, there are not many foreign merchants at the fair, and even if there are some people shuttling among them, they rarely make a move.

"The trade fair is much smaller now than it used to be." Lin Xiaoxi said: "The main thing is that the bloodstone is about to be hollowed out. If you look at the mountain in the distance, many of the places in it have been hollowed out, and it is very prone to danger. However, because bloodstone is non-renewable, the price will be higher than in the past. If the two of you are not sure about what to do, Konishi can give some advice. ”

Although Lin Xiaoxi is not very old, he has followed his grandfather to collect bloodstone since he was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is experienced.

"That's nature." Ye Jianjun said: "Then I'll trouble you." ”

The bloodstone trade is modeled on the trading method of jadeite rough, and there is a great deal of gambling.

Ye Jianjun was dumbfounded this time, he had a lot of research on jadeite, but for which stubborn stone would have "chicken blood", Ye Jianjun didn't know the root, and Yu Fei seemed to be a new hand, how to pick a stone? Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxi followed, but seeing Lin Xiaoxi's fluttering skirt, Ye Jianjun was really a little worried. However, she is now the most knowledgeable about bloodstone among the few people, and she can only hope for her.

Most of the stalls here have relatively few stones, and the largest stall has only more than 30 stones, and the small ones even have only one or two.

"Sister Lin, didn't you say that there are merchants?" Yu Fei asked strangely.

"Teacher Yu, the merchants are not here to sell stones, but to buy." As soon as Lin Xiaoxi's words came out, Yu Fei immediately understood.

To be precise, this is the first-level market for Changhua bloodstone trading, not through the screening of merchants. Yu Fei's heart immediately gave birth to a little expectation. rs
