Chapter Twenty-Six: The Jade Pixiu

Qin Xinshan came to Shangcai from afar, and Meng Zheng knew about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

And when Meng Zheng asked Qin Xinfujun why he wanted to go to Cai, Qin Xin's answer was that the world is so big, I want to go and see it.

There is no doubt that this kind of unserious answer, combined with Qin Xin's funny expression at that time, naturally inevitably attracted Meng Zheng's disgust.

In view of the secrets that Qin Xin didn't want to say before, this time, Meng Zheng didn't ask any reason. Just said that the husband would go early and return early.

Qin Xin handed over some bamboo slips that had sometimes been boring these days to Meng Zheng, but he was empty-handed, and set off with Zheng Hai early the next morning.

Zheng Hai was originally the 'number one horse boy' who ran around for Zheng He, but now that Zheng He is finished, he can only come back now to see if Meng Zheng has any orders.

If it were Zheng He in the past, Zheng Hai might sometimes be too busy for a month or two, but now Meng Zheng ......

After all, it is still impossible to compare to her father Zheng He. Especially now, as soon as Zheng He died, the Zheng family's various relations with the outside world were quickly severed, so Zheng Hai suddenly became idle.

However, Qin Xin also knew that these might be temporary.

Meng Zheng has been trying to reconnect with the relationship outside recently, so probably, Zheng Hai may not be able to follow him for a few days.

"What is my uncle going to sell?"

Because Zheng Hai was his own person, Qin Xin did not shy away from it, and directly took out a piece of Yunnan Jade Pixiu worth 588 yuan from the Taobao free trial.

This piece of jade pixiu is used to wear around the neck, and the size is the size of an adult's thumb.

In terms of weight, it is only a few tens of grams, which is insignificant, but in terms of workmanship, it is still quite exquisite. I guess it can be sold for between 10 or 20 friends.

Of course, just as gold has a price and jade has no price, how much this little thing can sell for in the end is not decided by Qin Xin, but by the buyer. Back then, He's Bi was also regarded as a broken stone, worthless, and the person who gave him Bi was also discarded by the King of Chu, so he knew the value of jade, and he was often a matter of opinion. If the buyer thinks that this thing is worth it, then he will give a little more, if he thinks it is not worth it, then Qin Xin can probably only sell it cheaply. Anyway, this thing is in his hands, and it is useless.

Qin Xin took out the Jade Pixiu and showed it to Zheng Hai, but Zheng Hai's eyes were wide.

"Uncle, where did you get this thing from?"

"Where did it come from, this thing has always been my own, okay, it is a personal thing, an heirloom of our Qin family. I said Zheng Hai, why am I also your uncle, you shouldn't think I stole it, right? ā€

"Uh...... Uncle, I didn't say that, you said it yourself. ā€

"Zheng Hai, how much do you think this thing can be sold for?"

"It's hard to say." Zheng Hai shook his head, and after speaking, he asked again: "Uncle, is this made of jade?" It looks a bit like it's made of jade. ā€

In this era, because the production of jade is scarce, the value is still quite high, if it is really made of jade, then this thing is valuable, this is Zheng Hai's first thought.

"Emerald." Qin Xin replied.

"What is Jadeite?" Zheng Hai asked again.

"Emerald ...... It's jade, in fact, it's pretty much the same! ā€

Qin Xin didn't bother to continue explaining. Because jadeite also has a name, called jadeite, but in this era, it should be soft and hard, and it should be called jade.

Don't talk nonsense with Zheng Hai, Qin Xin took back the Jade Pixiu, and asked those who seemed to have at least some financial resources to inquire.

The first step is to find the person in charge of the caravan and chat privately;

The second step is to negotiate the price.

In this era, ordinary people don't have the eye to distinguish jade at all, just take the example of He's Bi. The reason why He's Bi is so famous is probably like the famous song "Mountains and Flowing Water", which has the story behind it. If you miss the stories behind it, to be honest, it may be a broken stone, and there is a full person playing the piano.

So this is not!

Although Qin Xin stepped forward with the jade Pixiu and asked many people, many people didn't seem to be very confident in this. Until Qin Xin found a businessman from Qi State, but the other party was only willing to give out three friends.

But isn't this sending beggars.

Qin Xin naturally couldn't sell it, the lowest was the lowest, and he had to sell it for ten friends.

"Five friends! How about the five friends! ā€

As soon as Qin Xin turned around, the other party seemed to be in a hurry again. Five friends, that is, fifty seashells, to be honest, there are really quite a lot, and even the person who heard the conversation next to him couldn't help but turn his head and cast a surprised look.

However, Wupeng was still too low in Qin Xin's opinion.

"Fifteen friends!" Qin Xin said.

"Six friends!"

"Fourteen friends!"

The other party gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Eight friends! ā€

"I don't sell less than 12 friends. And...... I still have a lot of homes that I haven't asked, so I'm not in a hurry. ā€

"Twelve friends are twelve friends! Deal! ā€

"Zheng Hai, let's go to other places and ask."

"Don't! I'm bidding fifteen friends! ā€

When he heard the other party say that he was willing to give fifteen friends, Qin Xin was a little hesitant, because it could be seen from the fact that the other party could increase the price from three friends to fifteen friends, maybe the things in his hands were still valuable, because if they were not worth it, the other party would not value it so much. From the other party's attitude, Qin Xin could clearly see that this thing was definitely worth more than fifteen friends. So should he continue to raise the price, or sell this thing sooner......

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Xin decided to sell it. Because he has an impression, that is, he vaguely remembers that if it is really a precious jadeite, there are hundreds of thousands, millions, and this piece is only worth 588 yuan in modern times, and it is estimated that the quality is not much better. can sell fifteen friends, which should be considered earned.

In addition, Qin Xin is also a little worried that jadeite is usually not available in China. If you don't have something, it's not easy to value. Now the other party should mistake jadeite for jade in the general sense, and the workmanship is good, so it will pay such a high price. Moreover, after all, this piece of jadeite does not have too high added value, and there is no small story of He's Bi behind, so Qin Xin thinks that it is good to be able to sell it. Don't let it go now, but wait when.

"Okay, deal!"

The two sides exchanged shells and goods, Qin Xin thought that he had earned it, and the other party seemed to think that he was worth a fight.

"I don't know what Childe is called?"

The merchants of Qi should have seen Qin Xin's clear eyebrows and graceful demeanor, maybe he was the son of that family, so he asked. Probably, it was precisely because of Qin Xin's behavior that the other party would not think that he had stolen it, and thought: Maybe this son just happened to have a poor family, so he took the ancestral jade out and sold it.

"Why do you ask this? Check household registration? Want to play revenge? ā€

"Well, that's not what the old man meant." Although I don't know what Qin Xin means when he says household registration, the old man still says.

"And what do you mean?"

"I just want to make friends with Childe. If Childe has any other deals in this area in the future, you can come here to find me. As he spoke, what he was thinking about at the same time was, yes, it's really good not to know such a water fish. That jade Pixiu, he should be able to double the profit by changing hands. This kind of business, he naturally wants to come a little more.

Qin Xin heard what the other party said, but he asked if the other party was here all the time, or only once a month, knowing that the other party would come every once in a while, and the time was actually uncertain, but if Qin Xin had something to say, there were often people on their side who were here to collect and sell goods, and then he introduced Qin Xin to a contact person. After probably knowing the operation of the other party, Qin Xin left with Zheng Hai without reporting his name.

Yes! How could Qin Xin be stupid enough to report his name. In the future, it is better to make a unilateral transaction than to let the other party know the bottom of it.

But next time, Qin Xin probably won't sell things so cheaply again. After all, it's only fifteen punbei, and it's not enough to eat a more expensive spicy tang in the next generation.

Put away the fifteen friends, Qin Xin felt that his future road was still very difficult.
