Chapter 288: Emerald
After buying new clothes, it is also appropriate to buy a little new jewelry, there are not many jewelry around Ye Tiantian, but the things bought are in good condition, she will not buy the things that the little girl wears, I don't know if there will be any surprises for her here in Qinglong City?
"This side used to be my family's shop, as long as it was Tian Tian you liked, I will give it to you." With a wave of Ji Chun's hand, Ye Tiantian sighed at the difference between a person and a force that has been in business for a long time.
One of his own is the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, and now with the emperor's attention, the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion can bring good benefits to himself for a long time, and these industries similar to Qinglong City do not need to worry at all.
No matter how the dynasty changes, these places belong to the Qinglong City Lord's Mansion.
This kind of inspiration gave Ye Tiantian some new ideas, but opening the same shop in the same place faces a lot of competitiveness, but it is not difficult for her to open a store, a person who has experienced two eras.
"Xiao Ji, do all the shops here sell jewelry?" Ye Tiantian asked.
Ji Chun nodded: "Before, our family's shops were everywhere in the city, so these jewelry shops are everywhere in the city, or the person I told you before suggested that I do this, she originally had something to tell me, but I don't know why she wasn't there." ”
Ye Tiantian thought that that person's thoughts should be the same as his own, but there was not enough time left for her.
"Then I'll talk to you again at dinner tonight, I just have an idea here, maybe I can help you." Ye Tiantian said.
Ji Chun knew that Ye Tiantian always had a lot of strange ideas, and she was very willing to learn from Ye Tiantian.
"Okay, let's not talk about such a serious issue now, it's better to go buy some things first, and I just happened to inspect the storefront." Ji Chun pulled Ye Tiantian and went to the first shop.
After all, the status of the City Lord's Mansion in Qinglong City is not low, and when he saw Ji Chun coming, the shopkeeper came out to greet him.
"I'm here to buy something today, do you have anything to look at?" Ji Chun asked, looking at the jewelry on the silk cloth.
"Yesterday came a batch of ice jadeite with excellent condition, when I went to pick up the top goods, I saw all the stones there at a glance, and took it back to open, the color is very good, however, the style has not been fully made, and it has not been taken out for sale in the past few days, and it is ready to be taken out in a few days." As he spoke, the shopkeeper took a box of things from the back.
"However, there is also a batch of stones that are also very good, but I can't see what material it is, it hasn't been opened yet, since the eldest lady came over today, why don't you go and have a look?" The shopkeeper said with a smile that he had been working in the City Lord's Mansion for more than twenty years, and he had watched Ji Chun grow step by step to the present.
Ji Chun has never seen it, naturally attracted by this proposal, Ye Tiantian has seen it a few times, but he has not encountered the best jadeite, modern things will have some moisture in it, if you can see the jadeite in person this time, it is also very worthwhile.
"Let's go, I haven't seen it either, and I'll follow you today to open my eyes." Ye Tiantian said with a smile.
Then a group of ten people went to a house in the suburbs.
"The stones have been pulled here, and the stonemasons are here today." The shopkeeper helped the two men lead the way in front.
The two of them walked in and saw five or six stonemasons quietly grinding stones, this kind of fine work could not be easily disturbed, after all, it was not like the era when Ye Tiantian lived, there were special machines to open stones.
Several people saw the shopkeeper coming, and one of the stones was about to grind out, as if it was because they were waiting for the shopkeeper, and said: "Shopkeeper, the batch of stones you brought back last time, even I can't see what the quality is, and I have never seen such a transparent jadeite." ”
Since the color of the jadeite is mentioned, it means that this jadeite will not be too bad.
"I'll see." The shopkeeper walked over as he spoke, he was because he had an excellent eye for jade, and he was very loyal to the City Lord's Mansion, so he basically managed the jewelry shop of the entire City Lord's Mansion, but the account books were naturally still in the hands of the City Lord.
"This color is really good. Miss, Miss Ye, you two should come over and have a look. When the shopkeeper saw the emerald color slowly revealing from the stone, he knew that the emerald in it was not simple.
Ye Tiantian was almost sure at a glance that this thing should be the old pit glass species, but he still had to wait until it was all ground out.
"Grind everything out first, and then we'll take a closer look." Anything of this quality will not be sold in jewelry stores, either as gifts for friendship, or for your own collection.
Ji Chun felt that Ye Tiantian next to him was a little fluctuating: "Tian Tian, do you know this kind of jadeite?" There should be jadeite of this quality in the capital, right? I don't know what it should be called. ”
Ye Tiantian shook his head and said: "Such a good jadeite, the capital is almost invisible, it should only be available to the emperor." ”
"Really?" Ji Chun hadn't realized how good the material of this batch of jadeite was.
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, the remaining few people were still grinding carefully.
"Let's go out, it's going to be done in two or three hours." The shopkeeper said.
There is a tea shed outside, because the environment in the suburbs is good, and sitting outside to drink tea is also a unique flavor.
"I listened to Miss Ye's words just now, and it seems that I also have some research on jadeite?" The shopkeeper said.
Ye Tiantian didn't know how to explain the jadeite variety he knew, but when he saw the jadeite just now, he should be able to determine its quality.
"When I was in the capital, I often bought some jadeite, so I did some research, but it can't be compared with the shopkeeper's knowledge." People who have focused on one industry for decades are the objects of her respect.
"Miss Ye really thinks highly of me, I'm a halfway monk, if it weren't for the appreciation of the City Lord Ji, I wouldn't know where it would be now." The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head.
"Does Miss Ye have the quality of that piece just now? I don't usually have any hobbies, but I like to study jadeite, and if Miss Ye can solve my doubts, I am really grateful. The shopkeeper said sincerely.
"Things haven't been ground out yet, so it's better to wait until they're finished." Ye Tiantian said cautiously.
The shopkeeper said, "This is how it should be, but I was abrupt." ”
Chatting outside, time passed quite quickly.
"The shopkeeper, grind it out." The man was very excited and ran out with a stone in his hand.
