Today is the weekend, and there are a lot of people on the Temple of Literature Street, many of them are eager to pick up the leaks, and some of them are tourists from outside.

The name of the Confucian Temple Antique Street in Donghai City is famous in the whole country, and it is comparable to the Panjiayuan in the capital, and it can attract many tourists from all over the country to visit and travel every day.

Confucian Temple Street covers an area of more than 50,000 square meters, and the market is divided into six business areas, including the stall area, the ancient building area, the classical furniture area, the modern collection area, the carving area, and the catering service area.

It is mainly engaged in antique items, jewelry and jade, handicrafts, collectibles, and decorations, with an annual turnover of billions of yuan. The market has more than 4,000 merchants and nearly 10,000 business personnel.

Especially on weekends, the daily traffic of the stalls reaches 50,000 to 60,000, including nearly 10,000 foreign guests. The market is very lively, with people coming and going, bustling.

Lu Yao came out of the subway station and was facing the Confucian Temple Street. He plans to go to the carving area first to buy the jade he wants to buy, and if he still has time, he will visit the stall area to see if he can find any good things.

The carving area is also called the jade carving area, which is divided into the jade carving area and the stone carving area. Lu Yao went to the jade carving area, and only here, will there be all kinds of jade raw materials to buy.

Otherwise, he would have to go to the jewelry and jade store to see it, but the jade in it was not only expensive, but also did not meet his requirements. He wanted a simple cut, but no carving of the blank jade pendant.

Only the jade pendant that has not been destroyed can he carve runes on it, so that the jade pendant can play a real role.

"Welcome, what do you need, sir? We have all kinds of jade carvings in our store, from large jade carvings as large as tens of centimeters to jade pendants as small as a few inches. ”

A staff member from the store greeted him and introduced Lu Yao with a smile.

Lu Yao casually looked at the various styles of jade carvings in the store, and sure enough, there were various varieties and everything, but with his critical eyes, there were only a few things in it that could enter his magic eyes. Most of the rest are carved out of machines, with no form but no spirituality.

Although there are many jade carvings, there are no jade raw materials that Lu Yao wants. He thought for a moment and asked, "Is your boss here?" I want to buy some jade raw materials. ”

The staff member was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, nodded and smiled: "Sir, wait a moment, I'll call our store manager." ”

Lu Yao said, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”

After waiting for about three to five minutes, I saw the curtain in the backyard of the store being lifted, and a chubby middle-aged man in his forties walked out of it.

Under the leadership of the staff, he came to Lu Yao's side, stretched out his hand at Lu Yao and smiled: "The contemptible surname is Pan, and he is the owner of this shop, I heard that Mr. wants to buy jade raw materials, right?"

Lu Yao also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Boss Pan, and introduced himself: "My name is Lu Yao, I am a jade carving enthusiast, and I recently wanted to buy a few good jade raw materials and carve a few gifts by myself, but I haven't found a suitable one, so I don't come to ask Boss Pan for help." ”

Boss Pan laughed: "Mr. Lu turned out to be a fellow traveler, what a rare guest." Now most of the better jade raw materials outside are monopolized by jewelry stores, and it is not easy to find them. ”

"But Mr. Lu, you are lucky, the shop happened to get a batch of jade of good quality from Hotan two days ago, and it has just been polished, and the jade carver has not yet been asked to carve it. If Mr. wants a small amount, Pan can cede some of it to Mr. ”

Lu Yao's heart moved, and he thanked him: "Then Lu Mou thanked Boss Pan for cutting his love here, I wonder if you can let me take a look?"

Boss Pan made a gesture of please and said, "This is natural, things are placed in the backyard, Mr. Lu, please come with me." ”

Lu Yao walked into the backyard with Boss Pan, the area behind it was not particularly large, more than 200 square meters, and it was full of various jade raw materials and semi-finished jade carvings.

Boss Pan smiled embarrassedly: "The things inside are a little messy, I hope Mr. Lu doesn't mind." ”

Lu Yao waved his hand and said casually: "It's okay, it just opened my eyes, I've never seen so many half-finished jade carvings before." ”

Boss Pan came to a warehouse, stopped, took out the key he was carrying with him and opened the warehouse door. There are some more valuable things placed here, but they can't be placed casually like ordinary jade in the yard.

"Mr. Lu, please!"

As soon as Lu Yao stepped into the warehouse, he suddenly felt a faint aura lingering in the warehouse. He couldn't help nodding and said, "There are really a lot more good things in here than outside." ”

Boss Pan pointed to a pile of freshly polished jade raw materials on the cabinet and said, "Mr. Lu, please see, this is the jade that our store just purchased from Hotan two days ago. ”

Lu Yao walked in and saw that there were twenty or thirty pieces of jade in large and small sizes, including white, cyan, ink and yellow. Mainly white and cyan are more.

Lu Yao asked, "Boss Pan, can you get started?"

Boss Pan smiled: "Of course you can, but please be careful with Mr. Lu." ”

Lu Yao nodded, "I understand this, please rest assured Boss Pan, there will definitely not be the slightest damage." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took a piece of white jade, Lu Yao has a soft spot for white, if there is not much difference in quality, the first choice is naturally white jade.

I saw that the mutton fat white jade had a delicate and soft texture, white as clotted fat, translucent, and there was a hidden coolness when touched by hand. The sound is crisp and loud when struck, and it is indeed a piece of fine Hetian white jade.

Lu Yao asked, "Boss Pan, what is the price of these jades?"

Boss Pan said with a smile: "The price difference between high-quality Hetian jade and ordinary white jade is very big, and the piece of mutton fat white jade in your hand is the best quality of our batch, and the price reaches 20,000 per gram." ”

Lu Yao frowned, the price was actually so high? The piece of mutton fat white jade in his hand was at least more than fifty grams, wouldn't it be worth one million?

"What about these kinds over there?" Lu Yao put back the high-grade mutton fat white jade in his hand and pointed to the other pieces on the side.

Boss Pan introduced: "The ordinary mutton fat jade on the side also costs 10,000 yuan, and the price of the slightly inferior white jade is between 6,000 and 8,000, and the average quality is about 1,000 yuan." ”

Lu Yao was stunned when he heard this, he originally thought that he had sold a black pearl for 55,000 yuan, which was a small fortune, and he could buy a few pieces of jade raw materials for himself to refine into a talisman jade talisman.

As a result, now that I look at it, I am still a poor ghost who does not choose to do anything.

He sneered embarrassedly: "Boss Pan, don't you have any cheaper jade here?"

It seems that good jade can't be bought by itself for the time being, so buy some cheap ones for temporary use, anyway, if you get some good materials later, you will also re-refine the talisman magic weapon for them, and you won't be able to use the jade talisman at that time.
