The seller, Pazilijan, told the crowd that his jade was not in his home in this new village, but in an old house ten years ago.

The village is an earthquake-resistant housing built for farmers with state project funds, and the old houses in the Pazili River are more than 80 kilometers away from the new village.

The pickup truck drove on the asphalt road for about five or six kilometers and drove into a gravel road under the command of the Pazili River.

It is an old road that has fallen into disrepair, and there are not many pedestrians and vehicles coming and going, and it has become an exclusive sheep road for herders.

The road is bumpy, and from time to time you have to pass through a few small ditches and climb a steep slope, the site of this pickup truck is already very high in the pickup truck series, but there are still occasional cases of scratching the ground, Miao Miao admires the foresight of her uncle Rong Yi from the bottom of her heart.

After more than an hour of bumpy travel on the gravel road, the pickup truck finally arrived in an uninhabited area, a piece of uneven wilderness, where scattered old mud houses appeared, and there were many ground nests (the pits dug by residents of various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang in the last century were used for living, warm in winter and cool in summer).

The few dilapidated adobe houses show that this is where the old village was located, and because this area was once an earthquake-prone area, the local government used the national earthquake housing fund to relocate farmers and herders of all ethnic groups to a new safe area.

The pickup truck came to a small courtyard about seven points of land and stopped, the yard was full of barren weeds, and there was no trace of human habitation.

Pazilijiang got out of the car and walked towards the former Diwozi, he jumped off the Diwo, took out a shovel, and walked to the door of the old house.

At the doorway lay a worn, crispy, faded sack, which was haphazardly laid out at the entrance, and he pointed to the bottom of the sack and said, "Down, dig." ”

Miao Miao took a shovel and dug up, and Liu Ming also took out his belongings from the pickup truck, a sharp small steel shovel, and dug it up with Miao Miao.

Maybe there are too many people walking on this piece of land at the entrance and exit of the house, or maybe it is buried for a long time, and the loess in this area is very hard.

The two of them dug for more than ten minutes, they were already sweating profusely, and they dug about a meter deep, and Pazilijiang asked Miao Miao and Liu Ming to stop.

The old man jumped off the pit with his hands and feet, squatted down, and took out his hands in the direction of the door, and after a few minutes, he took out a broken sack from it, and took out three pieces of cement-colored slurry jade, each the size of a basketball, and a fist-sized all-covered jade.

Liu Ming had been waiting for a long time with the mineral water, and he poured some water on a polished stone the size of an egg, and wiped it clean with a napkin.

He knelt on the ground on his left knee, bent down and licked the polished black jade with the tip of his tongue, feeling astringent.

He took out a flashlight with great strength and shone it on the jade, and under the strong light, the jade was crystal clear and evenly distributed.

Then he took out a magnifying glass to see if there were any cracks in this piece of black jade, yes, it was a flawless jade.

Liu Ming was still not at ease, he took out half a bottle of mineral water from Bahati's hand, and dropped a drop of water on the jade, this drop of water did not disperse or disappear like the dew that fell on the leaves in the morning, and floated on the surface of the jade crystal clear.

The remaining two slightly larger slurry jade, Liu Ming identified them one by one according to the identification method just now, he was surging when he identified, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, this time it was really worth the trip, but the shrewd Liu Ming tried to be as calm as water in his expression.

He can't show joy on his face, otherwise he will have a psychological and tactical disadvantage when bargaining, and it will be too passive.

Looking at the remaining piece of jade the size of a fist, Liu Ming intuitively felt that this piece of jade was a good jade, and he was about to take out the polishing machine he was carrying with him and throw it down, looking at the jade, but Pazilijiang stretched out his hand to stop him.

Pazilijiang put the fist-sized jade behind him and pointed to the three large jade stones to negotiate.

Just when Liu Ming was focusing on identifying jade, Miao Miao sent the entire process of Liu Ming's identification of jade and the appearance of jade to Rong Yi in time.

Rong Yi, who is far away in Shanghai, and his brother-in-law, Master Liang, are waiting for news from Miao Miao's side.

Seeing the video sent by Miao Miao, Master Liang excitedly paced back and forth in the living room, rubbing his hands, "Good jade, good jade, a piece of black jade, a piece of topaz, a piece of white jade, no wonder the owner of the jade shouted 10 million yuan, it's worth it, it's worth it, it's worth this price, it's really valuable." ”

Seeing that the jade expert made such an emotion, Rong Yi had a spectrum in his heart, and he sent a text message to Miao Miao, "It can be sold, but it is necessary to hang the owner of the jade and bargain fiercely, and it is best to make a deal around 9 million." ”

Miao Miao coughed lightly, Liu Ming made brief eye contact with Miao Miao, and from Miao Miao's slightly invisible eyelids, Liu Ming knew that it was time to bargain.

He asked for the price, and the five fingers of Pazilijiang's right hand were pinched together, asking for 10 million yuan.

Liu Ming made a "7" movement with his right hand, and he bid 7 million yuan.

Seeing this, Pazilijiang quickly shook his head, shaking his head like a rattle for children to play.

Liu Ming turned around and left, Miao Miao also hurriedly followed when he saw this, and Han Wen and the others also followed tacitly.

When the jade owner Pazilijiang saw that the buyer was leaving, he quickly reached out and grabbed the middleman Ai Li, who was the first batch of buyers who came to his house to buy jade this year.

Pazilijiang shouted anxiously: "Adasi, the price can be negotiated." ”

Under Eli's mediation, the buyer and seller sat cross-legged in the dilapidated adobe house to negotiate business.

Pazilijiang asked for 9 million yuan for three large pieces of jade, and Liu Ming did not let go of 7 million yuan.

Considering that due to the impact of the virus epidemic in 2020, almost no merchants came to buy jade, and Pazilijiang was really short of money, so he was unwilling to let go of Liu Ming, a big customer, so he took a step back and offered to add this piece of jade that was like a fist to 9 million yuan.

When Liu Ming heard a slight increase in the price, he mentioned 7.5 million yuan, and after some fierce bargaining.

Three large pieces of jade plus a fist-sized small jade were finally sold for 8.1 million yuan, Miao Miao handed over 1 million cash to Pazilijiang, and the remaining 7.2 million yuan was transferred to the bank.

In the afternoon, Miao Miao and others, under the leadership of Ai Li, transferred the remaining money to Pazilijiang.

According to the rules of the jade market, Pazilijiang and the buyer each paid 100,000 yuan to the middleman Ai Li.

In the evening, everyone was invited by Ai Li to have dinner at his house, and the purchase price of jade this time was lower than everyone expected, and several people discussed using the remaining money to buy some jade.

At night, everyone slept in Aili's house, Miao Miao slept in the cab of the pickup truck to take care of the four pieces of jade, and Bahati also lived in the carriage to guard, and the two of them came to a double insurance, after all, it was more than 8 million jade.
