Chapter 65: Rare Pearl Necklace
Qin Di prepares to leave the pearls, agate, and gemstones behind.
The 500 large beads are carefully selected treasures, each of which is more than 13 millimeters in diameter, and 20 of them are even more than two centimeters.
According to Qin Di's instructions, Yan Xue soaked these beads with Yushou salt for 24 hours, then slowly washed them with soap, soaked them in water for another day, and then dried them naturally.
She put away the largest pearl, and then used the slightly smaller pearl to string a few necklaces, keeping one for herself, and preparing the rest as a gift.
In the process of sorting out the jewelry, Qin Di also made a new discovery, some of the jadeite, there is actually an aura! This is a great thing, which means that there is hope to find the associated spirit stone vein from the jade vein!
He couldn't help but think, "Should I go to Burma to be a warlord and take the opportunity to occupy a large area of mineral veins?"
Anyway, he already had it in his heart.
Then, they returned home in a foreign car.
At this time, it is getting late, and the sun is dusk.
Except for Qin Ling, everyone else in the family was there.
After a farewell of March, there was no one in sight, so Zhu Wan would naturally ask about the itinerary.
Qin Di refused to tell the truth, and said with a slight smile: "We went to the northeast for a walk, and by the way, we took some 'Dongzhu' back." ”
After a month of calmness, Qin Yue became a lot thinner, her face was a little pale, and she asked, "What kind of Dongzhu?" I heard that in the Qing Dynasty, only the queen mother could wear it, and if anyone else wore it, they would be beheaded all over the house. ”
Qin Di said: "Dongzhu is a pearl produced in the northeast, Songhua River, Ussuri River, Heilongjiang and other freshwater rivers. ”
"How many Dongzhu did you collect? Hurry up and take a look!"
Yan Xue took out two strings of beads, one with a turquoise color and the other with a pale pink.
Qin Yue couldn't help but be full of joy when she saw it: "God, there is such a beautiful necklace, every bead is so big, so full, and the diameter is more than 1.4 centimeters!"
If it is a pure white pearl, it is not unusual, but the turquoise pearl shines with a dazzling luster, which makes people fall in love with it at first sight!
Yan Xue saw that she was holding the green necklace and refused to let go, so she handed another pink necklace to Zhu Wan.
Zhu Wan also couldn't put it down, although she was so devoted to her work that she rarely wore gold and silver, she couldn't resist this temptation.
The two women chattered and screamed for a while, and then asked, "Xiaoxue, where are yours?"
Yan Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "I have a string of white ones." ”
Qin Yue hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and take it out, let me take a look!"
Yan Xue twisted and took it out: "Oh, that's it." ”
The string of beads she took out, each pearl is about 1.6 centimeters! And there is a red pearl, more than 2 centimeters, which is particularly dazzling and dazzling!
Qin Yue was taken aback: "Ah, brother, you are really eccentric! Leave good things to Yan Xue! Oh my God, these Dongzhu are too big, how much did you spend to buy them?"
Seeing this necklace, even Qin Hancheng couldn't help but gasp and said, "I have seen a string of pearls, which is far less big than these beads, with a diameter of no more than 1.2 centimeters, and it has been auctioned for hundreds of thousands of oceans!"
Qin Di vaguely remembers that in 2010, Hong Kong auctioned a string of imperial pearls of the Yongzheng Dynasty, and the price was as high as 68 million Hong Kong dollars!
He said with a smile: "It is precisely because this necklace is particularly eye-catching, so it can only be worn by Yan Xue, and it is easy for others to wear it." ”
Qin Yue pouted and said, "Xiaoxue wears it, won't it invite disaster?"
Qin Di picked up the steel fork on the dining table and handed it to Yan Xuedao: "Otherwise, you will show your hand?"
Yan Xue took the steel fork, put it back on the table, and said, "Good knife and fork, don't break it." If Sister Yue'er wants, I can exchange it with her. I also like the green necklace. ”
Qin Di said, "No." Ah Yue has a lot of acquaintances, and she wears that string of big beads, which is easy to be remembered. Some celebrities may know the goods. ”
Qin Yue was not stupid, and reacted quickly: "What's wrong with knowing the goods? Brother, make it clear, where did these pearls come from?"
Qin Hancheng also showed a suspicious look: "You can't find a single one of these rare treasures in ten years! You went to the Northeast to receive the goods, and it has only been three months, how can you collect so much?"
Qin Yue's eyes rolled: "Brother, did you rob the Tanglin treasure?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Hancheng and Zhu Wan were all taken aback!
Because this incident is too big! The imperial tomb was stolen and excavated, and countless treasures were missing, which made many people greedy and angry. The last emperor Pu Yi cried and grabbed the ground, and published articles in major newspapers, demanding that Sun Dianying be severely punished, but Sun Dianying was crying out, saying that he didn't take the treasure, and he sent troops to guard Tanglin because he found that there were thieves patronizing!
Qin Di didn't expect that his sister would reveal the truth in one sentence, and said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, Sun Dianying has tens of thousands of people, even if I have the heart to rob it, do I have that strength?"
At this moment, he suddenly felt that Yan Xue had done the right thing, but fortunately he didn't show her skills.
Qin Yue thought for a while and said, "That's right! There are so many soldiers and bandits, gathered in one place, even if you want to rob it, you can't rob it, unless you spend a lot of money and buy it from Sun Dianying! That's why I'm afraid of being recognized, brother, I'm right?"
Qin Di said: "That's not right. I received it from the Ussuri River, and some of the villagers have treasured it for generations. ”
Qin Yue put away the green necklace, pushed the white necklace to Yan Xue, and said with a smile: "I was just talking about playing." Actually, I'm going to ask the store another day to see how much silver it's worth, and maybe I'll sell it and donate it to the Left Union in exchange for silver!"
Qin Di said: "Don't! If you want to sell it, just sell it to me! I'll leave it to my niece!"
Yan Xue took out another string of black pearls and handed it to Zhu Wan, saying, "This string is for Sister Qin Ling." ”
Qin Yue snatched it up and played with it for a while, and once again praised it: "The black necklace is also good-looking, maybe it's more valuable." ”
Qin Hancheng asked, "Is there anything for me?"
Zhu Wan glanced at him: "What do you want pearls for?"
Qin Hancheng touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Isn't it okay for me to take it and give it to the old lady?"
The old lady Qin Zhang is almost eighty years old, and she is in good health, and she often goes downstairs for a walk.
Qin Di said: "The big beads are gone, and the small beads still have them." Wait for me to get it. He pretended to go upstairs and took out a box of pearls from his storage belt, which belonged to some of the thousands of small beads, each about nine millimeters in diameter, and were all fine on the market.
The box he took out was full of 120 pieces, and said, "Dad, these are for you, just find someone to string them together."
Qin Hancheng was surprised and said, "These are also very good! each one is round and perfect, where did you get it?"
"I bought it by chance. Qin Di looked at him left and right: "Dad, how is the medical device factory?"
Qin Han admitted: "Bandages, gauze, sutures, scalpels, surgical scissors, and tissue forceps can all be produced by themselves, but some vascular forceps, special tweezers, and needle holders are not enough. ”
Qin Di said: "We must send people to negotiate with foreign businessmen and introduce their technology." ”
The Qin family's business is getting bigger and bigger, part of the outreach work is done by Qin Hancheng, and the other part is not involved in the Qin family's secrets, and it is handed over to his son-in-law Zhang Naijing to do, because Zhang Naijing studied abroad and is familiar with things in the United States, and the Zhang family also operates a shipping business, which is very convenient to enter and exit.
