Chapter 42: The Conduction of Jade
This street is very prosperous, but you can hear from the name of this street, jade also occupies a lot of position in this, the two most famous businesses on this street, one is Jade Satin Pavilion, the other is Yifeng Zhai.
One is to sell jade, but to sell silk, of course, the two are not distinct, but both are involved, but the main business direction is different.
Tang Ming looked slowly and leisurely all the way, the people coming and going on the street, looking at the clothes on their bodies, they could see that they were not ordinary people who could come, at least they had to be middle-class, otherwise they really couldn't afford to wear the things on the street.
Walking into the jade satin pavilion, it is also full of some jade bracelets and rings, as well as some gold and silver and other forged rings and necklaces.
Being able to put so many gold, silver and jade artifacts in the hall in a grand manner, the strength of this Jade Satin Pavilion is probably not low, and it is not afraid that people with small people dare to steal secretly.
There were two big men standing at the door, but they were not good-looking, and it could be seen from their walking postures that they were masters who had practiced the internal qigong method, and it was more than enough to use them as the security of this jade satin pavilion.
Because it was still early, there were not many people in the Jade Satin Pavilion, all of them were maids who were used to introduce shopping guides.
"This guest officer, I'm Xiaoyu, I don't know what you need?" When the maid in the Jade Satin Pavilion saw Tang Ming walk in, she immediately walked over, and the girl was wearing a palace dress and a beautiful face.
Tang Ming nodded but didn't say what he meant immediately, but looked at the surrounding accessories with interest: "I'll take a look casually." He saw that the ornaments had been carved and some of them had prices indicated.
The gold yin ornaments are forged into shiny necklaces, and the price is marked according to the exchange rate of silver and gold, which is about one to two percent of the manual cost.
Just as Tang Ming was wandering around, two or three maids on the corner counter also secretly discussed.
"This guest looks so young and the odds of buying are not very good. One of the older maids commented that just now several people saw Tang Ming come in but didn't go up, but asked the newcomer Xiaoyu to go up to receive him.
She has been here for the longest time, and naturally she has some basis for her own judgment, looking at Tang Ming's young appearance, her clothes are also ordinary, and she knows a thing or two about the big families in Chishui City, but she has never seen this person.
And it is also standard for a rich boy to bring a few followers with him, and seeing that Tang Ming is alone, he judged that he should not be a rich son.
"So it seems that Xiao Yu is going to pounce this time, like that Tian Gongzi made such a generous move, where is it so easy to encounter? That is in the blessing of not knowing the blessing!" Xiao Ju covered her mouth and snickered, the maids here are basically from ordinary families, but they all have a good skin, and they may be able to meet a rich businessman among the visitors.
And Xiao Ju came earlier than Xiao Yu, but she didn't have Xiao Yu's luck, and she was sought after by a young rich son as soon as she came, and Xiao Yu repeatedly refused, which made her a little jealous, so if Xiao Yu ate deflated, she felt a little gloating.
"Sister Fei, that's not necessarily. Xiaolan is a subtle observer, "You look at the color of the jade pendant worn by this son's waist, I am afraid that the jade pendant alone will cost a hundred taels of silver, but the things engraved on it are messy, which reduces the value of the jade pendant a lot." ”
Tang Ming began to expand the seed of divine thoughts since he cultivated to the fourth layer, but the perception ability of divine thoughts has increased a lot, and the five senses of Yuan Li gradually nourishing his body have become more acute, so he also heard the conversation between the three of them, but he didn't care.
The piece of jade pendant he wore around his waist was the one that was made into a charged green jade talisman, because it was about to engrave the relationship between the talismans, so it didn't take into account the appearance, and the functionality was completely greater than the ornamental, but how could these mortals understand?
"Can you show me this?" Tang Ming pointed to a piece of jade pendant, which was a piece of white jade.
"Okay, wait a minute. Xiao Yu carefully took out a jade pendant from the middle cabinet, although this jade pendant was ordinary among these jade, it also cost ten taels of silver, but it was much more fragile than gold and silver.
Tang Ming took it in his hand and looked at it, but in fact, it was introduced into this jade with Yuan Force, according to the record in the "Wu Dao Fu Qi New Interpretation", jade should be one of the best items in the mortal world for the conductivity of Yuan Force, just like the spirit stone and spirit jade in the cultivation realm.
The original spirit stone and spirit jade are in the spirit vein, these stones are washed by the spirit vein spirit source, and the spirit energy is stored on the stone, and the jade in the mortal world also has the same effect, but the two are also slightly different.
Mortal jade can store less yuan power, so it can't be relied on to make more advanced jade runes, and the spirit stone and spirit jade itself store the spiritual energy, but can no longer store the monk's yuan power, when the spiritual energy is used up, it will automatically shatter and be difficult to preserve.
Therefore, high-level jade talismans generally need special properties of spirit jade to be used, just like the mundane jade also has a lot of exquisiteness, even the spirit jade is divided into many kinds.
The conductivity in each piece of jade is not the same, so Tang Ming is now testing the conductivity effect of various jade stones on the spot.
"Show me that piece again. Tang Ming pointed to another piece of jade, the price of this piece was ten times that of the previous one, it was also a piece of white jade, but looking at the color of the jade pendant, there was a delicate and moisturizing feeling.
"This is a piece of mutton fat white jade, it is the best in the jade, not only symbolizes the gentleman's character of 'benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and cleanness', but also symbolizes the spiritual emotion of 'beauty, nobility, auspiciousness, gentleness, tranquility', the carving on it is ......"
Xiao Yu talked eloquently, although she may not be a person who really understands jade, but she can be a maid in this jade satin pavilion, and she also knows little about the origin of these jades.
It's just that Tang Ming didn't listen to what she continued to say, returned the mutton fat white jade in his hand to her, pointed to a piece of green jade, and said, "Show me that piece." ”
Xiao Yuzhi didn't have the slightest look of annoyance, but looked at this young man who was about the same age as her, why did he keep asking to see all kinds of jade, she checked the jade in her hand a little, and there was no sign of being dropped, but she looked at Tang Ming with some suspicion.
In his hand, he helped him take out the green jade bracelet again.
Tang Ming slightly felt the conduction of the yuan force of the jade in his hand, and said secretly: "In the end, it is the green jade that has the highest conduction efficiency, not the higher the price of the jade, the better the conduction, it seems that the Wu Dao people finally chose the green jade after many selections." ”
Just when Tang Ming touched and looked at seven or eight pieces of jade, a teasing voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Anyone can really enter the door of this Jade Satin Pavilion, how can it look like they can't afford it?" Tian Ji shook a piece of jade cicada strung with red thread in his hand and walked over.
