Chapter Twenty-Eight: The House of Gold and Jade

Leaving Tianqiao Park and crossing the high overpass, Ding Ning came to Tianqiao Market again.

This time Ding Ning's mentality was completely different, before he was in a hurry to buy a talisman, and today he was looking for a carrier that could carry the power of thunder and lightning.

Today, I was very tired from teaching An Xiaoyue to practice boxing, and when I walked to a snack bar, Ding Ning asked for two large bowls of mutton soup and ten baked cakes, and ate slowly by himself.

There were two middle-aged men chatting on the table next to him, and one of them said, "Lao Wang, have you gotten any good things in the past two days?"

"Lao Zhang, don't scold me, I don't have any difference in price when I get some gold, silver and jade or something, unlike you who play antiques, you may send it if you pick up a leak. ”

"Who said that gold, silver and jade can't be picked up, Lao Wang, do you know that there is a new shop called Jinyu Mantang on the corner of the street?"

"Full of gold?"

"Yes, it's only been open for three days, and now no one knows about it, it's all gold and silverware, and jade, and those ancient copper coins, ingots or something, I took a look, good guy! There are even gambling stones, that's called a dazzling." ”

"Yes, there is such a good place, no, I won't eat it, I'm going to see it." ”

"Hey, what are you busy with, why don't you drink the soup and go again. ”

Ding Ning listened to it for a while, picked up the second bowl of mutton soup, drank it with a grunt, put the bowl down after eating, gave the money and left the snack department.

According to the location that the man said, he searched for a while, and finally found the store called "Golden Jade Mantang".

Listening to the chat between the two, Ding Ning remembered that carrying the power of the charm does not necessarily require paper, and jade is also an excellent carrier.

Of course, not all jade can be used, jade is divided into many varieties and grades, and there are only five or six types of jade used by ordinary people that are suitable for carrying charms.

Since it's called the Golden Jade Hall, it's very likely that you'll find what you're looking for.

It's still early, and the shop seems to have just opened, and a guy is sleepy-eyed and opens the gate of the window.

Ding Ning walked directly into the room, and was shocked as soon as he entered the room!

The lights were on in the house, and under the illumination of the lights, there was a golden splendor everywhere!

Facing the doorway, there is a golden body of Guan Erye, which Ding Ning is extremely familiar with, and the incense candle is burning.

The interior space is very large, it looks like hundreds of square meters, and the main color of the whole room is gold, the most conspicuous of which is the rows of gilded Buddha statues, as well as various handicrafts that cannot be seen whether they are real gold or gilded.

For example, the muscular golden bull, the golden eagle flying high, the golden horse neighing and so on.

Whether it was a golden Buddha or a handicraft, it was not something that Ding Ning wanted to see, he just glanced at it and immediately knew whether these things were real gold or gold-plated.

It's like a gourmand can basically tell whether the food is delicious at a glance, Ding Ning is almost the instinct of the God of Wealth.

Walking slowly inside, there were counters inside, and after walking for a while, Ding Ning stopped.

After the front section of the craft area, the back gradually began to appear genuine.

The coins of various dynasties, among which the Qing Dynasty has the most, there are many Yuan Datou, and even Ding Ning also saw two knife-shaped coins from the Warring States Period.

These things are clearly priced, Ding Ning swept around, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.

Those big coins of the Qing Dynasty cost hundreds of yuan each, and hundreds or thousands are not uncommon.

Ding Ning inherited the way of the God of Wealth, and he was extremely fond of these things, and even had the urge to take them all for himself.

"It's a silver ingot!"

Ding Ning took two steps forward and saw a counter with many silver ingots stacked inside.

The color of the silver ingots is a little dark, and they look a little old, and some of the silver ingots are still engraved on the back of what age they were cast.

"It's a pity that the price is too high, otherwise these coins and silver taels can not only be used for fun, but more importantly, they can become hidden weapons. ”

Cultivators do not rely only on realm spells in battle, among which magic weapons and magic weapons are also a very important part, and in many cases, a competent magic weapon can easily change the situation of battle.

Ding Ning has the memory of a monk, he is familiar with these things, and he has also tried to get some magic weapons, but after trying a few times, Ding Ning gave up, except for money and other things, he has no feeling for any other materials.

This time when he came to the Golden Jade Hall, he immediately felt that he had entered the Treasure Mountain, as long as these coins and silver ingots were injected with divine thoughts, they were the most competent magic weapons.

Standing at the counter with gritted teeth, Ding Ning stared at the marked prices, hoping to reduce the zero in the back by two.

After a while, a salesman walked up to Ding Ning with some vigilance, and said across the counter: "Young man, what do you want to order?"

Ding Ning secretly gritted his teeth, restrained the urge to buy these things immediately with great perseverance, and said to the salesman with some difficulty: "Where is the jade?"

"Well, go that way and go past the goldsmith's counter. ”

Ding Ning still remembered that he had come to buy jade, and when he passed by the counter of the goldware, he didn't even dare to look there, he was afraid that once he saw it, he would never be able to sell it again, and the goldware had a fatal attraction to him.

Almost covering his eyes, he walked past the counter of the gold, and Ding Ning came to the jade area.

There are more than ten counters in the jade area, and I don't know who opened this golden jade hall, and there are a variety of jade inside, as long as you can name the jade almost can be found.

The jade of the glass species, the pendant of the ice species, the white bi of Hetian jade, the purple jade, topaz, red jade, and even the verdant imperial green wrench Ding Ning saw one.

It's just that the price Ding Ning shrank back after looking at it, he now has 13,000 cash in his hand, and 15,000 more money at his disposal in the card, which is not even enough to buy a similar piece of jewelry.

Walking past the counters that could be called luxuries, Ding Ning finally stopped at the counter of ordinary jade.

The quality of these jade artifacts is much worse than the previous ones, they are basically some waste products, there are many impurities, and the shape is irregular.

But there is a little advantage, that is, the price is cheap, hundreds of yuan is expensive, and dozens of yuan are not uncommon.

"That's it, I'm going to wholesale a little bit back. ”

Ding Ning silently calculated in his heart, as the carrier of the thunder and lightning charm, ordinary jade is enough, generally speaking, a thunder and lightning charm needs a jade the size of a glass ball.

These jade stones can basically be used, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, there are too many impurities in the jade to be used continuously, and after a charm is used once, it will be broken into waste.

Ding Ning estimated that the final price of a jade stone needed to refine a thunderbolt charm was about 100 yuan, which included the cost of purchase and polishing, not his own labor costs.

After spotting some of the eliminated white jade, Ding Ning beckoned the salesman to come over.

The salesman has been paying attention to Ding Ning for a long time, this fat man came as soon as he opened the door, and he walked here for a long time, especially at the counter of silverware and coins for a long time, and his eyes were staring at those things like flies seeing blood, and the salesman felt scared when he looked at it, and he had the urge to call the police.

Hearing that Ding Ning was finally going to buy something, the salesperson let out a sigh of relief.

"This kind of jade, if I buy a little more at one time, can it be considered cheaper?"

"The price is clearly marked, not cheap. ”

Ding Ning didn't have the talent for bargaining in two memories, so he gave up after trying unsuccessfully, and said directly: "Then according to this price ratio, give me 10,000 yuan." ”

The salesman looked at Ding Ning like a fool, there were still people who wanted this kind of semi-waste jade, and they wanted so much at one time.

It was impossible for him not to want the money sent to the door, so he quickly weighed the jade to Ding Ning.

There was a large piece of 10,000 pieces of semi-waste jade, Ding Ning picked it up, and came to the counter next to it to polish the jade.

"This master, polish these jade stones for me to be the size of a glass ball for children to play with, well, make a small hole in the middle, which can be used to string a bracelet necklace or something. ”

The master looked at it: "Cheng, I can make about 120 beads in total, and the manual fee is 31, so pay 3,060." ”

Ding Ning took out the money, clicked it, and there were exactly three thousand six left, all of which were handed over to the polishing master.

"It will take some time, you can come and pick up the goods at noon. ”

The grinding master took the money and immediately started work.

Ding Ning nodded and agreed, picked up the goods at noon, there was nothing to do in the morning, and during this time, you could visit the Tianqiao Market to see if there was anything you needed.
