Chapter 21: jade

Two centuries ago, a world-renowned mineralogist divided jade into nephrite and jadeite.

Among them, jadeite is mainly jadeite. Nephrite jade mostly refers to Hetian jade.

As for other gems, such as crystal, agate, and turquoise, which are warm and lustrous, although they can also be counted as jade, people usually don't call them that, but distinguish them separately.

The Zhou's jewelry store managed by Qiao Yi'an used to focus on jade and Hetian jade.

Although the jewelry store has not been in her hands for a long time, she is very clear about some special purchase channels. In addition to buying some jewelry raw materials from all over the world every year, Zhou's Jewelry Store will also go to regularly. In the antique street, you can buy rough stones that have been solved by others. If you come across a good quality one, you can grasp the big ones. The jewelry store will also buy the wool and take it back and solve it yourself.

However, there are not many cases of direct purchase of wool materials. As the so-called ten bet nine loses, there are not a few prudent jewelry shops and studios like Zhou's Jewelry. Everyone likes to buy some after watching others solve the stone. The right ones go back and be sold separately for engraving. In this way, you can make money without taking too much risk. Although you earn less, it is still real, and you don't have to worry about losing your pants one day in the future.

After breakfast, Qiao Yian packed up his things, took the bank card, carried a clean backpack, and walked to the antique street.

The Antique Street in Xinghai City is one of the top ten most famous antique markets in China, and it is also a famous scenic spot in Xinghai City.

Unlike the storefronts for antiques and antiques in Qian Street, most of the jewelry stores and related stores selling rough jadeite and wool are located in the backstreet of Antique Street.

Qiao Yian has a clear goal for this, and naturally he walked directly to the back street of the antiques.

Walking on this antique street, Qiao Yian was baptized by the heat wave of the oncoming crowd. There was an endless stream of haggling and shouting from stalls. The whole street was very lively.

Without looking at the unopened wool on the stall, Qiao Yian didn't lift her eyelids. She turned around, and she didn't know how many turns she made, and then she got into a small alley in the back street of Antique Street. After walking for seven or eight minutes, Qiao Yian's footsteps slowly slowed down. It is not far from the memory of his previous life. Qiao Yian walked directly to one of the storefronts. This store is not small, but the store The door is extremely inconspicuous, and even two of the three store doors are closed, leaving only the middle door for people to enter and exit.

If it wasn't for Qiao Yi'an who was very familiar with this place in his previous life, most people would have thought that the store was going to close down when they saw it.

In fact, this is the performance of welcoming regular customers on the fifth day of every month!

The behind-the-scenes owner of this shop is called Sun Youde, who is a native of Xinghai City. Since his ancestors, he has been in the business of gambling and stone trading. The ancestors of the Sun family had a rule that new products could only be released on the fifth day of the first month to welcome regular customers. Before the fifth day of the first month, even if the new products were stored in the warehouse, they would not be displayed.

Therefore, when Qiao Yi'an saw the fifth day of the lunar calendar on the calendar. Her first reaction was to come to Sun Youde's store!

Instead of wandering around at the stone gambling booth and wasting powers, it is better to go to a professional stone gambling shop like Sun Youde. Although the price is a lot more expensive than the outside, the chance of greening in the end is better than that of the outside stalls. Much stronger.
