Chapter 318: The Old Han People in the Uyghur District
"Brother Ouyang, why are you here?!"
Su Qingqing raised her head and saw Ouyang Jun, and was immediately surprised and delighted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ouyang Jun was also stunned, looked at Su Qingqing and then at Huo Sining, paused for a few seconds and suddenly laughed: "I said why my eyelids jumped today, it turned out that I was going to meet an old acquaintance!"
Just when Ji Kun answered the phone to call Ouyang Dashao, Huo Sining faintly guessed that Ouyang Jun was from the imperial capital, and he was interested in things like jade and jade, so this Ji Kun's friend should not be him.
However, she felt that it was not such a coincidence, so even if she had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask, and now that she saw that the person who came was really Ouyang Jun, she suddenly felt ridiculous.
If they had known that Ouyang Jun would also come to Hotan, they would definitely not act alone, and would definitely come with Ouyang Jun.
"You ...... Acquaintance?"
Ji Kun heard the conversation between these people and asked in some surprise.
Ouyang Jun nodded: "These are my friends, how did you come together?"
Ji Kun smiled: "It's nothing, I encountered a little trouble, just thanks to the help of these little girls." ”
Ouyang Jun didn't ask much when he heard this, looked at the time, and asked, "Do you still want to catch the market?"
Ji Kun shook his head: "I'm just stopping by to take a look, let's get busy with your business first." ”
Ouyang Jun nodded: "That's okay, I've already found a guide, let's go with him." ”
Speaking of this, Ouyang Jun remembered Huo Sining a few, and turned to look at Huo Sining:
"Are you also here to buy jade? We are going to the countryside to receive the goods, those farmers have a lot of jade materials in their homes, which is more real than those in these markets, why don't you go with us to have a look?"
Huo Sining and Bai Yishan were okay to say, but Su Qingqing was full of interest: "Go, go, I haven't seen what the countryside in the Victorian District looks like!"
"Let's go, the car is parked at the entrance of the market, and we can catch lunch while it's early." Ouyang Jun took the lead and walked out, and the others hurriedly followed behind him.
The Hummer walked very fast on the road, and soon came to a village at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains under the guidance of his guide.
The car stopped at a villager's house, and a middle-aged man named Alimu warmly received Huo Sining and his party.
Looking at this Alimu's eyes with excitement and enthusiasm, Huo Sining also knew that the guide was afraid that he had brought people to settle in this family's house.
Lunch was eaten at the family's house, and after a break in the afternoon, Alimu took a group of people to go door-to-door to see the goods.
The mining of Hetian jade is similar to that of jadeite, and after the discovery of Hetian jade, it will not only attract a large number of local villagers to mine, but also attract many outsiders who want to come to pan for gold.
Because the excavation of jade not only makes it scarce, but also destroys the mountain, the government quickly seals the mine and prevents the villagers from mining it on their own.
The government's intervention has deprived many villagers of the opportunity to make a fortune, but real locals will not be unable to find jade because of the closure of the mines.
Some of the local villagers have been living with jade for generations, and with the rich experience passed down from their ancestors, they can always dig up the best Hetian jade in the mountains or rivers that have not been bought out.
Because of the confusion of jade and mountain materials and Gobi materials in the market, and the fact that some people are cheating, it is difficult to judge with complete certainty that those jade are seeds.
The jade in the village is basically a fine collection of villagers, as long as the price is appropriate, the possibility of fake seed material is much lower.
This is also the reason why Ouyang Jun does not go to the market, but has to drive so far to the local villagers' homes to receive the goods.
Ouyang Jun's idea was right, but what disappointed him was that it was not a coincidence that he came back this time, in order to let the farmers have money for the New Year, this year the Hotan County Government came up with a new policy, and a three-day Hetian jade fair will be held before the year.
Because there is no threshold for the jade fair, you only need to pay an entrance fee of fifty yuan to participate, of course these villagers are happy, most of the retail households who quarry and dig jade have already transported the goods to the county seat, although Ouyang Jun explained his intention, but the quality of the several batches of goods he saw was not good.
Ouyang Jun rushed all the way to Hotan to buy jade, of course he didn't want to return empty-handed, seeing this result, he was not discouraged, there were many villages in the area of Hotan left and right, and this village did not have one, so he went to the next village to see.
The guide was a little embarrassed, and took Ouyang Jun and a few people to prepare to go back to Alimu's house, but when he just walked to the end of the village, he heard a noisy curse from a house.
"A broken stone, not suitable for food and clothing, you have been guarding it for a lifetime, what do you do not sell it and pay it back?" A man's curse came from the courtyard, "If Lao Tzu doesn't use this stone as a bargaining chip today, his life will be taken away by them!"
"You dare! This stone was bought by your father with his life, and you don't want to gamble with it!"
The woman's scolding voice was sharp and angry: "I have warned you a long time ago, don't associate with those people, those people will put a trap on you, and you will just drill into it! Medcon, I will tell you plainly today, if you sell this stone today, you will wait to collect the body of the old lady!"
Huo Sining heard the voice, his steps paused, and his face showed a puzzled look: "This person is speaking Chinese, how can he ......?"
Along the way, in addition to the guide and translator, most of the Uyghurs still speak Uyghur, even Alimu, a Uyghur who often deals with Han Chinese, occasionally when communicating with Huo Sining, the Mandarin he speaks is also very lame, full of Uyghur tones.
But the two people in this courtyard quarreled in extremely fluent Mandarin, and Huo Sining couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
Not only Huo Sining, but also Ouyang Jun and Ji Kun who were traveling with him were also full of suspicion. The guide hurriedly asked Alimu the reason, Alimu's face showed a trace of helplessness, and explained softly: "This is the Mei family, an old Han family in the Wei District. ”
"What is an old Han man?" asked Su Qingqing hurriedly.
"It is the Han people who have settled in the Uyghur area before the founding of the People's Republic of China. ”
"This Mei family was originally a wealthy family in our place, and they had several houses in the county, and they all moved to the city. However, her son didn't know what was going on in the past few years, he was addicted to gambling, and he played a lot, losing several big houses in the county, and even losing all the family's savings. ”
Alimu was concise and to the point, but everyone in his company understood.
The gambler's heart is easy to understand, it is difficult to come out after being trapped, the more you lose, the more unwilling you are, the more you hope to get the capital back in a game, but the result is to fall into a dead loop, the more you lose, the more you can get out.
