Tengchong is an important city both now and in the past, connected with Myanmar, and was the key point of the ancient Southwest Silk Road in ancient times, and is also known as the "first city of jade".

With this name, it is not actually a place where jadeite is abundant, but a lot of jadeite processing comes from here.

If it weren't for Li Quan's saying that this batch of jadeite rough stones shipped from Myanmar this time was in better condition, and it was also possible that a batch of goods that had passed through Myanmar's public market in the near future would not have left the antique shop that was about to open at this time and ran over.

There were a total of four people on this trip, except for Li Quan and Wei Degang, Su Zhe and Xia Ke walked together.

Xia Ke was originally reluctant to go, Su Zhe felt that she had been guarding the flower shop for so long, and he rarely traveled with her, so it was a good thing to take her out to see the outside world at this time.

It's not that Xia Ke doesn't want to go with Su Zhe, if it is the two of them alone, they are the happiest. just knew that Su Zhe was here to do business, and Li Quan and Wei Degang were with them, and they knew the previous relationship between her and Su Zhe, so they couldn't let go for a while.

However, after arriving in Tengchong, Li Quan's expression was no different from usual, as if the change in her relationship with Su Zhe was not a little strange to them, and in this way, it was much easier.

Xia Ke knows better than anyone that she can have today's life because Su Zhe made her fortune by gambling stones. remembered that Su Zhe's eyes were not good at that time, and it was completely a blind cat that killed the mouse to make him gamble.

Sometimes I miss the old days, when Su Zhe was not so busy, the most important thing is that he would not skip class;

I know very well in my heart that the boy has ambitions in all directions. Su Zhe has his own business, so it's a good thing to keep busy. As a woman, I want him to have more time with him.

In this regard, women have always been more cautious. Especially Xia Ke, she and Su Zhe have gone through so many hardships to get together, and they cherish their time together.

However, there are some things that are nostalgic and nostalgic, and to be able to have a comfortable life like today without any fear, Xia Ke will not say that he wants to go back to living that kind of life.

If you say that kind of thing, you will be reviled by others.

His life after being with Su Zhe is happy, he is obedient to himself, and he puts her first in everything. There were several times when Su Zhe wanted her to go home to see her parents, but she didn't agree, and in the end she didn't force it.

It's not that Xia Ke doesn't think about his parents in his heart, and he probably has complaints in his heart. Since she was a child, her father didn't like her, and everything was towards her younger brother. She hasn't heard from her for the past two years, and I wonder if they're worried.

It is naturally not good to have such thoughts as a child, Xia Ke just failed to release this breath for the time being. Su Zhe pulled her through Tengchong, thinking that after this trip, she could let go of some of the obsessiveness in her heart and go home when things were not so busy.

Whether her father likes her or not, at least her mother will always be worried.

After arriving at the hotel, we discussed that although the time was relatively short, we should not make the itinerary too tight. Li Quan and Wei De had just gone to meet Chen Xiang, and Su Zhe and Xia Ke had rested at the hotel for a while to get ready to wander around.

Tengchong is a jadeite processing city in the end, and Su Zhe is in the jewelry business, wanting to take advantage of the past few days to gamble on stones, whether he can learn from other people's carved things, and then integrate his own ideas into processing some jewelry.

After going out, after asking some local waiters from the hotel where the jade was sold around, Su Zhe and Xia Ke took a taxi directly.

Tengchong is at the junction with Myanmar, and as an important city for jadeite processing, there are people from cities from all over the world.

In ancient times, there was a saying that "the poor go to the stone in a hurry", which means that if people are poor, they can go to Myanmar to find development, and if they are anxious to use money, they can go to the jade mining area to find a windfall.

This kind of mood of wanting to be a tyrant overnight has existed in ancient times.

When he arrived at the place where all kinds of jade jewelry were sold, Xia Ke took Su Zhe's arm and looked at the dazzling array of jewelry on the street, feeling excited.

In Kuncheng, Xia Ke and Su Zhe always have some concerns when they go shopping. When I arrived here, I was not familiar with the place, I was not afraid of being seen, and I was in a relaxed mood.

Walking to a shop where I was buying accessories, the person in charge of the store was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with two thick braids. Seeing Su Zhe and Xia Ke coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

In the past, in Kuncheng jewelry stores, even if it was C-grade jade, the price was not low. And here, the jewelry, pendants and other things in the substandard processing city are several times cheaper than the wholesale price in Kuncheng.

If it weren't for the fact that the jewelry store was doing a mid-to-high-end route, Su Zhe wondered if he should be a profiteer and wholesale a bunch of them and sell them indiscriminately.

This is just a thought that flashed through his mind, and Su Zhe didn't want to smash the signboard of the entire Ruiding Day because he made money for a while.

Xia Ke picked a peach object among a pile of various ornaments, weighed it in his hand and asked, "How much is this?"

The girl glanced at Xia Ke's hand, hesitated for a moment and stretched out five palms, and then shook her head again and again to change to three.

"Thirty?" Xia Ke didn't understand her gesture.

The girl shook her head busily, and said with a red face: "Three, three hundred"

Xia Keliu frowned, and asked hesitantly, "Can it be less?"

The girl shook her hand, but her mouth did not speak. At this time, Su Zhe noticed that the girl in front of him had been blushing, as if she was a little introverted and didn't dare to speak.

The girl is not short, but she is thin, as if she is not developed. The yellow short-sleeved pants she was wearing didn't look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at all, and they didn't match at all.

Su Zhe took the peach jade jade piece in Xia Ke's hand, and he didn't need to look closely to know that this was an ordinary handicraft, and the jade used was a bean seed, or the worst kind. This kind of jade piece, if it is a wholesale price, I am afraid it is a few yuan a piece, and selling it for three hundred yuan is simply a lion's mouth.

The girl refused to reduce the price, and Xia Ke didn't like the peach jade piece too much. After putting it down, I picked out another one on it, and suddenly I saw a jade bracelet in one of the wooden lattices.

Xia Ke picked it up and looked at it carefully, she didn't know whether the jade was good or bad, but the jade bracelet in her hand was spread with emerald green all over her body, crystal clear. In addition to this, there is a layer of golden silk rings between the emerald green, which looks like it interferes with the emerald green, but with this gold, it makes the jade bracelet much more high-end.

Holding it in his hand, Xia Ke put it in his hand again and tried it on. The size is rigid, not loose or tight, and she loves it even more. Xia Ke didn't understand the grade of jadeite varieties, but he had been following Su Zhe for so long, and he had listened to him talk about jadeite from time to time, and he also knew a little about it.

They came to Tengchong this time, this is a jadeite processing city, and now the shops that set up stalls here will naturally not have very high-end jadeite. But sometimes, what you like is not measured by money, just like the jade bracelet in front of Xia Ke likes it.

Taking it off his hand, Xia Ke took the jade bracelet and asked the girl, "Can you help me find another jade bracelet for me?" ”

Jade bracelets are generally in pairs, like the dragon and phoenix bracelets that have been passed down from many families in ancient times.

The girl glanced at the jade bracelet in Xia Ke's hand, lowered her head and looked for the grid in front of her, and finally found one in the next grid that was exactly the same as the jade bracelet in Xia Ke's hand. Xia Ke took it over and compared, although the other gold was a little more than the one just now, but the gloss and smoothness of the water head were the same, it should be a pair.

"How do you sell this pair of jade bracelets?" Xia Ke likes this pair of jade bracelets very much, and if the price is not ridiculously expensive, he will not bargain and buy it.

The girl hesitated, and said, "Eight, eight hundred."

When Xia Ke looked at the jade bracelet, Su Zhe's eyes turned around the other barriers. There are a lot of tourists here, and there are people standing in every stall. Hearing Xia Ke ask the price, he turned around. His eyes fell on the pair of jade bracelets in her hand, and Su Zhe glanced at it slightly, and let out a surprised sound of "huh" in his mouth.

"Ke'er, bring me the jade bracelet. ”

After taking it, Su Zhe took a serious look, and the shallow bottom contained yellow, which looked like a golden silk species. However, Su Zhe soon noticed that the ribbon on it was a little different from the golden silk species, it was a silk-like parallel arrangement of tendons, which was more inclined to the emerald silk species.

In some sources, yellow and green were arranged in a parallel pattern of filaments and ribs, and jadeite with a directional structure was called goldenrod. In fact, if you separate the golden silk species from the trisi species, the appreciation aspect will be clearer.

According to the situation of the gold silk species and the jade silk species, Su Zhe judged that the manufacturing material of the previous pair of jade bracelets was the gold jade species. This kind of jadeite is a combination of gold silk species and emerald silk species, and from the sufficiency and crystalline degree of the water head, this is the old pit glass species.

Su Zhe was surprised while watching, he actually found a valuable Laokeng glass gold emerald seed in this kind of stall, and the price was not only eight hundred yuan.

I was about to watch further, and the jade bracelet in my hand sent a cool breath to my eyes. In the sultry season of June, suddenly the body is cool, like the breeze of the valley, which makes the body refreshed.

Damn, you won't be so lucky!

Su Zhe sighed in his heart, and the information transmitted back from his eyes was that the pair of jade bracelets in his hand were very likely to be items from the Qing Dynasty.

Su Zhe didn't speak, and Xia Ke asked, "How is it, is eight hundred yuan expensive?"

"No, this price is not expensive, it's rare that you like it, so you won't bargain. Su Zhe smiled slightly, and he didn't feel guilty about buying a pair of valuable Qing Dynasty jade bracelets at such a low price.

Su Zhe said this, Xia Ke didn't make a counteroffer, paid the money and wore the jade bracelet directly in his hand.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked to the stall from the house, looked at the jade bracelet in Xia Ke's hand, and asked the girl again. Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and he raised his head and slapped the girl.

Su Zhe and Xia Ke looked stunned and didn't figure out what was going on, when they heard the middle-aged man say: "Two of you, I'm really sorry, we don't sell that pair of jade bracelets." ”
