Yunzhen, Antique Street.
The antique street of this era was rather shabby and did not cover a large area, but its location was quite impressive. Next door was the commercial city built by the government, which had already taken shape.
Qin Shu didn't know that Xie Lanzhi happened to come to the commercial city for inspection today.
Qin Shu strolled along the stalls on both sides of the antique street at a leisurely pace.
She had no idea what to do, so she just wandered around aimlessly. When she passed by the stall of a skinny man with a pale face, Qin Shu stopped walking.
The middle-aged man was puffing on his pipe, and when he saw a young girl coming, he just raised his eyelids.
His voice was hoarse. “The ones on the left are 5 yuan, and the ones on the right are 8 to 15 yuan. You can pick whatever you want.”
Qin Shu looked neither to the left nor to the right, but stared at the stone bench under the middle-aged man's buttocks.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but this inconspicuous stone bench emitted a white mist that was looming, like the air flow visible to the naked eye in midsummer.
Qin Shu calmly shifted her gaze away and squatted in front of the stall to check out other exhibits.
She picked up a wine jar at random, unable to tell whether it was real or fake, put it back where it was and picked up a blue and white bowl.
She touched everything on the stall, and the middle-aged man didn't say a word.
Qin Shu suddenly looked up: "Boss, do you know where to sell jade?"
The middle-aged man finally reacted at this time, disappointment revealed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and pointed into the street.
"There is a jade shop inside. They have business every day. You can go there and take a look."
Qin Shu put something in her hand, her voice was crisp and sweet: "Thank you, boss."
The middle-aged man nodded lightly and said no more.
Qin Shu pointed to the stone bench where he was sitting and said, "I want the stone bench under you. Do you want to sell it to me?"
The middle-aged man blinked and showed a confused expression.
After a few seconds, he stood up with an excited look on his face: "Sell! Sell!"
Maybe some business finally came, the middle-aged man was a little at a loss. He took out a towel from the dusty cloth bag on the ground and wiped the stone bench very carefully.
Qin Shu said with a smile: "You don't have to wipe it, just give me a price."
The middle-aged man paused, clenched his hand holding the towel into a fist, and there was confusion and hesitation in his eyes.
He could tell that Qin Shu was either rich or noble. Whether it was the way she was dressed or her temperament that was out of place in this street, she didn't look like someone who was short of money.
Anyone who meets such a big customer would make a lot of money from him.
A hint of obscurity flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes, and he looked up at Qin Shu's gentle smiling eyes.
The words that were on the tip of his tongue could not be uttered for some reason.
After a long silence, the man gritted his teeth and said, "You decide."
This piece of broken stone is not valuable at all. He didn't buy it. He just picked it up from the street.
How could Qin Shu, who had more experience than her husband, not see the man's dilemma? Seeing that the man was pale and thin, with red bloodshot eyes, she thought that he must have encountered some difficulties.
She didn't immediately offer a price, but smiled and asked, "Can I see this stone bench?"
The man stepped aside and said, "Look."
Qin Shu walked forward and touched the side of the stone bench, wanting to take a closer look to see if it was jade.
However, as soon as her hand touched the stone bench, the white mist turned into flowing light spots and flowed into her body.
Qin Shu was shocked and opened her eyes wide.
This... this is energy? !
She felt her palm go numb and quickly withdrew her hand.
No one saw the excitement hidden in Qin Shu's lowered eyes.
Found it!
She actually found the jade that can obtain energy!
The middle-aged man could not see the previous magical and strange scene. He stared at Qin Shu, who was squatting in front of the stone bench without saying a word, anxiously.
“I want this stone bench!”
Qin Shu didn't dare to touch the stone bench again, fearing that something might be wrong. She stood up and looked at the middle-aged man with a smile.
"Okay! Thank you, thank you..."
The man was so excited that he was incoherent and didn't dare to ask the price.
Qin Shu took out a hundred-dollar bill from her pocket and handed it over.
“This…this is too much!”
The man looked at the banknotes in front of him and didn't dare to reach out to take them.
Qin Shu stuffed the money into the man's hand and turned away: "Just take it."
The man held the money in his hand, his hands trembling with excitement. He glanced at the stone bench at his feet and shouted, "Girl! You haven't taken your stone bench yet!"
Qin Shu seemed not to hear and kept walking forward.
"Give me the stuff!"
A hoarse, majestic male voice sounded.
The middle-aged man looked at the man in front of the stall, who was about 1.80 meters tall, had a strong aura, and had ordinary looks, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Xie family confidant: "It was my young lady just now. She gave you money. Give me the things."
"Oh, okay—"
The middle-aged man carefully put away the money and handed the heavy stone bench to the man.
After Xie's confidant left, the middle-aged man walked to the small tent of one square meter built with blue cloth behind him, and hugged the little boy who was sleeping inside.
He gently kissed the little boy's forehead, his tone full of joy.
"Son, Dad has made money, so I can sell meat for you to eat."
The sleeping little boy's face was abnormally red, and he was mumbling faintly.
"Dad, I feel so bad..."
The middle-aged man Gu Zhengping immediately showed an anxious expression: "Doudou, what's wrong with you?"
The little boy Doudou cried, "My stomach hurts. It hurts where my mom kicked me."
Gu Zhengping's thin face revealed a gloomy expression, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Wei Qianqian, you bitch!"
*
Qin Shu came to the jade shop that Gu Zhengping mentioned and found that there were indeed more people here than other places.
Most of the customers are well-dressed, and the stuff in the shop is... genuine and reasonably priced!
Qin Shu walked into the store, her eyes shining with joy.
The jade stones on the shelves here all emit a white mist, especially the raw stones in the central glass cabinet that have been cut open to reveal the finest jadeite.
The weight and composition of this piece of jade are obviously excellent, so the white mist it emits is even richer.
At this moment, Qin Shu was finally sure.
The white mist she saw with her naked eyes represented the grade of the jade.
After confirming this, Qin Shu immediately started shopping in the store and caught several eyes at first sight.
However, these jades are very valuable, and the price is astronomical for ordinary people. A random piece can cost tens of thousands.
Qin Shu made a rough estimate and found that the items she was interested in were the store's most valuable treasures.
Including the piece of raw jade the size of a basketball placed in the glass cabinet, I estimate the total cost would be hundreds of thousands.
Qin Shu endured the pain and called the clerk: "Call your boss, I want this piece, this piece... and the few pieces of jade over there, and the half-cut rough stone in the glass cabinet. Ask your boss if there is any discount."
When the clerk heard that she bought the most expensive jade in the store, his eyes lit up.
