Chapter 18

Not long after, Brother Piao came out holding a white woven bag.

He packed the stuck rough stone, sealed it with tape, and handed Liu De a marker pen.

"Afternoon, National Gate, three o'clock." Brother Piao Guo whispered.

"Wait, which country?" Guan Fei asked.

My sister has two gates to the country.

A large country gate has more tourists, and there are duty-free shops and other supporting commercial facilities next to it; a small country gate has more Pyu border residents coming in and out.

The little brother gestured and talked for a while, but no one understood a word.

Finally, he had no choice but to take out his cell phone, which was an old-fashioned candy bar. After dialing a number and chattering for a while, he handed the phone to Guan Fei.

"Hello, how are you?" Guan Fei asked tentatively.

"Afternoon, three o'clock Piao country time. Duty-free shop, on the street behind, check out the goods." The other person on the phone said awkwardly.

Guan Fei handed the phone back to the younger brother and nodded.

Liu De wrote his phone number on the bag, handed the marker back, and said threateningly to the little brother: "Bring some good things to see this afternoon. If it's still like this, there will be no more tips in the future."

The little brother nodded and patted his chest, "Don't worry, boss, my stuff is very spicy."

Then he made a phone call gesture and carried the rough stone back to the store.

"Let's go to Jimao and have a look. It's okay if we don't get anything today." Zhang Lingchong said to Guan Fei and Liu De.

"Brother, you go ahead. I have a customer who asked me to help find an egg noodle. I'll go to the noodle section to have a look." Zhang Xiao said.

"How about I come with you to have a look? Find a ring for my old lady." Guan Fei said.

"Anything is fine."

Zhang Xiao nodded in agreement.

Guan Fei took out the rest of the cash from the morning from his bag and handed it to Liu De, "You guys go ahead, Boss Xiao and I will go take a look and give me a share of any good stuff."

Liu De took the money and nodded, "Go ahead, we'll call you if we have suitable materials."

The time has reached around nine o'clock, and stalls in the finished product area of ​​Yucheng have begun to sell out one after another.

Guan Fei followed Zhang Xiao and wandered slowly towards the warning area.

Zhang Xiao stopped from time to time, picked up the pendant at a roadside stall, looked at it, asked about the price, and took some photos with his mobile phone.

While Zhang Xiao continued walking, Guan Fei asked curiously: "Why is the price quoted when you ask for it much lower than when I ask for it?"

Zhang Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, "Guan Fei, you look like a tourist at first glance, and you look strange. Of course, they quoted you the tourist price. If you have nothing to do, come to these finished product areas to look around and make yourself familiar."

If you take a photo again, the merchant will think that you are here to help find the goods, so of course they will give you the price of the same seller."

"I see."

Guan Fei nodded.

"Also, by asking more about prices, you can also grasp the market conditions. After shopping for a few months, you will roughly know the price range of the finished products you made from stones. You can also bid on the stones in the future.

It’s more accurate. It’s all here.”

Zhang Xiao tirelessly taught Guan Fei a lot of introductory knowledge.

It turns out that in the market there is not only a selling price, a reserve price, but also a buyout price.

That is to say, after negotiating with the owner of the goods, the goods will be bought out at a very low price without return or exchange.

Only then did Guan Fei realize that there were so many particularities in the finished product market.

"Are there any fake things on this market?" Guan Fei asked with concern.

After all, according to my original knowledge, there are endless ways to fake jadeite products.

"Get started and take a closer look. The current counterfeiting method is nothing more than pickling and glue injection. Under normal circumstances, this type of finished product is strictly prohibited in the market. If you buy it at a fixed stall, you can directly

Returned. But the probability is not high, after all, everyone has been setting up stalls for a long time. And everyone is an insider, and you can tell by getting started with general pickling and glue injection." Liu Xiao explained.

After thinking for a while, he added: "This situation sometimes happens with ring noodles. After all, the size of the ring noodles is too small. Occasionally, when the owner purchases the ring noodles in Piao State, he will also receive pickled and glue-injected items. But generally

We will issue an identification certificate before shipping, and you can return it when you come back to the stall owner with the certificate."

The two of them walked all the way to the Jiemian area.

Zhang Xiao quickly got into work mode and picked up the rings one by one and started looking at them.

Guan Fei also followed Liu Xiao's example and started choosing at the stall.

After all, I made money yesterday, so I picked one or two rings to set two rings for the old lady at home. It would be quite good to make the old lady happy.

Over the years, I have become accustomed to spending a lot of money. Except for the first few days of my internship, when I bought a set of low-quality tea sets for the old man with the few hundred yuan I saved from my salary, I basically never bought anything for my parents.

Suddenly, Guan Fei's eyes lit up.

In a small tray, an oval white ice flower ring less than one centimeter caught his attention.

The surface of the ring is only less than one centimeter in size, and there is a light green flower-colored root in the middle that runs through the entire surface of the ring.

The floating flowers are lively and make the whole ring look very playful.

He stretched out his hand and smiled, "Help me take a look at this."

Guan Fei pointed to the ring surface in the tray.

"Hey, this ring has a nice surface and is quite beautiful. Sister, how much does it cost?"

Zhang Xiao picked up the ring and put it in his hand, looked at it, and asked.

"The selling price is five hundred." A woman from the Pyo country opposite, who smeared some unknown yellow powder on her face, glanced at the ring in Zhang Xiao's hand and said.

"Is it okay to buy out for 100?" Zhang Xiao asked.

"I'll give it to you." The woman opposite did not ask Zhang Xiao for a price.

He readily agreed to the deal, which immediately made Guan Fei feel good about him.

"The prices of this sister's products are very reasonable. I often go to her to buy goods." Zhang smiled and said to Guan Fei.

Guan Fei nodded and said to the woman opposite: "Can I transfer money via WeChat?"

"Okay, little handsome guy, help me buy a few more, and we'll settle the bill together later." The woman said with a kind smile.

Guan Fei was so excited at the words "Little Handsome Boy", he nodded, and started searching at the stall again.

The woman took out a small plastic bag, took the ring in Zhang Xiao's hand and put it inside.

Guan Fei curiously picked up a small tray, which contained five lavender rings. The bright color attracted Guan Fei's attention.

"Boss Xiao, help me take a look at this." Guan Fei greeted.

"Hey, purple egg noodles, they won't die in the light, this is pretty good."

Zhang Xiao took the egg noodles from Guan Fei and looked at them.

Zhang Xiao picked one up and put it in the palm of his hand, then adjusted the flashlight light to a relatively dark setting.

The aperture is close to the ring surface but does not hit the ring surface directly, and moves slowly.

"What are you looking for?" Guan Fei asked curiously.

"It's more obvious this way. Through the refraction of the skin, it is easy to see whether there are internal cracks on the ring surface. Some small loose cotton and small cracks cannot be seen under direct light. No, look."
