Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 394 Jade Bazaar
In Zhao Lei's impression, Hotan County should be a small remote place, certainly not as prosperous as Jiangnan.But when he arrived, he was surprised to find that it was much more lively than he thought.

There are many high-end hotels and entertainment venues in the county, and there are even more luxury cars on the street than in Guangyue County, Zhao Lei's hometown. Looking at the license plates, there are all over the country, which really surprised Zhao Lei.

Jiang Xudong also noticed Zhao Lei's expression, and explained to him with a smile: "This is the distribution center for jade merchants traveling from south to north, which naturally also drives the development of the local economy. These days are the peak trading season for jade seeds. One One-third of the annual jade trade is completed during this period, so this place will be particularly lively recently!"

"So that's the case!" Zhao Lei suddenly realized and nodded, feeling that he had come to the right place.Since it is the peak season for jade trading, it is time to seize this good opportunity and buy as much jade seeds as possible for Zijin Gourd to absorb.If you can buy enough high-quality jade seeds, maybe Zijin Gourd will be able to evolve.

As Jiang Xudong said, right now is the peak season for jade trading, so almost all the hotels in the county are fully booked.Fortunately, Jiang Xudong, who has been here many times, was prepared and booked a few rooms before departure, so that everyone would not sleep on the street.

Everyone rested in the hotel for one night, and went to a place called "Bayanji" to buy jade seeds the next day.

Bayanji is more than 70 kilometers away from Hotan County. It is a small place and cannot be found on many maps.However, this is the largest jade seed material trading market in the local area. When Zhao Lei, Jiang Xudong and others came here, they found hundreds of good cars parked beside the road. It was like a luxury car exhibition.

You don't need to ask to know that these cars are all driven by the boss who bought the jade.Zhao Lei and Jiang Xudong parked the car and went separately to Bayanji to buy jade seeds.

Before breaking up, Jiang Xudong reminded Zhao Lei that when buying things here, it doesn't matter if you look at it or ask the price, but you must be cautious in counter-offering.If the seller accepts your counteroffer, it must be bought, or you could be in trouble.

Zhao Lei remembered Jiang Xudong's kind reminder and started to visit the jade market.In the small Bayanji, there are at least dozens of jade wholesalers, and a large number of seeds with stone skins are piled up on the shelves at the door according to categories, allowing customers to choose at will.

As for whether these seeds can produce high-quality jade wool after buying them back and peeling off the stone skin, it all depends on the vision and luck of the selector.

However, compared with rough jadeite, Hetian jade seed material is not so gambled.Most experienced people can get a rough idea, and it is unlikely that they will lose their fortune or get rich overnight.

Although Zhao Lei doesn't know how to appreciate jade at all, but he has a purple gold gourd by his side, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about being cheated.He went straight to the door of the nearest jade wholesaler, ready to show off.

Zhao Lei knew very well that there is only the truth in this world that there is only wrong buying and no wrong selling, and he didn't think about picking up a big mistake. He just asked the prices of different seed materials, and then began to choose in front of the most expensive shelf.

Zhao Lei's method of selecting seeds is very simple, that is, put the seeds close to the purple gold gourd, the stronger the induction of the purple gold gourd, the better the jade quality of the seed will be.

Taking advantage of this great advantage, Zhao Lei quickly picked out a bunch of seeds.Zhao Lei paid the boss more than 3 yuan according to the price negotiated in advance, and then left with the selected seeds, and went to the next merchant's booth to continue the process just now.

Before the morning passed, Zhao Lei had already patronized several businesses and spent more than 30 RMB.Of course, his harvest was also very rich. There was a big bag of various jade seeds, which weighed dozens of catties.It is also thanks to Zhao Lei's strength that is greater than that of ordinary people, otherwise it would be a bit difficult to carry so many seeds around.

Having so many gains made Zhao Lei secretly happy.If he could stay here for a few more days and buy more high-quality jade, he might be able to evolve Zijin Gourd again.

However, Zhao Lei's method of selecting jade seeds is simply random in the eyes of others. In the eyes of others, he naturally becomes a stick that doesn't understand anything.

Many people thought that Zhao Lei was a rich second generation, and he went to Bayanji to buy things randomly because of how much money his family had.Experts looked down on this kind of people the most, so many people looked at Zhao Lei with a little more contempt.

Zhao Lei doesn't care what others think of him, the most important thing for him is to seize this opportunity and try to buy as many high-quality jades as possible to bring back.After hastily eating some of the dry food he brought, he continued to pick out jade seeds, and soon bought a big bag.

Zhao Lei's almost reckless behavior also attracted the attention of some caring people.Several local people have been following Zhao Lei since the morning, and they are secretly observing his actions, exchanging glances with each other, looking malicious.

The patience of these people was very good, and they followed from the morning to noon, and finally made up their minds.Two people came to Zhao Lei's side, one of them patted his shoulder, and said in not-so-standard Chinese with a smile: "My friend, I see that you bought a lot of seeds."

Zhao Lei didn't really want to chatter with strangers, but when people asked him, he could only nod his head and said, "It's okay."

"Actually, I am also a wholesaler in Bayanji, and my home is over there." The local man pointed to a yard on the edge of Bayanji and said, "My home has a lot of high-quality seeds, do you want to go and have a look? "

The boss who was greeting Zhao Lei heard this man's words, showing a hint of hesitation on his face, as if he wanted to say something to Zhao Lei.But before he could open his mouth, he was glared at by another person, and he quickly lowered his head in fright, and stopped meddling in this nosy business.

Zhao Lei didn't notice this episode, and seeing that the yard was not far away, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look, as long as the quality of the seeds is good, I'll take them all."

The two of them immediately showed a hint of complacency, and the leader quickly smiled and said to Zhao Lei: "The quality of the seed material is absolutely guaranteed, just go and have a look with us and you'll know!"

Seeing the three of them walking away, the boss who sold the seeds to Zhao Lei shook his head lightly and said, "Ma Long and his gang are cheating again. It's really hurtful."

The Ma Long mentioned by the boss is the guy who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Zhao Lei.He brought Zhao Lei to his yard with a smile on his face, opened the door enthusiastically and said, "Please come in quickly, come and see my seeds!"

There were several other men in the yard. They looked at Zhao Lei who walked in, as if they saw a fish that had already been hooked.
