Chapter 125: Antique Market in the Basement
"I'm back." Brother Qiu nodded and said to the young man, "Be smart, and let me know if there's any movement."
"Hehe, Brother Qiu, don't worry, I'm keeping an eye out." After the young man said this, he quickly opened the door of the factory and let Su Qing and the others enter.
"Your place is really remote, where is the flower market?" The one asking the question was the woman of Brother Qiu from before. She was obviously a little nervous but strong and calm.
In fact, except for Su Qing, the other women were also nervous. After all, this place was really remote. If something happened, they would not be able to run away. Two or three of them actually regretted it a little. They regretted why they followed here so easily. At this time, they had unconsciously moved closer to each other and looked at Brother Qiu vigilantly, fearing that several men would suddenly rush out and want to arrest them.
"Don't worry, we're here now. You'll know whether I've lied to you or not after a look." Brother Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he understood in his heart. After all, this place was indeed a bit remote, especially since these people were all women. It was normal for them to be suspicious of him. He was also convinced that all the people who came here this time were women. If there was a man, he would not be suspected like this.
"We're here." Brother Qiu led Su Qing and the others into the factory. When they came to the iron gate, he opened it and said to Su Qing and the others, "It's right downstairs. Follow me."
Su Qing took a look and saw a staircase leading downstairs behind the iron gate.
"Why are you still in the basement?" A woman didn't dare to go in. She felt more and more nervous the more she thought about it, so she took two steps back.
"Oh, big sister, this is a black market, especially with so many things that are hard to move. If we don't keep it hidden, if someone finds us here, we'll be in trouble." Brother Qiu said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'm not a human trafficker. We're doing real business, so you can rest assured."
Su Qing said to Brother Qiu: "You lead the way."
Brother Qiu looked at Su Qing curiously. Among the women, Su Qing was obviously the youngest. But along the way, Brother Qiu discovered that Su Qing was the calmest. She was completely different from the other women. She did not show any fear, and her voice was extremely calm when she spoke.
"Okay." Brother Qiu said with a smile: "Follow me."
Having said that, he went into the basement first.
The other women obviously noticed Su Qing's calmness, and they subconsciously leaned behind Su Qing and followed her into the basement.
"Look, what do you think? I didn't lie to you." Brother Qiu pointed at the people who were trading in the basement and said to Su Qing and the others. He sighed in his heart. It was not easy for him to attract some customers, but he was suspected all the way!
The stairs to the basement are spiral staircases. When Su Qing reached the basement, she discovered that there was a super large hall in the basement. The hall was brightly lit and there were many people setting up stalls in the hall. Those stalls did not sell ordinary food and clothing, but antiques, calligraphy and paintings. It was basically similar to the antique markets of later generations.
Moreover, there were actually quite a few people visiting these stalls.
"Didn't you say you had some jadeite raw stone?" a woman behind Su Qing asked.
“Yes.” Brother Qiu said with a smile: “The raw stones are not here. If you are not interested in the things in these stalls, I will take you to see the raw stones first.”
"Okay, we're going to go see the rough stone."
Obviously, these women were attracted by the jadeite raw stones.
Naturally, Su Qing also came for the raw stone, so Su Qing and a few others followed Brother Qiu to the left side of the hall, where there was also an iron door. No noise was heard before it was opened, but after it was opened, Su Qing heard the noisy sounds inside.
"Quick, quick, quick, cut it twice more and see."
"Oh, there is quite a lot of emerald green in this piece."
"Yes, it has risen sharply!"
……
Amid the noisy voices, there was the harsh creaking of machines and some choking dust, but obviously, these did not affect people's enthusiasm. Everyone's attention was focused on a machine that was cutting a piece of stone. A man poured a bowl of water on the stone, revealing a crystal clear green color.
"Yeah, it's really beautiful."
"So beautiful! It turns out that jade is cut from these stones."
The women who came with Brother Qiu had apparently forgotten their fear, and were now staring at the partially exposed jade with sparkling eyes.
"What do you think? I said I didn't lie." Brother Qiu emphasized with a smile.
"Haha, sorry." The women felt a little embarrassed and apologized to Brother Qiu for their suspicion just now.
"It's okay, it's okay, I understand. So, you can just look here. Over there are the raw stones you can buy." Brother Qiu pointed to the piles of large and small stones on the other side of the room and said, "If you want to buy raw stones, you can ask Ah Sheng."
As he spoke, Brother Qiu called out to a man sitting on the other side of the pile of raw stones: "Ah Sheng, if these comrades want to buy raw stones, please treat them."
"Okay, Brother Qiu, don't worry." The man named Ah Sheng responded, then walked over with a smile and said to Su Qing and the others, "If you want to buy raw stones, you can ask me for the price. These raw stones are of different sizes and qualities, and the prices are also different. When you buy the raw stones, you can open them here. If you want to sell them, there are bosses from Xiangcheng here. If they like your jadeite, they will make an offer."
Su Qing and the others nodded. Su Qing looked at the excited and noisy crowd over there and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. She thought of the people from Xiangcheng in Baihua Mountain. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people from Xiangcheng who came here.
As they were talking, someone over there exclaimed, "Oh, it's such a big piece."
Suddenly, this exclamation attracted the attention of Su Qing and others. Su Qing hurried over and saw a man next to the cutting machine holding a piece of jadeite half the size of a basketball and pouring a cup of water on it. Suddenly, under the light, the light green jadeite was shining brightly and was extremely beautiful. Next to him, an excited man was shaking his hands as he took the jadeite and smiled from ear to ear.
"Comrade, are you selling this jadeite?" someone asked in the crowd.
As soon as that person spoke, Su Qing knew where he was from. His accent was exactly the same as that of the people in Baihua Mountain.
"Sell, sell." The man holding the jade nodded hurriedly. Jade looks good, but money looks better. The jade is not worth eating or drinking here now. Instead of leaving it there, it would be better to sell it to the big bosses in Xiangcheng.
