I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 1026

Although it may seem like a lot to exchange a six-pound stone for six hundred catties of grain, in fact, the amount of mutton fat jade seeds is extremely rare, and Li Xingxing found seven pieces from the entire sack.

Remove this piece, and the total weight of the remaining six pieces is less than two catties, and they are light white seeds.

Li Xingxing weighed it out with a scale, "Seven taels a catty!"

The smallest piece is only as thick as a thumb and as long as a middle finger.

Compared with other white jade scattered on the ground, the mutton fat jade is indeed white, moist and attractive.

Very oily, very waxy, very delicate, translucent, very bright.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

Ding Guozhi was very honest and the jade he brought was all good jade.

It's all seed material, all of it is top-grade white jade, with excellent whiteness, only [-]% of the seed material has skin, not the whole skin, and the skin color is different.

Hearing Li Xingxing's praise, Ding Guozhi scratched his head, "There are some local jade pickers with experience. They say that the whiter the Hetian jade, the more valuable it is. Seed jade is better than mountain material, and light is better than leather. Since you and Xia Stars are willing to exchange food for us, so we have to choose the best ones for you. In fact, there are some other jades, not so white, some are blue, some are sugar-colored, and there are jasper and black jade. Everyone decided to take it Jade is exchanged for food, and the bad ones are sold to the country for some money.”

Food is more expensive than money, everyone knows it!
Li Xingxing couldn't help but smile, "I'll give all the good ones to me. What if the National Jade Carving Factory doesn't receive the materials from you? But they are all processed and exported to earn foreign exchange."

Ding Guozhi said calmly: "Don't worry, the Yulong KS River is so long, it won't affect it."

The river beach they frequented was a very small part of the whole river.

Due to the vast land and sparse population, their station is very far away from other construction corps and garrisons. It takes a day and a night to find the nearest corps on horseback.

After all, the grain, oil and supplies that Xia Xingxing and Li Xingxing can obtain must be limited, not endless.

The price of white jade mountain materials is lower than that of first-grade Hetian jade seed materials, but not much lower, and mountain materials are easy to mine.

Ding Guozhi asked Li Xingxing again: "Tell me, do these count as sheep fat jade and first-grade Hetian jade? If so, we will collect them according to this standard in the future, and give them to you after weighing and registering."

Li Xingxing said bluntly: "Forget it! The jade picker you are looking for is very knowledgeable."

Ding Guozhi smiled, "That's not true, they are real jade pickers, and they often go to the bazaar to do jade trading. Later, the state has unified purchasing and marketing, so they can only do business with the state department."

Due to certain restrictions, many former jade pickers had jade in their hands, and only sold it when they were extremely poor.

This time it is a test, if it is suitable, they will definitely be tempted.

"Then let's weigh all of them. You keep accounts, and we also keep accounts." Li Xingxing said, "Brothers will settle the accounts, and we will directly pay the food, but you, how will you divide it at that time?"

Ding Guozhi took out a booklet from his satchel, opened it for Li Xingxing to read, "I wrote it all down, what kind of jade was handed in by someone, and several jade pickers jointly identified what grade it was, how many catties it weighed , remember everything clearly. It’s about rations, and everyone can’t allow the resident accountant to fool them.”

Li Xingxing laughed: "That's good, please go through the scale again in front of my father, and make sure it's accurate."

"No problem, it should be." Ding Guozhi took the scale in her hand, first weighed the mutton fat jade, and then weighed the other jades batch by batch, "There are seven pieces of suet fat jade seeds, weighing seven kilograms. , the total weight of the first-grade Hetian jade seed material is 71 kilograms, I remember that the book records 160 pieces of different sizes, of which 48 pieces are with skin."
