The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 923 Big Seller

"What good stuff is there this time? You actually come here to find me? Is it mutton-fat jade again?"

Sadiq always said that good goods are hard to come by, and she only sees them in the market a few times a year. She just got a piece of suet-fat white jade last time, and yet another good one arrived so quickly.

"Of course I will leave you with good things. This time is a big sale in the jade market. There are not only raw stones, but also a lot of finished jade, many of which are old goods. Go and have a look. There is a big seller this time. Team over here."

Sadiq took Bai Meixi to the jade market, but he hasn't been there for more than ten days. The stalls and layout here are different from before. The stalls selling fruits and vegetables have been cleared out, leaving only jade-related stalls. .

Businessmen like Sadiq who sold rough stones were pushed aside and became supporting actors in the entire jade market.

In the middle of the market, there were some merchants from other places. They spoke a language that Bai Meixi couldn't understand. There were many translators standing around, and they looked impressive.

But the jade they brought was indeed good stuff. Every piece of jade was beautifully carved, mainly bracelets, pendants and small ornaments. They were not too big and could be held in the palm of one hand.

There are also some stalls selling uncarved jade. These jade stones are also only the size of a palm, with a ruddy and transparent color and a shimmer on them.

"These seem to be red jade, and these don't look like jade produced locally." Bai Meixi walked around and understood that this kind of red jade is not produced in this area at all, only Yunnan and Myanmar. have.

Those slightly green jadeite are more like imperial green, but the water head is not good enough and pure enough, so they are not considered top grade.

"Sister Bai, you have such a good eye. This is the red jade that came from over there. You also know that places like the border are full of continuous mountains. There are always loopholes that can be used to communicate with each other. That's how these jadeite came from. The price is also [-]% lower than the jade we have here, and some of them are of really good quality and are worth collecting."

Sadiq praised that Bai Meixi was indeed an expert. The reason why these red emeralds were shipped to this place was because they were too ostentatious in the local area and could not be sold at a good price. Although it took a long way to get them here, they were not sold all over the country. Many merchants gather here, and if you are lucky, the price can double.

These businessmen who sell rough stones are also waiting for such an opportunity. Anyone with spare money wants to get a batch of good goods in their hands.

"This is too ostentatious. This jade market is known to the whole city. Isn't there anyone here to check it out?"

When Bai Meixi saw so many goods piled on the stall, she felt that these people were too blatant. If someone came to check, these people would not be able to clearly explain the source of the goods.

"It is the rule of this industry not to ask about the source. Once the jade is transported here, no one will come to check it. But if you are unlucky, you will be caught on the road. I'm afraid the crime will be quite serious."

Sadiq said that jade is the same as the antique business in the past. No one asks where it comes from, and there is no distinction between authenticity and authenticity. Everything depends on one's own eyesight. This matter has been around since ancient times and has become a common rule.

There were many people looking around in the market, some were bargaining fiercely, and some were commenting on the jade stones.

Bai Meixi picked up one of the jadeite and looked at it. This jadeite was a drop-shaped pendant. The color on it was like blood, extremely mellow, and it felt extremely cold in her hand. It was a rare good thing.

"Help me ask how much this jadeite costs?" Bai Meixi liked the pendant very much. She motioned to Sadiq to ask for the price. The stall owner found an interpreter, muttered for a while and then gave the price. "This sister-in-law really knows the goods. This high-grade piece of jade costs 100 yuan." The translator smiled with wrinkles on his face. The 100 yuan is naturally moist, and there is enough room for Bai Meixi to bargain.

"The price seems a bit high. There are a lot of good things here. Compared with your red emeralds, they are of higher quality and cheaper."

Bai Meixi felt that the money was too much. The price of red jade was not as valuable as the fine Hetian jade, especially since most of these red jade were jade from Myanmar, so the price should be lower.

Now it is actually at such a price, which is not at all like what Sadiq said, which is [-]% lower than the normal selling price.

"The quality of local jade varies greatly. Unlike ours, which are all carefully selected before being shipped here, it's okay to exchange them for other items."

The translator proposed another purchase condition. In addition to money, medicine, cotton, and other daily necessities can be used for exchange. Those things are even more popular than money.

"Daily necessities are also okay?" Bai Meixi felt incredible after hearing this. Jade trading for daily necessities would definitely be a joke in modern society.

"Sister Xiaobai, this kind of jade can also be bartered. After all, the food, clothing and housing there are too poor and there are not many things. The people over there like our cotton clothes very much."

Sadiq said that what people there need most is cloth, which is easy to transport and not easy to be detected on the road. The second most important thing is food, but if you want to transport food from here, you will need a wagon, and the procedures are very complicated.

But some people have resources in their hands, and there are also caravans that can transport them there.

"It's true that cloth is not easy to buy. If it's food, I have a way. When they want to transport it out, they can just replace it with cloth."

Bai Meixi knows that the supply of cloth in this era is limited, and it is extremely difficult to buy a few pieces of good cloth without cloth tickets. Going to the black market to exchange for it is tantamount to increasing the cost for Bai Meixi, and is not cost-effective. On the contrary, food is easier and is available in space. These people can have several kilograms of it without any problem.

"You mean you can get thousands of kilograms of grain. Is this true?" Bai Meixi said unintentionally, but the people next to her pricked up their ears and wanted to grab her arm and ask.

"There is indeed food, but there is only rice, and the rest are vegetables that are not easy to store." Bai Meixi felt that the man's eyes were too eager, and even revealed a greedy green light.

But he still chose to tell the truth without hiding his strength.

"Just ask for rice. We will take care of the rest ourselves. You can come and pick whatever you want. Our jade is the best."

The man was very happy. He took Bai Meixi to his stall and talked a lot to the companions around him, with very excited eyes.

Bai Meixi looked at his stall and found that the quality of the jade here was pretty good, but it was still a little worse than the pigeon blood one just now. If she wanted to change, she wanted to switch to another one.
