Chapter 400 Buying Jade
Zhou Yu smiled and pointed at his nose, saying, "Just me? I still have a romantic encounter?"
Tang Ning swept his thumb down on the tip of his nose, looked swaying, glanced at Zhou Yu with his eyes slanted, and said, "I don't believe it, right? Then let's take a look. Don't forget. My buddy's nickname is Xiao Shenxian."
"I think you are a nerve. Get out of here and go to the front and fool your Feifei."
......
Wangfujing is one of the most prosperous and lively commercial streets in the capital. In the Qing Dynasty, it was once a place where many royal nobles often gathered. The difference between it and the other two prosperous areas, Xidan Shopping Plaza and Dashilan is that Xidan is a representative of fashion trends. Dashilan is both a century-old brand with a long history. Here, it mainly sells bracelets, decorations, ornaments such as jade, jade, agate, crystal, ornaments with gold-plated glazed enamel. A few yuan cheaper, a few thousand or hundreds of thousands of yuan expensive. How to choose depends on how much the customer's pocket is.
Because Wangfujing is not far from Tiananmen Square, you can get there by walking straight along Chang'an Street. So every summer, almost the entire street is crowded. There are domestic tour groups and many blonde and blue-eyed foreign tourists. The bustling and prosperous life can last from morning to night.
Another thing that must be mentioned is the famous Wangfujing snack street. It can also be regarded as a food stall with unique characteristics of the capital.
When night falls, after a day of shopping, tired and hungry tourists can listen to operas and eat the famous hot belly, which has a very Beijing flavor. The only bad thing is that although it can satisfy the appetite here, the food is too expensive. It can be tasted occasionally, but ordinary people cannot bear it if they consume it for a long time.
It was the first time Tang Ning came to Wangfujing when he was here in Beijing. I just heard of it before, but I never had the chance to come here and I was busy all day long.
"Everyone, stop for a while and listen to me. Let's separate here and go for each other. At five o'clock in the afternoon, we will come back here to gather. Do you understand?"
At the entrance of the street, Tang Ning greeted everyone together and made a little arrangement. The guys were grouped freely and dispersed.
Jiang Tao is responsible for accompanying the girls. Although this is one of the most lively and prosperous areas in the capital, there are many plainclothes or dressed patrols on the streets and secrets. However, sudden crimes often occur. A boy follows him, it’s safer. Everyone can rest assured. Moreover, Tao Qianqian has long locked up the boy Jiang with her big eyes.
Of course, Xu Mengfei also hoped that Tang Ning could accompany her. She was envious of Tao Qianqian. However, when Tang Ning gave her an apologetic look, she understood that Tang Ning must have something to do, and it was not convenient to be with everyone. Although she felt a little disappointed and uncomfortable, she did not force her. She just turned her face away in anger and left Tang Ning smiling bitterly there.
The three of Dazhuang Monkey Stone and the others joined together and rushed out early. The monkey suggested buying some gifts for their family members.
Although I decided to have fun in the second half of the semester, I had to go back to my hometown to arrange a lot of things. Now I buy good things and I can take them back when I go back in a few days. Moreover, the jade pendants here are the most complete and best in Beijing. They don’t have the ability to buy them because they are too expensive. But they look good and it’s very intimidating. People believe it to be worth hundreds of dollars. His proposal was approved by Dazhuang and Shi Tou. The three of them smiled terrified.
Like Tang Ning, Zhou Yu was just playing alone.
More than ten minutes later, in a larger jade shop, Tang Ning slowly walked in front of the jade counter full of various colors and shapes. He wanted to see if there were any jades with better quality and suitable for making magic tools. He should have thought of it long ago, but before that, he did not take it seriously. Until this Xu Mengfei incident, he woke him up. Everything was in a matter of possibility. There was no danger this time, but what about next time? If there were any vicious consequences, wouldn’t it be too late to regret it?
Unless he leaves Xu Mengfei, the two break up. But is it possible? It is impossible. Whether it is selfish or irresponsible, he just can't bear to let it go. Especially after this incident, Xu Mengfei's weight in his heart became heavier.
He also put the magic weapon production on the agenda because of his concerns about the future and the future. This is why he immediately agreed when he mentioned that he was coming to Wangfujing. Otherwise, he would hate shopping the most. He believed that people's energy should never be spent on such boring things.
"Hello, can you take out that piece of jade Guanyin for me?" In front of a counter, Tang Ning pointed to a thumb-sized green ornament inside the glass counter and said to the salesperson.
"Yes, which one? Is this?" The saleswoman with a handsome face and a smile on his face, took out the small brocade box containing the green jade Guanyin that Tang Ning pointed to and handed it to him.
"Oh, thank you." Tang Ning took it, took out the Qingyu Guanyin, and put it in his palm and felt it silently.
Tangning is not an expert in the identification and appreciation of jade, but he is definitely not a newbie who knows nothing. Thrones, especially Chinese thunderbolts, have to deal with various metal ores and jade jade throughout their lives. If you miss this aspect, it is definitely a big joke. So, when you were very young, my aunt taught him how to distinguish jade.
Blue jade is rare because most of the jade is white, milky white, or light green or light blue. There are either very few other colors of jade or artificially synthesized fake jade. As soon as Tang Ning bought the green jade Guanyin, he knew that it was the real thing and the quality was not low. The color was well-proportioned, slightly cold, without any flaws, and it felt very moist and smooth.
I looked at the price and the price was 2,800 yuan.
"Miss, let me ask. Can you discount the things you have here?"
"Of course, it's the peak tourist season now, and our store is also holding discount promotions. All products on the shelves are all 20% off. Why, little brother, do you like this Jade Guanyin?"
"Yes. I like it, but it's a little expensive."
"Good jade is a good way to prevent disasters. Most Chinese people buy jade to be lucky and ward off evil spirits. So it is worth spending some money to buy a good jade." The salesperson seemed very talkative and very good at speaking. The key is that her smile is very friendly.
"Haha, that's the case. Then please pack it for me." Tang Ning said with a smile. He took out his wallet and found that there was not enough cash in it. "Sorry, there is not enough money. Can you swipe your card?"
"Can."
The salesperson took the card handed over by Tang Ning, and while operating, he said, "Did you buy it for your girlfriend? It's more than 2,000 yuan, you really want to spend it."
"How do you know I didn't take it myself? Besides, isn't it that a man brings Guanyin and a woman brings Buddha?"
"That's a fool. Those who really understand these things know that girls are not suitable for carrying Buddha statues, but Guanyin. My sister will fall in love with this jade Guanyin at first sight, and guessed that you must have bought it for your girlfriend. Of course, the elderly can do it, but the color of yours is not suitable for them. Old ladies who are older should wear white jade or a slightly pink warm jade. If you wear it for a long time, warm your energy and nourish your spirits, which is very effective."
The salesperson handed over the wrapped Qingyu Guanyin and the bank card to Tang Ning. At this time, the two of them noticed that there were two foreigners standing in front of the counter, and two foreign girls wearing parasols and sunglasses. They were very Western-style, with white skin, big breasts, tall figure, and the shorter one was almost as tall as Tang Ning.
Moreover, the two foreign girls obviously fell in love with a pair inside the counter. They were two jade bracelets that were as bright red as blood and crystal-colored as crystal. They took off their sunglasses and lay on the counter to look at them. Their eyes were hot.
If you look at it casually, you still have to buy it sincerely. Most salesmen can tell at a glance. The two foreign girls looked like the pair of jade bracelets worth 3,000 yuan. The salesmen's face suddenly became very anxious. Because her hometown is in a small mountain village in Guizhou, she went out to work before she graduated from junior high school and could not speak foreign languages at all. She was originally in the raw material procurement department and only had a few days to be transferred here to stand at the counter. It was not her turn to participate in the company's internal foreign language training. Moreover, during the peak tourist season, foreigners' money is the best to make. If she loses this business, it means she will lose a lot of commissions.
A commission of 5% of 3,000 yuan is 150 yuan. The city people don’t think it’s anything, but for those working girls who have been working outside for many years, every amount of money is very hard to make. 150 yuan can be used to support their two younger brothers until they graduate from elementary school.
She was sweating on her forehead, and she was so anxious that she almost cried. At this time, she was afraid that the sisters who knew foreign languages would come and rush to receive the reception. In that case, once the transaction was completed, it would not be her turn to receive the commission, but to the sister who was responsible for receiving it.
In a hurry, I suddenly thought of Tang Ning because his age looked like a student in high school. Since high school students, of course, they know foreign languages, at least they can conduct simple oral communication. And it is very simple, as long as they can bargain, they can bargain.
"Little brother, little brother, sister, please let me know something."
"Be your translator?" Seeing the salesperson anxious, Tang Ning knew what was going on. He had a good impression of this person, so he decided to help her.
"Forget those two brushes. Let me do it." Tang Ning was about to speak when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him. It was Zhou Yu. When did this kid come here?
