Chapter 274 Buying Jade

Xiaocao was not as worldly-wise as Yujieer, and was obviously a little nervous. Fortunately, Yujieer was very outgoing and took Xiaocao's hand, "Xiaocao sister, let's go inside to play. My father just bought me a nine-linked ring. Let's go play with it."

The two little girls held hands and went into the house. Master Zhou came out and said to Gu Fei, "I was just looking for you. Aren't you going to buy jade? Old Zheng is back and has just brought back a batch of goods. I'll take you to see it."

Sister Dan hurriedly said, "Xiaofei, just go. I'll leave Xiaocao here to play. I'll send it to you after dinner."

She was not at ease when Master Zhou went out with anyone, but she was at ease when he went out with Gu Fei.

As long as he didn't want to die, he wouldn't dare to make plans with Xiaofei.

Of course, Xiaofei didn't like her guy.

"Okay, then I'll go with Brother Zhou."

The two went out and walked along Furong Street without taking a car.

After turning a corner and reaching another street, Master Zhou took Gu Fei into an alley and knocked on a black door, calling out, "Old Zheng, it's me, Zhou Kun."

After a while, an old man came over and opened the door, "The master is inside, please come in."

Gu Fei and Master Zhou went in. The yard was very large. As they were watching, a middle-aged man came out of a room, "Is this girl going to buy jade?"

Master Zhou nodded, "Old Zheng, this is my sister, you should bring something real, and the price should be more reasonable."

Old Zheng smiled, "Okay, girl, follow me."

The group walked to the backyard, and Old Zheng opened the door of a room, only to see that it was full of jade materials.

Old Zheng pointed at the pile of jade and said, "This is what I brought back from the Western Regions this time. I almost died on the road for this little thing."

"There is a severe drought in several counties in the northwest. There are starving people everywhere and refugees everywhere. Fortunately, this is not for food, otherwise it would have been snatched away long ago."

Gu Fei looked at the jades, which were green and white. They were just peeled off the stone skin. The jade was not polished and looked not shiny.

Gu Fei sold it to feed the space, so he didn't care about the luster. He said, "I don't know how to choose. How about this? I have three thousand taels of silver here. I don't want too good. You can give me according to this money."

This is the first time that Old Zheng has seen people buy jade in this way. They don't want good ones, and they don't choose color and water head. This means that they are calculated by the pile.

He was in a dilemma. Yesterday, Mr. Zhou came and whispered to him that this girl was protected by the prince.

It would be unreasonable to give a bad jade. If it is good, three thousand taels of silver can't buy much.

Old Zheng thought about it, selected a few pieces of medium-quality Hetian white jade, and a few pieces of Hetian green jade. He estimated that if this thing was put on the market, it would be worth at least 4,000 taels.

Especially now that the northwest is suffering from a severe drought, and it is unknown how long the drought will last, it is not as convenient to trade there as before, and the cost has also increased. The price of jade will definitely rise in the next one or two years.

Of course, he only bought these for more than 2,000 taels of silver, and it is not a loss to sell them to Gu Fei, but it is not really a big profit, mainly because the cost of hiring escorts along the way is not small.

Old Zheng said: "I can sell these for at least 4,000 taels of silver, but since you are Mr. Zhou's sister, I will give you 3,000 taels, just as a friend."

Gu Fei didn't say anything, "Okay, then thank you Uncle Zheng, then I will give you the silver."
