   After enjoying all the stones and playing with them, I was reluctant to put all the stones back in their original boxes. Although the brass lock has been scrapped, Yang Yong used his own special lock to lock these small wooden boxes.

Then Yang Yong took Smith to the restaurant of the hotel for a big meal. The next morning, Yang Yong got up early, opened all the wooden boxes, and took out a representative stone from each wooden box. , and then took a taxi to Chinatown in downtown Philadelphia with Smith after breakfast.

There are tens of thousands of Chinese living in Philadelphia's Chinatown, which is the fourth largest gathering place for Chinese in the United States. There are as many as hundreds of Chinese-operated stores with Chinese characteristics. As long as they are here, you can buy any kind of Chinese goods. Popular with the people of Philadelphia.

   Chinatowns where there are Chinese inhabitants have Chinese-style gold shops, gem shops, jewelry shops, antique shops, these shops with Chinese blood.

  Yang Yong's purpose here is to find a gem appraisal expert, who is also a master in the collection world, to help him identify whether these most precious Laokeng jadeites and bloodstones are treasures, and what are the prices of these stones.

  Although Yang Yong doesn't plan to sell them, he can't just put these precious stones in the underground vault to eat ashes! Therefore, Yang Yong wanted to find out the value of these stones and deal with them properly, so Yang Yong asked some experts who knew the goods to identify the value of this stone.

At about 10:00 in the morning, Yang Yong and Smith appeared at the entrance of China Town in the center of Philadelphia. The entrance was a magnificent China Gate Street. Most of the pedestrians walking on the street were Yang Yong's most familiar faces. Chinese American living in Philadelphia.

   Although Yang Yong is a native Chinese American, he is also exposed to American culture, and he also learned American English since childhood, but Yang Yong’s parents are authentic first-generation immigrants. Yang Yong's mother is a college student, so when he was very young, his mother taught Zhang Yong to learn Chinese characters and speak Chinese. Yang Yong's current Chinese level is relatively easy to understand the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

  I also understand part of China's history and culture, so it is more reliable to find a new shop that makes jade in Chinatown, Chinatown. At least it can be contacted without the help of a tour guide.

   Most of the shops in Chinatown are built along the street, so Yang Yong took Smith with a trolley case and walked around the streets of Chinatown to look at the plaques on the storefronts to find his goal.

   Not to mention, after turning two streets, you will see a street with a relatively old decoration. The shops next to it are all retro-styled. Although you can’t say pavilions and pavilions, there are still single-cornered eaves.

All the storefronts are decorated with antiques, and the plaques of the shops are also made of solid wood. Although the fonts on the plaques are all stylus, Yang Yong looks a bit laborious. If you look carefully, you can still tell what this store is for. of.

  This retro commercial street is all about antique business, and there are jade business and jewelry stores, which is exactly what Yang Yong is looking for. Although today is not a day off on Wednesday, the crowd on the street is still very lively, and the business of each store is relatively hot. Yang Yong chose a large jewelry store called Zhenbaozhai.

This large-scale jewelry store in Zhenbaozhai has a business area of ​​two floors. There are also many tourists in the five or six hundred square meters. There are more than a dozen staff in uniform. When Yang Yong walked into Zhenbaozhai, he was not in a hurry. Looking for an appraisal expert, but carefully observed the store's qualifications along the business hall of Zhenbaozhai.

  Zhenbaozhai does have Chinese characteristics. It sells some silver jewelry and gold jewelry. On the other side, all the exhibits on the booth are all kinds of jade jewelry and jade jewelry with Chinese characteristics.

  Yang Yong did a careful investigation on the counter and carefully observed the various jewelry with Chinese characteristics in the window. These jade and jadeite looked dazzling and oily in color.

   However, it is incomparable with the top-quality Hetian seed jade material and those old pit jadeite in his own hands. The difference is not a matter of grades, but the difference between the two.

It can be said that if Yang Yong takes out a fist-sized Hetian seed jade, he can sweep the entire jade display stand of Zhenbaozhai. Seeing this, Yang Yong feels rather disappointed. It is risky that Zhenbaozhai will use these defective products to fool tourists. People are dishonest in doing business, and it is not worth taking out these treasures for them to identify.

So Yang Yong shook his head and looked at the tourists like weaving, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. These elated tourists walked into Zhenbaozhai to buy more expensive jade jewelry, but who would think of Zhenbaozhai to get those defective products to fool them Woolen cloth.

   Although he looked at these tourists with pity, he did not stop them. Yang Yong's idea was very simple. After going to the stall twice, these tourists will naturally become smarter.

  It is whimsical for me to stop them now. If I don't have a good heart, I will be scolded by these tourists for being nosy. Yang Yong has no habit of being scolded by others, so it is better to leave here quickly.

Then walk forward more than 40 meters and there is a jade shop named Gufangzhai. Different from the lively scene of Zhenbaozhai just now, this Gufangzhai jade shop faces a much smaller street and is specially decorated. It's so old that few tourists will notice this little shop.

The staff inside is only a 20-year-old Chinese beauty sorting things in the back of the kitchen. Although this Gufangzhai is not very popular, in Yang Yong's opinion, the various products in it are genuine jewelry made of top-quality jade. .

And each piece is expensive, but it seems to be worth the money. The owner of this Gufangzhai is a conscientious businessman. Although the jewelry sold is expensive, each piece can be called a boutique, and the goods are genuine. .

  Yang Yong is looking for such an honest person to help him identify the market value of the things in his hands, and what level are these things at? Whether they are the best jade as judged by themselves.

Seeing the scene of this jade shop named Gu Fangzhai, Yang Yong smiled brightly and walked into Gufangzhai with a blank face. The little beauty who was cleaning inside saw that there was business coming. He walked out of the counter enthusiastically and came to Yang Yong, smiled and bowed, and said sweetly.

   "Welcome to Gufangzhai Jadeware Store, sir, can I help you with anything."

   Seeing how well-mannered and polite the other party is, Yang Yong became more interested in the boss of Gu Fangzhai, and after hearing the question from the little beauty, Yang Yong looked around and said with a smile.

   "Beauty, Gu Fangzhai's business is very cold! Is it true that all the fake goods you sell are reported by others, so it's so sluggish."

  What Yang Yong said is really hateful. This is a word for beating. Does it have its own purpose? Test the other party's honesty and reliability, whether they can control their own mouths, and don't talk nonsense.

   Although Yang Yong is not afraid of trouble, he doesn't want to cause trouble either. He has a lot of treasures in his hands. Yang Yong doesn't want others to regard him as a target. He also wants to test whether Gu Fangzhai's people are worthy of his trust.
