Rebirth Picking Leaks Started in 1992

Chapter 202

A foreigner named Jiang Yuan took a piece of "bacon skin" material from Cunfu's shop and even got the best jadeite!

The news spread throughout the entire jade market in just half an hour.

Luck is of great importance in the stone gambling circle, and many people trying their luck have almost trampled the threshold of Cunfu Shop.

Before the morning was over, the room where Cunfu stored the raw jade stones was empty, with only the half-cut and window-opened materials remaining.

Because there are so many people, Cun Fu and his apprentice Jie Shi alone are already too busy.

And everyone discovered that they had never cut the best jadeite again.

But because these rough stones were carefully selected by Cunfu, 40% of them actually increased.

This probability is far higher than other shops in the antique market.

For a time, Cunfu Jade's reputation improved a lot.

At noon, Cunfu served as a host to Jiang Yuan and others.

After three drinks, Cun Fu raised his glass and said with a smile:

"Brother Jiang, I have to thank you this time. I made a lot of money today."

Jiang Yuan also raised his glass, "This has nothing to do with me. The main reason is that those rough stones were carefully selected and recovered by you, Boss Cun."

"I told you not to be polite," Liu Yidao picked up a peanut, threw it into his mouth, and said with a smile:

"We are off to a good start, which is a good sign. We should be able to bring a batch of good jade materials back this time."

Chen Qiping suddenly looked at Jiang Yuan and asked:

"Do you want to cut the remaining rough stones?"

After what happened in the morning, she also developed a very strong interest in stone gambling.

Although she had no intention of playing, she still wanted to see Jiang Yuan cut out good jade materials again.

Cun Fuye looked at Jiang Yuan with bright eyes, "Yes, Brother Jiang, you can just cut all the materials."

"Otherwise it will be troublesome for you to take it back."

Liu Yidao also nodded in agreement, "You have seen the craftsmanship of Cunfu Jieshi, why not just cut it all open."

Jiang Yuan slowly shook his head.

When you gamble on stones, you lose nine times out of ten.

If you choose a stone by yourself and find that one piece is the best jadeite, it is considered your luck.

Unlocking two pieces of top quality jade can be said to be a coincidence.

If all the three pieces I selected were cut into top quality jadeite, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain.

"I won't cut it for now."

Jiang Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "After all, the time for the public offering is coming soon. If the price goes up now, it's okay. If it goes down, wouldn't it affect the mentality?"

"So, let's wait until the public sale is over before we talk."

When Liu Yidao heard that it was true, he didn't say anything more.

Even he didn't think about other aspects. He never thought that all the stones Jiang Yuan selected could produce the best jadeite.

Only Ye Zhiqiu, who knew Jiang Yuan the best, vaguely guessed something.

Seeing her looking at him, Jiang Yuan blinked quietly, which confirmed her guess:

The other two rough stones selected by Jiang Yuan will definitely be worth a lot of money when they are mined.

.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but get excited.

With Jiang Yuan here, he can quickly gather the jade raw materials he needs.

What, you said it was driven by Jiang Yuan and not by Ye Zhiqiu himself?

Don’t forget, Jiang Yuan is a shareholder of Ye’s Jewelry!

After lunch, Jiang Yuan took Ye Zhiqiu and Chen Qiping to leave first, planning to walk around.

Mr. Liu and Cun Fu returned to the shop. They were old acquaintances and had something to talk about. Moreover, Mr. Liu had old arms and legs and was unwilling to move around much.

···

As a senior antique collector, wherever I go, I naturally have to visit the local antique market.

Jiang Yuan has memories of his previous life and knows some things about Tengchong’s antique world.

It seems that during the Tengchong jade public sale in 1992, a big boss in the jade business in Myanmar came to Tengchong and brought a large number of jadeite rough stones.

The boss was also a good businessman. In order to prove the quality of the batch of rough stones he brought, he randomly opened a stone on the spot at the beginning of the public sale, and a piece of violet (a type of top-quality jadeite) was found.

Then it was bought by a young man.

This is not a strange thing. What is strange is that the young man himself is engaged in collecting antiques.

But the young man was not interested in antiques, but had a special liking for jade.

He quietly sold several things at home, and then he had the money to buy the violet.

Among the things he sold, there was a string of agarwood bracelets that interested Jiang Yuan.

In fact, Jiang Yuan in his previous life never came to Tengchong in 1992.

But at an auction, I heard a collector from Yunnan Province talk about this matter.

And that collector is the one who bought the bracelet.

The collector was chasing the bracelet and showing off the big bag he had picked up.

Since Jiang Yuan came to Tengchong this time, he had to get the bracelet first.

···

There are several antique markets in Tengchong.

The market that Jiang Yuanlai came to is about ten kilometers away from the jade trading market where Cunfu Jade Store is located.

Because Tengchong is the first jade city, there are many jades in the antique market here, but there is also no shortage of other types of antiques.

Jiang Yuan remembered that the collector said that he bought it from a young man named Bai.

Jiang Yuan walked to a street stall, took out fifty yuan and handed it to the stall owner.

The stall owner looked happy and said, "Oh, what does this gentleman like about me?"

"I didn't fancy anything."

The stall owner looked at the banknotes in his hand and asked, "What about this money?"

"Just asking, is there any antique shop owner surnamed Bai around here? Or is there a collector surnamed Bai around here?"

"A person named Bai?" The stall owner thought for a while, "There is a person named Bai, but I don't know if he is the person you are looking for. His antique shop is over there."

The stall owner pointed in the direction, "Follow that road to the end, and when you smell the aroma of agarwood, you'll find Bai's art store."

Jiang Yuan nodded and walked over there with Ye Zhiqiu and Chen Qiping.

Ten minutes later.

The scent of agarwood poured into his nose. Jiang Yuan stopped and scanned the shops on both sides of the street. His eyes finally stopped at a shop ten meters away on the left.

"Xunfangzhai," Chen Qiping read out the name of this shop, then sniffed the fragrance inside, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"The smell of agarwood."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Let's go in and take a look before talking."

When you walk into the shop, you can see several groups of antique racks.

Displayed on the shelves are some incense burners, incense balls, incense buckets, incense clips, incense spoons, incense chopsticks and other incense utensils.

On the other side of the ancient shelf, there are many spices.

Sandalwood, ambergris, agarwood and agarwood are the most common.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "This smell is really refreshing."

Chen Qiping pointed to a hollow rectangular blue-green porcelain object with a curious face:

"I know a lot about antiques, but what is this thing used for?"

"This?" Jiang Yuan smiled, "This is what wealthy families used to incense in the past."

"Insert the incense through the round holes on the side, and the fragrance will come out from these hollow holes."

"Ordinary people can't afford this thing. Hollow porcelain is easy to deform when fired, and the price is not cheap."

Ye Zhiqiu also pointed to a small lump of yellow-brown stuff next to him, "Then what is this?"

"This is agarwood."

Jiang Yuan pointed to a wooden stake next to him and said with a smile:

“After agarwood is damaged, it will secrete agarwood, and after it solidifies and precipitates, it becomes agarwood.”

"Agarwood has a strong fragrance and is useful for making bracelets and playing with strings. It refreshes the mind and cultivates the body."

While he was talking, a young man came out of the room inside.

The young man was holding an jade handle in his hand, whistling, and swaying as he walked.

"Hey, we have a guest," Bai Jiaxun walked over unsteadily, "Just take a look."

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, "Let's take a look at the contents of your safe."

"Oh, that's not a bad tone," Bai Jiaxun raised his eyebrows, "Are you rich?"

"I know everyone in Tengchong Xiangquan, why haven't I seen you?"

Jiang Yuan looked calm and said, "A foreigner."

"Oh," Bai Jiaxun glanced at Ye Zhiqiu and Chen Qiping, "For the sake of these two beauties, let me open your eyes."

"Come in with me."

After saying that, he took Jiang Yuan into the inner room.

There is a set of furniture inside, and the table is full of tools for playing with bracelets.

Bai Jiaxun turned around, opened the password box, and walked over with a round box that was silver-gray and slightly rusty.

Seeing this box, Jiang Yuan knew that the things inside were not simple.

After the box was opened, there was a string of agarwood and eighteen seeds inside. There was another small round box in the middle of the bracelet, which contained a sticky yellow substance.
