Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 68 Crossing the Sea

The Nankun Flea Market is a place she often visits. After looking at every shop, she found a jade shop that was selling raw stones.

Yunnan and Yunnan are connected to the Kingdom of Kapok, and jadeite from the Kingdom of Kapok often flows into Nankun, so there are many people in Yunnan and Yunnan doing jadeite business.

There are also several jade shops in the flea market, but she already has a lot of jade raw stones in her space, so she is not very interested. Now that there are people selling raw stones, and she has nothing else to do, why not go and see if she can find a bargain?

There were quite a few people in the shop. Wen Qing asked about the prices. The medium-sized raw stones placed on the east side of the room were 1000 yuan each, and the raw stones placed on the west side of the room were larger, 500 yuan per kilogram. Wen Qing took a look and found that the smallest stones weighed twenty or thirty kilograms. There was also a small pile of stones at the door of the room, which seemed to be gravel, with a label on it: 200 yuan each.

Wen Qing first looked at the raw stones placed on the east side of the room. There were already four people squatting there looking at the stones. She squeezed in, picked up the stone and weighed it. The shop assistant saw that she didn't bring a flashlight or a magnifying glass and thought she was an amateur, so he didn't pay much attention to her.

Wen Qing slowly touched all the dozens of stones over there and picked out two that felt warm and cool. When passing by the door, she casually picked up two more stones and went to the counter to pay the bill. The total was 2 yuan.

Wen Qing asked about the place where the stone was cut, went over and saw people queuing, so she just waited.

An hour later, the two people in the queue in front finished cutting the stones. One of them cut three stones and took out an icy green jadeite the size of a man's fist. He looked happy.

The other one also unraveled three pieces, but only got one piece of oily green jadeite, which was the size of a palm, which was also quite good.

Both of them found jadeite, which means that this batch of goods is good.

Wen Qing handed over the raw stone that she wanted to cut. It was a 7 or 8 kilogram piece of raw stone. The stone cutter slowly cut along the line drawn by Wen Qing. The broken stone flew everywhere and the jade flesh inside was revealed.

The stone cutter changed direction and cut off the rest of the stone skin, revealing a piece of colorless and transparent jade. He wiped it clean with a wet rag, handed it to Wen Qing, and said, "Not bad."

Green is the best color for jadeite. This colorless jadeite is not popular at all. Although it is a glass type, the jewelry made from it looks like crystal and is not very valuable.

Wen Qing took out another small piece of raw stone, weighing about 2 kilograms, with no skin on it. It was probably a piece of gravel.

The stone-cutting master first cut off 2 centimeters from the side that seemed to have been cut. As the knife went down, Wen Qing, with her sharp eyes, saw a flash of green inside. The stone-cutting master wiped off the stone powder with a wet rag, and sure enough, a hint of blue-green was revealed. It was a piece of blue water jadeite.

He took down the raw stone, examined it carefully, changed the stone polishing machine, and started polishing the stone from the other side. The polishing speed was relatively slow, and it took him more than twenty minutes to grind off all the stone skin. This was a piece of high ice-type blue water floating flowers, only the size of a comic book, but fortunately it was relatively thick and could be made into two bracelets, several jade pendants and beads.

Wen Qing took it and put both pieces of jade into her bag. The other two stones had already been put into the space, and she didn't plan to solve them again.

He handed ten yuan to the stone cutter, said "thank you", and walked out of the shop.

According to her feeling, the other two raw stones were likely to contain jadeite. She didn't want to be too conspicuous, so she planned to open them later when she entered the space.

She went to the first restaurant selling alcohol at the train station to have dinner, and when she looked at the time, it was already past three in the afternoon.

I bought some food for the journey and then went into the station to wait for the bus.

There were a lot of people in the waiting room of the train station. The seats were full of people and the floor was filled with luggage. Many people who didn't have seats sat on their luggage.

The waiting room was filled with people, talking and children crying, it was very noisy. Wen Qing found a corner and waited quietly.

Finally it was time to enter the station. The ticket inspector at the train station stood at the entrance with a ticket clipper in hand and shouted, "Line up, one by one."

The crowd was very well-behaved, although it was a bit crowded. Everyone lined up to check their tickets to enter the station. When it was her turn, Wen Qing handed her ticket to the ticket inspector. The ticket inspector looked at the train number and used a ticket scissors to make a notch on the hard ticket.

Wen Qing found her own carriage, which had hard seats. She had already put the jade and raw stones into the space. There were only some food, clothes and bedding in her luggage. She put her luggage away and sat down.

The food was taken out and placed on the small table, and the backpack was placed on the luggage rack.

More and more people got on the bus. Next to her was a couple. Wen Qing nodded as a greeting and picked up the enamel cup to drink a sip of water.

The train quickly drove out of Nankun City and headed eastward, passing through plateaus and mountains and passing through many tunnels. Every time it passed through a tunnel, Wen Qing felt discomfort in his ears.

The hard seats meant one could only take naps while sitting at night, not to mention that the air in the carriage was not circulating and the smell was indescribable. Wen Qing woke up from time to time and did not sleep well all night.

But overall, the trip was smooth. The express train stopped at few stations and not many people got on. She and the couple sat together to the end of the trip.

After leaving the station, I found that Dongyue was indeed different from Pingjing. The temperature at night in December was over ten degrees, warmer than Nankun.

There are many people doing business near the station, and many middle-aged men and women are trying to attract people to stay in their shops at the exit.

Wen Qing ignored the voices soliciting customers and walked along the street in front of the station. There were many snack shops along the street. Wen Qing took out a backpack full of eggs and carried it on her back. While it was not too late, she started selling eggs along the street. By the time she reached the outskirts of the city, she had sold more than 2 eggs along the way and earned more than 1000 yuan.

When they arrived in the suburbs, there were fewer people, fewer street lights, and the road was very dark. Wen Qing took out his motorcycle and drove towards Abyss City.

After walking for two hours, when they passed a forest, Wen Qing put away the motorcycle and used her mental power to check the surrounding situation. There was no village near this forest, nor was it on the main road. She entered the space and lived in a small bamboo house.

Wen Qing took the two raw stones sold in Nankun to the stone-cutting machine. After half an hour of "zilala", two pieces of jade became available. One was a light green glutinous ice jade, weighing only a little over 1 jin, and the other was an icy sunny green jade, weighing 6 or 7 jin. Wen Qing put the four pieces of jade on the shelf. Now she has a total of seven small and medium-sized jades and two large jades.

Wen Qing went to the warehouse again and took out three larger pieces of raw stones. She put one of them on the stone-cutting machine. It was a black-skinned raw stone. It took Wen Qing more than an hour to cut it. It was a piece of red jadeite, ranging in color from light red to ruby ​​red, weighing about twenty kilograms.

She didn't want to cut the stone anymore, and she didn't pack up her tools and the other two rough stones. She would cut them when she had time.

In the morning, she continued riding southeast, had lunch in a town, and bought some bananas and mangoes to take away.

At night, it suddenly started to rain. Wen Qing put away his motorcycle, walked over a mountain and reached the beach.

The beach was dark and the sea water hit the rocks, making a splashing sound. This area was a rocky beach with rough rocks that could easily cut your feet if you were not careful.

Wen Qing used her inner strength, crouched low, and ran towards the sea. She swam in the water for more than four hours. She saw twinkling lights on the shore in the distance. She continued to swim in the darkness, stepped onto the shore, and heard a whistle in the distance. Unexpectedly, there was someone to pick her up at this time. She smiled, disappeared into space, took out her clothes, changed them, and re-applied her makeup.

She had no money here, so she had no way to stay in a hotel or take a bus, so she took out her motorcycle and headed along the main road towards Jiuying Street.

In the morning, the sun was shining brightly and she rushed to Jiuying Street.

She had no ID card and no money, so Wen Qing decided to get one first.

She decided to go to the currency exchange to get some money, took out a yellow fish, and asked, "What is the price of gold today?"

Although her Vietnamese is not very good, she can still communicate with others.

The woman at the currency exchange said a number, and Wen Qing frowned, "I want to exchange a larger amount, please ask the boss to come out and talk."

The woman was displeased to see a foreigner holding his temper, but seeing Wen Qing's face gloomy, she dared not say more and shouted inside.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a flowered shirt came out. Wen Qing took out two gold ingots and whispered, "I wonder if the boss can help me get an ID card?"
