Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Dabao thought that Hotan County was full of jade vendors, but when he entered the county, he found that after walking for ten minutes, he was the only outsider leading a camel.

Selling jade? Stop the bullshit. Who would buy this piece of junk you could pick up anywhere? Only a fool would sell this on the street.

However, there are several shops selling handmade wool carpets. Dabao went in to take a look and found that this carpet is really good. If it were placed in the future, it would not be sold to you for less than 90 yuan for a piece of only 190xcm.

When I asked the price, I found out that the best one was only 2 yuan, and it was 4.5 meters x meters. When Dabao heard that, his mouth opened wide for a long time. He didn't hesitate and bought ten.

Although there is a language barrier here, the people are simple and honest, and everyone can communicate by using gestures.

After a round of shopping, we bought another 500 kilograms of yak jerky. Dabao chewed a piece of it. Although it was a little hard on the teeth, it tasted good. Thinking about Zuo Mingyue's two rows of small white teeth like small guillotines, she should like this snack.

Hotan County is very small, about the size of a town in later generations. Dabao walked from one end to the other in less than half an hour.

God will not let down those who work hard, he finally found a jade shop, the shopkeeper was a bearded uncle, as soon as he entered the shop, he saw jade everywhere,

Dabao is a master of carving and is certainly no novice in jade identification. He found at a glance that most of the jade here were actually the finest mutton-fat jade from Hetian, which is known as the treasure among jades.

People who know jade all know that the so-called jadeite is judged by its quality, and Hetian jade is selected for its smoothness. Hetian jade should be oily, delicate, and moist, as if it were condensed fat. This mutton-fat jade is just like this.

The remaining ones that are a little worse are Qiemo sugar, Yutian white, Ruoqiang yellow, black green, and Manas jade.

The bearded man came up to me with a smile, put his right hand on his chest and saluted: "Baron, do you want to buy some jade?"

This uncle actually spoke standard Chinese, which made Dabao overjoyed.

"Uncle, your jade is really nice."

The uncle was delighted when he heard this: "Baron, you have good taste. The jades I have here are all top-notch."

Dabao couldn't let go and touched this and that, listening to what the uncle said.

"Baron, if you like jade, you've come here. Originally, the jade here was sold to the Zhou family in Hong Kong. But in the past two years, the Zhou family couldn't enter the inland, so they turned to Myanmar to buy jade.

I have just accumulated so many good materials. If you like any of them, I will give them to you at a discount."

Dabao straightened up, looked back at the uncle, made a circle with his hands, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I want all of these. How much is it?"

The uncle was stunned. He looked at Dabao carefully, suspecting that Dabao was a member of a jade family in Hong Kong who had sneaked into the mainland to buy seed materials. He hesitated for a moment.

"Baron, can you transport so much jade?"

Dabao knew at once that the uncle had misunderstood. He did not explain, but came closer and said, "As long as you help me send them out of the county, the people I brought will transport them away."

His words further confirmed the uncle's guess. The uncle thought about it and took out an account book.

"Baron, I have here 328 pieces of mutton-fat jade of various sizes, 26 pieces of Qiemo sugar, 92 pieces of Yutian white jade, 7 pieces of Ruoqiang yellow jade, 100 pieces of black jade, and 36 pieces of Manas jasper.

I'll calculate these for you. If you want them all, give me 30,000 yuan."

Dabao was overjoyed when he heard this. Is it so cheap? At this price, you can't even buy a piece of seed material in the future. Of course, Dabao didn't care about the 30,000 yuan, but if you calculate it based on Shazhu's salary, he would have to earn 30,000 yuan for 90 years, and he would have to live to that age.

Dabao went out and pretended to take out a bag from under the camel's saddle. He came back into the store, opened the bag, took out thirty stacks of money from it, and handed them to the uncle.

This is not a small amount of money, put together a lot,

After the uncle counted them carefully, he took them to the back room and hid them. He called a young man and drove an ox cart. The two of them put the jade seeds on the cart.

There were too many stones, so Dabao helped. The three of them worked for two hours before loading all the stones onto the truck.

The young man drove the ox cart, Dabao led the camel, and they walked side by side with the uncle out of the county town.

Dabao learned from his uncle that most of these jade seeds were fished out from the Yulong Kashi River, which is more than 200 kilometers away from Hotan. The Yulong Kashi River is at the foot of the vast Kunlun Mountains and is more than 500 kilometers long.

Dabao was overjoyed when he heard this. It was a good opportunity for him to go hunting wild yaks in Kunlun Mountains and climb the glacier to pick snow lotus on the way. If he could get these two things, his trip to Xinjiang would be a complete success.

The uncle was a sensible man. He and the young man unloaded the jade on the roadside and went back without saying a word. In his line of work, one must keep one's mouth shut. If he leaked the buyer's information, who would dare to come to him with so much money to buy jade seed materials in the future?

Seeing that there was no one around, Dabao waved his hand and put all the jade stones into the space. He rode on his camel and headed straight for the Yulong Kashi River...

. . . . .

The Yulong Kashi River is just as its name suggests, a jade dragon spitting out pearls and treasures. However, this jade dragon is turbid because the ice and snow of Kunlun Mountain melted, and the snow water converges into a rolling torrent, washing the jade from the deep mountains and ridges into the river, so it is turbid. Only in autumn, after sedimentation, the river water will become clear and transparent.

Dabao arrived at the Yulong Kashi River after dark. From a distance, he saw several figures searching for something in the shallowest part of the river. They must be jade pickers, but judging by their shapes, they seemed to be women.

Now, after the introduction of the bearded uncle, Dabao is no longer a jade novice.

It is said that the ancients believed that beautiful jade was the crystallization of the essence of the sun and moon, the heaven and earth, and was formed from the earth. Its nature was yin, so they often picked jade on moonlit nights.

Wherever the moon shines, there must be beautiful jade. It is also said that women are more likely to find beautiful jade in the river than men...

The Yulong Kashi River had already reached its flood season, but this year was destined to be a severe drought, so the water in the riverbed was only knee-deep.

It was so late, Dabao didn't want to go out in the dark to look for jade, and there were people in the river, so it was not convenient. So he went into the space to rest.

When I woke up and looked at my watch, it was already half past six in the morning. Dabao put the little tiger in the arms of the little red horse under the bed. He moved the bed out of the courtyard because the static space was too evil. No one except Dabao could breathe and enter. As a result, Dabao could hear the roar of tigers and the neighing of horses as soon as he fell asleep. Dabao felt distressed and moved the bed out and placed it on the grass.

When Dabao saw the little fox with a kind face, coaxing the little white wolf, Dabao cursed her, "You vixen!" "How can a male fox like you pretend to be so radiant with maternal love?"

Dabao washed up and slipped out of the space. He saw that the riverbed was very wide and the water was flowing slowly. There were oval pebbles of various sizes on both sides of the riverbed. These were of no value.

Dabao came to the shore and looked into the distance. He could see the majestic peaks of Kunlun Mountain. He had read some information and knew that this should be the Karakax Peak he was going to. It was over 7 meters above sea level and was covered with snow all year round.

It is the end of May now, and the mountaintops are still covered with snow from afar.

Dabao holds a deep reverence for Mount Kunlun. Since ancient times, it has been revered as the "ancestor of all mountains" and a sacred mountain in ancient Chinese legend. Legend has it that the Queen Mother of the West resides in Kunlun, and that the Yellow Emperor built his capital on earth there.

Dabao didn’t believe in these things before, but since he is a reborn person and has such a magical space, what reason does he have not to believe in these myths and legends?

Dabao released the big red horse. The big red horse's injuries had long since healed and it was now in high spirits. As soon as it came out of the space, it roared and ran around Dabao several times.

Dabao put the saddle on it, jumped on it, and shook the reins. The big red horse rushed out like lightning. The speed really scared Dabao. Wow, it's faster than a jeep...
