Chapter 42 Jade Street
Licheng, Henan, is a city that is not big or small, and is also a very ordinary city.
There is an old residence located on the north side of the city. Now the city is developing vigorously, and Licheng is no exception. Unfortunately, like many cities, it focuses on developing new cities. Few people are concerned about the old city, especially the edge areas of the old city.
This old residence is on the edge of the old city. It is the family area of the textile factory that year. After the textile factory went bankrupt, it became even more dilapidated. The streets were disrepaired and passers-by could not walk when it rained.
Almost all old houses in the 1970s and 1980s. The houses of that era all had one common feature, that is, they were very small, with two bedrooms and one living room of fifty square meters, and even two bedrooms and one living room of about 40 square meters, with a row of single rooms and a public bathroom. As for large houses, there are very few.
Although the place is a little old, there are many people and there are all things that should be there.
In the Construction Bank next to the family compound, there was a thin couple standing. Both of them looked in their forties, but their faces were pale and haggard. You could tell at a glance that they were people in poor health.
The couple stood in front of the ATM, and the man put a bank card in and pressed the password.
Soon a four appeared in front of the bank card, and a long string of numbers were displayed behind it. This card contained more than 400,000 yuan in cash.
"It's true. Yi Yang really made money. This is the 400,000 he transferred!"
The woman excitedly pulled the man's arm, and used unnaturally to force the hand. The man who was caught frowned, but his arm did not move at all. He also stretched out his hand to hold the woman's pale hand.
The couple are Liu Yiyang's father Liu Gang and his mother He Aihua. It was afternoon when Liu Yiyang called yesterday. They did not go out. This morning, they went to the bank to check it out.
"Yes, 400,000, Yi Yang is amazing. Aihua, you have given birth to a good son!"
Liu Gang held his wife's hand and said with a smile, with a kind of comfort and satisfaction on his face. There is nothing that makes parents happier than the pride of children.
"That's your son too!" He Aihua smiled sweetly, and his face seemed to have a hint of rosy, not as pale as before.
"How do you plan to use this money?"
He Aihua suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Gang, who took down the bank card in the ATM and carefully put it on.
"The house prices are so high now. I want to buy a house as soon as possible. Yi Yang is already a sophomore this year and will graduate in two years. No matter where he stays, it is always good for his family to give him a house. In this way, even if he doesn't do well outside, he can come back and get married. If he really doesn't want to come back, he will sell the house and buy a house for him in a big city!"
Liu Gang held He Aihua's hand, smiled again, and said, "I have decided to buy a good two-bedroom and two living rooms with 300,000 yuan. Leave a hundred thousand yuan for you to go to Luoyang for medical treatment. Yi Yang has worked in the past two years to help his family supplement a lot of household expenses, and saved tens of thousands of yuan. The addition is just enough for your treatment expenses!"
As soon as Liu Gang finished speaking, He Aihua shook his head: "No, absolutely not. I agree to buy a house, but I have to treat you first. I can still hold on to arthritis. At worst, I can walk less, but your asthma coughs every day, which is so uncomfortable!"
The two of them said, leaving the bank, and they were constantly arguing on the way.
The key to the two of them was who to treat the disease first. Liu Yiyang never expected that the treatment cost he prepared for his parents was not thinking about using it at all. They were thinking about the other party and the child. If he knew, no matter how much he liked the Dragon Pearl of King Huai, he would probably sell it.
Compared to something you like, parents are the most important thing.
After packing up his things, Liu Yiyang stood up and stretched comfortably. His face was flushed with satisfaction.
There are many high-value things maintained today, several of which exceed 100,000 yuan, and one more than one million yuan, which allowed Liu Yiyang to absorb a burst of spiritual energy and felt that full of power on his body.
Looking at the time, today it was completed early, Liu Yiyang was thinking about whether to say something to Lin Feng, and increase his workload in the future and add some things to maintain every day.
His salary is calculated by time. Even if he hasn't done enough for two hours, he can leave after finishing his work, and his salary is still calculated by two hours. Of course, if he hasn't finished it within two hours, he will not have a salary unless it is something that the store urgently asks him to work overtime to maintain.
After Liu Yiyang came out, he told Lin Feng about this idea. Lin Feng just looked at him with a smile and asked him to leave first. Lin Feng will deal with this matter.
After saying it, Liu Yiyang didn't think much about it and left Xuan Yazhai.
As usual, after get off work on Tuesday, he did not return to school immediately, but started shopping in the antique city. Soon he went to the place where Ouyang Xuan set up a stall last week.
It was here that Liu Yiyang's life had a complete change. This change was caused by a playful girl coming out to tell fortunes. If Ouyang Xuan had not brought the Divine Jing here, she would not have met Liu Yiyang, so she would not have let the Divine Jing recognize Liu Yiyang as the main focus.
Standing in the open space where Ouyang Xuan set up a stall, Liu Yiyang smiled foolishly.
He was startled at the beginning, but the result is still good now. The Divine Mirror did not bring him any harm. On the contrary, it gave him a lot of benefits. The ability to obtain these wealth and treasures can also be said to be all due to the Divine Mirror.
Walking slowly, before you knew it, Liu Yiyang came to the northern district of the Antique City.
The northern area is the jade area, and there are many jade shops here, but most of these jade shops sell modern jade, and only two or three antique shops sell ancient jade.
The jadeware here is still mainly jadeite, while the jade in other places only accounts for a part of it.
Walking slowly on Jade Street, Liu Yiyang kept looking at the shops on both sides. If there were antique shops, he would go in and stand for a while to see the treasures inside.
Looking at the baby, one is that he can absorb a lot of spiritual energy, two is that he can learn more, and three is that he can see if he can pick up a hole again, killing multiple shots. Yu Huang's incident also made Liu Yiyang suddenly realize that the side effects of absorbing spiritual energy are his powerful tools for identifying the authenticity of antiques, which are definitely better than experts' eyesight. Experts sometimes even get eyeballs, but spiritual energy will definitely not.
If you pick up another vacancy, you can make some money and change your life at home again.
"Smack it!"
As he was walking, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded in front of him. Liu Yiyang looked at the thick smoke in front of him, and his feet accelerated unnaturally and walked towards the place where the firecrackers were set off.
Not only him, there were some people around him trotting towards the front, and some people also had a hint of envy on their faces.
Firecrackers are not a rare thing here, but they are definitely not something that happens frequently. Sometimes it takes several days, sometimes it doesn’t happen for half a month, mainly depending on the situation here.
Liu Yiyang knows a little about this. Liu Yiyang doesn’t have many friends, but one of them happens to work in a store in the previous store.
His friend is Li Zhiming, who is a jade carver on the "Wanyufang" on Jade Street. Wanyufang is also a relatively famous Jade Street and is considered the largest jade shop.
Speaking of Li Zhiming, it was a coincidence that the two met each other. It was a day three months ago, and it was also Tuesday. Liu Yiyang wandered here and happened to meet a thief who stole a woman's wallet and cell phone.
After the thief succeeded, the woman did not find it, but was seen by Liu Yiyang and another man at the same time.
The two shouted almost at the same time. Since they were in two directions, they saw them running towards the thief quickly, and they pressed the thief to the ground one after another.
Such a big disturbance naturally attracted a lot of people. The woman also discovered that her things had been stolen and hurried over.
The thief was not alone, and there was a companion who wanted to rescue him. As a result, another man saw his identity and directly pressed him to the ground. The thief had only one accomplice and was not tall, so he was caught by the man.
That man is Li Zhiming.
The two went to the confession recorded by the police station together, and then went back to the antique city together. Since then, they have met each other because of this incident, and occasionally sat together and chatted, and became good friends who can talk to them.
Liu Yiyang knew that Li Zhiming’s greatest wish was to become a jade carving master and then return to his hometown to glorify his ancestors.
Li Zhiming's hometown is Foshan, Guangdong, in the most famous Pingzhou Town, where a good jade carver has a very high status and his life will be much better. Li Zhiming used to be an apprentice there, but after he finished his studies, he was attracted by the boss who played jade house here and specially invited him. He planned to exercise here for a few years before going back to continue his studies.
Liu Yiyang also learned everything about Jade Street through this friend.
Most of the jade streets are modern jade, mainly jadeite. Hetian jade and other jadeites are second. Jade has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, its raw materials are very good at gambling, so jadeite raw stones are also called gambling stones.
Jade Street is called Jade Street, but it is better to say it is Gambling Stone Street. Every jade shop here now has gambling stone wool materials and its own calculator. Some large shops are like Playing Jade House and their own jade carvers.
The gambling of stones is very good. After untiing it, it is possible to make money or lose money. It is very exciting. This stimulation has also attracted many rich players. Jade Street is very lively every weekend. Although it is Tuesday, there are many people.
The gambling nature of gambling stones is its biggest feature. Every day, many people buy gambling stones here, and many of them are cut on the spot. Unfortunately, many of these cut gambling stones are not jadeite, or jadeite has no raw materials and is valuable.
There are also some who will not lose money and have a few gambling stone materials that make money.
If you understand that the value of jade is much higher than that of raw materials, then it means that the gambling has risen. As long as you make money, it can be said that it is a gambling has risen, but gambling has also been divided into big or small increases.
Those who only make a little money or have a big return on investment but not that big, will all rise slightly. Only those who can make a lot of money and earn several times higher than the raw materials will be called a big rise.
As long as there is a big surge, the store owner will set off a hang of firecrackers to celebrate, which is the source of the sound of firecrackers on Jade Street.
