Chapter 182 Jewelry

Han Mingxiu just turned into the alley, and a young man of medium size also turned in.

Han Mingxiu stood there quietly, looking at him coldly, "If I read it right, you are following me!" She used not questions, but a tone of affirmation.

The young man smiled and said embarrassedly, "Lesbian, don't get me wrong. I'm not a bad person. I just want to ask you, will your watermelon be sold?"

"What does it matter if my watermelons are sold or not?" Han Mingxiu replied very unfriendly.

The young man had a very good attitude. He was not angry when he was criticized by Han Mingxiu. He continued to smile and said, "I want to buy your watermelon. Since you haven't negotiated the price at the acquisition station, why don't we talk?"

"Are you speculating?" Han Mingxiu asked.

The young man sucked his teeth and said, "Lesbians, don't say it so badly. It's not easy for everyone. I just make a living."

Han Mingxiu said righteously, "Do you know that you are making a mistake? I don't want to be with you." After saying that, bypassing him and preparing to leave.

It’s not that she is so noble, but that she doesn’t think she can take such a big risk to earn such a small amount of money!

When the young man saw that she was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Hey, don't leave, you can discuss something if you have something to do!"

Han Mingxiu said bluntly, "I have nothing to discuss with you. Stay away from me and be careful that I will report you."

When the young man heard Han Mingxiu saying he wanted to report him, he was stunned at first, and then laughed, "You can't scare me. Tell you honestly, since I dare to do this business, I will have a relationship with you, otherwise I would have been caught eating peanuts long ago. Can you still talk to the girl here? Even if you report me, people will at most call me in and criticize me, and then release it, and do whatever you want after it comes out!"

Han Mingxiu gave a pause, is this OK?

She thought that people in this era had strict styles, and once such speculation and counterfeiting were caught, they would have to be sentenced to ten or eight years. Unexpectedly, they had already become a family member of the government, and those policies and principles were just used to scare them, such ordinary people...

A thousand alpacas ran by in their hearts...

When the young man saw Han Mingxiu stopping again, he felt that there was a way, so he came over and said, "I won't cheat you. It's true. Don't worry about doing business with me. There will be no trouble. Moreover, if I do business with me, I will never cause you to suffer any losses."

Han Mingxiu silently and said, "Then how much do you plan to give me a pound?"

Zhang Qiangzi said, "The acquisition station gives you five cents per pound, and the watermelon is only six cents per pound at one time. How about I give you eight cents per pound?"

One pound is eight cents, ten pounds are eight cents, one hundred pounds are eight cents, and one thousand pounds is eighty cents.

Han Mingxiu thought about the difficulty of transporting a thousand pounds of watermelon, and then thought about the mere 80 yuan, and immediately gave up the idea that he had just started, "Don't sell it!"

"Hey, eight cents are already a sky-high price. If you ask around Nong'an County, you can't find a higher price than this." Zhang Qiangzi was a little anxious when he heard Han Mingxiu say he would not sell it.

"Girl, it's not that I'm talking about you. Your watermelon is a seasonal thing. It's not delicious after these days. At that time, you can't sell it for five cents."

Han Mingxiu snorted, "If you can't sell it, don't sell it. What's the big deal?"

"Oh, if you can't sell it, you'll throw it away. It's in vain. Could it be that you're willing to throw away such a good big watermelon?"

"If you throw it away, what does it have to do with you?" Han Mingxiu didn't want to bother with him anymore, so she left.

Zhang Qiangzi didn't want to miss the business, and followed her and muttered, "Girl, why not, if you think you have little money, you can change things. I have everything from rice, flour, oil, meat, eggs and fish. You can change those things with me with watermelon. Ensure the price is fair and I will never fool you."

Han Mingxiu has no shortage of rice, flour, oil, meat, eggs and fish, and she is too lazy to waste her saliva with this speculative bad guy. She said coldly, "I want to exchange antiques for gold, do you have it? If so, I will exchange it with you."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiangzi said 'hey' and said excitedly, "How do you know I have these things? Who told you?"

Han Mingxiu was stunned, "Do you really have these things?"

She originally wanted to use this excuse to make it difficult for him to go back, but she didn't expect that this guy really had these things, which surprised Han Mingxiu!

At the same time, I was also very excited!

It is said that antiques in troubled times are not in troubled times. Although people can fill their stomachs just now, antiques in this era are not valuable. Compared to the one thing that can be used for tens of millions a few decades later, at this time, you can buy something that is very valuable for only 180 yuan. If you really have the opportunity to change a few antiques, it will be worth it even if you take some risks!

Seeing Han Mingxiu lowering her head and saying nothing, Zhang Qiangzi seemed to hesitate, and then said, "I have the things you said, but the prices are not cheap. Girl, how many watermelons do you have? I can't get it if you want to exchange watermelons for those things for a hundred or eighty kilograms."

Han Mingxiu said, "I'm going to tell you that as much watermelon as I want, it depends on whether you can eat it."

"I can't, I can eat as much as you have." Zhang Qiangzi slapped his chest with a 'bang'.

He has been in the black market for many years and has a wide range of connections. He not only works hard in Nong'an County, but also has interactions with the black market dealers in the city. If he can receive a large number of watermelons and cannot be sold in Nong'an market, he can be sold in the city.

I wonder how many watermelons can a little girl have? At most, it’s only 10,000 kilograms. If you take the goods to the market for a few days, you can make a lot of money.

Han Mingxiu pursed her lips and said, "Then show me your stuff first. If I am satisfied, let's talk about the transaction. If I am not satisfied with it, it would be too early to say anything now."

"Sure, then come with me." Zhang Qiangzi saw that there was a business, but if he couldn't do it well, he would still be a big business. He immediately felt like he was injected with chicken blood, and his whole body showed an excited state.

Han Mingxiu followed him.

The two walked out of the alley, heading westward, towards the train station.

After passing through the railway station, I walked another two or three miles, and came to Xiwulijietun, west of the railway station, and walked all the way to a house with a high courtyard wall at the west end of the village.

Zhang Qiangzi knocked on the door and said, "Girl, this is my family. My wife is at home, you don't have to be afraid."

Maybe he was afraid that Han Mingxiu would have a grudge against him, a man, so he explained it specifically.

Han Ming was not afraid. The more closed the space she had, the more courage she was. Not to mention that the other party was a shrewd businessman, she was not afraid even if she had a pervert with a look of vulgarity. If anyone really dared to have any bad intentions towards her, she would have to close the door and let the tiger go...

Zhang Qiangzi's wife opened the door, glanced at Han Mingxiu, and sat back on a small stool in the yard and continued to do her work. There was a short shelf in front of her, covered with a piece of gauze, which was covered with various dried vegetables, dried cucumbers, dried eggplant, dried radish, horned melon strips, etc.

At first glance, she is a good woman who lives at home.

After Han Mingxiu entered the yard, Zhang Qiangzi entered the gate and said to his wife, "I'm here to see the goods."

His wife nodded, lowered her head and continued to cut her carrot, as if she had become accustomed to such things.

"Come on, go to the house, girl." Zhang Qiangzi opened the door and let Han Mingxiu in.

His house has four houses, two from east to west, and a narrow corridor in the middle, which looks quite spacious and grand. In this era, such a house would be considered a "luxury mansion".

Zhang Qiangzi led Han Mingxiu to the eastmost room. The room was similar to that of ordinary people's houses. It was surrounded by a large kang, which occupied half of the area of ​​the house. On the ground, there were cabinets, boxes, high and low cabinets and other furniture on the base of the wall against the north wall. There were also some snow cream bottles, head oil bottles, flashlights and other things on the cabinet. There was no antique or valuable thing.

"Where is your stuff?" Han Mingxiu glanced in the room and asked.

Zhang Qiangzi smiled and said, "What's the hurry? What can I put on such a thing? Wait for a moment."

He took out a bunch of keys from his waist, opened the door of a cabinet, and took out a small wooden box with red gold-patterned flowers from it.

There was also a lock on the small wooden box. Zhang Qiangzi used another key to open the lock on the small box, lifting the lid to reveal the things inside.

Tsk, it's really a baby!

Han Mingxiu looked at the things in the box and her eyes suddenly lit up!

In this small box, there are more than a dozen pieces of jewelry, including jade, jade, pearls, corals and agate...

Han Mingxiu looked carefully and found that there were a few good things, including a high-quality jade bracelet carved from Hotan white jade. It was fairer than snow, soft and delicate. You could tell it was an excellent item at a glance.

I remember that decades later, the white jade of Hetian was fryed. The white jade that was once sold for hundreds of yuan was priced at more than 100,000 or even millions. If such jade bracelets were sold for later generations, they could be sold for at least 10 million yuan.

However, in this era, these jades, gems, and other things are not worth much, and everyone is still in the stage of food and clothing. Who has the intention to buy these things? Even if you buy them, you don’t have the chance to wear them. People in this era pay attention to hardship and simplicity. If anyone dares to bring a jade bracelet or other jewelry out, it will be a big deal!

Therefore, the prices of jade and gems from this era are extremely cheap.

"How much does this cost?" Han Mingxiu suppressed the excitement in her heart and picked up the Hotan white jade bracelet.

"Hi, girl, you really have a vision. This bracelet flowed out of the Manchukuo Palace and was something used by the royal family." Zhang Qiangzi continued to introduce.

After hearing this, Han Mingxiu held up the bracelet and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he found the marks engraved on the Office of the Interior in the bracelet. Looking at the workmanship and jade texture of the bracelet, it should be undoubtedly flowing out of the palace.

"How much does it cost? You said that." Han Mingxiu asked.

Zhang Qiangzi rubbed his short hair and said, "I sold this thing for others. I have agreed to me that it will be at least 300 yuan, and it will not be sold for a penny if it is less than 300 yuan."
