After getting rid of Lao Zhao who was entangled with him buying a house, Li Liang asked the two employees what they wanted to eat, then took out his cell phone, ordered three takeouts on Feipeng Takeout.

Even at noon, the number of passengers on Jade Street is still very large. As a traditional gem in China, Jade used to be difficult to control the market because its origin was not in China.

Nowadays, there are large jadeite mines in China, so a strict system must be established so that the market can develop healthily.

The Mining Alliance has established a jewelry appraisal association, with its headquarters in Batang County. All jade products here need to be certified by the jewelry appraisal association to obtain the qualification for official marketing.

I just ordered takeaway and three tourists came into the store together. In addition to the semi-betting raw stones, Li Liang's store also has some semi-finished bracelets, brands, beads, Buddha statue cards and bracelet cores.

"Boss, how much is this concubine?" the young girl asked, pointing to a raw lilac Laurel concubine bracelet.

Li Liang took out a cloth mat, then took out the raw materials of the imperial concubine bracelet from the glass counter and placed it on the cloth mat: "The beautiful girl has a good vision, there are six of this material."

The girl seemed young, but she looked like you thought I was a water fish. She took out a flashlight, picked up the bracelet and took a photo, and shook her head: "It's too thick, less than six."

"Beautiful girl, this is not thick anymore. There are not many stores in Batang. There are jade raw materials of this level."

The girl sneered and said, "All of them are insiders, why bother to deceive laymen? My family runs a jewelry store. I will give you a real price and I will charge you if it is right."

"That's Xiaoliu!"

"120,000, if you can, seal it up." The girl directly bargained.

Li Liang did not expect to meet a real expert and replied with a smile: "120,000 is too little, 180,000."

"Brother, if the bracelet is not as slight crack, I would be willing to collect the 300,000 yuan, but this crack will have too much impact." The girl said with a flashlight and pointed to a slight crack on the bracelet.

Li Liang, who was exposed, also knew that the girl had not noticed the impact of this crack. He wanted to get away with it, but now he could only nod helplessly: "Okay! 120,000."

The girl pulled out a business card and placed it on the counter.

Li Liang took out the sealed bag, put the bracelet material in, then wrote the price and the other party's name, and then sealed it with tape.

"Beautiful girl, if no one else bids more than 120,000 the day after tomorrow, then we will make a deal."

Chu Xinyue nodded, then called two friends to leave Li Liang's shop together. This time she came to Batang. On the one hand, she was looking for some raw materials for her jewelry store at home, and on the other hand, she also came to see the jade market in Batang.

After walking around Jade Street, she and her two friends only took a fancy to more than a dozen semi-finished materials. After sealing the last piece of imperial concubine bracelet material in Li Liang's shop, the three of them started to roar.

"Eat, Xiaolan, Ali, what do you want to eat?"

Moran, wearing a baseball cap, thought for a while and said, "How about eating mutton noodles?"

"I have no objection." The short-haired girl Yin Jingli shrugged.

"Then let's have lamb powder."

The three of them came to the middle of Jade Street and walked into an alleyway. There was a public escalator inside. They took the escalator to another street, which was the food street in Batang.

When they walked to a store called "Chang'an Noodle Restaurant", the three of them walked in.

Chu Xinyue and the other two ordered mutton noodles, grilled lamb kebabs, grilled green peppers, and a grilled bun, plus three bottles of Bingfeng soda.

Taking a sip of the cold soda, Moran said nostalgically: "It's still the smell of my hometown."

"Don't you plan to go back during the Chinese New Year?" Chu Xinyue asked lowered her soda bottle.

Moran quickly shook his head: "As soon as I went back, my family urged to get married again, and then my aunts and aunts were chewing on each other, and finally I went on various blind dates. It was too difficult for me!"

Yin Jingli turned her head and asked, "By the way, Xinyue, what are you planning to do during the New Year?"

"I plan to go to the mining area in Hongshawadi. The jadeite production in Batang is too small and the store is not enough." Chu Xinyue was a little helpless.

"Hongshawadi? Because of the incident a few months ago, it seems to be under martial law now, right?" Moran reminded worriedly.

Chu Xinyue was not too worried about this: "Don't worry, I hold a domestic passport, unless the other party doesn't want to get involved, let alone the mining area is a key protected area."

Yin Jingli whispered: "I heard from an old classmate over there that it seems that someone is supporting him behind the beautiful woman."

"Normal, but this person has the means. He actually has the courage to cut down the vassal states and destroy several great countries in one breath." After Moran said that, the waiter brought three bowls of mutton noodles. She picked up the oil splashed beside her and put three large spoons.

Chu Xinyue, who couldn't eat spicy food, made her scalp numb.

After a while, the lamb skewers, green pepper skewers and grilled buns they ordered were all served.

Moran picked up a skewer of very large portions of mutton. The lamb was sprinkled with cumin noodles, and the large chunks of mutton were grilled golden.

"You guys eat it soon, it won't be delicious when it's cold." Moran said, biting a piece of mutton: "This mutton is well-grilled and the price is quite cheap."

"It's such a big bunch in Yangcheng, starting at 15 yuan, but it's only 5 yuan here, which is really cheap." Chu Xinyue picked up a bunch of mutton skewers and ate it.

In fact, it is not that the prices in big cities are too high. At present, the prices of meat in various parts of China are not much different.

The high price of cooked food in restaurants in big cities is because of the high store rent and labor costs. Small cities like Batang have advantages in store rent and labor costs.

Since the beginning of this year, the production of mutton in Meng District and Mobei has increased a lot. The wholesale price of mutton is only about 17 yuan per kilogram, and the beef is slightly higher, about 24 yuan per kilogram.

As for the pork and chicken, the largest domestic production, the price has also dropped a lot, with pork about 11 yuan per kilogram and chicken about 8 yuan per kilogram.

These are wholesale prices, and the retail prices are usually raised by about 3 to 5 yuan.

Restaurants all go through wholesale, and the cost is even lower. In this restaurant that Chu Xinyue and others eat, one kilogram of lamb makes 20 skewers of lamb, and the cost of lamb skewers is 0.85 yuan. With other seasonings, gas and labor, you can make half of it.

As meat prices fall, domestic people's consumption of meat has increased to about 97 kilograms per person per year.

The consumption of other vegetables, fruits and non-staple foods is also rising steadily, but the consumption of staple food has dropped a lot.

This is a normal phenomenon. The higher the living standards, the consumption of eggs, milk, meat, vegetables, fruits and non-staple foods will increase, while the consumption of carbohydrate and staple foods will decrease.

For those who say that Chinese people cannot eat meat, the Food Alliance directly slapped them in the face with facts.

We not only need to eat, but also eat well and eat full. We don’t need to worry that the Amazon rainforest will catch fire, and sea levels will not rise because of this, let alone a global disaster.

Because a large number of seawater desalination plants are constantly extracting seawater every year. In China alone, more than 350 billion cubic meters of fresh water are extracted from the ocean every year. This number will become increasingly large in the future.

The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does not need to be too worried. A large number of solar power plants, wind farms, and tidal energy power plants need to extract carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to create energy storage carbon powder.

With the greening of the desert Gobi Desert and the future controlled nuclear fusion power generation technology, the country can fully meet the population of billions and live a prosperous life.
