The Beauty of the Seventies

Chapter 14

The moment they stepped through the small door, it was as if they had entered another world.

The room was brightly lit, and there were all kinds of items placed everywhere.

However, the most eye-catching item was still the food. Bags of food were piled up in every corner of the room. Those who did not know better would have thought that they had entered a food processing center.

In the room, there was a man who looked to be in his sixties. He was bending over and carefully inspecting a cigarette holder.

Beside him was a young man who looked very similar to him. The young man was carefully checking the odds and ends around him and jotting something down in a notebook from time to time.

When they heard the door open, they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the three people who had just entered.

"Xiao Song, you're here. It's been a long time since you've been here," the older man said after recognizing Qin Zhao.

"Something happened at home. I've just finished my work.

Elder Sha, I've brought you a friend of mine. I'm here to accompany her, "Qin Zhao introduced the man to Qin Jiao, who was standing beside him." This is Elder Sha, the owner of this place. "

Qin Jiao immediately knew that Qin Zhao had deliberately concealed his identity. It was obvious that he was not a trustworthy person.

Apart from that, Qin Jiao had thought that there would be a lot of people in this' black market '. He did not expect that it would be an independent courtyard with only two or three people.

Qin Jiao had a lot of questions to ask Qin Zhao at this moment. However, when he thought of the situation, he could only suppress his curiosity.

Thinking of Qin Zhao's actions, Qin Jiao only greeted the man indifferently, "Hello."

He did not introduce himself.

Qin Zhao seemed to have tacitly agreed with Qin Jiao's actions and did not say anything.

Sha Pingliang was a shrewd old man. He could tell from the two's attitude that they did not intend to deepen their relationship.

Therefore, he did not continue to ask.

Instead, he asked Qin Zhao, "What kind of 'goods' is your friend looking for?"

"Jade products." Qin Zhao thought for a moment and added, "You don't seem to care."

"You should know that since ancient times, people who know the trade know that 'gold has a price, but jade has no price'. It has always been a rare commodity, not to mention that this thing is now under tight surveillance, the amount of jade that flows out is even less." Sha Pingliang did not expect that they actually wanted jade.

"It's because he knows it's rare that he doesn't care about it.

Moreover, if someone else says that they don't have it, I might consider whether it's true or not, but if you say that you don't have it, I don't believe it at all. "

"Kid, you're really weird. Alright, I won't fool you. I do have a few of these things in my hands.

What's more coincidental is that two days ago, someone came to me and said that there was an emergency at home, so he had no choice but to take the risk and make this trip. From what I see, that water head can be called 'good goods'. "Sha Pingliang did not hide it from the two of them.

However, what he did not say was that he also had his eyes on the jade pendant. He originally wanted to keep it for himself and pass it down as a family heirloom in the future. However, his family was in a business that could cause trouble at any time. Anyone who knew the trade could tell that it was not simple at a glance.

Now that the world was so chaotic, if he kept that thing, if something happened, he would lose his life. It was not as easy to explain as having money.

Although he was a businessman, he was also a person who loved jade. Naturally, he was reluctant to casually give this jade tablet to someone else. He had been in contact with this' Little Song 'for two to three years. Although they did not have a deep relationship, he knew that although this person was young, he was not the kind of person who only cared about profit. More importantly, this child's identity should not be simple. Giving it to him should not cause him any trouble.

He originally intended to leave it for him, but he did not expect that if he wanted it, it would be for his friend.

But it was not that far off.

"Then you can take out all the jade pendants you have in your hands for my friend to see."

"Then you wait here." After saying that, Sha Pingliang walked out of the door.

After a while, Qin Jiao saw him walk in with a wooden box in his arms.

He gently placed the box on the high table in the corner of the room and beckoned the two people over.

Sha Pingliang unlocked the box. Qin Jiao saw three things on the white cloth at the bottom of the box.

A small jade Buddha pendant.

A jade hairpin.

A jade pendant.

Qin Jiao guessed that the jade pendant was probably the one that Sha Pingliang mentioned earlier.

Sure enough, Qin Zhao had the same idea as her.

"Is this the jade pendant you mentioned earlier?" Qin Zhao asked.

"Yes, this is it."

After hearing his confirmation, Qin Jiao reached out and took the jade pendant out of the box. He lowered his head and looked at it carefully.

Just as Sha Pingliang said, the jade was of good quality.

It was carved from a piece of warm white jade. There was a flower carved on it. Qin Jiao had never seen it before, but the carving was very delicate.

It felt very warm when he held it in his hand.

Although it was not a top-grade jade, it was not bad either.

He nodded at Qin Zhao who was standing beside him.

Qin Jiao gently put down the jade pendant in his hand and took out the other two items from the box.

Compared to the jade pendant just now, these two items were much inferior.

These two items were made of ordinary green jade. Whether it was the type of jade or the carving, they were not of the same grade as the jade pendant just now.

But compared to the jade flower in Qin Jiao's hand, they were naturally much better.

But what puzzled Qin Jiao the most was that these three items did not have any spiritual energy.

But no matter what, he had to take them back and study them carefully.

"What price are you looking for?" Qin Jiao asked directly.

"Which one do you like?

Of course, these three items have different prices. "

Sha Pingliang looked at Qin Zhao for a long time, but could not tell which item he liked from his friend's eyes. So he could only ask directly.

"Three items."

"Three items?

Are you sure?

This is not a small amount. "Sha Pingliang said in surprise.

"Yes, please give me a price."

"I don't want to lie. The jade hairpin and bracelet are 70 yuan each. This jade pendant … is at least 500 yuan."

In fact, Sha Pingliang did not ask for much. When he took it from that person, he only gave him 480 yuan.

In fact, he was worried that Qin Jiao would not be able to afford it. After all, he was too young.

"Then I'll take them all." Qin Zhao decided.

"It's just that we don't have so much money on us right now. How about this? I'll give you 300 yuan first. I won't take anything. Three days later, at the same time, I'll give you the rest of the money. Then you can give me the goods."

In fact, Qin Zhao did not have so much money on him. After all, the largest denomination of money he had now was 10 yuan.

"No need. We've been in contact for a long time. You can take the goods with you today. The rest of the money is not urgent." Sha Pingliang said directly.

Qin Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you the rest of the money in three days." Then he took out the money and handed it to him.

"Please count it."

Sha Pingliang handed the money to his grandson.

Sha Qi quickly counted the money and nodded to his grandfather.

Then, Sha Pingliang carefully put the jade pendant away and handed the box together with it to Qin Zhao.

"Then we'll go first. Old Sha, please continue with your work." Qin Zhao handed the box to Qin Jiao and said.

"Xiao Qi, send Xiao Song out." Sha Pingliang ordered his grandson.

"Then I'll see you three days later at night." After saying that, Qin Zhao and Qin Jiao followed Sha Qi and walked out.

As soon as Qin Zhao and Sha Pingliang left, Sha Pingliang impatiently asked his father, "Father, why did you let him take it away? Didn't he say that he would take it after the money was given? What if he …" "Idiot, they're obviously not ordinary people. They don't care about money. When will you be enlightened?" Sha Pingliang quickly interrupted him.

Sha Liang did not know that Sha Pingliang believed that Qin Zhao and Sha Pingliang had an extraordinary background and was trying to curry favor with them.

Of course, at this time, who could casually take out 700 yuan to buy jade? Even if the price might appreciate in the future, who knew when that day would come?

Moreover, in the past two or three years, that child had taken more than this amount from him.

How could he care about the rest of the money?
