Chapter 44 Patterned Jade
Shi Wan'er sat next to Cai Hongming, watching him counting jade, and suddenly saw a piece of mutton fat jade seed material that seemed a bit strange, so she picked it up.
This piece of mutton fat jade seed material is milky white all over, as smooth as mutton fat, and exudes an intoxicating luster under the light, but the only disadvantage is that there is a yellow soil stain on one side.
In a certain environment, jade will be eroded by long-term contact with water, soil and other substances, causing the color of the jade part or the whole to change. This is the color of the jade.
The common color of unearthed jade is generally white mist-shaped water, yellow soil, black mercury, green copper, and black purple corpse. This is because there are countless micropores in the jade. If it is buried underground or in old tombs all year round, it will produce color. Especially the jade pieces carried on the corpse are soaked by corpse liquid during the decay process and dark purple spots appear. This is the so-called "corpse stain". If there is red corpse on the jade, it means that most of the dead are bound alive and killed with the weapon. The blood flowing out is soaked into the jade, and it becomes the real "blood stain".
Shi Wan'er looked at the color of the mutton fat jade seed material in her hand and felt like something, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
Suddenly, she remembered that the yellow soil stain on the surface was not like a dancing Tajik girl? After a closer look, it was a bit like herself?
She pushed Hongming and handed over the mutton fat and jade seed material on her hand, "Does the pattern look like me?" As she said that, she put her hands on her chin and turned her head left and right.
When Cai Hongming saw it, he saw it. It really looks like it.
Pan Haimin next to him was sorting out the jade material he picked up in front of him. When he heard Shi Wan'er's words, he glanced at it and looked very similar. He turned his head and suddenly found that a piece of mutton fat jade seed material in front of him seemed to have patterns on it, so he picked it up and looked. After a closer look, he felt very much like the Tajik boy dancing in Shi Wan'er's grandfather's vineyard a while ago. He immediately said to Cai Hongming disdainfully: "What's so strange? I have one here too. Do you think it looks like the guy who beats the drums in the vineyard last time?"
When Cai Hongming saw it, he felt it was really similar. He took it over and placed two pieces of mutton fat jade together.
The two pieces of jade are about the same size. Put together, the pattern on it looks like a Tajik boy pounding a hand drum chasing a Tajik girl in dress and dancing. He also found that the two patterns were like him and Shi Wan'er.
As soon as he thought of this, he brought Pan Haimin's jade down. Pan Haimin didn't care. Anyway, he still had a lot of jade.
Cai Hongming held two pieces of jade and presented treasure in front of Shi Wan'er, saying, "Look, does the pattern on it look like us?"
Shi Wan'er looked at it and suddenly remembered the grand event in the vineyard that day: she wore Tajik clothes and danced in the venue. Finally, Hongming also took a hand drum, chasing her like a peacock in heat. Isn't it like the pattern on the mutton fat jade?
“It’s really like.”
"When you go back, let your second uncle drill a hole in it. You are wearing this jade that beats the drum, and I am wearing this jade that is dancing. How about it?"
"Not very good. You can't drill holes, put them away and be a treasure of our family."
As Shi Wan'er said, she took away the two pieces of jade and put them into the small bag she carried with her.
They mainly came to find Yu when they went out, but everyone had a good harvest along the way. So, Cai Hongming asked Ji Dong and others whether they wanted to continue searching. Ji Dong and others had never thought of finding Yu, but they were just here to play. Unexpectedly, they were already satisfied with finding so many and did not want to continue searching. After all, they did not rely on this to make a living.
Since no one wanted to find him any more, there was no need to stay there at night, so they cleaned up and contacted Akibig to send a car to pick up people and livestock, and rode out on the yaks.
When they walked to the provincial road, it was dark, and they hurriedly drove the livestock into the containers that were loaded with livestock and returned to Hotan.
Life in the wild is boring and unable to take a bath. I haven't taken a shower for a few days, and as soon as I got here, the group suddenly felt itchy all over and hurried to take a bath.
After taking a shower and having dinner, they gathered together. Akibig was also there. Cai Hongming showed Akibig the jade material he picked. Akibig stared at him, but he didn't expect that he could pick up so much jade material. But after Pan Haimin and others took out the jade he picked out, he was no longer staring at him, but was stunned. He thought to himself when the jade dragon on the Kashgar River had become so much jade? Did they find the fish nest like fishing? Oh, no, it was a jade nest. It's really unimaginable!
He also had a lot of jade materials in hand, so he was surprised and returned to normal. He began to help Cai Hongming and others identify the jade they found.
Finally, he found that the jade material Cai Hongming picked up was of the best quality, while Ji Dong and others were relatively poor.
Cai Hongming had said earlier that he wanted to make Shi Wan'er a set of mutton fat jade jewelry, so he handed over the jade he and Shi Wan'er picked up to Ajibig, asking him to help him use these jade to make a set of jewellery for Shi Wan'er, and carve some jade jewelry for his family, and sell the rest to Ajibig. Unexpectedly, he earned more than one million in the end, which made him laugh so hard that he couldn't stop.
Like him, the others sold everything to Akibig except for leaving a few pieces of jade to play with or making jewelry.
Everyone earned more or less, with the least amount of money, and the most was Chen Dashan, who accidentally cut out a huge piece of jade. The jade alone sold for seven million yuan, and the ones he picked up, sold for more than seven million yuan in total. When he got the money, his mouth had never been closed and his smile was almost broken.
After resting in Hotan for one day, Cai Hongming and others chartered a flight to leave the next day.
When leaving, Cai Hongming asked Akibig to help find a piece of land at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and planned to come here to grow roses and make rose wine next year.
The rose dew he drank the day before yesterday was so delicious, and it was unforgettable after drinking it once. So he wanted to buy a piece of land to grow wild roses here to make wine. He felt that this wine had great development prospects.
The land in Xijiang is very cheap. As long as you have money to open up land, go to the Land Bureau to apply for a case, and the Land Bureau will define a regional land reclamation for you. In the early stage of land reclamation, there will be a three-year water and electricity bill, and the water and electricity bills and the fees stipulated by the state and the autonomous region will be paid in three years. If you grow wheat and other grain crops, the state will also provide subsidies. The policy is pretty good. Moreover, the land in Xijiang is not as good as the desert in Gulang, and it is not good to have no water or electricity. The land here is quite good. If you dig a little deeper, you will have water. It is also at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, which is very suitable for growing wild roses.
However, the lands that are open are all raw land, so you don’t have to think about harvest in the first few years.
If you want to have a harvest, you must invest a lot of manpower and material resources. Cai Hongming doesn't like this, so he asked Akibig to help find a piece of mature land. He wanted to try to see how the rose wine you planted and brewed will be effective. Then talk about other things.
