Not long after entering the miscellaneous goods stall, Zhou Yan discovered the "big deal", a large pile of unpolished amber.
In China, amber can be regarded as a mid-to-high-end organic gemstone; but in the north, amber is widely available, and it used to be used to build walls.
Make sure it's not artificial, then shine it with a flashlight to determine what kind of animal the "stuffing" inside is, and then you can purchase it with confidence.
Large and relatively scarce amber has been intercepted at the source, and what flows to the market can only be regarded as "commercial goods". However, if you can't make a pendant, you can make more of it and make it into a bracelet.
Pick up a piece and shine it with a strong flashlight...
spider……
Gently put it back and pick up another piece...
Opaque?
Zhou Yan was a little surprised and carefully observed the transparent outline...
Can a crab also turn into a worm?
He put down the flashlight calmly, put aside the other rough amber stones he had just selected, and picked up the "special" piece of amber seemingly casually: "Boss, how much is the total?"
"I'll give you a thousand!"
Pick up the leak and leave quickly.
Cheng Lidong saw Zhou Yan's expression was different and knew that this guy might have found something good. After he was far away, he stepped forward and said, "Did you find something good?"
"Well," Zhou Yan took out a larger piece of amber from the bag and looked at the sun, "If I'm right, this is a piece of crab amber."
"That's a really rare thing..."
Among the many miscellaneous items on the market, the ones that are relatively more colorful are Easter eggs. Things that may seem ordinary in the eyes of Chinese people can also be played with, and the Faberge Easter eggs, commonly known as "Tsar Easter Eggs", are even more famous.
The legend of the Easter egg world.
Although Zhou Yan doesn't have Easter, after all, his child will be born in half a year, so he can buy some as a celebration gift.
As for the purchasing method, it is naturally a luxury purchase.
In addition to the small gifts they need to give to relatives and friends, Zhou Yan and his wife have basically rounded up the high-end goods in the Easter egg section.
Of course, Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu did not forget to give a batch of gifts to Cheng Lidong's family and Xiao Huangmao.
Only then did Zhou Yan set his sights on the “highlight”—the Gemstone District.
Compared with the "my country's vast territory and abundant resources" in primary and secondary school textbooks, Da Mao is truly a vast territory and abundant resources. The production of various gemstones ranks among the top in the world, and the largest production is naturally diamonds.
Although the jewelry company under the "Old Zhou Family" imports a large amount of non-diamond gemstones from the north every year and has no shortage of inventory, for Zhou Yan, there is no way to find treasures in street stalls when purchasing in large quantities.
In addition to diamonds, relatively many gemstones on the market include emeralds, aquamarines, beryls and amethysts.
In the border mutual market, there are certain tariff concessions. Although the price may not be as good as the "direct source mining" price of the mine, it is already much cheaper than the market price.
As for the beeswax that has become very popular after many years, the price in the market is only a little more expensive than industrial rosin, and can be weighed by the pound.
After selecting gems and paying, a group of people began to wander around the market, purchasing some small items as small gifts for relatives and friends.
When several people walked near the food and medicinal materials area, they found a group of people surrounding it.
"Go and watch the fun?"
I leaned over and stretched my head to see an old farmer sitting cross-legged on the ground on the side of the road. On the plastic sheet placed there was a fresh ginseng as thick as a baby's arm.
Seeing ginseng, Zhou Yan looked back at Xiao Huangmao: "Junior, what do you think?"
"I don't know," Xiao Huangmao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "However, my dad said that the water in this thing is very deep, so it is best to buy dry goods. I don't know the specific reason..."
Cheng Lidong, who had his ears pricked up at the side, tilted his head and asked in a low voice: "Zhou Yan, how can this thing be fake?"
"I took a look just now, and it's definitely ginseng," Zhou Yan replied in a low voice, "But this ginseng is also divided into wild ones, under the forest and under the garden. The wild ones are dug up and planted under the forest. When they grow, they are basically the same as those in the wild."
It won’t come out. As for the price…”
Zhou Yan chuckled...
"Then this thing..."
"The main function of ginseng is to replenish qi and strengthen the heart. It is similar to a stimulant, but it has no side effects at a safe dose..." Zhou Yan happily explained, "For medicinal purposes, the ginseng bought in the drugstore has the same effect.
.Of course, if you plan to buy it back and pretend to be a fool, you will definitely be fooled..."
While talking, Zhou Yan glanced at the hands of the ginseng buyer, which were smoother and tenderer than those of Father Zhou: You know, Father Zhou has not made great efforts to cultivate the land for several years, and he is no longer a farmer in the traditional sense.
Already.
"Um..." Xiao Huangmao on the side moved forward, took out a business card from the interlayer of his schoolbag, and handed it to Zhou Yan, "Senior, my family is in the Chinese herbal medicine business. If you want to buy medicinal ginseng,
Take this business card and you will get a discount..."
"Kaixuan medicinal materials?" Zhou Yan glanced at the business card, a little surprised, and looked at Xiao Huangmao curiously, "Your father, Zou Kaixuan, are you Zou Dongning?"
The little yellow-haired Zou Dongning was startled: "Senior, do you know my dad?"
"Drinking together..."
At present, Yunmai Pharmaceutical's largest project, the early-stage cancer prevention and rehabilitation project, requires a large number of personal parameters. Therefore, when Yunmai purchases medicinal materials, it is rare that it does not go through a cooperative pharmacy, but directly from the place of production.
After watching the excitement for a while, a few people walked away.
On the way, little yellow-haired Zou Dongning quietly called his father.
"Little bastard, don't you have enough money on the road?" When the call was answered, Zou Kaixuan scolded him, "I told you to be careful. Do you regret it now?"
"Old man, where did all this go?" Zou Dongning was a little speechless, "I met your partner on the road. He drives a big RV and is much better than you..."
"RV, none of my brothers drive a RV... Oh, what's your name?"
"The senior of our first flight, Zhou Yan?"
"Zhou Yan?" Zou Kaixuan's voice on the phone was a little excited, "Is he over 1.8 meters tall? He wears glasses and looks very elegant... By the way, is he majoring in aerospace engines?"
"That's it!"
"That's right, little bastard, just take it easy and take good care of me. I'll buy you a car later..."
"Porsche?"
"If you want a RV, I'll find a way for you..."
When Zou Dongning came back, Zhou Yan found that something was not right about this kid. Combining his performance before and after, he could naturally guess the reason.
However, it was rare to see the young man from Sheniu become cautious. Zhou Yan didn't bother to correct him or tell him that their medicinal material company had been listed on Yunmai's excellent supplier list...
After purchasing a lot of food and accessories, everyone felt that they no longer wanted to go shopping, so they set off towards the end of the journey, Hulun Lake.
Once you are used to seeing blue sky and blue sea, seeing the same color of water and sky on the grassland always makes your eyes bright and makes you feel relaxed and happy.
There is no oppression of the endless blue sea and rough waves, only the comfort and comfort of the green grass.
Of course, it would be even more pleasant to have a barbecue outdoors by the lake. A little sheep was kindly sponsored by "local tycoon" Zou Dongning, and Zhou Yan and Cheng Lidong were in charge of the barbecue.
The ladies were sitting comfortably on folding chairs under parasols, looking at the sparkling lake and talking about their plans after returning home...
