Wear It with Space

At this time, there were as many as seven days of the May Day holiday. Zhou Mu decided to take this opportunity to stay here for a few more days to take good care of the young couple's daily life.

Zhou Jin did not want Zhou's mother to stay at home all the time. He took her out to play most of the time. Sometimes he called Shen Ling, and sometimes they were both mother and son.

Shen Ling planned to wait for Zhou's mother to leave before discussing with Zhou Jin about going to Xinjiang, and then began to focus most of his energy on the Dushan jade rough he had just purchased.

Before, she made most of Dushan jade into large pieces. Later, I discovered that the best selling items in the store are those small accessories that seem inconspicuous but have a lot of profit. After all, there are still too few really rich people, so Shen Ling decided to take the mid-to-high-end route based on previous experience.

For this Dushan jade rough, she plans to make more small accessories, such as rings, earrings, bracelets, beads, necklaces, etc. In addition, she also plans to make some antique jewelry, such as jade hairpins and hosta. She has the experience of living in ancient times, and there are so many jewelry collections in the space, so she can have a steady stream of inspiration almost without design.

It just so happened that the Dushan jade rough she bought this time is of good quality, and the color is correct. It is the best for jewelry.

In the last few days that Zhou Mu was here, a hollow orchid pearl hairpin collected in Shen Ling's reference space made a white magnolia flower hairpin. The material is white Dushan jade, and a half-open orchid blooms at the top.

Later, when I saw that there was plenty of time, Shen Ling made another pair of orchid bud-shaped earrings. The pair of earrings were made of light green jade. It was a small piece of material Shen Ling placed in the space, just enough to make a pair of earrings. Originally, she kept this piece of material for Mother Xu, but when she thought that Mother Zhou had come to take care of their daily life for so many days, Shen Ling decided to give her the pair of earrings and the hollow orchid hairpin together.

Zhou Mu herself liked jade very much. She liked the jade pendant that Shen Ling gave her before, and she wore it on her body early in the morning. Now that she saw the elegant and generous styles of the hairpins and earrings that Shen Ling gave her, she couldn't help but put it down, so she declined slightly and accepted it.

Zhou Jin smiled and said: "This pair of hairpins and earrings look like a pair. Let me think about what clothes to wear. By the way, it looks even better with a jade-colored cheongsam."

So on the last day of Zhou Mu's departure, Shen Ling and Zhou Jin took her to the mall and bought a jade-colored cheongsam.

The jade-colored cheongsam was not exquisite in workmanship, and the embroidery on it was a bit rough, but Zhou Mu liked it very much. She likes everything antique, like jade, cheongsam, embroidery and so on.

Shen Ling felt that Zhou Jin's love for antiques was probably due to Zhou Mu's influence.

On the last day of May Day, Shen Ling and Zhou Jin sent Zhou Mu away. Mother Zhou took the gifts his son and daughter-in-law bought for her, and happily boarded the train.

When Zhou Jin drove the car back, Shen Ling took the opportunity to bring up the matter of going to Xinjiang.

Zhou Jin glanced at her, "Xinjiang, what are you going to do there?"

Shen Ling said, "I just met a jade carver, and he told me that hetian jade from Xinjiang is much better than Dushan jade for jade carving."

Zhou Jin was silent for a while, just when Shen Ling thought he would not agree to go, he finally broke the silence and said, "How long are you going to go?"

Shen Ling thought for a moment, "About two months!" Gao Rui said that the jade mines in Xinjiang are not strictly managed by the government. They only need to pay a certain fee to obtain the mining rights. Because he doesn't have much time, he always buys processed jade from those mine owners. But if you have enough time, you can go to Hetian Yulong Kashi River to dig jade by yourself.

Shen Ling didn't have much funds, so he planned to dig jade by himself and get some Hetian jade back.

Zhou Jin said as he drove: "It's not impossible if you want to go. But we are planning to have a baby at the end of the year. You have to enter the pregnancy preparation stage two months in advance. I have already planned the exercise and diet plan for the pregnancy preparation stage. Maybe. It will take some time, as long as you can spare time when you come back."

Shen Ling felt that there was a flow of space, and those jade carvings could be done in space, so he basically didn't care about the plan Zhou Jin said. Seeing that he promised to go to Xinjiang, he booked a plane ticket to Xinjiang after he got home.

After arriving in Xinjiang, Shen Ling realized that the scene of digging jade was more shocking than he thought.

There are almost hundreds of thousands of people digging jade on the Hetian Yulong Kashi River. Some people also bring excavators. Excavators and crowds are everywhere on the river bed. The scene is very spectacular.

In such a big environment, Shen Ling felt that the possibility of digging Hetian jade by himself was very small. Even if there is a pill of perspective, maybe the stone that I fancy is in the hands of others at the moment. So she tried to dig here for two days, and after digging two good seed jade, she decisively left.

Her second destination was one of the traditional old mining areas mentioned by Gao Rui. The mine owner allowed the guests who bought jade to pick up jade in the mining area by themselves. In addition, this mining area will also sell some collected Hetian jade to the public. So every year there are a lot of customers here to pick up jade and buy jade.

After Shen Ling arrived here, explaining that he had come to pick up jade, he was taken to an unused open space by the workers in the mining area. Thousands of large and small stones are piled on it. Around the stone, a dozen people gathered there carefully selecting the stone.

The workers told Shen Ling that these were newly mined stones that had not yet been selected, and one stone was sold for 500 yuan. If she wants to pick up jade, she first pays five hundred yuan for picking up jade.

This rule has existed for a long time, and Shen Ling has also heard of it from Gao Rui. The owner of this mining area is a savvy person, because sometimes he can not find Hetian jade from the quarried stone, so he opens a part of the stone to the guests who come to buy jade. As long as you dig out five hundred yuan, you can pick and choose those stones at will. If you have a fancy stone, you can buy it for another five hundred yuan. The mining area also provides free treatment stones to help you see if the selected stones contain jade.

You can buy a stone that may contain Hetian jade for only 500 yuan. Many people can't stand the temptation to buy it. Over time, the business of picking jade turned out to be more profitable than picking jade. The mine owner tasted the sweetness and opened half of the mined stone to these guests.

The stones Shen Ling saw were only one of the piles. After she dig out 500 pieces, the workers told her several places where the stones were piled.

Shen Ling looked through Tanghou under his suit, and began to pick among these piles of rocks. During the selection process, in order not to attract the attention of others, Shen Ling pulled the stone slowly. In an hour, she probably turned over the pile of stones, and only picked out a piece of Hetian jade with the size of a palm. The surface of that piece of Hetian jade rough is a little pitted, and the color is close to dark red. There is a piece of green and white jade the size of an egg.

Although the quality of this blue-white jade was not as good as the two seed jade that Shen Ling had dug on the river bed before, it was larger than the two seed jade, and it could be made into a few small ornaments or small pieces. Or it can be made into a jade animal according to its shape.

Shen Ling then went to several other places where stones were placed, but the harvest was not great.

Those mine owners feel that the stones that may produce jade are generally handed over to the workers to select, and those who are open to their guests are all stones that are not expected to produce jade based on experience. Therefore, Shen Ling finally found only three rough stones containing Hetian jade. Two of them are sapphire, and the remaining one is the sapphire and white jade that Shen Ling first picked up.

Although adding the two pieces of seed jade dug from the river bed, Shen Ling now has five pieces of Hetian jade on hand, but she is still a little dissatisfied.

Before she came to Xinjiang, she specifically checked some information about Hetian jade.

According to the color, Hetian jade is mainly divided into white jade, topaz, sapphire, jasper and black jade. The most precious suet jade is a kind of white jade, which is very rare.

As precious as mutton white jade is topaz with good jade quality. Next are Moyu and Jasper, and the most common is Sapphire.

Those two seed jade can barely be called white jade, but they are much worse than mutton fat white jade. Shen Ling did not expect to find mutton white jade, but also wanted to find the more precious topaz and jasper.

But the funds she had on hand were not enough to buy the processed Hetian jade, so she went to the third destination, a newly discovered jade mine. This jade mine was discovered by herself through investigation, because the location of the jade mine is above the 5,000-meter snow line, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the air is thin, so it is very difficult to mine.

However, the harsh conditions for ordinary people are not a problem for Shen Ling.

After she became Xu Bing, she picked up the Hanyue exercise according to her previous habit. Now that two years have passed, her internal strength has made little progress, and ordinary snow-capped mountains can't trouble her at all.

It was still time for Shen Ling to come. It was summer, and some of the snow on the snow-capped mountains had melted, and the road was relatively easy to follow. Shen Ling hired an experienced driver and arrived at the jade mine in mid-May.

After hearing about Shen Ling's intention, the owner of the jade mine looked at her up and down. He didn't understand why Shen Ling left the jade mine under the mountain and didn't look for it, so he had to come in such a harsh environment. But seeing Shen Ling coming so far, he thought about it and agreed to take Shen Ling to an unmined mining area to see it.

The mine owner brought Shen Ling to a valley, and there was still a lot of unmelted snow in the valley. On both sides of the valley are unmined rock walls, which look unusually strong.

The mine owner pointed to the messy rocks under the stone wall and told Shen Ling that she could pick them up at will, but it was best not to exceed one day.

Shen Ling soaked it softly and hard for a long time before persuading the mine owner to accept her 1,000 yuan and promised her to stay here for three days in the mining area.

Because of Shen Ling's 1,000 yuan, the mine owner also provided her with a set of tools for free. However, the mine owner felt that with the strength of a girl in Shen Ling, he might not be able to hold on for long.

After the mine owner left, Shen Ling looked through Dan in casual clothes to observe the unmined mining area.

Under the action of the perspective pill, Shen Ling soon discovered that there was a fist-sized blue and white jade deep in a stone wall. However, the location of that piece of blue-white jade was quite a few meters from the surface of the rock wall, and with her ability, she might not be able to dig there in three days. Shen Ling gave up directly.

After searching for fifteen minutes, Shen Ling once again locked his gaze on a stone wall. This time, there was a piece of dark green jasper hidden in the stone wall, which was also relatively large, about the size of a fist. Compared with that piece of blue-white jade, it is relatively close to the surface of the stone wall, about one meter away.

A fist-sized jasper is enough to make a jade bracelet.

Shen Ling started the work of beating and beating with the tools provided by the mine owner. Even with internal help, the rock wall itself was very hard, and it took Shen Ling a full day to take out the piece of jasper.

With Jasper, Shen Ling's confidence greatly increased, and he continued to observe the mining area with the perspective pill.

She scanned the rocks on the ground, and there was almost no rough stone containing Hetian jade. The places where Hetian jade is stored are in the depths of the stone wall. There is a piece of white jade that is close to the size of a mutton jade, which is about the size of a basketball. Unfortunately, it is tens of meters away from the stone wall. Shen Ling can only sigh and choose to give up.

So after getting the piece of jasper, Shen Ling didn't get any more. When she was about to go back to the hometown, she accidentally heard several mining workers talking about being at a certain height in the mining area because the snow melted and a huge rock was exposed. The edge of the stone was a little white, glowing warmly under the sunlight, and what was inside should be a good piece of white jade.

However, the high place was on the cliff, and the road was dangerous and the **** was high, so a few workers only talked about it and threw it away.

Shen Ling's heart moved slightly.
