Chapter 113

"Not yet, is there a cheaper card for temporary use?" Yang Ming asked, "We may not be able to stay here for many days!"

"Then buy a Shenzhouxing public card. It's not registered, and you don't have a moon clan. You can use it if you recharge!" The salesman introduced: "Calling calls is 20 cents, answering calls is free, and long-distance dialing 12593 is 30 cents!"

"Okay, this is what I want." Yang Ming nodded, thinking it was a good deal.

"The card number fee is 30 yuan, and the recharge card is 100 yuan, a total of 130 yuan." The salesman said: "Here is the number list, you can choose the number! As long as the number does not have an asterisk or triangle at the end, it is fine. The symbol is an auspicious number, and you need to pay extra. But if you use it temporarily, there is no need at all!"

Yang Ming randomly chose a casual one, the mantissa is 3401, and Lan Ling's is 3402. When opening a Shenzhouxing card, there is no need to wait, it can be used directly after charging the value, after a test, you can make a call, and Yang Ming paid directly.

Because the mobile phone card does not involve any issues such as three guarantees, so there is no need to issue an invoice, just pay the money directly.

Yang Ming took out the warranty card and accessories and put them in Lan Ling's small bag, and the packing box was thrown away. Although there are these things, it will be easier to sell them as second-hand in the future, but Yang Ming doesn't expect to sell a mobile phone worth more than 200 yuan.

After going out, Yang Ming called Zhang Bing.

"Hello? Who is it?" Zhang Bing looked at the unknown number and asked strangely.

"Hello, this is Hong Kong Dabin Group. Your mobile phone number has won the second prize..." Yang Ming said solemnly.

"Get out, I don't believe it! If you hit me again, call the police...En? Yang Ming?" Zhang Bin suddenly felt that the other party's voice was so familiar: "Damn it, why is it you!"

"Ha, I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction. Could it be that you have been fooled?" Yang Ming laughed.

"Idiots are fooled!" Zhang Bin said: "Since I have a mobile phone, I have received no less than ten such harassing calls and text messages!"

"This is my mobile phone number. I just bought it. Call me if you need anything!" Yang Ming said.

"Okay, where are you?" Zhang Bin asked.

"I'm going to the bookstore!" Yang Ming said, "What's the matter?"

"No, you guys go for a walk, I'll sleep in a while, don't call me if you have nothing to do!" Zhang Bing ordered.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming asked Lan Ling, "Do you know where there is a bookstore near here?"

"You want to buy books?" Lan Ling was slightly taken aback, who would buy books when traveling.

"Well, buy a few books about jade." Yang Ming didn't hide anything from Lan Ling.

"So that's how it is!" Lan Ling nodded: "There is a Xinhua Bookstore on Nanmen Street, Fifth Street. By the way, Yang Ming, you haven't told me what happened this morning! You just returned to Hotel, patronizing like you, I forgot to ask!"

"Who told you to be full of unhealthy thoughts! Little girl!" Yang Ming patted Lan Ling's little butt and said.

"I just think to myself, if you don't want to, I can't help it! If you are not tough, I can't do anything to you if you are exhausted!" Lan Ling whispered in Yang Ming's ear.

Depend on! Isn't this seductive!

Lan Ling easily found out what was wrong with Yang Ming, and said angrily, "Look, I don't know who is full of unhealthy minds, just thinking about it on the street!"

"See how I punish you tonight!" Yang Ming gave Lan Ling a hard look.

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!" Lan Ling jumped up and down like a child, with a very happy expression.

Yang Ming was really helpless, so he had to change the subject: "What happened this morning?"

"When you were betting on stones in the morning, how did you know whether the jade in the stones was good or bad? It must be your first contact today?" Lan Ling asked strangely, "Do you have the same intuition as me?"

"That's not true. I'm lucky!" Yang Ming hasn't decided whether to tell Lan Ling about his abilities. After all, this is no small matter!

"Forget it if you don't tell me!" Lan Ling pursed her lips with an unhappy expression.

"It's not that I won't tell you, but my situation is quite special, and it's hard to describe!" Yang Ming made an excuse for himself. What happened to Yang Ming was indeed very strange, but it was not indescribable, but it was more troublesome to describe.

"Okay!" Lan Ling let Yang Ming go. However, she didn't take it to heart, and forgot about it after a while.

Because of the particularity of Tengchong's geographical location and trade, Xinhua Bookstore has many books about jade. Jade is here, just like a kind of culture. As a native of Tengchong, if you don't know anything about it, you'd be ashamed!

According to the sign at the door, Yang Ming and Lan Ling easily found the special counter for jade books. Here, there are still a few readers standing, among them is a man who looks like a scholar, probably in his fifties.

Looking at the dazzling array of books, Yang Ming felt a little headache. He had this feeling when he bought the lip language teaching materials. Now people's living standards are too high, and spiritual culture is also rich, but correspondingly, there are more cultural products that are fake.

If it’s prose novels, comic books, etc., it doesn’t matter if you brag a little bit, but academic books, if you make up nonsense, something is wrong!

Now, there are not a few such "professional" books. It’s okay if it’s just a patchwork. You can’t learn anything after reading it, but you can’t learn anything bad. I’m afraid that those who don’t know how to pretend to understand nonsense will write books full of fallacies. Isn’t this misleading people? !

Yang Ming flipped through a few books and became a little confused. One person has one point of view. Each author has a different understanding of jade. It can be said that it is quite different. How can I read this book!

Lan Ling's ability to recognize jade is entirely based on feeling, and his knowledge of jade is also very good, but he knows nothing about it.

"What's the matter, young man, look at your frowning face?" The old man standing beside Yang Ming asked suddenly.

"Old man, I want to study the knowledge of jade, but I don't know which book to read!" Yang Ming saw that he had been looking for books here for a long time, and asked with the idea of ​​giving it a try: "But I I found that many books have different opinions, and I don’t know what to do!”

"Hehe! So it's because of this!" The old man laughed and said, "There's nothing to worry about! Most of the books you mentioned are appreciation books, and many of these books are written by collectors. Interests, hobbies and perspectives are not the same, and the opinions written will naturally be different!"

"However, isn't the value of jade ultimately determined by what these collectors say?" Yang Ming asked doubtfully.

"Not necessarily! To a certain extent, what they said can indeed be used as a reference for evaluating the value of a piece of jade, but it's not entirely like this!" The old man took out a copy of "Appreciation of Hetian Jade Wares" from the bookshelf. Book, opened a page, pointed to the photo on it and said: "It's like these two jade bracelets! Look carefully, the materials used for these two bracelets are similar. Look here, there is their texture evaluation Report!"

Yang Ming took a look, and sure enough, the quality of the two is almost the same, but the difference in the estimated price is as much as two million!

"See? Wonder why this connoisseur praises one bracelet but dismisses the other?" asked the old gentleman.

Yang Ming shook his head, how did he know this! If he knew, he would not be troubled!

"Hehe, young man, the texture of jade is important, but the person who carves it is also very important! The carving techniques of these two jade bracelets are different. Take a closer look. The one with the high evaluation is very finely carved, while the other one is very fine." Very rough!" the old gentleman explained.

"Ah! That's how it is!" Yang Ming suddenly realized! Just now I only paid attention to the difference in the texture of jade, and didn't care about its carving process. "I said jade of the same texture, why is there such a big difference in price!"

"Yes, the sculptor of this bracelet may be a novice. To put it bluntly, this piece of jade blinded him!" The old man shook his head regretfully.

"I understand!" Yang Ming nodded: "Then old man, what books do you think a beginner like me should read?"

"If you are interested in jade, you can learn from the texture of jade. For example, this book is more suitable for you!" The old man took out a book with a not very beautiful cover from the corner of the bookshelf and handed it to Yang Ming. .
