After eating a good meal and making a pot of tea, Xia Jie sat under the bamboo shed and unconsciously recalled the green past for an hour in the chat group.

Zhu Dayong held his eagle and went back to continue polishing.

Xu Fugui also continued to wash the porcelain clay in the courtyard without saying a word.

As for Song Xiaodong, he naturally wanted to chat with Xia Jie.

Doodle!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of car horns outside the door.

Without waiting for Xia Jie to take a look, Song Xiaodong had already jumped out first.

"Brother Jie, it's Mr. Yao who is here!"

Seeing the 6666 Land Rover at the door, Song Xiaodong turned his head and shouted.

Xia Jie nodded and stood up unhurriedly.

On WeChat just now, Yao Yiyao had already sent a message in advance to ask if he was at home, so he naturally knew.

"Haha, Master Xia, I didn't bother you!"

Yao Yiyao walked in with a smile on his face and said.

"No, Mr. Yao, what's the matter, did you find any good root material?"

Xia Jie said with a slight smile.

After all, such a big boss won't come over to see him when he has nothing to do.

"Well, my friend helped me collect some roots, so I want you to take a look. ”

Yao Yiyao nodded, pointed to a pickup truck following behind him, and said.

Behind the car, there was a black piece of wood.

"Let's take it off!"

With Mr. Yao's instructions, a few entourages who came with him immediately got into the pickup truck, and hummed and sent the thigh-thick, more than one meter long, and somewhat peculiar shape of the wood down to the yard.

"Master Xia, take a look, how is this material?"

Yao Yiyao pointed to the root material and asked very humbly.

According to David, if you want to engage in collecting, you must either invest in antiques or invest in masters, especially the kind of masters with potential, which is definitely worth befriending.

Because the price to be paid for the latter is certainly far less than that of the former.

After many understandings, he could be 100% sure that the young man in front of him belonged to a potential master of root carving and porcelain.

But you have to take it step by step, first ask him to make a root carving, as for porcelain, it is the next step.

It's really beautiful!

Xia Jie walked up, swept his eyes over the black root material, squinted his eyes and asked.

"Gloomy wood?"

"Hehe, that's right, Master Xia is really discerning!"

Yao Yiyao nodded again and again.

Peeling off the corners and revealing the black-brown bark, seeing the undulating scar material inside, Xia Jie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then leaned in and sniffed it.

A faint warm and mellow fragrance is coming to the nose.

This is......

Xia Jie turned around and picked up the saw and cut a small face, only to see that there were obvious water ripples on it.

He scooped a spoonful of water, then poured it on it and wiped it with his hands.

I saw that the dark yellow color of the wood was deeper, and the surface was faintly glowing with black luster.

"Mr. Yao, your material is golden silk nan gloomy wood, and it is also a superb black and gold!"

With a conclusion, Xia Jie couldn't help but turn his head and say.

"Master Xia, this wood was collected by a friend for me, and I told me that it was ebony, and it cost 200,000 yuan, do you say it's worth it?"

Yao Yiyao asked.

He doesn't care about spending more or less, but he cares about whether he has been cheated.

After all, I bought it in a hurry, and I didn't think too much about it.

"This ......"

Xia Jie was slightly stunned.

Although he can tell what this material is, he is not very clear about the price.

"I think you should ask Mr. David, he knows better!"

"Well, that's right!"

Yao Yiyao immediately picked up his mobile phone and made a video call to David.

The phone was quickly connected, and David on the other side was lying comfortably on the sofa, drinking a red wine glass in his hand.

"Hey, dear Mr. Yao, what's the matter?"

"Haha, Mr. David, hello hello, I bought a root material here, and I am going to ask Master Xia to carve it, he just saw it, and said that it was Jin Si Nan gloomy wood, so I want to ask you about the market price." ”

Yao Yiyao asked directly.

"Watts!"

David, who was on the other side of the phone, sat up directly.

After all, he is a senior collector, and he is very familiar with the value of various precious materials.

Moreover, as an aristocrat he is more about credibility than some experts who are easy to buy.

"Mr. Yao, please let me talk to Master Xia on the phone!"

"Okay!"

Yao Yiyao handed the phone to Xia Jie in response.

"Hi, Master Xia, hello!"

David waved at Xia Jie and said with a smile.

His collection of "Burning Horses" has been appreciated by many relatives and friends, and has received unanimous praise and admiration, and many people want to ask him to buy it.

Of course, it is impossible to sell horses, if there are other suitable ones, hehe!

Especially after seeing that Xia Jie was able to make that Yao Transformation Heavenly Eye Lamp, his status was once again raised a lot in his mind.

That's a rare thing to see at Sotheby's auctions, and it's a good thing that attracts a lot of attention!

Even without the addition of historical ingredients, the scarcity of no one for hundreds of years can definitely sell for a high price.

So he just returned to China from the UK, and he was preparing to take time in the past few days, bring two bottles of good wine, and come to visit Xia Jie.

It is absolutely harmless to be able to make friends with him.

"Hello, Mr. David!"

Xia Jie nodded in response.

"Are you sure this is the golden silk nan gloomy wood?"

This will naturally have something to say, David asked directly.

"Well, I'm sure, and it's a very high quality black and gold. ”

Xia Jie raised the wood in his hand and shook it in front of the camera.

With his vast experience, he was able to confirm his judgment.

"Wow, my God, that's the best, Mr. Yao, can you sell me this piece of wood?" I'm willing to pay 100,000 pounds!"

Hearing Xia Jie's affirmative reply, and seeing the texture of the wood cut surface, David said without hesitation.

"Haha, Mr. David, I specially brought this to Master Xia to carve, next time, next time, if there are any good materials, I will inform you!"

Hearing David's offer, Yao Yiyao was immediately happy.

It seems that the seller apparently only sold it as ordinary ebony, and this time he earned it.

This joy is even stronger than when he wins a piece of land!

Because this means that he has made a breakthrough in another field.

"Okay, a gentleman doesn't like people, but when Master Xia has carved it, Mr. Yao, you must invite me over to appreciate it!"

David shrugged his shoulders, a little helpless, and said in a crepe manner.

"Definitely, definitely. ”

Mr. Yao agreed again and again, then said a few polite words, and hung up the phone with satisfaction.

"Master Xia, then this piece of root material, I will leave it to you!"

Then, Yao Yiyao looked at Xia Jie expectantly and said.

This good material can only be wasted if you find a master.

Otherwise, if you find three knives at random, it will be a tyrannical thing.
