Chapter 29: Making the Jade Needle

Huaqing Garden, Suzaku Street, the east end of the street.

Old Tong jade carving shop.

"Master Tong, you're busy!"

Li Che saw that an old man with gray hair, wearing a pair of reading glasses, frowned, and looked very serious.

The old man was holding a piece of jade in his hand, and he was carefully operating it on a small jade cutting machine.

Hearing that someone was coming, Lao Tong stopped what he was doing and looked up.

"It's Xiao Zhao, do you have goods again?" Lao Tong thought that Zhao Zhi had come to him to carve things again.

"Master Tong, it's not me who wants to carve this time, it's my friend who wants to carve something. Among these jade carvers I know, your old craftsmanship is the best, no, I'll bring him over. Zhao Zhi said politely with a smile on his face.

"Huh. You, Xiao Zhao, are right. In this Huaqing Garden, or even the entire Banyan City, in this craft, if we Lao Tong want to say that it is the second, no one dares to say that it is the first. As soon as Zhao Zhi's words were flattered, the old man's old face suddenly bloomed, and he boasted about it.

"That's not it!" Zhao Zhi said flatteringly.

But in his heart, he was disdainful, this old guy, said that he was fat, and he was still panting.

Li Che looked at it casually, this old man carved out of things, not to mention, it was really good.

Insects, birds, plants and trees, all of them are lifelike.

There are also a lot of Guanyin, Maitreya Buddha, landscapes and the like, which are really profound.

"Young man, what do you want to carve?" Lao Tong glanced at Li Che and said lightly.

"I want to use this piece of jade to polish thirteen jade needles. Li Che took out the piece of mutton fat white jade from his schoolbag and said to Lao Tong.

"Shhh······ It turned out to be mutton fat white jade. Lao Tong didn't expect that what Li Che took out turned out was mutton fat white jade.

Such a good jade, even he, a person who deals with jade every day, can rarely see it.

"What kind of jade needle?" Lao Tong was surprised, and then remembered that it was a jade needle that Li Che said he wanted to polish just now.

After decades of jade carving, Lao Tong has never carved a jade needle.

"It's the kind of needles used in Chinese medicine acupuncture to treat diseases, and I want thirteen of them. Li Che said.

"Young man, you're joking, aren't you? you can't do it with jade needles. Lao Tong thinks that this young man is simply whimsical.

"I'm not kidding, I just need that needle. Li Che said.

"You know, this Hetian jade, although it is a nephrite, it is also a stone, hard and brittle. Not to mention that you can't grind out the tip of the needle, even the needle body can't be cut. ”

This Lao Tong was looking at Xiao Zhao's face, so he said this to Li Che. Otherwise, Li Che would have been driven out of the door long ago. It's just vexatious.

Zhao Zhi also felt that Li Che's request was a bit excessive, if it was like using gold and silver to make needles, how could there be jade to make needles, isn't it embarrassing?

"Then do you know that anyone can do it?" Li Che continued to ask.

"Hmph! Joke! What I can't make, how can anyone make it. No one can make needles out of jade, so you might as well replace them with something else!" Lao Tong said coldly. I just said, in Rongcheng, the craft of jade carving, he Lao Tong is second, so he didn't dare to say that it was the first, and if you ask like this now, aren't you slapping his old Tong in the face.

"Master Tong, let me use this little machine of yours. Li Che no longer talked to Lao Tong, and sat directly on the seat of the jade grinder.

"He, what is he going to do?" Lao Tong didn't understand, what this young man was going to do.

"Haha, Master Tong, my brother just wants to borrow your machine for use, come, you sit and rest, and I will accompany you to have a cup of tea." Zhao Zhi was not polite, sat at the guest table in Lao Tong's shop, and brought himself a cup of tea.

"Wow······

Li Che turned on the switch of the jade grinder, and then started to operate.

He first cut out thirteen strips of jade from the mutton fat jade, and then picked up another jade strip and grinded it on the grinding wheel.

"Squeak······

A jade strip as thick as chopsticks, in Li Che's hand, slowly, became thinner and thinner.

A minute passed, and the jade strip was only as thin as an embroidery needle.

Li Che began to sharpen the tip of the needle again.

"Impossible, how is this possible?" said Lao Tong's face with an incredulous expression. He couldn't believe that this needle-thin mutton fat jade was held by Li Che and polished on the grinding wheel, and it didn't break.

Not only Lao Tong, but even Zhao Zhi was dumbfounded. How did he do it so fine? You know, this is jade, not gold, silver, copper, and iron.

How did they know that in fact, when Li Che was polishing the jade needle, he used the Dao Yuan in his body to input it into the jade needle, in this case, let alone grinding it with a grinding wheel, even if he used a kitchen knife to cut it, the jade needle would not break.

Li Che didn't care about the surprise of the two people next to him.

After polishing a jade needle, continue to build the second and third ······

After nearly an hour, Li Che stopped what he was doing.

Thirteen jade needles, all polished.

"Master Tong, I can't use your machine in vain. You take out your phone, and I'll transfer the usage fee to you. Li Che said to Lao Tong, who was still surprised next to him.

"Ah, little brother, what are you talking about?" was shouted by Li Che, and Lao Tong came back to his senses.

"I said, this machine can't be used for nothing, and I will transfer the fee for the use of the machine to you. Li Che said it again.

"No, no, no! A master like Little Brother can use my machine, which is already a big face for my old Tong. How can I collect money?"

In Lao Tong's opinion, Li Che must be a genius in their industry, and seeing such an operation, Lao Tong thinks that this is something he can't buy with money.

"In that case, let's find someone to bring you a bottle of good wine another day. Li Che was no longer polite.

"Haha, that's a good feeling!" Lao Tong said with a smile.

"Brother Zhao, you can keep the rest of this piece of mutton fat jade. ”

After polishing the thirteen jade needles, the mutton fat white jade was still the size of a goose egg, and Li Che threw it to Zhao Zhi.

"Here, give it to me?" Zhao Zhi grabbed this piece of white jade with both hands, looking incredulous.

Such a large piece of mutton fat white jade, if there is any pattern on the carving, in the market, it can be at least millions.

Li Che actually gave it to him like this, not in a dream.

"What, you don't want it?" Li Che looked at him playfully.

"Yes, of course! Zhao Zhi smirked.

No, when you go home, you must write Li Che on the small card, and then offer it. This is my brother's living god of wealth, I just sent 300,000 yuan two days ago, and this time I am even more entrenched, directly to millions.

If it weren't for a man, Zhao Zhi would definitely pick up Li Che and kiss him a few times. , I'm so excited.

Li Che found a small box of red sandalwood from Lao Tong's shop and used it to hold thirteen jade needles.

Li Che wanted to give money, Lao Tong said that he wouldn't accept anything, and Zhao Zhi also rushed to give money for Li Che.

After arguing for a long time, Li Che gave up, took the red sandalwood box and jade needle, and left alone.

left Zhao Zhi behind, still entangled with Lao Tong. gave the money for the red sandalwood box, and Zhao Zhi also asked Lao Tong to help him carve the piece of mutton fat white jade in his hand.

Li Che walked out of the antique city and took a taxi to the central mall of Rongcheng.

Rongcheng Central Mall, located in the center of Rongcheng, is the most prosperous place in Rongcheng.

This is the financial center of Banyan City and a shopper's paradise.

There are clothes, jewelry, food, hotels, high-end clubs······

Li Che came here, naturally not to buy things, he just wanted to see what he was doing to make the most money.

If you want to develop your own power, you only have fists and no money, you can't do it.

Li Che walked on the street of the mall, feeling the prosperity here.

"So you're here!"

Suddenly, a woman came over to him, grabbed Li Che's arm, and even called him "dear".

Li Che looked at this woman, she was very beautiful, with two shallow eyebrows like black arcs, a small nose slightly raised, looking childish and cute, thin and beautiful lips.

This girl looks twenty-four or five years old, and her appearance can be equal compared with Tang Ning, and she has more mature charm than Tang Ning.

"Girl, did you recognize the wrong person?" said Li Che with a smile.

"Little handsome guy, don't move, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!"

As soon as the girl finished saying this, Li Che saw a young man walking over.

Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a fluttering demeanor, and a large bouquet of roses in his hand. It's just a little obscene, and there are two people behind him, so it looks like he should be bodyguards.

"Wow! If this man had proposed to me, I would have agreed to him. A bucktooth girl next to her, looking at this rich second generation with a nymphomaniac.

"Okay, just like you, you still want to catch the golden beetle? Don't dream, I'm pretty much the same. The girl standing next to the bucktooth girl shook her twin peaks and said confidently.

"Hmph! You're no better. ”

"That's better than you, too!"

"Qianqian, you are really here, I went to your house to look for you just now. Auntie said you came out to play, so I wanted to come here to try my luck. I didn't expect you to be here, it seems that we really have a heart... Hmm? Who is he?"

When the man in the suit saw his goddess Qianqian, he actually held a man's arm, and in an instant, his face sank.

"Hu Shiming, this is my boyfriend! You see, I already have a boyfriend, don't come to me again in the future." This girl named Qianqian grabbed Li Che's arm and said to the man in the suit.

Hu Shiming glanced at Li Che, the clothes on his body were very ordinary, and the shoes on his feet were cheaper, and at first glance, he was a poor boy.

"Qianqian, you must be joking with me, how could he be your boyfriend?" Hu Shiming said with a smile.

"Why can't it be, tell you, he's my boyfriend. We've been together for a long time. Qianqian said affirmatively.

"Boy, who are you?" Hu Shiming no longer asked Qianqian, but asked Li Che coldly.

"He's my boyfriend, you..." Qianqian was afraid that Li Che would reveal her stuffing, so she hurriedly said first.

"Boy, what about you?" Hu Shiming shouted coldly at Li Che.

"Didn't Qianqian say it just now? I'm her boyfriend, are you deaf or stupid, I don't understand. ”

At this time, Li Che spoke.
