Chapter 96: The Elegant Heart Stone
Seeing this, Jin Shumei was a little relieved, but she still asked uneasily: "How much is the processing fee?" She was worried that if she didn't say the processing fee in advance, it would be bad for the store owner to lie to herself after she was done.
The shopkeeper wanted to say that the processing fee was waived, and that only the pieces were left behind, but after thinking about it, the mother and daughter were quite shrewd, so that they knew that they were trying to figure out their pieces, and what kind of branches would come back to them. said in his mouth: "You don't want to charge too much processing fees, and if you charge less, I guess you won't be happy, I met two beauties today, even if you make a friend, just charge a hundred yuan, how about it?"
When Jin Shumei heard this, the offer was quite reasonable, not too high, and certainly not low. So he motioned to Wen Yaxin to take out the spar and let the shopkeeper process it.
Wen Yaxin took out the spar suspiciously and handed it to the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper took the spar, he tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and finally he was able to see the whole picture of this peerless treasure.
The shopkeeper took the spar and was not in a hurry to process it, but held it in his hand and played with it repeatedly. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he looked at it, the more reluctant he became.
Wen Yaxin saw that the owner of the store didn't process it for a long time in his hand, and asked with a little dissatisfaction: "Boss, when will you start processing?"
The shopkeeper turned his head to look at Wen Yaxin, and said with a smile on his face: "Before processing, I have to survey this stone to see where the knife can be carved to be beautiful and economical." I have to be worthy of your trust in me and my own reputation for my craft!"
Wen Yaxin glanced at Jin Shumei after listening, and Jin Shumei heard that what the shopkeeper said was also reasonable, so she nodded slightly, signaling Wen Yaxin not to be in a hurry and be a little more patient.
The shopkeeper carefully inspected the spar, accurately measured the dimensions, and already had the approximate shape and size of the carved fire phoenix in his heart, as well as the size and quantity of waste materials he could leave behind, and nodded with satisfaction.
The shopkeeper quickly made all the preparations, put on his work clothes, put on protective equipment, and officially entered the engraving operation.
When the shopkeeper cut the first knife, the fast-rotating electric abrasive and the hedron had just come into contact, and there was no harsh friction sound and rapid sparks when the abrasive and the stone were in contact with the stone. It was as if an abrasive was cutting a warm, soft material, and only made a muffled sound.
The shopkeeper was shocked when he saw this, and it was indeed a rare treasure.
Wen Yaxin's mother and daughter were not particularly surprised when they saw this, because they didn't see much of this kind of scene and didn't know what normal should look like.
The shopkeeper was secretly proud in his heart, but fortunately the mother and daughter agreed to let them process the spar, so that they could have a chance to get some pieces, and if they cut them well, the remaining pieces would be enough to make a fortune for themselves.
When the first piece of the projected scrap was about to be cut, the shopkeeper was glad that he had a piece of hedron in his hands.
However, when the first knife was cut to the end, the expected pieces did not fall to the ground as expected, but automatically shifted to the other part of the hedron, and quickly merged with the original spar.
The shopkeeper was shocked, and he immediately slashed the second and third slashes......
As a result, without exception, none of the cut pieces fell to the ground, but all of them were transferred to other parts of the hedron and merged with the hedron again.
At the same time that the shopkeeper exclaimed in his heart that it was indeed a magical stone, his heart also began to collapse, and it seemed that he didn't want to get a little bit of such a spar today.
Wen Yaxin didn't see anything strange, she thought that the shopkeeper was constantly changing the shape of the spar like the noodles.
Although Jin Shumei saw a clue, she saw that the spar did not have any loss, and she did not make a sound, but just stared at the shopkeeper intently.
The shopkeeper was not discouraged, he tried many times, and the result was the same every time, and it seemed that he didn't want to cut a little bit from this spar today.
I didn't want to process it for them, but just now I took the initiative to help others process it. Let's just carve it to deal with the past.
So, after a simple carving, he made the general outline of a fire phoenix and handed it to Wen Yaxin.
When Jin Shumei saw it, she stopped doing it first, "What are you processing?" After hastily processing it, there is the outline of a fire phoenix, wings, tail, phoenix feet, etc. ”
The shopkeeper was very annoyed at the moment, he had planned it well, but now the bamboo basket was empty, and he said unhappily: "You don't understand this, right? The fire phoenix is a kind of divine bird, and no one has ever seen the real appearance, so it only needs to be like it." ”
Jin Shumei was not convinced, and argued: "But you are too simple, it can be carved with a few knives, and it is far from the shape of other fire phoenixes in your store." ”
The shopkeeper had an idea, "If you like other fire phoenixes, you can exchange this for that." ”
Wen Yaxin hurriedly said: "We won't change it, but it's too rough for you to carve us like this, right?"
Seeing that the plan was unsuccessful, the shopkeeper thought that the mother and daughter were so shrewd that they would not be able to take advantage of them today, so he wanted to send them away quickly. A few customers outside the store wanted to come in and have a look, but when they saw them arguing, they immediately walked away.
The shopkeeper said, "Then how do you think carving is good?"
Jin Shumei pointed to a sculpture of a fire phoenix on the shelf and said, "Carved in the shape of this fire phoenix in your shop." ”
The shopkeeper said: "These two materials are different, and besides, it took me 2 days to carve this fire phoenix, can you wait for 2 days?"
Jin Shumei was speechless angrily.
Seeing this, Wen Yaxin felt that there was no point in arguing any longer, but she also had to find a step and said, "That's it, we don't ask for anything else, you can engrave my name on it, and it can be regarded as a souvenir." ”
The shopkeeper looked unhappy and said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Wen Yaxin. ”
The shopkeeper felt that carving all three characters on one side required a very meticulous knife technique. So he engraved a text on one side and the word Yaxin on the other.
Wen Yaxin took the carved spar, although the attitude of the shop owner is a little unfriendly, but the carving skills are still very powerful, a few words carved Shen Yi is super easy, Wen Yaxin is full of joy.
After paying a processing fee of 100 yuan, Jin Shumei was about to leave the store.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper walked up with a smile on his face, and respectfully handed over a business card, "Two beauties, this is a contemptible business card, if you want to sell this stone in the future, you can give me a call." ”
Jin Shumei turned around, took the business card, and read: "Wang Jincai." ”
"It's despicable. ”
"Then you can make a maximum price, and if no one bids you higher than you when we want to make a sale, we will call you. ”
"This ...... This one....... "The shopkeeper Wang Jincai supported me for a long time.
"You see, you don't have the slightest sincerity to buy. If someone offers a price higher than your highest expectations, do you say that I will call you or not? If you don't fight, I'm sorry for the business card you handed me today!"
"300,000...... 500,000. Wang Jincai spent a long time and finally reported a number, and then after thinking about it, he reported a figure of 500,000.
When Jin Shumei heard this, she couldn't help but gasp, good guy, I almost quoted a price of 50,000 yuan just now. With a smile on his face, he said, "Okay, Boss Wang, if we change our minds that day and want to sell, we will definitely give you a call and give you a chance to compete fairly." ”
Wang Jincai heard that he was busy and said: "Thank you, beauty, thank you, eldest sister." ”
Jin Shumei's mother and daughter turned around and officially walked out of the store.
