Chapter 398: The Horns Are Bad
You must know that in advance, Jia Rudao had agreed with Ah San, and after coming back from Kangshanling, he would go directly to Lin'an. Anyway, for the general situation of the bloodstone wool on this trip, Jia Yidao and Ah San were also immersed in the scene, so after all, there are no good materials that perform very well in these wool, and it is relatively clear in their hearts.
However, when I saw Miss Yang and your son reappear in the market trading area this afternoon, Jia Nidao's mind has obviously changed, anyway, since I met again, Jia Nidao pondered, should I return the favor yesterday?
As the saying goes, it doesn't matter what you owe, you're afraid of owing favors. The debt of human affection is too troublesome. Especially this kind of human affection that is not big or small.
If it has been rooted in Jia Nidao's heart like this, God knows when it will disturb Jia Nidao's thoughts, so Ah San's words just now are actually half right, that is to say, Jia Nidao really chose to stay for Miss Yang. As for whether it is for a person like Miss Yang, it is not what Ah San knows.
……
Displayed outside the bazaar trading area, I waited for a while, after all, the start of the auction transaction also requires some preparation from the organizer's side. What's more, it's time to come down from Kangshanling today. But it's earlier than yesterday.
Communicating with the roadside vendors, such as Changhua Town, since it is famous for bloodstone, is there some famous shop in the town that deals with bloodstone?
In the final analysis, Jia Rudao came to Changhua this time, for the sake of bloodstone.
And I can come to the market trading area here, in order to feel how the wool like bloodstone is excavated, and the ultimate goal is to save and want to purchase some high-quality bloodstone back, so that the goods in my 'green, fat, red and thin' become more colorful.
This is not like yesterday, and it is enough to simply bid for one or two pieces of bloodstone wool in the market trading area. However, Jia Rudao also knew in his heart that if there was really any big bloodstone company, it would not be so easy to purchase some bloodstone back. Any industry. There are rules for this industry. Although Jia Rudao has a calm and confident attitude in the jade transaction. If you put it on the bloodstone, it is black with both hands, and it is no different from a blind man.
Even if you can contact some large companies that deal in bloodstone, can the source of goods in them really be arbitrarily selected with Jia Nidao?
Every company will have its own stable customers. A small self-employed person like Jia Yidao is nothing more than some bloodstones in terms of sales. In a larger company, it really won't be very eye-catching, not to mention, what Jia Rudao needs is also the best bloodstone.
In its own right. There is a lot of gap between bloodstone and jadeite. If the quality of bloodstone is lowered by a few grades, then, compared to the price of jadeite jewelry, the price of bloodstone is at the bottom, so it will not be too suitable to place bloodstone in the jadeite store, right?
However, what made Jia Nidao very disappointed was that in Changhua Town, there was no suitable company for himself, and there were no particularly famous shops, even if it was a shop that operated ready-made carved bloodstone, it was only a handful, and in the end, Jia Rudao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and couldn't help but put his finger and secretly pointed to the location of Miss Yang and Gui Gongzi.
The vendor who sold fruits and mineral water immediately said with some understanding: "This, you need to go to Lin'an County." They're all celebrities in the city, too. ……”
In this way, Jia Yidao and Ah San glanced at each other, and the smile on the corner of their mouths gradually spread, and in the eye contact between the two sides, they seemed to be saying: Next stop, Lin'an.
"But, Xiao Jia, do you need to hurry to Yangzhou over there?" Ah San thought more about it and said. "If you're in a hurry, it doesn't matter if you go to Lin'an or not. Anyway, when you go back, don't you have to pass through this side......"
"Hehe, it's fine. Jia Rudao knew that he had at least a week, and it had only been two days until now. I can't say, if there is really any good deal on the Lin'an side, Jia Yidao can also delay the time when he goes to Yangzhou a little.
Li Tiantian's aunt, isn't it because of something that has repeatedly postponed the time to meet?
If Jia seems to have pushed back a little bit by a day or two, there must not be any major problems, right?
However, when Jia Yidao considered this problem, it seemed natural to ignore why Li Tiantian's aunt made an appointment to meet in Yangzhou, and what the two of them were for, so they went to Yangzhou.
If it weren't for Jia Rudao begging for help, would it be necessary for them to go to Yangzhou? If it weren't for the urgency of time, would they not even go back to their home in Shanghai first, and go directly to Yangzhou?
A man in the antique shop. Especially a person with a wide range of connections, in terms of time, in the itinerary, there is always this and that accident, full of uncertainty, right? It is possible that today she is still in Beijing and some connoisseurs to discuss why the blue and white porcelain has been high in value, and tomorrow, her person is already in a small restaurant in Yangzhou, and a craftsman carving jadeite, talking about their own jadeite material, what style of work should be designed!
The fun is hard to understand if you are not a real person in the industry.
Jia Rudao and Ah San entered the auction site yesterday, and when they looked at it, it was still such a 'tattered' venue, it was still yesterday's boss, oh, it was a boss who appeared at yesterday's auction, and they still heard the boss's encouraging words. Jia Yidao frowned slightly, feeling a little funny.
Dare to love this boss, whether it was yesterday or today's opening remarks, they are almost the same.
No wonder that yesterday evening, Jia Yidao felt that he was listening, and he already had a feeling of enthusiasm in his heart, that is, Ah San on the side, and even the price that was sensationalized by this boss a few times, if it weren't for the more enthusiastic merchants, I can't say, Ah San wouldn't be empty-handed.
Even so, Jia Rudao also noticed that most of the merchants present were still in a relatively calm mood. It's like Miss Yang, she didn't show any too much expression, she looked indifferent and quiet, at that time, Jia Rudao also deliberately sighed, these businessmen who came to purchase bloodstone were really very firm in their state of mind.
I am also wondering in my heart, is it because the purchase of bloodstone, compared with the jadeite rough, is slightly lower in value, which has led to such a situation?
However, after everything came to this point, Jia Rudao understood that the businessmen who were standing in the trading venue yesterday, as if they were watching a play, and their expressions changed unchanged, are almost all old customers here. And only they, in advance, had already expected what the boss on the stage would say, right?
Just like Jia Nidao at this time, even if he looks at the many tourists around him, or the self-employed businessmen who have just come to purchase bloodstone wool, seeing their faces full of excitement, Jia Nidao will not take the initiative to explain something. It's good to think of yourself as a person who has come over, and watch their ever-changing mentality, and appreciate it.
Not to mention, Jia Rudao looked at it, but he felt a little fluttering.
"Damn, I was fooled. Ah San muttered and smiled at Jia Rudao, it was obvious that Ah San also showed this, but he didn't say anything. It seems that all those who have experienced the previous auction scene have an unprecedented tacit understanding at this moment.
This strange and quiet performance, against the backdrop of the excitement of a group of new customers, reflects a somewhat intriguing feeling.
And the antique line, why not?
Most of the time, newcomers always enter the industry with the lessons of blood, right? The ultimate beneficiaries are still those experts. And then there are those who got into the industry before them.
The previous 'appetizer' auction passed quickly, and the boss at the long table also switched one, and when the new bloodstone wool was launched for today, everyone had more time and opportunity to come forward and check it out. At this time, Jia Nidao paid extra attention to Miss Yang's actions, as Jia Nidao expected, she was still the same as yesterday, she did not blindly look for those large pieces of wool to check, but first selected some small pieces of material that are more suitable for viewing, or some small stones attached to the cart, and then went to check the wool after determining the condition of the whole batch of materials.
However, it may not be in the same area as the place where it was dug yesterday. Jia Rudao himself also felt that the bloodstone wool on this trip was not necessarily as good as yesterday's in terms of quality. Moreover, the boss did not put all the pieces of wool that he had just dug up today out for auction, but only chose three or four of them.
Moreover, the boss is not stupid, in terms of the appearance shown on the surface, there are good and bad in these three or four pieces. A little worse, the auction will be carried out first, or those wool materials such as 'plum blood', which are more stable on the surface, will be placed in the front, and the higher gambling ones will be delayed. In this way, it is easier to create the advantage of the latter, so that it is easier to sell high prices.
Jia Yidao has been waiting for an opportunity to remind that Miss Yang and return her favor. But this kind of opportunity does not mean that you will be able to wait for it. At the beginning, Jia Nidao was not in a hurry, but when it came to bidding for the last piece of bloodstone wool, Miss Yang did not pay the price once, which made Jia Nidao feel that he seemed to have waited for nearly an hour in vain, as if he was holding his breath and wanted to spit it out, but in the end he had no choice but to swallow it back.
The whole person is very depressed.
"Let's go. When the auction ended, Jia Rudao said to Ah San with a wry smile.
"Huh, aren't you following the Miss Yang in front?" Ah San was a little curious, at the time of the auction, Jia seemed to say no, and when it was over, he was ready to leave in a hurry, "If you don't take a few steps faster, you can't say it, you will waste time if you stay and wait for her like this." ”
There is a vast sea of people, although people are playing with bloodstone, Ah San doesn't think so. After leaving Changhua, Jia Nidao still has a 100% chance to meet Miss Yang again in the flow of people, of course, if Jia Nidao wants to find it in every possible way, with Jia Nidao's ability and Miss Yang's fame, it can still 'coincidence' in the crowd 'meet'.
"Don't I know it's a waste of time?" Jia said angrily. Speaking of which, Jia Rudao thinks things too simply. Because Miss Yang was on the side of the auction and gave such a favor. Jia Rudao naturally thought that returning the favor in that place was the best way.
For the time being, I didn't think about it. With Miss Yang's vision on the bloodstone, why do you need a novice like him to prompt or give in?
If there is a superb bloodstone in today's wool, Jia Rudao still has a chance. For example, when she competed with her first and raised the price to a more suitable position, she suddenly humbly withdrew, so that Miss Yang would inevitably understand his intentions.
However, the heavens are not beautiful. In today's wool, quality is not perfect. Jia Rudao can only hope that there will be such an opportunity in the future at this time.
"Let's go. Jia Rudao said, "We didn't drive here by ourselves, if we don't hurry up, maybe the car on the way back to Changhua will be gone." ”
"How is that possible. Ah San said in disbelief, "In these years, as long as you pay, I dare to call Changhua directly, and let people drive us back directly in an empty car." ……”
It's just that, that's it. Jia Rudao and Ah San are the same as that noble son, at least in the eyes of others, they are the type of 'losers'! Unless there is really an emergency, otherwise, who would seem to be so extravagant?
Although this is the case. Jia Rudao looked at Ah San with some ridicule and said, "Since Ah San you have said so, then, should you really behave like this?"
"You're not telling the truth, are you?" Ah San spread his hands and said, "Anyway, this trip, you also bought a piece of wool, didn't you?" And I'm empty-handed, so I'm just spending money, you should show it, right?"
"Otherwise, I will directly transfer the piece of bloodstone that I just shipped to Changhua to you at the price of 63,000 yuan?" Jia Rudao said with some amusement, "You see, how kind I am, I didn't make a penny." I also helped you pay for the consignment. ”
"Really?" Ah San raised his eyebrows!
"Really!" Jia Rudao quickly agreed.
"Well, forget it. Ah San retreated from his own defeat and said. "To be honest, I still don't think much of your wool. Especially when it comes to the price of more than 60,000 yuan. …… Well, by the way, if you cut it out and the wool doesn't perform well, you can't blame my crow's mouth. ”
"Come on, I knew you wouldn't say yes. Jia Rudao said indifferently, "When the time comes, I hope you don't regret it, how can I blame you,......?"
The two joked like this, and after returning to Changhua, they drove to Lin'an County. By this time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The two of them had dinner at this time, because although there was nothing to gain today, they were also tired from a day's work, Jia Rudao and Ah San were originally ready to take a good turn here in Lin'an.
Otherwise, the news about bloodstone from the mouths of the vendors will be wasted.
It's just that it is based on a unanimous decision that is common to two people and is absolutely certain. After finding a random hotel, I washed and slept. It was dawn when I woke up. Who let Jia Rudao and Ah San, although they often go back to the countryside to collect some things or something, but they rarely walk such a long mountain road?
Until the second day, after Jia Rudao and Ah San got up, they also felt a lot of soreness, almost from the root of their necks to the soles of their feet, just like doing a 'heavyweight' massage for the whole body. Even Ah San shouted when he saw Jia Yidao's words: "In the future, I will never climb the mountain again." ……”
The sourness during this period is probably enough for Ah San and Jia Nidao to have an aftertaste for a few days, right?
I drove the car and took a brief look at a few shops and companies that deal in bloodstone. In terms of reception, people are very polite. However, the bloodstone wool that was given, Jia Rudao was not very satisfied with it. Even the carvings of some finished bloodstones give people the feeling that they tend to be more mediocre. Of course, in terms of the use of bloodstone, most of the carvings are naturally seals.
You must know that Changhua Bloodstone has the reputation of 'Queen of Printing Stones'.
As early as the Qing Dynasty, where bloodstone was more famous, Kangxi. , Qianlong, Jiaqing and other emperors appreciated Changhua bloodstone very much. It is used as the seal material for the seal. It can be seen from this that bloodstone is used to carve into seals, how appropriate. It seems to be such a material as bloodstone, which was born to carve seals.
In the early 7o years of the last century, when former Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka and former Foreign Minister Masahiro Ohira came to visit our country, Premier Zhou Enlai also presented Changhua Bloodstone to the two distinguished guests as a national gift. As a result, bloodstone was also famous in Japan for a while, as if it had set off a craze for collecting bloodstone. When many Japanese tourists come to the mainland for tourism, they will choose a piece or two of the bloodstone prints and bring them back to China as a souvenir.
And the post office of the country. On a set of 'bloodstone prints' special stamps, the two treasure seals are printed.
Jia Rudao naturally has nothing to say about carving bloodstone into seals. However, even if it is a seal, it is better to make a few shapes, right? such as 'Heding Red', 'Liu Guanzhang' and the like, which are both image and rich in cultural significance. The bloodstone seen here is good, and the seal has become a seal, but it is also a little less agile and vivid,......
Sighing, Jia Rudao pulled Ah San and proposed, "Why don't you go to some small shops to have a look?"
Since you can't see a good bloodstone in the company or something, it's better to go to some small places to find it. Especially for players like Jia Yidao and Ah San, who spend all day in the antique street, some small places are like touching a dilapidated shop in the corner, and shopping for some good and favorite things to come out, that is called a fun.
Even if you haven't seen a good thing, it's not in vain to come to Lin'an, isn't it?
Immediately, the two of them inquired about where there were some ancient buildings, ancient streets, or some places that sold antiques, but they were really looking for a good place by the two, and the two sides of the street gave people the feeling that it was quite a bit of an antique street. Jia Rudao parked the car, and together with Ah San, he entered every store.
Before I got close to the store, the artistic conception created by this environment alone made the two of them feel like they were in the sea.
"I said, are we only going to be in such a small place in this life?" Seeing that Jia Yidao was also quite excited, Ah San couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "How do I feel that the two of us are a little out of place with those high-rise buildings or something?"
"Hehe, isn't that good. Jia Rudao said with a smile, "As long as we mix well here, will the high-rise buildings be far away?"
"Yes. Ah San nodded with deep feelings, "Aren't you kid currently living in a villa and opening a shop? You are a living role model standing in front of me!"
Jia Rudao suddenly shook his head with a wry smile, and ignored Ah San, and turned into a shop, which sold not all bloodstones, but some study utensils and the like, which were a little more calligraphy and painting!
