In Mr. Dong's suggestion, it was a big problem for Jia Ru.

If Jia Nidao could know that the prophet knew that Dong would have such a suggestion, Jia Nidao would never give him a chance in the process of negotiating with him. Even now, Jia Rudao still feels a little regretful in his heart. However, the words have already been spoken, and Mr. Dong's suggestion is also very 'reasonable', what else can Jia Rudao do? Naturally, according to Mr. Dong's suggestion, the carving of five pieces of jade jewelry was carried out.

In the final analysis, Jia Rudao still admires Mr. Dong very much. This kind of 'reasonableness' is not aimed at any problems for Jia Nidao, but for Jia Nidao's carving process and the effect after carving.

In Dong Zong's view, the biggest feature of Jia Rudao's carving skills, in addition to the grasp of the details, can best show the effect of this carving, is the change in the form of jadeite jewelry. And a piece of jadeite ornaments, whether it belongs to a certain classic style, does not need to be too carefully designed when carving. In this way, Jia Rudao's carving skills have been simple until now, and it is enough to complete the carving process of a jadeite jewelry. Even if it is the three in the "Zodiac" in the "Green, Fat, Red and Thin", it is such a shape.

The whole jadeite jewelry is very simple, which makes people very happy to see it, but a little can't stop, and wants to explore more about the feeling of this jadeite carving technology.

Of course, all this can only be seen in the eyes of experts like Mr. Dong. Moreover, when Mr. Dong put forward his opinion, he would not know that the carving master he admired in his mouth was sitting in front of him at the moment.

"Where do you want to start with the knife to get the materials?" Jia Rudao smiled bitterly, looking at the jade materials all over the room, and he didn't know what to do for a while, "This is a pen holder to carve a jadeite." It's a tricky task. ”

That's right, the five pieces of glass imperial green jadeite jewelry requested by Mr. Dong are a jade pen holder. As for how big the material for the engraving pen holder is, this is not something that Mr. Dong can decide, but needs to wait until Jia Yidao finds the right jade material. You know, this is the imperial green of the glass species, not the ordinary color of spinach green jade of those bean seeds.

Now Jia Rudao is looking for the right jade material.

And in the form of the pen holder, there is nothing to say, it is nothing more than a cup similar to a cup, used to hold the pen. Whether the eventual collector will end up using it for pens or not, whether it seems too luxurious, no one knows. However, since it is named 'pen holder', it is natural that it needs to have such a function. So, the hollow form, yes.

In addition, Dong Zong's requirements are also very simple, that is, on the four walls of the pen holder, the more complex the carving, the better, the best is a series of carving techniques such as hollow and relief, all of which are displayed. Only in this way can a jade pen holder have a stronger effect.

But all this is just Dong Zong's own hope. The specific implementer, Jia Rudao, is still struggling with the jade material at this time. The jade material of imperial green glass is relatively rare in itself, and it is naturally not too much in Jia Yidao's inventory. On the original Xu Zhiguo's side, the two halves cut out of the waste have been carved into jade ornaments very thoroughly. Among them, there are jade Guanyin jade pendants that are 'far away' to the northeast, and there are also some other small pieces, which are being placed in the 'green, fat, red and thin' at this time.

And the third floor of Jia Nidao, the jade material all over the ground, can meet the requirements, Jia Nidao looks at it, and it is just the giant glass imperial green jade rough. Do you have to cut out a part of this? Jia Rudao quickly gave up on such an idea. Instead, he began to search for the uncut rough stone.

Simply, there is still nearly a month to delay in time, and Jia Rudao is not in a hurry. If there is really no way, in the end, it can't be said, and it can only be the idea of moving the rough stone of the giant jadeite.

……

And just when Jia Nidao was hesitating, whether to cut all the glass kinds of jade rough with the texture of all glass species, all of them, Li Tiantian's aunt's side finally had a definite news, which was conveyed through Li Tiantian, and the other party was just free a few days after the National Day, ready to meet Jia Nidao.

As for whether Li Tiantian's 'little friend' expressed on the phone that she wanted to see Jia Nidao as soon as possible, and criticized Jia Nidao, it was not something that Jia Nidao could take into account, and she could only complain for a while.

In Jia Yidao's words, people are still a 'little girl' after all, aren't they?

Jia Rudao responded with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Thinking of Li Tiantian on the other end of the phone, she looked very annoyed, and it was also a kind of fun. However, the place where I was going to meet Aunt Li Tiantian was not in Shanghai, but in Yangzhou. I'm afraid this is the reason why Li Tiantian complains too much, right? And in terms of time, it will take a week! This makes Jia Yidao have to sigh, are all 'talented' people so busy?

Thinking that there is still a week to go, Jia Rudao is on the Linhai side, and the rest of the work is nothing more than carving, or just going around on the 'green, fat, red and thin' side. After no longer the pressure of participating in the provincial jewelry exhibition, Jia Rudao even reduced a lot of leaks in carving the 'zodiac'.

However, at the thought of going to Yangzhou, Jia Rudao's mood was slightly excited. Yangzhou, that's really a good place. Not only because there are many beautiful women, or the wind and moon in the land of Qinhuai, but because of the carving workers in Yangzhou, which are very famous in the whole country. Last time, Xu Zhiguo went to Yangzhou, and brought back three jade carving masters, Jia Rudao went over in person this time, and naturally he was not ready to return empty-handed.

The three pieces of broken porcelain were packed at one time and consigned to Yangzhou, and the person who signed for it naturally filled in Jia Rudao's own name. And Jia Rudao went to the unit where he originally rented and talked to Sister Chen.

Since moving out of the original place, Jia Rudao has rarely been back.

Yu seems to have deliberately chosen a noon time, Jia Yidao knows that in this kind of time, Sister Chen will cook in the rented house. Then, she sent it to the small commodity market and ate it with her husband.

Sure enough, just when Jia Rudao knocked on the door, Sister Chen's voice came from inside. When I opened the door and saw that it was Jia Nidao, Sister Chen's face first showed a look of surprise, and then she let Jia Nidao in with a smile, and asked softly in her mouth: "Xiao Jia, how is your life good lately? By the way, you quit your job last time, and now you have a better job, right?"

Immediately, it seemed that he noticed Jia Yidao's dress, which was a little different from before. It's more decent, the smile on Sister Chen's face became richer for a while. This kind of heartfelt concern, as if a faint spring breeze is blowing, can be contagious, making Jia Yidao feel that his heart is also warm.

The dishes for lunch are as simple as ever, two dishes, one soup, and all vegetables, even if she sees Jia Nidao's arrival, Sister Chen has no intention of hiding it, so she directly invites Jia Nidao to sit down and eat together. The only difference is that when stir-frying two dishes, the amount of the dish is a little heavier.

Jia Rudao looked at the shredded pork and fried green vegetables, one mixed with cucumbers, and sighed in his heart, while feeling very cordial, he also admired Sister Chen's virtue and thrift. Perhaps, when I was studying, my mother and father at home were also so frugal. didn't care that the food was not rich enough, Jia Rudao ate it very deliciously.

Fortunately, although Jia Nidao's recent life has changed dramatically, he is not too particular about what he eats, not to mention that the meals made by Sister Chen are also very familiar to Jia Nidao, and there is a trace of home-cooked warmth. However, in Sister Chen's eyes, Jia Nidao's actions have not changed much from the previous Xiao Jia, at least, when facing her, there is no change!

"Is there something wrong with coming here this time?" After the meal, Sister Chen cleaned up briefly and quickly, and then asked Jia Yidao, "You don't look like you're in any trouble." ……”

"Can't I just think of you, Sister Chen, so I came here to take a look?" Jia Rudao was a little speechless.

"Hehe, if you have this heart, I am naturally happy. Sister Chen smiled and said, "But." Xiao Jia, I don't know your temperament yet? If you want to be an old lady, you won't come to see it for so long, and here you are, and you are deliberately in time for lunch to eat. Shouldn't you have even lost the money for dinner, so you came here to eat on purpose?"

Jia seemed to be happy, and followed Sister Chen's meaning, and said, "You really guessed correctly, I just came to eat." ”

"Hehe, then I'm very welcome. Sister Chen is also happy, "I'm afraid that some people won't be used to the food I cook." ”

"How come?" Jia Rudao hurriedly explained, "Sister Chen, you are from Changhua, right? I am going to go there recently, if you have something to send home, I, as a younger brother, can help you transfer it, and you can meet those two nieces and nephews casually." ”

"Really?" Sister Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What are you doing over there,......?"

"Hehe, Sister Chen, I haven't told you yet, I recently opened a jade shop in Antique Street. Jia Rudao said, "When I go to Changhua at this time, I naturally want to enrich the products in my store and buy some bloodstone." You know, jadeite and bloodstone are the most valuable of the stones, and they are not unprofessional, right?"

Sister Chen heard this. Looking at Jia Yidao's expression, he was a little weird, and said teasingly: "I really haven't seen it, I haven't seen it for a few months, Xiao Jia is actually the boss." I'll have to check out your shop when I'm free. You say, you sell jadeite?" Seeing Jia Yidao nodding, Sister Chen asked with some curiosity, "That thing, it's expensive, right?" ……”

The earnest instructions made Jia Rudao feel that Sister Chen's concern was a little bit more about her mother. At the end, Sister Chen asked, "How is the business of the store?"

"It's okay. Jia Rudao said, "This thing of jade is not quite the same as the shoes, clothes and the like you sell Sister Chen." You need to make a profit by numbers. In terms of jadeite, the profit of a single product is relatively large. ”

"That's right. "Sister Chen is also from Changhua, she doesn't know the doorway of the jade industry, but she still has a certain understanding of bloodstone and the like. "When are you going to Changhua?"

"Just tomorrow. Maybe it will pass in the afternoon. Jia Rudao said, "It depends." ”

"Yes. Then you wait a minute. Since Jia Nidao can come to visit him at this time, she must not mind that Sister Chen really consigns some things back to her hometown, and immediately, she took out a box of things from the room, specifically, what is in it Jia Nidao didn't ask, but, seeing that Sister Chen felt very heavy, this small cardboard box used to hold fruits, there should be a lot of stuff, right?

"It's just a few clothes, and something to eat," Sister Chen looked at Jia Yidao and explained, "The weather is about to get colder, so I prepared a few clothes for the two of them." You also know that children always grow up fast. A while ago, my mother called me and told me that my boy has grown a lot taller, and his clothes last year were a little smaller. ”

"Kids. Jia seemed to respond to a sentence, looking at the joy and longing on Sister Chen's face when she talked about the child, the more she felt in her heart that an ordinary mother was great. Originally, I was going to go out this time, and I could simply say hello to my mother, but at this time, I felt a little reluctant in my heart.

After saying goodbye to Sister Chen, Jia Rudao quickly returned to the store, just accompanied his mother, sitting on the edge of the cash register, chatting or something. During this period, it also caused a few rolls of Xiaoqian's eyes, as if she had never seen a boss who liked to talk to her mother so much, and in that look, it seemed that she was still talking: Is it that the boss is so idle all day long?

It's no wonder that everyone likes to be their own boss.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Jia Rudao made an appointment with Ah San, drove the car, and went to Changhua.

Originally, Jia Rudao's plan was to talk to Uncle Zhou Fugui to see if he could go together. After all, for Bloodstone, Jia Rudao was just a momentary heartbeat, and he felt that since he was going to Yangzhou, he had a few days to be free in the middle, so he simply went to Changhua to take a look at the local area. As for whether he can find a good bloodstone, or if he finds nothing, Jia Yidao is already mentally prepared in two aspects.

However, when he was leaving, Jia Rudao felt that his psychology was not scored. After all, for a field that I am not familiar with, that kind of unknown confusion is always a little looming.

In the time of the previous night. Jia Rudao went to the 'Zhou Ji' side, and gave Uncle Zhou Fugui a good 'study' of the bloodstones. even pulled Uncle Zhou Fugui away and asked a lot of questions. If it weren't for Uncle Zhou's troubles and he couldn't leave, he would have been really moved by Jia Nidao's positive attitude and accompanied Jia Nidao to Changhua.

From Linhai to Changhua, the journey is not very far, only a few hours by car.

It's just that what makes Jia Yidao and Ah San more depressed is that the weather outside the car window along the way, in the early October season, actually has a faint feeling of misty, just like the mood of the two people in the car at the moment, very depressed, almost a little breathless.

Maybe it's a time to come here, Jia Rudao also has the task of transferring things to Sister Chen. The first to arrive was naturally Changhua Town. The place is not big, although there is a clear address given by Sister Chen, but I still asked for a while before I found Sister Chen's home. Jia Rudao ignored that he had always had a better relationship with Sister Chen, and Sister Chen's husband was more ordinary. Therefore, when asking for directions, most of them say Sister Chen's name, but in the town, or in some rural areas, the name of the inquiry is always not easy to remember. On the contrary, he was talking about the name of Sister Chen's husband, and he said that he was doing business on the side of the sea, but there were many people who knew him.

And what made Jia Nidao continue to be a little disappointed was that because it was not the weekend time, since Sister Chen's son and daughter were not at home, both of them lived in the school, which made Jia Nidao's desire to hear someone shout 'uncle', which was completely frustrated. Leaving something for Sister Chen's mother, the old man was very enthusiastic, so he had to stay here to eat.

Jia Rudao shirked that he still had something to do, and left quickly. Asked an old man about seventy years old to cook for himself and Ah San, Jia seemed to be unable to pull that face.

I found a restaurant at random, and after a simple lunch in the town, Jia Nidao's face continued to be depressed.

It's not that the food here is not delicious and doesn't suit the appetites of the two, but the final destination of Jia Rudao and Ah San this time is not in Changhua Town, but in Yuyan Mountain, about 5o kilometers west of the town.
