Holding back the doubts and surprises in his heart, Jia Rudao took a deep breath, turned to Old Man Li, and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Li, have you also gambled on jade rough before?"

"Oh, Xiao Jia, how can you have this idea?" Old Man Li was slightly stunned, and then, after making tea smoothly, he gently pushed it on the table with his hand, handed over a cup, and said, "Come, taste this Biluo Spring ......" As he spoke, he pushed a cup for Liu Yufei and Master Li, and then picked up the cup that belonged to him with his hand, put it in front of his mouth, blew it gently with his mouth, and took a sip.

That familiar action, after Mr. Li did it, always gave people a feeling of lightness!

Jia Rudao naturally followed Old Man Li's movements and took a sip, feeling it carefully, but it was quite fragrant and pleasant! However, at the same time, he was also doubly hesitant about the doubts in his heart just now. Especially after Old Man Li heard this, he was slightly stunned at that moment, as if he was a little reluctant to mention the past!

Could it be that when you gamble on stones, the gamble collapsed?

Jia Rudao subconsciously took another sip of the fragrance in the cup!

Speaking of which, most people who are outstanding in jadeite carving skills will generally master some basic skills in checking the jadeite rough! As for whether they participate in the gambling stone themselves, it is two words! Xu is aware of Jia Nidao's doubts, and Liu Yufei on the side is a little sneering and throws Jia Nidao an angry look.

In this way, Jia Rudao understands that his feelings have really become a reality!

If it weren't for the amazing appearance just now, perhaps, after Liu Yufei's reminder, Jia Nidao would naturally have revealed it and never mentioned this matter again, or he wouldn't have talked about whether Old Man Li had gambled on stones before, but the situation at this time made Jia Nidao glance at the stone table intentionally or unintentionally, and then, facing Old Man Li, he said with a smile: "Actually, I also guessed unintentionally." First, Grandpa Li, you are a master of jadeite carving, so you are naturally more familiar with jadeite wool; I'm afraid that its original appearance should also be a piece of jade rough, right?"

"It seems that this table is really the one who caused it. Old Man Li looked indifferent, put down the tea in his hand, reached out and touched the table top of the stone table, and sighed: "Speaking of which, when I was young, I really gambled on jade wool! Even with me, the teacher's parents were also awkward with me for three days at that time. ……”

"Grandpa, why are you talking about this again,......" Master Li on the side muttered, first glanced at Jia Yidao angrily, and then wanted to tear the topic away. The look on Jia Rudao's face was quite embarrassed.

On the contrary, it was Old Man Li himself, "hehe" smiled, brushed his hand at Master Li, and said, "It's okay." It's been so many years, can't I stand such a little setback? No matter how bad it is, don't I still have you, a little girl, by my grandfather's side? ”

In this regard, Master Li also sat back on the rattan chair a little stupidly, and did not speak again. And looking at Jia Yidao's eyes, naturally there is still no good color, but he is looking at Old Man Li, showing a trace of concern from time to time!

What a woman with a blue heart!

Jia Rudao secretly praised it, although he didn't know what kind of dispute there was between Master Li's parents and Old Man Li, he was already sighing at Liu Yufei's good fortune!

The eyes of the two of them intersecting in private can also see Jia Yidao's envy and pride, and Liu Yufei's indifference and helplessness!

"Let's just talk about the table in front of me, it was more than ten years ago, the last time I made a move, the evidence of the collapse of the gambling stone, it can be regarded as a souvenir. Old Man Li naturally didn't care about the actions of Liu Yufei and Jia Yidao, and then said, "It cost me 50,000 yuan at that time...... Don't underestimate the 50,000 yuan, according to the current market, it is equivalent to about seven or eight hundred thousand, and as a result, it collapsed. ”

"If you look closely, this is really a good jadeite rough. Liu Yufei was on the side, gently touched the table with his hand, and echoed.

"That's!" Xu said that the old man Li had shot the last jade rough, but the old man regained a little spirit and said, "Look at it, this is a typical old pit material at the entrance of the Bakant Field, black black gauze leather, delicate leather, and there are some obvious ribbons on it. At that time, this was the most popular jadeite wool, let alone now. In the current market situation, the black Wusha jadeite rough at the entrance of the Hpakant field is at least performing slightly better, and everyone is rushing to ask for it. Otherwise, do you think that the old man and I can pick this jade rough as my last bet?"

"No matter how good the performance is, it's still broken. Master Li was on the side, and said helplessly!

"Master, ——" Liu Yufei couldn't help but shout in a slightly heavier tone when he heard this!

"Hehe, the little girl is right, this gambling stone, even if the performance of the original stone skin is good, how exciting it is, it can't be counted. Only those who have experienced strong winds and waves, the smile that naturally flows from the corners of their mouths and foreheads will have the same taste as Old Man Li is now!

Jia Rudao pondered in his heart, no wonder when a few people talked at the beginning, Mr. Li persuaded the two of them a few words, so that both he and Liu Yufei would shift the focus of their jade business from gambling stones to carving and sales of finished products!

If there is no bloody lesson, and only the huge profits on the surface of the gambling stone, who will keep such a sober eye?

Even if a person with a family background like Liu Yufei was in Yunnan, when he received Ji Yanran's piece of jadeite rough, didn't he also gamble 8 million at one time, and only recovered less than one million funds? If there is no support from 'Liu Ji', I'm afraid that Liu Yufei, a person in the industry, will not appear in the jade market again, right?

Not to mention some novices who have just entered the gambling stone industry.

"At that time, there was a saying in the industry that 'I would rather buy a line than bet on a piece of green', and I was obviously a green belt of a line that I bet on, but after cutting the stone, the green part I saw was completely disappeared after only one centimeter into it, leaving only a miserable piece of white, which is commonly known as 'white devil'. I was so angry at the time, and at that moment I cut two knives vertically, one stone and three points, and it was still icy and snowy. Suddenly, I was stunned, you know, at that time, the 50,000 yuan of gambling stones was almost my net worth, I was almost crazy, it was the little girl's mother, who desperately stopped me and continued to cut stones. So, this piece of miserable white wool was left as a table top in the yard. Since then, although I have been tempted to gamble again several times, my heart has calmed down a lot when I see this table every day, but my carving skills have become more and more exquisite. ......" In the end, Old Man Li also let out a long sigh!

Even the three young people who heard about it on the side were embarrassed!

And after Old Man Li finished speaking, looking at the performance of the three young people, he couldn't help but shake his head, smiled happily, and said, "You guys, it's still good to be young......"

Just when Jia Rudao was a little surprised, Old Man Li had already finished drinking the first tea, and instead, he refilled a cup for himself, and said: "However, being young has the advantage of being young, and we old men also have our own preferences! It's also very leisurely to fiddle with carvings and occasionally plant some flowers and plants. Especially for the elderly, I still prefer to make a glass of Biluochun and put a radio on the side than the excitement of gambling on stones,......"

"Grandpa, no wonder you sit in this courtyard every day, for a long time. Master Li said on the side.

"yes, my preference is to be quiet. Old Man Li nodded, blew the fragrant tea, took another sip, slowly reminisced, and then said, "Taste carefully, in fact, this Biluochun and opera, there are still some similarities, the general fragrance is pleasant, the general sweetness is like wine, the general taste is slow, but there are countless tastes and enjoyment; It is said that it is very appropriate to use Biluochun to describe the elegance of Cantonese opera singing, on the contrary, it is not possible to use the tune to compare the fragrance and fragrance of Biluochun. Every time I taste it, I can smash it to create some new feelings, which is already a great joy in life. ”

It seems that when it comes to pride, the annoyance about gambling stones just now has disappeared!

As Mr. Li said, the so-called true feelings, even for tea, even for opera, as long as you experience it with your heart, how can it not be a kind of understanding?

For a while, Jia Rudao and Liu Yufei also learned from Old Man Li's style and tasted it again!

After tasting carefully, although the taste at the corners of the mouth is still the same as before, the thoughts in my heart and the thoughts that have been bypassed have been fascinated for a long time!

……

The four of them were silent for a while, Jia Rudao put down the teacup in his hand, put his fingers on the table of the stone table, and gently and rhythmically tapped, after thinking about it for a while, he had some calculations in his heart, and his brows gradually stretched out like thoughts, and he asked softly: "Old man Li, there is a sentence, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

"Oh, Xiao Jia, just say anything directly. Old Man Li replied lightly, "As for the jadeite ornaments you want to carve, you still need to wait until you bring the jadeite materials to discuss." Although the conversation between the two at this time, the emotions and so on, all seem good, and there is Liu Yufei on the side to help the village, but Jia Yidao also knows that with the age and craftsmanship of Old Man Li, it is really impossible to persuade him to go to Linhai!

Not to mention that the two places are far apart, it is not easy to get Mr. Li to leave the old house that he is used to living in!

Of course, if Jia Nidao is willing to send the jade material here, Jia Nidao pondered, Old Man Li can still help carve it! It's just that in this way, if it is to carve those peerless treasures, Jia Nidao doesn't think it's a waste of time, but if it's just an ordinary ornament, or something like a jade bracelet, it's not very convenient after all!

For this reason, Jia Rudao can only go to Liu Yufei, and seconded a master with acceptable skills to go to Linhai together. Not to mention that Jia Yidao can also steal some skills for this, that is, carving some simple jewelry, and directly taking them out for sale, giving them away, etc., I'm afraid it's a good choice, right?

Thinking of this, Jia Rudao was calm in his heart and said: "Grandpa Li, I want to ask you to help carve the jade ornaments, so naturally I need to wait until I return to Linhai and bring back the jade materials." Moreover, because for the time being, I didn't think about carving something, materials or anything, and I didn't prepare properly, and although I didn't know how to carve, I also knew that a good work would take a lot of time and effort when designing, so I wasn't in a hurry at this point!"

"That's good. Old man Li, but Liu Yufei on the side praised it.

Speaking of which, he didn't want Jia Yidao to trouble Mr. Li immediately after being introduced by Mr. Liu, so that he could start work non-stop!

Jia Rudao's words naturally won the approval of Old Man Li, and he immediately smiled and asked: "Since, Xiao Jia, you are also an understanding person, then what you want to say, is it some other thing? Speaking of which, my old man is not commendable except for his skills, and there is nothing else commendable." ”

"Grandpa Li, what you said is modest. Jia Rudao said respectfully, "Don't say anything else, let's just talk about this tea-making skill, which is also the envy of our juniors." …… Of course, I didn't come to learn how to make tea. I want to ask, do you still have any plans to make a move on this stone table?"

"This stone table?" Old Man Li was a little stunned! Not only Old Man Li, but also Liu Yufei was surprised!

"I said Xiao Jia, are you really going to continue gambling on stones, right?" Liu Yufei asked cautiously, it seemed that Jia Yidao wanted to collect such a stone table, so he naturally had the intention of being vigilant and keeping it as a souvenir. In addition, it is difficult for Liu Yufei to imagine that Jia Yidao has any other purpose.

Could it be that he wants to use this to curry favor with Old Man Li? But he shouldn't be a person like Jia!

Liu Yufei frowned while asking, feeling a little puzzling!

"yes, it's just this stone table. Jia Rudao didn't care, and said with a smile, "Specifically, it's actually half of the desktop on it!"

"No, isn't it, Xiao Jia, are you going to bet on this table?" Master Li looked at Jia Yidao's indifferent expression, and couldn't help but guess and say. After finishing speaking, it was herself, and the look of surprise on her face not only did not fade in the slightest, but on the contrary, it became even richer!

"Hehe, interesting, interesting!" Old Man Li said, "For so many years, you are still the first person who wants to bet on this table, so I will give you this table as a souvenir." By the way, Xiao Jia, how much are you going to pay?"

"This, Brother Liu, in your opinion, according to the price on the market, how much do you think it can be worth in terms of the performance of this desktop?" Jia Yidao asked Liu Yufei instead.

"It's probably a few thousand dollars. Liu Yufei carefully groped for a while on the table with his hand before hesitantly replying!

After all, just such a table, although it itself is indeed jade wool, that's right, but it was also cut by Old Man Li, or the kind that was left, not to mention anything else for the time being, just by virtue of being placed here for more than ten years, no one can look at it, and the performance of the place where it can be seen on the surface is definitely not outstanding.

If Liu Yufei is allowed to judge, it can only be said that the gambling nature of this piece of jade material is really not high!

As for the valuation of these thousands of yuan, Liu Yufei considered it as high as possible.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Old Man Li was slightly surprised and said, "How many thousand yuan?" I said, if you really take it out and sell it, a thousand yuan will be the sky." Although I don't know much about the latest market conditions of jadeite materials, I still have this self-knowledge. ”

After that, Old Man Li also preached to Liu Yufei: "Xiaofei, although this thing is mine from the old man, if you want to take care of my old man's face, that's right." However, in the future, when doing business, it is still necessary to evaluate it based on the real situation. There are no outsiders now, and it's hard for everyone to say anything, if it spreads, it will ruin its reputation. ”

Liu Yufei naturally responded to Nuo Nuo: "Yes!"

However, after hearing this, Jia Yidao smiled and said, "Grandpa Li, in fact, the thousands of yuan that Brother Liu said is still lower. According to my estimates, I am thinking, this desktop may not be thousands of dollars, but hundreds of thousands, or even millions!"
