Chapter 257: Craft Work

After careful inquiry, I found out that Ah San wanted to help his girlfriend's friend find a suitable job, no, Jia Rudao was going to open a jade shop on this side of the antique street. If you let that woman come to be a cashier or something, I'm afraid that she will be a little worried because the amount of money in and out is too large, but if you only be a salesperson, it will be harmless!

Jia Rudao naturally nodded in agreement.

Since Ah San can bring it up, although Jia Rudao has not seen the appearance of the woman, and does not look at Ah San's face, even if it is for the face of Ah San's girlfriend, he should agree without hesitation, right? Jia Rudao couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Ah San, you are better than saying, what I said is too real." ”

"Why?" Ah San was curious, "Could it be that with our relationship, my face is not as good as my girlfriend's?"

"It's hard to say. Jia Rudao pretended to sigh and said, "Speaking of which, I'm really unladylike." Up to now, you've helped your girlfriend's friends arrange work, but I, the person who helped with the work, have never met your girlfriend. ”

Yixi's words, although a little awkward, also made Ah San a little embarrassed.

"Well, since you've said so, I'll take you to her sometime. Let her know what kind of person you are. I told you, the greeting gift can't be too shabby. Ah San said, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at Jia Yidao's eyes, it also became a little ambiguous, as if that meaning, as long as a man can understand, said, "However, don't say that my friend is unqualified, the reason why I want to let you help others implement the work is not for your sake." ”

"What do you mean?" Jia Rudao asked a little hindsightly.

"That's a woman, but my girlfriend's best friend. Ah San said this, and even his voice was much quieter, "It is said that things gather by like, and people are grouped, what do you think from my point of view, if you find a girlfriend, what will happen to your appearance?"

When Jia Rudao heard this, Ji Yanran's outstanding graceful figure subconsciously appeared in his mind. It seems that after coming back from Jieyang, Jia Rudao has never seen her again, and she has not appeared again on the side of "Zhou Ji", Jia Rudao pondered, maybe Ji Yanran is also cutting stones and contacting buyers, right?

"What's wrong with you, what are you thinking!" Ah San pushed Jia Xiang angrily.

"Oh, that, where did you go?" Jia Rudao came back to his senses and blurted out. After provoking Ah San's big eyes, Jia Rudao smiled wryly, thought about it for a while, and said, "By the way, you just talked about your girlfriend's appearance, right? ”

"You...... Count you ruthless......" Ah San pointed at Jia Rudao with his finger, and said angrily, "Yes, that saleswoman, you don't have to bother arranging it, I'll find someone else to help me go by myself." You're really kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs. ”

"Don't mind. This time, it was Jia Yidao's turn, comforted Ah San, and said, "Just now, I was just joking." Speaking of which, you were ready to chase a woman like Ji Yanran last time, can I still not trust your vision. ”

"That's right, you have a bit of a conscience. Ah San responded, "However, I heard that Yanran also went to Jieyang and gambled back a lot of jade roughs, you should have met her too, right?"

"Well, there are indeed a lot of jadeite rough stones she gambled on, and we also participated in the jadeite public market together. Jia Rudao nodded and said, "I just don't know what kind of color the jadeite rough stones she gambled on were cut out." ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Ah San said, "With your little vision, you can gamble a lot, and I am even more confident in Yanran's vision of gambling stones." …… Uh, joke, joke. Seeing Jia Rudao's playful eyes, Ah San immediately changed the topic and said, "But, seriously, I really haven't seen Ji Yanran much recently." She seems to be in contact with some people from the jewelry association, probably discussing what kind of event she will do. ”

"Treasure Appreciation Conference?" Jia seemed to ask involuntarily. This matter, in the past few days, has been pressing on Jia Nidao's heart. If Jia Rudao doesn't want to go over there to have a long experience, it is absolutely false. As soon as he heard Ah San say that Ji Yanran was preparing for something, he immediately thought of this.

As a result, Ah San replied with certainty: "No." ”

Suddenly, Jia Yidao was a little disappointed.

Seeing Jia Yidao's incomprehension and frustration, Ah San shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "The treasure appreciation conference, it is in the province, even if Ji Yanran will participate, it is not her turn to organize." I guess it's some kind of activity in the city, but I'm not very interested in this. Instead of sharpening your head to participate in those events and the like, in order to become famous, it is better to go to the antique street here every week and find something to come out, and come to relax. ”

"Then you didn't think about making your collection bigger?" Jia Rudao pressed down his thoughts, and turned to joke about Ah San.

"Do you think you can play bigger if you want to play bigger?" Ah San smiled bitterly, and then, he didn't pay attention to Jia Yidao's jokes. For people like Ah San, it seems that he doesn't care how famous he is, and he pays more attention to his eyesight and the collection he has, right? When he parted, he also deliberately explained, for example, when Jia Yidao's store opened, he would definitely come to cheer for that kind of event. In addition, before the opening, he can help with those business documents and the like, and he only needs Jia Yidao to provide his name and information.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ah San also stated that his girlfriend's friend is a beautiful woman, and he deliberately leaned into Jia Yidao's ear and said: "People are single, Xiao Jia, you have to seize the opportunity." ”

Even Jia Yidao was suspicious and curious about Ah San's motives, but Ah San swore and patted his chest and said: "Bet on my girlfriend's name, that woman is definitely a beauty." Moreover, I am still single. ”

Jia Rudao could only silently put that trace of doubt in his heart.

……

On the second day, Jia Rudao found the pony who set up a stall in the antique street and wanted to ask what Ma Ye's hobbies were. Of course, Jia Rudao knows that although Xiaoma and "Ma Ye" are both surnamed Ma, the fact is that the two of them have no intersection except for the antique. It's just that compared to Jia Rudao, Xiaoma, a hawker who sets up a stall in the antique street, should be able to understand some of Ma Ye's deeds and hobbies better, right?

Even Jia Yidao knows very well that Ma Ye is a big expert in playing antiques, but the words "antiques" can cover too much. The only two sides that Jia Nidao and Ma Ye have ever met, once was on the side of "Zhou Ji", Ma Ye wanted to go to Uncle Zhou to find something, at that time, Jia Nidao was still a pure newcomer. For Ma Ye, it was just a quick glimpse. Another time, it was on the antique street.

Jia Rudao doesn't know what kind of hobbies this horse master has.

It's just that Xiaoma spread his hands and said that he had only heard of Ma Ye's reputation, and he could talk about any kind of antique. But the specifics, he doesn't know very well. However, it is definitely not the jade that Jia Rudao is doing, that is right.

For this reason, Jia Rudao can only admit it, and he can be regarded as a trip for nothing.

"By the way, Xiao Jia, I heard that Ah San has been tinkering with the antique shop over there recently, the same one I told you about last time, do you know some news?"

"Oh?" Jia Rudao's heart moved, and he said, "You've heard about this too?"

"That's it. The pony said with a smile, "This antique street near the sea is so big." Those who play antiques are those people. As long as it's a little bit of a flurry, everyone can still know a little bit about it. ”

"That's right. Jia Rudao nodded. Regardless of the pony, whether all the news they heard was correct, as the so-called no wind and no waves, many times, the conversation between the vendors could better reflect the current situation on the side of the antique street, Jia Rudao pondered a little, and said very bluntly, "Actually, Ah San is mainly to help me to buy that shop." ”

Because Jia Rudao has now taken over the store, there is nothing to hide at this time. Perhaps, Jia Rudao opened a shop on this side of the antique street, and he still needs someone like Xiaoma. At the very least, some gossip is known.

"You?" Xiao Ma was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "I said Xiao Jia, you shouldn't be fooling me, right? With your ability, not Xiao Ge, I said, if you want to play an antique shop, it's still a bit difficult." This palm-eyed person, this purchase channel and so on, have you contacted it?"

"Hehe, this one, I'm not selling antiques. Jia Rudao smiled and said, "If you talk about playing porcelain, calligraphy and painting." I don't need you to say it, I know that with my eyesight, I guess if I don't find a master to check it, I won't be able to play at all. ”

"Then what are you doing in the shop?" Xiao Ma heard this, his eyes rolled, and he understood, "You shouldn't be going to sell jadeite jewelry, right? It seems that you should have gambled a lot of good jadeite materials in the past few trips." ”

As she spoke, the pony nodded and sighed.

Speaking of which, when the pony saw Jia Nidao at a glance, at that time, Jia Nidao was still an out-and-out layman, who knows, after a few months, Jia Nidao will have the ability to open a shop in the antique street, and he Xiaoma is still living in the stall.

The gap between these people and people sometimes really can't be directly compared. Otherwise, the pony probably even has the heart to die.

"By the way, Xiao Jia, in your shop, besides jade jewelry, are you going to play with anything else?" Pony's heart moved, and asked tentatively, "It's like nephrite, strange stones, or something." Or, porcelain, copper coins, inkstones, etc. ”

"This, for the time being, I don't have any way. Moreover, if things are widely operated, especially nephrite and the like, it is estimated that it will be a bit of a confrontation with 'Zhou Ji'. Although I have a good relationship with Uncle Zhou, I'm embarrassed to rob other people's business!" Jia Rudao said lightly, "However, I personally prefer to pick up a little other stuff." ”

"Well, that's fine. The pony slapped Jia Yidao on the shoulder and said, "I know a few brokers here, and if I have the chance, I can collect some good things." When the time comes, if your store is opened, I will be able to have one more way to sell, right?"

"Hehe, that's natural. Jia Rudao nodded and said, and he also understood in his heart, daring to feel that the pony had such a question just now, in order to find a new way for his own things. After all, a hawker like him, although not to mention the things on the stalls, are all things that are open to the public, but sometimes, he can really find a lot of good things.

Instead of selling things to others at the stall, it is better to find a suitable way to give things to powerful experts, not to mention that they can be sold at a high price, and they can also build a good relationship.

Why not?

After separating from the pony, Jia Rudao took a taxi to Zhou Fugui's factory with a hopeful mentality!

This can be regarded as the last way for Jia Yidao to understand Ma Ye's interests and hobbies. After all, there have been transactions between Uncle Zhou and Ma Ye, and they should be able to know some specific situations! Many times, when it is time to use it, Jia Rudao feels that his relationship network is too narrow. Fortunately, Jia Rudao has only been in the industry for three or two months, and the days ahead are still long.

If you want it, you can't reach it.

Especially in the face of some older antique connoisseurs, if you don't follow their preferences, it is really difficult to break into their social circle.

Sitting in the taxi, Jia Rudao's mind suddenly appeared that on an early morning antique street, Jia Nidao was wearing a navy blue robe, carrying a birdcage in his left hand, in which two thrushes were jumping, and then, Jia Rudao was pacing slowly, humming a few Yue Opera tunes in his mouth, and occasionally shaking his head a few times. The other hand, from time to time, can make a few gestures similar to the fingers of an orchid, pointing at the thrush inside the birdcage.

For a while, the look on Jia Rudao's face was a little weird.

Will that scene still be yourself?

On the side of the factory, Uncle Zhou himself was not there, and after asking the workers on the side, he learned that Uncle Zhou had something to do when he went out temporarily, and he should be able to come back after some time, and Jia Rudao didn't care.

On the contrary, Xu Zhiguo, who came from Jieyang, arrived at Linhai a few days ago. Jia Rudao didn't have anything to say, so he directly let him work in Uncle Zhou's factory first. And with him arrived, there was also a full set of stone-cutting and carving tools prepared by Liu Yufei!

Jia Rudao also got all of it to Uncle Zhou's factory.

At this moment, when Jia Rudao entered the factory, he saw that Xu Zhiguo was seriously unraveling a piece of jadeite rough stone, or the one cut out by Uncle Zhou.

Seeing Jia Nidao coming in, a smile appeared on Xu Zhiguo's face, and he said to Jia Rudao: "Boss, this piece of jade material, I'm thinking about it, or cut it and get a few pairs of bracelets out first, what do you think?"

"Oh, what do you say?" Jia Rudao remembered that when Uncle Zhou first cut out such a piece of material, he was still planning whether to carve it into a large jade ornament.

"Isn't this just about to open a jadeite shop, if there are no these common jadeite styles to fill the scene. Even if you have a large carving, it won't help. "Xu Zhiguo's age is only one year older than Jia Nidao, and judging from the carving of his previous jade ornaments, he knows that he is a very character and assertive carver. In terms of being a person, it is also relatively self-familiar.

No, when Xu Zhiguo arrived one day, as soon as they met at the beginning of the year, they naturally called Jia Rudao "boss", and Jia Rudao couldn't shirk it, so he could only let him go. However, Jia seemed to say that he didn't particularly care about the age of the two, and called him "Xiao Xu", and also explained to him some of the current situation he was facing, so that he could hurry up and carve more jade jewelry before the store opened.

Xu Zhiguo naturally agreed.

And so far, Xu Zhiguo has not found a suitable house to live in. It's not that there are few houses near the sea, but Xu Zhiguo doesn't have time to look for them at all. It's just that in the factory here, I eat and drink with some of the workers and masters under Uncle Zhou. Just for this point, it is enough to explain Xu Zhiguo's character.

In this regard, Jia Yidao is also very optimistic. Originally, I was thinking that I should come forward and ask Lao Yang to help find a house. It's just that the storage room has not been implemented, if the house you are looking for is far away, it is not very convenient, Jia Rudao can only put this matter aside temporarily.

Of course, the workers in Uncle Zhou's factory are almost the same as Xu Zhiguo, all of them are people with good carving skills, and if you really want to talk about it, the carving of strange stones and jadeite also has a lot of touches.

Xu Zhiguo is staying here, and he also feels like a fish in water.
