It wasn't until one o'clock in the afternoon that the hungry began to "coo", Zhuang Rui got up from the bed, and when he went out, he saw the white lion lying pitifully by the door, presumably hungry, Zhuang Rui patted his head, he was really incompetent as the master. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, there were meat and bones bought by Zhuang Min in the refrigerator, Zhuang Rui scooped up some rice, stewed it with the bones in a pressure cooker, and after ten minutes or so, he made a pot of meat porridge, which was considered to be a cooked meal for the white lion, and he took out two bags of instant noodles and cooked them.

"Grandma's, they all say that this rich man eats delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long, buddy, there is not even an egg in this instant noodle, uh, but it is seafood noodles ......" After a full burp, Zhuang Rui casually threw the bowl into the kitchen, and this day is not much different from that in the Zhonghai rental house.

Wu Jia's call hadn't come yet, Zhuang Rui had nothing to do, and took out the two pieces of jade and jade meat that he was about to carve out from the basement, put them on the table in the living room, and looked at them carefully.

The small one, with two fist-sized jadeite, is a glass species, and the first piece solved yesterday is of the same quality, the westerly sunlight shines in from the window, falling on the jadeite, it looks so dazzling, dizzying, even if Zhuang Rui has seen it once yesterday, at this time he can't help but be deeply obsessed with it.

If the red fei under the light is like a girl who has just opened her love, beautiful and introverted, then this red fei under the sun is like an enthusiastic and unrestrained young woman, full of bright light, looking back, moving.

After his eyes stayed on this piece of jade for a long time, Zhuang Rui took it back and looked at the piece of ice seed material, which was placed together with the glass seed red jade next to it, and the gap was obviously highlighted, although the color was almost the same, but the luster was a little dark, and it could not give people the feeling that there seemed to be a gurgling stream flowing in it.

The volume of the ice species red fei is much larger than the glass species, weighing more than forty catties, the size of a basketball, which is a skilled jade master, at least thirty bracelets can be taken out, and the remaining materials can also be made into pendants, toys and pendants and earrings, which are also very valuable.

Zhuang Rui has now begun to calculate in his heart, these two fist-sized superlative red fei should be able to take out five pairs of bracelets, worth more than 50 million, of course, Zhuang Rui has no intention of selling them, he is going to take out a pair as a gift for the 70th anniversary of his grandmother and grandfather's marriage, and give it to his grandmother, and the other four pairs will be kept in his hand first.

When he thought of this, several girls suddenly appeared in Zhuang Rui's mind, Qin Xuanbing was naturally the first, and then the heroic Officer Miao, and the gentle and lovely Nurse Song, but what tickled Zhuang Rui's heart the most was the amorous Host Liu.

"Ahem, you can't be too shameless. ”

Zhuang Rui coughed vigorously, pulled his thoughts back, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, and turned on the TV.

"Sister, this is my gift to you......"

The conversation between the two women on the TV suddenly made Zhuang Rui's eyes widen, because the woman sitting on the horse was holding a pair of bracelets.

"No, sister, I'm young, you should accept this gift from me......"

"No, listen to me, this is the heirloom of Shiyu and their family!"

"Ah?!You're the heirloom of Shiyu, and so is mine......"

At this time, Fang Shiyu's mother, who was played by Xiao Fangfang next to her, took out a large string of bracelets and said: "Come on, come out, come out and walk the rivers and lakes, the most important thing is a courtesy. ”

Then there is the scene of the kung fu emperor running wildly, Zhuang Rui has seen this film several times before, but now the dirty thoughts that he just remembered in his heart, how can it be so similar to that on TV, and he was thinking about who this bracelet was given to just now.

"Dude is a serious person, alas, but it seems that no one can have three wives and four concubines except Arabs these days, right?"

Zhuang Rui sighed and changed the channel, who knew that there was the stallion emperor Kangxi who had dozens of sons, Zhuang Rui was also tightened in his chest for a while, and he turned off the TV directly in anger, isn't this a clear bully, the buddies are all lustful now, but there is no woman next to him.

Fortunately, at this moment, the phone next to him rang, and the evil fire in Zhuang Rui's heart was suppressed, and he looked at the number, it was Wu Jia calling.

"Master Luo has arrived, okay, I'll go to your store right away." ”

Zhuang Rui heard that the apprentice of the old man Wu had arrived, and after hanging up the phone, he hurriedly locked the two pieces of wool back into the basement and drove straight to "Shizhai".

"Xiaozhuang, come, let me introduce to you, this is my apprentice Luo Jiang, who has been a teacher for more than ten years, and now in Yangzhou carving, he is also a famous one. ”

As soon as Zhuang Rui walked into Shizhai, he saw that the old man Wu was sitting on the sofa in the store, talking with a middle-aged man in his forties, Wu Jia was pouring water for the two of them on the side, the old man was not good at his hands, his eyes were good, he saw Zhuang Rui at a glance, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to beckon him over.

"Hello Master Luo, I'm going to trouble you this time, old man, sit down, how dare you get up. ”

Zhuang Rui walked over, said hello to the middle-aged man, and saw Old Man Wu get up to greet him, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "Old man, your spirit is much better than some time ago." ”

"Alas, it's so old that I have to move out of the apprentice even to make a few pairs of bracelets, which is useless. ”

The old man sighed and said to the apprentices beside him: "Luo Jiang, Xiaozhuang is a kind person to your master, you have to do his work well, we must remember the rules in our industry, don't engage in those vain things......"

Hearing this, Luo Jiang hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully: "Master, don't worry, I know the rules, and I promise not to smear your old face......"

"Okay, among my apprentices, you have the best reputation and good craftsmanship, so I came to you, you talk to Xiaozhuang first, Jiajia, help me, let's go to the back room." Old Man Wu stood up tremblingly and was helped into it by his granddaughter.

"Master Luo, what's wrong with Old Man Wu? What are the rules in this jade business?" Zhuang Rui saw that Old Man Wu didn't want to listen to the conversation between the two, so he probably avoided suspicion and walked away.

Luo Jiang stood up and shook Zhuang Rui's hand, let Zhuang Rui onto the sofa, and said: "Hehe, private work like this, the rules in the jade industry are not allowed to leak the information of the owner, the master and his old man value this the most, so there is this." ”

Zhuang Rui found that Luo Jiang was very tall, taller than Zhuang Rui, he was very honest, and his smile gave people a feeling of trust, and his hands were also very wide, and his mouth and fingers were covered with thick calluses, which were completely different from the skillful hands of Master Zhuoyu in Zhuang Rui's imagination.

However, Zhuang Rui heard the old man say that the jade masters in the jade industry are somewhat the same as the masters of calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, that is, when they are in their forties, it is their peak, because when they are twenty or thirty years old, they will inevitably lack experience, and when they are fifty or sixty years old, their energy is a little weak, so the age of early forties is the easiest age to produce results.

Like the works of some modern and ancient masters, the pinnacle of the works that have been handed down are completed in their prime, although some masters are also not lacking in fine works in their later years, but no matter from all aspects, the works of the middle age are the most perfect.

Of course, although the jade masters like the old man Gu are older, their vision and experience are far beyond those of these juniors, and the objects that they really spend their efforts to make are not necessarily worse than them, but in terms of time and quantity, they are naturally far inferior.

For example, the objects carved by the old man in half a month must be better than the things carved by Luo Jiang in three days, but the difference will not be very large, so it is most suitable for Luo Jiang to do a job like Zhuang Rui polishing bracelets that does not require too much craftsmanship.

"Boss Zhuang, I don't know if your materials are ready? If they are all ready, we will be able to start work today." ”

Luo Jiang seems to be a real person, without mentioning a word of wages, he is about to start working directly, but this is also a sign of self-confidence, no matter how good he says, he has no good work in his hands, it is useless.

"I've prepared the jade materials, but don't worry, you just came to Pengcheng, do you want to rest for a day first? Just stay in my house, and the place where the jade is made is also there." ”

Zhuang Rui was very satisfied with this Master Luo in his heart, and then said: "Shouting Old Wu in the evening, let's have a meal together, and thank you Old Man Wu for this." ”

After Luo Jiang heard Zhuang Rui's words, he said, "The master probably won't go, so forget it." ”

Sure enough, when Zhuang Rui entered the house and told the old man, the old man Wu really disagreed, waved his hand and said: "Don't do that, my old man has eaten everything, if there are good objects in the future, just put them in my store for the old man to support the façade, you two go and get busy......"

"Cheng, old man, I'll surprise you when I turn around. ”

Zhuang Rui doesn't plan to sell the objects carved out of glass seeds, but the things carved out of ice materials can be sold to Wu Lao's store, and his own ice materials are very positive in color, and the red jade bracelets that are polished out can't be compared with blood jade bracelets, but the price of a pair of bracelets is also as high as one million.
