Chapter 404: Dou Bao Next

Even if even Jia seems to be Dao himself, at this point, it is not very clear whether the things in the mud inkstone are worth the price of more than one million. However, at this time, Jia Rudao also had no better way. Rather than just quit the game before the treasure fight started, it is better to take it out and gamble while you still have something at hand. Even if it fails, it can't get rid of the word "bet", right?

And this, like jewelry and jade, is also the most profound word. No matter what Old Man Yang will think of Jia Yidao, at least, the word "bet", especially gambling on jade, is not a shameful thing in the jade industry.

Jia Rudao pondered, is this a real attempt to "gamble"?

"Hey, looking at Brother Jia's expression, it seems that he has thought of some good way?" Soon, Jia Yidao's expression changed, and he fell into Yang Fan's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask immediately.

"yes. Now that he has figured out what he participated in the "Doubao", Jia Yidao's expression has naturally become a lot more lively, and when he heard Yang Fan's inquiry, he couldn't help but say with some joy, "Since they have already arrived at Lin'an, they are naturally friends who want to meet the jewelry and jade shops here for a while." ”

Hearing this, Ah San couldn't help but glance at Jia Yidao very strangely, and said: "Xiao Jia, shouldn't you really be confused? According to my meaning, when the time comes, you will directly take one of my porcelain to fill the number, although you may not be able to participate in the 'Doubao', but it at least shows that we are not here to fool around, right?"

"Porcelain?" Yang Fan was stunned.

"yes. Ah San said with a smile, "Let me reintroduce that my main job is to engage in porcelain." As for jewelry, that's just my side hustle. Saying that, Ah San also stretched out his hand very solemnly. Yang Fan saw it, shook it with a smile, and looked at Ah San's eyes, which were quite weird. It seems that for Ah San's character, and Ah San's ability to become very good friends with Jia Yidao, I feel a little incomprehensible.

"Brother Yang, don't pay attention to Ah San. Jia Rudao said a little helplessly, thinking that it was better for him not to know Ah San at this time? Thinking of the funny place, it seemed that there was still a little smile on his face, "He is such a person, if you really follow his words, he can give you a topic for three days and three nights." ”

"This is called a man of temperament. Yang Fan was also stunned, and then slapped his hand, saying this, which caused a burst of brilliance from Ah San, it seemed that because of Yang Fan's understanding, Ah San's chest was straighter and taller.

"However, Brother Jia, I don't know what you think? If it is really the porcelain that Ah San said, it is naturally not suitable. Yang Fan pondered and said, "It's best to have a jade rough or something." In this regard, Brother Jia is very good at it. You know, when the treasures are revealed later, their respective things are all competing for beauty, and if you really want to quit again at that time, it will be a bit unsightly. ”

"That's natural. Regarding Yang Fan's worries, Jia Rudao also understands very well. After all, at the beginning, Jia Rudao told him that he didn't bring the jade rough stone over. In this way, there should be no such thing as jadeite ornaments. And for a connoisseur who plays jadeite, in addition to jadeite, what kind of things can be carried with him worth more than one million?

If you want to talk about the package of Jia Rudao and Ah San, Yang Fan originally had a little anticipation for that thing. However, after Ah San said that it was porcelain, Yang Fan's mood of wanting to see and see was not so eager.

Jia Rudao smiled slightly, wondering if he should solve the mystery and tell the two of them what he was going to take to participate in the "Doubao", when a cheerful piece of music suddenly broke out in the hall of "Rat". Even with it, the lights that were originally as bright as day gradually turned into darkness.

What's going on?

As soon as Jia Rudao's heart moved, he saw that on the edge of the word "Shou" that he had seen when he first walked in, a dazzling strong light lit up, and the golden flannel cloth was brilliant in the place where the light was shining.

Then, a sturdy old man with white temples, silver and black, walked with a smile under the arm of a woman in a white dress. There is a strong family affection, a sweet love, the meaning of the inheritance of two generations, and the heart-pounding happiness and beauty......

They walked slowly and snuggled up to each other, and this father-daughter relationship of blood connection and dependence on each other was vividly expressed at this moment. None of the people present applauded secretly, and gradually, there was a long-lasting applause.

Some elderly people are not in the warm corner of their hearts, and they are also looking forward to whether they can one day become the protagonist of such a warm picture?

Or is it just the most brilliant and harmonious moment in life?

And the old and young who greeted in the applause of everyone were naturally tonight's birthday boy Old Man Yang and his daughter Yang Siyi. For Yang Siyi, Jia Yidao is no stranger, but she is a little surprised by what she is wearing tonight. You must know that in the previous three meetings, the other party was wearing capable and shrewd simple clothes, just like an ordinary working woman, not much different.

If not, I'm afraid Yang Siyi wouldn't have gone to Yuyan Mountain to purchase bloodstone wool in person, and mingled with the stall vendors over there.

However, the white dress he was wearing suddenly at this time made him a little more feminine, as if at this moment, the delicate face also became much softer, and sometimes with the fluttering appearance of the white dress, there was a nobleness like a princess at the same time, but also more of an ordinary little woman's attitude.

Of course, more, Jia Rudao still attributes the appearance of such a performance to the old man Yang beside Yang Siyi, I'm afraid that only such an old man will make the children who follow him show a little admiration, right?

Miss Yang helped her father and sat down at the round table in the middle of the hall. In the corner where Ah San and the others were, there was not so much attention at this time, only to see that after Old Man Yang had already sat down, everyone sat down again, and the lights in the hall were also brightened again, and they were full of brilliance, as if the beautiful picture of the moment just now just appeared in everyone's minds, as if it flashed by.

"The show is about to begin. Because of Old Man Yang's appearance, Ah San, who stood up and applauded for a while, took a sip of red wine at this time, and secretly said to Jia Yidao, "Xiao Jia, tell me the truth, although I am very optimistic about you and Miss Yang." But don't you do anything stupid later?"

"What do you mean?" Jia Rudao was slightly stunned.

"It's not, there's a 'Doubao' activity, I'm afraid that something will go wrong with you then, hey, although I'm kind, but, don't you really push me out at that time." Ah San said with some bitterness.

"Hehe, tell me the truth, did you see a certain acquaintance and feel that you are going to be embarrassed later?" Jia Rudao saw through Ah San's disguise at a glance, if it wasn't for that, how could Ah San be angry at this time? This is not in line with Ah San's style of acting.

"Gao, it really deserves to be Xiao Jia. Ah San** flattered Jia Rudao nakedly, but as for which acquaintance it was, he didn't point it out directly. Jia Yidao was even more suspicious, glanced at Ah San, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, I surrender. Ah San hurriedly gestured and said, "It's just a woman." However, it is not from the seaside, but from Shaoxing. There's not much overlap, it's just understanding. ”

"Well, the first few sentences are quite sincere, and this last sentence can be said to your girlfriend when the time comes. Jia Rudao said a little heartlessly.

"Isn't it?" Ah San sighed, looking at Jia Yidao's eyes, it seemed that he wanted to have as much resentment as he wanted.

……

And at the time when Jia Yidao and Ah San were chatting, the master of ceremonies who presided over tonight's birthday banquet was already standing in front of the host stage, saying some kind words and some words of praise loudly. Then, the representative of the Jewelry and Jade Association on the Lin'an side stood on the podium to deliver a speech. Jia Yidao glanced at it curiously, and it looked like the representative's appearance was very typical. Topless, chubby, beer belly. These words seem to be set specifically for him.

Ah San pointed at that person and said, "Hey, you know it's an official at a glance!"

"Flutter!" Jia Rudao didn't say anything here, but Yang Fan couldn't help laughing, as if he felt that his actions were a little out of sight, and said to Ah San, "Don't look at other people's shapes, but in the identification of jewelry and jade, you still have some eyesight." My old man, you still praised him to me. ”

"I'm just aiming for his 'elegant' look. Ah San spread his hands and said, his expression a little innocent. Yang Fan looked at it a lot, but it was also up to Ah San to go. There is a strange posture, and for a while, Ah San was bored by himself.

And the representative of the jewelry association, when he was about to speak, actually paused slightly, made a full gesture, and made people feel that the posture was like a big speech, after all, the leader at any time, doesn't he need to speak slowly, and then, the speech is sonorous and powerful?

As a result, the person in front of him was good, but he did enough to do it, and what he finally said was just three simple sentences. first welcomed everyone's arrival, then congratulated Mr. Yang, and finally said a finished sentence. Immediately attracted bursts of applause, and the feeling from the heart almost made people feel like eating honey!

After all, Mr. Yang's "Shi Zhixuan" is very famous in the local area, and it can be regarded as a leader in the bloodstone line. In addition, there are a few old friends of Mr. Yang, the kind of old people, after decades of friendship, the friendship between friends, the few words that come out, simple, but contain infinite power, so that young people envy.

At this time, whether you have a successful career or are still working hard, you will subconsciously look at the partners around you.

It's like Jia Nidao, who looked at Ah San at this moment, and Ah San also looked at it with tacit understanding. The two of them looked at each other like this, and there were no sparks flying, nor did they smile at each other tacitly. It's so bland, there's hardly a wave, but it's so intimate, and everything falls into place.

In Jia Yidao's mind, it seems that decades later, he and Ah San are both over half a hundred years old, and at the birthday banquet, there will be a picture of each other's smiling old faces! That faint warmth, everything is in the unspoken feeling, but it is unprecedented to look forward to!

On the way, there was also a congratulatory message from the city leader, which was read out, which can be regarded as the government's side, giving Old Man Yang enough face. In any case, people in the jewelry industry, especially a century-old store like "Shi Zhixuan", can be regarded as a big taxpayer in the city, right?

After being lively for a while, it can be regarded as the main topic of tonight's birthday banquet.

The master of ceremonies officially announced: "Now, everyone here, the long-awaited moment has arrived, and the 'Treasure Dedication' activity has officially begun. Today, I took a look, and there were a total of seventeen collectors participating, by the way, these seventeen collectors are all young heroes. As for why? Hehe, let's guess for yourself!"

Listening to what the master of ceremonies said was fun, everyone present also smiled happily, only Yang Siyi, who was sitting next to Old Man Yang, frowned slightly. A woman, especially a shrewd woman, is obviously very sensitive at such times. For the topic of the master of ceremonies, it is natural to understand. However, she didn't look like her expression had changed, and she just glanced at the master of ceremonies in some surprise.

Sometimes, even if everyone knows it in their hearts, it is still not the same feeling as someone saying it positively.

Fortunately, at such a moment, Yang Siyi naturally would not stand up and say something. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that this master of ceremonies will tease a woman like Yang Siyi a little, right?

If it were in normal times, I am afraid that there would be such an opportunity to be above board.

"Next, I will call out the names of the treasure presenters in turn, and then the hostess will collect the prepared treasures from the person, and then place them on the presiding table, that is, the long table in front of me, in a row, for everyone to enjoy slowly. The emcee's voice continued, loud and magnetic, "One of the collectors who participated in the 'Treasure Offering' is the local general manager of 'Star Jewelry', Mr. Zhang Jiansheng, and the treasure presented is ......."

The emcee's voice dragged on a little long. And at this time, everyone present is also looking forward to it.

"Why, don't you want to know, what is the treasure that Zhang Jiansheng participated in a 'treasure offering'?" Yang Fan looked around at the reactions of the people around him, and even Ah San looked at the master of ceremonies with some anticipation and walked towards Zhang Jiansheng, Jia Rudao was here, but he was drinking alone, not interested at all, and couldn't help but ask very strangely, "You also want to participate, what about the competitors......"

"It's because it's a competitor that there's no need to look at it at this time. Jia Rudao's mentality was very stable, and he said. "Didn't the master of ceremonies say it, a total of seventeen collectors participated. Hehe, wouldn't it be a waste of energy to wait so nervously to see what happened to everyone who said it?"

"That's right. Yang Fan was obviously a little surprised by Jia Yidao's answer, and after a little pondering, he nodded. For him, all the treasures involved in the event will actually be placed on the side of the host stage later, and everyone has the opportunity to get close to each other.

It's nothing more than the difference between seeing it a few minutes earlier and seeing it a few minutes later.

While the two were talking, Miss Manners had already received a small brocade box, which did not need to be opened, judging from the appearance, everyone could estimate that what was hidden in it must be precious jewelry or something, or some small pieces of jade. And judging from the quality of the brocade box, the things in it shouldn't be too bad, right?

As for the power to uncover this brocade box, it naturally falls into the hands of Mr. Zhang Jiansheng. However, it is also necessary to wait until all the treasures participating in the event are all unveiled and placed on the display stand.

Jia Rudao shook his head a little disapprovingly for such a tricky act. On the contrary, some of the young women here, even those middle-aged women, when facing the brocade box, or more precisely, facing the jewelry that may appear in the brocade box, the expectation is obviously higher than that of the men present!

Everyone has a love for beauty!

The temptation of jewelry and jade for women is really greater than that of men. For Jia Nidao, even if he likes jadeite, it is because of the charm of jadeite itself, or the huge benefits that jadeite rough can bring to Jia Nidao, which can be regarded as gradually entering the world of jadeite.

And for women, the love for these jade jewelry is almost innate!

"The two, the deputy general manager of the Jinding Consortium, Mr. Qi Liangwei's treasure, but it is very big, very heavy, hey, you have to be careful. The master of ceremonies stood on the podium, tried his best to dye the atmosphere of the scene, and said, "You can take a look, the two hostesses are carrying together, and they feel very difficult. It's a big guy......"

The words of the explanation were almost directly spoken, and what was contained in the box was a piece of wool. As for whether it is bloodstone or not, Mr. Qi Liangwei wants to use this to curry favor with Old Man Yang, which is not something that the master of ceremonies can understand.

"Three-......"

The master of ceremonies was on the presiding stage, saying their names one by one, and introducing the treasures participating in the "treasure offering" activity one by one. However, Jia Rudao can also be regarded as seeing that none of these treasures, at least from the current point of view, can know what exactly they are. Either hidden in a box, or placed in a box, the worst of all, will be covered with a red cloth.

Among them, there are some fragile items, and the owners of the treasures are not worried about the master of ceremonies taking over and directly put them on the display table. There are also some pairs of pairs, such as the No. 5 treasure, without untying the red cloth covered, can be seen from the form, should belong to the pair of carved ornaments, nothing more than not yet able to see the specific material. Jia Yidao can even imagine from the slightly revealed form outline, and then put himself in his shoes, he can roughly judge that this is a pair of mandarin ducks.

What a great idea!

Jia Rudao couldn't help but look at Yang Siyi's side. Regarding the arrival of Jia Yidao and Ah San, Yang Siyi is naturally very sure. After all, it was also an invitation sent by her own hand. However, Jia Rudao and Ah San chose to sit in the corner, and now there are fifty or sixty tables in the entire hall, and it is not easy for Yang Siyi to find someone among them.

Especially as one of the two most conspicuous people tonight, the entertainment around Yang Siyi, whether it is a leader or an elder, will always keep her busy coping, right?

When Jia Rudao looked at her at this time, she was also looking at a few treasures on the display table. The expression on his face was sometimes a little confused, and sometimes he unfolded a faint smile, as if the scene was guessing what every treasure on the display table was!

Suddenly, Jia Rudao felt someone gently push him, looked up and saw that it was Yang Fan, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Hehe, are you looking at people, are you stunned?" Yang Fan obviously noticed where Jia Yidao's gaze was just now, and at this moment, he said with a smile, "I said that you are going to play, at this time, you can always tell me what kind of treasure it is, right?"

Regarding the "porcelain" that Ah San deliberately prevaricated just now, Yang Fan didn't believe it in his heart.

"This ......" Jia Rudao was thinking about revealing it, his eyes glanced at Ah San's side, especially the package on Ah San's side, and then, he heard the master of ceremonies on the rostrum, calling out his name, which happened to be in the thirteenth place. If it is a superstitious person's words, I will sigh: What a good number!

A young lady of ceremonies, about in advance, found the location of the seventeen people who participated in the "treasure offering" from the registrant at the door, and at this time, it was not a difficult task to find Jia Yidao. As soon as the master of ceremonies on the presiding stage shouted Jia Nidao's name, he walked over slowly.

For a while, what surprised Jia Nidao was that Yang Siyi's gaze was also from the center of the hall, following the steps of Miss Master of Ceremonies, and suddenly found Jia Nidao.

However, soon Yang Siyi understood Jia Yidao's purpose. For the two companies that are about to cooperate, Jia Rudao's move, in Yang Siyi's eyes, is undoubtedly showing goodwill, expressing his sincerity to "Shi Zhixuan". This made Yang Siyi's heart feel a little happy. Or, in my heart, I just felt that it was not in vain to hand the invitation to Jia Nidao this time.

It's just that after Jia Rudao took out his "treasure" with a smile, Yang Siyi's face suddenly showed a bit of a crying and laughing expression. Not only that, but Yang Siyi was not the only one who was shocked, even Yang Fan, who was sitting next to Jia Nidao, looked at Jia Nidao at this time, and his eyes were also very weird. Ah San, who was more familiar with Jia Yidao, opened his mouth slightly, and temporarily forgot to close it back.

At that moment just now, Jia Rudao hurriedly came to Ah San's side, and very casually took out his piece of mud inkstone from the package, which was heavy and placed directly in the tray of Miss Manners. Miss Manners was even a little stunned, and almost turned over the plate in her hand.

First, because this clay inkstone is indeed a little heavy, if you don't pay attention to it in advance, it is really not stable to hold; second, that is, among the seventeen "treasures", this treasure that is completely unveiled in front of everyone's eyes, in terms of appearance, is really surprising.

If it is not so much a treasure, it is better to say that the clay inkstone taken out by Jia Yidao is an ordinary inkstone in the homes of ordinary people. On the surface, the color is a little burnt yellow, with a slight hint of gray and black. And judging from the process of Jia Nidao taking it out, it seems that Jia Nidao himself does not cherish such a piece of mud inkstone very much.

Because just when Miss Manners's hand was holding the tray, a slight tilt, and she was about to hold it, standing in front of Miss Manners, Jia Nidao, who was closest to the tray in Miss Manners's hand, was not even able to reach out and support her. Such a scene, in the eyes of those who have a heart, naturally has a deep meaning.

If you want to say that this clay inkstone is worth more than a million, if it is you, do you believe it?

"Xiao Jia, you're not joking, are you?" Even Ah San was a little suspicious of his eyes at this time. After wiping his eyes, Ah San made sure that he was not mistaken, and when he looked at Jia Yidao again, the meaning in his eyes was much more.

Speaking of which, among the people present, the one who knows the most about this piece of mud inkstone, except for Jia Yidao himself, is probably Ah San. Regarding the rules of "Doubao", Ah San also learned from Yang Fan's mouth. Jia Rudao can take out the clay inkstone, and there is really nothing wrong with it, it is much better than taking out the porcelain, right?

If Jia Nidao really took out a piece of porcelain, although everyone wouldn't say anything, it wouldn't have any substantial impact on Jia Nidao's reputation, and it couldn't be said, but it could make Jia Nidao even more famous. Moreover, a person who plays with jadeite rough stones actually takes a piece of porcelain to participate in the "treasure fighting" of the "jewelry and jade" category, which can be regarded as famous, right?

This is why Ah San knew that Jia Nidao might be embarrassed, and continued to help Jia Nidao fill in the name of the "Doubao".

However, at this time, Jia Rudao did not take out the porcelain, and the sensation caused was far greater than taking out the porcelain.

Ah San couldn't help but glance at Jia Yidao, and that expression seemed to say: Okay, if you think that this can make you famous faster, then you have been very successful.

Just when it was close to noon, he inadvertently bought an ordinary clay inkstone, that is, two thousand yuan, Jia Rudao dared to directly put it on the "bucket treasure" of the bottom line of one million dollars, if he was not really sure that he could "pick up the leak", then he was a madman in the antique shop.

As a result, in the entire birthday banquet venue, for a moment, it was almost audible that a needle dropped.

Not only the hostess, but also Ah San and the other guests around were all looking at the mud on the tray in a daze. The naked original appearance, the slight feeling of being a little bulky, and the ugliness that looks simple and elegant, but really has no value at all, the carvings that are not there at all, and the bare appearance give people endless shock!

The only thing that can be said to be bizarre is that there are traces of long-term use on the whole clay inkstone.

"Strange, really strange......"

"It's not worth it, it's not worth a million at all!"

……

Words like these, after a period of silence, began to gradually flow throughout the birthday banquet scene. Yang Fan also deliberately gave Jia Yidao a "count you ruthless" look. The hint of meaning at the corner of his mouth really made Jia Nidao, who was originally as calm as water, faintly give birth to some waves.

Could it be that this thing is really the wrong thing?

When the etiquette lady walked to the display table with difficulty with this piece of mud inkstone, there was also a little embarrassed expression on her face, which had always been relatively calm. Perhaps, at this time, in her heart, she is also annoyed, she will choose to go to Jia Rudao like this? You know, Miss Etiquette, she is not the only one. The struggle in my heart, after it appeared on my face, in the eyes of everyone, it added to the weird color of such a clay inkstone!
