Chapter 101: A Treasure in a Stone

"Sell me this stone. ”

After Zhang Tianyuan finished treating Old Man Liu, he asked the old man to do him a favor and found the director of the sanatorium, what was the purpose? Of course, it was for the stone in the flower bed that did not look amazing.

"What are you selling, Old Man Liu and Old Man Mu have spoken for you, can you still ask for your money for this stone? If you want, take it, we don't have anything else in the nursing home, can we still lack a stone?"

"I can't say that, although it's just a stone, but after all, it's the property of the sanatorium, and I have to give some money, just to accumulate virtue and do good, or to buy some equipment or something. Zhang Tianyuan doesn't want to owe favors to others, and the problems that money can solve are definitely not indebted, which is also his principle of doing things.

It's easy to pay back the money, but it's very difficult to pay it back.

"Well, this stone was shipped from outside, and it wasn't really much, maybe a thousand dollars. ”

"What! A thousand dollars for a broken stone! I said Dean, don't cheat people, my buddy is an honest man. Xu Gang exclaimed.

"Shut up, Gangzi! This stone is obviously polished, and with the shipping fee, it's not worth a thousand pieces. "Zhang Tianyuan is afraid that Xu Gang's words will offend the dean, if he is really offended, people may not be rare thousands of dollars, but they won't give it to you, what can you do?

As he spoke, he was unambiguous, and directly ordered a thousand yuan in cash from his wallet and handed it to the dean, and said some words of thanks.

Xu Gang probably saw that the door was coming, so he didn't say anything, he wasn't stupid, he didn't expect Zhang Tianyuan to do this stone just now, but when he saw his brother's anxious look, he understood that there was a secret to this thing on time.

"May I ask, what do you want this stone for?" asked the dean, as he put the money away.

"Oh, the younger generation is rough carving, and I just saw that the shape of this stone is particularly suitable for carving a pattern, so I can't help but ......"

"Carving, good, good, young people should be more interested, more interested. The director of the sanatorium didn't take Zhang Tianyuan's words seriously, in his opinion, a hairy child in his twenties can carve something good, but sending out the stone can be regarded as giving face to Old Man Liu and Old Man Mu, and it will be more convenient to ask them to do things in the future.

Zhang Tianyuan didn't say much, people looked down on him, and he didn't have to let everyone look down on him.

Xu Gang, who was driving the car, first sent Zhang Tianyuan to the city, and then sent Old Man Mu home with Mu Ying, to be honest, it was really inconvenient to have his own car, Zhang Tianyuan was thrown halfway through, and he was still holding a stone the size of a human head in his hand, how funny it would be.

Fortunately, he has a lot of strength, otherwise, he would have to lie down tired.

I managed to convince a taxi driver to let me take the stone into the car, and I was able to return home.

If you want to talk about persuasion, it is actually a hundred yuan bills, so you have to persuade Grandpa Mao, even if you can say it again, there is no money to do.

After returning home, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't wait to start studying this stone, when he was in the sanatorium, he only sensed that there were good things in the stone through treasure hunting, but he didn't look closely.

Through perspective, you can see that there is an emerald green color in the stone, which is undoubtedly jadeite, but how big the jadeite is, it is not easy to determine now, because of the relationship between the earth and qi realm, it is still a little difficult for him to penetrate such a thick stone, he can only see the emerald green piece, but he can't see the outline clearly, he knows that there is something in the Dao, but he can't judge how big the thing is.

The key is that the stone skin of this stone is too thick, unlike the few stones that Liu Mengxun brought when he gambled on the stone, the stone skin is relatively thin, and it is easy to see clearly.

But jadeite will definitely not be wrong, Zhang Tianyuan can be 100% sure of this, anyway, this thing must be more than a thousand yuan, and it will definitely not be lost.

He had the heart to take a good look, so he simply used a hammer to knock open a lot of the stone skin, anyway, the stone skin was very thick, and he was not afraid of hurting the jade inside.

Seeing that the stone was a little smaller, and the earth qi had slowly recovered a lot at this time, it was much clearer when I opened my eyes again to look inside.

There is a piece of emerald green about the size of a tennis ball, and judging by its color, it should still be a relatively good jadeite.

Generally speaking, jadeite is not produced in China, and most of them enter the country from Myanmar, so jadeite is also called Burmese jade.

Because of this, in recent years, the jadeite market is quite good, in the jewelry industry, this thing is also very widely used, but not as conspicuous and boasted as diamonds, to put it bluntly, or not good enough.

In fact, jadeite is not necessarily green, there are also black, purple, yellow, red, etc., the magic of nature's creation, that is really incomparable.

Speaking of jadeite, Zhang Tianyuan is still more knowledgeable, after all, there is a big expert Xu Gang around him, at least the most basic identification and appreciation, he can still do it, so this look, you know that the jadeite in this stone is not simple, it is definitely a good thing, it is still the best jadeite in the old pit.

The skill of cutting stones, he understands, and he has also cut, plus the help of the earth, this technique must be no problem, but the tools for cutting stones are not easy to find, and the general shops will definitely not sell them, or wait for time to find Dong Lao, the master who cut the stone last time is Dong Lao's disciple, and the tools are definitely there.

Looking at the stone, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help yawning, and Shinra got out of his arms, rubbing his head against his chin and screaming affectionately.

Zhang Tianyuan then remembered that he was too busy today, and he hadn't had time to feed this little guy, so he was probably hungry.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly got some food and fed it to Shinra, then put the stone under the bed, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

After the excitement passed, he realized that he was extremely tired at this time because he had consumed too much earthly qi, and he had just fallen asleep with his head next to the pillow.

I slept soundly until the next morning when I was woken up by a knock at the door.

"Tian Yuan, you kid won't sleep to death, will you?" was Xu Gang's voice.

"You can't say anything nice, you always curse me, what's the matter, so early!" Zhang Tianyuan yawned and found that Xiao Shenluo was standing at the head of the bed and staring at him with his head tilted.

He smiled and touched the little guy's head, and was startled when he looked at his phone, he had been asleep for more than ten hours, no wonder Xu Gang came back.

"Hurry up and get up, didn't you say that you were going to buy a car today?" Xu Gang said as he knocked on the door.

"You still need me to buy a car, you can go with the snake team. Zhang Tianyuan yawned and stretched, he had other things to do today, buying a car, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Do you have any arrangements for today?"

Zhang Tianyuan passed his clothes and opened the door, looked at Xu Gang, who was excited outside, and said: "Look at your excited look, if you can't stand it, go quickly, leave me alone, I'm going to find Dong Lao today, there is something wrong." ”

"Looking for Dong Lao?"

"That's right, borrow some tools from him, and didn't I buy a painting in Nandu last time, I want Dong Lao to do me a favor." Zhang Tianyuan rubbed his eyes and said.

"Oh, that's the word on that print?"

"Prints? Hehe, do you think I, Zhang Tianyuan, am the kind of wronged boss? I guess ah, there is a gold leaf book in that letter, even if it is not written by Wang Xizhi, it should be a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the price is definitely not low, but I don't know how to disassemble the plastic on it, I am afraid that it will be damaged, so I have to ask Dong Lao for help." Zhang Tianyuan said.

"I don't understand what you're saying, anyway, I've found good things again? You kid, could it be that you have inherited Sun Wukong's fiery eyes?" Xu Gang asked.

"It's better than that!" Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "Do you remember the stone I brought back yesterday?" I'm not afraid to tell you, I think there is a good glass ground old pit to grow jade, waiting for you to count the money." ”

"God! A broken stone can make you see the jade? And it's also planted in an old pit in the glass ground? What about you liaring ghosts, are everyone else blind?" Xu Gang couldn't help but say.

"Hehe, luck is coming, you can't stop it, you better go buy a car. Remember that it must be top-matched, we are not short of money. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Well, I'll wait for you to cut the stone and take a look, I still don't believe it, with my eyes, I didn't even notice that there was jade in that stone, and you actually found it? No wonder you have to buy it for a thousand dollars." ”

At this time, Serpentine also came over from the room and asked Zhang Tianyuan, "Do I want to go out with you today?"

"No, it's not dangerous for me to go to Dong Lao's, but Gangzi is going to buy a car today, and he needs someone to accompany him, you go with him and help drive the car back." Zhang Tianyuan commanded.

"Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say, but if there's anything to do, call me immediately, you know the number. Serpentine said.

"Well, what happened to what I asked you to do yesterday? Liu Desheng, that guy is still reliable, right?"

"That person should really take refuge in you, bought clothes, got a haircut, ate another meal, and then went to rent a house, cheap, only 500 yuan a month, rented a house and went directly to the shop to find you, but I didn't meet him, I told him to follow the shopkeeper Hu to learn to be a buddy first. Serpentine replied.

"Okay, as long as he is honest, in fact, Liu Desheng still has the ability, as long as he is willing, it will not be a problem to be a shopkeeper in the future, so be it, you go buy a car, I will go directly to Dong's hometown after washing." Zhang Tianyuan nodded, and his heart was also slightly relieved.

He really thinks that Liu Desheng is a manufacturable material, but he is worried that the guy is unruly, and now he is a little more relieved, as for the future, it depends on whether Liu Desheng is smart or not.

If that guy really dares to do something wrong, Zhang Tianyuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he will not be polite to him.
