Chapter 20 The Millennial Turtle
"The jade powder is in stock, that's great, I'll go get it." ”
Coincidentally. Dong Jin was about to go to Wang He to ask about the jade powder, and when he heard Wang He say that the jade powder had fallen, he was naturally happy, and he didn't care about calling Yu Hou at the moment, so he went out directly, took a taxi and went to the antique market.
Today is Wednesday.
There are not many people in the antique market, and there are even fewer people on the jade street, and when Dong Jin rushed to Pinyuzhai non-stop, the little Lori Wang Yiyi, who had not been seen for a long time, was actually in the store today.
And this little girl obviously has a good memory, and she also holds grudges, and after recognizing that it was Dong Jin who scolded her little boy last time, she didn't come out with the same appearance as last time, but she rolled her eyes directly, snorted, and glared at Dong Jin, and then slipped directly into the backyard with her ass flicker......
"Uh...... This little kid is too vindictive. ”
Dong Jin, who was left alone on the spot, couldn't help but touch his nose and smile bitterly, but at this time, he was also familiar with that Wang He, so he didn't wait for Xiao Lori to go in to convey it, so he also went in.
It's just that when Dong Jin entered the backyard, he found that Wang He was wearing a leather apron, holding a small electric carving knife in his hand, and sometimes changing the carving knife, one by one, slowly carving something...... Slow but simple...... The little Lori Wang Yiyi, the playful ghost elf, obviously didn't dare to disturb at this time, but just stood obediently beside Wang He and grimaced at the uninvited Dong Jin~
And when Dong Jin stepped forward to take a look, he found that the material used in Wang He's carving this time was the original round material he bought......
And this Wang He's carving process is obviously of some level, the Maitreya in his hand is not only clear and smooth, the roots and feet are clean, and even the joints are not muddy and watery at all.
Moreover, the ingenious thing is that the previous piece of jadeite material has a faint red flake at one end, and Wang He has obviously been carefully designed when carving, just so that the red flake spot is placed under Maitreya's body, and from a distance, it looks like an auspicious cloud attached to the base of Maitreya, which is very good-looking......
"Hey, Brother Dong is here, you see that I am busy carving at this time, so I haven't paid attention, I hope you will forgive me...... Yiyi, this little girl is not sensible, and the guests don't know how to wake me up......" After a while, after Wang He completed the overall appearance of Maitreya, he finally saw Dong Jin standing on the side, pretending to be polite After scolding Wang Yiyi who was standing on the side, he quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile. It's just that although this Wang He is pretending to be polite, Wang Yiyi, who has been scolded again, looks at Dong Jin's eyes and is even more different......
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I didn't expect Brother Wang's carving skills to be so good. Dong Jin couldn't do anything about this little girl, but he was a little greedy when he looked at the delicate and crystal clear large Maitreya in Wang He's hand.
Jade is such a thing, one looks at the material, and the other looks at the god.
Obviously, this Maitreya has both of them, and it is considered a fine product.
However, this Maitreya alone has more than one million materials, and Dong Jin definitely can't afford it.
"It made Brother Dong laugh, but if Brother Dong wasn't willing to transfer such a good jade material to me, then I wouldn't be able to carve even the best carving level. Wang He is obviously very happy with his work.
"Such a naturally formed whole piece of ice seed material is too rare, I plan to carve it out and take it to the exhibition first and then give it to my friend, if I am lucky enough to win the award at the exhibition, I have to thank you, Brother Dong." ”
Indeed, jade carving first pays attention to the use of materials, and the second is the skillful use of colors.
Jadeite jade this kind of thing is naturally born, the general trend has become, it can be said that each piece is born very precious, a good carver first to do is to do as much as possible in accordance with its existing shape design.
Dong Jin's material is coincidental, and the appearance happens to have a general Maitreya figure, so it is not wrong for Wang He to say that it is thanks to Dong Jin's material.
"That's not right, if you don't have Brother Wang's skills, even if you have good material, you will be blind...... When there is a chance in the future, it seems that I have to ask Brother Wang to design a few gadgets. ”
"It's easy to say, just tell me what you need...... Oh, by the way, these are the jade powder you want, this time I deliberately stayed in Chaozhou for a while longer, and finally got your 400,000 jade powder...... Moreover, the jade powder in the first three bags is even better than the jade powder you took from me before, but I will also count these as three thousand and one kilogram......s for you," Wang He pointed to the seven or eight small bags stored on the side and said.
"Three thousand and one kilograms, four hundred thousand is more than one hundred and thirty-three kilograms, I have a total of one hundred and forty kilograms here, and the rest is all given to Brother Dong, so I should thank Brother Dong for being able to sell me such good materials." ”
"That's a good feeling!"
Dong Jin didn't expect that the 400,000 jade powder would be gathered all at once, and the most important thing is that the quality of some of the jade powder was even better than the last time, which was a bit unexpected. After all, the better the texture of the jade powder, the greater the spirituality, and it will definitely play a role in giving birth to plants.
After taking the jade powder, Dong Jin simply chatted with Wang He for a while, and Dong Jin, who was in a hurry to go back to give birth to plants, said goodbye and left.
It's just that when Dong Jin was looking for someone to move all the jade powder outside the antique market, he unexpectedly saw a middle-aged man dressed in old clothes and covered with mud at the exit of the antique market, squatting at the intersection and not knowing what to sell.
Dong Jin leaned over to take a look, but saw a huge old turtle the size of a small basin in a large iron basin in front of the man!
And the old turtle is also covered with mud, and on its back is a whole piece of blue-black hard shell without the slightest texture, there is a thick folded skirt around the shell, the tip of the head is thin and slender, the mouth is also pointed, the whole head is blue-black, a pair of green eyes like crystal clear jade are full of depth and can not see the end, it looks brave and mysterious, but the movement is a little slow, unable to move, at first glance it is a little old.
"Little brother, do you want an old turtle? Pure wild, just fished out of the reservoir in the ravine of the village in the morning, the old man in the village said, such a big one, it will take at least a thousand years......" The man saw Dong Jin come over, and quickly introduced with a humble face.
"Uh...... Millennium-old turtles are rare...... You can't be drug-induced, right?"
The main reason is that many dealers nowadays deliberately dress up in the rustic, wandering around the streets to sell old turtles, claiming that they are wild, but in fact, many of them are born by drugs, and even some are directly selling snapping turtles, which is simply a death pit and does not pay for their lives, no wonder Dong Jin will be suspicious.
"No, no, this is absolutely wild, you see the mud on this old turtle or the silt in our reservoir, and this old turtle is very smart, for this old turtle, I kept watch in the reservoir for three days and three nights, and finally jumped into the reservoir to catch it...... You see, my hand, I didn't pay attention and let it bite, it's still bleeding...... Oh, by the way, and this is my ID card, you see, it's the ...... from Dahe Village in our county" Who knows, as soon as he heard Dong Jin's words, the man was excited, and directly took out the bite wound on his hand to show Dong Jin, and then he was afraid that Dong Jin would not believe it, so he took out his ID card directly.
Dong Jin glanced at it, it was really from Dahe Village, Tongzhou County.
Where to stay, though, isn't the point.
Dong Jin took advantage of the man to show his ID card and squatted down and sniffed carefully, generally speaking, the old turtle born by the drug has a strong smell of urine, which can not be swayed for a long time, and at this time, the old turtle in the basin is covered with the fishy smell of silt, although it smells bad, but at least it does not look like the smell of medicine, and the snapping turtle is fierce, with a square tumor on the shell, Dong Jin recognizes it, that is, the old turtle in front of him may really be wild!
If that's the case, it's really rare to grow so big!
"Come on, don't show it, I believe it, so how much are you going to sell this old turtle?"
"Fifty thousand!" The man couldn't help but be happy when he saw Dong Jin ask the price, and then the lion opened his mouth and said.
After hearing the man's offer, Dong Jin rolled his eyes, didn't say hello, stood up and left.
You must know that ordinary wild turtles can be sold to small restaurants for sixty or seventy-one catties, even if they are sold in the streets and alleys, it is estimated that they can be sold for two hundred and one catties, this person really dares to ask for it, this old turtle is only sixty or seventy catties in total, and this person will be 50,000 yuan as soon as he opens his mouth, no wonder Dong Jin stands up and leaves.
"Hey, little brother, it's easy to discuss, don't be in a hurry to leave, if you think the price is not suitable, let's discuss it again......" The man saw that Dong Jin was leaving, and he suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly stood up and said.
"In this way, you old turtle must have seventy or eighty pounds to look at it, if you really want to sell, according to the market price, I will give you a maximum of 5,000 yuan, if you want to sell, I will give you money now, if you don't want to sell, then we can't buy and sell it, I will go mine, you continue to set up your stall ......" Dong Jin, who was shouted, said angrily.
To tell the truth, it is really useless for Dong Jin to buy such a big old turtle back, he must be reluctant to eat it, it turns out that Dong Jin thinks that if it is cheap, the space is so large that there is just a lack of a living thing, this old turtle has lived for thousands of years and has more or less some spirituality, and it is just right to put it in the space.
How do you know, when this person opens his mouth, the lion opens his mouth, and he directly asks for 50,000, so Dong Jin can't stay here to be slaughtered?
"Uh...... Five thousand is too low, isn't it? You know, it took me three days to catch it, and I got a bite on my hand...... Forget it, forget it, I've been here all morning, just count the high price you gave, I won't wait, I'll sell it to you......" The man probably also knew what the price of this old turtle was, and after seeing that Dong Jin was about to leave again, he simply waved his hand and reluctantly agreed.
For this price, Dong Jin was still acceptable, found a nearby ATM, and after withdrawing 5,000 cash, he bought it with the old turtle.
Seventy or eighty catties of old turtles plus more than a hundred catties of jade powder, Dong Jin must not be able to lift it, and after buying the old turtle, Dong Jin simply found a alley where no one was, and directly put all the same into the space.
It's just that when the old turtle was released, the old turtle that seemed to be old and reluctant to move, after Dong Jingang poured it out of the big basin, he actually picked up his limbs and quickly burrowed into the straw, and disappeared in the blink of an eye......
"I'll go, this old turtle has been pretending to be old all the time, why is it moving so quickly? No wonder it can bite that man's hand!"
