However, although these pearls are good, they are all scattered, and it is not good to give them to others as engagement gifts. Xiao Ping planned to ask someone to string the pearls into a necklace first, so that he could get his hands on them when he gave them away.

At present, Xiao Ping has some fame in the food and health care industry, but he is a complete layman in the jewelry industry, and he does not know a craftsman who can string pearl necklaces. Even Xiao Ping, a layman, can see the preciousness of these pearls, but he doesn't dare to hand them over to anyone to deal with indiscriminately.

In the end, Xiao Ping decided to find Mao Wenqing, the owner of the provincial capital "Weifang Zhai", to find a way. This old gentleman runs a jade and jade business, and he should have a connection with the jewelry industry, and he can't be wrong to ask him about this.

Xiao Ping has always been a man of action, and he quickly got through the phone of Wei Zhai. The person who answered the phone happened to be Mao Wenqing, and when he heard Xiao Ping's voice, he immediately smiled: "It's Xiao Xiao, what, come to me to buy jade again, I've seen all the goods I bought last time, and I have to wait for a while if I want new goods." ”

Although it is difficult to evolve the Demon Refining Pot by only devouring jade now, Xiao Ping still has a glimmer of hope. Hopefully, after absorbing enough jade, the Demon Refining Pot can evolve again.

Since he gradually began to get rich, Xiao Ping has not stopped buying good jade. At present, he is not only the most popular guest of the jade merchants in Su City, but also the biggest customer of Weifang Zhai. This is also the reason why Mao Wenqing first mentioned jade trading as soon as he picked up the phone.

This time, Mao Wenqing guessed wrong, Xiao Ping smiled and said: "Boss Mao, I didn't ask you to buy jade this time, but I want to trouble you with other things." ”

Xiao Ping saved Mao Wenqing's life at the beginning, and he has always kept this in mind. Hearing this, he immediately said simply: "If there is anything to do, just open your mouth, as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse!" ”

"That's right. I got some scattered pearls, and I want to ask someone to help string these pearls into a ......" Xiao Ping said honestly: "Zhilu Dao You know a lot of people, I want to ask if there are any experts in this area who can be introduced." ”

Mao Wenqing muttered on the other end of the phone: "I know an old friend who specializes in pearl jewelry, and he has nothing to say about his craftsmanship, but he ......."

Xiao Ping hurriedly asked, "Just what?" ”

"My old friend has a weird temper." Mao Wenqing smiled bitterly: "In recent years, he has rarely worked for strangers, unless he meets a really good pearl, it is useless to ask him for help." ”

Hearing Mao Wenqing say this, Xiao Ping couldn't help laughing, and said to him happily: "You don't have to worry about this, I believe that as long as your friends see my pearls, they will definitely agree to help." ”

Since Xiao Ping is so confident. Mao Wenqing naturally stopped talking nonsense, and immediately agreed to take him to meet his old friend. Because of the urgency of time, Xiao Ping rushed to the provincial capital in the afternoon of the same day, and went to Weifangzhai early the next morning to see Mao Wenqing.

Mao Wenqing was also very concerned about Xiao Ping's affairs, and as soon as Xiao Ping arrived, he took him to meet his old friend. Mao Wenqing's Mercedes drove through the entire provincial capital, eventually stopping outside a quiet and elegant alley on the outskirts of the city. It's hard to get into the alleys, so you have to walk in.

Mao Wenqing and Xiao Ping got out of the car together, and then reminded him with some anxiety: "Xiao Xiao, my old friend is very stubborn. If he really doesn't want to help, please don't blame him for my thin noodles. ”

Seeing Mao Wenqing's serious expression, Xiao Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, that friend of yours saw my pearl." This will definitely not be a problem. ”

Mao Wenqing didn't have Xiao Ping's confidence, he just shook his head lightly and took the lead in the alley. At the end of the alley there is a courtyard fenced with a bamboo fence. Although it is now close to early winter, flowers and trees are still flourishing in the small yard. A scene full of life.

Mao Wenqing stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door, and after a while, someone came out and opened the door.

As soon as the courtyard door opened. Xiao Ping was taken aback. The door was opened by a seven-foot man, whose head was already higher than the door frame, and his rough hands and feet were like a powerful center in the NBA. However, judging from his gray hair, he should be in his fifties, and his tall figure is already a little rickety.

"Da Xue, long time no see!" Mao Wenqing greeted the big man first, and then said happily: "Let me introduce you, Xue Cheng, the best pearl craftsman in the provincial capital." Xiao Ping, my good friend, I am here to ask you for help this time. ”

Xiao Ping originally thought that this big man was the family of the pearl craftsman, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he learned that he was the craftsman himself. Looking at the other party's fan-sized palms and carrot-like fingers, Xiao Ping really found it difficult to associate this rugged man with the delicate pearl processing work.

However, Xiao Ping has also seen the world, and knows the truth that "people should not be disguised". He quickly restrained the surprise in his heart and greeted Xue Cheng with a smile: "Master Xue, hello. ”

"Hello." Xue Cheng nodded angrily to Xiao Ping, and said hello.

However, Xue Cheng didn't seem to be happy when he saw Mao Wenqing, and after greeting Xiao Ping, he frowned and said to him: "You brought an inexplicable friend to me for help?" I've already told you, don't bother me about it in the future! ”

After listening to Xue Cheng's words, Xiao Ping was also a little crying and laughing, this guy was too direct. He was still beside him, and he was already complaining, didn't it make Mao Wenqing very embarrassed?

Mao Wenqing was obviously accustomed to Xue Cheng's temper, so he just smiled slightly apologetically at Xiao Ping, and continued to try to persuade Xue Cheng: "What you said is that if you have an ordinary job, don't bother you, but the pearls brought by Xiao Ping are all of the highest quality, and you will definitely be interested in it after reading it!" ”

Mao Wenqing just wanted to persuade Xue Cheng to talk nonsense, but he didn't know that he was inadvertently crooked and told the truth of the matter.

Xue Cheng was also moved by Mao Wenqing's words, hesitated for a moment and then gave in: "Then come in." But I'll be the first to say the ugly thing, if the pearl is not in good condition, I will never do it! ”

After leaving this sentence, Xue Cheng turned around and walked into the house, and actually left Xiao Ping and Mao Wenqing behind.

Looking at Xue Cheng's tall back, Mao Wenqing smiled bitterly and said to Xiao Ping: "Xiao Xiao, Da Xue is this stinky temper, don't take it to heart." However, his ability is indeed good, and you will know the Tao when the time comes. ”

Of course, Xiao Ping didn't bother with Xue Cheng, but just smiled faintly: "It's okay, people with ability will always have a little temper, I can understand." ”

"Come in, what are you muttering outside?" Xue Cheng's impatient voice came from the room. Xiao Ping and Mao Wenqing looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the courtyard of Xue Cheng's house together.

Xue Cheng moved quickly, Xiao Ping and Mao Wenqing had just entered the courtyard, and he had already come out of the house with a table and a chair. Xue Cheng didn't even look at the two of them, he directly put the tables and chairs in the courtyard, and after sitting down at the table, he said with a big grin: "Take out the pearls and take a look, I repeat, the pearls are not good, don't expect me to do it." ”

Xiao Ping didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the small bag containing the pearls and put it in Xue Cheng's big hand.

As soon as Xue Cheng's hand touched the small cotton bag, his expression immediately changed, and he involuntarily muttered: "It's all quite big, it seems to be full of beads, not bad!" ”

Seeing that Xue Cheng had just touched the pearl inside through his pocket, he had already known the size and shape of the pearl, and Xiao Ping had more confidence in him. It seems that Mao Wenqing is right, this big man does have some skills, which also makes him look forward to Xue Cheng's craftsmanship even more.

Probably knowing the shape and size of the pearl, Xue Cheng's expression became serious. He took a dark wooden plate from a drawer under the desk and carefully poured all the pearls in his pocket inside.

The "......" pearls roll in a wooden plate with a very uniform sound, showing how standard the shape of these pearls is.

In the morning sun, the pearls in the wooden plate are full and shiny, showing a standard perfect circle. Whether it is a black pearl or a white pearl, it exudes a charming halo that is simply dazzling. Only those who have seen this scene with their own eyes can truly appreciate the meaning of the word "jewels".

Rao is Mao Wenqing is well-informed, and he was also stunned when he saw this batch of pearls. He involuntarily approached and looked at the pearls carefully, but his eyes were glazed, and he could not find the slightest defect in them.

Generally speaking, as long as it is a natural pearl, there will be some flaws. However, Xiao Ping's pearls can be described as perfect, and there are no flaws or anything at all.

This made Mao Wenqing a little worried, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Ping in a low voice: "Xiao Xiao, these pearls are so perfect, where did you buy them?" Don't you fall for someone else's trick and buy man-made goods, right? ”

Knowing that Mao Wenqing was thinking about himself, Xiao Ping was about to tell him that there was no problem with the authenticity of the pearl, but Xue Cheng had already roared loudly: "Mao Wenqing, you have a good time with your jade, you know the quality of this pearl!" This is a real natural pearl, listen up, it's an all-natural pearl, not a cultured pearl, not a fake made of glass or plastic! ”

Mao Wenqing had absolute confidence in Xue Cheng's attainments in pearl identification, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard his words, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "According to what you say, these pearls are all superb?" How much should that be worth? ”

"A merchant is a merchant." Xue Cheng glanced at Mao Wenqing disdainfully and said: "Seeing such a good pearl is not to admire, but to ask how much it is worth first, it is really a big scenery!" ”

Strictly speaking, Xiao Ping is also a businessman, so he also wants to know how much these pearls are worth, so he seized the opportunity to ask: "Master Xue, since Boss Mao wants to know about Lu Dao, you can tell him, so that he will always worry about being uncomfortable." ”

Xiao Ping is the director of pearls, and Xue Cheng also has to give him some face, and after glancing at Mao Wenqing, he stretched out a palm and said, "These pearls are at least worth this amount!" (To be continued......)
