The weather was fine, the sky was clear just now, but when it was almost dark, the wind was fierce, and the streets were full of sand and dust.

Pedestrians on the road are speeding up.

Sister Zhao and a few employees were looking at the weather and complaining: "Hey, as soon as the weather changes, there will be fewer customers in the store." Business is panicking, it's almost time to get off work, the weather is like this today, let's clean up early. ”

Several employees began to take their own responsibilities and prepare for the closing of the store.

Sister Zhao began to count the day's business payments and was ready to fill in today's business report.

Today's turnover is the lowest this month.

At half past seven in the evening, I got off work on time.

Sister Zhao set up the security alarm system, looked at the red indicator light at the door and began to flash work, and then left the store with everyone.

It started to rain, so everyone joined together and put together a taxi and left.

At eight o'clock, there was no one on the street, only a few security guards walking around.

At this time, two people were looking around with their brains probed.

A security guard found out and came up to him and asked, "What are you doing, it's off work here." ”

The man hurriedly handed over a Marlboro and said, "Brother, aren't you here to shop, it's raining so hard, let's hide from the rain here for a while and leave." ”

The security guards stared at these two people for a long time, and when they looked at this person who was dressed well, they said with confidence: "You can't stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." ”

There is also a square nearby, and there is really no place to go to take shelter from the rain, so the security guards let them hide here for a while.

Who knew that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't stop at all.

I don't know what happened to the weather this year, it rained so heavily.

A few security guards stopped patrolling the streets, and they didn't know where to hide.

At this moment, there is not a single pedestrian on the street.

Look at the time on the watch, it's already half past ten in the evening.

Due to the heavy rain, the street lights were not as bright as usual, and the dim light flickered in the rain.

At this moment, a white van drove up and stopped on the side of the pedestrian street.

A few men in black raincoats came down from above, and they entered the pedestrian street with strange expressions.

Several people did not make a sound, as if playing a pantomime, and several people came to the gate of a courtyard together by gestures alone.

I saw that one of them skillfully unlocked the door, leaving one person to guard the door, and the other people all entered the courtyard.

"Brothers, start quickly, get the things and leave, don't rub around." The leader quietly confessed.

The courtyard they entered was the small courtyard behind Zhang Xiaoqiang's shop.

The door to the room was easily opened again, and it was easy for the group to enter.

By the light of the flashlight, the stone was found.

The leading man's voice said with some excitement: "That's it, carry it away." ”

The four men hurriedly faced the big stone and began to exert all their strength, but as soon as their hands touched the stone, the electricity rushed over at once.

"Damn, what the hell is this, why haven't I seen it?" These people are also professional thieves, but today they encountered this thing.

After looking at it clearly, I realized that it was a net, covering it.

The threads on this net are as thin as a hair.

The leader brought an insulating rod and tried to pick the net open.

But as soon as the stick touched the net, the current of the net became even greater, and the man with the stick was electrified.

It seems that so many days of preparation are about to fail.

At this time, one of his subordinates handed over a pair of gloves, and the experience of being electrocuted just now made him even more cautious this time.

Little by little, he came to the stone and tried to take a closer look at it with a flashlight.

At this time, there was a louder noise outside the door.

All of a sudden, more than a dozen flashlights shone through.

The lights came on.

The six men were surrounded.

It was Wu Mo who came with someone.

"It turned out that it was a few of you who wanted this baby, and you didn't look at it, whose goods were moving." Wu Mo kicked at the leader.

Six people stood there, their backs together.

All four of them had a guy in their hands, and they also held the sticks in their hands tightly.

But there are more people in Wu Mo, and there are still outside.

This formation made these six people a little nervous.

The thief Wu Mo at the head knew him, and he said: "Old Scar Zhao, you actually brought someone to touch my things, don't you want to mess around?" ”

The surname Zhao looked like Wu Mo, and he also approached him to confirm that he didn't recognize the wrong person.

"It turned out to be Brother Wu, and it was a lot of offense. I'm not just listening to someone's instructions to get food for my brothers. I didn't know that this was your target, but I didn't want to touch your goods if it was you. ”

Wu Mo said: "Don't bother talking so much, say, who asked you to come?" ”

The surnamed Zhao didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to say that he was instructed by John, saying that he would give 50,000 yuan after the matter was completed.

Wu Mo sneered, then turned around and walked out of the house, called his brother, and said, "Brother, the fish has been caught, what should I do?" ”

Wu Qiang said: "Let it go, don't do things too much, warn." We're just asking for money, as long as they don't get in the way of our business in the future. ”

Wu Mo listened to his brother's words and called out the surname Zhao.

"Zhao Da Scar, I won't pursue this incident, it's all on the road, I don't want to do things too much, you can go."

Zhao Da Scar rubbed his ears, a little unconvinced.

Wu Mo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, if you meet my work in the future, just let your brother make way." ”

Zhao Da Scar said to Wu Mo: "It's really interesting, no wonder people call Wu Song." For your mercy today, brother, I remember it. ”

He took his men with him.

Wu Qiang also called Zhang Xiaoqiang and told him about John sending someone to steal stones.

Zhang Xiaoqiang was thinking in her heart, thanks to the extra layer of thought at that time, otherwise they would have stolen it.

This foreigner is really despicable enough.

Wu Qiang said: "You don't have to worry about it, I'll let Wu Mo watch it in the store for you at night, see you tomorrow." ”

Wu Mo obeyed his brother's words, he left two people in the store, and then took people back by himself.

Along the way, he was also talking to his subordinates about how the net covering the stone was so magical.

Several of his brothers said: "The Fang family is a rich family in the end, everything advanced can be used, and being rich is good." ”

Wu Mo said with a smile: "Don't envy others, everyone has personal blessings." ”

Everyone talked and laughed and drove away.

Wu Mo went to his brother, and he told his brother about the anti-theft net on the stone.

He said: "Zhang Xiaoqiang, I don't know where she got it, she is quite defensive. If I had known, we wouldn't have had to her so much. ”

Wu Qiang said: "You don't understand this. Regardless of whether our trip is redundant or not, at least Zhang Xiaoqiang has to be good for us. Let her feel that the two of us brothers are helping her in a solid way, and we will point to her to make a fortune in the future. ”

The next morning, Fang Aobai and Zhang Xiaoqiang came to the store together.

Luckily, they were just coming for the stone, and nothing else was destroyed.

Sister Zhao was blaming herself, she thought that she didn't lock the door properly to let this gang of thieves in.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Sister Zhao, it's none of your business, you just need to be more careful in the future." ”

Because it's a weekend, the shop is starting to get crowded.

Zhang Xiaoqiang, Fang Aobai, and the martial brothers were in the backyard.

Wu Qiang said: "The good craftsman is about to arrive, I will ask Wu Mo to pick it up in the afternoon." It's a good piece of material that can't be wasted. ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Yes, this time I have to carve a national treasure-level treasure so that everyone can take a good look." ”

Wu Qiang asked: "Mr. Zhang, after the completion of this time, will you immediately find a good home?" ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, she wanted to use this jadeite treasure to hype it up, so that more people could know and understand the value of jadeite.

It is even more important to let that John know that the Chinese can also independently develop jadeite rough and do not need to rely on foreigners.

As long as it is a good product, you are not afraid to find a buyer.

The big stone continued to be placed here, and several people left the store together.

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to cooperate with the martial brothers anymore, she always wanted to develop independently.

But there are some things that have to be solved by these people in the rivers and lakes.

The carving master that Wu Qiang said has arrived.

This time, the master is said to be a national treasure.

Ordinary people can't be invited.

He also heard about this rare treasure this time. Masters love rare things, believing that only these things can leave immortal works.

To become famous, you have to rely on these things.

It's not that the rich ask to carve a feng shui game or something, it's not what the master needs.

Any work must have a good substrate. A good substrate will become a work of art and even a rare thing that can be passed down to the world.

watched an auspicious day of the zodiac, and several people came to Zhang Xiaoqiang's store together.

In the back room, I lit incense early.

The best tea has been prepared, and the water is taken by driving to the mountains more than ten kilometers away early in the morning.

When the stone was presented in front of the master's eyes, the master's hands began to tremble.

He circled the stone a few times.

The small translucent flashlight looked and looked, touched and touched.

"From the outside, it's a good piece of material," he said. I wonder what it's going to look like inside? ”

Wu Qiang said: "Based on my experience, the inside will not be bad, otherwise how could I invite you to come?" ”

The master said, "I need a quiet room, and I need to communicate with the stone well, this is a sign of respect for the baby." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang made a gesture of invitation and let the master come to the next room.

It is full of furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties, antique.

The master looked around and said, "Yes, yes, bring the stone over." ”

Wu Mo did so.

Wu Qiang secretly confessed to his younger brother, and he stayed here for the past few days, accompanying the master.

Wu Mo must have agreed.

Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Wu Qiang with some doubts, Wu Qiang called her aside and said, "Even if it is a rare treasure, the master has to think about it carefully to see what it can be made." The carving is up to the master, and if he needs to finish it here, he has to move all the tools. ”

The master spoke again: "When I'm here, don't let anyone disturb me, if there is anything or need, I'll just go to Wu Mo." ”

Fang Aobai wanted to ask about the price, but he didn't ask.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Master, you can stay here with confidence." Every morning, the spring water is delivered on time. ”

At this time, Wu Qiang specially confessed that this master is a tea addict, and he especially likes spring water to make tea. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang sent someone to drive to the mountains in the morning to get water, and the spring was named by the master.

Even if he wants the water from this spring to take a bath, he can do it, because this person's reputation in the industry is too great. Several national jades are from his hands, living fossils in the jade carving world.

Leaving the master's Wu Mo here, everyone else can leave.

Zhang Xiaoqiang and Wu Qiang went to Sanqin to see the sales of traditional handicrafts for farmers.

The clerk said: "Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect that the cloth tiger shoes to sell so well, I can't believe it, those are all sewn by some old ladies with their own hands." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang was holding a pair of palm-sized tiger shoes in her hand, and she clearly remembered that the Li family's grandmother was best at making shoes.

What mille-feuille soles, tiger shoes, in her hands are like works of art.

This tiger shoe is also a kind of nostalgia for grandma.

Wu Qiang looked at the shadow puppet, and he said: "I know this shadow puppet, I think we have such a big place in the store, how good it would be if we could have a live performance of shadow puppetry." It can allow more people to interpret shadow puppet art and increase the customer experience on site. ”

This is a good suggestion, you can consider it then, but I don't know if it's easy to find an artist who can perform shadow puppetry.

Wheat straw paintings are also a good selling commodity, and now they can be sold for more than 500 yuan in a large amount.

They are all landscape paintings, which follow the basic principles of Chinese painting, and are very ornamental and artistic.

Some large hotels and restaurants in Yanjing have come to order huge wheat straw paintings for decoration.

There are also several five-star hotels, and their own souvenir shops, which have also begun to order goods for sale here.

This is a good reaction from the market.

Some time ago, Yang Guang came over and greatly appreciated the artworks of these farmers from the perspective of an artist and entrepreneur.

He said: "Individual commodities are more refined, I am going to hold an exhibition in the country, leave a place for your Sanqin scenery, and welcome you to bring your works over." ”

Hearing this good news, Zhang Xiaoqiang was of course very happy.

She called her father.

Because Ge Yan was in charge of wheat straw painting in the village, she hoped that Ge Yan could be a representative and go to France to participate in art exhibitions.

Zhang Yongchang was very happy, he said: "I also want to go and see, is it okay?" While I can still walk, I want to go around and see the world with your Ge Ma. (To be continued.) )
