Chapter 19: Fifty to Fifty Thousand
After carrying the stones from the upper floor to the courtyard, finding a place with a faucet, Le was ready to begin the cleaning work.
There are iron brushes and brushes in the bag, as well as BingTong and cotton balls, because the white stone skin on the stone has a strong adhesion, so Li Le prepared BingTong medicine and iron brush.
Then Li Le gently brushed it on the white skin with an iron brush, not too hard, Li Le was afraid of hurting the original epidermis. But after a while, the white powder continued to fall off the stone, and then Li Le cleaned it again before continuing.
It took about an hour and a half for Li Le to brush the white stone skin and stone skin, but the rest of the stone skin needed to be treated with Bingtong.
"Brother, what are you doing?" A pleasant voice came from behind Li Le.
Li Le looked back, only to find that Tang Xin didn't know when he had come behind him, "What about brushing stones?" β
"Brush stones?" Tang Xin's face was puzzled.
"Hmm!" Saying that, Li Le squatted down again and continued to clean up.
After soaking the cotton ball with propion, Li Le wiped the remaining area after the brush was brushed.
At this time, Tang Xin also squatted beside him and looked at him curiously.
"Brother, what are you doing with this?"
"Clean up the impurities out of this."
"And then?"
"Then it depends on what the pattern looks like."
"And then?"
β¦β¦
Li Le said to Tang Xin while cleaning up, but she didn't understand this, she was just pure curiosity.
After more than an hour of cleaning, the whole stone was finally cleaned up, not only the white skin, but also other places. If you can use a brush, use a brush, and if you can't brush it, wipe it with propylene Tong.
The last time it was taken out of the water, the whole stone was smooth and round, and the whole pattern took on a complete appearance.
The smile on Li Le's face became more and more obvious as he looked at the pattern.
"Brother, why are you smirking?"
"Huh? Is it that obvious? β
"Hmm!" Tang Xin nodded his little head very sure.
However, this also made Li Le happy, originally just curious to buy back a stone, and did not have much hope, but at this moment, when the pattern cleaning was presented in his eyes, the white texture was combined like the same eye, although it was a little blurry, but this form came out.
"What do you see with these white streaks?" Li Le pointed the stone at Tang Xin and asked.
Tang Xin looked at it for a long time, and then tilted his head and thought, "I don't know." β
"Do you look like eyes?" Li Le reminded.
Tang Xin looked at it for a while, then stood back again, and then said in surprise: "It's really a bit like it!"
"Looks like fifty dollars has picked up a leak!" Seeing that Tang Xin could also see it, Li Le said with a smile.
"Brother, did you spend fifty yuan to buy this?" The little girl doesn't understand the meaning of picking up leaks, but she doesn't think it's worth buying a stone for fifty yuan.
"Yes, don't say fifty, now I'm happy to let me spend five thousand."
"Huh? Can such a thing be worth five thousand? The little girl was surprised, although the family has money, but usually He Yueling will not let her spend lavishly, after all, she is still studying, so five thousand yuan is also a big number for her.
"I mean, I'm happy to pay five thousand for it, and I can't say how much it's worth now." Li Le really didn't know the price, because first, he didn't know much about the current market, and second, he only knew that the value of the stone would definitely not be less than 10,000.
In his previous life, after all, he was mainly engaged in the carving industry, and later he basically focused on jade. Qishi has only been slightly contacted after 10 years, and as for the current market in 02, he really doesn't know.
"I'm going out now, do you want to come with me?" Li Le couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Tang Xin's appearance. But this girl has never disliked herself, and she is not at all like He Yueling's meanness, but more kind and simple. So Li Le is also ready to take her out to play.
"Okay! Okay! But my mom ......."
"It's okay to go out secretly, or it won't be long before you go, I'll leave." With that, Li Le prepared to go out.
Tang Xin is in a hurry this time, He Yueling is usually very strict with her, she has to be on time when she comes home from school, and she is mostly asked to practice the piano or something during the holidays, and rarely let her go out to play.
At this moment, she was forced by her mother's strictness, and she especially wanted to go out to play, and at this moment she was struggling with how to choose, seeing that Li Le was leaving. was also in a hurry to grab Li Le's arm.
"Let's go, nothing can happen, everything is with me." Li Le didn't laugh when she looked anxious, but felt that her sister was really poisoned by her mother, and she lost a lot of childhood fun.
Just like a nestling that is protected in its nest, it will never learn to fly.
Hearing Li Le's steady words, Tang Xin struggled for a while, and finally bit his lip and relentlessly, "Then let's go, let's go and get back quickly!" β
Not long after the two went out, they arrived at the cultural relics market on Xudong Road, and Li Le held a stone at the moment and walked directly into a shop called Stone Record.
The boss was sitting in front of the coffee table drinking tea at the moment, and was a little surprised to see Li Le come in with a stone.
But when Li Le directly turned the eye-patterned side of the stone, the boss immediately put down the teacup in his hand and walked over.
"Little brother, do you want to?"
"No!" Li Le snorted at the stone in his hand, the meaning was obvious.
The boss looked at Li Le's appearance, he was only in his twenties and very young, thinking that he was a stunned young man, and there was a delicate little girl behind him, not like a person who understood the market, so the boss asked tentatively, "A thousand?" β
Li Le rolled his eyes and looked directly at the boss with contempt, "Are you stupid for me?" β
As he spoke, he prepared to walk out the door.
When the boss saw it, he was anxious, and immediately shouted: "Little brother, don't go, let's discuss it again, or you can make a price."
But Li Le ignored him and walked directly towards the door, without looking like he was about to make a move. Tang Xin didn't know what his brother thought, so he had to follow him out.
After finishing Li Le without any stop, after a few stores, continue to the second one. The boss offered a price of 5,000, but Li Le ignored it, didn't listen to his persuasion, and went out directly.
After seven in a row, Li Le did not continue, and one of the seven bosses offered the best price of fifteen thousand.
But Li Le really didn't want to buy it like this, although this stone was a windfall, but let him touch it and naturally wanted to sell it as high as possible, after all, he still had a lot of foreign debts.
And although he didn't even sell the seven houses, the news spread, which is also Li Le's original intention.
At this moment, he was holding the stone and squatting in the middle of the few shops he had entered, with no intention of selling or leaving.
Sure enough, after a while, someone came, including the owner of the store, some who heard the news, and some who joined in the fun.
"Little brother, how about showing me the stone in your hand?" The speaker was a man in his fifties with glasses, and his body still looked very strong.
Li Le did not refuse, and handed him the stone in his hand. The stone is not big, flat in shape, and it is not very tiring to hold in your hand.
The man looked at it for a moment, and then said to Li Le, "Ten thousand eighteen, how about giving me this stone?"
Li Le didn't answer, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the meaning was already obvious.
"Twenty thousand!" The man ignored his actions and directly added another two thousand.
Tang Xin was already surprised at the moment, she was originally very skeptical that Li Le said that this stone was worth five thousand, but at this moment, she saw that someone had already made 20,000 happiness but still had no intention of making a move.
At this moment, she only felt that her heart was beating so fast, and she really wanted Li Le to buy it quickly, but seeing that Li Le was not in a hurry or in a hurry, she didn't dare to say much, she just pulled the hem of Li Le's clothes with her hands.
Li Le turned back and gave her a reassuring look. Then he continued to reach out to the man.
"Twenty-five thousand, little brother, I want this stone." A voice rang out from all of a sudden.
Li Le turned his head and saw that it was the highest boss who had just become a monk.
"Twenty-seven thousand." People with glasses continue to increase their prices.
"Twenty thousand eight" came over again to catch the excitement.
"Thirty thousand!"
β¦β¦
The price quickly rose to 38,000.
Li Le just stood and didn't speak, as if this price war had nothing to do with him.
"Forty thousand, no matter how high it is, I don't want it." The man with glasses gritted his teeth and shouted directly to 40,000. The others were largely silent when they heard the price.
Li Le also knew that the price was about the same, although he was expressionless and calm, but his heart was churning like a river. He was far from expecting that this stone would sell for 40,000 yuan.
He was just about to export and promised to sell. A voice made him stop again, and his heart churned again, "Forty-three thousand!" β
This is an old man in his sixties, and the stone is in his hand at the moment, and it is obvious that he has not been in a hurry to see the stone for a short time.
"Forty-five thousand!" The glasses wore two thousand again, but there was also a painful expression on his face, obviously just said that more than 40,000 was not just a lie.
"Fifty thousand!" The old man didn't think much about it, and directly increased it to 50,000.
The one with glasses finally stopped shouting up, as if he had given up.
"Young man, your stone is worth the price, and my old man will not take advantage of you." The old man seemed to be very charitable and sincere.
"Yes, Yu Lao is a senior in our industry, and the price he said is definitely ** not far from ten."
"The price given by Yu Lao must be the most sincere."
As soon as Yu Lao spoke, there were many people to help, and it was obvious that the old man still had a bit of weight in this area.
"I just like this stone, do you think you can accept the price?" Yu asked again.
"Okay, at the price you always said." Li Le saw that it was impossible to go any higher, so he readily agreed.
"You can go directly to the bank with me now, and I'll transfer money to you. Take the stone first, and then give it to me when you're done. As he spoke, Yu Lao returned the stone to Li Le, and then led Li Le outside.
Li Le saw that Tang Xin was still standing there a little sluggishly, so he shouted, "Xin'er, let's go!" β
"Huh?" Tang Xin couldn't react at this time, it seemed that his brother spent fifty yuan to buy a stone in the morning, and then washed it twice, and it became fifty thousand yuan in the afternoon. The price of this first surprise has increased tenfold, and at this time it is not a surprise, but a shock.
"Brother, are we dreaming?" Tang Xin followed behind Li Le in a daze, and said a little dizzy.
Li Le pinched the little girl's red face with his hand, "Does it hurt?" β
"It hurts!"
"That's not a dream!" Li Le replied in the affirmative.
Following Yu Lao, watching Yu Lao take 50,000 yuan and hand it over to him, Li Le also gave the stone to Li Lao.
"Brother, did we really make 50,000 yuan like that?" The little girl really saw the money before she dared to believe that it was really fifty to fifty thousand, and she was excited at the moment.
"Hmmm! Give me your ID card and I'll get you a card? β
"What are you doing with a card?" Tang Xin asked curiously.
"Save some money for you and keep your own pocket money." Li Le was going to leave Tang Xin 10,000 for her own flowers.
"I don't want it." Tang Xin shook his head and firmly refused.
"This is for you by my brother, this is called the person who sees it, do you understand how to share the spoils?"
"Brother, I really don't want it, I don't lack money to spend, it's not easy for you to live alone, there are many places to use money!"
As soon as Tang Xin's words came out, Li Le was a little moved, he didn't expect his sister to think so much about himself. Seeing that Tang Xin refused to take out his ID card, Li Le had to apply for a passbook first, and then saved 40,000 yuan.
"No, you take these, my brother is already very happy when I know that you think about my brother, this is my brother's intention." Li Le handed over the remaining 10,000.
"Don't."
"Take it!"
"I really don't want to!"
There was such a scene at the door of the bank, Li Le kept letting him hold it, Tang Xin kept shaking his head, and the two tossed for a long time. Later, I really couldn't resist this girl, Li Le dropped from 10,000 to 2,000, and forced this girl to accept it reluctantly.
"Let's go, what do you want to eat, what do you want to buy, brother will take you there." Li Le said proudly at the moment.
"Let's go get ice cream, then!" The little girl squinted and looked very happy.
"Okay, let's go eat HΓ€agen-Dazs!"
When she arrived at the place, Li Le bought ice cream but was robbed by the little girl to pay for it, and then took her shopping without going, pulling Li Le to go home, so that Li Le had no chance to charge back the big money.
Seeing the little girl jumping up and down happily beside her, Li Le also felt warm in her heart.
At this time, she really thinks that her sister is very considerate, growing up in a wealthy family, but she doesn't have any princess disease, which is not easy.
"Brother, don't say that you made money when you go home!" As he walked, Tang Xin turned his head and said to Li Le.
"Huh? Why? β
"Dad wants to know that you have so much money, maybe he won't give you money to spend in the future."
When Li Le heard this, he suddenly had a feeling of ridicule, and he really didn't think about it. This little girl, if He Yueling heard this, would she angrily scold her for turning her elbows out.
However, he didn't think to mention this matter to Tang Chongming, first, he still owed foreign debts, second, Liu Yunyao still had more places to use money, and third, he also wanted to keep some money as start-up capital.
Originally, I thought that I would explain to Tang Xin when I got home soon, but there was no need to do it at this moment.
"Okay, brother listens to you!"
"Hmmm! I found out that you have really changed this time, brother. β
"What's changed?"
"Be so smart, be so good at making money, eh...... And it became very kind! β
Li Le listened to her praise in front of her, but the next sentence made him suddenly feel guilty, and he also shouted indignant for the original Li Le's actions. has such a sensible sister, but she doesn't know how to cherish it.
"Xin'er, brother asks you a question, my brother was not good to you before, why are you still so good to my brother?"
"Actually, Dad told me about Aunt Li, you haven't had a good time alone all these years, and my mother has always treated you like that, so I have to be even more good to you, after all, we are a family! Are you right? β
"That's right! We are a family and you will always be my good sister! Li Le felt a warm current stirring in his heart at this moment, and the entire atrium was slowly baked. This is the real family, the real home!
"You will always be my good brother!" The little girl also smiled happily, and smiled very sweetly.
Touching the little girl's head a little dotingly, Li Le suddenly felt that her body was full of endless power.
When he returned home, only Tang Chongming was sitting alone in the living room, and He Yueling was gone.
"You two went out to play?" Seeing Li Le and Tang Xin together, and his daughter was still happy, Tang Chongming also showed a kind smile on his face.
"Hmmm! I went out with my brother for a while, and he bought me ice cream to eat! The little girl ran to her side, and Tang Chongming said coquettishly.
"To be an elder brother is to love my sister, and I'm happy to see that the two of you get along so well." Scratching the little girl's nose, Tang Chongming's eyes were full of pity. Li Le couldn't help but smile when he looked at this scene, he really hadn't seen Tang Chongming like this.
Then Tang Chongming took out his wallet again, took out 2,000 yuan and said, "Xiaole, tomorrow you go out with Xin'er to play, and use these 2,000 yuan."
Li Le just wanted to refuse, but saw Tang Xin take the money and hurriedly ran to his side to hand over the money, and blinked his big eyes all the way.
Li Le shook his head at her slightly, but saw that the big eyes suddenly turned into a pitiful begging look, which made Li Le almost laugh out loud, and he only now realized that the girl really had some acting talent.
Li Le smiled slightly and took the money.
The little girl just wanted to show her joy, but the next moment it turned into a look of chagrin. I saw Li Le take the money, but he walked straight to Tang Chongming and put the money on the coffee table, "I still have money on me, I'll just invite Xin'er to play tomorrow." β
"You can have some money on you, take it, as long as you have fun tomorrow."
"That's right! You're still studying, how much money can you have. The little girl rushed directly to Li Le, didn't allow him to speak, and took the money in her hand, and then turned her head to Tang Chongming, "Dad, brother, don't just take it with me, I'll be in charge tomorrow." β
"Whichever of you can take it!" Tang Chongming also laughed a little when he heard his daughter say that he wanted to be in charge.
The little girl took the money and shook it towards Li Le, with a smug look, which means that you can't refuse this time.
Li Le was a little helpless, this girl seemed to be eager to stuff all the money into his arms.
He Yueling appeared at the table at dinner in the evening, but she still looked a little uneasy, and her expression when she looked at Li Le was also cold.
Li Lezhi didn't feel anything, he was used to being like this for many years, and he didn't expect such an attitude to change once or twice. Isn't it always said that the road knows the horsepower, and after a long time, it will naturally be able to understand.
But Tang Xin quietly handed over a reassuring look, meaning that Li Le should not care.
In the evening, Tang Chongming chatted with Li Le for a long time, mostly on some topics of life and study, after all, in his eyes, Li Le was just a child without any social experience.
Li Le didn't feel bored, anyway, he could answer whatever he asked, he still felt a little confused about Tang Chongming's relationship now, anyway, he couldn't call the title of Dad for the time being, and Tang Chongming seemed to understand this, and he didn't seem to care much about the problem of title. To be honest, Li Le thinks Tang Chongming's impression is still good. From his point of view, in fact, he only occupies this body, and the soul itself has nothing to do with Tang Chongming. Although the memory of another Li Le had some influence on him, he could feel the hatred in his memory, but when facing Tang Chongming, reason occupied his thoughts, allowing him to automatically ignore that hatred. Tang Chongming slept relatively early, and he was about to go to rest at about 8 o'clock. Li Le also returned to his room, thinking back on the journey along the way, which seemed to be quite good. I don't know what happened to Liu Yunyao, Li Le remembered the cold figure in a daze, and slowly entered the dream.
