Chapter 164 [The Three Gorges Stone with Cats]
Early in the morning.
"Mirror! Mirror! Hurry up! It's time to go! Sun Xiaolei's voice rang in his ears, bang, and he kicked the bed twice.
I opened my eyes in a daze and looked at the time on my phone, and just after seven o'clock, I closed my eyelids: "Sleep a little longer, sleepy." ”
"Oh, meet at the school gate at eight o'clock with Jiang Yan, hurry up, waist, you too, get up quickly!" Probably there are few opportunities to travel with beautiful women, how excited Sun Xiaolei's voice is.
I secretly complained in my heart, rubbed my eyes, and sat up from the top bunk. Last night, Waist and Sun Xiaolei scolded Zhu Lei for a long time, not to say that they wanted to teach him a lesson, so that we didn't sleep until one o'clock at night, but as soon as I lay down, Sun Xiaolei's snoring was overwhelming, I woke up from sleep, anyway, I didn't close my eyes much all night, and I was so sleepy that I died. Sighing, I got out of bed with the ladder, went to the toilet to brush my teeth and wash, and after I went to the bathroom with my waist, I washed my hair with the boiling water that Sun Xiaolei made with an electric heating rod, borrowed a hair dryer from Sun Xiaolei, and dried my hair.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Sun Xiaolei walked in front with his hairstyle arranged, and my waist and I followed unhurriedly.
The east gate of Beixin University of Science and Technology.
Jiang Yan, dressed in fashion, stood in the shadow of the dormitory building, and when she saw us coming, she quickly beckoned: "This way." Yeon-yeon wore light makeup on her face, a camisole with delicate ruffle lace, a short-sleeved knitted cardigan with a pink color of lanterns, black jeans and brown canvas shoes, highlighting a youthful and lively femininity.
Sun Xiaolei's eyes lit up: "Beauty is beauty." ”
Waist nodded in agreement.
Walking over, I yawned listlessly, "Got early, huh?" Why are you alone? ”
Jiang Yan pointed to the fifth floor angrily: "Those girls are lazier than the other, I called one by one in the morning, and no one was willing to accompany me, damn, I strongly despise sleeping lazy!" ”
I was sleepy and said, "Let's find a place to eat breakfast first, I'm hungry." ”
"Okay." Jiang Yan led the way to a row of small restaurants on the east side, and saw a few fried fritters and large pots of tofu brains on both sides of the street from a distance, "Mirror, I heard that the jade rough is not easy to find, do you know where Yanjing sells them?" Although her family is engaged in the jadeite business, Uncle Jiang usually only goes to Ruili to buy goods, and never buys the jadeite wool that has been picked up by others from Yanjing.
I said, "There should be Pan Jiayuan, I don't know." ”
"Okay, then let's go to Panjiayuan first."
Our school is near the North 5th Ring Road, far away from the South 3rd Ring Road of Panjiayuan, and after dinner, we took the bus to rush there, and it took about two hours to arrive.
Jiang Yan was lucky, as soon as she walked into the thrift market and asked about the two, an old man pointed to us to a shop in the west row, saying that there were woolen materials there. I looked for it, and I really found it, but this one specializes in jade and jade, and a few pieces of wool on the surface are also things that the shopkeeper is going to gamble on and received from Ruili, and I don't plan to sell them. Of course, Jiang Yan, who can speak well, will not give up this opportunity, and chirps and talks with the boss Hu Tianhai for a long time, and as soon as the man is happy, he transfers a relatively small piece of material to Yanyan at a price of 2,000 yuan.
"Thank you." Jiang Yan paid the bill and grinned as she put the wool into her schoolbag.
Without waiting for her to be on her back, I took it and carried it behind me: "It's too heavy, I'll come." ”
With my relationship with Jiang Yan, she naturally won't be polite to me, "I've also bought the ingredients, what else do you need?" ”
Sun Xiaolei shouted: "Stamps and stamps, I still have to participate in the afternoon competition." ”
"Enough buddy!" Jiang Yan gave him a thumbs up, and then glanced at me: "Look at the people, support the work of our antique club more, mirror, should you also support it?" ”
Tick.
A cell phone rings.
Jiang Yan took out her mobile phone from her pocket and looked at it, and put it next to her ear: "...... Hey, orange beauty, what's the matter...... Fuck you, you talented female rascal, believe it or not, I'll hang up the phone...... Hehe, if you have something to say, let it go...... Well? Too many people to sign up for the treasure hunt? Won't you? I saw less than 80 people yesterday...... How much...... No way! Hundreds? Can't you...... Other schools? Why do people from outside the school participate...... No way! Isn't it just a free appraisal? As for it...... Don't stop, don't stop them, if you want to sign up, you can also ...... outside the school Hee-hee, isn't this our antique club's chance to be a hit...... I'm going to be the president of the company right away, so I have to make this contest more lively...... Good...... Since there are so many people, the rules have to be changed...... yes, in this case, I'll discuss it with the mirror first, and you wait for me to call...... Well, bye-bye. ”
Pulling back the phone, Jiang Yan looked at me excitedly: "This time it's a big game, after we leave, more than 100 people have signed up, including our Beixin University of Science and Technology, and many off-campus ones, all of whom are rushing for free appraisal. ”
Sun Xiaolei was suspicious: "Why can't you choose?" ”
I explained: "If it is purely evaluated according to the price, it is unfair, because the collection is not divided into high and low, such as a pair of walnuts with good color, a century-old lion's head, which already belongs to the top grade of walnuts, but its value is only around 100,000 yuan, and what about porcelain, a slightly more boutique kiln, in the porcelain industry can only be regarded as a middle and lower grade, but the value can be hundreds of thousands, understand?" ”
Waist Zi was surprised: "Hey, you kid knows a lot." ”
Jiang Yan echoed: "That is, my mirror is amazing." ”
"Uh......" Sun Xiaolei shouted: "When did the mirror become your home?" ”
I interrupted: "Otherwise, don't make any of the top ten, just classify it, and divide porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and jade into one category, and only choose the first place, well, other miscellaneous items are also divided into the same way, like stones, the four treasures of the study, the furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, etc., etc., can be listed separately." ”
Jiang Yan clapped her hands: "Good idea!" That's it! ”
She immediately called Tangerine and asked her to announce the classification, and called her aunt Xi Mansha again, saying that there was not enough space in the small classroom, and begged Teacher Xi to help her borrow the lecture hall. The status of the university club in the school is relatively low, not to mention the unpopular club such as the antique club, and there is no activity room of its own at all. Fortunately, Xi Mansha is a school teacher, and with the help of various relationships, it is no problem to borrow a classroom.
"That's right!" Waist suddenly said: "If it is classified, won't we be able to meet Zhu Lei?" ”
Jiang Yan said strangely: "What do you mean?" What happened to Zhu Lei? ”
Sun Xiaolei didn't answer her, and asked, "What did Zhu Lei take to participate in this competition?" ”
Jiang Yan said: "Then I don't know very well, his family is in the antique business, what do you want?" ”
The bell is ringing, and the phone is ringing again.
Jiang Yan picked it up and said, "...... Hey, Zhu Lei, what's wrong...... I'm buying stones in Panjiayuan...... Yes, the rules have been changed, there are too many participants...... Gu Jing? What are you looking for him? Right next to me...... Hey, can you take care of whomever I'm willing to come out with and with whom...... Okay, okay, hurry up and talk about things...... What do you mean...... Why do you ask this...... Oh......" Jiang Yan covered the microphone and asked me, "Mirror, Zhu Lei asked you what you are going to take to participate in the campus treasure hunt." ”
I frowned, knowing that he was competing with me, and said, "...... Stone. ”
Jiang Yan sighed and let go of the hand covering the phone: "He said that the stone, not the jade, the stone...... What the? Then you will also take stones...... Why...... Well, I said, what the hell is going on with you, don't make a fuss, okay...... Damn, who doesn't know that your family is in the antique business, and you can win the championship with any one piece, is it interesting...... Too lazy to tell you...... Hung up! ”
Sun Xiaolei scolded: "This bastard, fucked with the mirror!" ”
The waist said: "Yes, he will take whatever the mirror takes, and it is clearly provocative!" ”
Jiang Yan said unhappily: "Everyone is from the same school, give me a face, don't make trouble, okay?" ”
Sun Xiaolei said: "It's not what we want to make trouble, it's Zhu Lei, after you left yesterday, this guy went back to our dormitory, and said very arrogantly that we should stay away from you in the future, saying that we are helping the poor and not worthy of being friends with you, anyway, those words are very ugly, and no one can bear it!" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately called out angrily: "This guy, who is he, who do I call my brother and brother?" This Zhu Lei! It's getting excessive! Hum! Ignore him! What money is not money? I, Jiang Yan, never look at that! If you are comfortable together, you are friends! Have a bullshit relationship with money? ”
Sun Xiaolei sowed discord and said: "That's right, people who talk about everything are not worth dating!" ”
Jiang Yan glared angrily: "Uncle, I'm so angry, mirror, do you have a good stone in your house?" What do you compare to him? ”
I joked, "Yes, yes, but you can't take it, for fear of scaring him." ”
Jiang Yan rolled her eyes and came over: "How did you learn to brag?" ”
I knew she had to say that, and pointed to the other side of the road: "Go to Shili River, there is a Hongyan strange stone market over there." ”
"Want to buy strange stones? Isn't that cheap? Jiang Yan thought about it and said with a grin: "But it's right to choose strange stones, as far as I know, Zhu Lei's family has a few pieces of porcelain and calligraphy and painting that are very valuable, but there are no valuable stones, the best hibiscus stone seal, the estimated value is only tens of thousands of yuan, it is a low-grade goods, hehe, okay, just buy a stone, and win him!" ”
The waist was not convinced: "Mirror, do you have enough money?" ”
I nodded: "Don't worry, no problem." ”
Jiang Yan said generously: "Just let go of the pick!" Not enough for me to come out! ”
My pure-blooded chicken blood big red robe seal is too earth-shattering, there is no need to move it out, that would be too much for Zhu Lei's face, I remember that there was once a strange stone in the Hongyan strange stone market, if you buy it, it shouldn't be a big problem to win Zhu Lei.
The northeast corner of the Ten Mile River.
As soon as I entered the market, Sun Xiaolei and his waist helped me to get up, and for a while pointed to the Taihu Lake stone in a store for me to buy, and then asked me to buy the Yellow River stone, the few pieces they said were not too expensive, around a few thousand yuan, but if you want to win Zhu Lei with this, it is obviously unlikely.
I didn't say anything, I didn't look at the stones, but looked up for the name of the shop.
Suddenly, a familiar sign flickered into my sight, and I remembered for a moment, well, yes, this is it!
When you walk in, you can see that the store not only sells strange stones, but also crystal pendants. Glancing at the counter where I bought the crystals, I didn't pause, and instead pulled to the glass shelves on the east side. There are not many kinds of strange stones on it, but all of them are high-quality products, such as a brown and black wind-prism stone, like the flowing water of the Yellow River, the price is 110,000 yuan, and there is a chrysanthemum stone that is not big or small, and the crystal texture is very dense, and the high price of 90,000 yuan is also marked.
Sun Xiaolei and his waist secretly smacked their tongues: "It's too expensive, right?" ”
The chubby middle-aged boss smiled: "Compared to other homes, I'm cheap here, how many people, do you want to see that type of stone?" ”
I looked around but couldn't find the target, so I said, "Is there a Three Gorges Stone?" ”
"Absolutely." The boss pointed to the counter behind him: "There are more Three Gorges stones, so there is a cabinet alone, let's see." ”
There are many kinds of strange stones, such as Three Gorges Stone, Taishan Stone, Honghe Stone, Chrysanthemum Stone and so on, and the characteristics of each type of stone are also different. Generally speaking, from the perspective of advocating nature, most of the more expensive stones are not artificially modified, like Taihu Lake Stone, a slightly better character shape Taihu Lake Stone, if you feel that the corners are flawed, you have to use tools to polish it perfectly, the value is not good, and it does not reflect the peculiarity of nature.
But there is one exception - the Three Gorges Stone.
The Three Gorges Stone is divided into more than 200 kinds, in simple terms, the largest category of which is like a landscape painting like the colorful stone species, and the Taihu Lake Stone is just the opposite, most of the characteristics of the Three Gorges Stone are oval not in the shape of its stone, but on the surface of the stone reflects a beautiful picture, or people, or landscapes, or flowers, birds, fish and insects, beautiful. This kind of Three Gorges stone, most of them are processed, the processing here does not refer to the brush to fill in things, but only polishing, polishing, so that the surface is more bright and smooth, the surface of the specific "picture scroll" will not be destroyed, can still perfectly reflect the magic of nature. Like the "small bridge and flowing water" I found with Huairou before, it is comparable to the characteristics of the Three Gorges Stone.
Looking into the counter, there were about thirteen or fourteen Three Gorges stones, all of which had been polished.
Just looking at it, Jiang Yan came over, and pointed to a stone with leaves painted under the glass with her fingernails: "This piece is okay, the price is 40,000, well, if Zhu Lei brings the hibiscus stone seal, you can also win him." After that, Jiang Yan reacted, patted her head and said, "Is it too expensive?" Also, there is no need to spend so much money for the sake of gambling. ”
Sun Xiaolei exclaimed: "Why is it expensive? Forty thousand! My living expenses for several years! ”
I didn't answer, my eyes were still moving around on these Three Gorges stones, and at the end, my eyes moved, and I pointed to a stone without a price tag and said, "Boss, how can you sell this?" ”
The boss looked down: "...... Oh, okay, the young man has good eyesight, this is the best stone in my shop, I wasn't going to sell it, so I didn't put a price on it, well, if you want, give 450,000. "The surface of the stone is very simple, most of it is white, only in the lower right corner, you can vaguely see a man and a woman standing quietly holding hands, as if enjoying the scenery ahead, and compared with the general Three Gorges Stone, the outline of the characters inside is extremely clear, hair, head, neck, arms, thighs, can be seen, so the value is high.
I muttered, "Cheaper, forty-five is too expensive." ”
Jiang Yan was stunned, and hurriedly pulled me: "Damn!" Do you really want to buy it? Stones are good stones! But those tens of thousands of yuan of Three Gorges Stone can still win Zhu Lei! Why spend so much money? ”
I said, "He doesn't have a good stone at home, but that doesn't mean he won't buy it again, this insurance point." ”
Sun Xiaolei was shocked as if he was something: "Winning is a steady win, but it's not worth it, besides, do you have so much money?" ”
I shrugged my shoulders and made it up: "People live a breath, nothing is worthless, if I can win 400,000 yuan, I will borrow some from my parents and relatives, and after the end of this competition, I will sell it again, and I won't lose much money." "I'm talking about it easily, but in fact, if you really buy it and then sell it, I'm afraid it can only sell for more than 300,000 yuan, which is still better.
Sun Xiaolei and his waist are not very knowledgeable, and when they heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yan should have understood the difference between buying and selling, and frowned, "...... Do you need me to borrow you somewhat? ”
"No, I can get it out." I turned to my boss and said, "Okay?" Four hundred thousand. ”
The boss was embarrassed: "You killed 50,000 in one fell swoop, it's too ruthless." ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "It's you who are too ruthless, as soon as you open your mouth, you will be 450,000." ”
After bargaining for a while, he finally spent 400,000 yuan to win this fine character Three Gorges Stone. Touching the smooth skin of the stone, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, wrapped a piece of cloth, separated it from Jiang Yan's jade wool, and gently stuffed it into my school bag. The two stones add up to ten pounds, and the schoolbag on both shoulders falls downward, which is very weighty.
Out of the Hongyan strange stone market.
Sun Xiaolei got carried away and said: "Hehe, this time Zhu Lei is not dumbfounded, 400,000 stones, even if he takes out the Fang Ordinary Tian Huangshi seal, it can't be compared." ”
Jiang Yan agreed: "Yes, it's time to teach him a lesson, kill his arrogance, don't always think that being rich is great." ”
The waist also said: "Yes, the surnamed Zhu would definitely not have imagined that the mirror would dare to borrow 400,000 yuan to buy a stone." ”
In fact, if you change to other Three Gorges stone of the same quality, let alone 400,000, I will not buy 300,000, first, I don't have too strong interest in strange stones, and secondly, it does not have jadeite, bloodstone, Hetian jade as high speed price increase space. The reason why I bought this stone was not entirely to suppress Zhu Lei's momentum, but also the main reason - this Three Gorges Stone is greasy!
It's not as simple as it seems!!
