Chapter Forty-Six: The Grimace Bracelet

Chen Jianjun heard Xie Bin praise of the yellow rosewood so amazingly, and asked, "According to what you say, this is all a treasure?" ”

Xie Bin smiled, "That's natural, otherwise how can it be sold so expensive?" ”

Chen Jianjun listened and pointed to the few logs piled up in Xie Bin's house and asked, "How much did it cost?" ”

Xie Bin didn't speak, and was in a slap.

"Five hundred thousand? Or five million? Chen Jianjun was a little unconvinced.

Xie Bin nodded and said: "Five million, this is still discounted, otherwise, even if it is 10 million, people may not be willing to make a move." ”

Chen Jianjun touched the expensive wood with great interest, shook his head with a smile and said, "Awesome, this is really something that rich people play," said with a smile: "How much does it cost to make a string of bracelets?" ”

"The bracelet is cheap, you can make it with leftovers, and the workmanship is simple, a string of thirty or fifty thousand is enough," Xie Bin explained: "But Brother Heizi wants to play, I'll give you two strings." ”

Chen Jianjun nodded and said: "Okay, then I'm welcome, haha, you don't have to spend money to buy mountaineering equipment, I'll get you a set, it's definitely not an ordinary thing." ”

Xie Bin nodded, it would be best if Chen Jianjun could help him get a set, he hadn't played with these things himself, and he didn't even know where the store where he bought these things was. After all, Chen Jianjun has been a soldier and often plays, and his vision is definitely stronger than himself.

Then Chen Jianjun left with the registration form, saying that he would notify Xie Bin when he left. Xie Bin himself is not an otaku, and he has run around before, but he has never traveled with others like this, so he has more expectations in his heart.

Moreover, in the past, Xie Bin's range of activities was within Ludong Province, and he had only been to Yu Province as farthest, and only twice. Moreover, Xie Bin went to Yu Province twice, and he was blinded and came back with a pile of fake broken porcelain. It is precisely because of this that Xie Bin simply stopped playing antiques and devoted himself to wood carving.

Yun Province, on the other hand, is completely different from the northern region, where there are many ethnic minorities and the mountains and rivers are blue, which is very suitable for tourism. Another is Yun Province, which borders Myanmar, which is also a distribution center for jadeite rough and jewelry, and Xie Bin also wants to see how big it is.

It is said that when Xie Bin was making jade materials, he had been to Pingzhou and Yangmei, but he had really never been to other places. So I also have a mind, if I have the opportunity to get a hand in Yun Province, isn't the Mu Feng family doing jade business? I guess I have it in stock at home.

Within a few days, Chen Jianjun sent a set of mountaineering equipment, including a mountaineering bag, trekking poles, mountaineering shoes, jackets and trousers, and a tent, in addition to a military kettle, a compass, a solar flashlight, protective glasses, gloves, ropes, and a saber.

The saber is definitely a standard military color, Xie Bin held it in his hand and looked left and right to touch, he really couldn't put it down, I don't know what material the handle wrapped in the hand is very comfortable to hold, non-slip and sweat-absorbing and in line with the hand shape, and the blade is a dark color, I don't know what material is painted, only the blade flashes a thin cold light.

The back of the knife against the handle has serrated teeth, which are sharp and fine, like dense snake teeth, which makes people tremble a little when they look at it. And there is also a multi-functional dark blade on the back of the handle, which can be opened to open the cap or something, like a simple version of the Swiss Army knife.

Looking at Xie Bin's love to put it down, Chen Jianjun laughed and said, "How is it?" Satisfied? ”

Xie Bin nodded, "Thank you, Brother Heizi, but I'm not afraid of being checked, right?" "You know, this guy is a blade, an absolute murder weapon. Just after opening his mouth, he immediately scolded himself for being stupid, there is a necklace, who can find out if it is put in the space?

Speaking of which, in order not to attract attention, Xie Bin still rarely uses the necklace space, and he almost forgets the necklace space these days.

Chen Jianjun naturally didn't know what Xie Bin was thinking, waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, as long as you don't use this to kill people, who cares about you?" Besides, we drove by ourselves this time, and we didn't have to go through the security check or anything, so no one could find out. ”

Xie Bin nodded and asked, "How much did these things cost?" How can I see that it's not an ordinary guy? No wonder Xie Bin asked. In the past, Xie Bin thought that a set of equipment would cost tens of thousands of yuan, but two days ago, he checked on the Internet and found that the cheaper ones were indeed a few thousand yuan, but the more expensive ones were even more than one million.

And the set that Chen Jianjun took was obviously not a few thousand yuan, and there were so many additional parts, which was definitely not low, so Xie Bin felt that he needed to ask, if it was too expensive, he would just not take the money to make up for it, and he would have to find a chance to repay this favor in the future.

Even if Chen Jianjun thinks it doesn't matter, Xie Bin can't be unaware.

Chen Jianjun smiled, "It's not worth much, it's about the same as your two bracelets," said the rosewood bracelet in Yangyang's hand, "I'm not as rich as you, I can only choose the most cost-effective equipment, as for the saber in your hand, it's my brother's own collection, I'll give it to you." ”

Xie Bin nodded and said, "Then thank you Brother Heizi," he said curiously: "What are the collections of Brother Heizi?" Light saber? Is there a ......?" he said, stretching out his index finger and pulling it out.

Chen Jianjun laughed, "No, you really think this is the United States, but if you want to play, I have a way, except for sniper rifles, other models can make you enjoy." ”

Chen Jianjun's words Xie Bin is itching in his heart, guns and cars are always a man's dream, but Xie Bin has grown so big, let alone a real gun, he has never even touched a toy gun. When I was a child, I didn't have the money to buy it, and when I grew up, I was not too embarrassed to play with toy guns, but I played some shooting games.

But the game naturally can't be compared with real guns, and with Chen Jianjun's identity, it's really not a big deal to go to the army to play, after all, their family's power is there. Thinking of this, Xie Bin smiled and nodded, "Then thank you Brother Heizi first, I'll send you a good thing another day." ”

"Okay, it's a deal, you guy doesn't show the mountain and doesn't leak, but there are a lot of good things," he said, touching the bracelet on his hand.

Xie Bin smiled, Chen Jianjun gave him such a set of equipment, and the bracelet Xie Bin gave to Chen Jianjun was naturally not an ordinary product. If it is an ordinary bracelet, even if it is made of rosewood, it is not worth much, after all, there are few consumables and the workmanship is simple.

But Xie Bin gave Chen Jianjun these two strings, and each bead had a "grimace" on it, that is, the boil scar on the yellow rosewood, and around the boil scar, Xie Bin also carved some simple patterns along the texture of each bead.

The pattern of huanghuali wood is originally more beautiful and elegant, and now Xie Bin has carved different patterns on each bead with scars as the main body, including auspicious clouds, flowers and plants, and some are also made into human figures. However, there is only one string like this, and although the other string is also engraved with some superficial patterns, there is no natural grimace, and the value is much worse.

Ordinary people make beads, they use scraps or leftovers, and the value is not high. But the one with a grimace is different, this is all cut off from the main material, and some pick out a grimace, which may turn a large piece of wood into waste.

Therefore, the value of Xie Bin's grimace pattern bracelet is much higher, and it is easy to sell it for more than 100,000 yuan.

It's not that Xie Bin is stingy or calculating, but people get along with others, and sometimes you have to pay attention to these places. Just like two friends, you invite each other to dinner, every time you invite him, you have to order two dishes and two bottles of wine, but when he invites you, it is ramen ramen every day, it doesn't matter once or twice, will you feel annoyed after a long time?

The relationship between friends needs to be managed and maintained by each other, otherwise they may become alienated at some point, and it is possible to turn their faces and become enemies.

Chen Jianjun and Xie Bin don't care about this little money, but they won't suffer big losses in vain, no one is a fool. Even if the value of these items of two people is not very equal, at least they have the same mind, and let the other party know that they also value each other.

Just like Xie Bin, when he gave the bracelet to Chen Jianjun, he explained the rarity of this grimace bracelet. In this way, no matter how much Chen Jianjun's equipment is worth, he will not be unhappy, because Xie Bin has done his best.

What could be more important than a dedicated friend?

This time I went to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the time was set for after August 15, so Xie Bin was not in a hurry, and prepared several items he prepared one by one.

August 15 is the Reunion Festival, Xie Bin is having dinner with his father-in-law's family, but unfortunately Li Jingjing is not in the country, otherwise it will be a real reunion. The girl didn't cry when she called, but just said something short about her parents.

Don't look at Li Jingjing's previous cold goddess appearance, but after being with Xie Bin, she slowly became able to speak, probably a catharsis after not seeing each other for a long time.

And the old man was very interested in the gift sent by Xie Bin.

Xie Bin didn't say goodbye, but a yellow rosewood Taishi chair and a pair of rosewood sawdust pillows.

Huanghuali wood has strong medicinal value like sandalwood, Xie Bin found someone to make pillows from the sawdust he collected, and just two of them were given to his mother-in-law, and the Taishi chair was specially made for his father-in-law Li Guohui.

Li Guohui's study is decorated in an antique style, completely in ancient Chinese style, and the furniture inside is also very complete, so naturally there will be no shortage of such a Taishi chair. But compared to Xie Bin's one, it is much inferior.

Xie Bin specially found a carpenter to do it, completely by hand, and after it was done, Xie Bin personally carved some patterns. Generally the chairs are rarely carved too intricate suddenly, except for some decorative furniture.

But Xie Bin carved a lifelike picture of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest on this Taishi chair.
