Chapter 340: A Stubborn Old Man
"Hu Badao, why am I worse? Jade, regardless of whether it is a large piece or a piece, which one of my Du Dingbian products is worse? ”
The time was more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the address was transferred from the bidding square to a restaurant with a good scale and grade in Pingzhou, with more than ten people sitting in a spacious and atmospheric private room.
Zhou Mingluo, Wang Fengmang, Zhang Lao ......, Huang Jingjing, Ren Liheng, Lin Hao, etc., in addition to these 13 people, the new ones are two old men and two young and middle-aged people, the old man is the jade carving quasi-master character Du Dingbian, and the old man who mocked Du Dingbian in the square is not as good as him in terms of tempering.
This old man is also very fierce, and he is also one of the best jade carving strongmen in the entire southern country, and his name is no less than Du Dingbian. As for the other middle school and one youth, they came with the second elder.
Strictly speaking, there is no bull who can be called a king by everyone in the jade carving world, and the entire domestic jade carving world is just two master-level characters, one south and one north.
However, under these two recognized masters, there are several quasi-masters, and the only difference between them and the master characters is that there are no heirlooms that are enough to cause a sensation.
In the end, the result of jade carving is not better than gambling stones, as long as there are enough wool materials in gambling stones, the level of material selection is high, and the continuous gambling rises more and gambles less, you can crown everyone to be the king, the jade king or the white jade king.
If you want to be famous in the jade carving world, the most important thing is to have good materials, and in your hands to make a treasure that can be handed down to the world, such as the cabbage and grasshopper jade collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, if anyone can produce such a tool, it is definitely a master-level level, but if there is no memorable work, even if the skill is superb but outsiders can't see it, this can only be regarded as a pity.
This is similar to those well-known poets and calligraphers in history, and it is the works that can be passed down through the ages.
But this aspect of the jade carving master is more difficult than the poet, calligraphers and the like as long as there is pen and paper and their own strength on the line, this jade carving, but in addition to the strength of the more important but also materials.
Nowadays, the two jade carving masters in the south and the north in China have encountered the best materials, and have carved out treasures that can be handed down to the world, so they are regarded as masters, and quasi-master-level figures, such as Du Dingbian or another old man, even Chong may be the level of the level, but has not been able to meet the particularly cherished materials, can not carve out too excellent tools.
Now there is suddenly a full-colored glass supreme yellow, how can they not be excited, the material of this material is definitely enough, as long as it can be made into a treasure that can be passed down in their hands, the name of the master will be a matter of course.
It is precisely because of this that the two old men will not hesitate to rush to do it, all of them will strive to be this jade carving worker even if they are working in vain, of course, if it is only for this reason, it will not let the two old people who are both old and virtuous people tear each other down in person, and even argue from the square to the restaurant along the way, making their faces red and their necks thick.
They just have a grudge to do this, but as for what kind of hatred outsiders don't know, many people only know that these two have been like this for decades, as long as they meet, they rarely have a three-minute calm time, and almost every time they meet, they have to fight.
The volume of this glass supreme Huang Yingran is not particularly large, and the shape is also ordinary, without any shape at all, but in the eyes of the two top figures, I am afraid that they have already had their own carving plans, just waiting for the real knife, even if it is enough to seal the knife for this.
"Which one is worse than me? Do you still need me, it's just too much, I just don't want to be embarrassed in front of my peers now. As Du Dingbian blew his beard again, Lian Chong over there also sneered, and said with disdain.
One sentence also made Du Dingbian angry again, his face was red and his neck was thick, and as soon as he rolled up the sleeves of his Tang suit, he seemed to want to fight with the other party, and he was directly frightened that Yizhong and Yiqing, who came with the second elder, hurriedly got up and went to pull the rack.
It was even more so that Zhou Mingluo and the others were quite speechless, the two old men were a lot older, and Jingran was still so moved?
Wang Fengmang was even more crying and laughing, and whispered directly in Zhou Mingluo's ear, "Brother Zhou, I'm really convinced, and asked me to help introduce the jade carver a while ago, I'll just do it, as long as I can solve the best on the public plate, there must be people rushing to find people, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce that these two people rushed to Bai Gan." ”
Boss Wang's eyes are red with envy, and the jade carving master is like a blacksmith to the armory shop owner, basically the scales are inseparable, and many people who play jade will also carve a little jade, but the real well-known master is definitely the person who all jade dealers want to make fun of.
A jade ornament made by a master can definitely double its value and make the store famous.
Wang Fengmang was still smiling this morning, as long as Zhou Mingluo can solve good materials, he will definitely be able to attract people who are very fierce in jade carving to come out to find him, and maybe even jade carving masters can be attracted.
But the latter sentence is just that, with what he thinks, it would be good if Zhou Mingluo could attract some experts, but in the end, how can a master-level figure be so tempted? Unexpectedly, it was in a sentence now, and he was really attracted by Zhou, and two quasi-masters rushed to do it for nothing.
These two characters are also fierce people who they want to have fun with in the whole Taihe line, but they didn't have any chances before, and how many provinces did they end up in the entire southern country? Which province doesn't have a leading jade dealer? What's more, Taihexing is not the leader of the border province, but these two are the two most ferocious jade carving fierce men in more than ten provinces in the entire southern country.
And now the people here envy Zhou Mingluo, not only Wang Fengmang, but Li Yuzhong and Fu Song's faces are even greener.
However, with these words, Zhou Mingluo sighed helplessly and said strangely, "I don't think this matter will end well, you must know that I only have a piece of glass here." ”
The two fierce people in the jade carving world rushed to ask for this opportunity, and now no matter how you look at it, they are arguing, and when the time comes, Zhou Mingluo will definitely choose one, so no matter which one he chooses, it is estimated that the city will let the other person blow his beard.
"Serious disdain, this is the standard to get cheap and sell well." But Zhou Mingluo's words directly made Li Quanzhong look at him, he naturally knew what the other party was, but this kind of thing was a kind of happiness by itself.
"Brother Zhou, I won't help this time, this is a naked show-off!" Wang Fengmang is even more sound.
In fact, during the quarrel between the two old men for so long, they didn't mean to persuade them, but the problem was that they couldn't persuade them at all.
"Die, I'm too lazy to argue!" In the speechlessness here, Du Dingbian over there glared at Lian Chong angrily for a moment, and then turned around and walked towards Zhou Mingluo, "Mr. Zhou, this priceless treasure is naturally in charge, the two of us, which one is more suitable?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, I believe that my eye essence is extremely outstanding, and I will definitely be able to select the most suitable person to sharpen this glass Supreme Yellow." Lian Chong followed Du Dingbian's words and walked in front of Zhou Mingluo with a look of anticipation.
It was as if waiting for Zhou to announce that he was the most suitable person, and only his skill set was worthy of this superlative, but this face was the same as Du Laoyi over there.
Zhou Mingluo was speechless, and could only look at the two old men with a wry smile, how could he choose.
There is no doubt that no matter who he chooses, Cheng Ming is another old man who is not as good as the other party, although he can choose no one, but that will make both old men angry at the same time, this is really a depressing problem.
Fortunately, when the two old men all looked at Zhou and other riddles, they also found Zhou's helplessness, and then glanced at each other suddenly, and Du Ding laughed and said, "Even the old ghost, I think I am confused, although we used to be a little famous, but it is not particularly big, what to take without evidence for Mr. Zhou to choose, so let's try it to see who carves out the tools are good enough, and when the time comes, I will win with my works, Mr. Zhou, what do you think?" ”
After sneering at Lian Chong first, Du Dingbian looked at Zhou Mingluo again, but he took out the meaning of the competition, and he also had to gamble with that side, and only those who won were qualified to sharpen this treasure.
Even Chong also hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "It's better than it, I'm still afraid that I won't be able to?" Let's start now, each choose the tool they are best at carving, and then go to Yu Lao Dianyi to see which one is better, Mr. Zhou, what do you think? ”
Zhou Mingluo was also obviously relieved, it was so good, they all proposed it themselves, and they didn't have to worry about it.
And after the two old men competed, no matter which one lost, there was nothing to complain about, the referee they were looking for was the same outsider, not to be responsible for Zhou, this is the best result, and the other party's mouth Yu Lao Zhou Mingluo now knows, that is, the recognized jade carving master in the south, although the two in front of him are also old men, but they are also fifty or sixty years old, and Yu Lao is already in his seventies and close to eighty years old, and he is also old and virtuous.
"Okay, since that's the case for the two of you, let's do it." Obviously, wiping a cold sweat, Zhou Mingluo also smiled and realized that these stubborn old men were really not good.
"Okay, then it's decided, Lian Chong, the matter between us must not be delayed for too long, I can tell the time in advance, if in the end Yu Lao's evaluation of our works is not very different, then whoever makes it in a short time will win." Hearing Zhou Ming's head, Du Dingbian was also overjoyed, and hurriedly opened his mouth to look at Lian Chong again.
"That's of course." Even Chong did not show weakness, and directly affirmed his head.
And a matter that was originally a dispute ended in this way, but it also saw that everyone else in the private room was quite speechless, and the memory contest between the two quasi-jade carving masters? Wang Fengmang and the others even raised infinite expectations in a speechless voice, they really wanted to witness the whole process with their own eyes, but unfortunately everyone knew that they could not be a bystander, I am afraid that the next presentation will have already taken over, and this matter can only be a pity.
Even Zhou Mingluo felt a little regretful, but now he is mostly excited, things are always growing towards a good goal, with this matter, he finally got acquainted with a few fierce people in the jade carving world, I am afraid that in the future, he will no longer be worried about the lack of jade carvers in his jade shop, or that sentence, he can't ask Du Dingbian or Lian Chong to do ordinary jade carving in his shop, but don't these two have any disciples and grandchildren? As long as there is enough.
"Eat, eat, Du Lao, Lian Lao, please take a seat."
"Yes, open table!"
In Zhou Mingluo's thoughts, Wang Fengmang and the others over there also laughed and got up to round the field
