Chapter 169: Bet

After five minutes, the door opened again, Shi Lei thought he was inviting him in, but who knew that the eldest brother actually said that the master was still busy and asked him to wait outside. Then without waiting for Shi Lei to speak, he closed the door with a bang.

Shi Lei returned to the taxi and handed a cigarette to the driver, and the two swallowed the clouds.

"Brother, what are you doing here, such a cow."

"A master of carving, my girlfriend likes the jade he carved, and I want to buy a piece of jewelry to make my girlfriend happy."

"Then you're always waiting for something, you have to think of a trick to get him out. I've heard that these masters of craftsmanship work no matter the time, and now that it's noon, we have to eat. ”

"Yes, but what can I come up with, big brother, why don't you teach me a trick?" Shi Lei said with a smile.

"A hundred dollars, I'll help you get him out." The driver held up a finger at Shi Lei.

Shi Lei didn't say a word, took out a hundred yuan, and slapped it on the steering wheel. The driver smiled, and actually took out four cannon battles called thunderbolts from under the seat.

"Here, brother. These craftsmen, they definitely like to be quiet, and you go over there and screw them together, and it's an absolute sensation. But you run faster, don't let anyone get caught. ”

Rub, there's this thing under this seat? MD: You have this kind of dangerous goods in your car, and you actually smoke cigarettes! But this is really a good idea, although it is a bit damaged, but where does Shi Lei have so much effort to delay here.

He ran to the studio window, twisted the four thunderous leads together, and then lit a piece of facial tissue, placed it near the lead, and ran back quickly.

He ran more than twenty meters before he ran back into the taxi, and then he heard a loud bang.

Shi Lei gave a thumbs up to the driver's eldest brother, this thing is really worthy of the name of thunder, loud enough.

In less than ten minutes, I watched the door of the studio open, and an old man in a gray jacket walked out with an unhappy face, followed by the man who claimed to be a disciple of Master Cao. No need to ask, this old man must be Master Cao.

Shi Lei got out of the car and walked quickly to Master Cao's side: "Hello, Master Cao, more than two hours ago, I called you on the phone and wanted to buy your jade jewelry. ”

"I'm not in the mood today, I'll talk about it next time."

Master Cao happened to be inspired today, but when he was creating, he was interrupted by a loud bang. This place is a little bad, there are some small children around who like to play with firecrackers. Fortunately, he was just changing knives at that time, otherwise his hands would have trembled, and this work would have been ruined!

"Master Cao, I'm from Ice City, I'm really sincere, can you let me see your works?" Shi Lei continued.

"Huh, the work? Did you hear that I was going to seal the knife and want to buy some of my things and take them back to speculate on the high price? Do you know what a work is? Can you tell how good my carvings are? I look at your age, I'm afraid you can't even tell the grade of jadeite, right? The work, in your hands, becomes a commodity! ”

Master Cao regarded Shi Lei as a businessman who hyped jade jade, and he was in a bad mood, so his tone was inevitably a little rushed.

"Master Cao, you misunderstood, I'm really not a hype businessman, I just bought a jewelry for my girlfriend, she likes your craftsmanship very much."

"yes, so what does your girlfriend like? Bracelet? Ring? Earring? Pendant? Look at your blank face, don't you know any of this? Hmph, Yifan, what are you doing in a daze, don't you go to drive yet? ”

The disciple named Yifan went to drive the car over, and then Master Cao got into the car directly. Shi Lei immediately got into the taxi and let him follow.

Master Cao didn't go far, but just stopped at a nearby restaurant, as if he had come to settle lunch.

"Big brother, let's go, let's go down to eat too."

The hotel is not big, and Shi Lei is sitting at the table next to Master Cao. Master Cao seemed to have just finished ordering, and the waiter asked Shi Lei what he was from, and Shi Lei said directly, we ordered the same table as them. This can ensure that the dishes are served together, so that the table will not be finished and their dishes will not be served.

Master Cao glanced at Shi Lei, then opened the cup he brought and drank the tea slowly.

After eating, Master Cao returned to the studio again, and Shi Lei followed back. The meal money was paid by Shi Lei in advance, and the two tables were paid together, and it was only more than 100 yuan, which was very cheap.

"Young man, it's useless for you to follow me. My good work will not be sold to people who don't know the goods. You better go back, next month I will put a few works in the Dragon Carving Pavilion, if you like it, go and order it early. Before Master Cao entered the studio, he turned around and said a word to Shi Lei.

"Master Cao, you said that I don't know the goods, this is a bit too underestimated, right? I don't know anything about jadeite and jade, but if I were to enter your collection, I would be sure to find your own favorite piece, and I would be able to tell what you liked about it. Shi Lei decided to take a gamble, and if he won the bet, then he could buy accessories today, and he would book a train ticket back in the evening. If he loses~~~ then continue to come tomorrow, which is related to his future happiness.

Master Cao stopped and looked back at Shi Lei: "Young man, I don't know where you got your confidence. I have never even seen a few works in my collection, do you want to go in and see them? Okay, I'll give you a chance to go in and have a look today, and if what you say doesn't satisfy me, then please go back, and don't come to me in the future. ”

"And what if I'm right?"

"You're right, I won't charge me for my handiwork, I will sell you a piece of jewelry at the price of jadeite materials, and I can also engrave your girlfriend's name on it."

"Okay, then we'll make a decision!"

In fact, Master Cao did not open his collection room for Shi Lei today, but also took the opportunity to test the disciples of the school. Shi Lei entered the studio, and the decoration inside was quite modern, without a little ancient charm.

In a room with the door open, Shi Lei also saw a pile of broken stones on the ground, and after a long time, Shi Lei learned that the pile looked disorganized, like broken stones used to press pickles in the countryside, called raw stones.

Master Cao took out a large set of keys from his waist and opened a closed door, Shi Lei was the first time he saw an anti-theft door in the house, I don't know if it was to prevent thieves, or to prevent disciples, or both.

"Come and see, young man, these are all the works I have carved over the years but have not been sold. Some are flawed, some have special significance. I put it all according to the time, don't think that putting it in a high place or the largest size is the most precious. Didn't you say that you could see the work that I was most satisfied with, and you could also say why I was satisfied? Let's start, you can't touch it, you can't take it out of the cabinet, and when you're sure, tell me that I can take it out for you. ”

After Master Cao finished speaking, he turned his head to look at his disciple: "Yifan, you also take a closer look, let me see how your eyesight is being trained." ”

Yifan said excitedly: "Thank you Master for your success, I will definitely show you well and not let you down." After speaking, he glanced at Shi Lei with disdain, and at first glance, he didn't understand anything, so he didn't believe that he could come out. Ask for a recommendation, thank you
