As soon as Chen Tianyi returned to Baojun, he naturally sat down at the best restaurant and had a banquet with many celebrities and gentlemen in Baojun.

Li Hu and the mud-legged dog chestnut from the countryside gnawed dry food, drank raw water, prices skyrocketed, and the money they brought to the teahouse was already bottoming out, and the reason why they ran so fast was not that the teahouse sat down again, and the money bag was empty. That's it, the dog chestnut is complaining behind him. The money for painting and working for a month, and the fact that he wanted to open a stone quarry and make stones, except for buying a bald little donkey, actually didn't spend any money on the road, and it was all here...... The results have bottomed out, the stone quarry is seen, and the stonemasons have also visited wèn, but how can you make stone when you go home?

Not to mention going home, I'm afraid I won't have the money for accommodation tonight. Dog Chestnut hung his head and followed Li Hu all the way, but found that Li Hu was behaving abnormally, there was no money, no money, the paper he was carrying ran out, he also went to buy paper, and then asked everything along the street, and when he entered the market, he asked everything, how much is a pound of grain, how much is a cake...... What are you asking for? Let's take a look at the stone field, how much is the grain, cloth, and even cakes and shops? After asking, he also used a hairpin pen to write a record on the stone pinned to the bamboo board. Dog Chestnut wants to make a big noise for him.

Entering the stone field, all the stones are open in front of you. Baojun is one of the important passages into Dengzhou, the east comes to the coral, the west comes to the jade, the south comes to the jade, the north comes to the keel stone, the dazzling, all kinds of colors, all kinds of utensils, some are precious and exquisite, some are huge and unworked, and the eyes are all flowered. Dog Chestnut didn't have the heart to take a look, he was thinking hard, this winter, there will be no money soon, how to stay, how to go home.

He paid attention to Li Hu, and found that Li Hu was surprised at first, and gradually depressed, and finally felt a little more comfortable, and said in his heart: "People are in the field, do you dare to mess around?" Do you dare to drink tea to see the princess? This hurdle in his heart passed, and as Li Hu looked at the stone in the world that day, his hands and feet were even colder.

What kind of stone is in this stone yard?

Are there any ordinary stones?

The keel from the north knocks out the stone, the skeleton of the dragon is clearly visible, which is the most eye-catching, secondly, all kinds of strange mountain stones, some of them are dyed in the upper and lower layers of the forest - red, some are like the sun and warm cooking, the smoke and clouds are curling, some are shaped like antlers, it is said to be from the bottom of the sea, some are transparent and visible, and it is said to be crystal...... Not to mention all kinds of gemstones, not to mention jade and jade. That's what it's called stone. The big bluestone quarried from the mountain at home, the big gray stone, what is that? Li Hu said that he wanted to sell it in the county seat, sell it in Baojun, and sell it in Weibo?

Dog chestnut's heart is trembling.

See?

What do people sell?

Let's not come back and sell the crooked belly stone mill, right?

Li Hu also asked the price in front of Fang Tian Huangshi, and when he heard that it was dozens of taels of silver, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and quickly get in.

He didn't know where Li Hu had the courage to look at it over and over again in his hand.

Chestnut the dog was really about to cry.

How much money was spent, how many days I went out, how many days I walked, how much hardship I suffered on the road, and how much I saw the real stone, this is not the same thing as at home.

Li Hu was sighing, and he was sighing too.

Finally, he complained and said, "You bring our big bluestone, do you want to see if there is one?" You know this, and you sigh. ”

Li Hu raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at him, and asked him, "Why doesn't anyone want it?" It's different. They are playthings, and we are things. ”

Dog Chestnut muttered, "You dare to say that you really think so? Did you sigh just now? Why are you sighing, you know it yourself, we call it stone? You just touched it, do you know that you can't afford to lose if you sell us? If you touch it again, I'll turn around and run. ”

Li Hu laughed and said affirmatively: "No matter how precious it is, don't you want someone to play with it, what's wrong with me touching it?" Can't afford it, can't you touch it? Why is our stone not called stone? What is it called if it is not called stone? That's the real stone, you can't write, will you buy a piece of Tianhuang stone to go home and engrave the seal? You can't eat enough, will you buy a piece of jade to hang on your body? He thought for a moment and said, "We have no money, we can't just get to the place and run out of money." I sighed, I hadn't gone to the stone workshop to see how they made the utensils. I have to sell things as a last resort. He searched around his body, found a large ring, one finger wide, held it in his hand and said, "It just so happens that the stone yard is full of jade, sell it for some money." I'll have to stay for a few days to find out how they can polish the stones. ”

Dog Chestnut unconsciously took his thick ring, and didn't think about putting it on his middle finger, trying to compare it to see if it was a valuable thing, but the ring was spinning on his finger.

Li Hu was struck and said, "This is a wrench, a thumb." ”

Dog Chestnut whispered, "Is this your family heirloom?" It's a pity to sell, isn't it? And also. Is it worth the money? Our family's heirloom is a grouper jade bracelet, which my mother showed in the county, and it was only worth a few taels of silver. ”

Li Hu took the wrench, flicked it in his hand, and bounced it up more than two feet high.

Though he took it back into his hand, Chestnut almost fell to the ground for him, to hold the ring so that it would not fall.

Li Hu said: "What heirloom? I protect my fingers when I practice archery. ”

As soon as the dog chestnut lowered his head, his head bowed to his shoulders.

As soon as he saw that the guys from this gem shop had already greeted them, he took them to the store, and his heart was weak for a while, he leaned to Li Hu's side, and asked timidly: "How much is it worth, you dare to go in and sell it?" After he asked, Li Hu had already jumped up, went up the top steps of the house, and then stretched his legs, he could enter the store, he rolled his eyes, avoided the enthusiastic guys, rubbed around at the door of the store, and slipped away at any time.

In the end, he mustered up the courage and went up, hugging the gray jacket he had only worn when he went out, like a horse and a monkey, alert left and right, and came behind Li Hu.

Li Hu is already accepting the evaluation of others and negotiating with others.

A second shopkeeper looked at the long eyes, and said while looking, "Little brother." You're not worth it. There are all blue, white, gray and black, but it is not common, but this jade, cyan, gray, black, and this kind of white, is not a good thing, and it is not common, how much like a side landscape. ”

Dog Chestnut immediately straightened his half-squatting body, it was a piece of jade, not a broken stone.

Li Hu smiled faintly: "You're gone." Let your courtiers or treasurers be in charge. ”

Dog chestnut turned his back to him and said contemplatingly: "Long eyes? ”

These are two very different words.

He said in his heart, Li Hu is proud, proud in the countryside, and proud in the city.

What if someone beats us?

The man, who thought he was idle, came to take him into a seat and served him tea, and he immediately raised his arm, covered his head, and asked, "Don't hit him in the face." ”

The guy was stunned, the store was stunned to look at the utensils, the receptionist, the second shopkeeper was also stunned, and Li Hu was also stunned.

Li Hu was stunned, because he was afraid that he would be a good thing, and people would think it was tattered, so he smiled lightly and took the initiative to say, "It's from the countryside." Don't blame him for being invisible. He's just trying to amuse you. ”

Dog Chestnut came to his senses, put his arm down, gasped twice, and his face turned red.

Second, the shopkeeper has eye poison.

Such a person, you can be a valuable utensil that he can come up with, and say coldly: "No need." I'm confident I can't be mistaken. ”

The dog chestnut unconsciously pulled Li Hu's back placket, vibrated and wanted him to go.

Li Hu forced the second shopkeeper and said, "Do you know what ink rivers and mountains are around?" This is not variegated, the green background is seed jade, and the miscellaneous ink is muddy. If you really miss it, it's too late to regret it. ”

This is bragging.

Li Hu can also brag.

Dog chestnut thought to herself.

The second shopkeeper hesitated, he actually knew that this must be a piece of jade, at least it felt moist in his hand, but it was just a matter of suppressing the price.

As for what ink is surrounded by mountains and rivers, he has never heard of it.

Is it really a good thing worth a lot of money?

He finally put down his wrench and whispered, "Little brother, wait a minute." After a while, an enshrined man came out with a hat, quietly picked up the wrench, and put his little eyeballs to see. Li Hu unceremoniously took it back, shook it in front of the worship, put it to his mouth and sighed, and handed it over again, the offering was dumbfounded, there was an extra layer of water vapor outside this jade, it seemed to be alive, and the smoke clouds inside seemed to be swimming. The offering was taken back, held it in the palm of his hand and sighed: "It's gone." It's really out of sight. Son. But the little one has really never heard of ink and water, and he doesn't know how to identify it. See smiled. See smiled. You make a price, as long as it's not too much, I'll keep it. ”

Li Hu took a few steps and said with a smile: "Although you are not a pawnshop, I am short of money, I can wait here for your identification...... I only need three hundred taels. Don't turn around and run away because I shouted this price, thinking that such treasures are only sold for three hundred taels. It's very simple, I'm short of money, I'm afraid you won't recognize it, don't. ”

The worship shook his head and handed it back to Li Hu.

He said, "Childe is overestimated. This wrench finger jade quality is not good, and the scraping is too bad, some people are slotted in the jade, but you, it's purely grinded, you don't know that when I see me, I think, whether it is jade or not, I have never seen the real jade will be sharpened by the bowstring, a pit. ”

There is a rule in this line, in other people's shops, the owner did not decide not to, did not let people palm, others can not go up to mix, at this time listen to the refusal, a few guests shouted Li Hu who wanted to leave, to see. Li Hu handed over the wrench, and the first two looked at it, and they both sighed, it seemed that they believed what the worship said, and regretted that one side of the wrench had been scratched, and in the end, this was a group of people.

Three men came to him, and behind him stood servants and attendants.

An apricot-eyed man glanced at the wrench, looked at Li Hu, looked at the wrench, and then looked at Li Hu, Li Hu knew what he was doing and what he was looking at, and the scratches on the wrench were equivalent to the identification of martial arts.

This person is a warrior.

Li Hu was vigilant in his heart.

The man finally nodded, handed it to another guest next to him, and said, "It's not easy to scrape the jade wrench like this." ”

The second guest was sticking to the side of the dog's chestnut at this time.

He picked up the wrench, looked at it for a while, and said: "I haven't heard of it, there are any ink rivers and mountains and clouds, I'm afraid it was given by the little brother himself, but this ink landscape is surrounded by green clouds, but it is elegant and agreeable, as the shopkeeper said just now, the scratches are too heavy, there are many elegant people in this world, and there are not many things with a sense of meaning. ”

Li Hu said with a smile: "If you don't scrape your fingers, your martial arts will be scarce." Wrench, if you use it, you will scrape. ”

In the hands of a third man. The third person was in his early twenties, with a fat face and a smile, he pinched it and said, "If you don't scrape your fingers, your martial arts are scarce." Okay, I'll ask for three hundred taels for Liu Er. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, and immediately put the thumb on the wrench, and found that he was wearing it just right, raised his hand to look at it, and shouted, "Give money." ”

A family member strode up suddenly, came to him, and handed in a silver ticket.

The first guest said unexpectedly: "Liu Gongzi." Sloppy, right? Three hundred taels is not a decimal number. ”

The second guest smiled and said, "Don't persuade him." Where is he buying objects, he is buying civil and military temperament, and this scratching wrench can just be filled. ”

The fat man turned around, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Those who know me, Brother Sendai also." ”

Li Hu quietly picked up the silver ticket, and the dog chestnut was still pinching the flesh on his body like in a dream.

The first guest suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Li Hu's hand to grab the money, prevented him from carrying it into his arms, and asked in a deep voice: "Little brother." I would like to ask, where did the scratches come from? ”

The hand, the muscles and bones were tense, and the big man's face was red, pulling out hard.

Not only words, but also a temptation.

Li Hu remained silent, took his hand away with his other hand, and said, "The iron sand scraper can grind some marks on it." ”

He thought for a while, turned around and found the third person, and said, "Brother Tai mind leaving his honorific name?" In the future, I regret it, so I can take the money and go to my brother to redeem it. ”

The fat man hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "The name can tell you." Take it again? Don't. Little brother. The master sues you, the master is Liu Chang of the Liu family of Baojun, the second oldest in the family, known as the sitting tiger. If you really want to take it again, you can make your master happy and make him think that it is worth it, and the deal will be settled, and you will not regret it. ”

He also pointed to two friends to show off.

Unexpectedly, Li Hu was not interested at all, he had already pulled the dog chestnut and jumped out of the door, and he shouted behind his back: "This country melon seed, there is no etiquette." Seeing Li Hu walking farther and farther, he raised his palm and began to ask people: "Is it worth so much money, is it worth it?" ”

He walked back to the cabinet and shouted: "Let you make a big offering to me to appraise and see if I pick up a leak, I don't believe it, a country melon seed, take a worthless thing, the guts are so fat, so I judge it to be valuable." ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

He was so crisp just now, so he judged it like this?

He shouted differently, the big worship with a gray beard came out, stepped forward in response to "Li Gongzi", asked for a wrench and looked at it for a while and said, "On quality, this number." He stretched out his fingers. Liu Changgongzi smiled and shouted, "Two thousand taels? The Great Offering shook his head. Liu Changgongzi hesitated for a moment, grabbed his finger, and asked, "Two hundred taels?" The Great Offering sighed and said, "Twenty taels." It's not a very good jade. ”

Liu Chang's face twisted suddenly.

The offerings that came out before were also hurriedly picked up and looked at them, and then sighed with their mouths. Da Worship smiled again: "Liu Gongzi doesn't have to be depressed. Although this jade is not good, but the work is good, and the appearance is good, you all think that the water and clouds in it are floating because of the quality of jade, but in fact it is not, it is a unique craft from Dongxia. The so-called white mountains and black waters surround it, and the blue blood book is danqing...... It is from Gao Xian and made by Dongxia craftsmen. When he saw that everyone was stammering, he asked, "What is the matter with you?" I don't believe it. This Gao Xian is known as the land of white mountains and black waters, and naturally likes the monsters between black and white, and they can't make decent things, often to the Eastern Xia, what about the Eastern Xia, not the green cow and white horse, to use the technique to give him a little green, so there is this kind of object, called the white mountain and black water, the blue blood book Danqing. This thing, now in the north, is the market price of Dongxia and Gaoxian is several thousand, and when it comes to us, it is strange, it is worth twenty taels, but although it is not worth it now, it will not be said in a few decades, why? This story alone is worth a lot. ”

The big man who had tested Li Hu roared: "Second son Liu." I'll take the army and get him back for you. ”

The Great Offering shouted, "Oooh. Don't worry. ”

He added: "I just said that jade is not valuable. But the work is good, the appearance is good, and it is not finished yet. This wrench, there happened to be a little accident, didn't you just say that the green was given by the Dongxia craftsman? This wrench is not, this green is natural green, let's estimate this, because we don't have this utensil here, now, Liu Gongzi, since your wrench is a natural white mountain and black water, the blue blood book Danqing, at least worth fifty taels. ”

Turning his head to see that the blind offering was still struggling, and when he finished hazing, he looked again, and the big offering blamed him and said, "Don't ha." That's a deception to your eyes, that's a treasure that has been created. ”

Slowly, he restrained his expression and whispered, "This green was not added. What about this treasure? ”

He wanted to come over again, looked at it carefully for a while, and said softly, "Liu Gongzi." This is not Gao Xianyu. Although it is like, Gao Xianyu is a miscellaneous jade, this one is much warmer, a bit like Lantian jade, and there is a mixture of skin, green bottom, and ink, I almost lost my eyes...... Worthlessness comes second. ”

He asked: "Using Lantian jade to make it, how can Lantian jade find this kind of appearance?" ”

He stared at Liu Chang.

Liu Chang kept panting and said, "Are you sure about it, aren't you creating tension?" ”

The great offering said: "This kind of jade is not produced in the north, this jade is not produced in the north, and the same is true of Lantian jade...... Strange, you say, isn't it strange? ”

Liu Chang said anxiously: "Then how much is it worth?" ”

The Great Offering said, "I don't know. It should be worth three hundred taels. ”

Liu Chang gave him a blank look, stood up and led the people away.

They're thinking about gains and losses.

Dog chestnut is also scheming with Li Hu.

He couldn't help but ask Li Hu: "Is it really so valuable?" How do you have something so valuable? ”

Li Hu said: "It's not worth much. ”

The dog chestnut said again, "Then you lied to them?" ”

Li Hu whispered: "What am I lying to them for? How much a thing is worth depends on what kind of Cheng you like, I think it's worth a lot, can't it? After thinking about it for a while, he planned: "Now that prices are soaring, I asked, three thousand two hundred yuan can be exchanged for huàn to one tael of silver, and three hundred taels is now a million yuan." When we find a workshop tomorrow and see how they process stones, we will buy a horse, and the rest will be converted into money, and then we will go back with the money, the money is becoming less and less valuable, but it is suitable for working money, buy stones. ”
