Chapter 35: I saw her
"I'm very familiar with Jiang Shao, it must be a friendship price, but the girl asked, for the sake of the girl's face, I will only charge a cost price of 80,000 yuan!" The man smiled and replied as he took the card and the jade carving box.
"This costs 80,000, it seems to be cheaper!" Meng Yao whispered, although she was not short of money, and she could take out the 80,000 yuan, but she had never had such a large amount of money as Huaguo in one go.
"Little girl, at this price, you ask Xia Jiang Shao and my old Zhang Ke to earn his money, the texture of this jade is not to be said, even the material of this base is not cheap, if it weren't for the fact that this master has no name, and when the name rings in a few years, it is normal to add another zero!" The old man looked like usual, skillfully protected the jade and put it into the box, then found a paper handbag with the name of the store printed on it, swiped the card, made a reply, and put it in front of Meng Yao in a few minutes, and then gave the card and the receipt to Jiang Yichen.
Just looking at Jiang Yichen smiling and nodding, he affirmed what the old man said, and he saw the shop on the handbag clearly, and felt very familiar, "Those two dragonflies were also bought here before!" And..."Meng Yao remembered that the last time Jiang Yichen gave her the box clearly printed the name of the store.
"The hollow lotus jade pendant, there should be purple jade grapes," the old man who was already sitting in the seat drinking tea replied. "It seems that the little girl is still satisfied with the old man's clumsy work! Ha ha! "It's more pleasant. Looking at Jiang Yichen on the side, he didn't refute, he took a closer look at Meng Yao, didn't speak again, just added tea to them again, sat for a while, and chatted for a while, Jiang Yichen proposed to leave, the old man didn't stay, sent them out, and said a bunch of polite words to welcome them to tea next time.
"Why is it such an old shop, and no one patronizes it, why are things still sold so expensive!" After walking for a while, Meng Yao complained.
"You reverse the order of the last two sentences of the sentence and answer the question yourself!" Jiang Yichen carried the bag and looked at her with a smile.
"Because it's expensive, no one buys it!" Meng Yao thought back to what he had just said, "Then is it true that he just said that he didn't make much money?" After all, he is still not deeply involved in the world, and Meng Yao can't tell the truth from the fake.
"This is almost a friend with you, Lao Zhang, don't look at him like this, he is also well-known in the industry, but his eyes are not very good in the past two years, he wants to be an idle person, drink tea every day, and do not rely on buying jade to live, the stool you just moved is not imitation, it is a thing of the Qing Dynasty of Zhenzong, although it is not royal, but it is also used by dignitaries!" Jiang Yichen smiled slightly, patiently talking to her.
"So, the jade that Brother Yichen gave me before was very expensive?" Meng Yao felt that he was a little hindsight, the old man had a high evaluation of today's jade carving, but when he talked about jade pendants, grapes and dragonflies, his expression was also proud, so the price was not low.
"It's okay, anyway, my salary will have to be handed over sooner or later, and it's good to turn it in this way!" Jiang Yichen couldn't help but tease her again, "It's just that I'm very poor now, can you invite me to watch a movie!" ”
"Don't buy it for me again in the future, I put this thing in a box and put it in the cabinet, and I only take it out occasionally to take a look, don't waste money!" Meng Yao suddenly felt that he was so rich, these noodles had always thought that those things were not too cheap, but eight thousand should be enough, after all, most of them are small pieces, and they must be cheaper than diamonds.
"But I'm afraid that my money will go bad, so it's better to spend it, and besides, you can still see them smile and think of me all the time! That's not a waste! Jiang Yichen smiled even brighter, "But it's really hot, aren't you really going to invite me to the movies?" ”
It was still early, and it was indeed very hot, so Meng Yao and Jiang Yichen found a theater nearby, ordered a large bucket of popcorn and two cups of Coke, and finally Meng Yao finally rushed to pay the bill, looking at Jiang Yichen with a proud look and smiling happily.
Happy times are never too much, after this Jiang Yichen still shuttles between the Jiang family and the company every day, his brows are more and more wrinkled, many times Meng Yao wanted to ask, but he still held back, silently cheered him in his heart, handed him a snack, served him a glass of water, and told him a new joke, which made him smile, and the two got along more tacitly.
Chen Ziqian, who is buried in a bunch of documents here, is holding his mobile phone in his hand while flipping through it, "Master, is there something wrong with me?" ”
"You kid has a good eye, I saw Jiang Shao bring her to our store today, and sold her the jade carving you sent a few days ago! But for your sake, the cost price! A voice on the other end of the phone with a little evil smile and a little hearty voice, "It's just that Master is worried about you, and with you now, I'm afraid it's difficult to win the beauty!" ”
"Thank you, Master, but my relationship with her is not what you think, I don't care! But it's not good to let people misunderstand. Master, I still have some things to do here, and when I'm free, I'll go over and have tea with you!" "Yes, this person is the one who just sold the jade to Meng Yao, and this jade is carved by Chen Ziqian himself, Meng Yao has been under the influence of his mother since he was a child, and he especially likes some exquisite small jade carvings, especially flowers, birds and small animals, and what he especially likes is dragonflies and lotuses, probably to miss his mother. But Chen Ziqian is really busy at the moment, he is also working in a firm while going to school, and when he has time, he will choose a few pieces of jade material to make some small things, and send them to several stores that Jiang Yichen often patronizes, and sell them to him by name, as for how much he buys, he doesn't care very much, because he has good workmanship, and the price of supply is also the cost price of materials, so he is very popular with everyone, but he will only provide new works when this one is sold, which makes the store a little helpless.
"Okay, don't be too busy, pay attention to your body!!" From the first time Chen Ziqian came to the door with his own works with a childish face, he began to think that he was messing around, what kind of things can a twelve or thirteen-year-old child make, after all, he is also a person who has been famous for a long time, and the shops he opened sell some fine products, but such a delicate child, he is still kind enough to persuade him to go out, but he didn't expect him to take out the things.
He still remembered that it was a simple double-sided and patterned round jade pendant, and the kung fu was not particularly delicate, but the technique of hollowing out was still well mastered. "That's not good!"
"Well, I think so too, but I will definitely do better in the future, and I will waste more than a dozen ordinary pieces of material before I dare to do it again!" Chen Ziqian said neither humbly nor arrogantly. In fact, that piece of material can be regarded as ordinary, but looking at the child's resolute eyes, as well as his hands that are not commensurate with his age, he feels that he can really believe him, but after a long time of contact, he knows that his grandfather is an insider, but there is not much contact, the reason why he learned jade carving is because a certain little girl likes it, and in the end he fell in love with this serious and hard-working boy, and taught him a lot of techniques, originally these are generally not easy to tell others, but now most rely on machines, manual less and less, There are fewer and fewer people who can endure hardships, and there are probably few people who want to inherit it in the future, so he asked Chen Ziqian to call him his master, and almost passed on all the skills to him, and in the end, Chen Ziqian's skills are even more powerful than him, but this is really just his hobby because of someone, so he has never been known.
