Chapter 610: Top Treasures
The little golden cat paused in front of a fist-sized piece of seed material, gave Xiaocao a look, and saw her bend down to pick up the piece of jade before continuing to walk forward. It didn't take much effort, it picked out four or five pieces of seeds it liked, some large and some small, the appearance was delicate and some rough, depending on the situation.
The jade seeds it selected were all in Zhu Junyang's hands at this time. He didn't want his little girl to suffer, so he took one when she chose one, and now he couldn't finish it. Fortunately, none of the stones selected by the small mending stone were too large, and he could still hold them.
Finally, the golden kitten stopped in front of a piece of seed with a skin covered with pores, and its dark golden eyes shone with joy. The aura coming out of it was so thick that it felt comfortable, and it felt like it wanted to stay on it.
The shopkeeper Zhang saw that Miss Yu's eyes stopped at the big seed material of the grinding plate, and hurriedly introduced: "Don't look at the appearance of this seed material, it belongs to the 'original skin of the sand hole hemp pit', the hemp skin of the appearance of this seed material looks very fine, it is fine, and the chance of opening a good jade is still relatively large." If you like, let someone help you move out? ”
"This piece is too big, it's too troublesome to move out, why don't you untie it here?" Yu Xiaocao drew a few lines on the stone under the prompting of the small mending heaven stone, so that the experienced master who had just been ordered to come over nodded frequently.
About two quarters of an hour later, a piece of mutton fat white jade with a color of up to 100 colors, a delicate and moist texture, and no cracks was presented in front of everyone. This piece of mutton fat jade is white and flawless, in excellent condition, revealing milk-like moisturization, and there is a faint sense of warmth in the hand.
The master who came to help solve the stone held this piece of mutton fat warm jade, which was bigger than a basketball, and couldn't put it down: "Little old man, I have opened jade for decades, and I have never seen such a top-level mutton fat warm jade!" ”
As we all know, jade can raise people, especially the best mutton fat jade, which can be said to be hard to find. Looking at the piece in the hands of the calcite master, whether it is the color, texture, or warm and greasy feel, it gives people a warm feeling.
Such a mutton fat warm jade, even if it is a small jade pendant, or pendant, is worth a lot of money, not to mention a bracelet that has high requirements for jade? It is not an exaggeration to describe it as priceless! If anyone has such a grade of mutton fat warm jade bracelet, it can be regarded as a family heirloom and passed down through the ages!
With such a large mutton fat warm jade, it should be no problem for the jade carving master in the shop to make more than a dozen pairs of bracelets. The remaining materials can also be carved into a lot of small flowers, just the value of such a piece of jade, the top of the three years of turnover of Shangzhi Yuzhai! If it is carved into a large item, it is definitely a treasure of the town store, and it is estimated that there are very few that can afford it in the world!
You must know that the evaluation of finished jade products is nothing more than three points: "material", "work" and "meaning". The material is more than one grade, and the price difference is ten times; The first class of workers is ten times the price difference; The meaning is super first-class, and the price difference is ten times! This piece of jade material is definitely the best of the best, and there are many jade carvings in Zhiyu Zhai, and the entire Ming Dynasty is beyond the craftsmanship of the master of Zhiyuzhai, and it can be counted with only one hand. Those who are all masters of the hidden world, and it is easy not to go out of the mountain. As for the "meaning", if the martial master of Zhiyuzhai makes a move, there is no need to worry about it at all.
The shopkeeper on the side carefully took this piece of mutton fat warm jade, squinting his eyes and admiring this rare treasure with an intoxicated face. He has been engaged in the jade industry for almost 30 years, and it is the first time he has seen such a pure mutton fat warm jade boutique.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted his obsession: "Master, are the other jade stones opened?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly woke up: this rare jade has been promised to others by the master. Seeing that the master is courteous to Miss Yu, he will definitely not be willing to pay a large price, and even has the intention of giving it to her. The treasure of Zhiyuzhai's town store! Just leave him!! If this piece of jade could stay in the store, he would be able to see it every day. But...... His hopes were doomed!
Zhu Junyang glared at the shopkeeper, seemingly dissatisfied with his unproductive appearance. He, the owner of Zhiyuzhai, didn't feel distressed yet, he looked like he had been dug out of his heart, liver and lungs.
"Good luck today, it's a good start! Strike while the iron is hot and turn it all on! Yu Xiaocao leaned over and glanced at the so-called mutton fat warm jade, she didn't understand jade, but she just felt that it looked quite comfortable. It's warm and moist to the touch, and it feels good!
Zhu Junyang glanced at her meaningfully: Pretend! You just pretend hard! Is the master blind? You can take whichever stone the golden cat stays on, and this one stays the longest, and as a result, it opens a treasure-level jade. From this point of view, the ones she picked must have a good texture!
Sure enough, as he expected, among the remaining pieces of jade, two pieces of mutton fat jade were opened. Although the value cannot be compared with the first piece, it is also a rare boutique. However, these two pieces are not very large, one can carve a pair of jade pendants, and some small flower pieces. One piece is enough to carve a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets. The others are also treasures in white jade and green jade, and their value is quite high.
The shopkeeper looked at it, and his heart kept dripping blood! If these jades are sold, Zhi Yuzhai's turnover will definitely skyrocket this year, and his reward for being a shopkeeper will definitely be very rich. Right now...... I guess it's all in the soup!!
However, he had some doubts in his heart: This little girl's luck is too against the sky, right? All the pieces have made good jade, is she quite accomplished in jade? No, the masters who purchased jade invited by the store are all old jade masters with decades of experience, and they can't make sure that there is jade in every piece, let alone the quality is quite high! She is a teenage girl, even if she was born to learn jade identification, it is impossible for her to be as good as those masters. Seemingly...... It can only be reluctantly attributed to luck!
"Girl, are you still choosing?" Zhu Junyang saw the little girl playing with the piece of mutton fat jade in her hand, which could be carved into two pieces of jade, and asked softly. Seeing that the little girl shook her head casually, she turned back to the shopkeeper Zhang and said, "Give all these jade stones to Miss Yu to take to the private room!" ”
Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "All ...... Take them all? ”
Yu Xiaocao pursed her lips and smiled, and quipped, "What? I'm afraid that this girl won't have the money to pay you? Don't worry, even if you don't have enough money today, someone will definitely send it to you the next day! Or, the shopkeeper, are you reluctant to give up the best piece of mutton fat jade in your hand? ”
Zhu Junyang's face suddenly darkened, what's the matter with this shopkeeper? Usually looks like a very capable person, why did he mess up today? Didn't you see that the person was brought by the master? It's too bad to give the grandfather a long face! Ye just gave the whole shop, along with you, the minion, to the little girl, and she could stand it!
Afraid that you won't have enough money? Is Dang Ye dead? When did you ever lack silver? Besides, the future hostess will come to the store to get a few stones, and she will dare to grind and chirp. I see that you are tired of staying in Zhiyuzhai! There is still a lack of a shopkeeper in the jade quarry in Western Xinjiang, or do you want to experience a few years in that uncivilized place?
The master's fierce gaze made the shopkeeper Zhang sober up. What is he doing? The master brings people over, naturally he attaches importance to the other party, the whole shop is the master's, the master is not distressed, what is he mixing with as a slave? Hurry up and find a way to make up for it, if you annoy the master, he, the steward of Zhiyuzhai, will be able to do it. What's even worse is that he was angered and sent to the frontier, so he couldn't cry without tears!
Although the shopkeeper Zhang has only been in this Zhiyuzhai for three years, the business in the shop is rising. The master also changed the business model, and the annual turnover exceeded the quota, and there were bonuses up and down. Last year, even the young man who ran the hall received a reward of two hundred taels, which was higher than the usual salary. Not to mention him as the shopkeeper!
Now approaching the end of the year, the account office has begun to tighten the accounting, compared with the turnover of previous years, this year is a big profit market, and the bonus will definitely exceed last year's. You know, last year, he was the shopkeeper, but he got a bonus of 2,000 taels!
Every year, when I go to report to the master, in addition to the greenhouse vegetables and fruits of Zhenbao Zhai and Zhuangzi, they can also compete with them, and the stewards of other industries can only show an expression of envy. Zhiyu Zhai is in charge, that's a fat difference, how many stewards are staring at the position under his buttocks, he can't lose this beauty that everyone envies because of a small loss!
Seeing that the master was unhappy, Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly added: "Miss Yu, you are laughing!" You are the only guest brought in by the master, and it is too much to talk about silver! The minion means that you should take them all now, or ask the master carver to see them, and then discuss with the girl the style of carving jade. And this piece of mutton fat warm jade, is it all carved into a bracelet? Or carved into ornaments? What kind of ornaments are carved into? Experienced master carvers who can give you some advice......"
"Oh...... So that's the case? I thought that the shopkeeper was happy to see the hunt, and he was reluctant to sell this piece of jade! Yu Xiaocao secretly dragged Zhu Junyang, who had a black face and a displeased face, and smiled gently at the shopkeeper Zhang, who was so nervous that he was sweating.
Miss Yu laughed! This jade and the shop are all the master's words, when will it be the turn of the slave to be the master? However, girl, you really have a good eye, and you suddenly picked out such a piece of fine mutton fat jade that is rare in a century. The slave has been engaged in jade sales for no less than 20 years, and it is the first time I have seen such a good jade! ”
From the small actions of the two, Shopkeeper Zhang keenly noticed that Miss Yu was the key to determining the master's attitude, didn't he see that the little girl just pulled the corner of the master's clothes and gave him a warning look, and the master's face immediately improved a lot? Looking into his gaze, he no longer swished and shook the knife. Shopkeeper Zhang has a feeling of the rest of his life.
