Chapter 3 Cutting Jade

"Here, here!"

When Li Mu saw Jiang Mingyue, Jiang Mingyue also saw Li Mu, and suddenly a smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and she hurriedly beckoned to Li Mu: "I've been waiting for you for a while, and when I eat noodles for a while, I will punish you for adding two more boiled eggs to me!" ”

Li Mu laughed, sat down opposite Jiang Mingyue, and put the milk tea on the table: "Add ten braised eggs." Now, that milk tea on the street. ”

Jiang Mingyue smiled: "Ten? Then I can't eat it, so I'll change it to braised tofu, tofu rolls or something. ”

She took the milk tea, took a cup for herself, and inserted another cup into a straw and pushed it to Li Mu: "Oh, is this store still open?" I remember the little girl who sells milk tea, she shouldn't be too young now, right? ”

Li Mu smiled: "I should be married, and now my body is a little swollen, and I am two or three times fatter than before." ”

Jiang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "It's really fake?" I remember that the little girl was very beautiful. ”

She is wearing a light blue and black windbreaker, a white shirt underneath, white slacks, neat and straight clothes, a bit of professional attire, and her outstanding temperament is even more flattering, which makes people know at a glance that it is a rich woman, or the feeling of being a rich person herself.

It stands to reason that people dressed like her will never appear in small noodle restaurants, five-star hotels, and high-end restaurants with strong fumes and worrying hygiene, which is in line with her painting style.

Compared with five or six years ago, she has shed her immature atmosphere and has become a mature and intellectual woman, exuding amazing charm in her every move.

At this time, he covered his mouth and chuckled, and the majestic place on his chest also trembled slightly, which made people feel endless reverie.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing Li Mu looking at his chest, Jiang Mingyue's pretty face turned slightly red, and she glanced at Li Mu: "Why are you still so colorful?" ”

Li Mu smiled: "It's hard to help it, it's hard to help it!" I didn't expect that after a few years, the goddess of the past became more and more beautiful! ”

Jiang Mingyue: "Cut, virtue!" ”

Li Mu smiled: "It's better to eat noodles, right?" Big bowl and small bowl? ”

Jiang Mingyue said: "Just a small bowl, I can't eat spicy now, I will get acne when I eat chili, it's very troublesome." ”

"Roger."

Li Mu turned to look at the boss below: "Boss, two bowls of plate noodles, one large and one small, the big bowl should be wide noodles, put more chili peppers, and the small bowl should not be spicy, but thin noodles." Well, give me a copy of all of your toppings. ”

The owner of the restaurant turned around in surprise: "I have a lot of toppings, can you two eat them?" ”

Li Mu smiled: "Don't worry, I have a lot of food, I can't eat it, we take it away, we can't waste it." ”

The boss didn't ask any more: "Okay, you two waitβ€”β€”! ”

He lengthened his tone and began to pick up a few pieces of dough and throw them down.

Jiang Mingyue approached Li Mu: "Eh, my amount of food is much smaller now, if you can't finish it for a while, the old rules, you have to be responsible for sweeping the tail." ”

Li Mu smiled: "No problem! I'm eating more now than I used to. ”

When the two used to study at Wencheng University, Li Mu often took Jiang Mingyue to this snack street to eat, and the most eaten was this beef plate noodles.

In fact, this beef plate noodles are spicy and salty, and many women avoid it, but many hard-tasting boys are eager to like it.

Li Mu himself has a strong taste, likes to drink spirits, and eats heavy oil and spicy food, so in the noodle category, he is especially fond of plate noodles, and has recommended this noodle restaurant to Jiang Mingzhu more than once.

At that time, I only thought about recommending what I thought was delicious to the people I liked, but I didn't think about whether Jiang Mingzhu liked it or not.

Now that I think about it, Jiang Mingzhu, who was born in a wealthy family, has always had a light taste, and may not like this kind of salty and spicy noodles, but because of the recommendation of her boyfriend Li Mu, I am afraid that I can only force myself to like it.

She has been in love with Li Mu for two years, and when she comes out to eat, most of them are in the small restaurant at the school gate, eating some simple meals, ramen, plate noodles, simple stir-fried dishes, and occasionally going to eat some simple meals, grilled fish or something, which can be regarded as a luxury.

But she never showed any dissatisfaction, and when she ate noodles with Li Mu, she could add an extra braised egg, and she could be happy for a long time.

At that time, the happiness between lovers was really easy to satisfy.

When the noodles were served, the boss personally put a plate of toppings in front of Li Mu: "Don't waste it!" ”

There are more than a dozen kinds of braised meatballs, dried tofu, kelp rolls, braised eggs, sausages, etc., and the plate is full of a plate.

Li Mu sandwiched a braised egg and put it in Jiang Mingyue's bowl, and took a bite of dried tofu himself: "It's still the original taste!" ”

Jiang Mingyue glanced at Li Mu with a smile: "Eh, you know how to be polite." I remember that in the past, I always served you food, but you never served me food. ”

Li Mu smiled: "Aren't you a little flattered?" This braised egg is not a white clip, when you sell the stone for a while, you just open a high price! ”

Jiang Mingyue: "Isn't it?" You're too utilitarian. To put it this way, your braised egg is too valuable, can I not eat it? ”

Li Mu raised his fist, shook it in front of Jiang Mingyue, and said viciously: "Don't eat? Have you ever seen a big fist in a casserole? Brother Mu also dares not to give face? Hmph, you don't want to ask what Mu Ye does! ”

"Poof!"

Jiang Mingyue suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you!" Let's eat noodles first, I haven't eaten in a small restaurant for a long time. ”

After eating a meal, Li Mu ate very comfortably, and when they walked out of the door of the noodle restaurant together, Jiang Mingyue raised her sleeves and sniffed it, frowning and said: "The smell of the noodle restaurant is too big, and now the clothes are smoked." ”

Li Mu smiled: "It's okay, I don't dislike you!" ”

Jiang Mingyue: "I hate it! ”

Walking out of the snack street, the two came to the nearby parking lot, Jiang Mingyue looked at Li Mu: "Where's your car?" ”

Li Mu pointed to the nearby domestic Dongfeng SUV: "Na, this is it." ”

Jiang Mingyue held her forehead with her hand, and was speechless: "You are too improvised, with your salary income, a medium-sized car should be fine, isn't it a bit too low-key to drive this kind of car." ”

Li Mu was puzzled: "The performance of this car is okay, the space is quite large, and sometimes it can pull goods, I feel very good." ”

Jiang Mingyue shook her head and said, "Normally, you can, but if you want to sell stones today, then you have to get a better car, and you can open more when the price comes." Otherwise, if you really drive a car like this, I can't raise the price for you. ”

She said this, "Eh, what about the stone you are talking about?" Give me a few looks, I've already called a few of the company's jewelry appraisers to wait in the silver building. Don't be worthless when the stone you take is worthless, then I will be embarrassed. ”

Li Mu beckoned: "Come, just let you take a look first." ”

He came to the back of the car, opened the trunk, took out a piece of jade rough and handed it to Jiang Mingyue: "Na, this is the worst piece." ”

Jiang Mingyue took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, her face became serious: "Let's go, let's go to the store and have a good appraisal." ”

Nowadays, major jewelry stores are short of good raw materials, especially jadeite raw materials.

With the improvement of the country's economy, residents' consumption has also reached a peak, even if some jewelry is speculated to sky-high prices, but there is never a shortage of buyers.

As a material imported from abroad, jadeite raw materials have been restricted by small southern countries for many years, resulting in prices rising again and again, which is still in short supply.

This shitty ground stone, which no one looked down on before, is now branded as jade, made into various jewelry, and sold in jewelry stores.

Many merchants do activities and sell the so-called jade jewelry at a discount, which is basically made of this kind of shit stone, and more of them are not as good as shit ground, but as long as they are dyed and dyed well, and polished a little, they can still be sold at a good price.

These fakes are okay for ordinary people, for the rich, this routine can't be used all the time, for the rich and powerful, let alone the routine, it's too late, naturally can't be faked.

Truly top-of-the-line jewellery is still scarce in the market.

Jiang Mingyue's family runs a gold store of jewelry, and she is now the manager of the Jiang family's silver building, so she is naturally very clear about the market of the jewelry industry.

If it is really the old pit glass species, the price of this fist-sized rough stone will definitely soar to a sky-high price, and she can't help but be careless.

On the way to the jewelry store, Li Mu wanted to drive his own car, but Jiang Mingyue refused: "You take my car, well, go and change your clothes, don't let people underestimate you then." ”

"No, I'm just selling a jadeite, why do I need to change clothes?"

"Changing clothes looks dignified."

"Does this have anything to do with solemnity? I'm just a seller, let's pay with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other, won't it be over? ”

"If you want to sell for a good price, you'll have to listen to me."

"Well, you're the biggest today."

Li Mu felt incomprehensible about Jiang Mingyue's way of acting, but seeing that she insisted on doing so, Li Mu could only follow her.

So the two pioneered a trip to the mall, wandered around the mall for a long time, and picked for a long time.

Jiang Mingyue not only bought clothes and shoes for Li Mu from head to toe, but also bought a set of clothes herself, and then drove her BMW radiantly and rushed to Mingyue Silver Building.

That's right, Jiang Mingyue's family's silver building is called Mingyue Silver Building.

At that time, when his parents were just about to open the silver building, it happened that Jiang Mingyue was born, so the silver building was registered as Mingyue Silver Building according to Jiang Mingyue's name.

It can be seen that Jiang Mingyue's parents love Jiang Mingyue.

The two got out of the car and came to the silver building together, and the manager on duty had already come to greet them: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Li, please inside, Mr. Zhang, they are all waiting in the office." ”

Li Mu carried the big bag, looked at Jiang Mingyue, and teased: "Mr. Jiang, please first!" ”

Jiang Mingyue snorted and left first: "Envy, jealousy, hatred, right?" I'll tell you, I'm pretty good right now! ”

Li Mu smiled: "Jiang Shanhe's daughter is naturally not ordinary. ”

Jiang Shanhe is Jiang Mingyue's father, and Li Mu has seen him once.

It was a middle-aged man with a scholarly atmosphere, and he did not show a clear opposition to the interaction between Li Mu and Jiang Mingyue, but he also did not stop Jiang Mingyue's mother's small actions towards Li Mu.

This kind of person is deep-minded, and his joy and anger are invisible, and he doesn't like Li Mu.

Speaking of him at this time, he just teased casually, without any personal emotions.

Jiang Mingyue in front turned around and glared at Li Mu fiercely: "As far as you know!" ”

She took Li Mu through the counter, entered the corridor at the back, took the elevator to the sixth floor, stopped in front of the third door, and knocked lightly.

Moments later, the door opened.

An old man with gray hair stood at the door and said with a smile: "Mingyue is here?" Little girl, what kind of baby is it, let you call a few of our old guys over. ”

Jiang Mingyue smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, are Uncle Xie and Uncle Tian here too?" ”

An old man's voice sounded in the house: "Mingyue is here, come in, let Uncle see, what are the good things?" ”

Jiang Mingyue pushed Li Mu: "Don't take the things over yet." This is a few friends of my father, they are all jade identification experts, what is the texture of your jadeite rough and how much it can be sold for, it depends on their identification results. ”

There were two old people sitting in the living room, plus the old man who opened the door, a total of three old people.

These three old men are all in their sixties, except for the thin appearance of the person surnamed Zhang who opened the door, the old man surnamed Xie and the old man surnamed Tian in the living room are all chubby, their hair is combed without mess, their clothes are also very clean, and their temperament is not bad.

After the two old men in the house saw Jiang Mingyue, they both nodded: "Sit down, where are the things?" ”

After Jiang Mingyue introduced everyone to Li Mu, Li Mu took out a rough stone from the bag and gently placed it on the tea table in the living room: "I am Mingyue's friend Li Mu, this is a few pieces of jade rough stones I brought, and I also asked the three teachers to palm their eyes." ”

"Oh, the stone that opened the window?"

The old man surnamed Xie was called Xie Dongchang, and the old man was the first to take the stone in his hand, put on reading glasses, took out a flashlight, and looked at it carefully for a while: "Hey, Zhengyang green seed?" How is this possible? ”

"Don't be mistaken, can you?"

"Let me see!"

"It's rare to see jadeite with this kind of water."

The old man surnamed Zhang next to him was called Zhang Heshun, and the surname Tian was called Tian Jianguang, and after hearing Xie Dongchang's words, both of them became a little excited and surrounded each other.

After a long time, the three of them gently placed the original stone on the table and looked at Li Mu at the same time.

Li Mu smiled: "Three teachers, how is this stone?" ”

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Xie Dongchang was the first to speak: "Xiao Li, your jade head is good, but only one skylight has been opened, and no one can say how much jade meat is in it." So it's hard to say for the price. ”

Zhang Heshun and Tian Jianguang also nodded in agreement with Xie Dongchang's view.

Li Mu smiled: "Then you can help me look at a few other stones." ”

He took out the remaining stones one by one and placed them in front of everyone: "Three teachers, please take a look." ”

Xie Dongchang and the others glanced at each other, each picked up a stone and examined it carefully, their faces couldn't help but change, and after a long time, they began to exchange stones in their hands and bury their heads in observation.

The faces of the three of them became more and more solemn.

The last three put down the stones, and Xie Dongchang looked at Jiang Mingyue: "Mingyue, these stones, your family may not be able to eat them." ”

Jiang Mingyue suppressed the surprise in her heart and asked, "How much do you estimate these stones?" ”

Xie Dongchang said: "There are a total of seven rough stones here, all of which have opened skylights, and the best one is imperial green or Zhengyang green. With this quality, even if only one skylight is wiped out, it will be worth tens of millions. The rest of the stones, combined, are not thirty million that cannot be lowered. ”

He said to Jiang Mingyue: "Although your Jiang family has a lot of money, I'm afraid you may not be able to pull out so much cash at once." ”

Jiang Mingyue nodded: "Well, I have to discuss this with my family." ”

Li Mu asked: "If this is cut out, can it be sold more?" ”

Xie Dongchang said: "You have to think about it, if you don't cut these stones, they can be worth at least 40 million, not more, if they are cut, the value will shrink greatly." ”

Jiang Mingyue looked at Li Mu: "What do you think?" If you don't cut it, just with this skylight, I am in charge, 43 million, we will buy it in a package! ”

Li Mu shook his head and said: "The so-called immortals are difficult to break the jade, I can't let you take this risk, if this is cut down, your company will lose a lot of money, or cut it out, and then talk about the price, everyone is down-to-earth." ”

Jiang Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay, you can just make your own decisions." There is a cutting machine in the back, and we can cut it now. ”

As the manager of the silver building, she can't blindly let her feelings affect the company's business, and the amount of money involved in this business is really not small, and she doesn't want to take this risk.

Since Li Mu insisted on cutting stones, she didn't persuade her anymore.

At that moment, several people went downstairs together and went to the third basement floor.

There is a rough stone cutter here, and after calling the cutter, the cutter does not dare to cut drastically, and can only grind a little bit from the edge of the skin along the skylight.

The first cut stone was the imperial green rough.

This rough stone is only the size of a fist, but the water head is too full, and the color is also positive, just looking at it gives people a very comfortable feeling.

When the skin was started to be rubbed, everyone at the scene, except for Li Mu, all held their breath and stared, for fear of cutting into a problem.

With such a precious seed material, the skylight is in such good condition, if it really collapses, it will indeed be regrettable.

Seeing that the outer skin is getting less and less, and the area of a touch of green is getting bigger and bigger, everyone is excited.

"It's up! It's up! ”

Xie Dongchang muttered to himself: "The old pit emperor green with such a full head of water, I haven't seen such good material for many years!" ”
