Chapter 222: Pan Jiayuan

After Leng Shan and Xue Yang went shopping alone, Leng Shan asked Xue Yang where he wanted to go, and Xue Yang naturally said that he would go to a place with jade antiques.

If you want to say that the most famous place in this imperial capital is related to antiques and jade, it is really Pan Jiayuan.

Panjiayuan thrift market is located on the South Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital, covering an area of 48,500 square meters. The market is divided into six business areas, including the stall area, the ancient building area, the classical furniture area, the modern collection area, the stone carving area, and the catering service area. It is mainly engaged in antique items, jewelry and jade, handicrafts, collectibles, and decorations, with an annual turnover of billions of yuan. The market has more than 4,000 business merchants and nearly 10,000 business personnel.

The current market was formed more than 10 years ago, is with the rise and activity of folk antique art trade gradually developed, and now has become an antique spread of folk culture of the large-scale antique art market.

As soon as I entered Panjiayuan'er, a lively atmosphere rushed over me.

I saw that there were countless stalls and shops in this Pan Jiayuan, and there was an endless stream of tourists.

"It's so lively."

Xue Yang smiled and admired, and even the ice and snow on Leng Shan's face that had not melted all year round seemed to have dissipated a little.

Obviously, it was the first time for Leng Shan to come to such a lively place.

Since Leng Shan was the first time he had come to such a place, he naturally couldn't lead Xue Yang the way, but it was already good for a woman like Leng Shan to stay by his side and be pleasing to the eye, and Xue Yang had more thoughts of shopping.

Moreover, Xue Yang himself has a lot of beauties at home, and it is not only because Leng Shan is beautiful to take him out for a walk, but also because Leng Shan is a member of the Dragon Group Assault Team.

Xue Yang originally wanted to exchange feelings with everyone, so that he could have a more tacit understanding on the battlefield, but he didn't expect that all the men ran out, leaving only Leng Shan, Xue Yang naturally had to take Leng Shan by his side, otherwise he would definitely suffer on the battlefield.

Although he had already entered the dragon pattern realm, Xue Yang had been in contact with the Necromantic Clan and knew that a person would definitely suffer a loss if he fought alone with them.

While walking, there was a sudden commotion at the intersection in front of me.

This commotion is not really at the intersection, but a jade store is doing an event, because the event is so attractive, so there are so many people surrounding it, it makes it look like the intersection is blocked.

"Let's see."

Xue Yang smiled with interest, and then led Leng Shan up.

Because there were too many people outside, Xue Yang couldn't see the situation inside, so he smiled and patted a middle-aged man beside him, and said, "Big brother, may I ask, what's going on here, why are so many people around?" ”

This eldest brother was originally upset when he was disturbed to watch the show, but suddenly saw the cold mountain beside Xue Yang, and he smiled brightly.

Everyone wants to show their good side in front of beautiful women, and this man is no exception.

The eldest brother smiled and said: "This store is called Yushi Zhai, which is a time-honored brand of Panjiayuan. No, the 30th anniversary of Jade Zhai was celebrated, and a jade carving competition was held. The owner of the jade stone house did not know where to get a piece of black iron, and claimed that this iron was found from a deep mountain, and it was something in the heart of the earth, and it was extremely precious, worth no less than 300,000 yuan. Whoever wins, gets the black iron. Hey, originally people thought that this black iron was just a gimmick, but they didn't expect this black iron to alarm a master carver who lives in Panjiayuan all year round. This master carver personally participated in the carving competition, just to get this black iron, which shows that this black iron is really a rare object. ”

"Master carver? Engraving contest? Black iron? ”

Xue Yang's interest was completely hooked, he laughed, thanked his eldest brother, and led Leng Shan towards the inside.

"Hey, big brother, your money is gone."

"Wow, whose jade on this ground is trampled on."

"Hey, whose wallet dropped?"

The human wall, which was originally squeezed and couldn't be crowded, was roared by Xue Yang a few times, and suddenly became loose and noisy, and Xue Yang also successfully passed through the sea of people with Leng Shan.

For this unprecedented experience, Leng Shan's face also showed a little playfulness.

It was the first time she had seen someone use this method to get into a storefront.

It's just that what did Xue Yang do when he entered this store?

The answer was soon revealed, and Leng Shan suddenly discovered that Xue Yang had entered the store for the competition.

Leng Shan was very surprised, because in her opinion, Xue Yang was able to have such a high attainment in martial arts, and it already took a lifetime to practice, after all, Xue Yang's age was too young, and he was still very young, how could he have extremely high attainments in the carving world?

Leng Shan has performed many tasks, so he knows some carving, and knows that carving must require a lot of experience, a long time of practice, and hard work to be able to have some attainments.

Xue Yang is so young, how can he be compared to old men like Yushizhai who are competing?

Even Leng Shan thinks so, let alone the people in the store.

At this moment, there are two staff members in Yushizhai, both of whom are young women, beautiful as flowers, and it is easy to arouse people's favor, and the beauty effect is not only widely used in the front desk but also in various industries, as for the boss, he is a man with a slightly round belly who looks chubby, and a pair of attractive ears are very conspicuous.

Hearing that Xue Yang was going to participate in the competition, the boss suddenly narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "Little brother, it's okay to participate in the competition, but we need a registration fee of 1,000 yuan to participate in a competition here." ”

The meaning of the boss is already obvious.

You have no hope of victory, so why waste the $1,000 entry fee?

Today is the thirtieth anniversary of the opening of Yushizhai, so the boss doesn't want guests like Xue Yang to waste more money.

Even the two waitresses looked at Xue Yang with a smile, as if they were expressing the same meaning as the boss.

The five old men and a middle-aged man who were competing in carving all raised their heads slightly, and one of the gray-haired elderly men snorted coldly: "It's really wishful thinking that the kid who hasn't tied his hair is really delusional to use carving to win a prize." ”

These words speak to the hearts of the other five contestants.

Xue Yang ignored this guy, but took out a thousand yuan from his wallet, gave it to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "You only need to provide me with jade materials, and I have my own carving knife." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn."

The boss suddenly smiled: "Well, there are not many young people who are willing to study carving seriously, and your spirit is really valuable, so you can join this competition." Note, the carving materials we use now are the same glutinous rice seeds, don't dislike the quality of the materials, because the competition is everyone's carving technology. ”

"Well said."

Xue Yang laughed, with the strength and realm of the second page of the carving technique now, it didn't matter to him what the material was.

Xue Yang also got on the carving table and played with the materials.

In fact, Xue Yang was thinking about what he should carve, carving his natal object on this occasion seemed to be a bit overkill, and it was a little boring to carve casually, finally, Xue Yang's eyes lit up.

Xue Yang saw Leng Shan, who was standing on the side motionless, like a nail.

Leng Shan is motionless, of course, he is the best model.

Why don't you carve a cold mountain yourself?

Xue Yang knew that he was thinking about carving, but when the surrounding people saw that Xue Yang didn't take out his carving knife for a long time, they thought that Xue Yang didn't know how to start.

One of the beautiful saleswomen smiled and said, "This gentleman, do you need us to prepare a carving knife for you?" ”

Xue Yang reacted at this time, and hurriedly smiled: "No, no, you are busy with yours, I have a knife." ”

As he spoke, Xue Yang took out the bronze carving.

Because Xue Yang was carving while looking at Leng Mountain, the speed was a little slower, and the other six people had already carved half of it, so soon, someone had already carved successfully.

The person who took the lead in carving successfully was the one who sneered at Xue Yang before.

A group of people gathered around, looking at the middle-aged and elderly man who was nearly fifty years old holding the jade unicorn in his hand, and they all exclaimed.

"Wow, this jade unicorn is really vivid, it looks so good, even every fold is carved, it's really hard."

"I can't imagine that our Panjiayuan Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, nothing shows up on weekdays, but as soon as something happens, masters from all walks of life immediately gather."

"Awesome, awesome."

The boss also took the jade unicorn and said with a smile: "The knife work is good, it's just hot...... Hehe, this gentleman, let's wait for the other players to finish carving, and then make a unified comparison. ”

Soon, two more white-bearded old men were carved and they all looked so vivid that they were so amazing that there were even people shouting outside the door to buy them.

The fourth to finish was the middle-aged man who was younger than the old men.

This middle-aged man is about forty years old, he looks suave and elegant, he doesn't say a word when he carves, and he doesn't make too much of a show when he finishes carving, but the carved objects are the most brilliant.

The middle-aged man carved a Thor's hammer, which looks very powerful, and anyone who looks at it will feel a little panicked.

This Thor Hammer not only restores 100% of the appearance of the entity, but also makes people change their mood, which is really not simple.

The middle-aged and old man's face was already ugly at the moment, because even he found that these works here were not comparable to the middle-aged man at all.

Then, the fifth one was completed by an old man, who carved a dragon ring, but unfortunately it still couldn't compare to Thor's hammer.

Now it seems that the middle-aged man has won steadily.

It's just that more people are waiting for the old man who has not yet finished it.

That old man is a very famous master of Pan Jiayuan...... Master Liu Chongguang.

In this Pan Jiayuan, as long as the carved jade has Liu Chongguang's exclusive certificate, then the price will definitely be doubled, because the people of Pan Jiayuan believe in Liu Chongguang's carving skills, so many people are waiting for Liu Chongguang to finish carving.

Time passed minute by minute, Xue Yang never stopped carving, and Liu Chongguang finally put down the carving knife in his hand.

Liu Chongguang breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My carving has been completed. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked over.

I saw that the thing carved by Master Liu Chongguang was a dragon.

Of course, this dragon is the appearance that Liu Chongguang guessed based on what he said, and it must be very different from the real dragon, at least it can't scare people.

It's just that carving is not scary but form and god, although this dragon has no god, but it is tangible, and the carving level is quite similar to when Xue Yang first learned carving, so it can also be seen that this master is extraordinary.

After comparing several works, the final winner is, of course, Master Liu Chongguang's dragon.

It's just that before everyone could cheer, Xue Yang's voice suddenly sounded.

"I'm also a participant, how can you ignore me?"
