Nothing was said all night. After listening to Shao Jun's last sentence, Meng Shuai was still a little jealous, thinking that nothing would happen at night, so he didn't sleep peacefully. I am very cautious in my practice, I don't dare to indulge too much, and I always keep one eye open.
Who knew that the next morning, except for the sore back pain after sleeping on the slate bed all night, nothing was born
When I woke up in the morning, I saw Shao Jun standing in front of the window, and the sunlight shone in through the huge glass window, and his whole body was covered with a faint layer of gold.
Meng Shuai stretched his waist and said secretly: Did this kid sleep or not? Who would wake up in the morning not only with folds of clothes, but also without a trace of messy hair? Yes, even I opened one eye yesterday, so he had to open two eyes, maybe he didn't sleep.
After a hasty freshening up, Shao Jun said: "Be ready, open the canopy today." There are less than two hours left. ”
Meng Shuai said: "Yes, wait...... I still haven't changed the jade. Penniless, how can you mix in the canopy?
Shao Jun said: "I asked you yesterday, would you like to sell that Samwang to me?"
Meng Shuai said in his heart: At this juncture, what else can he do except sell you? Fortunately, he is also an indifferent person, and the medicinal materials in his hand are also indifferent assets, so it is no problem to dispose of them to anyone, so he said: "Okay." ”
Shao Jun said: "Then three hundred standard blanks." ”
Meng Shuai was stunned, and Shao Jun said, "Have questions about the price?"
Meng Shuai didn't pretend to be a veteran, and said: "I don't understand either, but it's three times their bid yesterday, which should be a lot."
Shao Jun smiled: "You are telling the truth. On the table there is a price list and a map from last night, you can go and see it. ”
When Meng Shuai went over to look, he saw two pieces of paper and a book. The smaller paper is about 32 carats of the schedule, and the larger one is about 8 carats, and the colorful drawing is the map. At the end there is a book left, the size of a palm, which is the price list.
"So hou?" Meng Shuai held the price list and couldn't help but marvel, this degree has caught up with a small dictionary. And the price list for each room is only one page. Sure enough, giving money and free is not a concept at all.
When he opened the price list, Meng Shuai's eyes were glazed, but he saw that the prices were all written in a color of fly's head, densely arranged on paper, and he was dizzy just by looking at it.
When you look closely, the price list is written in surprising detail, and at the beginning it gives a table of gold, silver and jade, and then a blank.
He originally thought that the blank was jade, and jade was a general equivalent, and the price should be fixed, but when he looked down carefully, he realized that it was not, in addition to the standard jade blank, there were also various blanks, such as inferior, medium, high, and perfect grades, as well as green, yellow, red, and white jade such as classifications, as well as old jade and new jade second-hand, and there was a long list of "strange things" below, and this item alone took up a full three pages.
Meng Shuai saw that his head was big, and he flipped back and saw the column of medicinal materials.
The so-called paid version, the weight of the medicinal materials column came out, not only giving the reference price of each medicinal material, but also specific to each medicinal material. For example, ginseng occupies half a page, and explains in detail the price of ginseng for each product and each grade, how many years, months, and quantities, and is not calculated by gold, silver, and jade.
Meng Shuai only grinned and said, "Amazing, this book is worth a lot of money, right?"
Shao Jun said: "Ten jades." ”
Meng Shuai said: "Amazing, I have caught up with the medicinal materials of the third grade." ”
Shao Jun said: "One day." ”
Meng Shuai sighed, Shao Jun said: "This price list is updated every day, ten jade a day. If it's not real-time, it's not worth much, and the cost of making zuò is just a jade. Therefore, the price of these ten jade stones is the price of the statute of limitations. ”
Meng Shuai burst into tears and said secretly: Tuhao, if you weren't Shao Jun, I would definitely hug your big thick legs. When he looked down again, he said, "The price you gave is still too high." The first-class ginseng king on this is only 200 jade. ”
Shao Jun said: "That's the reference price. Although it is different from the official price, it is not stable. Do you see a black line in the three grades of ginseng herbs?"
Meng Shuai looked through it and said, "I saw it." ”
Shao Jun said: "That's a private line. The more low-grade things are, the more they are supplied, and the more expensive they are. Below the private line, the reference price is basically the market price, and above the private line, the reference price and the market price fluctuate greatly. The higher is the priceless market. Your ginseng king is basically priceless. If you're willing to go out and auction it, the price will be higher. How about it, are you willing to wait another day and charge a little more?"
Meng Shuai said: "Didn't you just say that in order to buy the value of the time, you should spend ten times the money? I took advantage of you, thank you." ”
Just kidding, he can't enter the canopy penniless, and besides, the king is not worth much, if he wants it, don't say more, three or four can always be piled up.
Shao Jun smiled and said, "Okay." "I took out a box like the one I took out yesterday at the window and pushed it to him.
Meng Shuai opened it to see, but saw that it was full of jade, all of which were blue and white, and the light was moist.
But...... It's so small.
A piece was only the size of a knuckle, completely different from the size of the seal he imagined, and it was as light and weightless as it was placed in the palm of his hand.
Shao Jun saw Meng Shuai pick out a carefully looked at it, his face was full of novelty, and said, "You haven't seen a standard blank?"
Meng Shuai was despised by him for a day yesterday, and the more serious his face became, he said without caring at all: "It's really strange, I look at the printing drawings are very complicated, I didn't expect the printing blank to be so petite, the more difficult it is to make the printing." ”
Shao Jun said: "This is the standard size issued by the Three Spirits Palace, and the standard blanks on the market are all this size. It is said that this is the minimum size required for complex engraving, and any smaller size will destroy the integrity of the print. Of course, such a reluctant size is issued because the jade of the blank is too rare, and it is formulated in line with the principle of not wasting. But because it is too small, there is no room for revision. If there is a slight difference in cuò, the blank will be completely wasted, which will cause a lot of waste. It is said that there were also many people who called for the Sanling Hall to revise the standard, but the Sanling Hall refused to revise it on the grounds that 'the seal itself cannot be mishandled, and there is no need to leave room for flaws'. So this criterion has been left to this day. ”
Meng Shuai praised: "You are really knowledgeable. ”
Shao Jun smiled slightly, showing a slightly self-contained look, and then retracted and said, "This is just on the surface." Many of the great sects even have reputable sealers who will customize their own seal blanks, and the size is different from the standards of the Three Spirit Palace. Those naturally formed strange things are even more bizarre, and they can't be complied with if they want to. However, all the non-standard blanks of the Three Spirits Hall cannot be circulated, and you can only buy things after redeeming the standard blanks. ”
Meng Shuai said: "Well, it is the difference between ordinary precious metals and general equivalents. However, this blank is not easy to use, and it is forcibly maintained by the prestige of the Three Spirits Temple, and sooner or later it will become independent from the commodity and become real currency. ”
Shao Jun was puzzled and said, "What do you mean?"
Meng Shuai spread his hands and said: "The previous illness has been treated, so don't care." ”
Shao Jun was silent for a moment and said, "Did you forget something?"
Meng Shuai was stunned and said, "What forgot?"
Shao Jun said: "You forgot to count whether it is enough to count." ”
Meng Shuai patted his head and said, "That's it, I really forgot." ”
Shao Jun muttered, "Sometimes it's really a lack of strings." ”
The jade stones are arranged very neatly, so they are very numerous, ten horizontally, five vertically, a total of two layers, one hundred standard jade.
It was two hundred short of what Shao Jun promised.
Meng Shuai was surprised in his heart, and he was not in a hurry, since Shao Jun asked him to count, he would definitely not pay for it, it was nothing more than a method of exchange. Therefore, he kept staring at Shao Jun.
Shao Jun was furious by him, and said, "That's it, here you go-" At that moment, he took out another box, which was smaller than the one just now, but several times more delicate, and the box was held in his hand, like a most outstanding work of art.
When I opened it, there were only two pieces of jade inside, which were in the shape of a long strip, which was similar to the seal stone in Meng Xishuai's imagination, as white as mutton fat. Even if Meng Shuai had not learned to identify jade, he could see that the quality of these two pieces of jade was far superior to the pile of jade just now. With this presumably, those small heads just now are like scraps.
"It's ...... Medium blank?"
Shao Jun said: "Well, the official price is one to one hundred, and you don't suffer a loss." ”
Meng Shuai rubbed his forehead and said, "Of course I don't suffer a loss!" I remember between the medium and standard blanks...... There's also a private line, right? Standard blanks are exchanged for huàn medium blanks, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
Shao Jun said: "You don't have to worry about this. The canopy level here is too low, so the medium blanks are scarce, so a private line is drawn, and the medium and standard blanks in other places can almost be exchanged by themselves. I'm only giving you this because I didn't bring much of a standard blank with me when I came out, because it took up space. ”
Meng Shuai looked at Shao Jun, he became more and more disbelievable, this Shao Jun was the one he was looking for, even if it was Zheliutang, could he exude a handsome and rich smell from the inside out?
At this moment, only to hear the sound of "dang-", the bell rang, and then the silver bell rang into a ring.
Shao Jun said: "The canopy of heaven has opened. ”
Meng Shuai was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stood up, and was about to go out, Shao Jun stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "What's the hurry? The canopy is opened, and it goes out in order, the more advanced the sealer, the first time you go out, you are going out now, and you have to wait at the door." Could it be that you plan to line up at the door early like those sycophants and bow down to welcome the Venerable Lords?"
Meng Shuai had to sit down first, and Shao Jun said: "I have something to do on the first day, let's go our separate ways first." ”
Meng Shuai said in his heart: Originally, we were not all the way, how can I listen to your tone, and you will not follow me in the future?
Just wanted to clarify his position, Shao Jun casually threw the map on the table to him, and said: "You take this, you are a novice, remember to look at it and don't get lost." Wait another quarter of an hour, and then go down. As he spoke, he stood up and straightened his clothes.
Meng Shuai took the map and let out a sigh, but he couldn't say anything anymore.
