Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 417 Carve a fat pig for you

After he stopped and locked it, he wandered leisurely.

To be honest, he doesn't understand antiques at all.

So he didn't intend to waste time on research.

Instead, they are going to start with jade and jade.

After all, he knows a little bit about jade and jade.

But YH City is not a place where jadeite is produced, so even if the vendors boasted about the big stones on the street stall, Liu Xing was not tempted to buy them.

After all, he knows better than anyone else the inside story of being rich with one knife and poor with one knife.

He took a rough look around all the areas under the bridge hole, and the result he came to was that most of the vendors were trying to sell dog meat, even if they bought the things on the stalls, they would not have much collection value.

But there is a foreign merchant who sells jade, and he thinks it is quite good.

Because this foreign merchant sells Hetian Ziyu.

There are also larger Hetian jades.

It's just that the amount is very small, only four or five yuan.

After all, large pieces of Hetian jade are not so easy to obtain.

As for the price of these Hetian jade...

Cheaper than he imagined.

For about 2000 yuan, you can buy Hetian jade from this foreign vendor's stall, no matter how big or small it is.

As for the authenticity of Hetian jade, as a person who has been reborn decades later, he will naturally not be mistaken.

The reason why it is so cheap is related to the prices in and also related to the money in people's pockets.

There is no money, and the merchants who speculate on jade just want to speculate on jade, which is probably impossible.

Of course, in there was no boss who was free to speculate on jade, because everyone knew that the people in many places couldn't even eat enough!
To put it bluntly, things like jade and emerald are good-looking stones, rich people can play with them, and people without money will naturally not be interested.

This phenomenon has naturally made the price of ordinary jade and jade very cheap.

But Liu Xing didn't buy it at the first time, but continued to observe the jade in other stalls. Seeing that many vendors ignored him because he was a child, he had to return to this stall selling Hetian jade in dismay.

"Boss, how do you sell Hetian Ziyu?" Liu Xing asked the female vendor standing opposite with a smile.

This female vendor looked at the age of at most 20 years old, with a pockmarked face, but a good figure, and she smiled sweetly. She thought Liu Xing was just asking, and said immediately: "Hetian Ziyu is one yuan each, just choose it, the big one Say something else."

The mandarin spoken by the female vendor was very awkward, with a serious Hokkien accent, but Liu Xing understood it. He nodded when he heard the words, and then casually picked up the largest piece of Hetian jade and weighed it in his hand: " How much is this?"

In , Hetian Ziyu was everywhere in the production area, and no one bought it at all. The price of one yuan was actually high.

So Liu Xing didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the large piece of Hetian jade.

If his practice is known to some jade experts decades later, he will probably die.

But now this opportunity only belongs to him, the reborn, so naturally he can do whatever he wants.

"Are you really buying it?" The female vendor said with doubts, but the smile on her face still did not disappear.

"Really!" Liu Xing nodded.

"If you really want to buy it, it's a one-buy price. I'll give it three hundred. I'll start my business today!" The female trader said, and quickly picked up a little girl who was about one year old from the rocking chair beside her and started coaxing her up.

Obviously, the conversation between Liu Xing and the female trader just now had disturbed the little girl.

"Then what if I buy all the Hetian jade from your stall? Can the price be lowered?" Liu Xing knew that it was not easy for this female vendor, so he didn't talk nonsense right now, and asked seriously.

"Don't make fun of me, okay?" The female trader couldn't help laughing.

"I'm not kidding!" Liu Xing saw that the female vendor had a good temper and didn't look down on him at all because he was a child, so he laughed and said, "I have a relative's birthday, and I want to buy a better piece of jade as a gift. He, but he didn't know which one to choose, so he wanted to buy them all."

"Don't worry, money is not a problem!" After a pause, Liu Xing added another sentence.

"Then I recommend you to buy this piece!" After hesitating for a moment, the female vendor took out a piece of Hetian jade the size of a basketball from the bag behind her.

This Hetian jade is milky white all over, it looks like a rare piece of fine jade.

Liu Xing saw that the female trader still had a box of goods hidden, so he couldn't help laughing: "This piece of Hetian jade is very good, I want it, tell me how much it is!"

"Eight hundred, don't bargain!" The female vendor still didn't believe that Liu Xing could come up with the money, so she didn't let go of the price at all.

"What if I really bought all the Hetian jade from your booth! How much is it?" Liu Xing asked seriously.

"This..." The female trader looked at Liu Xing hesitantly, seeing that Liu Xing was not dressed like a rich man, she frowned and replied, "The price is two thousand."

"One thousand and five!" Liu Xing took out a stack of thick banknotes from his pocket.

The female merchant's eyes lit up: "Deal!"

"Put it all together!" Liu Xing knew that it was expensive, but he still handed over 500 yuan to the female vendor.

After all, the purchasing power of 500 yuan in is equivalent to at least ten times, or even dozens of times, the purchasing power of decades later.

But for him, buying these Hetian jade is not about selling it now, just waiting for the appreciation, so there is no need to worry about money.

Of course, the female vendor's stall was actually only four or five yuan worth of Hetian jade, and the larger one that was brought out just now. The rest were Hetian jade, which was worthless in .

That's why female traders feel it's worth it.

But in the end who made the money, I'm afraid only Liu Xing knows.

After verifying the authenticity of the banknotes, the female vendor showed a happy smile on her face. While filling Liu Xing with Hetian jade, she asked, "I still have a lot of large pieces of Hetian jade in my house. Do you want it?"

"As long as the price is right, I want it, but do you have jade for sale?" Liu Xing asked.

"Yes, my husband received them from Yunnan, but the price is very high! My husband usually only sells to some jade bosses!" Seeing that Liu Xing is not short of money, the female trader is a big customer, and the chatterbox immediately started opened.

"Can you take me there to have a look?" Liu Xing said after looking at the time.

"No, my husband is not at home now, he has gone to receive the goods!" The female vendor replied truthfully.

"Then I'll give you a call and ask your husband to contact me when he's at home!" Liu Xing wrote down his phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to the female vendor.

"Good! Good!" The female trader nodded.

Liu Xing saw that the female trader's child was woken up again, so he knelt down and packed the Hetian jade himself.

He looked at all the good-looking Hetian jades, and his heart was full of happiness.

If this is changed decades later, I am afraid that 500 yuan can only buy a small piece of Hetian Ziyu.

However, if the Hetian jade bought in this batch is to appreciate a hundred times, or even a thousand times, it will take decades.

Although this time is a bit long, he believes that he can afford to wait.

Seeing that it was still early, after tying a sack of Hetian jade to the motorcycle, he started wandering under the bridge again.

This visit lasted all afternoon, but he didn't buy anything after that, and he didn't buy the so-called top-quality rough jadeite from these vendors. After all, even a fool knows that rough jadeite is not so easy to buy.

When I have time someday, I will go to Yunnan and buy more raw jade stones that have been planted in water. That’s the right way to go. Like the jadeite rough under this bridge hole, to be honest, he suspects that he won’t be able to buy good ones at all. .

Of course, it was also related to his ignorance.

Although his bamboo craftsman and carpenter skills are very good, but it is a layman to identify rough jadeite.

If he understood the way, he would come here every day in the future, and after a few decades, he would have a net worth of hundreds of millions.

"Is the net worth of hundreds of millions?" Liu Xing laughed at himself, and then rode his motorcycle back to the market.

The gate of the preserved egg breakfast shop.

Little Peanut was playing rubber band jumping with Sikong Maomao. Seeing Liu Xing came back, he hurriedly greeted Liu Xing happily and hugged Liu Xing's right leg: "Brother, why did you go today? Did you buy anything for me?" eat?"

"Hehe... I just know how to eat, I'm just a snack!" Liu Xing smiled and took down a sack of Hetian jade from the back rack of the motorcycle, carried it on his shoulders and walked to the backyard.

"Brother, what's in the sack?" Little Peanut followed curiously.

"It's all stones. When my brother has time someday, let Fengmang carve a small fat pig for you!" Liu Xing replied.

"You're a little fat pig!" Little Peanut saw that it was not delicious, so he pursed his lips and went to play with Sikong Maomao.

Liu Xing looked at it and smiled, seeing Feng Mang sitting in the hall near the window eating rice noodles, he immediately shouted: "Come with me, I have something for you to do!"

"Oh!" Feng Mang followed Liu Xing into the backyard with rice noodles in his hand.

"Later, you can use this stone to carve dragon and phoenix for me, okay?" Liu Xing took the largest piece of Hetian jade out of the sack.

"Of course there is no problem, just using this stone to carve... It seems a little too contemptuous of my craftsmanship..." Feng Mang put the rice noodle bowl in his hand on the table at the side, and carefully saw that the stone in Liu Xing's hand was Hetian Yushi immediately changed his words with a sneer and said: "This stone is not bad, it fits my identity."

"Hehe... just suit your identity. Carve it out for me tonight. Tomorrow, I will use golden nanmu and mahogany to make a 'support' to set off the auspiciousness of the dragon and phoenix!" Liu Xing smiled and put the Hetian jade on it. In the hands of Feng Mang, he picked up the sack and walked towards the opposite house.

"No, master, don't you want me to sleep tonight? This... I need two or three days to carve it like a dragon and a phoenix!" Feng Mang chased after him.

Seeing that Liu Xing stopped, and put the sack on his shoulder in the corner, Lian explained again: "Master, this carved jade is a slow and meticulous work, and you can't rush it. You... If you use it yourself, it's not easy at all. Don't be so anxious, when I have time and inspiration, the carved dragon and phoenix will definitely satisfy you."

"You think I want to rush you!" Liu Xing saw that there was no one else around, so he briefly told the inside story of Lin Yaotian's 60th birthday: "If you let you slowly carve this dragon and phoenix, how long will Brother Lei have?" There is no present for Lin Yaotian!"

In fact, when he said that it was carved in one night, it was just a metaphor that things were urgent.

If Feng Mang really wanted to stay up all night, he wouldn't do it.

"So that's how it is!" Feng Mang scratched his head with a sneer: "Then I have to work hard to finish this dragon and phoenix carving tonight, but I think it's not appropriate for this Hetian jade to be given to a boss like Lin Yaotian, after all Hetian jade It's cheap now."

"What do you mean?" Liu Xing smiled.

"I have a piece of rough emerald left by my grandfather in my hand. It is the size of a bowl, and the color and water species are also very good. If it is used to carve this dragon and phoenix, I think it will be very good!" Feng Mang said seriously.

"Okay! Then you can figure it out. As for the price of the rough jadeite, you can just say a price!" Liu Xing will not be too stingy for the apprentice Feng Mang.

"I don't want money, but I want Master to teach me the technique of breaking bamboo sticks with seven stars!" After Feng Mang laughed, he scratched his head and expressed his thoughts.

"Okay! I'll teach you some other day, but your bamboo crafting skills are too weak, and you need to practice more in the bamboo workshop!" Liu Xingyu said earnestly.

"I will!" Hearing this, Feng Mang nodded happily.

"But I still have to give you the money for the rough emerald stone. One yard is equal to one yard. You also know that your master is not short of money!" Liu Xing patted Feng Mang's shoulder earnestly.

"That's true, then you can give me yuan! At the beginning, my grandfather said that this rough jadeite can be exchanged for a flat in the urban area. I guess yuan is about the same!" Feng Mang said after thinking about it.

"A flat in the urban area costs more than yuan!" Liu Xing suddenly became interested, seeing that it was still early, he immediately said: "Take me to see your rough jadeite first, then I will find someone to give you an estimate. "

"It's not at the market, it's at the house of Chief Wang of Dongyu Village!" Lian said embarrassingly.

"You boy, you've been talking nonsense for a long time, so hurry up and take the Hetian jade I bought to carve dragon and phoenix Chengxiang!" Liu Xing slapped the edge angrily, and left with his hands behind his back.

"Okay!" Feng Mang patted his head and had no choice but to do so.

Fortunately, the texture of this Hetian jade is still soft, and he was born as an inheritor of micro-carving, otherwise, if it were someone else, I'm afraid it would not be possible to complete it at all.
