0108 Carved dragon and phoenix

"Young man, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Although this seven-star grass looks like an ordinary grass, it is actually a more precious herb than ginseng. It is priceless and has no market. It specifically affects the kidneys, although it cannot completely cure it.

It can cure uremia, but combined with some other medicinal materials, it can effectively inhibit the uremia virus, so that patients no longer need to suffer from dialysis, can work and live like normal people, and can wait for a long time for a kidney."

A drug dealer standing next to the young man explained to him somewhat unhappily.

The young man was silent, with a gloomy expression on his face. After knowing the function of Seven Star Grass, he had to admit that this broken grass was indeed worth the price.

But he was young and energetic, and still said a little unconvinced: "Even if this seven-star grass is valuable, it was only sold for 800,000, which is still far away from 3 million."

As soon as he said these words, everyone around him looked at him with caring eyes. Didn't you see those drug dealers surrounding Ding Ning enthusiastically handing out business cards? Didn't you see those guys' eyes looking at the herbal bags were as green as wolves?

?

If he can take out one seven-star grass, who dares to say that he can't take out the second one, the third one...

The young man reacted immediately, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Especially when he took a peek at the Queen and found that she didn't even bother to look at him, he felt even more depressed.

Ding Ning did not continue to take out the seven-star grass. He didn't have many of them, only three plants, and he was still waiting to save them for planting.

He took out a piece of white stuff that was about the size of a fist and looked as fleshy as a piece of lard, but it had nine red spots on it, which looked extremely weird.

Ding Ning smiled and said: "Everyone, let's test your eyesight. Does anyone know what this is?"

"This looks like Tai Sui, but I have never seen Tai Sui with nine red lines. What on earth is this?"

Everyone frowned, wondering what it was. Only Mr. Liu was well-informed and judged from the shape that it looked like Tai Sui, but he couldn't be sure.

Ding Ning stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up, and sincerely praised: "Mr. Liu is still well-informed. This is indeed Tai Sui, but it is not Tai Sui in the general sense. Li Shizhen recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica": Meat mushrooms are shaped like meat.

. Attached to big rocks, with heads and tails, they are living things. The red ones are like corals, the white ones are like fat, the black ones are like lacquer, the green ones are like emerald feathers, and the yellow ones are like purple gold.

, are all as bright and clear as solid ice. It is also called Ganoderma lucidum, but few people know that Tai Sui also has a life span. Every thousand years of Tai Sui, there will be an additional red streak, and the size will become smaller and fuller.

The ten stripes will become another medicinal material called Long Live. The piece in my hand is Tai Sui which is more than 9,000 years old but not yet 10,000 years old."

"How much does this cost? How to sell it?"

"Yes, Tai Sui is very rare. How much is this 9,000-year-old Tai Sui worth?"

"Damn it, little brother, I'm afraid we can't afford this thing together."

...The drug dealers were all excited and gathered around to take a closer look. However, after appraising the property, they all suddenly lost confidence and retreated.

First, they are not sure whether what Ding Ning said is true or not, so they will not take the risk to buy something they don't know. Second, even if this Tai Sui is real, they probably can't afford it even if it's nine thousand years old. Don't tell them.

Nine thousand years of Tai Sui, even if a drop of nine thousand years of resin has turned into amber, it is an absolute antique, and its value is incalculable.

Ding Ning smiled and said: "You guys are overthinking it. I have no intention of selling this thing. I just confirmed that I have the ability to fulfill the bet if I lose the bet."

Discovering Tai Sui in the rainforest was also an unexpected surprise for Ding Ning. Except for Seven Star Grass and Cuihui, the rare herbs in his herbal bag were basically only originals and were reserved for seeding. He was not willing to sell them at all.

Originally, due to lack of money, he had no choice but to reluctantly sell them, but since he discovered that gambling on stones can completely solve his current predicament, he no longer intends to sell these herbs.

Taking out the 9,000-year-old Tai Sui is to prove one's financial strength, divert attention, and cut off other people's thoughts of buying medicinal herbs.

"That's natural, little brother, I can vouch for you."

Mr. Liu was the first to stand up and support Ding Ning. After all, he sold the seven-star grass and owed Ding Ning a great favor.

"Isn't it just five million? Little brother, I can also guarantee you."

"It's nothing but five million, I can also guarantee it."

"Go ahead and gamble. If you lose and your little brother doesn't have enough money to share, just talk to your brother."



A group of wealthy drug dealers came forward to vouch for him. Some even wished that Ding Ning would lose, so he would have to sell the herbs in the herbal bags. If that didn't work, he could make a lot of money just by cutting off a small piece of the nine-thousand-year-old Tai Sui.

.

The young man was a little guilty, but when he thought that Ding Ning was just a medicine seller, even if he knew a little bit about carving, it would be impossible for him to carve that piece of ice jade into two pendants. That could only be done by top jade carvers.

The profession of jade carver is somewhat similar to that of traditional Chinese medicine. The older you are, the more experienced you are, and the more profound your knife skills are, the more valuable your work will be.

Ding Ning looked like he couldn't be more than twenty-five years old even if he had calculated everything. How could such a young jade carver be able to carve two pendants without using any materials.

Thinking of this, he immediately became more confident and said with a ferocious smile: "Since you insist on giving me money, I won't be polite. I will also trouble Mr. Liu to be a witness and sign a bet, lest someone loses and refuses to admit it.

."

"Little brother, do you want to think about it again?"

Mr. Liu asked Ding Ning a little worriedly, why Ding Ning can be regarded as half of his benefactor, he naturally didn't want to see him lose money.

"Mr. Liu, thank you for your kindness. Please be a witness and draft a contract."

Ding Ning shook his head without hesitation and joked. He had been practicing knife skills since he was three years old. He could use a large guillotine to carve patterns on tofu, so what did it mean to carve two jade pendants?

Moreover, he had already seen the piece of jade, and had even thought about how to carve it into it so that it would not be wasted at all.

Mr. Liu shook his head helplessly, thinking that Ding Ning was too young and energetic, but seeing that he was resolute, he stopped trying to persuade him. Because of the gambling on stones, gambling contracts were often signed here, and the contract text was ready-made.

The two of them took out their ID cards to sign a bet, and then Ding Ning found out that the young man's name was Xiang Bolong.

Xiang Bolong didn't do any ink, so he stretched out his hand and handed the jade to him, with a confident smile on his face.

"Mr. Liu, do you have a carving knife that I can lend you?"

Ding Ning asked politely.

"Yes, we have a jade carver in the auction house. Let me borrow a set for you."

Seeing that Ding Ning was confident, Mr. Liu immediately asked someone to bring over a set of carving knives.

Ding Ning did not hesitate, reached out to take the carving knife, and began to carve attentively.

Everyone was stunned, seeing that the carved knife seemed to have come alive. Without the help of power tools at all, a piece of jade became two pieces by dividing it by two in his hand.

Queen Gujing's calm eyes finally stirred up a wave of excitement, this sword skill is so powerful.

Xiang Bolong's face turned gloomy. He never thought that Ding Ning could actually carve jade, and he was so skilled at it.

When he thought about the possibility that this piece of jade would no longer belong to him, although three to five million was nothing to him, it was enough to make him feel pain.

After all, he spent a lot of money betting on stones during this period, and most of them lost their money, which put his finances a little tight.

Ding Ning ignored his mood and concentrated on carving. He found that it was not much different from the stone carving, which made him even more confident.

The reason why he wants to be in the limelight is because of his queen complex. If he doesn't show his ability, how can he attract the queen's attention?

As time goes by, fine jade chips are scattered, Xiang Bolong's face becomes more and more ugly, and a pendant has taken shape.

It is a spherical pendant with a lifelike phoenix carved on it. If you look at it carefully, it actually gives people the illusion of a phoenix spreading its wings and coming towards you.

Everyone passed it around and marveled at the miraculous skill. The carving was so smooth and natural that it was not inferior to the two famous top jade carvers.

There are antique dealers who have been playing with pendants for many years and are familiar with jade carvings, and even think that the carvings are better than those of top jade carvers.

When the queen took the jade carving in her hand and observed it carefully, the seemingly natural phoenix made her calm face move slightly, and when she looked at Ding Ning, there was already a brilliance in her eyes.

The onlookers were discussing in low voices, not shying away from words of praise. They all looked at Ding Ning expectantly, wanting to see what the second pendant was.

Ding Ning waved the carved knife in his hand, and it turned into afterimages. Jade powder continued to scatter, and finally, the second pendant took shape.

It was a crystal clear moon, with a dragon with teeth and claws hanging on it. Looking at the sun, the dragon seemed to come alive and soar in the moonlight.

On January 1st, there is one yin and one yang, which is a perfect combination of pearls and dragons and phoenixes.

"My little brother is good at swordsmanship and beautiful. His carving skills alone make these two pendants more beautiful. I'll give you six million."

Fatty Zhang couldn't put it down while holding the jade carving, and said excitedly that the flawless carving alone was enough to sell this pair of pendants for an extra million.

"I will pay 6.11 million. No matter how much Boss Zhang pays, I will give him 100,000 more."

The queen's cold voice sounded, and her determination to win was undisguised, which showed her love for the pendant.

"Girl, we don't bring this kind of thing, it's too shameful."

Fatty Zhang was impressed by the Queen's aura, and handed both pendants to her with a grimace: "Since the girl is bound to get it, I won't raise the price, so as not to say that I'm driving up prices, I just think it's a good relationship.

"

"Then thank you, Boss Zhang, for cutting me off."

The queen was neither humble nor arrogant, nor was she in the mood of tears of gratitude. She looked at Ding Ning calmly: "Give me the account number, and I will transfer the money to you."

Ding Ning glanced at Xiang Bolong who was leaving angrily, with a joking smile on his face: "Not for sale!"

"Not for sale?" The queen seemed shocked by this answer, and opened her mouth in shock. Her cute look instantly made her look like a queen eclipse a lot.

"Yeah, when did I say I was going to sell it?"

Ding Ning took the Yangfeng pendant from her hand unceremoniously, winked at her and smiled strangely: "I'm not selling it, I'm just giving it away. The dragon is given to you. I want this, and we both have one."

Everyone was in an uproar immediately, revealing a hint of ambiguity about what had happened.

Some people looked at the queen with envy, secretly sighing that she was good because she was beautiful. She had an innate advantage and was given away without spending any money.

But the eyes he looked at Ding Ning were even more intense, and he secretly guessed his identity. Seeing that he was wearing street stall goods worth no more than 300 yuan, but he was so generous. He gave away more than 3 million yuan without any hesitation, so

Such grand gestures are something that ordinary people can do. This must be a young man from a wealthy family pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, taking money as money to pick up girls.
