Chapter 238: On the table that was bet

Fortunately, even without Jia Sidao's words back and forth, Liu Yufei next to him quickly helped to clear the siege!

With the relationship between Liu Yufei and Mr. Li, he casually said some remarks circulating in the market. Even if Mr. Li is unhappy, it would not ruin Jia Sidao's purpose. It is relatively appropriate. Looking at Mr. Li's smile after hearing this, Jia Sidao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's hard to say that Mr. Li himself had known these rumors for a long time."

Then, maybe because he felt that the atmosphere was pretty good, Liu Yufei also said a lot of interesting things when gambling with Jia Sidao. Playing the emotional card was a strategy that Liu Yufei and Jia Sidao decided on the way. Especially for someone like Mr. Li, if the person who came to ask him to carve jade was a wealthy young master, who was purely the kind of person who showed off his best jade material, the old man would naturally not be willing to take action.

But if you are someone who is involved in the jade industry, there is another saying.

Sure enough, before Liu Yufei could say a few words, Old Master Li's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Jia Sidao. Who told what Liu Yufei said was really mysterious to Old Master Li?

What acquaintance between traveling to Yunnan? When Jia Sidao bet on a giant jadeite rough stone, Old Master Li just looked at Jia Sidao with a lot of fun. However, when he heard Jia Sidao bet on agate tree and covered with jade insects, Old Master Li's expression was already moved.

After all, I am an old man who has been in the jade industry for many years. For some treasures in the industry, I am more moved than ordinary people! Others don’t know the value of those jade insects, but Mr. Li will definitely know the rareness and collection significance of it!

In Liu Yufei's words, it is, if you take hundreds of thousands of labor costs to ask Mr. Li to carve, it would be better to buy a piece of jade material with a unique shape and suitable for carving. No, if you are the latter, Mr. Li will not even need the labor costs!

When Liu Yufei said that Jia Sidao's trip to Jieyang also bet on glass-type blue jade, and even won the final victory with a gorgeous posture in the underground casino and cut out the four-color jade, even Mr. Li couldn't sit still when he looked at Jia Sidao's slightly smile-showed.

Even Mr. Li looked at Liu Yufei indifferently, as if he was suspicious of Liu Yufei lying to him!

Of course, afterwards, Jia Sidao asked Liu Yufei specifically for this. The underground casino was so disturbing, and Mr. Li was in Jieyang again. How could he not know the specific situation in the next few days? Liu Yufei explained naturally: "If I were like my grandfather, although I did not participate in the jade industry, those who would pay more attention to the market in this industry will naturally receive the news soon. However, Mr. Li only focused on carving, and the news was not very well-versed in jade materials. If a jade ornament with outstanding craftsmanship suddenly appeared somewhere, perhaps, before we received the news, Mr. Li was already studying the other party's skills."

For this reason, Jia Sidao could only sigh that even people from the same industry have specialized in their profession!

The three of them were probably silent for a while!

Mr. Li breathed a long sigh and asked: "Xiao Jia, Xiao Fei said that your eyesight on gambling stones should be very good. Have you learned to look at jade since you were a child?"

"I learned this a little late." Jia Sidao was ashamed. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the support of supernatural perception, a novice like him who became a monk who rashly entered the gambling stone industry without losing all his money, wouldn't it be great if he had lost all his money. How could he have the glory of the present?

So, after hearing this, Jia Sidao seemed to be less confident when he spoke: "To be honest, compared to someone like Brother Liu who has been immersed in the jade industry for many years, my eyesight can only be considered sloppy. As for those top-quality jadeite rough stones, I can bet on it, and most of the time, I will rely on my own luck."

"Haha, modesty is good, but being too modesty means being proud." Mr. Li would not believe Jia Sidao's gambling stones, and he only relies on luck. For these people who are sophisticated, Jia Sidao's explanation is undoubtedly a bit insulting other people's IQ!

Otherwise, luck will make a novice gamble on good jadeite rough stones again and again?

Jia Sidao couldn't help but feel ashamed and said humbly that he was just a little better than ordinary people. And when he came to invite Mr. Li this time, he also had the intention of carving some of the best jade materials he had taken into jade ornaments.

Mr. Li smiled and muttered a few words: "No, not bad!"

Then he seemed to think of something and asked softly: "By the way, Xiao Jia, depending on your plan, you should want to develop in the jade world? Of course, I am not just referring to gambling stones. The risk of gambling stones is too great. According to my opinion, it is better for young people to get less involved... And you, Xiao Fei, don't think your family is good, but gambling stones will inevitably lead to a mistake. More energy is needed to carve and sell jade materials."

"Yes!" Liu Yufei naturally responded quickly.

"That's right." Jia Sidao also expressed his thoughts, "Otherwise, how could I come to you to help carve a few jade ornaments?" Speaking of which, if you don't have the support of superpowers, just like Jia Sidao's current wealth, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking. If you want Jia Sidao to continue gambling with stones, Jia Sidao would not be happy. Of course, with the help of superpower perception, Jia Sidao said this and felt a little quarrel.

"Haha, okay, okay!" Old Master Li praised the two words "good" on his face. "Now, there are very few young people who are interested in these people. They are all staring at foreign diamonds, jewelry, etc. Even when they get married, they have to make a diamond ring to wear, but they have discarded the traditional culture of our own ancestors. This makes us old guys really disappointed." As he said that, Old Master Li seemed a little sighing.

Jia Sidao agrees quite with this point.

No matter what, it is not easy to find a few young people who really know how to appreciate antiques and jade. What's more, it is even more difficult to find something to tell some tricks about it!

"Grandpa Li, Xiao Jia, really, is the second most important thing about jade collection. His hobbies are his collection of porcelain." Perhaps when Liu Yufei heard Mr. Li's appreciation of traditional culture, he naturally agreed with his words.

"Oh?" Old Master Li said in confusion and looked at Jia Sidao.

"Well, Grandpa Li, I am also a newcomer in the collection of porcelain. I'm just a little bitch." Jia Sidao said modestly.

"Nonsense! Collection, who didn't start with a small fight?" Mr. Li disagreed with Jia Sidao's words, "It's like Xiao Fei. It's good to pack up some jade ornaments when you have something to do or not. However, Xiao Jia, you actually like to collect porcelain. It seems that old man, I'm a little interested in the jade ornaments you want to carve." As he said that, he looked at Jia Sidao with a serious look, as if he wanted to see some clues on Jia Sidao!

"Really?" Jia Sidao was extremely happy when he heard this and couldn't help but say, "Grandpa Li, in fact, my initial plan was to imitate the appearance of the jade treasures I liked in the museum, imitate and carve some for my own appreciation."

"Good boy!" Before Mr. Li could speak, Liu Yufei next to him praised, "You know, I had such an idea before. I made all the jade ornaments I like and stored them in my own home. Even if I think about it, it was fascinating. Tsk tsk,..."

While saying that, Liu Yufei rubbed his hands, his face full of aftertaste. No need to guess, he knew that there must be countless jade treasures in his mind at this moment!

"You guys!" Old Master Li laughed, shook his head slightly, and said, "The idea is good, and it is really full of temptation. However, not to mention that all of them are imitated and carved, even one or two of them, let alone the difficulty of skill, even the jade material is not a time-saving thing!"

"That's natural." Liu Yufei smashed it a few times and said, "I gave up because I haven't found any suitable materials. Although I have stored a few good materials at home, it is my father's. Because I have to consider the flow of funds and other issues, I have never gotten what I want! Otherwise, with Grandpa Li, you are afraid that there will be any ornaments that you can't create."

Before he knew it, Liu Yufei slapped Mr. Li’s flattery!

Mr. Li didn't care, and his face was always smiling. Maybe the two young men, Liu Yufei and Jia Sidao, found a common topic. The conversation between the three was much easier!

"But Brother Liu, you are not worried. Speaking of which, we are still young." Jia Sidao smiled lightly and said, "One day, we will find a lot of suitable jade materials for carving those rare jade materials. I can't say that all of them are imitated. If you are lucky, there is still a lot of hope to get a piece of three or two."

"Of course you think so. I'm different. There is an old man above me,..." Liu Yufei muttered the feasibility of this matter! His stingy look, but Old Master Li next to him sighed: "Haha, young man. It's so good..."

"But, I've said that, although I don't understand jade carving, I'm afraid of encountering some good materials. If I deliberately imitate those formed jade ornaments, it will be a waste for jade materials." Jia Sidao said the truth.

If the huge glass-type imperial green jade material hidden in the house is removed, no matter what kind of ornaments it is used to imitate, it will be more than enough. But if you really want to remove such jade material, even if Jia Sidao is willing, he will feel sorry for the carving master like Mr. Li when he knows it, right?

The more skilled carving craftsmen are, the more they will think carefully about the texture trend of the whole piece of jade material before using the knife, try to maintain the natural form of the jade material and make the best use of it. This is the goal they pursue! Otherwise, they might as well make all of them into jade bracelets.

Not only is the price high, but the process is also simple.

Jia Sidao's words naturally caused Mr. Li to nod frequently. Looking at Jia Sidao's gaze was a little softer!

At this time, Jia Sidao was slightly confident in his heart. Mr. Li would do his own thing and help him carve a few jade ornaments.

While the three of them were talking, Li Shishi, who had originally left, laughed and walked over with a box of tea.

When Mr. Li saw this, he quickly stood up from the rattan chair and said to Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei: "Come on, let me give in a little!"

As he said that, he had already packed up the decorations on the stone table first!

After Li Shishi put the tea leaves in his hand on the table, Mr. Li was so excited that he lit up the alcohol stove himself and said while boiling water: "Xiaofei and Xiaojia, you two, you two have a good taste today! It's rare that Shishi will actually take out this half box of Biluochun. Wait a moment, you guys, come a little one and try it!... In normal times, Shishi hid the half box of Biluochun tightly! I can't touch it. I think, I must have supported Xiaofei's blessing today......"

"Grandpa, just cook your tea! It's all nonsense." Li Shishi couldn't help but annoyed Mr. Li with anger, "If you talk about it again, I'll take the tea back."

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it, is this a whole?" Old Master Li was also happy, afraid that Li Shishi would really put away the tea. Seeing that Li Shishi was not moving much, he continued to whisper, "I just hope Xiaofei, come here for more often in the future, it doesn't matter, right?"

In the eyes of several young people, his narrow appearance is a very old naughty boy!

"Speaking of this, this tea is also very particular. Let's talk about this water, it is the cold spring water in the Shenlong Temple!" Mr. Li looked at the flames on the small alcohol stove and fiddled for a few times before continuing, "This is specially collected from there, and the time for collecting water has to be paid attention to! As for the control of the temperature of this tea, the heat is also very particular. One more point will be annoying, and one less point will be astringent!..."

As he was talking, Mr. Li was quite content with his own satisfaction.

Jia Sidao did not understand the tea ceremony, but it did not prevent him from listening to Mr. Li's words. It seemed that there were countless traditions and indescribable backgrounds in the faint rhyme, which made people feel endless aftertaste!

Even Liu Yufei was a little dazed at this moment when he looked at Mr. Li's light moves!

Jia Sidao's lips curled slightly. Whenever an old man seriously does something he likes, it is always so satisfying, especially the elegant thing of making tea, which is rare in the past. Today, since he came back from Shenlong Temple, whether it was the decorations of Mr. Li's house or the words and deeds of Mr. Li, Jia Sidao has experienced a unique mood, making Jia Sidao feel what kind of life is full of the fun of life!

Even in Jia Sidao's mind, a thought flashed from time to time: If you were old, could you live in the countryside like Mr. Li, listen to music, make some tea, and occasionally watch the sunset?

Subconsciously, Jia Sidao's whole person was originally relying on the rattan chair on his back. At this moment, his body leaned forward a little, leaning against the stone table. His right elbow was supported on the table, his palm supported his head, and his left hand was placed on the elbow of his right hand, and his eyes were looking at the flames jumping under the small stove on the table. For a moment, his expression was a little dazed!

Before he knew it, it seemed that a familiar feeling appeared in Jia Sidao's mind, as if a flat jadeite rough stone was gradually forming a faint phantom. It was originally just a sense of stone, but gradually, it was like peeling off a cocoon, which made the whole jadeite rough stone uncover the mysterious veil, and some irregular jadeite texture appeared inside! The largest part was ice type, and there were also many small pieces of jadeite such as bean type and egg white type on the edge!

The whole piece of jadeite rough stone is like a chessboard, while jadeites of different textures are embedded in it like chess pieces!

When Mr. Li smiled "hehe" and started making tea, Jia Sidao suddenly came to his senses. He couldn't help but feel distracted by the strange feeling he had just had, and he felt a little guilty! His face turned red! Subconsciously, he looked at Liu Yufei and Li Shishi next to him.

Seeing that they did not pay too much attention to their expressions and behaviors, Jia Sidao felt relieved.

But when I bowed my head, I suddenly looked at the shape of the stone table in front of me. Isn’t it just like the chessboard I felt in a daze just now?
