Chapter 381 Emerald Feast
Chapter 381 Jade Feast
However, after confirming that he wanted to carve the gift he gave to Li Shiyun by himself, Jia Sidao did not expect that he needed to carve a jade ornament similar to Li Shiyun's body shape. He just felt that the jade work he carved should be somewhat related to Li Shiyun, which is also a reason for giving to her, right?
Look, when gambling stones in Jieyang, Guangdong, Jia Sidao still owed Li Shiyun a small gift. When he thought of the cause of this incident, Jia Sidao couldn't help but think of the "big gambling stones" when he was gambling, because of Li Shiyun's eyesight, a piece of jadeite stone that he specially bet back, was in a cylindrical shape, and the jade texture inside was ice!
So, Jia Sidao found the small section of jadeite raw stone from the storage room on the third floor, cut it appropriately, took out the jadeite material inside, and carefully checked it and felt that its texture was, although most of it was ice-type, there was a little inferior quality.
Use an angle grinder to grind off all the bad ingredients. The remaining ones are a relatively narrow piece of jade material with some curves in the middle. Most of them are bright green, and a small part of them are lighter in green, and even in some places on the corners, there is a little yellowish color!
Jia Sidao involuntarily wanted to dismantle all the light yellow parts one by one. In addition, the bright green and light parts should be completely worn off. In this way, the value of this piece of jade material will not only not drop due to changes in overall size, but will even rise a lot.
But when Jia Sidao was about to take action, he suddenly realized that such a natural form was just like a graceful figure like a woman? In this way, Li Shiyun's image naturally appeared in Jia Sidao's mind, and even overlapped with the jade material in front of him. As for the light colored part below, Jia Sidao immediately thought about what he needed to do.
When Li Shiyun's figure appeared perfectly on this jade ornament, Jia Sidao realized that the bottom part had a little extra feeling. After a little change of mind, he carved this part into a round pier that could be placed on the table, but it was slightly modified on the flat bottom part. In this way, the whole work is very simple and capable, because the shape of this piece of material itself is very consistent with Li Shiyun's body shape. In addition, Jia Sidao's use of supernatural perception when carving, and the texture trend of this piece of jade material is clear, then there are very few places where the knife is used or used to a grinder to carve. If you can carve one less knife, Jia Sidao will use one less knife.
As the saying goes, natural decorative, natural is the most beautiful. With just a few strokes, you can completely outline the image of a plump woman.
Of course, because the jade material itself is not big, Jia Sidao has never learned to carve it carefully. His methods are just suitable for a kind of spiritual similarity. He cannot do nose, eyes, etc., exactly the same as Li Shiyun. This is also the reason why Li Shiyun didn't think of herself quickly when she was looking at this work?
However, when Li Shiyun's mind first appeared and then looked at such a jade carving work, it has to be said that Jia Sidao was quite accurate in Li Shiyun's charm. No wonder Ji Yanran, who is quite familiar with Li Shiyun, felt very familiar when she first saw this work.
"Shiyun, I really envy you." Ji Yanran spent some time and carefully checking the jade carving work, turning to Li Shiyun and saying, then, he looked at Jia Sidao intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was talking. Jia Sidao was not kind enough, and at this moment, he carved the form of Li Shiyun, why didn't she have her?
"Yanran, what were you talking about?" Li Shiyun said with a little slight desire to cover up the highlight, "Xiao Jia also said just now that this jade carving work is similar to your figure."
"Okay, you two don't have to join together and fool me." Ji Yanran saw clearly. If we only look at the figure, she and Li Shiyun are indeed somewhat similar, and it can even be said to be equal. Moreover, it is particularly rare that there are not many differences in height and posture. The biggest difference is in temperament.
What Jia Sidao pays most attention to in this work is also in terms of temperament.
If Ji Yanran thought that the prototype carved by this work was her at this time, it also means that Jia Sidao's carving was really a bit failure!
Li Shiyun naturally understood this. So, as soon as she finished speaking, her face turned redder and more shy than when she was facing Jia Sidao. When Ji Yanran didn't notice her, she glared at Jia Sidao angrily, as if she was saying that what she said just now was Jia Sidao deliberately misleading her.
Jia Sidao couldn't help but roll his eyes to Li Shiyun. Those words were clearly spoken by Jia Sidao who didn't want Li Shiyun to be too embarrassed, so he deliberately said it. Who knew that Li Shiyun would "silly" tell Ji Yanran? In his heart, Jia Sidao suddenly felt that at such a moment, Li Shiyun's performance was also full of such a charm.
Just like her age, there is a mellow fragrance in her maturity.
On the other side, such as Mr. Gong from "Ciyunzhai", Uncle Zhou from "Zhouji", and A San, many experts from jewelry testing centers from the provincial capital, were gathered in one place at this time. That is, on the edge of the entire display cabinet, at a corner, there is also a place carefully designed by Jia Sidao. The jade jewelry is used to store jade jewelry, but it is no worse than the treasures in the display cabinet.
To be honest, the few jade jewelry over there are far more precious than the products in the display cabinet.
On the display cabinet, except for the "Blood Jade Bracelet" that clearly shows that it is not sold to the public, the rest of the things have price tags. In other words, as long as you offer the starting price, whether it is glass imperial green jade jewelry, bright green jewelry, or exquisitely carved blue water jade, you can own it and become their owner.
But at this moment, the place everyone noticed was not a piece of work for sale! In a word, no matter what the price is, the "green, fat, red and thin" store will not sell at all!
After the episode just now, Ji Yanran, Li Shiyun and Jia Sidao naturally noticed the eyes of most people. They couldn't help but follow a few steps and approached to see what happened. Li Shiyun also asked in a low voice: "Xiao Jia, don't you have any other good things, you are so mysterious, and you're so interested, right?"
Among jade jewelry, it is not surprising that it can attract one or two people, because as long as it is related to the word "jade", it is somewhat attractive. Jade jewelry that can attract most customers can be fully achieved as long as it is slightly higher in price and has a little exquisite in carving skills. However, it is absolutely not a simple work to attract the attention of most experts.
As the owner of a jade shop and a veteran who runs a jewelry shop, Li Shiyun undoubtedly understands this better than Jia Sidao. Therefore, when she saw everyone gathering in the corner next to the display cabinet, her curiosity was no less than the jade ornament in the form of a character I just saw!
"Sister Li, I don't know either. Those things were placed on my mother." Jia Sidao said with some confusion, "Why don't we go over and take a look, won't we know?"
Li Shiyun made a "bet" gesture, and Ji Yanran next to her was also a little laughing. It turns out that Jia Sidao, the boss of "green, fat, red and thin", also didn't understand the things in his shop? It's just that Jia Sidao was unwilling to explain at this time.
This aroused the curiosity of the two women even more!
When Jia Sidao and the other two arrived together and looked up, they realized that the place in front of them was actually of the same style as the display cabinet, and the location was relatively close to each other, and they were all close to the innermost part of the store.
But the display cabinet is placed there in three-dimensional shape, with empty surroundings and things placed inside glass cabinets. Everyone can see the things placed inside from the outside, and people can also walk around such a cabinet. After rotating around, they can clearly see all the jade jewelry inside. However, the place in front of them is a display stand built on the wall!
The baffles, lighting, jade jewelry and the like above are interlaced, and in a disorder, they show a bit of the curvature beauty of modern art. The things placed are also quite not simple. Among them is the "peerless chicken oil yellow".
Jia Sidao's original plan was not to be placed for this thing, because after thinking about it for a while, the "blood jade" was more suitable to be carved into a "blood jade bracelet". The shape of this piece of chicken oil is more unique. You say that it is carved into a bracelet. Jia Sidao felt that it was a little waste, and the scraps would be left and more. If it was carved into a ring face or something, it would seem too "small and useless".
In carving of jade, many carving masters also follow the principle of making the best use of things.
The first thing that comes to mind for a large piece of material is definitely not to cut it open, but to carve it directly into a large ornament. Of course, the premise is that such a large piece of material must be of high quality. Otherwise, if it is all garbage and scrap, there will be no big difference between carving and cutting the whole piece.
Unless the merchant is short of money in a short period of time and wants to quickly sell the jade in his hands in exchange for a large amount of cash, then the large material will be carved into a more popular "bracelet" style! Just like gold is a hard currency, which is more valuable. The jade bracelets in jade jewelry are also "hard currency".
The chicken oil yellow material in front of me is in a flat shape. If it is carved into a jade bracelet, the bracelet will look relatively flat; the second is that when it comes to material selection, it can only be carved two jade bracelets, one big and one small. In addition, you can only dig a ring face from the middle, and cut out the scraps and other parts, and you can also carve a few small jade pendants.
If it was jade material of other colors, Jia Sidao would have agreed to do so. However, for this piece of "peerless chicken oil yellow", Jia Sidao's hesitation did not choose to start in the end, but directly moved the jade material to "green, fat, red and thin".
Because just next to this piece of "chicken oil yellow" jade material, there is another piece of natural jade material - "Purple Eyes"!
The appearance of "purple eyes" is undoubtedly a rare jade material of the same level as "peerless chicken oil yellow". When these two appear in front of everyone in a contrasting form of yellow and purple, the visual impact is naturally unparalleled. Even jade materials such as glass-type imperial green and blood jade color are not as rare as "chicken oil yellow" and "purple eyes".
The word "jade" means that jade should be green and red. Therefore, the appearance of "chicken oil yellow" and the charm of "purple eyes" make people who see them stop. The slight delay of time gives Jia Sidao the feeling that everyone is watching in front of them.
Jia Sidao also noticed that in the crowd, the girl group of mother, Xiaoqian, Ali and others was also very eye-catching. What is particularly important is that Zhou Sha was walking among them, perhaps because she had communicated with her mother on the side of the villa. At this moment, Zhou Sha was still relatively close to her mother.
Suddenly, Zhou Sha glanced at Jia Sidao and saw Jia Sidao looking at her. She was surprised at first, and then she naturally showed a bright smile. Her pure and beautiful appearance made Jia Sidao stunned. She sighed in her heart, "The ever-changing witch, maybe such words are very suitable for Zhou Sha in front of her?"
"Xiao Jia, what are you going to do with these two pieces of jade? Could it be that they keep it like this?" Li Shiyun asked in a low voice, and Ji Yanran next to her was undoubtedly looking forward to it. If the 'Blood Jade Bracelet' is so beautiful for a woman, then the charm of the 'Purple Eyes' makes it impossible for a woman like Ji Yanran to refuse.
A sentence like "Purple Eyes, Female Heart" suddenly flashed through Jia Sidao's mind. When he looked at Ji Yanran and Li Shiyun, the smile on the corners of his mouth became even stronger. "Of course, it won't be placed like this all the time. At night, someone will take them back into the safe."
Ji Yanran and Li Shiyun looked at each other and immediately smiled bitterly in a tacit understanding.
If Jia Sidao did not understand Li Shiyun's words, it would be impossible. Jia Sidao's answer was naturally filled with a joking heart, "But, to be honest, have the two beautiful ladies not seen that there are some other fun things next to these two pieces of jade?"
"Oh?" Li Shiyun asked in confusion. Just now, her gaze was really attracted by the "Perfect Chicken Oil Yellow". Who made this piece of jade the largest? In addition, it was the same original "purple eyes" on the edge of the chicken oil yellow jade, just because of the bright purple color that made people intoxicated.
And at a slightly distance from the edges of the two jade materials, that is, on another baffle, there are several small jadeite rough stones, some with windows open, and some with all bets, all of which are very small in size. Even if one of them is not cut, some people shouted the price of "two million".
Among these first group of people who came in to visit, there were many experts.
"I think you are really good at doing business at Xiao Jia." Li Shiyun had to praise Jia Sidao. This method of placing jadeite raw stones in jade shops, and conducting exhibitions, and also making orderly plans, such as from full gambling, opening windows, and then cutting in half, and lined up one by one. It is indeed worth her learning. Jade jewelry is more for those who like jade. Often these people are eager to understand everything about jade. So, where is the exquisite jadeite coming from? It is a good selling point.
"Haha, it's all the ideas that everyone came up with." Jia Sidao said with a smile, "If it weren't for your intentional order from Sister Li, I wouldn't even prepare those minimum gifts today."
Although Jia Sidao's store has not opened to the majority of customers now, Jia Sidao can imagine that it would be unreasonable if a store did not have any preferential policies when it opened.
"Then should you thank me?" Li Shiyun's expression smiled a little.
"That's it, that's it." Jia Sidao nodded hurriedly.
"Wow, are these three animal-shaped jadeites here carved with 'purple eyes'?" When Li Shiyun's eyes turned to the display stand, she suddenly saw three of the 'twelve Zodiac signs': dragon-shaped brooch, snake-shaped earrings, and rat-shaped ring face.
If people think that when they see the original "purple eyes", they will still think that such a jade material is more precious. Jia Sidao just fiddled out it for everyone to visit. After all, they can have it if they have seen it. However, the sudden appearance of three animal-shaped jade jewelry carved from "purple eyes" makes people who see them look forward to it.
Do you still have the chance to own such treasures?
"Xiao Jia, tell me honestly, how many of these 'purple eyes' have been cut out?" Li Shiyun first covered her mouth, then secretly asked Jia Sidao, who seemed to be afraid that others would hear it. Jia Sidao wanted to say something directly, if you like it, I'll give you one.
Of course, at this time, Jia Sidao would not be so romantic, or directly choose "jewelry and beauty", but directly answered: "Thirteen."
"Well, there are three carved here, and there is another piece of jade material for display. Wouldn't it mean that you also have eight pieces of jade material with "purple eyes"?" Li Shiyun's eyes widened and stared at Jia Sidao without blinking. After seeing the other party nodding, the spirit in Li Shiyun's eyes became a little stronger.
"Shiyun, don't think about having this 'purple eye'." Ji Yanran next to him patted Li Shiyun's shoulder at this time and said, "Didn't you see that these three carved jade jewelry are all animal forms in the 'twelve zodiac signs'? The remaining eight pieces should be just enough to be carved into the remaining eight animals, right, Boss Jia?"
"Haha, Yanran can see clearly." Jia Sidao said perfunctorily, but it caused Li Shiyun and Ji Yanran to roll their eyes at the same time. For this reason, Jia Sidao could only smile bitterly and stop talking.
The more you talk to a beautiful woman, the more you are wrong. What's more, you are talking to two beautiful women standing together.
"However, I really didn't see that Xiao Jia's carving skills are really a bit unique." Ji Yanran looked carefully at the three animal shapes and said, "It looks like they are all simple carvings, but it can present the most essential colors of these jade materials to the maximum extent in a reasonable way. Xiao Jia, why don't you tell me how you did it?"
"Is it really that amazing?" Li Shiyun also looked at these three jade ornaments carved with "purple eyes". She suddenly felt a little familiar in her mind. Isn't it the feeling that she had just appeared on the jade ornaments carved from her prototype?
You should know that since entering the jade store, Li Shiyun has only felt this way on that jade ornament. Li Shiyun has always thought that it was because she was too familiar with the shape of the jade ornament, which led to that different feeling. Of course, are there any small thoughts here? It is because this jade ornament was carved by Jia Sidao, so it is not something Li Shiyun can figure it out now.
