"Sorry, sir, we can't be sure about your pendant. Please go to other jade shops to have a look!"
The old man was dumbfounded. Chen Ran called twice without any response, so he left directly and entered the next jade shop. Stepping out of a jade shop again, Chen Ran couldn't even feel disappointed. This was already
After Yuyuan, the results of the third jade shop he entered were the same as those of Yuyuan, both of which were said to be inaccurate.
Generally speaking, in the antique business, if you say you are not sure, it means that your item is not authentic. He is a little confused about what is wrong with the pendant he carved. If the jade is not authentic, it means that your jade is not real jade.
But the one he used was clearly Hetian jade.
At this time, Chen Ran didn't know that he was indeed using Hetian jade, but the piece of Hetian jade he chose was somewhat special. Of course, if it were just Hetian jade that was special, it wouldn't be so, but Chen Ran's sculpture
work……
After entering three jade shops with the same result, Chen Ran stopped entering the fourth shop. Thinking that all the jade materials at home were gone, he ran to the material area again and made some purchases. This time, he
He had to purchase more, which cost him thirty thousand in one go.
After buying the materials, Chen Ran plunged into the room again...
…
"Uh... I'm sorry, I went to the wrong door!"
Yang Long stood at the door of the apartment. When he saw the stunning beauty that suddenly appeared in front of him, he was a little dazed for a moment. After being dazed, he turned around and ran away. There was a bang behind him, and he suddenly stopped again.
Come down.
"No, isn't this the place Xiaoran was talking about?" Yang Long was a little confused, and then he quickly took out his cell phone and called Chen Ran again. After saying a few words, he heard Chen Ran's voice from behind.
sound.
"Come in!"
Chen Ran looked at Yang Long. He had been immersed in carving jade all day. In the evening, Yang Long suddenly called him and said he wanted to come to where he lived. Although he was confused, he could only
Let him come over.
"Are you busy? If you are busy, I won't go in!" Yang Long looked at Chen Ran with a joking look on his face, as if to say, I am not interrupting your work, right?
Looking back at the master bedroom with the door closed, Chen Ran shook his head at Yang Long: "Don't talk nonsense, this is my landlord!"
"oh!"
Yang Long let out a long oh, obviously not believing Chen Ran's words. Chen Ran didn't explain much and led Yang Long towards his room.
Entering Chen Ran's room, Yang Long fell straight on Chen Ran's bed and kept complaining: "Oh, it's so comfortable. I'm exhausted. Xiao Ran, you've been doing well lately.
Living in a high-end apartment...well...you can also live with such a beautiful woman. By the way, that beautiful woman just now is really your landlord..."
Chen Ran ignored him, tidied up the slightly chaotic room, and poured him a glass of water: "Why did you think of coming to me today?"
"I missed you." Yang Long rambled nonsensically, and then he said with a bitter look on his face: "It's not easy to live a life these days. There is no backing, and there are people scheming everywhere. No matter how talented you are, you still can't do it.
"
As soon as he heard this, Chen Ran knew that in all likelihood, this guy had suffered some injustice or suffered some hardship and came to him to talk to him.
In Yang Long's narration, Chen Ran finally knew the whole story. Yang Long was engaged in computer technology and seemed to develop software. As for developing software, Chen Ran was still a novice in this regard and could not understand.
I know very well. I only know that Yang Long has been developing a kind of medical software. He spent two years on this kind of software and only recently completed it. After completing it, he planned to sell it to the company.
The person who talked to him about this matter was the company's technical director. After seeing the software, the technical director greatly appreciated it. After asking him many questions, he said that he would definitely give him a good price.
During the company meeting the day before yesterday, the president specifically mentioned this kind of software. The president was also very optimistic about the software designed by Yang Long. However, it was not Yang Long who was praised by the president, but the technical director, that is, the technical director stole the software.
Yang Long’s scientific and technological achievements.
Yang Long angrily exposed the technical director's conspiracy on the spot, and the president was also very angry after hearing this. He slammed the table and said that he wanted to investigate strictly. But after the incident, there was heavy thunder and little rain. Just today
At that time, Yang Long was directly fired.
"The Rainbow software took me two years to design. The data is all in my computer. I also added hidden codes that I designed myself to the software. They took it for free. Today is Sunday. Please wait.
Three days..." After Yang Long was indignant, he laughed proudly.
But Chen Ran, as if he suddenly remembered something, abruptly interrupted his pride: "Wait a minute, what day of the week did you say today is?"
"It's Sunday!" Yang Long replied matter-of-factly, and then said funnyly: "Are you so busy that you forgot the time again?"
Yang Long knows his roommate very well. In his words, he has a good memory but a big forgetfulness. For some things that interest him, his memory is so strong that you will feel inferior to him. But in many cases,
They are all a little confused.
Just like time, in Yang Long's mind, Chen Ran is a person who has no concept of time. It seems that the time in the outside world is of no use to him at all. He never seems to know what day of the week or month it is today.
.
"It's already Sunday!"
With a sigh, Chen Ran clapped his brows in annoyance and pulled Yang Long away: "Follow me quickly!"
…
"I asked you what are you doing in such a hurry!"
Being pulled by Chen Ran and almost running all the way to the Antique City, Yang Long couldn't help but complain again. However, after being led into Hutong No. 2 by Chen Ran, he no longer complained, but looked around.
"This place is nice. I didn't expect there to be such an old house in Zhongdu!"
Chen Ran didn't have time to talk to him. He was walking, thinking about what Master Miao asked him to come to Master Miao's house today. Last Sunday, Master Miao told him to come next Sunday.
, as a result, he had been immersed in practicing the Eight-Sword Wave Splitting Sword Technique this week, and if it weren't for Yang Long's reminder, he would have almost forgotten it.
Stepping into Master Miao's yard, Chen Ran looked up and found that there was no one on the three stone tables, but the lights were on. He looked around again and found that Master Miao was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden in the left corner.
.
"Whose house is this?" Yang Long, who was following behind, couldn't help but squeeze in and look around.
Putting his hand to his mouth and making a weak sound, Chen Ran signaled Yang Long not to say more, and walked towards a stone table. Yang Long saw that Chen Ran was mysterious, and he followed Chen Ran honestly.
later.
Although Chen Ran didn't let Yang Long speak, Master Miao still noticed them, glanced at them, and stood up.
"We're just sitting here stupidly!" Yang Long looked at Master Miao picking vegetables, then at Chen Ran, and then at the empty stone table, blinking in a daze.
Chen Ran remained silent and did not speak.
"Coming!"
Master Miao limped over, glanced at Yang Long, and then focused on Chen Ran.
"Um……"
Nodding, Chen Ran stood up: "Master Miao..."
Before Chen Ran finished speaking, he was interrupted by Master Miao waving his hand: "Wait first!" After saying that, he limped towards the main room.
"Who is this?"
After Master Miao left, Yang Long approached Chen Ran and asked in a low voice.
"You'll find out later!"
Chen Ran didn't know how to explain it. Obviously, for him, Master Miao seemed to be more than just a chef...
"Eat first!"
Master Miao didn't tell Chen Ran what he wanted to do. He just asked him and Yang Long to have a meal, each with a bowl of chestnut rice, a pig's trotter, and a small pot of mandarin fish soup. After serving the food to Chen Ran, Master Miao started again.
left.
Chen Ran was filled with doubts, but he could only eat first. He hadn't eaten Master Miao's food for a week, and he was a little greedy. After the food was served, he started to eat.
"Xiao Ran, I've already eaten!" Yang Long said with a bitter face. He only found Chen Ran after dinner.
"You should taste it first!"
After saying a few words, Chen Ran stopped caring about him. He believed that no matter how full he was, he would never say that he was full once he served the food cooked by Master Miao.
Sure enough, Yang Long took a bite and looked at the chestnut rice on the table with his mouth wide open. He seemed to be surprised how such an ordinary chestnut rice could be so delicious. He looked at Chen Ran again and found that Chen Ran didn't care about him and was immersed in eating.
Well, I originally wanted to ask Chen Ran why it tastes so delicious, but I stopped asking and just lowered my head and picked it up in my mouth.
"I'm so exhausted! Xiaoran, you are so uninteresting. With such delicious food, why didn't you ask me to come and eat it earlier? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I was so hungry for two days.
Let’s have another meal.”
Due to the special treatment given by Master Miao to Chen Ran, Yang Long had to eat three bowls of chestnut rice and two pig trotters in one go.
Chen Ran opened his mouth and closed it again. What he wanted to say was, do you know how much you ate in one breath?
"Drink this, and then drink a bowl every three days!"
When Yang Long complained in a low voice, a bowl of steaming hot soup appeared in front of Chen Ran on the stone table. Chen Ran looked up slightly in surprise, but only saw Master Miao limping away.
I don’t know why, but at this moment, looking at Master Miao’s back, Chen Ran felt a little startled.
"Pfft... Ouch, what kind of soup is this? It's really awful!" The sudden sound woke Chen Ran up. Chen Ran turned around and saw that it was the soup that Yang Long thought Master Miao had brought.
, it was something delicious and delicious, so he took a sip, but unexpectedly it was bitter and smelly, and he spat it out all of a sudden.
"What kind of soup is this? It's really awful. I said, Xiaoran, isn't this poison?" Yang Long glanced suspiciously in the direction of the main room, then approached Chen Ran with a serious expression and asked in a low voice.
road.
"I don't know!" Chen Ran shook his head simply, and then picked up the porcelain bowl. The soup in the bowl looked a bit like medicinal soup. After taking a glance, Chen Ran put the bowl to his mouth and drank it.
He got up, took a sip, and frowned, but Chen Ran didn't spit it out like Yang Long. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and drank the whole soup in one breath.
"You can really drink it!"
Yang Long saw Chen Ran drinking a bowl of medicinal soup in one go, and immediately expressed admiration on his face. However, thinking of Chen Ran's behavior in the dormitory before, he felt that it was natural.
In Yang Long's mind, sometimes it was obvious that Chen Ran could not be seen as a normal person. One of the times that impressed him the most was when he was in school. There was a video that went viral on the Internet. In the video, two people
Two women were shitting and eating each other's shit. People in the dormitory took one look at it and almost vomited it out. They didn't dare to look at it anymore. But Chen Ran was sitting in front of the computer and just started eating.
From the beginning to the end. The video lasted for more than 20 minutes, and Chen Ran also watched it for more than 20 minutes.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that when someone sent the video, Chen Ran was eating a box lunch and watching a movie. As a result, when watching the video, Chen Ran was still eating.
During the whole meal, he didn't react at all. After finishing the meal, he poured a glass of boiling water and continued reading.
This kind of performance shocked everyone at the time, and they secretly sighed that this guy couldn't be viewed by normal people!
"Six thousand yuan, Xiaoran, you are so extravagant, you ate up two months of my salary in just one meal!"
When he was almost walking to the apartment, Yang Long was still nagging. He was stimulated. During this time, he was living a good life and found a good job. Those college classmates
He envied him a lot, and he felt that he was becoming more and more petty. Tonight he came to see Chen Ran. In addition to venting, there was also the fact that he was fired from the company, which gave him a salary, and there were many other things.
Liquidated damages, he knew that Chen Ran was under a lot of pressure and his life must not be very good, so he just wanted to stay with Chen Ran for the past two days, take Chen Ran to eat more delicious food, and go to some places to spend money.
Have fun.
However, at this time, he realized that his idea was good, but it was wrong. He felt that he should not be the one to help Xiaoran, but should be a parasite on Xiaoran and eat around.
Drink for a while.
Yang Long thought a little shamelessly.
Chen Ran was silent and ignored him. He had been thinking about Master Miao. What was the relationship between Master Miao and himself? Why did Master Miao look at him differently? What was the medicinal soup that Master Miao asked him to drink?
What something...
At this moment, there were too many doubts in his heart.
