Chapter 121 Everything you choose is not for sale!
Lin Yang finally waited until the time to board the plane, but was informed that the flight was delayed. As for how long the delay would be, the airport did not give a clear answer, but asked passengers on the flight to wait patiently for follow-up notifications.
This incident made some passengers dissatisfied and gathered around the airport staff to demand explanations.
Lin Yang did not step forward to join in the fun. Since he could not board the plane for the time being, he simply dragged his suitcase and started shopping in the airport shops.
There are several jewelry stores selling gold, silver and jade in the airport. However, after shopping around in these stores, Lin Yang was unable to find suitable jade.
You should know that not all kinds of jade can be ground into powder and mixed with cinnabar to make juice, which can be used to draw the wind charm.
Qingfeng Talisman, the five elements belong to wood. Although most jadeite is also of wood attribute. However, due to the different mineral content, their wood attribute degree is also different. For example, yellow or yellow-brown jadeite, etc.
It is the wood with earth; while the bright red or orange red green is the wood with fire...
To improve the Qingfeng Talisman, it is best to use pure green jade with pure wood properties. Of course, black jade with water in the wood can also be used. Because according to the five elements theory, water can produce wood. Although its effect is not as good as pure green,
But there will be no harmful side effects.
In addition to the jade with these two attributes, jade with several other attributes will not work. Not only cannot the Qingfeng Talisman be improved, but it may even follow in the footsteps of the senior Ishikawa and end up with a tragic end of failure to draw the talisman and being injured. Especially this.
It is jadeite with gold in the wood. Because the five elements are in conflict with each other, it cannot be used the most.
The number of jadeite in these jewelry stores at the airport is not large, so it is not easy to choose jadeite that is pure wood or has water in the wood.
Unable to buy the jade he wanted in the jewelry store at the airport, Lin Yang could only wait until he returned to Jinguan City and go to the antique street to have a look.
Finally, he bought some Beijing snacks from the specialty shop at the airport, such as crispy candies, poria pancakes and the like.
These things were taken back to the three brothers and Xi Mengyao and other friends in the dormitory to eat. They didn’t ask for how delicious they tasted, they just wanted to be fresh.
Afterwards, Lin Yang returned to the boarding gate, found an empty seat and sat down, and continued to pick up "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classics A and B" to study.
After being delayed for more than half an hour, the flight to Jinguancheng finally started boarding.
After getting on the plane, Lin Yang closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. In fact, he let his spiritual consciousness enter the Jade Mountain to practice.
During the flight, idle time is idle, so it is better to make good use of this time.
After more than two hours of flight, the plane successfully arrived at Jinguancheng International Airport. However, the smoothness ended there. Due to heavy rain in Xishu Province, including Jinguancheng, the airport
Traffic control was carried out. The plane Lin Yang was on had to hover over Jinguan City for more than 40 minutes before it was allowed to land.
After hearing the news of the landing, the passengers on the plane breathed a sigh of relief. They thought the plane would have to return to Beijing the same way it came, or land at an airport in Yucheng or other places.
When dragging his suitcase out of the cabin, Lin Yang glanced at the pouring rain outside and couldn't help but sigh: "This rain is too heavy, isn't it?"
Standing at the door of the cabin, the stewardess smiled and greeted every departing passenger, and then said casually: "The rain today is considered to be light. In the past two days, it only rained heavily in Jinguancheng."
, even the airport runway was submerged, and planes were unable to land at all, resulting in a large number of flight delays or cancellations..."
"Hiss..." Lin Yang took a breath and was shocked by what the stewardess said: "Isn't it, so scary?"
The flight attendant nodded and said, "Isn't it? It has been raining continuously for the past four or five days, and many places have been flooded."
After leaving the airport, Lin Yang stopped a taxi, but instead of rushing back to school, he went to the antique street near Wuhou Temple.
He could not wait to collect the materials needed to improve the Qingfeng Talisman so that Chen Shiwen could conduct experiments as soon as possible.
After getting off the car, Lin Yang bought an umbrella on the side of the road. Instead of rushing into the antique street, he went to a calligraphy and painting supplies store at the corner of the street.
"Add eagle feathers to the tip of the pen?"
After hearing Lin Yang's request, the owner of the painting and calligraphy supplies store was very surprised.
He had heard that rabbit hair, wolf hair, wool and other animal hairs were used to make brush nibs. But he had never heard of anyone using eagle feathers to make brush nibs.
Such a request is really strange.
Lin Yang did not explain why he did this, but just said: "Yes, it is to add eagle feathers. How about it, can you make such a pen here?"
It is impossible to push the business that comes to your door to outsiders. What's more, they already have a business of making brushes according to customers' requirements.
Although this time, the customer's request is strange, but it is not impossible.
The boss said: "After adding eagle feathers to the bristles of the pen, it is softer and more comfortable to use than pens such as rabbit hair or wolf hair. However, since you insist on having such a pen, we can also make it for you."
Customized individually. It’s just that the price will be a little more expensive..."
Lin Yang didn't care about this: "As long as you can make a pen with eagle feathers in accordance with my requirements, the price is not an issue."
After paying the deposit, Lin Yang accepted the receipt from the boss and made an appointment to come here to pick up the pen in half a month.
After finishing the matter of the eagle brush, Lin Yang walked into the antique street holding an umbrella and dragging his suitcase. He found a relatively large jewelry and antique store and walked in directly without looking at the name of the store.
Today's weather is not good. It has been raining non-stop. Lin Yang doesn't want to go shopping with his suitcase in the heavy rain. It is best to find suitable jadeite in a store.
"Sir, what do you want to see?" A female salesperson wearing a jewelry store uniform came up to him immediately and asked with a smile. She helped Lin Yang put away the umbrella and put it on the umbrella stand next to the door.
"I want to choose a piece of jade." Lin Yang said.
The female salesperson immediately said: "Is this jade? The jade we have here is of the highest quality and lowest price in the whole antique street. Sir, please follow me, this way."
Under her guidance, Lin Yang came to the jade counter, sat on the high stool in front of the counter, and chose jade.
"Sir, please drink water." The female salesperson poured a cup of hot tea for Lin Yang. "This is the secret herbal tea in our store. Drinking it can remove moisture. In the past few days, heavy rain has continued, and moisture is easy to get.
Hurtful.”
"Thank you." Lin Yang took the hot tea and took a sip. It tasted pretty good.
"Hey... isn't this little friend Lin Yanglin?"
Just as Lin Yang was selecting jade, a somewhat familiar voice sounded next to him.
Lin Yang looked back and saw a somewhat familiar old man, nodding to him with a smile.
"Are you...Uncle Wang?"
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Yang remembered the identity of this old gentleman. Isn't he the same Uncle Wang that Xi Mengyao invited to help him solve Xiongbo's seal last time?
"How will you be here?"
"Look at what you said." Uncle Wang laughed dumbly and said, "This is Baishi Hall. If I'm not here, where should I be?"
Baishi Hall?
When Lin Yang walked in, he didn't look at the name of the store. Unexpectedly, he ended up in the jewelry and antiques store opened in Xi Mengyao's home.
This is really fate.
"Little friend Lin, do you want to buy jade? I don't know, but you are interested in that piece." Uncle Wang walked up to Lin Yang and asked with a smile.
It's just his expression, how he looks, how weird he is.
Lin Yang did not doubt that he was there. He raised his finger and pointed at a piece of jade placed in the cabinet and said, "Uncle Wang, how do you sell this piece of jade? We are acquaintances, so let's give you a discount."
"Of course there is a discount." Uncle Wang glanced at the piece of jade pointed by Lin Yang and said with a smile: "But I'm sorry, this piece of jade is not for sale. Because it is not for sale in our store."
"Not for sale?" Lin Yang was stunned.
The female salesperson standing behind the counter also had a surprised expression on her face.
However, after hesitating for a moment, she finally did not question it.
Although she did not question it, Lin Yang raised a question: "If this is not for sale, why do you put it in the sales counter? Well... just treat it as not for sale. What about this piece? This piece is the same.
Not for sale?”
"That's right, this one too." Uncle Wang actually nodded.
After that, Lin Yang pointed to several other pieces of jade, and without exception, they were all put for sale by Uncle Wang.
At first, Lin Yang thought that Uncle Wang was deliberately targeting him. But then he thought about it, he had no enmity with him, and there was no need for him to target him. What's more, his relationship with Xi Mengyao was still unclear.
pretty good.
In the end, Lin Yang finally figured it out. I bet Mr. Wang, he regarded him as a beacon.
It seems that Uncle Wang has not forgotten that Lin Yang solved the matter of Xiongbo's seal from a stone that everyone regarded as waste...
Uncle Wang didn't know that Lin Yang had guessed his intention, and kept asking: "Little friend Lin, is there anything else you like?"
Lin Yang smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "What if you have things that I like here? If I am not wrong, as long as they are what I like, Uncle Wang, you will classify them as not for sale, right?
?”
"Uh...well...hehehe..." Uncle Wang felt a little embarrassed. After smiling awkwardly, he said, "There's nothing I can do about it. Xiaoyou Lin, your eyes are too poisonous. Whatever you choose,
Its value may exceed our previous estimate. Therefore, I can only make this shameless decision..."
"As for that, I don't know how to identify stones, right? Why don't you all want to believe it?" Lin Yang was helpless: "Besides, I'm not here today to hunt for treasures, I just want to buy an ordinary piece of jade.
.If you don’t believe it, you can take these pieces of jadeite I selected for testing, and keep them in mind. They are of average quality.”
Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang became even more embarrassed.
Just when he didn't know how to answer the conversation, a manager from Baishitang walked over quickly and whispered something into Uncle Wang's ear.
Uncle Wang's brows suddenly frowned.
However, when his eyes fell on Lin Yang, his eyes suddenly lit up and his brows straightened. He put on a flattering smile and said, "Little friend Lin, what I did just now was that I did something wrong.
, I'm here to apologize to you. So what, these pieces of jade you picked out, I decided to give them to you, who made us friends..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Yang and refused: "No, I'd better give you money to buy it."
Lin Yang knows a truth: showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Uncle Wang is just the sweaty bandit right now, isn't he?
"Okay, let me tell you the truth." Even though he was embarrassed, Uncle Wang stopped trying to make excuses: "It's like this, someone came to sell jadeite rough. Looking at the appearance of the stone, we figured there was probably some material inside, and
It's still good stuff. But the price the other party wants is too high, and we're still a little unsure, so we want to ask you, an expert in treasure appraisal, to help you take a look. These pieces of jade can be regarded as a thank you gift for you."
His abacus was very precise. The pieces of jade that Lin Yang selected were not very valuable. If they were all added together, they would only cost more than 2,000 yuan.
It's quite cost-effective to spend two thousand yuan to hire a treasure appraiser who has the magic of fortune telling.
