When I opened my eyes, I saw it was still midnight here.
A few hours later, when the sky became brighter, he walked out of the bedroom, took out half of each pomegranate tree, persimmon tree and bamboo tree and planted them in the backyard. Then he took out the golden nanmu and placed them in the yard.
Because there was too much wood, he couldn't take it all out at once, so he could only collect it as he went and put it into a homemade storage belt. The waist belt has a limited capacity and cannot be compared with the jade ring, but he has dozens of them.
The waist belt is enough to fit all the wood into it.
When it was breakfast time, he handed these belts to his father.
"It's all golden nanmu."
Lu Tianming was quite surprised: "So many?"
"Five big trees. In terms of volume, there are more than three thousand cubic meters of wood."
"A lot! If it is ordinary wood, the wood shrinks by 15% after drying, 8% by flat sawing, 8% by planing, 18% by removing bark, resin sacs, insect eyes, carving and molding, etc., and white fat is damaged by splitting
After completely removing the 20% loss, the actual utilization rate is 31%. The wood you provided is so good that there is not even a bug hole. The actual utilization rate is as high as 60%. One piece of wood can produce several pieces of furniture. This wood is enough for many uses.
Year."
"Keep it for later use, I'm afraid I won't have time to look for it in the future."
"This is golden nanmu. Where did you find it?"
"Hey, don't say it." Then Lu Cheng reminded again: "Dad, I planted a persimmon tree, a pomegranate tree, and two bamboos in the backyard. You can help me water them when you have time."
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Lu Cheng came to see the jade carver Zhang Xinyu at the agreed time, and took away a batch of finished products, including bracelets, beads, pendants, ring faces, hairpins, bracelets, waist pendants, etc., and put them in a large
In the box. At the same time, he also left a batch of jade materials, including 80 kilograms of high ice species and 15 kilograms of emerald glass species.
When Zhang Xinyu saw the jade material, he praised it again.
"Your materials are so good. Each piece is of high quality, which is really rare! Do you have clairvoyance? Just like an X-ray machine, you can see the internal structure of jade?"
Lu Cheng smiled and shook his head: "I'm just lucky."
"Nine out of ten bets will lead to losing. You can't get this far just by luck!"
"You don't know, I still have a lot of waste at home!"
"Now that this kind of high-grade jade material has been produced, you can make money even if there is a lot of waste. This 15-kilogram piece of emerald has been cut into sheets by you. It is transparent on both sides and has a small crack. The cross-section
There are 3 bracelet positions on it, with a thickness of 6 cm. It can be cut into three pieces, so there are 9 bracelets. The core and scraps of the bracelet can also be used to make jade plaques, rings, and safety buckles. An emerald green bracelet like this one can be used every time.
Each one costs hundreds of millions! Of course, if you want to find a suitable buyer, it is best to go to an auction. Shandong Province alone is not enough, so it is best to go to an auction in a first-tier city."
Lu Cheng asked: "Teacher Zhang, do you have any contact with the big auction houses outside?"
Zhang Xinyu said: "There are some contact information. The Daishan jade I carved, and some fine products, were all handed over to them for auction."
"Teacher Zhang, do you know anyone from the Hong Kong Island Auction House?"
"Don't go to Hong Kong Island. Because of the changes of the times, Hong Kong Island's economy is in decline and is different from what it was ten years ago."
"I understand, let's go to the Magic City and Shangjing."
Lu Cheng took a jewelry box full of jade and went to Jiang Qiuyun's house first to ask her to pick out her favorite jewelry.
Jiang Qiuyun's mother, Huang Yingyi, was also there. Seeing the layers of jade, her eyes began to light up. She originally hated gambling and thought that gambling on stones was gambling, but when so many beautiful jewelry were displayed
There are very few women who can stay awake when they are in front of them. Let alone women, even men are no exception. Otherwise, there would be no story about He Shibi.
Everyone has a love for beauty. Flawless jade is one of the representatives of beauty.
Jiang Qiuyun wants to help her mother choose bracelets and earrings.
Huang Yingyi waved her hand: "I haven't even had my ears pierced, so why do I need earrings? Bracelets are easy to break, so they're not suitable for me to wear."
Jiang Qiuyun picked up a jade bead necklace and said, "Mom, this is beautiful. Hanging it around your neck, it is beautiful and generous, right?"
Although Huang Yingyi likes it, she still shakes her head: "It's too eye-catching. If I wear it, some people will gossip and suspect me of embezzling public funds." She manages a lot of scientific research funds. Those who do scientific research are poor people, those graduate students.
, technician, associate professor, which family is rich? When you see a necklace like this, doesn’t it cause hatred?
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "When someone asks, just say it's a c-grade thing, ground out of a wine bottle."
After choosing for a long time, Huang Yingyi finally chose the beaded chain, planning to wear it during leisure time and not wear it at work so as not to let her colleagues see it.
Then, Huang Yingyi said: "Lu Cheng, you are now in your first year as a graduate student and you are only taking basic courses. After next summer, you will start working on a project. Do you want to do clinical research? Or basic research?"
Lu Cheng said: "I have a kind of 'mugwort', which is different from modern mugwort. I want to use it for research, both basic and clinical."
He is a graduate student in the Department of Acupuncture. The so-called "acupuncture" includes acupuncture and moxibustion, and moxa sticks are smoked and roasted.
According to the records in the Wuguang sheepskin scrolls, mugwort can be taken internally to treat gynecological diseases, and it can also be burned to dispel plagues and ghosts. However, there is no record of the production and use of moxa sticks in the sheepskin scrolls.
Lu Cheng wanted to make moxa sticks from moxa leaves and then conduct research. For him, this was a good subject.
Huang Yingyi looked happy and asked: "Is it a new kind of 'mugwort'? Like 'psoralen'? It's very different from modern times?"
"Yes, I saw a type of mugwort that is six to seven meters tall, with leaves larger than a palm. It has a particularly strong fragrance. I guess it may contain special ingredients and is worthy of further study."
"That's a large-scale project! You can't finish it by yourself. Let alone a three-year master's degree, even if you study for a master's degree and a Ph.D., it will be difficult to complete it."
"Auntie, what do you think I should do?"
"Take out the mugwort leaves. I will first ask the graduate student to do a basic analysis and compare it with modern mugwort leaves to see if the active ingredients can be found. Wait until next summer, then you can use the moxa sticks to do clinical research, and spend a few months to enter the laboratory.
Participating in one sub-topic is enough."
"Okay, I'm taking Aiye with me, wait until I go to the car to get it."
Lu Cheng found a plastic bag, walked around outside, took out the mugwort leaves from the jade ring, and put them into the plastic bag.
After Huang Yingyi got the mugwort leaves, she was so excited that she called a doctoral student and gave her careful instructions.
After sending the doctoral student away, she said to Lu Cheng: "Huo Mingan and I are both your supervisors. For graduate students, the supervisor level is very important. Let me tell you good news. I have passed the three-year evaluation for academicians of the Academy of Sciences this year.
Guan. If nothing else happens, by next spring, I will be the new academician."
Lu Cheng was overjoyed: "Congratulations."
Jiang Qiuyun laughed happily: "Mom, when did you get the news? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Huang Yingyi said: "I just got the news. The academician selection process is so fierce that it's hard to say anything until the end."
"Then this needs to be celebrated!"
"We should celebrate! Aunt Huang, my mother said yesterday that we would have a dinner together. I think today will be a good day."
"Okay. It's too early at noon, so I'd better do it in the evening."
"How about 6 o'clock in the evening? Which restaurant do you like? I'll book a private room."
"You and Xiaoyun can discuss it, any restaurant will do."
Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun discussed for a while, decided on the restaurant, and left with the treasure box.
