After Lu Cheng left, the old master in the carving shop was still complaining angrily: "What is waste of natural resources! This is waste of natural resources! A piece of exquisite Nanbinghong was wasted like this! If you leave it to me to carve it,
, cut it in half, carve it out and put it up for auction, each piece can fetch a very high price!"
The young man next to him said in a young voice: "Master, I think this kid is very weird. Maybe he stole Nanhong!"
The old master's face remained unchanged and he said: "Do you care whether he stole it or robbed it? We carvers should work hard to produce good works and stay out of other things!"
Xiao Wan said: "Master, I have two rough stones to unravel. Can Xiao Li help me?"
The young man sneered: "If you put two broken stones on a machine and cut them casually, what good jade can you get?"
Xiao Wan said: "You have to be careful with other people's materials."
The old master stood up and looked at the original stone and said: "Wipe off the outer skin of the small pieces. Cut the large pieces into one piece first. If there is jade, continue to cut off the pieces..."
So, the young man went to cut large pieces of rough stone, while Xiaowan used a small cutting machine to polish the stone.
After a while, Xiaowan exclaimed in surprise: "Hey! Such a small stone, I didn't expect it to actually contain jade! It's bright green, old, and has enough water... This person is so lucky..."
Use a stone slightly larger than your fist to rub it out bit by bit, remove the outer skin, and get a piece of positive green jadeite the size of a duck egg.
"Master, please take a look!"
The master squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then praised: "Good stuff! If I were to cut it carefully, I might be able to cut out five rings, four high-ice ones on the outside and one glass one in the middle. It's rare that the color is right.
Yang Qiaoli; if you cut, you can only cut three ring noodles at most... tsk tsk... I didn't expect to see two treasures in one day..."
"Master, how much can these ring noodles be sold for after being ground?"
"The glass type, Zhengyang green ring surface, is slightly larger, 12X10X6 mm. If it goes to auction, it can be sold for seven to eight million. The four high-ice types outside, which are smaller in size, can also be sold.
More than one million."
"Then isn't this person rich?"
"Haha, billionaires are flying all over the sky these days, but they are just getting started... Sigh! No matter how expensive the jadeite is, they are all new products, not as good as the old Nanhong..."
Xiaowan took out her mobile phone and dialed: "Hello, Mr. Lu? Your fist-sized rough stone has been cut open. Congratulations... The master recommends that you polish the surface of the ring..."
At this time, Lu Cheng had just arrived at the restaurant and sat down. When he heard his cell phone ringing, he got up and walked to a quiet place and said, "Do as the master said! Can it be completed before 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon?"
"Sorry, time is a little tight, I can only finish one or two. It doesn't matter, if you leave Hangzhou, we can send it to you."
"Then grind out the glass ones first, and I'll pick them up tomorrow. The rest will be done slowly. What about the other larger piece of rough stone?"
"It's still being cut... Please wait a moment, it seems that the first piece has been cut... The high ice species, half purple, half green, not cracked, is a good bracelet material... How many bracelets can be produced, not yet
I know..."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "How come there are variegated colors? According to Wu Huan, only pure jade is good jade. Did I understand it wrong?" He said: "Then let's make a bracelet."
His original intention was to find some jade materials and go back to see if he could carve runes into them. If he could succeed, wouldn't it be great to turn them into a storage bracelet?
Now that he had gotten two pieces of fine jade for his first stone bet, he was a little reluctant to waste it.
After all, he has no carving experience, so he should start with cheap jade. Once he is confident, he can then carve with good jade.
He hung up the phone and walked back to the restaurant to sit down.
Mother Rao Yuqiu asked: "Who made the call? Is it Jiang Qiuyun?"
Lu Cheng said: "No. When I came out of the Olympic Sports Center in the afternoon, I passed by a stone gambling shop. I bought a stone and gave it to someone to cut. Just now the other party called and said that there was jade in it that could be made into a bracelet. Mom, wait for me
Make a bracelet and give it to you first!"
Rao Yuqiu smiled and said: "You want to buy a bracelet for Jiang Qiuyun and catch me up by the way?"
"Hehe..."
"Brother, I want a bracelet too!"
"You are too young to wear a bracelet! When you grow up, I will make it for you myself."
"I want that shiny bracelet..."
"What shiny bracelet?"
Rao Yuqiu said: "It's that kind of children's bracelet, gold-plated, silver-plated... She mentioned it last time, and a kid in the kindergarten wore it on her hand. I didn't buy it for her..."
Lu Cheng said: "How about I buy her a silver-plated one?"
"Why are you buying that? Children shouldn't wear bracelets! What should I do if they are kidnapped?"
"Mom, no one abducts children these days."
"You said there isn't, so there isn't?"
In fact, by 2027, there will be very few children who are kidnapped and trafficked, because the country is cracking down hard. It not only cracks down on traffickers, but also severely punishes those who buy children. People who buy children will not be able to register, and they will not be able to go to school. It will be difficult to even go out, wherever they go.
It all depends on the ID card. Children have special ID cards from the time they are one year old! That kind of ID card is like a soldier's nameplate, with detailed information on it, including date of birth, parents' names, blood type, and DNA data.<
/p>
If not for the objections of many people, the nameplate would have been reduced in size and implanted into the muscles of children's arms. No matter where they go, they can be identified by scanning the serial number.
Lu Cheng and his mother ordered several local dishes, including West Lake fish in vinegar, Dongpo pork, straw duck, and two vegetarian dishes.
After eating, Rao Yuqiu felt very good and said with a smile: "Son, wherever you go to compete next week, I will go with you!"
Lu Cheng said: "Go to Xiamen next week."
"Xiamen? You must go there! Call Jiang Qiuyun."
"Okay, let me try."
Because Jiang Qiuyun is only a sophomore, if Rao Yuqiu doesn't go, she may not be embarrassed to go. She is alone and alone in a strange city for two days. If her parents know about it and don't say anything, they will worry about it. If she is a senior, her family will also
I won’t keep an eye on her so closely. If something goes wrong, I’ll get married as soon as possible.
