The man who operated the stone dissolving machine was a thirty-year-old strong man. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to the little old man who collected the money. Hearing Xu Qing's words, he muttered in a displeased voice: "If this piece of broken stone can be solved,
I ate the jade..."
The voice was not loud, but Xu Qing, who was squatting next to him and splashing water, heard it clearly, and replied with a smile: "You want to eat it, but I can't bear to eat it. How about you pick up some scraps to fill your stomach when the jade comes out later?"
The strong man smiled, changed the position of the wool and fixed it, and pressed the saw blade steadily along the drawn line.
Snap!
Another piece of scrap material was cut off, it was still a vast expanse of white, and the dark black cracks became particularly clear and distinguishable. The strong man tilted his mouth in disdain. In his opinion, this piece of material would undoubtedly collapse, so he continued.
A blind man lights a lamp in vain.
Xu Qing quickly washed the cut surface with his hands and feet, and urged: "Change the grinding wheel and clean the stone!"
The strong man was the son of the stall owner. When he heard this, he felt unhappy and said angrily: "Can a piece of bulky stuff be treated as a semi-clear ingredient? Do you know how to gamble on stones?"
Xu Qing said coldly: "You don't have to worry about whether I understand or not. I spent 600,000 yuan to buy the stone. I can do whatever I like with it."
The little old man standing aside knew that he was in the wrong, so he stepped forward and slapped the strong man on the back of the head and cursed: "You are so lazy. If you don't work, go home and nurse the child for me."
"Hahaha..." The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, and some people joked: "He doesn't have that kind of hardware either!"
Tang Guobin laughed and joked: "Isn't there a milk bottle? Just hang two pieces of hardware on your chest. That's what the supersonic guerrillas use..."
"Hahaha..." There was another burst of laughter. The strong man touched the back of his head in embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "Wipe, wipe, isn't it enough?" After saying that, he quickly changed the grinding wheel and wiped the wool with a familiar movement.
It is undeniable that the strong man is indeed a good hand at cracking stones. The contact between the grinding wheel and the cutting surface was moderate and the friction sound actually formed a special rhythm. After about two minutes, a layer of white mist was wiped out.
The strong man's eyes lit up, he raised the handle and shouted excitedly: "Quick, water." Xu Qing smiled calmly, scooped up a ladle of water and poured it along the cut surface.
Tsk! The grinding wheel pushed away the white mist, revealing a touch of warm golden color. The onlookers became excited in an instant.
“What a beautiful yellow chicken!”
"Gao Bing breeds yellow chicken... Qingzi, you are amazing." Meng Shicheng cheered excitedly, stepped forward and grabbed Xu Qing's shoulders.
"Hahaha! I knew your kid was having an affair with the God of Luck. If I don't help me choose a good piece of food later, I'll kill you." Tang Guobin's face turned into a cooked dog's head with a smile, and his nose and eyes were squeezed together.
Mr. Xue stared intently at the charming chicken fat yellow color, and finally couldn't help but step forward to touch the stone. The winning or losing of the bet was not important now, because according to the bet, this piece was to be sold to him.
The strong man was really startled when he saw the old man suddenly put his hand under the grinding wheel, and said anxiously: "Old man, please give way, I have to continue to cut stones!"
Only then did Mr. Xue come to his senses, reluctantly withdrew his hand, and pulled Xu Qing aside.
"The old man has given up. According to the agreement, I will pay double the price for this piece of material."
Xu Qing touched his nose and said with a smile: "I said I wouldn't sell it at double the price. Have you forgotten the conditions I mentioned later?"
Mr. Xue's eyes dimmed. He had indeed agreed to the conditions. This boy had already said that he was not short of money. Mr. Xue had a weird personality, but he was also famous for keeping his word. So he shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, put the violet
Give me the materials and phone number, and I will come to you with the things at this time the day after tomorrow."
Xu Qing put away the smile on his face and said sternly: "I said I won't sell it for double the price, but I can still accept it if you give me a real price, because this thing can only show its value in your hands.
"
Mr.
He completed the final sealing work with a piece of top-quality jadeite. The simple and open-minded young man in front of him, who had never seen him before, made him feel moved.
"Thank you, young man."
Mr. Xue thanked him sincerely. He had not said this word of thanks for more than ten years. The young man in front of him definitely deserved Master Xue's thanks.
"Haha! Don't worry, let's go see how to dig out stones. There might be a surprise in this piece of yellow chicken fat!" Xu Qing grinned and returned to the stone extraction machine with Mr. Xue.
The work of polishing the stone was coming to an end, and a piece of pure high-ice chicken fat showed its attractive figure. When the final base was neatly removed, Mr. Xue pointed at the vivid cloud patterns on it and trembled with excitement.
He shouted: "The golden Buddha is stepping on the clouds, it's the golden Buddha stepping on the clouds!"
Chachacha——
The grinding wheel idled for a while and stopped. Everyone looked at Mr. Xue with red eyes in confusion. No one knew what kind of strange thing the 'Golden Buddha Steps on the Cloud' was, but it was not difficult to tell from the old man's expression of crying with joy.
This piece of high-ice chicken fat is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"The Golden Buddha is stepping on the clouds. I didn't expect that the old man would be lucky enough to carve such a unique object in his lifetime. There is no regret in sealing the sword. It's God's will!" Mr. Xue gently stroked the piece of yellow jade with his trembling fingers and murmured to himself,
Two lines of thick tears fell down his cheeks.
Xu Qing could only smile bitterly and step forward to comfort him: "Old man, I've agreed to sell this thing to you, but don't get too excited. You can drag it back and carve it as you like..."
Mr. Xue wiped away his tears, stood up, shook his head with a bitter look on his face and said, "If the old man says you can't afford this piece of material, will you still carve it for me?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Qing was not the only one who was shocked. Meng Shicheng on the side was so shocked that his mouth opened in shock. Mr. Xue, a world-class jade carving master with a net worth of over 100 million, would actually say that he could not afford the materials. This shows that this
A piece of chicken fat is so precious.
Xu Qing was stunned, then showed a bright smile and said: "If you like, just drag it back to the carving, and it will be cheaper for you when the time comes."
Mr. Xue's shoulders trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Good boy, the old man won't take advantage of you. This is not the place to talk. If you can trust the old man, just come with me. How about we talk to you then?"
Xu Qing spread his hands in a bachelor's manner: "You take care of the food and I'll do it!"
"Hahaha! I can take care of the food and take care of you for the rest of my life. I finally thought of something to buy this piece of material, haha!" Mr. Xue laughed loudly, actually shed two more tears, and then looked at Xu Qing's face.
At that moment, there was a touch of kindness in his eyes.
Will you be in charge of food for the rest of your life? Xu Qing was a little confused. He thought to himself, this old man really dares to say that at his age, he can live for ten to eight years. Is it possible that he will ask your son for a meal ticket in the future?
Meng Shicheng stepped forward and patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, hurry up and become a disciple. Xue Lao Zhuoyu's craftsmanship will give you three achievements and you will be able to live a life of food and clothing."
"Become a disciple?" Xu Qing was not stupid. He immediately understood Mr. Xue's intention as soon as he mentioned it. He said to himself, "I'm sorry this old man wants to use jade carving techniques to pay for the price of this piece of yellow jade, but he is willing to teach me."
He may not have time to learn, forget it, the piece of yellow jade will not be buried in his hands anyway, and it doesn’t matter if the price is lower...
"Young man, I'm not busy with apprenticeship matters. Come back with me first!" Mr. Xue saw Xu Qing's hesitation and extended the invitation again. He believed that as long as he had seen carved objects, this young man would definitely not refuse to become a disciple.
matter.
Xu Qing nodded: "Okay, let's go to your house to have dinner." Mr. Xue took out his mobile phone and made a call. He stepped forward and hugged the piece of chicken fat and yellow stuff in his arms, never wanting to let go.
After chatting for about a quarter of an hour, an extended Hongqi sedan drove over from a distance and stopped in front of Mr. Xue.
