The cloud patterns on this piece of yellow jade are light and floating. Without extraordinary eyesight and meticulousness, he can see about six pieces at most. Even he had to look carefully with a magnifying glass for more than a quarter of an hour before he could identify the number of cloud patterns. Unexpectedly, Xu Qingcai spent so much time on it.
It took less than five minutes to accurately see the number of cloud patterns. This is simply a God-given disciple, a jade-carving prodigy!
How could Mr. Xue not be happy to have such a genius who inherited his lifelong skills? How could he not cry?
"Qingzi, hurry up and become a disciple!" Tang Guobin's mind was spinning the fastest and he quickly punched Xu Qing on the shoulder.
Xu Qing was a little embarrassed. What age was this? Do we still have to kneel down and kowtow?
Mr. Xue seemed to have noticed Xu Qing's doubts, wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Good disciple, I don't have to do the customary ritual of kneeling down and kowtow. Please bring me a cup of tea and give the master a sip."
"Oh!" Xu Qing glanced around and couldn't find even a drop of water, let alone tea...
At this time, a middle-aged woman brought a plate of drinks. Xu Qing picked up a bottle of green tea, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Mr. Xue, shouting: "Master, you might as well make do with this."
"Hahaha! Okay, today I, Xue Hongyun, made do with this. It can be regarded as the first time to drink drinks to recruit disciples." Mr. Xue was in a good mood. He took the green tea and drank a few sips. The generation of jade carving masters just accepted it.
Disciple closed down.
Xu Qing winked at Meng Shicheng, who hurriedly took out the unheated check and put it on the sofa. Since Mr.
The money cannot be collected under any circumstances.
Xu Qing picked up the check and stuffed it into Mr. Xue's hand, and whispered: "Master, you'd better take this money back."
Mr. Xue's eyes widened and he said, "Just keep what I gave you. I don't want anyone to poke their spines and say I took advantage of my apprentice."
Xu Qing couldn't help but had to put away the check, thinking to herself, this old man is really stubborn, the worst he can do is write out the best jade and use it to honor him!
Seeing the old man and the young man blowing their beards and staring, Xue Guoqiang said with a smile: "You don't think it's a lot of money, why don't you donate it to the Hope Project? I will definitely support this in Jiangcheng."
"If you don't donate, donations are being moved here and there these days. If you donate one million, you might as well end up with 100 yuan." Xu Qing was full of resentment towards donations. He remembered that when he was in junior high school, he was in school.
He made a donation to the disaster-stricken area once, and he even donated the only twenty yuan he had. I heard that each class donated more than a thousand yuan at that time.
A school donated tens of thousands of yuan, but Xu Qing accidentally found a thank you letter in the school office. It said thank you to a certain school for donating 500 yuan. The address of the signature was the disaster area where the donation was made.
, even the dates are less than ten days apart.
Xue Guoqiang frowned and said: "Everything has two sides, and embezzling charity funds is an exception after all."
Mr. Xue glared and said: "The problem is that there are too many cases and it has become a common problem. Many people treat charity money as a waste of money. There is not much money left that can really fall into the hands of those who need it."
Mr. Xue has encountered this kind of thing twice. He used to be keen on charity, so he lost interest in making donations and couldn't arouse any interest in it.
Xue Guoqiang saw that the master and the disciple were very resentful and could only smile bitterly and remain silent.
"Good disciple, please take off the pendant on your neck and show it to me?" Mr. Xue was again concerned about the Zi Gang Jade on his disciple's neck. This time Xu Qing obediently took it off and put it in his hand.
Mr. Xue could tell at a glance that this pendant was written by Lu Zigang. The Jade Guanyin's brows revealed a charm of compassion. The most amazing thing was that the leaves at the top of the willow inserted in the vase were curled or stretched. They showed width and width from all angles.
There is a difference. The techniques and thought used in a small Guanyin pendant are no less than any masterpiece of Zigang jade handed down from generation to generation.
This rigorous attitude alone is enough for Lu Zigang to live up to the name of the Jade God. Mr. Xue also found some inspiration from this Guanyin statue. The piece of chicken fat yellow material is most suitable for carving into a Cloud-Stepping Golden Buddha. This jade
The peaceful and compassionate expression on Guanyin's face made him seem to have some enlightenment, but he was actually crazy without realizing it.
The food was ready, and two middle-aged women came in to tell everyone to sit down. However, Mr. Xue was so immersed in admiring the Guanyin statue that he didn't realize it. Xu Qing's belly was already close to his spine, and he stepped forward and snatched away the Jade Guanyin.
"Master, it's time to eat."
This sound indeed brought back Mr. Xue's spirit. He glanced at Xu Qing and scolded with a smile: "You brat, your ears are about to go deaf!"
Everyone laughed, and the good disciple turned into a brat in a blink of an eye. This change must have come too fast, right?
With Mr. Xue's instructions in advance, the dinner was quite sumptuous, and the table was filled with dishes that were full of color, flavor, and flavor. Xu Qing almost swallowed the food with his little tongue.
As long as people are hungry, even ordinary food will become particularly delicious. What's more, the food on this table itself tastes quite good. Now it can only be described as delicious food.
Mr. Xue specially opened a bottle of 60-year-old Maotai puree. This wine is not cheap. It has a sticky texture that is different from ordinary Maotai. It is full of mellow flavor and has a long aftertaste. It is indeed the best wine. Xu Qing alone drank most of the bottle.
Afterwards, even Xue Guoqiang, who prides himself on being a good drinker, can only sigh at himself.
During the dinner, Meng Shicheng talked about Xu Qing's brilliant record of four consecutive betting increases in one day, which made the Xue family sigh. He earned 450 million in one day. Such a crazy speed of making money would probably make even the world's richest man feel inferior. Of course,
In the end, everyone attributed it to his incredible luck.
Mr. Xue took a sip of wine, a look of worry appeared on his face, and said sternly: "Qingzi, although the vision of stone gambling is far less important than luck, the risks involved are extremely high. Many people are addicted to it because of a single bet.
, and eventually ended up bankrupt. As the saying goes, gambling is a pleasure. You are still young, so you must not get too addicted."
Xu Qing's heart felt hot, and there was a touch of emotion in his eyes. He nodded and said, "I remember it, thank you, master."
Mr. Xue smiled happily and said: "Sometimes luck is also a kind of talent. In the future, don't call me master, just call me teacher."
"Okay, it's okay to call me teacher, but I live in Jiangcheng..." Xu Qing hesitated before speaking, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"You don't have time, right?" Mr. Xue said unhurriedly: "I will go to Jiangcheng to buy a house in half a month at the latest. By then, you kid will spend at least two hours a day learning to carve objects. Can you do it?
?”
"Yes, I can definitely do it." Xu Qing was overjoyed, patting his chest and promising, and finally picked up the wine glass and said: "Teacher, I'd like to toast you!"
"Haha! Okay, let's take one of the two masters and apprentices..."
After dinner, Xu Qing declined Mr. Xue's offer to stay and left. He left his contact information and the ice violet, and agreed to meet again on the last day of the fair.
