Zhou Zichen thought for a while and asked Jiang Qian to go down with him to take a look. Otherwise, how would he bring up such a heavy stone? Although there is only a small piece of jade, it was dug out in one piece. Zhou Zichen always said Can't you ask a few people to lift it up and then move it back?
"Do you have a stone-breaking machine here?" Zhou Zichen asked a little embarrassedly. He had prepared it at the mine a long time ago and brought it over.
"...Yes." Jiang Qian felt helpless. Zhou Zichen was just teasing himself this time.
However, he didn't mind the trouble and called two shop assistants to help Zhou Zichen carry it to the backyard. The surface of the stone was very smooth and he had to use something else to carry it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to carry it away at all.
"Thank you, just put it here." Zhou Zichen said after seeing that they had placed the original stone on the ground.
"This doesn't seem to be a rough jadeite, does it?" Jiang Qian frowned slightly and asked. Why did he think this thing looked like a pebble? It had no characteristics of a rough jadeite at all.
"Okay, just keep an eye on it." Zhou Zichen didn't waste any time and just grabbed the cutting machine and started to do it.
Jiang Gan was dumbfounded. He didn't intend to polish it. Isn't this too simple and crude? What if there is something in it and he destroys it?
However, Jiang Qian did not stop Zhou Zichen. He wanted to see where Zhou Zichen got his confidence.
"Chichi..." As a harsh sound sounded, Zhou Zichen slashed at the boulder on the ground. Anyway, he could see where the jadeite was. If he started sharpening it, how long would it take to polish it? ?
Following Zhou Zichen's movements, one side of the original stone was immediately cut open, revealing a smoother side, but it was only white, and there was no way to tell what was inside.
After Zhou Zichen finished all his work, a slightly smaller square stone appeared in his hand, about the size of a palm.
"Okay, that's almost it." Zhou Zichen dragged the square stone in his hand and looked at Jiang Qian and said.
"That's it?" Jiang Qian looked at Zhou Zichen and asked, dumbfounded.
"Yeah, that's it, what's wrong?" Zhou Zichen asked innocently. He just wanted to save some time. Then he could tell him what the requirements were and he could go back to the store.
"Zi Chen, you have nothing to do, why don't you come here to tease me?" Jiang Gan's expression also became serious. If Zhou Zichen was joking, it would be fine, but if he was serious, then he would be really angry. .
"...Grandpa Jiang, can you believe me just once? Do I look like such a stupid person?" Zhou Zichen looked dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that he had made Jiang Qian suspicious, but it didn't matter. Blame Jiang Gan, anyone who sees something like this must be suspicious.
"This..." Jiang Gan hesitated for a moment. What Zhou Zichen said was indeed true, and the small piece in his hand did look different from the color outside.
"Okay, then I'll take you to meet my old friends. Don't embarrass me!" Jiang Gan warned Zhou Zichen, and then left here with Zhou Zichen.
Liu Yuan, who was hiding behind the door and peeking, naturally saw this scene. Zhou Zichen was going to find the carver? He knew the person Jiang Gan knew, so he planned to follow him to have a look.
Zhou Zichen and Bai Bing followed Jiang Qian from the center of the antique street to the end of the street. There were a lot less people in this area and it was relatively clean, but this was normal. After all, carving is a patient and careful job.
Jiang Qian walked into a store that didn't look very impressive, with simple interior decoration, but most of the surroundings were like this. If they really came to do business, where would they have time to worry about what the decoration would look like? They didn't rely on decoration to attract people. client.
"Old Liang, I'm here to introduce you to the business." Jiang Qian said directly as soon as he walked in. Zhou Zichen looked at it for a long time but didn't see anyone there.
It wasn't until an unkempt middle-aged man emerged from under the counter, his hair looking like it hadn't been washed in several years, that Zhou Zichen realized that there was someone there.
"Hey, isn't this the youngest Jiang? Why are you here?" The man grinned, showing his yellow teeth and looking extremely slovenly.
"I'm going to introduce the business to you. My little friend said that I have something good for you to see. I would like to ask you to help me carve it. You can see if it's worth it." Even Jiang Qian had to face Liang Dahai. Give it the respect it deserves.
Although Liang Dahai is unkempt now, he was very handsome when he was young. Later, his wife fell ill and passed away, and he became what he is now. His craftsmanship is definitely top-notch in the provincial capital.
"Will you still trouble me?" Liang Dahai glanced at Jiang Gan twice. If it weren't for the whites of his eyes, Zhou Zichen wouldn't even be able to see if his eyes were open. His face was covered with dirt, and his face was dark. .
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Zichen, show him." Jiang Gan said to Zhou Zichen. Although Liang Dahai has been decadent for so many years, his skills have never been lost.
Zhou Zichen handed over the small piece of stone in his hand, but Liang Dahai just glanced at it and didn't pick it up.
"Mr. Jiang, you don't know my rules, right?" Liang Dahai glanced at Zhou Zichen, and then said to Jiang Qian.
"This thing is not as valuable as the blue brick at my door. Don't say you are here, I can't do such a thing of reducing the price if anyone comes." Liang Dahai's eyes were shining when he said the last part. Zhou Zichen narrowed his eyes slightly, this person was a bit interesting.
"Don't be too hasty to make a conclusion." Zhou Zichen stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Qian, and then continued: "You polish it clean. This is our request. Just follow this."
Zhou Zichen put the small piece in his hand on the counter, and after finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw Liu Yuan walking in with a group of waiters from Jiang Gan's shop, and some of the accompanying people also came to watch the excitement. .
"Zhou Zichen! What do you mean by this? Do you think my master and Master Liang are fools? How dare you take out something picked up from a roadside stall and embarrass yourself? If Master Liang really does as you ask, then in the future Why would cats and dogs dare to do things to him?" Liu Yuan pointed at Zhou Zichen with his finger and said in an arrogant tone.
Zhou Zichen's expression changed. Liu Yuan was simply haunted!
"I see among the people here, you are the only one who thinks these two are fools, right?" Zhou Zichen looked at Liu Yuan coldly. This guy looked like he was sick. He didn't know anything and still dared to make irresponsible remarks here.
"You!" Liu Yuan's expression changed. Zhou Zichen was so good at blaming the blame, and pointed the finger directly at himself.
"It's mine, Master Liang. I was brought here by Mr. Jiang. Even if you can't trust me, you should trust Mr. Jiang. Don't worry, this thing won't let you down."
Zhou Zichen didn't wait for Liu Yuan to speak and said directly to Liang Dahai.
But I was afraid that Liang Dahai would not agree. After thinking for a moment, I could only say: "Master Liang, if you are not worried, you can polish it now. If you are satisfied, accept it. If you are not satisfied, I will leave directly."
Bai Bing still had a meeting to hold at noon. If it continued like this, he determined that the meeting would not be held. In order to save time, Zhou Zichen could only do this.
Liang Dahai glanced at Zhou Zichen, then looked at the small piece on the counter, weighed it twice in his hand.
"Wait for me for a while." Liang Dahai found the tools from under the counter and turned to Zhou Zichen.
Liang Dahai walked into the house. No one knew what he was doing, while Zhou Zichen and others were waiting outside.
"Let's take a rest, I'm really tired." Zhou Zichen said to Jiang Gan and Bai Bing, and then glanced at Liu Yuan. If they wanted to see a joke, they could just wait. It didn't matter whose joke they got to see in the end.
"Hmph! The results will come out later. Let me see how arrogant you are!" Liu Yuan looked at Zhou Zichen with cold eyes. The lesson Zhou Zichen gave him yesterday was still in his mind. Today he was able to seize the opportunity. He Don’t believe that such a small piece of material can produce flowers?
Zhou Zichen ignored Liu Yuan and chatted and laughed with Bai Bing for a while, just doing nothing.
After half an hour, Liang Dahai quickly walked out of the room with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Take it, I'll take it! I'll take your order!" Liang Dahai said to Zhou Zichen slightly excitedly. His move made Liu Yuan instantly dumbfounded.
"No, Master Liang, didn't you just say that it's not as valuable as the green bricks in front of your door?" Liu Yuan was a little dumbfounded. If it was just him who thought it was worthless, he might not dare to say anything, but didn't Liang Dahai just say that? Is it worth it?
"When horses stumble, people make mistakes. I was wrong before." Liang Dahai glanced at Liu Yuan. He didn't remember who Liu Yuan was at all, and what he said made Liang Dahai uncomfortable.
"You talk a lot? Remember, trouble comes from your mouth. If you can talk less in the future, talk less. Do you understand?" Zhou Zichen looked at Liu Yuan with a sneer. This guy is like a psycho. Why do you like him so much? Are you asking for trouble?
Jiang Qian also looked at Liu Yuan with a disappointed look on his face. He looked at him and then at Zhou Zichen. Liu Yuan was a few years older than Zhou Zichen. Why were they so different?
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Master Liang. I have something else to do. If you're ready, just give me a call." Zhou Zichen put his business card on the counter, but it only had a simple number on it. He planned to print a batch of them. Gu Ranxuan's business card.
Liang Dahai nodded without saying anything. Liu Yuan ran away in despair at some point. If Zhou Zichen said a few more words, he would doubt whether he was going to hit someone.
"This bastard! He definitely did it on purpose!" Liu Yuan attributed all this to Zhou Zichen. He felt that Zhou Zichen must have plotted against him, and he accidentally walked into his trap.
If Zhou Zichen finds out, he will be depressed to death. It is obvious that this guy is looking for trouble on his own, so what does it have to do with him?
"Mr. Jiang, let me just say there's absolutely no problem, right?" Zhou Zichen said to Jiang Gan on the way back, with a proud look on his face.
"There aren't many things that can attract that kid..." Jiang Qian didn't answer Zhou Zichen's words, but sighed twice. The surprises Zhou Zichen brought to him were too many, right?
