Chapter 238 Chapter 238

Fortunately, even if Jia Sidao didn't need to talk back and forth, Liu Yufei who was nearby quickly helped out of the siege! Based on the relationship between Liu Yufei and Mr. Li, it is relatively appropriate to casually say some remarks that are circulated in the market. Even if it makes Mr. Li unhappy, it will not defeat Jia Sidao's purpose.Seeing Mr. Li's smiling face after hearing the words, Jia Sidao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He couldn't say, but in fact, Mr. Li himself knew these rumors a long time ago. Afterwards, perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere was not bad, Liu Yufei also told a lot of interesting things about playing stones with Jia Sidao.Playing the emotional card, this is the strategy that Liu Yufei and Jia Sidao decided on the way here.Especially for someone like Mr. Li, if the person who came to invite him to carve jadeite is a wealthy young master who is purely using the best jade material to show off, the old man will naturally not be willing to make a move.

But if you are a person involved in the jadeite industry, you have another opinion. Sure enough, before Liu Yufei said a few words, the way Mr. Li looked at Jia Sidao changed slightly.Who made what Liu Yufei said sound a bit mysterious to Mr. Li? What is the acquaintance of the trip to Yunnan? When Jia Sidao bet a huge rough jadeite, Mr. Li just looked at Jia Sidao playfully, but when he heard that Jia Sidao bet a piece of agate tree , and when it was covered with jade worms, Mr. Li's expression was already a little moved. After all, he is an old man who has been in the jade industry for many years. For some treasures in the industry, compared with ordinary people, he is more tempted!Others don't know the value of those jade worms, but Mr. Li will definitely know the rarity and collection significance of them!

In Liu Yufei's words, that is, if you come to invite Mr. Li to sculpt with hundreds of thousands of labor costs, it is better to invite a piece of top-quality jadeite with a strange shape and suitable for carving. No way, if you are the latter If that's the case, Mr. Li won't even need labor expenses! And when Liu Yufei said, Jia Sidao also gambled out the blue jadeite of the glass species during this trip to Jieyang, and even won the final big victory with a gorgeous gesture in the underground casino, cutting out the At the time of the four-color emerald, even Mr. Li couldn't sit still looking at Jia Sidao's slightly smiling appearance.

Even, Mr. Li gave Liu Yufei a faint look, as if he was suspecting that Liu Yufei was lying to him! Of course, afterward, Jia Sidao asked Liu Yufei about it. There was so much commotion in the underground casino, and Mr. Li was in the Jieyang area. Don't know the specific situation?Liu Yufei explained very naturally: "If you are like my grandfather, although he is no longer involved in the jade industry, but he still pays attention to the market of this industry, he will naturally receive the news soon. Yes. However, Mr. Li only focuses on carving, and he is not very well informed about the jadeite material. If somewhere, a jadeite ornament with outstanding craftsmanship suddenly appeared, perhaps, we have not received the news yet , Mr. Li is already studying the opponent's skills."

For this reason, Jia Sidao can only sigh, even if he is in the same industry, he is also specialized in surgery! The three of them were silent for a while! Mr. Li let out a long sigh of relief, and asked, "Xiao Jia, from what Xiao Fei said, your eyesight in betting on stones should be very good. Have you learned to look at jade since you were young? " "This, I'm a little late in learning." Jia Sidao was ashamed. Speaking of it, if he didn't have the support of supernatural perception, it would be a good thing for a novice like him who became a monk halfway to rashly enter the stone gambling industry. It's not bad to lose everything, how can there be the current scenery?

Ever since, after Jia Sidao heard the words, he didn't seem to have much confidence when he spoke: "Speaking of it, compared to Brother Liu, who has been immersed in the jade industry for many years, I My eyesight can only be regarded as so-so. As for the top-quality rough jadeite, I can bet on it, and most of the time, I still rely on my own luck." "Hehe, modesty is good, but too much modesty is tantamount to pride." Mr. Li would not believe Jia Sidao to gamble with stones, relying only on luck.To say that for these mature people, Jia Sidao's explanation is undoubtedly a bit insulting to other people's IQ!

Otherwise, luck can still allow a novice to bet on good jadeite rough time and time again? Jia Sidao couldn't help but feel ashamed, and quickly said modestly that he was just a little bit luckier than ordinary people.And this time when he came to invite Mr. Li, he also planned to take some of the top-quality jadeite materials he had acquired and carve them into jadeite ornaments. Mr. Li smiled, and muttered a few words: "Not bad, not bad!" Then, as if thinking of something, he asked softly: "By the way, Xiao Jia, judging by your plan, you should want to develop in the jadeite world? Of course, I don't just mean betting on stones, betting on stones." The risk is too great, according to my opinion, it is better for young people to be less involved. ... And you, Xiaofei, despite your good family background, but gambling with stones is inevitable. When you miss, more, you still need to focus on the carving and sales of jadeite bright materials."

"Yes!" Liu Yufei naturally responded quickly. "Exactly." Jia Sidao also expressed his heart, "Otherwise, why would I come to your old man to help carve a few emerald ornaments?" As far as Sidao's current wealth is concerned, he has no worries about eating and drinking. If Jia Sidao wants to continue gambling with stones, Jia Sidao is not too happy.Of course, with the help of supernatural perception, when Jia Sidao said these words, he was a bit duplicity. "Hehe, good, good!" Mr. Li praised two words of "good" on his face, "These days, young people are really interested in these people, there are very few people, and all of them are staring at foreign countries. Diamonds, jewelry, etc. have gone, and even a marriage or something has to be worn with a diamond ring, but the traditional culture of our own ancestors has been discarded, which makes us old guys, I really feel very disappointed." As he spoke, Mr. Li seemed a little embarrassed.

For this point, Jia Sidao quite agrees. Anyway, in this day and age, it is indeed not easy to find a few young people who really know how to appreciate antiques and emeralds.What's more, it is even more difficult to find someone who can tell something about something in it! "Grandpa Li, my little Jia, if you really want to talk about it, the collection of jadeite is second to none. His hobbies are in the collection of porcelain." Xu heard that old man Li admired traditional culture. Well, when Liu Yufei spoke, he naturally did what he liked. "Oh?" Mr. Li was puzzled, and looked at Jia Sidao.

"Well, Grandpa Li, I am also a newcomer in porcelain collection. It's just a small trouble." Jia Sidao said modestly. "Nonsense! Collecting, who didn't start from childhood?" Mr. Li did not agree with Jia Sidao's words. It's pretty good. But, Xiao Jia, you still like to collect porcelain, it seems that, old man, I am a little interested in the jade ornaments you want to carve." He said, and looked at it with serious eyes. Looking at Jia Sidao, it seems that he wants to see some clues in Jia Sidao! "Really?" Jia Sidao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he couldn't help saying, "Grandpa Li, in fact, my original plan was to imitate the emerald treasures that I like in museums, and imitate them." Carve some out and keep them for your own appreciation."

"What a boy!" Mr. Li hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Yufei who was next to him agreed and praised, "You know, I also had such an idea in the past. Make all those emerald ornaments that I like. Come out and store it in your own home. That scene, even if you think about it, makes people fascinated. Tsk tsk,..." While speaking, Liu Yufei rubbed his hands together, his face full of aftertaste.There is no need to guess, he knows that there must be countless emerald treasures in his mind at the moment! "You guys!" Mr. Li smiled, shook his head slightly, and said, "The idea is not bad, and it is really full of temptation. However, don't say that all of them are imitated and carved, even if it is one of them. One piece or two pieces, not to mention the difficulty in technique, even if it is made of jadeite, it is not a time-saving and worry-free thing!" "That's natural." Liu Yufei slammed the bar a few times, and said, "I also gave up because I haven't found any suitable materials. Although there are a few good materials at home, it is more my father's, because We need to consider the issue of capital flow and so on, so we have not been able to get what we want! Otherwise, with Grandpa Li here, there are some ornaments that you can't create." Before he knew it, Liu Yufei patted Mr. Li's flattery a little! Mr. Li didn't care, he always had a smile on his face. Xu Shi, Liu Yufei and Jia Sidao, two young people, must have found a common topic. The conversation between the three of them was much easier! "However, Brother Liu, you are actually not in a hurry. Speaking of which, we are still young." Jia Sidao smiled lightly and said, "One day, we will find a lot of emerald materials that are suitable for carving those precious things. Right. I dare not say that I have imitated them all, but if I am lucky, I can make three or two pieces, and there is still great hope.” "Of course you think so. I'm different. There's an old man above me..." Liu Yufei muttered about the feasibility of this matter!With that preoccupied appearance, Mr. Li beside the teacher sighed: "Hehe, young man. That's great..." "However, having said that, although I don't know how to carve jade, I'm afraid that I will encounter some good materials. If I deliberately imitate those formed jade ornaments, for jade materials, it is a good idea. It's a waste." What Jia Sidao said was true. The huge piece of glass-like imperial green jadeite material hidden in the home, if it is completely removed, it is more than enough to imitate any type of decoration.But if you really want to get rid of such jadeite material, even if Jia Sidao is willing, he will regret it when a master sculptor like Mr. Li finds out about it? The more skilled the carving craftsmen are, the more they will carefully ponder the texture trend of the whole piece of jadeite material before using the knife, and try to keep the natural shape of the jadeite material as much as possible, and make the best use of everything. This is the goal they pursue. !If not, just use all of them to make jadeite bracelets. Not to mention the high price, the process is also simple. And Jia Sidao's words naturally caused Mr. Li to nod frequently, and the gaze he looked at Jia Sidao was extraordinarily soft! At this time, in Jia Sidao's heart, he was slightly sure that Mr. Li would do it himself and help him carve some emerald ornaments. While the three of them were talking, Li Shishi, who had originally left, laughed and walked over holding a box of tea leaves. Seeing him, Mr. Li quickly stood up from the rattan chair, and said to Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei, "Come on, let me give way to you two!" As he said that, he had already cleaned up the decorations on the stone table first! After Mr. Li put the tea leaves in his hand on the table, Mr. Li couldn't help but light up the small alcohol stove himself, and while boiling water, he said, "Xiao Fei and Xiao Jia, you two, let's go today. This one is a blessing! It’s rare for Shishi to take out this small half box of Biluochun. Wait a minute, you guys, let’s have a little bit for each of you, and have a good taste!... In normal time, Shishi can take out this The half-box of Biluochun is well hidden! My old man can’t touch it even if he wants to touch it. I see, it must be thanks to Xiaofei you today...." "Grandpa, just make your tea! Talk nonsense." Li Shishi couldn't help but cast an annoyed look at Mr. Li, "If you talk about it again, I'll take the tea back." "Okay, okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it, it's all over, right?" Mr. Li was also happy, as if Li Shishi really put away the tea leaves, seeing that Li Shishi didn't move much, he continued in a low voice One sentence, "I, I'm just looking forward to you, Xiaofei, and you will come to my old man's side more in the future, it doesn't matter at all, right?" That cramped appearance, in the eyes of several young people, is definitely an old urchin! "Speaking of which, making tea is also very particular. Let's talk about this water, which is the cold spring water from Shenlong Temple!" Mr. Li looked at the flame on the small alcohol stove, fiddled with it a few times, and then continued Said, "This is specially collected from there, and you have to pay attention to the time of collecting the water! As for the control of the temperature of the tea, it is also very particular about the heat. Any more will make you angry, and any less It's astringent!..." As he talked, Mr. Li felt quite at ease by himself. Jia Sidao didn't understand the tea ceremony, but it didn't prevent him from listening to Mr. Li's narration. It seemed that there were countless traditions and indescribable details in the faint rhyme, which made people have endless aftertaste! Even Liu Yufei, at this moment, was fascinated by watching Mr. Li's unassuming movements! The corners of Jia Sidao's mouth curled up slightly, but when an old man is serious about doing something he likes, he is always so happy, especially for such an elegant thing as making tea. But not often.Today, since he came back from Shenlong Temple, whether it is the furnishings of Mr. Li's house or Mr. Li's words and deeds, Jia Sidao has experienced a unique sentiment, making Jia Sidao feel, what kind of Life is full of fun! Even, in Jia Sidao's mind, a thought flashed from time to time: If I were old, could I also be like Mr. Li, living in the countryside, listening to music, and cooking some food? Tea, how about seeing sunset red once in a while? Subconsciously, Jia Sidao's whole body was originally leaning on the wicker chair on the back, but now, his body leaned forward a little, leaning against the stone table.The right elbow rests on the table, the palm supports the head, and the left hand rests on the edge of the right elbow, and the eyes are watching the flames dancing under the small stove on the table. For a moment, the expression is slightly in a trance! Unknowingly, a familiar feeling appeared in Jia Sidao's mind, as if a flat jadeite rough gradually formed a faint phantom.Originally, it was just a feeling of stone texture, but gradually, it was like peeling off the cocoon, so that the whole piece of jadeite raw stone unveiled the mysterious veil, and some irregular jadeite textures appeared inside!The largest part belongs to the ice species, and there are many small pieces of emeralds such as beans and egg whites dotted on the side! The whole piece of rough jadeite is like a chessboard, and those jadeites of different textures are like chess pieces, scattered in it! When Mr. Li smiled "hehe" and started making tea, Jia Sidao suddenly came to his senses.I can't help being distracted by the strange feeling I just had, feeling a little guilty!His face was also red!Subconsciously, he looked at Liu Yufei and Li Shishi next to him. Seeing that they didn't pay too much attention to his expression and behavior, Jia Sidao felt relieved. It's just that when he lowered his head, he suddenly looked at the shape of the stone table in front of him. Isn't it just like the chessboard he felt in a trance?
