Chapter 257 Chapter 257 Handicraft

After careful questioning, it turned out that Ah San wanted to find a suitable job for his girlfriend's friend. No, Jia Sidao planned to open a jadeite shop on the Antique Street.If the woman is asked to come to be a cashier or something, I'm afraid she will be a little worried because the amount of money in and out is too large, but if she is only a salesperson, it will be harmless! Jia Sidao naturally nodded in agreement. Now that Ah San can bring it up, even though Jia Sidao hasn't seen the woman's appearance yet, he shouldn't hesitate to agree even if it's for the sake of Ah San's girlfriend, regardless of Ah San's face, right?But as soon as these words came out, Ah San got angry and rolled his eyes.Jia Sidao couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Ah San, you might as well say that what I said is too true."

"Why?" Ah San was curious, "Could it be that, based on our relationship, my face is not as good as my girlfriend's?" "It's hard to say." Jia Sidao pretended to sigh, and said, "Speaking of which, I really don't like people. Now, you have helped your girlfriend's friend to arrange work. , but I, the person who helps to implement the work, have never met your girlfriend yet." Although the words were a bit awkward, Ah San was a little embarrassed when he said them. "Well, since you've said that, I'll take you to meet her sometime. Let her know what kind of person you are. I told you, the meeting ceremony Don’t be too shabby.” Asan said, a weird smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Jia Sidao’s eyes, which became a little ambiguous, as if any man could understand the meaning, and said, “But , don't say that my friend is unqualified, the reason why I want to ask you to help others implement the work is not for your sake."

"What do you mean?" Jia Sidao asked belatedly. "That girl is my girlfriend's close friend." Asan said this, her voice became much lower, "It is said that things of a feather flock together and people form groups. From my point of view, finding a girl If you are a friend, what will happen to your appearance?" When Jia Sidao heard the words, Ji Yanran's outstanding and graceful figure subconsciously appeared in his mind.It seems that after returning from Jieyang, Jia Sidao never saw her again, nor did she reappear in "Zhou Ji". Jia Sidao wondered, maybe Ji Yanran was also cutting stones, and contacted the buyer. home?

"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking!" Ah San pushed Jia Sida angrily. "Oh, that, where did you say it?" Jia Sidao came back to his senses and asked blurted out.After provoking Ah San's big eyes, Jia Sidao smiled embarrassingly, thought about it, and said, "By the way, you just talked about your girlfriend's beauty, right? I was thinking about it. From your aesthetic point of view, even if the other party is not good-looking, it probably won't be too bad." "You...you're cruel..." Ah San pointed at Jia Sidao, and said angrily, "Well, that saleswoman, I don't need you to bother to arrange it, I'll find someone else to help me. Yes. You are really kind enough to treat yourself like a donkey’s liver and lungs.”

"Don't tell me." This time it was Jia Sidao's turn to comfort Ah San, and said, "Just now, I was just joking. Speaking of which, last time you were planning to chase a woman like Ji Yanran Now, could it be that I still can't believe your eyes?" "That's what you said with a bit of conscience." Ah San replied, "However, I heard that Yanran also went to Jieyang and brought back a lot of rough jadeite. You should have encountered it before. Is she?" "Well, the rough jadeite she bet on is indeed quite a lot, and we even participated in the jadeite fair together." Jia Sidao nodded and said, "I just don't know, the rough jadeite she gambled back, after cutting out, are all What kind of fineness."

"You don't have to worry about this." Ah San said, "You can gamble a lot with such a vision, and I am even more confident in Yanran's vision of betting stones.... Uh, just kidding Just kidding." Seeing Jia Sidao's playful eyes, Ah San immediately changed the subject and said, "But, to be honest, I haven't seen Ji Yanran very much recently. She seems to be talking to Jewelry. Some people from the association are in contact, maybe they are discussing what kind of activities they will hold." "Treasure Appreciation Conference?" Jia Sidao couldn't help asking.This matter has been on Jia Sidao's mind for the past few days.If it is said that Jia Sidao does not want to go there to see and learn more, it is absolutely false.As soon as Ah San said that Ji Yanran was preparing for some event, she immediately thought of it.

In the end, Ah San replied with certainty: "No." Jia Sidao was immediately disappointed. Perhaps seeing Jia Sidao's confusion and frustration, Ah San shook her head, smiled wryly, and said, "The Treasure Appreciation Conference is held in the province, even if Ji Yanran will attend, it's not her turn." Go to the point of organizing. It should be some kind of activity in the city. I’m not very interested in this. Instead of sharpening my head to participate in those activities and so on, I’d rather be famous in the antique street here every week Come on, find something to come out, it’s easy to come.”

"Then you didn't think about making your collection bigger?" Jia Sidao suppressed his thoughts, and joked about Ah San instead. "You think you can play bigger ones if you want to play bigger ones?" Ah San smiled wryly, but then ignored Jia Sidao's joke.For people like Ah San, they don't seem to care how famous they are, and they pay more attention to their own eyesight and the collection they have, right?When he was parting, he explained it deliberately, for example, when Jia Sidao's shop opened, he would definitely come to join in that kind of event.In addition, before opening, he can help with the business certificates and the like, and Jia Sidao only needs to provide the name and information.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ah San also declared that his girlfriend's friend is a beautiful woman. Moreover, she deliberately leaned into Jia Sidao's ear and said, "I'm single, Xiao Jia , you have to seize the opportunity." Even though Jia Sidao was suspicious and curious about Ah San's motives in his heart, Ah San patted his chest firmly and said: "Bet on the name of my girlfriend, that woman is definitely a beauty. Moreover, she is still single now." .” Jia Sidao could only silently put that trace of doubt in his heart. ... The next day, Jia Sidao found Xiao Ma who was setting up a street stall in Antique Street, and wanted to ask what Ma Ye's hobbies were.Of course Jia Sidao knew that Xiao Ma and "Master Ma" both had the surname Ma, but the truth is that they have no intersection other than the knowledge of antiques.It's just that compared to Jia Sidao, Xiao Ma, a street vendor in Antique Street, should know more about Ma Ye's deeds and hobbies, right?

Even Jia Sidao knew very well that Mr. Ma was a great expert in playing antiques, but the word "antique" could cover too many things.The only two times Jia Sidao and Ma Ye met was once in "Zhou Ji", when Ma Ye wanted to go to Uncle Zhou's to find something. At that time, Jia Sidao was still a pure newcomer.For Ma Ye, it was just a quick glance.Another time, it was on the Antique Street. Jia Sidao didn't know what kind of hobbies this Ma Ye had. However, Xiao Ma spread his hands and said that he only heard about Master Ma's reputation, and he could talk about all kinds of antiques.But specifically, he is not very clear.However, it must not be the emerald that Jia Sidao is good at, that's right.

For this reason, Jia Sidao can only admit it, and he has made a trip for nothing. "By the way, Xiao Jia, I heard that Ah San is working on an antique shop over there recently. It's the one I told you about last time. Do you know anything about it?" Beside Dao, whispered something. "Oh?" Jia Sidao's heart moved, and he said, "You also heard about this?" "That's right." Xiao Ma said with a smile, "This antique street near the sea is only so big. Those who play antiques are just these people. As long as there is a little trouble, everyone can still know a little bit." "That's right." Jia Sidao nodded.Regardless of people like Xiao Ma, whether all the information they have inquired about is correct. As the saying goes, there are no waves without wind. In many cases, the conversations between vendors can better reflect the current situation on the Antique Street, Jia Sidao After thinking for a while, he said it very bluntly, "Actually, Ah San mainly helped me sell that shop for me." Because Jia Sidao has already bought the shop, at this moment, there is nothing to hide.Perhaps, Jia Sidao needed someone like Xiao Ma to open a shop on the Antique Street.At least, I can know some gossip more or less. "You?" Xiao Ma was taken aback for a moment, and then he said cheerfully, "I said Xiao Jia, you didn't fool me, did you? With your ability, I'm not a little brother. I said, I want to play." An antique shop is still a bit difficult. Have you contacted the person in charge, the purchase channel and so on?" "Hehe, this, I'm not here to sell antiques." Jia Sidao chuckled and said, "If it comes to playing with porcelain, calligraphy and painting, you don't need to say, I know it myself. With my eyesight, I probably don't If you find a master to check it, you won't be able to play at all." "Then what are you going to do with the store?" Xiao Ma heard the words, rolled his eyes, and understood, "You are not going to sell jade jewelry, are you? It seems that you should be gambling when you go out these few times. There are a lot of good jadeite materials." While talking, Xiao Ma nodded and sighed. Speaking of which, when Xiao Ma saw Jia Sidao for the first time, Jia Sidao was still an out-and-out layman at that time. Who knows, after these few months, Jia Sidao will have the ability to Shops have opened in Antique Street, but Xiao Ma is still dawdling in the stalls. Sometimes the gap between people cannot be directly compared.If not, Xiao Ma might even feel depressed to death. "By the way, Xiao Jia, besides jade ornaments, are you going to play with other things in your shop?" Xiao Ma's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "It's like nephrite, strange stones. and so on. Or, porcelain, copper coins, inkstones and the like.” "Well, for the time being, I don't have any contacts. Moreover, if things are widely managed, especially nephrite, I guess it will feel a bit like a confrontation with 'Zhou Ji'. Although my relationship with Uncle Zhou is not bad , I’m too embarrassed to steal other people’s business!” Jia Sidao said lightly, “However, personally, I prefer to pick up some other things.” "Well, that's good." Xiaoma thumped Jia Sidao's shoulder and said, "I know a few brokers here. If there is a chance, I can collect some good things. When the time comes, your If the store is opened, I can also find another way to sell it, right?" "Hehe, that's natural." Jia Sidao nodded and said, he also understood in his heart that he dared to ask Xiao Ma just now, in order to find a new way for his own things.After all, for a peddler like him, not to mention the things on the street stalls, they are all open-to-door gadgets, but sometimes, he can really find a lot of good things. Instead of selling things to others on the street stalls, it is better to find a suitable channel and give the things to powerful experts. Not only can they sell at a high price, but they can also build good relationships. why not? After parting with Xiao Ma, Jia Sidao took a taxi to Zhou Fugui's factory with hope again! This can be regarded as the last way for Jia Sidao to understand Ma Ye's hobbies.After all, there was a deal between Uncle Zhou and Lord Ma, so he should know some details about it!Most of the time, when it is time to use it, Jia Sidao feels that his network is too narrow.Fortunately, Jia Sidao has only been in the industry for three or two months, and the days to come are still long. Haste makes waste. Especially in the face of some older experts in the antique industry, if you don't follow their preferences, it is really difficult to break into their social circle. Sitting in the taxi, Jia Sidao suddenly appeared in Jia Sidao's mind. In an early morning on the antique street, Jia Sidao was wearing a navy blue gown; he was holding a birdcage in his left hand, and two birds were jumping happily inside. Thrush, and then, Jia Sidao walked slowly while humming a few Yue opera tunes, occasionally shaking his head a few times.With the other hand, he could occasionally make a few gestures similar to orchid fingers, pointing at the thrush inside the birdcage. For a moment, the expression on Jia Sidao's face was a little weird. Could that scene still be me? On the factory side, Uncle Zhou himself was not there. After asking the workers next to him, he found out that Uncle Zhou was away temporarily for something, and he should be able to come back after a while. Jia Sidao didn't care. Instead, Xu Zhiguo, who came from Jieyang, arrived in Linhai a few days ago.Jia Sidao had nothing to say, so he just let him work in Uncle Zhou's factory first.And with him came a complete set of stone cutting and carving tools prepared by Liu Yufei! Jia Sidao also got all of them to Uncle Zhou's factory. At this moment, when Jia Sidao entered the workshop, he saw that Xu Zhiguo was seriously removing and throwing a piece of rough jadeite, which was the one that Uncle Zhou had cut. After a while, there was a little difference. Seeing Jia Sidao coming in, a smile appeared on Xu Zhiguo's face, and he said to Jia Sidao: "Boss, I'm thinking about cutting this piece of jadeite, and get some bracelets first, what do you think?" How about it?" "Oh, how do you say it?" Jia Sidao remembered that when Uncle Zhou first cut such a piece of material, he was still planning to carve it into a large jade ornament. "Isn't this just about to open an emerald shop? If there are no these common emerald styles to fill the scene. Even if there is a large carving, it will not help." Xu Zhiguo's age is only one year older than Jia Sidao , Judging from his previous carvings of jade ornaments, we know that he is a very characterful and assertive carver.In terms of being a person, he is also relatively familiar. No, when Xu Zhiguo arrived on the first day of junior high school, he naturally called Jia Sidao "boss".Jia Sidao himself, on the other hand, didn't particularly care about the age of the two of them, and called him "Xiao Xu", and also explained to him some of the current situation he was facing, and asked him to hurry up, before the store opened. , Carve out more emerald ornaments. Xu Zhiguo naturally agreed. And until now, Xu Zhiguo has not found a suitable house to live in.It's not that there are few houses near the sea, but that Xu Zhiguo simply doesn't have time to look for them.It's just eating and drinking with some of Uncle Zhou's master workers in the factory here.Just focusing on this point is enough to explain Xu Zhiguo's character. In this regard, Jia Sidao is also very optimistic.Originally, he was thinking that he should come forward and ask Lao Yang to help him find a house.It's just because the storage room has not been implemented. If the house is far away, it will be inconvenient. Jia Sidao can only temporarily put this matter aside. Of course, the workers in Uncle Zhou's factory are almost the same as Xu Zhiguo. Everyone has good carving skills. To be honest, the carvings of strange stones and emeralds also have many parallels. Xu Zhiguo felt like a fish in water staying here.
