Chapter 399 Chapter 399 Encounter

"Are you two looking casually, or do you need something specific?" The shop was a little deserted. The owner of the shop was a middle-aged man who was reading a newspaper. At this moment, he suddenly saw Jia Sidao and Ah San talked and laughed.While entering the shop, and, after taking a look at a few low-level things placed at the entrance of the shop, his eyes quickly passed by.This is a sign that only experts have. Of course, it is also possible that a layman who doesn't understand anything is pretending to understand. "Let's take a look at it first." Jia Sidao said.

"It looks pretty good." Ah San said, "Boss, do you have any good bloodstones in your shop?" "Hehe, if you're looking for chicken blood stones, the two of you have found the right place. Here I am..." Before the boss could continue to praise him, Ah San stretched out his hand to stop him, and he couldn't help being stunned.It seems that Ah San's behavior is quite unkind. "Just take something out and have a look." Ah San said indifferently, "I just came to see the bloodstone. As for my friend, you can just let him look at it by himself. You don't need to go now Leave him alone."

"Okay." The boss nodded, and then, after a while groping in a small grid next to the cashier, he actually took out a seal, not big, about a finger and a little higher, about The three fingers are thick and thin, and the carving is relatively simple. There is nothing special about it, and it has a very 'natural' feeling.However, when Ah San saw it, her eyes lit up involuntarily. For the carving of chicken blood stone, in fact, the most important thing is to carve according to the situation.If the natural bloodstone itself has a certain shape, it doesn't take much thought.Of course, this is also because the piece of material itself is relatively small. Once it is carved, it will be laborious and prone to mistakes. It is better to simply show people's 'true face'.Or, none of the people known to the owner of the bloodstone are proficient in carving.

What makes Ah San more gratified is that this bloodstone has a relatively sufficient "blood volume", and the color is also very vibrant and bright.After careful estimation, there must be 'blood' on half of the surface. "Very good." Ah San praised, and then directly checked them all.For materials such as bloodstone, it is not suitable for long-term care under strong light.Ah San is not a pure layman, so he naturally knows this, and when checking, he is also very careful.After this move, the owner of the shop nodded again and again. "However, the blood color seems a little uneven. Besides,..." Ah San commented while watching, as if he is such a top expert in chicken blood stones, the boss's reaction is not necessary for the time being. No matter, Jia Sidao next to him felt it was funny in his heart, wondering what Ah San could fool him with?

Could it be that Ah San really wants such a bloodstone? However, speaking of it, this is really possible.After all, Jia Sidao and Ah San came here together. At least Jia Sidao had already gambled back a piece of chicken blood stone wool, which can be regarded as a direct consignment back to Linhai, but his Ah San was still empty-handed.It would be unreasonable to go back without a ready-made chicken blood stone. Looking at some stationery in front of him, Jia Sidao was a little depressed because the quality of the things here was not very high.What is particularly disappointing is that there are no conspicuous porcelains, most of them are some inkstones, town stones, etc. It seems that such a small shop, but it also survives with such a big environment in Lin'an County what.This place is famous for its chicken blood stones, and by the way, more shops in the county town sell related objects.

Although not every shop in every household will have chicken blood stones, but it is not far behind. Fortunately, when I was at Jia Sidao’s Antique Street, I was looking at some inkstones from Ma Lao’s side. Not to mention, I still know a little about Chengni inkstones. Now my son will be in this shop again. Seeing a lot of inkstones, although my heart is not full of anticipation, it still feels somewhat familiar. Stretching out his hand to pick up an inkstone, it was relatively heavy, and Jia Sidao used his supernatural perception to detect the inkstone, but he felt that the texture inside it was very delicate, as if it was made of porcelain. The fetal quality feels a bit similar.

Think about it again, and you will understand. If the stone that can be used as an inkstone is not fine enough, it may not be appropriate, right? As a result, a new interest flooded Jia Sidao's heart, that is, to see if among these inkstones, he can find the one with the most delicate texture?If you really find out, then ask the boss about the value of these inkstones of different textures, how much you can still judge the quality of these inkstones, and how much impact it has on the price shown. Suddenly, Jia Sidao pulled a wry smile from the corner of his mouth. It seemed that when he used the supernatural perception before, what he was aiming at was too single, and he was almost just looking at the rough jadeite, especially because of gambling. After the large sum of money brought by Shi Shi, other things are somewhat despised.

For this reason, you will miss a lot of exciting and interesting things, right? As soon as he thinks about it, Jia Sidao keeps picking up this inkstone on the shelf to look at, and then picks up the other one. Fortunately, Jia Sidao's techniques are relatively stable, and he often plays with porcelain. , Picking up the inkstone at the moment didn't feel cautious, or it just felt sloppy.In addition, Ah San was talking nonsense about bloodstones with the shop owner, and even though the boss noticed Jia Sidao's actions, he didn't say anything.On the contrary, he would think in his heart that both Jia Sidao and Ah San are in the industry, right?

"By the way, Ah San, did your negotiation come to any conclusion?" About a while later, Jia Sidao had an objective understanding of the inkstones in front of him, and turned to And asked Ah San. "Hehe, I've taken a fancy to such a bloodstone seal, but the price can't be negotiated." Ah San was also a rascal, and directly expressed her dissatisfaction with the price. On the face of the boss, there was a wry smile. Seeing Jia Sidao's curious eyes, he couldn't help but said: "The price your friend is pressing is too high. I really don't make much money. I'm here. It’s an old shop that’s been around for decades, and the items in it are all guaranteed, so there’s no way to sell them at such a low price.”

However, as the so-called business is not based on benevolence and righteousness, the boss didn't show any ill-will towards Ah San's "stubbornness". On the contrary, he regretted that the transaction could not be completed. "Then how about the prices of these inkstones?" Jia Sidao helped Ah San, who was deliberately finding fault, and said, "If the price is right, we can make a deal." "Oh? This friend is interested in inkstones?" The boss's eyes lit up, as if talking about inkstones was far more exciting than the bloodstone seal just now.Jia Sidao muttered to himself, maybe he met an inkstone enthusiast?

Sure enough, Jia Sidao didn't ask anything here, but the boss himself introduced several inkstones to Jia Sidao. They were family heirlooms, and they were collected from other places. There are almost all the methods, and when it comes to the price, although Jia Sidao doesn't know it very well, he can feel the sincerity on the boss's face when he said these words. If the boss is not an absolutely shrewd businessman, then he must be a person who is full of affection for the inkstone. Jia Sidao is more willing to believe that the other party is the latter. After all, Jia Sidao himself opened a jadeite company or even opened a jadeite store because he liked jadeite, right?Although at the beginning, Jia Sidao was indeed aiming at the profit of betting on stones, but gradually, as Jia Sidao learned more about jadeite over the past few months, Jia Sidao became more and more interested. The most important thing is to discover my love for jadeite. If not, wouldn't there be a move to list jade ornaments like the "zodiac signs" as not for sale?Perhaps, some savvy big businessmen, such as Dong Zong in Hong Kong.You will think that this is Jia Sidao deliberately hanging the appetite of customers, trying to attract everyone's attention.However, Jia Sidao is very sincerely preparing to collect such a set of top-quality jadeite for himself. Even that one 'Blood Jade Bracelet'.Jia Sidao is not going to sell either! Of course, Jia Sidao hesitated at the beginning whether to cut the giant glass-type imperial green jadeite rough, and after returning from gambling in Guangdong, he planned to ensure the integrity of the jadeite material as much as possible, and prepared to send it to the gift box. Mr. Li's sculpture in Jieyang, and his plan to do it himself after he learned the carving technique all show that Jia Sidao's affection for jadeite is growing day by day. If there are still people who say that Jia Sidao doesn't like jade at this time, I'm afraid Jia Sidao himself will doubt it? And the shop owner in front of him seems to be similar to Jia Sidao's situation. It is precisely because he likes inkstones that he opened such an antique shop.This made the conversation between the two more speculative, which could only cause Ah San to stare at him repeatedly.Of course, from the shop owner's conversation, Jia Sidao knew that this shop was inherited by the owner from his father's generation.However, it doesn't hurt the boss's love for the inkstone. More importantly, even in the chat, Jia Sidao roughly figured out the prices of inkstones of different textures, which were really consistent with Jia Sidao's previous guess.Of course, the specific difference is still very big.For example, the price of the inkstone, and the difference in its reputation. It's like a class of things of the same quality, famous ones, after all, have a price advantage, right?Otherwise, what is the need for advertising?What else needs to be advertised? Before leaving the shop, Jia Sidao and Ah San did not buy anything, and they did exchange their contact information with the shop owner. In the vast crowd, meeting a colleague who has the same interests and hobbies is considered a A very happy thing. Before going out, the boss mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally: "Ah San, did you really fall in love with that bloodstone seal just now? If it is true, the price I offered is definitely above the market price level." Why don't you want it?" Embarrassed by Ah San, she quickly walked a few steps and yelled: "Next time you have a chance, remember to go to Linhai to play, I will treat you well." Instead, Jia Sidao said goodbye to the other party with a smile, and also sent out an invitation for the other party to go to Linhai for a stroll.Anyway, it's not a waste of time to just 'scoop' some antiques.However, the shop owner also told Jia Sidao very sincerely that if he really wanted to find some good things here, and if he could still "find the leaks", he could go to a shop called "Yunlai Pavilion" at the other end of the street. Jia Sidao asked, "Why?" The shop owner said in a somewhat unfathomable way: "You will know when you go." In this regard, Jia Sidao is not easy to ask.After catching up with Ah San, who was walking in front, he said something to the shop owner. Ah San immediately decided to go directly to the 'Yunlai Pavilion', regardless of whether there is really a chance to 'find the leak', there is such a hope After that, when I walked, I felt different. However, before he had gone far, Ah San suddenly stopped his steps, looked at Jia Sidao meaningfully, and pointed forward with his eyes. As he walked and watched, Jia Sidao was not very interested in the "Yunlai Pavilion" that the shop owner mentioned. If he could really pick up the leak, why didn't the shop owner go by himself?Therefore, Jia Sidao calmly focused his attention on the other shops on both sides of the street.If there is a seller of porcelain, or emerald or something, I'm going to go in and have a look. Porcelain is purely because of preference; emerald is naturally because it is in the same industry. "What's the matter?" Jia Sidao looked at Ah San in surprise first, followed his gaze, but was also surprised. The person standing in front of a shop door had a graceful figure and a little bit of skin. The wheat-colored Miss Yang.Can't help sighing and muttering. "It's really where we don't meet each other in life." "What a mess. This is called fate, understand?" At that moment, Ah San didn't care what Jia Sidao thought, and just walked over directly.Obviously, when Jia Sidao and Ah San approached, Miss Yang also saw the two of them, and couldn't help showing a knowing smile on her face, and nodded to them. "Miss Yang, is it you who opened this shop?" Ah San, who is not a person, raised her head and looked at the signboard hanging in front of the shop: Shi Zhixuan. If we say that the meeting at this moment was still at the market trading area at the foot of Yuyan Mountain, Ah San would definitely not be so direct, but if we can meet again in Lin'an, such a greeting will not appear reckless up. "Yes." Ms. Yang continued to nod her head, and said with a smile, "The two bosses are sitting in the shop? I haven't asked you how to call them yet." "Hehe, it's easy to talk about." Ah San said with a smile, "It's fine to call me Ah San directly, this one, Jia Sidao, Xiao Jia." Introduce? Miss Yang turned sideways and gave way a little.Ah San happily pulled Jia Sidao, who was still in a daze, and the three of them came to the 'Shizhixuan' together. The initial feeling was that this was a shop mainly dealing in stones, and the place was not big. But it has a lot of "content". In terms of the number of strange stones placed, it is far beyond Jia Sidao and Ah San's imagination.For the rest, there are a relatively large number of chicken blood stones. The red color of that piece is a bit dazzling when people look at it. However, Xu could see that the identities of Ah San and Jia Sidao should also be insiders. Ms. Yang didn't stop at the store, but directly took them to the manager's office at the back. The office is not big, but it looks very delicate. It can be seen that it was made by a woman. It is clean and tidy, and everything is properly placed.Occasionally, some sculptures of chicken blood stones are also placed, which shows that this is in a "Stone Pavilion".And after Ms. Yang took her seat, the women and the beautiful stone ornaments set off against each other, which is considered to have a special charm. To Jia Sidao and Ah San, it seems that people and stones are real fine works. "Mr. Jia, has the piece of wool from the day before yesterday been cut out and turned into fruit?" Maybe she didn't know what to say, but Ms. Yang finally chose to start with the chicken blood stone.No matter how you look at it, this can be regarded as the common preference of the three of them. "Not yet." Jia Sidao smiled sarcastically.It's okay not to mention the piece of wool, but when it is mentioned, Jia Sidao seems a little more humane.Perhaps, Ms. Yang in front of her didn't think so, but Jia Sidao thought so in her heart, and always felt that she should find an excuse and return the favor. Otherwise, just find a brilliant stone sculpture at the 'Stone House' and buy it back at a slightly higher price? On the contrary, it was Ah San who praised it with some carelessness: "Miss Yang's shop should be an old shop that has passed through the years! This specification, this style, is very meaningful..." As for the connotation, Ah San couldn't describe it, it was like walking into an antique shop, and one could clearly feel the connotation, not entirely because of the decoration, but also because of many other factors.Or it is because of the artistic conception emanating from the placed things, or it is pure feeling. People in the antique business line, this feeling will be more obvious. "Ah San, you are joking." Ms. Yang said, "This shop is a branch of our 'Shizhixuan'. It is not young, but it is not comparable to those real century-old shops." "You mustn't say that." Ah San said, "If even this kind of shop can't be regarded as an old shop, then Xiao Jia's shop can only be regarded as a very, very new shop." "Oh, Mr. Jia also sells chicken blood stones?" Because this is Lin'an, Ah San mentioned the shop again, so it's no wonder Miss Yang asked such a question.What's more, Ms. Yang still trusts Jia Sidao's appraisal vision on the bloodstone. "Emerald." Jia Sidao replied, "It was just opened a few days ago. It is indeed a very, very new store." When he said the words 'very, very', Jia Sidao deliberately emphasized it. voice, and then glared at Ah San.However, Xu did not want Miss Yang in front of her to see the joke.I have already talked about my own shop, but Jia Sidao also briefly introduced it.Regardless of whether Ms. Yang has intersected with the jadeite industry or not, there is no harm in getting to know one more acquaintance. However, after Ah San said a few words here, she looked at Jia Sidao with a weird and ambiguous look.Instead, he apologized to Ms. Yang, saying that he was going out for a walk, and asked Jia Sidao and Ms. Yang to communicate more here. Even the reason given was that the two were the owners of their own shops, so naturally they would They share some common language, but an idler like him pays more attention to the chicken blood stones on the counter outside! After Ah San left, Ms. Yang ordered the waiter in the shop to take care of her. In the office, there were only Jia Sidao and Ms. Yang, a man and a woman, and the scene was slightly awkward. Fortunately, at this time, another waiter who was originally preparing tea brought up the freshly brewed Biluochun.It can be regarded as interrupting the uneasiness that gradually pervaded between the two of them.The new tea, placed on the coffee table, exudes a faint, elegant fragrance, and a faint fragrance gradually permeates the office. Jia Sidao involuntarily took a deep breath, not knowing if it was the scent of tea or a woman's scent.In the curl, there is a feeling of lingering aftertaste.Immediately afterwards, Jia Sidao took a sip casually, quietly appreciating the taste of the new tea, just like the two sitting opposite each other, the silent state of mind at this moment seems to be looking at each other without saying anything to each other What, there is a thought in my heart that no one knows. Could it be that this is the joy of tasting tea About a while later.Jia Sidao still couldn't bear it, and said first: "Miss Yang's business is very big. Do you mean to expand to other types?" "Oh? Why did Mr. Jia say that?" It seemed to be Jia Sidao's topic, which was somewhat beyond Ms. Yang's expectations. She smiled and was also quite curious.It was as if Jia Sidao was looking for something to say. "This is not Ms. Yang just now. You said it yourself." Jia Sidao didn't care about the other party's thoughts, but just wanted to talk about the topic as soon as possible. "In my opinion, this shop is already a very good shop. , but it is still a branch of 'Shizhixuan', which shows how big the business of 'Shizhixuan' is." After a pause, Jia Sidao continued to analyze, "When I entered this shop just now, I took a rough look at some stone carvings placed outside, and naturally they are mainly chicken blood stones. However, like It’s Tian Huangshi, let’s not talk about the quantity, there are also many other famous stones. In addition, I feel a little surprised that there are quite a few jade articles.” "Because I saw the jade. That's why you think that 'Shi Zhixuan' is planning to advance in many ways?" Ms. Yang is also very smart. From Jia Sidao's point, it is easy to hear the specific meaning , if Qingtian stone and Tianhuang stone are placed together with chicken blood stone, it is still reasonable.The appearance of nephrite jade is indeed a cross-industry meaning. "Actually, why don't I want to expand it?" Jia Sidao talked about him. "No wonder Mr. Jia is coming to Lin'an." Ms. Yang pursed her lips and smiled, "But is Mr. Jia really a jade shop that just opened recently? In my opinion, Mr. Jia's eyesight on bloodstones It's really not weak. It must be even more powerful in the jade group." While talking, Jia Sidao looked at Ms. Yang's red lips, her heart was beating wildly for a while, and her face couldn't help feeling a little hot. First, she pretended to drink tea, and shifted her gaze. This is Kan Kan's recovery of peace of mind, and he scolded himself for being such a wimp in his heart!You must know that in front of Ji Yanran, or even Li Shiyun, she never had such a state of mind, right? A woman's beauty can indeed bring a lot of troubles in many cases, but more often, it is a fatal temptation, isn't it? Especially when a woman's beauty is concentrated in one point, this allure becomes even stronger.Jia Sidao couldn't help saying: "It's amazing!"Fortunately, at that moment just now, Jia Sidao hadn't brought up the topic of cooperating with 'Shi Zhixuan' yet. In fact, after visiting the chicken-blood stone companies and shops in Lin'an today, Jia Sidao decided to find an ordinary chicken-blood stone store to cooperate with.Contact the big companies that sell bloodstone wool by yourself.People have made it clear that they don't like you, so finding a ready-made shop is naturally the first choice. After all, the shop run by Jia Sidao does not focus on bloodstones, but emeralds.The carving of bloodstone is just an embellishment.Just need a small amount of Acura.Of course, this kind of "small amount" is not something that Jia Sidao can easily obtain by gambling on raw materials in Changhua. And after seeing the display of things in the 'Shizhixuan' shop, Jia Sidao's thoughts quickly changed his actions. During the period of silence, Jia Sidao's mind was just thinking, How should I talk to Miss Yang.This is how Jia Sidao broke the silence between the two.
