Chapter 404 Chapter 404

Even Jia Sidao himself is not very clear at this moment whether the things in the clay inkstone are worth more than a million dollars.However, at this time, Jia Sidao had no better way.Instead of leaving the stage before the fight has started in such a "miserable" way, it's better to gamble with something while you still have something on hand.Even if you fail, you can't get rid of the word "gambling", right? And this, like jewelry and jade, is the most profound and profound word.No matter what old man Yang thinks about Jia Sidao, at least, the word "gambling", especially gambling on jade, is not something shameful in the jade industry .

Jia Sidao wondered if this was his real attempt to "gamble"? "Hey, looking at Brother Jia's expression, it seems that he has thought of a good solution?" Soon, the change in Jia Sidao's expression fell into Yang Fan's eyes, and he couldn't help but asked immediately. "Yes." Now that he had figured out what he was participating in "Doubao", Jia Sidao's expression naturally became more lively. Hearing Yang Fan's question, he couldn't help saying happily, "Since everyone Now that we’ve arrived at Lin’an, we naturally want to meet up with friends from the jewelry and jade shop here.”

Hearing this tone, Ah San couldn't help but looked at Jia Sidao very strangely, and said, "Xiao Jia, aren't you really confused? According to what I mean, when the time comes, you can just take one of my Porcelain to fill up the number, although it may not be able to participate in the 'Battle of Treasures', but at least it shows that we are not here to fool around, right?" "Porcelain?" Yang Fan was taken aback. "Yes." Ah San said with a smile, "Let me introduce again, my job is in the porcelain industry. As for jewelry and jade, that's just my side job." As San said, Ah San was very serious Stretched out his hand.Yang Fan saw it, shook it with a smile, and looked at Ah San with quite strange eyes.It seems that it is a bit confusing for Ah San's character, and Ah San's ability to become very good friends with Jia Sidao.

"Brother Yang, just ignore Ah San." Jia Sidao said helplessly, thinking that it would be better if he didn't know Ah San at this time?Thinking of the funny part, there seemed to be a smile on his face, "He is such a person, if you really follow his words, he can give you a topic for three days and three nights." "This is what you call a man of temperament." Yang Fan was also taken aback for a moment, and then he patted his hand, and said something like this, which attracted Ah San's splendor. It seemed that because of Yang Fan's understanding, Ah San's chest They are straighter and taller.

"However, Brother Jia, I don't know what your idea is? If it is really the porcelain that Ah San mentioned, it is naturally not suitable." Yang Fan pondered and said, "It is best to use rough jadeite or something like that. Yes. In this respect, Jia Xiong is very good at it. You know, when the treasures are revealed later, each of them will compete with each other. It would be a bit indecent to quit." "That's natural." Jia Sidao also understood Yang Fan's worry.After all, at the beginning, Jia Sidao told him that he did not bring the rough jadeite.In this way, there should be no such thing as jade jewelry.And for an expert who plays with jadeite, besides jadeite, what kind of things worth over a million dollars can he carry with him?

As for the package between Jia Sidao and Ah San, Yang Fan still had some expectation for it.However, after Ah San mentioned that the inside was porcelain, Yang Fan was not so eager to see and see. Jia Sidao smiled slightly, wondering whether he should solve the mystery and tell the two of them what he was going to take to participate in the "Battle of Treasures". In the hall of "Mouse", Suddenly there was a cheerful piece of music.In addition, the light that was originally as bright as daylight gradually turned into darkness. what happened? Jia Sidao's heart moved, and he found that there was a dazzling strong light on the side of the "Shou" character he saw when he just walked in, matching the place illuminated by the light, golden The flannelette is brilliant.

And then, a muscular old man with gray temples and mixed silver and black hair walked over with a smile under the arm of a woman in a white dress.There is deep family affection, sweet love, the meaning of life inheritance between two generations, and the happiness and beauty that make people's heart beat... They walked slowly and cuddled each other. This kind of blood-linked and dependent father-daughter relationship was vividly expressed at this moment.All the people present applauded secretly, and gradually, prolonged applause broke out. Some elderly people, in the warm corner of their hearts, are also looking forward to whether they can become the protagonist of such a warm picture one day?

Or, is this just the most splendid and harmonious moment in life? And among the applause of the crowd, the old and the young are naturally tonight's birthday man, Mr. Yang, and his daughter, Yang Siyi.Jia Sidao was no stranger to Yang Siyi, but he was a little surprised by what she was wearing tonight.You know, in the previous three meetings, the other party was all dressed in capable and smart simple clothes, just like an ordinary working woman, not much different. If not, I'm afraid Yang Siyi would not go to Yuyan Mountain to buy chicken blood stone wool in person, and get along with the street vendors there.

However, the white dress that he suddenly wore at this moment added a bit of softness to him, as if at this moment, that delicate face became much softer, and sometimes the fluttering appearance of the white dress seemed to be a bit softer. While being noble like a princess, it also has the mood of an ordinary little woman. Of course, what's more, Jia Sidao still attributes such a performance to the old man Yang who is beside Yang Siyi. I am afraid that only such a old man can make the children who follow him show a little bit. Humming look? Miss Yang supported her father and sat down at the round table in the middle of the hall. Relatives and friends of the Yang family and old friends of Mr. Yang also sat on two sides. In the corner where the people are, there is not so much attention at this time. I only saw that after Mr. Yang had already sat down, everyone sat down again, and the lights in the hall were brightened again, and it was colorful. It was as if the beautiful picture of that moment just now appeared in everyone's minds and passed by in a flash.

"A good show is about to begin." Ah San, who stood up and applauded for a while because of Mr. Yang's appearance, now took a sip of red wine and said to Jia Sidao secretly, "Xiao Jia, tell me the truth, although I like you and Miss Yang very much, but don't do anything stupid later on?" "What do you mean?" Jia Sidao was slightly taken aback. "Isn't that right? There's still a 'Baobao' activity. I'm afraid that something will happen to you. Hey, although I mean it well, don't really push me out then." Ah San Some earnestly said.

"Hey, tell me the truth, did you see someone you know and feel that you will be ashamed later?" Jia Sidao saw through Ah San's disguise at a glance. If not, how could Ah San Will you be humbled at this time?This is not in line with Ah San's behavior style. "Gao, you really deserve to be Xiao Jia." Ah San blatantly flattered Jia Sidao, but she didn't directly point out which acquaintance she was.Jia Sidao became even more skeptical. He glanced at Ah San, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Okay, I surrender." Ah San quickly gestured and said, "It's just a woman. However, she is not from Linhai, but from Shaoxing. There is no big intersection, just acquaintance." "Well, the first few sentences are still true, but this last sentence, you can tell your girlfriend when the time comes." Jia Sidao said heartlessly. "Isn't it?" Ah San lamented, looking at Jia Sidao's eyes, as if she wanted to have as much resentment as she wanted. ... While Jia Sidao was chatting with Ah San, the master of ceremonies who presided over tonight's birthday banquet had already stood in front of the stage, speaking some kind words and some compliments loudly.Then, it was the representative of the Jewelry and Jade Association in Lin'an, who stood on the presiding stage and gave a speech.Jia Sidao looked at it curiously, and it seemed that the representative looked very typical.Bald, chubby, beer belly.These few words seem to be specially set for him. Ah San pointed at that person, and said, "Hey, you can tell it's an official!" "Puchi!" Jia Sidao didn't say anything here, but Yang Fan couldn't help laughing, as if he felt that his behavior was a little strange, and said to Ah San, "Don't look at other people's words." The shape is not very good, but in the identification of jewelry and jade, you still have some eyesight. My old man, you even praised him to me." "I'm just targeting his 'elegant' look." Ah San spread her hands and said, with an innocent expression.Yang Fan watched too much, but let Ah San go.There was a posture of not being surprised, and for a while, Ah San made fun of herself. And the representative of the Jewelry Association, when he was about to speak, actually paused a little, and made a full gesture, which made people feel that the posture was like making a big speech. After all, the leader at any time , Don't you all need to speak slowly, and then give a sonorous and powerful speech? In the end, the person in front of him was nice, and he looked good enough, and what he finally said were three simple sentences.First, welcome everyone, then congratulate Mr. Yang, and finally finish with one sentence.There was bursts of applause immediately, and the feeling from the heart almost made people feel like eating honey! The speeches of the few people who followed were varied, like representatives of the industry. After all, Mr. Yang's "Stone House" is very famous in the local area, and it can be regarded as a leader in the chicken blood stone industry. An insider came out and talked about it Nagging is also very appropriate.In addition, there are speeches by several old friends of Mr. Yang, the kind of old people who feel the friendship between friends after they have known each other for decades. It contains infinite power, which makes young people envious. At this time, no matter whether you have a successful career or are still working hard, you will subconsciously look at the partners around you. Just like Jia Sidao, who looked at Ah San right now, and Ah San also looked over tacitly.There was no spark flying between the two of them, and there was no tacit understanding and smile at each other.It's so plain that there's almost no waves, but it's so caring, everything is so natural. In Jia Sidao's mind, it seemed that several decades later, he and Ah San were both over half a hundred years old, and at the birthday banquet, there would still be a picture of the smiling old face of the other party!That kind of faint warmth, the feeling that everything is unspoken, is unprecedented and makes people look forward to it! On the way, there was also a congratulatory message from the city leader, who was read aloud, which can be regarded as the government's side, which gave Mr. Yang enough face.In any case, people in the jewelry industry, especially a century-old store like "Shizhixuan", are considered big taxpayers in the city, aren't they? After a long time of excitement, it can be regarded as entering the main topic of tonight's birthday banquet. The master of ceremonies officially announced: "Now, everyone here, the long-awaited moment has arrived. The 'Treasure Offering' event has officially started. Today, I took a look, and there were a total of 17 collectors participating. By the way, a digression , these seventeen collectors are all young heroes. As for why? Haha, let's guess for ourselves!" Hearing what the master of ceremonies said was funny, everyone present also smiled cheerfully, only Yang Siyi who was sitting next to Mr. Yang frowned slightly.A woman, especially a shrewd woman, is visibly sensitive at such times.Naturally, he understood the subject of the master of ceremonies.However, she didn't seem to have any changes in her expression, and she just glanced at the master of ceremonies in surprise. Sometimes, even if everyone knows it in their hearts, the feeling is not the same as someone saying it positively. Fortunately, at such a moment, Yang Siyi naturally wouldn't stand up and say something.Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that the master of ceremonies teased a woman like Yang Siyi a little bit, right? If it was in normal times, I am afraid that there would be no such open and aboveboard opportunity. "Next, I will call out the names of the treasure presenters in turn, and then the hostess will collect the prepared treasures from the person, and then place them on the host stage, which is the long table in front of me, in a row , for everyone to appreciate slowly." The master of ceremonies' voice continued, loud and magnetic, "The first collector to participate in the 'Present Treasure' is the local general manager of 'Tianxing Jewelry', Mr. Zhang Jiansheng, The treasure offered is..." The master of ceremonies' voice dragged on a bit.At this time, everyone present is also eagerly waiting. "Why, you don't want to know, what is the treasure that Zhang Jiansheng participated in the first "treasure offering"?" After Yang Fan looked around at the reactions of the people around him, even Ah San looked at the emcee lady and walked towards Zhang Jiansheng On Jia Sidao's side, he was drinking alone, and he looked not interested at all, so he couldn't help asking very strangely, "You want to participate too, but you are a competitor... " "Because it's a competitor, there's no need to watch it at this time." Jia Sidao said with a calm mind. "Didn't the master of ceremonies talk about it? A total of 17 collectors participated in it. Hehe, wouldn't it be a shame if everyone waited so nervously to see what happened every time someone was mentioned?" Wasting a lot of energy?" "It's true." Yang Fan was obviously surprised by Jia Sidao's answer, and nodded after thinking about it for a while.For him, all the treasures that participated in the event will actually be placed on the host stage later, and everyone will have the opportunity to get in close contact with them. It's nothing more than the difference between seeing it a few minutes earlier and seeing it a few minutes later. While the two of them were talking, the hostess had already received a small brocade box. You don't need to open it. Judging from the appearance, everyone can guess that what is hidden in it must be one of the precious jewels. Like, or, some small pieces of jade.And judging from the quality of the brocade box, the things inside shouldn't be too bad, right? As for the power to uncover this brocade box, it naturally falls into the hands of Mr. Zhang Jiansheng.However, that also needs to wait until all the treasures participating in the event are unveiled and placed on the display stand. Jia Sidao shook his head disapprovingly of such a mysterious act.On the contrary, some young women here, even those middle-aged women, when facing the brocade box, or to be more precise, when facing the jewels that may appear in the brocade box, the expectation is obvious. Higher than the men present! Everyone has the love of beauty! The temptation of jewelry and jade to women is really greater than that of men.For Jia Sidao, even if he likes jadeite, it is because of the charm of jadeite itself, or because of the huge benefits that jadeite rough can bring to Jia Sidao. And for women, the love for these jade jewelry is almost natural! "Second place, the treasure of Mr. Qi Liangwei, the deputy general manager of Jinding Consortium, is very big and heavy. Hey, you have to be careful." The master of ceremonies stood on the host stage, doing his best Embracing the atmosphere of the scene, he said, "You can see, the two hostesses are carrying it together, and they still feel very strenuous. No, the security guards on the side also walked over to help. It's really a big thing." what……" The words of the explanation are almost directly spoken, and what is contained in the box is a piece of wool.As for whether it was chicken blood stone or not, Mr. Qi Liangwei wanted to use it to curry favor with Mr. Yang, it was beyond the master of ceremonies' ability to know. "the third……" The master of ceremonies was on the presiding stage, saying names one by one, and introducing the treasures that participated in the "treasure offering" activity one by one.However, Jia Sidao can be regarded as seeing that none of these treasures, at least from now on, can know what they are.Either hide it in a box, or put it in a box. At worst, it will be covered with a red cloth. Among them, there are some fragile items. The owner of the treasures directly placed them on the display stand without worrying about Miss Master of Ceremonies taking over.There are also some in pairs. For example, the treasure No. 5 can be found from the shape without removing the red cloth covering it. It should be a pair of carved ornaments. specific material only.Jia Sidao can even judge from the slightly exposed outline of the shape, and then put himself in the imagination, and roughly judge that these are a pair of mandarin ducks. Really good idea! Jia Sidao couldn't help but look at Yang Siyi.Regarding the arrival of Jia Sidao and Ah San, Yang Siyi is naturally very sure.After all, it was also an invitation sent by her.However, Jia Sidao and Ah San chose to sit in the corner, and now there are fifty or sixty tables in the entire hall, and it is not easy for Yang Siyi to find someone among them. Especially as one of the two most conspicuous people tonight, the entertainment around Yang Siyi, whether it is the leader or the elders, will always keep her busy, right? When Jia Sidao looked at her now, she was also looking at several treasures on the display stand.The expression on his face was a bit confused from time to time, and from time to time a faint smile spread out, as if the scene was guessing what each treasure on the display stand was like! Suddenly, Jia Sidao felt someone pushing him lightly, and when he looked up, it was Yang Fan, who couldn't help asking curiously: "What's the matter?" "Hey, are you dumbfounded by looking at people?" Yang Fan obviously noticed Jia Sidao's gaze just now, and at this moment, he said with a smile, "I said you should go on stage Is it? At this time, you can always tell me, what kind of treasure is it?" For the "porcelain" that Ah San deliberately prevaricated just now, Yang Fan really didn't believe it in his heart. "This..." Jia Sidao was thinking about revealing something, and glanced at Ah San's side, especially the package next to Ah San, and then, he heard the master of ceremonies on the rostrum calling his own Name, exactly in the thirteenth place.If you are a superstitious person, you might sigh: What a good number! A young lady of ceremonies probably found the locations of the seventeen people who participated in the "treasure offering" from the registrant at the door at about the time beforehand. At this moment, she wanted to find Jia Sidao. It's not too much work either.Just after the master of ceremonies on the host stage called out Jia Sidao's name, he walked over slowly. For a moment, to Jia Sidao's surprise, Yang Siyi's eyes followed the steps of Miss Master of Ceremonies from the center of the hall, and found Jia Sidao erratically. , It seems that he didn't expect Jia Sidao to participate in the "Treasure Offering" activity, right? However, Yang Siyi soon understood Jia Sidao's purpose.For the two companies that are about to cooperate, Jia Sidao's actions, in Yang Siyi's eyes, are undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill, expressing his sincerity to "Shi Zhixuan".This made Yang Siyi feel slightly joyful in his heart.Or, he just felt in his heart that it was not in vain to hand over the invitation to Jia Sidao this time. However, after Jia Sidao took out his "treasure" with a smile, Yang Siyi's face suddenly showed a somewhat dumbfounding expression.Not only that, Yang Siyi was not the only one who was surprised, even Yang Fan, who was sitting next to Jia Sidao, looked at Jia Sidao very strangely at this moment.Ah San, who was more familiar with Jia Sidao, even opened his mouth slightly, and temporarily forgot to close it back. Just at that moment just now, Jia Sidao hurried to Ah San's side, casually took out his clay inkstone from the package, placed it heavily on the tray of Miss Etiquette middle.The hostess lady was even a little dazed, and almost turned over the plate in her hand. Firstly, it is because this clay inkstone is indeed a bit heavy, and if you do not pay attention in advance, it is really not stable; secondly, that is, among the seventeen "treasures", this first one is completely The treasure that appeared in front of everyone's eyes is really surprising in terms of appearance. Rather than saying it is a treasure, it is better to say that the clay inkstone that Jia Sidao took out is an ordinary inkstone in an ordinary person's house.Judging from the surface, the color is a bit burnt yellow, with a slight touch of gray and black.Judging from the process when Jia Sidao took it out, it seems that Jia Sidao himself did not cherish such a clay inkstone very much. Because just when Miss Manners was holding the tray with a slight tilt and was about to lose it, standing in front of Miss Manners, Jia Sidao, who was closest to the tray in Miss Manners’ hand, couldn’t even reach out. The movements of support are all lacking.Such a scene, in the eyes of a caring person, naturally has a lot of meaning. If you say that this clay inkstone is worth over a million dollars, if it were you, would you believe it? "Xiao Jia, are you kidding me?" Even Ah San doubted her own eyes at this moment.After wiping her eyes, Ah San made sure that she was not mistaken, and when she looked at Jia Sidao again, there was much more meaning in her eyes. Speaking of which, apart from Jia Sidao himself, Ah San was probably the one who knew the clay inkstone best among the people present.As for the rules of "Doubao", Ah San also learned from Yang Fan's mouth.Jia Sidao was able to take out the clay inkstone, and he really did not make a mistake. It is much better than taking out porcelain, right? If Jia Sidao really took out a piece of porcelain, although everyone would not say anything, it would not have any substantial impact on Jia Sidao's reputation. Even more famous.Moreover, a person who plays with rough jadeite actually takes a piece of porcelain to participate in the "treasure fight" of "jewelry and jade", is it considered famous? This is why Ah San continued to help Jia Sidao fill in the name of the "Doubao" after knowing that Jia Sidao might be a little embarrassed. However, Jia Sidao didn't take out the porcelain at this moment, and the sensation caused by it was far more than that. Ah San couldn't help giving Jia Sidao a blank look, and that expression seemed to say: Well, if you think this will make you famous faster, then you are already very successful. Just before noon, when Jia Sidao bought an ordinary clay inkstone by accident, which cost about 2,000 yuan, Jia Sidao dared to directly put it on the "Doubao" worth a million dollars. If you are not really sure that you can "find the leak", then you are a lunatic in the antique shop. Ever since, in the entire birthday banquet venue, for a moment, it was almost audible. Not only the hostess, but also Ah San and the other guests around were staring at the mud on the tray in a daze.The naked original ecological appearance, the slightly clumsy feeling, and the ugliness that looks simple and elegant, but is really worthless, with no carvings at all, and the bare appearance, all give people In infinite shock! The only thing that can be called strange is that there are traces of long-term use on the whole clay inkstone. "Strange, really strange..." "It's not worth it, it's not worth a million at all!" ... Words like this, after a while of silence, began to flow gradually throughout the birthday banquet scene.Yang Fan also deliberately gave Jia Sidao a look of "you are cruel".The hint of meaning in the corner of the mouth really made Jia Sidao's state of mind, which was still as calm as water, faintly create some waves. Could it be that this thing is really taken by mistake? When Miss Manners, carrying this clay inkstone, walked towards the display stand with difficulty, a somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on her face, which had always been relatively calm.Perhaps, at this time, in her heart, she was also annoyed that she would choose to go to Jia Sidao because of this?You know, Miss Manners, she is not the only one.After the struggle in his heart surfaced on his face, in the eyes of everyone, it added to the strange color of such a clay inkstone!
