Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1499 Stocking up on new varieties

"Then what? Is Prince Wei so envious?" Liang Hong asked, squinting one eye and looking along the sword's spine from the sword's grid to the sword's tip.

"But, 'The prince ignores' means that he can't be seen."

"Then Marquis Jing became very angry and asked Prince Wei: 'Does your Wei state have a treasure like me?'"

"The prince of Wei didn't even bother to raise his eyelids: 'The Lord is trustworthy, the ministers are loyal, and the people love the king. These are the treasures of our Kingdom of Wei'."

"Jinghou was so ashamed that he quickly took off his sword and threw it to his servant. He said goodbye in a hurry and left."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed, but Liang Hong said after laughing: "Prince Wei is so poor that he only has one mouth left."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Is this what this story is about...is this what it means?

After taking turns admiring the jade sword, Zhou Zhi cleaned it up and carefully put it back in the display window.

There is a thick layer of glass material piled under the display window. After polishing, it looks like large glue blocks. Some are colorless, with small white dots like snowflakes inside; some are light blue, full of gelatinous light. , there are light yellow and pink ones, all of which are very light in color, but have excellent transparency and gelatinous texture. As the foundation and background of the jade display cabinet, they look elegant and beautiful.

"What are these?" Liang Hong grabbed a light blue stone with white spots: "It's quite pretty."

"These are emeralds."

"Jade?" Yang Honghui was a little surprised: "Isn't jade red and green?"

"That's right, so these are all worthless jade." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "In Myanmar, they are used to make pig pens and fill toilets."

The main developer of jadeite is a businessman from Taiwan. After it is finished, it will be sold on Hong Kong Island.

Since the birth of jadeite, it has been "valuing color over species". This phenomenon can be seen in the many jade artifacts in the Forbidden City Treasure Hall.

Most of the jadeite that is made into eighteen pieces, hat buckles, belt buckles, and Buddha heads in the Forbidden City are Yang green, but the planting water is quite average.

This situation began to change in modern times. Due to the spread of the west wind to the east, the Western method of assessing gem grades was gradually introduced into the production of jade jewelry, and the concept of planting water became the standard for the industry.

But until now, what everyone pays attention to is the planting water of "color materials". That is to say, the prerequisite for talking about planting water is that it must be colored first. Only materials with rich colors are qualified to talk about planting water. First, it must be full of green, and then The glass species, which is rich in gel texture, can be compared to the dragon stone species, which the emperor can grow.

Nowadays, such materials have soared to several thousand yuan per gram, but colorless or very light-colored glass and ice jade raw materials are also called "glass frit" in the industry, which means the same as jade waste.

Suzhou Jade Carving Company, a decades-old factory, has accumulated a lot of such waste products. These waste products have been piled up for the past two years, and the factory only began to try to use dyeing processes to turn them into B-grade products for sale.

Nowadays, even the sales of jadeite A in China are not very good, not to mention jadeite B. After knowing that Zhou Zhi agreed to the acquisition, the factory specially organized manpower to work overtime and polished it brightly and sent it to him together with the jade carving. Even the processing fee was charged. no.

Completely treating Zhouzhi as a garbage collection station!

What's even more outrageous is that knowing that Zhou Zhi wants a large quantity, the factory also organizes people to go to Guangzhou to purchase. There are several Taiwanese foundries there, and there is a large accumulation of "waste" of light and colorless ice glass, which can be found at once. sales. The total cost is less than 100,000. The bottom and background of each counter in the thoughtful jade exhibition hall are piled with large and small pieces of "glass", some of which even have various light colors and floating flowers. With the lighting of the display cabinets, It’s actually quite eye-catching.

Zhou Zhi didn't take it seriously for the jade carving company's "extra income" Xiao Jiujiu. On the contrary, he agreed to continue the acquisition. Anyway, now he has a large warehouse of the wood-healed factory. Every time he sends jade carvings in the future, he will also bring the purchased jade raw materials. Just pack it together.

Because the value is really hard to talk about, this thing is now worth less than Alxa Gobi agate. Suzhou Jade Carving Company is not even embarrassed to let Zhou Zhi advance the deposit first, and just settle the bill every time he receives the goods.

With everyone's help, Zhou Zhi brought three large vats and soaked the three clay sculptures in them.

Huang Lin also came back with Zhou Zhi this time. After two weeks of inspection, Zhou Zhi believed that he was fully qualified to be the chef of Suihuaxuan B&B and officially hired him.

This was Zhang Yuanfu's purpose in itself, and the master was worried about finding a job for this apprentice.

With Suihuaxuan's exquisite tableware and well-equipped kitchen, Huang Lin cooked a "palace cuisine" here to show his boss his true strength.

In fact, he was overthinking it. The guests brought by the boss this time were all peony eaters. Apart from shouting about how delicious they were, how could they know the details behind them?

After seeing off a few people who had eaten and drank well, Zhou Zhi brought the latest WinClover and high-end fashions bought in South Korea and island countries, and went to Caotang Community to give gifts to the new college students.

Yes, the big star in Jiachuan, the little star in China, the youthful and lively classmate Guan Tingting, with her language, politics, geography and history, extremely good in English, average and above-average grades in mathematics, plus incredible professional test scores, she has gloriously become A student from the vocal music department of Sichuan Music University.

So far, there is only one master's degree in ethnic vocal music in China. Tang Qi originally wanted to arrange for Guan Tingting to study for a bachelor's and master's degree in ethnic vocal music and train her well.

Unfortunately, Guan Tingting is now moving further and further away from Mariah Carey's singing style, pursuing the white-and-black Vocal Diva style, coupled with the hip-pop/R&B flavor of pop music. In terms of richness, it is very difficult for the singer to Exercise is indeed very powerful.

Of course, Guan Tingting's current level is still far behind, but she has taken the initiative to modify the way she practices her voice. She still sticks to the national singing method, but she often secretly enjoys the transitions and endings. Occasionally, she can still produce effects that make the teachers shine. .

Zhou Zhi also advised Tang Qi about this. It would be great for a delicate little girl like Tingting to take the initiative to endure hardships to practice her voice. If she were to forcefully change her voice, her enthusiasm might be dampened.

Again, no profession is easy. All snakes bite. Anyway, you will be bitten by snakes in your life. So, if you can find a snake that you are willing to bite, is it also a kind of helpless luck?

Tang Qi thought of Zhou Zhi, a guy who had been clamoring to study liberal arts in his first year of high school, and who had caused a lot of trouble for him in the end. She felt that there was some truth to it. As long as he maintained his interest and was willing to work hard, he could still persevere. , and judging from Guan Tingting's three popular songs now, the results seem to be pretty good.

Only then did he turn around and redesign a new "development route" for Guan Tingting.

The first person to welcome Zhou Zhi was glutinous rice balls. Su Mu was also known for his excessive energy. When he saw Zhou Zhi's shadow, he ran over from afar, circling and dancing around Zhou Zhi.

The most thoughtful way to deal with Tangyuan is to directly hold the handle of Winclover's small bag to Tangyuan: "Take it to sister!"

As expected, Tangyuan was fooled, gave up harassing Zhou Zhi, turned around and ran back into the house with a shout.

"I can't deal with you yet!" Zhou Zhi laughed proudly.
