Shenyin Shanhaijing

Chapter 42 Good Jade
After Lu Cheng left, the master craftsman in the engraving shop was still complaining angrily: "What is recklessness! This is recklessness! What a waste of a beautiful Southern Binghong! If I engrave it, Cut it in half, and put it up for auction after carving, and each piece can fetch a very high price!"

The young man next to him said in a young voice: "Master, I think this kid is weird, maybe he stole Nanhong!"

The master's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Do you care if he stole it or robbed it? We are carvers, and we should try our best to produce good works, so let's not worry about other things!"

Xiao Wan said: "Master, I have two rough stones to untie here. Can you ask Xiao Li to help me?"

The young man snorted: "Put two broken stones on the machine and cut them casually. What good jade can they produce?"

Xiao Wan said: "You have to be more careful with the materials."

The old master got up and looked at the rough stone, and said: "Wipe off the outer skin of the small piece, cut a piece of the big piece first, if there is jade, continue to slice..."

So, the young man went to cut a large piece of rough stone, while Xiao Wan used a small cutting machine to polish the skin.

After a while, Xiaowan exclaimed in surprise: "Hey! Such a small stone, I didn't expect it to have jade! It's green, old, and full of water... This man is so lucky..."

A stone slightly larger than a fist was rubbed out little by little, and the outer skin was removed to obtain a sun-green emerald the size of a duck egg.

"Master, please take a look!"

The master worker squinted his eyes for a while, and praised: "Good stuff! If I cut it carefully, I might be able to cut out five ring noodles, four high-ice types on the outside, and a glass type in the middle. It is rare that the color is correct. Yang Qiaoli; if you cut, you can only cut three ring noodles at most... Tsk tsk... I didn't expect to see two treasures in one day..."

"Master, how much can these ring noodles be sold for?"

"The glass type, Zhengyang green ring surface, is slightly larger, 12X10X6 mm, if it goes to auction, it can be sold for 800 million yuan, and the four tall ice types outside are smaller, and can also sell for a hundred. More than ten thousand."

"Then this person is not rich?"

"Hehe, billionaires are flying all over the sky these days, but they are definitely just getting started... Sigh! No matter how expensive jadeite is, it's still a new product, and it can't compare to that old Nanhong..."

Xiaowan took out her mobile phone and dialed: "Hey, Mr. Lu? Your fist-sized rough stone has been cut, congratulations... The master recommends that you polish the face of the ring..."

At this time, Lu Cheng had just sat down in the restaurant when he heard the phone ringing, got up and walked to a secluded place, and said, "Follow what the teacher said! Can you finish it by 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon?"

"I'm sorry, the time is a bit tight, and I can only complete one or two. It doesn't matter, if you leave Hangzhou, we can send it to you."

"Then grind out the glass one first, and I'll get it tomorrow. The rest will be done slowly. How about the other larger rough stone?"

"It's still being cut... Wait a moment, it seems that the first piece has been cut... High ice species, half purple, half green, not cracked, it is a good bracelet material... How many bracelets can be produced, not yet know……"

Lu Cheng thought to himself: "How can there be variegated colors? According to the shaman, only pure jade is good jade. Am I wrong?" He said, "Then let's make a bracelet."

His original intention was to find a few pieces of jade and go back to see if he could carve runes. If he succeeded, it would be wonderful to turn it into a storage bracelet!
Now, the first time he gambled on stones, he got two pieces of high-quality jade, and he was a bit reluctant to waste them.

After all, he has no carving experience, so he should start with cheap jade.When you are sure, you can use jade carving.

He hung up the phone, walked back to the restaurant and sat down.

Mother Rao Yuqiu asked: "Who called? Is it Jiang Qiuyun?"

Lu Cheng said: "No. When I came out of the Olympic Sports Center in the afternoon, I passed a stone gambling shop, bought a stone and gave it to someone else to cut. Just now the other party called and said that there is jade in it, which can be used as a bracelet. Mom, wait for me Make a bracelet and give it to you first!"

Rao Yuqiu smiled and said: "You want to buy a bracelet for Jiang Qiuyun, and you can get me by the way?"

"hey-hey……"

"Brother, I want a bracelet too!"

"You are too young to wear a bracelet! When you grow up, I will make it for you myself."

"I want that shiny bracelet..."

"What shiny bracelet?"

Rao Yuqiu said: "It's the kind of children's bracelet, gold-plated, silver-plated... She mentioned last time that a child in the kindergarten wore it on her hand. I didn't buy it for her..."

Lu Cheng said, "How about I buy her a silver-plated one?"

"What do you buy that for! Children don't wear bracelets! What if they are kidnapped?"

"Mom, no one abducts children these days."

"You said there was no such thing?"

In fact, by 2027, there will be very few child abductees, because the state has severely cracked down not only on traffickers, but also on those who buy children. All look at the ID card, children have a special ID card since they are one year old!That kind of ID card is like a soldier's nameplate, with detailed information on it, including date of birth, parents' names, blood type, and DNA data.

If it weren't for the opposition from many people, the nameplate would have been reduced in size and implanted in the muscles of the children's arms. No matter where they go, they can be identified by scanning the serial number.

Lu Cheng and his mother ordered a few local dishes, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Dongpo Pork, Straw Duck, and two vegetarian dishes.

After eating, Rao Yuqiu felt very good, and said with a smile: "Son, I will go with me wherever I go to compete next week!"

Lu Cheng said, "Go to Xiamen next week."

"Xiamen? You must go! You call Jiang Qiuyun."

"Okay, I'll try."

Because Jiang Qiuyun was only a sophomore, if Rao Yuqiu didn't go, she might not be ashamed to go. She was alone and widowed and stayed in a strange city for two days.If it's a senior year, the family members won't be watching so closely. If something goes wrong, it's a big deal to get married as soon as possible.
