The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 902

"You are quite brave, aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Professor Wang was very happy to hear what Bai Meixi said. He wanted to verify his judgment, so he made another cut on the stone without hesitation. This time, green appeared on the other end of the original stone, and the color was brighter than before. good.

Xiaojun shouted excitedly, even more excited than when he received the excellent antique before.

"If you make this piece of jade into bracelets, you can make four or five bracelets. However, I suggest you make it into an ornament and not waste such good materials."

Professor Wang has helped people carve jade before, and the material Bai Meixi has is definitely of the highest quality. If he finds another craftsman who knows how to carve, the price of this jade can be doubled several times.

Bai Meixi also brought several other rough stones to Professor Wang's laboratory. Only one of the five rough stones was of slightly inferior quality. The other four were ice-type mutton-fat jade, each of which was priceless.

After Professor Wang saw the size of these pieces of mutton-fat jade, he called a friend of his. Soon a middle-aged man in his 50s rushed to the school and looked at the pieces of stone in Bai Meixi's hand. Full of praise.

"I haven't seen such good Hetian jade for a long time. Can you carve these pieces of jade for me? I can give you money."

The middle-aged man was so excited that he could not speak coherently. Bai Meixi thought he was going to buy these materials and quickly waved his hand. The price of this kind of stone in modern society is at least tens of millions. Even the richest people in this era cannot afford it. to this price.

"Comrade Xiaobai, this friend of mine is a jade fanatic. What he means is that as long as you give him the jade for carving, he can give you money, but the things will be returned to you."

Professor Wang looked at Bai Meixi sincerely, hoping that she could trust the candidate he recommended. As long as she could let Lao Ma carve these jade stones, he could help her unravel the stones no matter how many stones she had in the future.

Master Ma is a descendant of an aristocratic family. His family has been in the jade carving business since his ancestors. He was later assigned to the stone carving factory. Because of his exquisite craftsmanship, he was designated as an eighth-level worker.

But the feeling of carving stone is different from that of carving jade. All the money he has earned over the years has been used to buy jade. However, these things are very rare and the price is extremely high. With the money he saved for a year or two, he can only buy a small pendant. The ingredients are not satisfying at all.

"Master Ma, can you show me your previous carvings?"

Of course, Bai Meixi knew that the value of jade would double after carving, but it must be made by a famous artist or the shape must be ingenious to achieve such an effect. She was afraid that Master Ma would waste her good material and cause the price of jade not to rise. fall.

"I have one here. Take a look first. There are some at home that were handed down from my ancestors. The big ornaments can only be seen in museums. There should be several pieces in the museum in Beijing that were carved by my ancestors."

Master Ma took out a jade pendant from his arms. This jade pendant was only about the size of a thumb. The carvings on it were actually the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. The appearance of each character was very vivid. It was obvious that Master Ma had amazing skills.

What's more, since the things carved by his family can enter the museum, it shows that the technology is extraordinary. Things carved by such a family may have extremely high historical value in the future.

"Master Ma, I will leave these stones to you. After each stone is carved, I will give you 100 yuan."

Naturally, Bai Meixi couldn't let Master Ma do it in vain, so she immediately took out a deposit of 100 yuan, which made Master Ma very happy.

Jade has been hard to come by in recent years, and he thought his family's craftsmanship was about to become obsolete, but he didn't expect that there would still be people willing to collect these things. "Sister, is it too risky for us to do this? Those jade materials are so valuable, what if they run away!"

Xiaojun has been worried since he came out of college. They only have a receipt written by Master Ma and Professor Wang, but what is the difference between this kind of thing and an IOU.Compared to the price of those few pieces of jade, it was really insignificant.

"Xiaojun, people often say that a gentleman is as good as jade. I believe in the character of the two of them. What's more, it is not easy to sell the jade in the current situation. Even if they sell it, it is easy to trace their whereabouts."

Bai Meixi is not worried about this matter. Nowadays, everyone regards work as an iron rice bowl. A few pieces of jade will never make an eighth-level worker give up his job and embark on a life of escape.

"How are you doing lately? Did you receive anything?"

Bai Meixi and Master Ma agreed to come back to see his works in half a year, so that she would have enough time to go to HT City to purchase jade materials. Before she left, she wanted to take away all the valuable things in Xiaojun's hands and let them He has ample cash flow.

"Sister, the things I have received recently are too mediocre. I will give them to you when I get good ones." Xiaojun has his own business experience. He has now paid off Bai Meixi's money and quietly left a lot of good things for himself. .

When Bai Meixi visited the prison again, she brought a lot of things to Cheng Haiyi, enough for him to use for several months.

"Meixi, are you going back? It's better to go back as soon as possible. Our living conditions here are much better, so you don't have to worry."

Cheng Haiyi thought Bai Meixi was leaving. She had been sleeping and sleeping in the desert with her children for several months. He couldn't bear it if she continued like this.

"I don't want to go back yet. I heard that HT City is nearby and many people go there to buy jade. I also want to take a look. If we can come across good jade, we won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives."

Bai Meixi proposed the idea of ​​going to HT City. She planned to collect a batch of rough stones as a reserve fund for their small family. However, HT City was inconvenient and it would probably take her three to five months to come back.

The jade in HT City was once famous all over the world, and Cheng Haiyi had also heard of it. However, now that arrogance and extravagance are being eradicated, and all kinds of jewelry are regarded as symbols of the pursuit of capitalist pleasure, the future of jade is not optimistic.

"It's just that the sales are not good now and the price is low so we can afford it. If everyone thinks jade is valuable, how can we afford it? Besides, I just went over to have a look. If I don't find anything I like, I will come back immediately. "

Bai Meixi thinks this is a great opportunity. Not only are the jade prices of this period low, but there are also many emeralds that are rare in modern society. If you can get a few pieces in your hands, they may be worth hundreds of millions in the future.

"If you like it, you can go and have a look, but you and your child must be careful and come back as soon as possible. It's all my fault for dragging you down."

Cheng Haiyi has always supported Bai Meixi's decisions. What's more, the living environment in HT City is definitely much better than Gobi Prison. Bai Meixi will suffer less wherever he takes Cheng Qian.

Just the thought of mother and daughter starting to live such a wandering life again made him feel guilty, feeling that he was dragging down the entire family.
