Chapter 325 Brother Yao's Handwriting

Saying goodbye to Liu Rui, Ai Jiujiu followed Yao Cheng to the backyard. Yao Cheng's store must have cost a lot of money. Both the location and the area are excellent. The backyard is very spacious, so it can be seen that Yao Cheng is meticulous. The decorated ones are elegant and antique, and have the style of the Qing Dynasty in the Kangxi period. Whether it is a carved screen or a hollowed-out flower wall, some of the walls are still hung with calligraphy by literati. It is hard to say whether it is real or fake. Here It's too dark to see clearly, but the overall layout is still very good.

"Sister, how is it? I've cleaned up here pretty well."

"Brother Yao's handwriting?"

It's not an affirmative sentence, it's a question sentence. No matter what Ai Jiujiu thinks, the Yao Cheng in front of him is not the kind of meticulous and elegant person.

"Hey, I'm not going to lie to my sister, I really don't have this ability. The layout and decoration of this store are all the ideas of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They have liked this style all their lives."

"Indeed, very good."

Ai Jiujiu turned around a stone screen and looked around with a smile. There was an open space in front of him. It looked like a few hundred square meters. It was a very large courtyard. The roof of the courtyard was covered with glass. It's the backyard, it should be a hall.

There is a small rockery in the center of the yard, and the rockery is inside a small fountain. From this we can see how much the designer knows how to enjoy life.

Surrounding the small fountain, three outer floors of countertops were set up, which were filled with stones at this time. These woolen materials were cut or opened with windows. The distance between each floor is about three meters, which is completely enough to stand and study. Not far from here is the stone cutting place. At this time, all kinds of men are standing in front of the table, holding flashlights, carefully observing the wool in their hands waiting in line to cut stones, and whispering from time to time. Whispering and muttering strange characters that others cannot understand.

Not far from the fountain, the doors to the warehouses on the north side of the hall are half open, and there is a sign hanging outside each door, with detailed information such as the classification of stones.

From the outside, you can vaguely see the stones piled inside, which is quite spectacular.

After a while, someone picked the stone again, and soon there was the sound of cutting the stone. Through the gap, Ai Jiujiu could see the slices of the grinding wheel of the stone cutter rotating magnetically, and the whole scene fell silent for an instant. After coming down, Ai Jiujiu could feel the tense emotions of the people around him. No one dared to speak now, as if he was afraid of affecting the master stone cutter. It also became a mess.

"This piece is broken again, and there is no green..."

"Ten solutions and nine shakes, this one is settled."

"Hey, what are you afraid of, your family has bought so many stones, it's unlikely that none of them will be green."

"Yeah, I'm unlucky that I don't have a piece of green. Why don't we have that luck...Look at the glass seed in someone's hand. It's obviously from a pit. Why isn't the difference so big?"

"Hey, it's useless to say anything. It's my turn to be a matter of character. I don't think any of the two stones here are green..."

The owner of the stone is obviously not very lucky, and he looks self-pitying, which makes people want to laugh, but can't laugh.

The stone cutter in the center is a man in his early forties who is a friend of the owner of the stone. He is not tall, thin and small, with a peach-pit face, which is quite flat, but his eyes are obsessed with looking at the stone, and he is very dedicated to comfort the stone owner. The master said, "Old Xiao, what are you negative about? After gambling for so many years, you still can't get rid of your negative temper."

"Every time I tell myself, don't be depressed, but when I untie it and find that there is no green, I feel worried." Lao Xiao, who was wearing a jacket, sighed, and the others felt the same way.

This kind of conversation, this kind of scene is very common, except for sighing and pity, no matter how fluctuated in my heart, but turning my head and throwing myself into the ranks of choosing stones again, the sound of the wheel sounded again, and this time there were obviously fewer people onlookers Many, many people were whispering, even if they didn't have magical powers, the voices of those discussions were still scrambling to get into Ai Jiujiu's ears.

"This industry is very interesting."

Ai Jiujiu couldn't help sighing.

Yao Cheng smiled with a smug expression on his face.

"Sister, you don't know if you are not in this business. The gambling stones are all on the word gambling. The emeralds are charming. Look inside, they are all playing with gambling stones all year round, but... this industry, the degree of ups and downs will be high." Stimulate your heart directly. If there are many watery and clear emerald greens in the cut stone, you can become a rich man overnight; You will go bankrupt in a short time, the girl is capable, I won't say much, I believe the girl has a sense of propriety, you don't know that the elder brother is actually contradicting that, and you don't know whether you should be brought here, after all, you are still young... Tsk, sister, look at my mouth shape, betting on stones is like betting on your life, don't try it lightly!"

"Brother Yao, you are not a fool, did you just say this now because you want to get a beating?"

"Cut, am I afraid that you will blame me in the future? Then don't say that I didn't stop you."

Yao Cheng's words seemed to be admonishing her, but in fact they didn't mean that at all. He stated calmly that he thought he was a gambler, but gamblers also have a conscience, just like those written on cigarette packs that smoking is harmful to health , Knowing this is the case, but still making and selling it.

Ai Jiujiu only replied two words, "Hehe..."

Yao Cheng gave a slightly embarrassed smile. Originally, he was going to give Ai Jiujiu Pu a favor in person, but he couldn't stand him as the boss, and the people who called him never stopped. He was so busy that he could only stuff her a book. After betting on the basic book of stones, he entrusted Ai Jiujiu to his assistant, and asked his assistant to take Ai Jiujiu directly into the No. [-] warehouse, and declared that the first five yuan was free.

Yao Cheng's assistant has been with Yao Cheng since he started his career, and he has never been so generous to ordinary people. You can't blame him for looking down on Ai Jiujiu. It's just that Ai Jiujiu's clothes are not in place. , is still the kind of style that can be seen casually on the street. Although the person is very refined and can be given a full score, it can't stand the overall poverty, but fortunately, Yao Cheng, the assistant, has always respected Yao Cheng, and it is natural for his guests He also took good care of him, and he did his best to do his duty.

Then Ai Jiujiu was fortunate enough to hear about the history of woolen materials.

There is nothing that can be seen through the skin of the rough jadeite. If you don’t cut the stone, you will never know whether the rough jadeite is a worthless broken stone or a priceless top-quality jadeite.

During this period, there is naturally a word-gambling!

It is not only about people's eyesight, experience, etc., but also luck.Of course, luck may only be temporary, and the rest of the experience is still the right way, what kind of reckless belt, what kind of pine flower...what kind of water comes out of what kind of venue, it is the key to judge whether a piece of rough jadeite is worth a gamble.

Of course, to Ai Jiujiu, the color of the stone's surface, the mang belt, the pine flower, the mouth of the field, the water species, etc., even if they are memorized in the mind, it is equivalent to rote memorization and has no practical effect. She will not listen Fortunately, the more I listen, the more confused I become.

However, she did remember one thing, emerald—high transparency and bright colors are better...

After entering the warehouse, Yao Cheng's assistant turned on a light at the door and closed the warehouse door a little, and the light in the warehouse suddenly dimmed.Only the not-so-bright light was working. Ai Jiujiu didn't understand the rules in this regard. It was only after Yao Cheng's assistant explained it to her that she realized the reason, and handed her a set of tools, such as a flashlight and a large square mirror.

This wool warehouse is not very big, only more than 20 square meters, in the center of the room.There are hundreds of pieces of emerald wool, large and small, and a row of iron shelves more than one meter high are built around the warehouse.The top is also full of wool, but unlike the ground, these wools are all cut or have windows opened, while the wool on the ground is almost all wool, so the treatment is naturally different.

"Miss Ai, you can look at it as you like."

The assistant took out two cans of beverages from the refrigerator in the corner of the room, handed one to Ai Jiujiu and kept the other in his hand, Ai Jiujiu thanked him, and then realized that although the warehouse was not big, it was There should be a TV, refrigerator, air conditioner and other items inside, and there is actually a camp bed in one corner.

The assistant followed Ai Jiujiu's gaze and explained with a dazed expression.

"The boss just came to the capital, and many people who followed him couldn't arrange it. After the room was not enough, they lived in the warehouse. The environment here is actually very good, and you can also guard the door by the way."

Ai Jiujiu nodded, it's really nice to have someone watching the door, but is it enough just to have someone watching the door?Ai Jiujiu asked unconsciously, and the assistant said in a good-tempered manner, "There are still several Tibetan mastiffs. Now there are too many people here during the day, and they will be put in the courtyard at night. The people on duty are also trained. Usually it can be handled.”

"And these cameras...Miss Ai, you understand."

I didn't expect Yao Cheng to be very cautious here. She thought she understood that Yao Cheng's store had been renovated for several months, why the front was only finished now, and it turned out that all the effort was spent on the back yard. What the assistant said, Ai Jiujiu also found that the door leading to the backyard of the store is controlled by a mechanism. Although the packaging looks good, it is actually made of heavy metal, and the thickness is more than 30 centimeters. , can catch up with the bank's treasury, plus other measures, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an impregnable fortress.

At this time, several people came in one after another. They should be companions. After greeting the assistant, they spontaneously took drinks from the refrigerator and waited for them to come out. They looked around at the stones on the shelf while discussing something. It can be seen that he is a regular visitor here, and he should be familiar with the layout here. Ai Jiujiu didn't talk to the assistant, and squatted directly on the ground, pretending to look at it.
