    The jewelry taken out from the counter is generally worth tens or hundreds of dollars. For more expensive items, you have to go into the room to appreciate them.

    Generally, higher-end jewelry and jade shops will have partitions or VIP rooms. Precious jewelry is somewhat similar to antiques. The emphasis is on not getting the item in hand. Put the item on the table and let the customer take a look at it by himself. This way, even if he accidentally  Even if you break it with your hands, you can also clearly distinguish the responsibilities.

    There is also a separate room in Shitou Zhai. It is not large and only has a coffee table and a row of sofas. However, in a corner of the room, there is a safe as high as half a person, which must be used to store valuable jewelry.  Yes, Zhuang Rui looked up after entering the door. There were two cameras installed on the ceiling.

    "Young man, sit down, Xiaojia, go get a cup of tea."

    After entering the room, the old man greeted Zhuang Rui and sat down on the sofa.

    After Zhuang Rui sat down, he said straight to the point without being polite: "Old man, I am from Pengcheng. I have been to your shop when I was a child. Your craftsmanship is well known in Pengcheng, so I still hope to hand over this piece of jade."  It's up to you to carve it. As for the cost of processing, that's not a problem. You can give a price"

    ¡°Cough¡­cough cough¡­¡±

    Hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the old man's face flushed. Just when he was about to speak, he was blocked by a mouthful of phlegm and coughed violently.

    "Grandpa, don't get excited. Mr. Zhuang, what did you say to my grandpa?"

    Wu Jia, who had brought two cups of tea, just entered the room. Seeing his grandfather's appearance, he quickly put the tea on the coffee table and kept patting the old man's back.

    "It's none ofit's none of the young man's business, Xiaojia, you can sit down too." The old man coughed for a while, drank some water, and then slowly calmed down.

    "Young man, this piece of jade is worth a lot of money. Based on this size, if you make a smaller ring surface, you can probably grind out fourteen or five of them, and the rest can be used to make a pair of earrings.  All added up, it should be able to sell for about 17 to 8 million.

    But if you carve it into a pendant, you can only produce four or five at most. If you can sell it for tens of millions, it will be good. Why do you have to make pendants?  If you want to give it to your family, you can also buy some other items.  "

    The old man saw that Zhuang Rui's dress did not look like a rich man, so he had some doubts in his heart.

    "Haha, old man, this money is endless, but if you miss this thing, it will be difficult to meet again. This is the second time I have seen the imperial green jade, so I'd better make a few pendants and leave them to my family.  , no matter how important money is, it is not as important as family members."

    Zhuang Rui had already made up his mind, and naturally he would not change it with just a few words from the old man.

    "It's my old man Meng Lang. You are right. No matter how important money is, it is not as important as family" Zhuang Rui's words made the old man sad. For a moment, he burst into tears and couldn't help himself.

    "Grandpa, it's all in the past. Don't think about it anymore. If you don't take care of yourself, what will happen if Xiaojia is left alone?"

    Wu Jia tried to persuade him a few words, but it made him feel uncomfortable, which made Zhuang Rui a little restless. He knew clearly that the two people in front of him had lost their sons and fathers, but they still said those words, so they were not making others feel uncomfortable.

    After seven or eight minutes, the emotions of the grandfather and grandson calmed down. The old man wiped his tears and said to Zhuang Rui with some embarrassment: "Young man, I'm sorry, I thought of something sad"

    "It doesn't matter, old man, the deceased has passed away, but we living people still have to live well." Zhuang Rui comforted him.

    "Haha, most of my body has been buried in the ground, and I still need you to comfort me. I am old, really old.

    "Young man, if you want to polish this piece of jadeite into a ring surface, I can still use my strength. Although my hand is not as stable as before, the polishing and polishing technology of the ring surface is not high, so it should be no problem.

    But if you want to carve it into a pendant, I don¡¯t dare to take on the job. If it had been done two years earlier, even if you didn¡¯t carve it for me, I would have paid you to do it for you. But my hands have been shaking so much in the past two years.  I'm afraid I might have damaged this piece of jade by accident.  "

    When the old man spoke, there was a look of regret on his face. He had carved countless jade in his life, even the best jade such as blue-eyed mutton-fat jade, but he could not cut it up and down on the imperial green jade. Now in front of him  Although he had such an opportunity, the old man was no longer as brave as he once was.

    Having played with jade for a lifetime, the temptation of this top-quality jade to the old man is no less than that of a drug addict seeing marijuana, but due to his own reasons, he cannot carve it with his own hands.The old man felt extremely uncomfortable.

    "I do have a few apprentices, butwell, forget it"

    This piece of jade is too precious, and if there is a slight mistake in the carving, it will be difficult to make up for it. The old man is really worried about the few apprentices he has brought with him for just a few years, but his early apprentices are not.  They have all established their own businesses, and they are not in Pengcheng now.

    "It's okay, old man, I'll think of another way. Please take care of yourself. I'll leave now"

    Zhuang Rui stood up, a little disappointed in his heart. This Shitou Zhai is a time-honored brand in Pengcheng. If he can't take the job here, then there is no need to go elsewhere.

    Seeing Zhuang Rui getting up to leave, the old man quickly said: "Young man, just wait a moment. Just because I can't do it doesn't mean I can't find someone to do it."

    "Oh? Please tell me, old man" Zhuang Rui sat down again.

    "These pendants are usually the twelve zodiac signs, or Guanyin Buddha statues. The most exquisite carving craftsmanship is. If you are using ice material, I would dare to let my apprentice carve it. However, the glass imperial green material is too precious.  If he misses, the old man can't afford to pay for it.

    Let me introduce an old friend to help you carve it. His craftsmanship is unique in our industry. With my face and your piece of material, I think he will not refuse it, but you have to make a trip.  In the capital, you have to come to your door in person.  "After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Zhuang Rui, waiting for him to make a decision.

    "Old man, which master are you talking about?" Seeing that the old man spoke highly of that man, Zhuang Rui asked.

    "I know, Grandpa, you are talking about Grandpa Gu, right? Huh, although Grandpa Gu is powerful, he may not be better than you."

    Before the old man could reply, Wu Jia shouted out, but she was a little dissatisfied with her grandfather's words. In her heart, her grandfather's craftsmanship was the best.

    After Wu Jia finished speaking, he saw Zhuang Rui's face was a little strange, thinking that he didn't believe what he said, and said angrily: "Don't believe it, what I said is true. My grandfather and Grandpa Gu used to be called  "Nan Wu Bei Gu" is very famous in the carving world of the jade shop. If grandpa hadn't been in poor health, the things he carved would not be worse than grandpa Gu."

    "No, no, I don't mean that. Of course I believe in the old man's craftsmanship, otherwise I wouldn't come to your door. It's just that Grandpa Gu you are talking about, is he Gu Tianfeng, Vice Chairman of the National Jade Association?  ah?"

    Zhuang Rui didn't mean not to believe it, but he felt that this world was a bit too small. He and Uncle Gu hadn't seen each other for more than ten days, and now they asked to come to visit again.

    In fact, at the beginning, Zhuang Rui also thought about asking Uncle Gu to carve this jadeite. However, it was not very convenient because Uncle Gu was far away in the capital. Secondly, Uncle Gu had always taken good care of him.  Zhuang Rui felt a little embarrassed because he was going to trouble others.

    Furthermore, he had too much good material on his hands. If Master Gu saw this piece of jade, he wouldn¡¯t know what to say. For these reasons, Zhuang Rui then thought about it.  Pengcheng found a master to carve it, but he didn't expect that after going around in circles for a long time, he still had to find that master.

    However, after hearing Wu Jia's words, Zhuang Rui was in awe of the old man in front of him. Being as famous as the old man, his reputation in the jade industry is not ordinary. There is such a great person hidden in Pengcheng.  ah.

    "Ah you know Grandpa Gu? Then why don't you go find him to carve this jadeite?"

    Wu Jia looked at Zhuang Rui and asked strangely. Although this ancient man was well-known in the jade industry, he was not well-known to everyone. People who were unfamiliar with this industry would generally not know his real name.  .

    "Yeah, I didn't expect you to be in the circle. Old man, I was mistaken."

    Wu Jia¡¯s grandfather originally thought that Zhuang Rui got the jade through other channels, but now it seems that it is very likely that the young man solved it by himself.

    "Haha, I'm not really a member of the industry, but I've become more interested in stone gambling in recent years, and I'm pretty lucky. As for Master Gu, he has some connections with my family"

    Zhuang Rui hesitated for a moment and briefly explained his relationship with the old man. He knew that even if he didn't tell him, wouldn't he still be able to find out the decades-old friendship between the old man in front of him and Uncle Gu?

    "Unexpectedly, you still have this kind of relationship, so it's no problem. Lao Gu will definitely help you carve it. With his help, he won't insult your top-quality jadeite. When you meet Lao Gu, I will  I say hello."

    After listening to Zhuang Rui's words, the old man felt a little surprised. It was indeed a coincidence. Although he was in Pengcheng and had heard of Grandpa Zhuang Rui's reputation, he had never interacted with him. He did not expect that his old friend would actually be with him.  The young man in front of me has such a connection.

    "Thank you, old man. When I go to the capital, I will convey your message." Now that the matter has come to an end, Zhuang Rui is ready to leave.

    Seeing that Zhuang Rui was about to leave, the old man said with some hesitation: "By the way, young man, the old man has another unkind offer. I hope you can consider it" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Coincidentally, although he was in Pengcheng and had heard of Grandpa Zhuang Rui's reputation, he had never interacted with him.
