Chapter 0334 – Luo Jiang
The head fell back and slept again. Until one o’clock in the afternoon, the stomach hungry began to “gurgle”, Zhuang Rui only climbed up from the bed, out of the door to see the white lion pitifully lying in the door, must also be hungry, Zhuang Rui patted his head, his own master when it is really not very competent.
Fortunately, there are Zhuang Min bought meat bones in the refrigerator, Zhuang Rui panned some rice, with a pressure cooker and bones stewed together, ten minutes later, a pot of meat porridge, considered a good meal for the white lion, he took out two bags of instant noodles boiled and eaten.
“Grandma, they say that the rich people eat all day is the sea food, buddy this instant noodles even an egg are not, uh, but it is seafood noodles ……” burp, Zhuang Rui casually threw the bowl to the kitchen, this day and in the middle of the sea rented house is also not worse! How many ah!
Wu Jia’s phone has not come, Zhuang Rui around nothing, to prepare to cut out of the two pieces of jadeite jade meat. Carried out from the basement, put on the table in the living room, carefully measured up, after yesterday’s solution is really too tired, did not look at it.
The smaller, two fist-sized jadeite, is a glass seed, and yesterday solved out of the first piece of the same quality, the west sunlight from the window to shine in, fell on the piece of jadeite, appears to be so radiant, dazzling, even if Zhuang Rui has already seen it once yesterday, at this time can not help but be deeply engrossed in it.
If the red jadeite under the light is like a young girl in love, beautiful and introverted, then the sunlight of this piece of red jadeite is like a passionate and exuberant woman, colorful light, raise the eyes back between the eyes, move the heart.
Eyes stayed on this piece of jadeite after a long time, Zhuang Rui only withdrew, looking to the ice seed material, this piece of material and next to the glass seed red Fei placed together, the gap is very obvious on the highlighted, although the color difference is not much, but the luster appears to be a little dark, can not give a person seems to have a feeling of babbling brook in which the flow of the feeling.
Ice red Fei’s volume is much larger than the glass seed, weighing more than forty pounds. The size of a basketball, which if the skillful jade master, at least can take out thirty bracelets out, the rest of the material, can also be made into pendants, play pieces and pendants and earrings, is also worth a lot of money.
Zhuang Rui now heart has begun to calculate up, the two fist size of the best red jadeite, should be able to take out five bracelets to, the value of more than 50 million, of course, Zhuang Rui is not intended to sell, he is ready to take out a pair of grandmother and grandfather’s seventieth anniversary of the wedding as a gift to the grandmother, and the other four stay in the hands first.
When he thought of this, Zhuang Rui’s mind suddenly appeared several girls’ figures, Qin Xuan Bing is naturally the first one, and then there is the valiant Officer Miao, and the gentle and lovely Nurse Song, but the one that makes Zhuang Rui’s heart itch the most is the flavorful Liu Da Host.
“Cough. You can’t be too shameless as a human being!”
Zhuang Rui coughed forcefully, pulling his thoughts back, casually picking up the remote control on the coffee table and turning on the TV.
“Sister, this is my gift to you.”
The conversation between the two women on the TV suddenly made Zhuang Rui’s eyes widen, because what the woman sitting on the horse was holding in her hand was exactly a pair of bracelets.
“No way! Sister, I’m the younger one, it’s only right that you should accept this gift from me.”
“No, listen to me, this is the heirloom of Shiyu and their family!”
“Ah? This is Shiyu’s family heirloom, so is mine!”
At this moment, the mother of Fang Shiyu, played by Xiao Fangfang, took out a large string of bracelets and said, “Come on, come on, out walking in the jianghu, the most important thing is the word of a gift, as the saying goes, the gift of many people is not to be blamed, the seeers have a share.”
Subsequently is the kung fu emperor of the life of the footage, Zhuang Rui has seen several times before this movie, but now the heart just remembered that nasty idea, how with the TV so similar ah! One just pondered who to give this bracelet to!
“Buddy is a decent person, alas, but these days it seems that in addition to the Arabs, no one can have three wives and four concubines, right?”
Zhuang Rui long sighed, changed a station, who knows just put dozens of sons of that stallion emperor Kang Xi. Look at the Zhuang Rui is also a burst of chest tightness, angry directly to the TV off, it is not obvious bullying, buddy color heart color courage now have, next to the woman is not.
Fortunately at this time, the phone rings around, hard Zhuang Rui heart of the evil fire to suppress, looked at the number, is Wu Jia called.
“Master Luo has arrived? Good, good, I’ll come to your store right away.”
Zhuang Rui heard that Master Wu’s disciple had arrived, and after hanging up the phone, he hurriedly locked the two pieces of wool back into the basement, and drove straight to “Stone Zhai”.
“Xiao Zhuang, come, I’ll introduce you, this is my disciple Luo Jiang, out of the teacher for more than ten years, now in Yangzhou carver, is also a number of famous, to your jade, will not be blind to your material.”
Zhuang Rui just walked into the stone fastness, he saw that Master Wu was sitting on the sofa in the store. Accompanied by a forty-something middle-aged talking, Wu Jia on the side to pour water for the two, the old man’s hands are not good, eyes are good, a glance saw Zhuang Rui, and quickly reached out to greet him over.
“Hello Master Luo, this time I have to trouble you, old master, you sit down, how dare you get up ah!”
Zhuang Rui walked over and greeted the middle-aged man. Seeing Master Wu rising to greet him, he quickly reached out to assist him and said, “Master, your vigor is much better than a while ago!”
“Alas, old and decrepit, even playing a few pairs of bracelets have to move out of the apprentice, not useful!”
The old man sighed and said to the apprentice beside him, “Luo Jiang, Xiao Zhuang is a benefactor to your master, you have to do his work well! The rules of our profession should be remembered, don’t engage in those vain things.”
Luo Jiang quickly stood up at his words and respectfully replied, “Master, don’t worry! I know the rules, I promise not to smear your old face.”
“Alright, among these disciples of mine, you have the best reputation and good craftsmanship, that’s why I found you here, you talk to Xiao Zhuang first, Jia Jia, help me, let’s go to the inner room.” Master Wu stood up trembling, helped by his granddaughter to go inside.
“Master Luo, what’s wrong with Elder Wu? What are the rules in this jade carving business?” Zhuang Rui could see that Master Wu didn’t want to listen to the conversation between the two, so he probably avoided suspicion and walked away.
Luo Jiang stood up and shook Zhuang Rui’s hand, let Zhuang Rui to the sofa and said, “Oh, private work like this, the rules in the jade carving business, is not allowed to disclose the proprietor’s information, master his old man valued this the most, that’s why he had this comment.”
Zhuang Rui realized that Luo Jiang was very tall. A little taller than Zhuang Rui, the person looks very simple and thick, smiles and gives a feeling that can be trusted, and his hands are also very wide, in the tiger’s mouth and fingers, covered with thick calluses, and Zhuang Rui imagined that the pair of skillful hands of the master jade cutter, completely different.
However, Zhuang Rui heard the ancient master said, jade cutting masters in this line of work, and calligraphy and painting masters have some of the same, that is, in their forties, is their peak period, because in the twenties and thirties, the experience will inevitably be insufficient, and to the fifties and sixties, the energy is a little weak, so the age of the early forties, is the age of the most easy to achieve results.
Like the works of some modern and ancient masters, the pinnacle works that have been handed down to us were all accomplished in their prime, and although some masters also have no shortage of masterpieces in their later years, no matter how you compare them in all aspects, it is still the works of the middle age that are the most perfect.
Of course, like the old man like jade master, although it is old, but its vision and experience to far more than these younger generation, really go to spend effort to do out of the object, not necessarily worse than them, but from the time and the number of, naturally, is far worse.
To make an analogy, the object that old man Gu spent half a month to carve out is definitely better than the thing that Luo Jiang carved out in three days, but the difference will not be very big, so the work like Zhuang Rui polishing the bracelet that does not require too much of craftsmanship, it is the most suitable for Luo Jiang to do it.
“Boss Zhuang, I don’t know if you have all the materials ready? If it’s all ready, we can start working today.”
Luo Jiang looks like a real person, did not mention a word of wages, directly to start working, but this is also a kind of self-confidence performance, the mouth said again good sound, the hands do not have a good work to take out, the same useless.
“Jade material I am ready, but no need to rush, you just came to Pengcheng, do you want to rest for a day? Just stay at my home, the jade cutting place is also there.”
Zhuang Rui was satisfied with this Master Luo in his heart, and then added: “Call out to Old Man Wu in the evening, let’s have a meal together first! I have to thank Master Wu more for this matter as well.”
After Luo Jiang heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he said, “Master probably won’t go, so let’s forget it!”
Sure enough, in Zhuang Rui into the house to the old man said, Master Wu really do not agree, waved his hand and said: “Do not engage in those, my old man what have eaten it, if there are good objects in the future, set to my store for the old man I support the facade on the line, the two of you to go to work it!”
“Okay, old man, I’ll give you a surprise.”
Glass seed material carved out of the object, Zhuang Rui does not intend to sell, but those ice seed material carved out of the thing, but can be given to the old Wu this store part of the pendulum sale, and their own ice seed material, the color is very positive, polished out of the carnelian bracelet, although it can not be comparable to the blood jade bracelet, but the price of a bracelet, but it is also as high as the price of a million or so.
