Wear It with Space

After hearing Shen Ling’s explanation, Zhou Jin raised one eyebrow slightly, “Xu Bing, before I found out that your passbook, did you want to tell me about borrowing money?” He continued, “Don’t Answer me in a hurry, what I want is the truth."

At that moment, Shen Ling suddenly felt that after returning to the life of marrying into the White Mansion, the Bai Lang who had been with her all her life was as calm and self-sufficient as the person in front of him. However, Zhou Jin had one more thing than Bai Lang, young and mature. Obviously he is only in his twenties, but he acts like a middle-aged man and is almost indifferent, purely analyzing things rationally.

After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he fixedly looked at Shen Ling, as if to look into her heart.

Shen Ling smiled faintly: "Of course I want to tell you. Because I had planned to invite you to go with me."

After her words fell, Zhou Jin's face changed a little, and he couldn't tell what his expression was, but in short, it was neither angry nor happy. He said somewhat complicatedly, "Invite me to go with you?"

Shen Ling said briskly: "You are quite talented in antiques and have a good understanding of jade. If you are asked to go, if you really encounter those better rough stones, you can also give them a reference."

Shen Ling didn't intend to hide Zhou Jin from the beginning, and let Zhou Jin use such an expert, wouldn't it be a waste. Furthermore, Zhou Jin's presence will also give Song Yuan a signal to let him completely give up on Xu Bing in the future.

It's just that although Shen Ling thought better, Zhou Jin was still skeptical of her, but since Shen Ling invited him to go with him, it was also a matter of Song Yuan, so Zhou Jin agreed to go to Yunnan with Shen Ling after thinking about it.

Two months later, Shen Ling and Zhou Jin arrived in Dali at the agreed time.

Originally, Shen Ling wanted to go directly to Yunnan by plane, but Zhou Jin was afraid of heights, and the two finally chose to take the high-speed rail to Dali, Yunnan.

After the two arrived in Dali, they met Song Yuan and his master at the entrance of the hotel.

Song Yuan's master, the rock gambler he accidentally saved on the road, was a middle-aged man in his forties. His appearance was nothing special, but his eyes were clear and enchanting.

When Song Yuan saw Shen Ling bringing Zhou Jin forward, there was no difference on his face. Instead, he greeted Zhou Jin enthusiastically. Zhou Jin also behaved very calmly, and exchanged a few words with him politely.

Then Song Yuan introduced the master around him to Shen Ling and Zhou Jin.

On the road, Ying Shang had heard Song Yuan talk about bringing two people over. Looking at Song Yuan's face, he was very polite to the two, with a sense of alienation in his politeness.

After a simple greeting, Ying Shang took the three of them to his friend's house. His friend's surname is Mo, and he can get a lot of white salt and sand leather materials. In the past few years, he has mostly bought rough stones from this friend. Although the cut materials are not all good, it is better than buying fake rough stones from those who don't know the basics.

On the way, Ying Shang briefly introduced Boss Mo's temperament and some things that need to be noticed when choosing rough stones.

Song Yuan listened very carefully and asked a lot of questions. Ying was very patient and answered his questions one by one. After Shen Ling remembered Boss Mo's temperament and precautions, he focused on the scenery outside the car. Zhou Jin kept his eyes closed since he got in the car. He had a slight motion sickness, and he still didn't notice when he drove by himself, but once he got in the car, the problem was exposed.

Fortunately, the distance was not far. After half an hour, the taxi stopped in front of a villa.

Yingshang should have greeted the boss Mo before. As soon as a few people got off the car, a bodyguard walked out of the villa and invited them to the underground garage.

The garage occupies a lot of space. There are a few expensive luxury cars parked outside, and the innermost is a few rough wooden frames with a few light bulbs hanging on them, which can be seen clearly under the bright light. There are many stones with different rules.

Song Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw the stones. Those stones were the original stones Yingshang had told him about.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, followed Yingshang, and walked towards the wooden frames.

There is also a wicker chair next to the wooden frame. A bald man is sitting on it holding a teacup and drinking tea. He is the boss Mo that Yingshang said.

After meeting Boss Mo, Ying Shang first said something auspicious, which is also what he liked. Before coming, Ying Shang told them that Boss Mo is more superstitious and likes to listen to auspicious words instead of bad words.

Boss Mo put down his tea cup, glanced at the three people Yingshang had brought, and said with a smile: "Thanks to everyone, business has been pretty good recently. I just don’t know whether the three guests you brought, Boss Ying, have to see or gamble. a bit."

Ying Shang pointed to Song Yuan and said, "This is a new apprentice I have, and my family is relatively short of money. Let me try my luck." Then he looked back at Shen Ling and Zhou Jin, "These two are friends of my apprentice."

Shen Ling smiled and said, "Let's take a look first, and talk about it if we like it."

Boss Mo has a music score in his heart, and he greets a few people to a shelf, "These are some small pieces of wool from the Pakant field. You can take a look."

Since Ying Shang said that Song Yuan's family was short of money, he naturally wouldn't have a lot of money. Boss Mo showed them a few hundred and thousands of small pieces of wool.

Song Yuan didn't care much. Based on the knowledge he had learned these days, he took a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see the pine flowers and halos that Yingshang said.

Shen Ling took out a bottle of calcium tablets from the bag, unscrewed the cap, took a calcium tablet and threw it into his mouth, and then pretended to look around. The medicinal properties soon came up, and there was a feeling of heat around her eyes, and then she saw that the black sand material in front of her was only dark inside.

Shen Lingqiang resisted the excitement in his heart and scanned all the wool on the shelf with his eyes. Among the more than two hundred pieces of wool, only two small wools have a little green, but not much, but the size of the fingernails and they are relatively thin.

Shen Ling put his gaze in front of a shelf where Yingshang was standing, and walked over slowly. The wool on that shelf is relatively large, mostly white salt sand leather.

Shen Ling scanned it with a perspective eye, and found that the top layer of the shelf had a small piece of white salt sand leather covered with a piece of green material with a good head. The green color was very pure and looked like it was Like a swath of clear water.

Shen Ling immediately stood on tiptoe and took down the small piece of wool, pretending to take a closer look, and then asked Boss Mo for the price.

Zhou Jin couldn't help taking a look at Shen Ling's place. Before coming, Yingshang told them the rules of Boss Mo here. For small pieces or worthless wool, he usually pays a good price, but for larger or better wool, he usually doesn't pay the price. If you really want to buy and feel that the price is high, you can bargain slowly, but one thing is that you can’t talk about the price and you won’t buy it in the end. The bodyguards raised by Boss Mo are not for casual meals.

Seeing Shen Lingdong asked, Boss Mo still smiled, “That piece of material is white salt sand leather produced by Mogoin, so the price is higher. For the sake of Old Ying, I will give you a cheaper one. The price is 20,000 yuan."

Shen Ling said: "Twenty thousand is a bit too much, fifteen thousand, okay?"

Zhou Jin walked over slowly, first took a look at the piece of material that Shen Ling fancy, and then helped Shen Ling and Boss Mo to negotiate the price, and finally reduced the price to 16 thousand.

Shen Ling was in a good mood after buying that piece of wool, and then looked for it on those shelves.

Ten minutes later, she found another piece of wool that was very ordinary in appearance but contained a piece of light purple jade flesh inside, and bought it for five thousand yuan.

As for the other woolen materials, the jade meat in it was either very small or the water head was not good enough. Shen Ling picked up two of those worthless ones. As for the high-priced and bad-quality woolen materials, she gave up.

And after an hour of careful selection, Song Yuan finally spent money to buy five yuan of wool. Shen Ling glanced, there was only a piece of jade flesh inside, and the water head was not good.

After they checked out, Boss Mo asked them if they wanted to calcite the stones on the spot. He had ready-made machines and masters here. Song Yuan and Shen Ling both refused.

The four of them separated in the original hotel. Zhou Jin carrying a weighty bag, followed Shen Ling and asked, "Tomorrow I am going to visit the antique city in Dali. Do you have time?"

This was the first time Zhou Jin took the initiative to ask Shen Ling after the two were awkward because of Song Yuan.

Shen Ling immediately turned back and smiled: "Of course I am free." It is rare for Zhou Jin to take the initiative once, how could she miss this opportunity.

After returning to the hotel room, Shen Ling took advantage of Zhou Jin's opportunity to take a bath, and then took a close look at the jade in those pieces of wool, and then searched the Internet for prices of similar materials.

After Zhou Jin took a shower, he saw Shen Ling holding his notebook while browsing the jade carving website.

"Why are you suddenly interested in jade carving?"

Shen Ling thought for a while and said: "Actually, the jade carving industry is developing very well now. Do you want to quit my current job and study jade carving."

Xu Bing's previous job was a clerical clerk, with little technical content, and it is estimated that there is no future prospect. After accepting the task, Shen Ling planned to change his profession, but never thought about it. Now that the price of the carved jadeite that pops up on the Internet is better, I am moved.

In fact, it's pretty good to be a jade carver. She is confident that she can get a lot of good materials in the future, and she has patience. It shouldn't be difficult to do this job. If it becomes bigger in the future, it is not impossible.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, it took a long time to check the information, so it was too late.
