Chapter 40 : The old man lost.
The operator of the stone disintegrator was a 30-year-old man. His eyebrows looked a little similar to the little old man who collected money. When he heard Xu Qing's words, he muttered unhappily," If this broken stone can dissect jade, I'll eat it..."
His voice was not loud, but Xu Qing, who was squatting at the side splashing water, heard him clearly. He smiled and replied," I can't bear to eat it if you want to. Why don't you pick up a leftover piece of jade to fill your stomach later?"
The strong man smiled sheepishly, changed the position of the raw material, and firmly pressed the saw blade along the line.
Pa!
Another piece of scrap was cut off, still white, and the dark cracks became particularly visible. The burly man tilted his mouth disdainfully. In his opinion, this piece of material would undoubtedly collapse. It would be a waste for the blind to continue lighting wax.
Xu Qing quickly washed the cut surface and urged," Change the grinding wheel and wipe the stone!"
The brawny man was the son of the stall owner. Hearing this, he felt a burst of displeasure in his heart. He said angrily,"Is a piece of boring goods a half-clear solution?" Do you know anything about stone gambling?"
Xu Qing said coldly," You don't have to worry about whether I understand or not. I spent 600,000 to buy a stone. I'm happy with how to solve it."
The little old man standing at the side knew that he was in the wrong. He went forward and slapped the back of the burly man's head." Stop dawdling. If you don't work, go home and nurse your children."
" Hahaha…" The crowd burst into laughter. Some people joked," Even a child doesn't have that kind of hardware!"
Tang Guobin smiled and said,"Isn't there a milk bottle?" Just hang two pieces of hardware on your chest and you'll have it. They'll use that thing for the super guerrillas…"
" Hahaha…" There was another burst of laughter. The burly man touched the back of his head awkwardly and smiled bitterly." F * ck, f * ck, isn't that enough?" After saying that, he quickly replaced the grinding wheel and wiped the raw material skillfully.
There was no denying that the burly man was indeed an expert in stone cutting. The grinding wheel and the cut surface touched each other with appropriate intensity. The friction sound actually formed a special rhythm. After about two minutes, a layer of white fog was wiped out.
The burly man's eyes lit up. He raised the handle and shouted excitedly," Quick, water it." Xu Qing smiled indifferently and scooped a ladle of water down along the cut surface.
Chi chi! The grinding wheel pushed away the white fog and revealed a warm golden color. The onlookers were also excited for a moment.
"What beautiful chicken oil yellow!"
" Gao Bingzhong Chicken Oil Yellow…Qingzi, you're amazing." Meng Shicheng cheered excitedly and grabbed Xu Qing's shoulder.
"Ha ha ha! I knew you had an affair with the God of Luck. Later, I'll help you choose a good material to kill you." Tang Guobin's smile turned into a cooked dog's head. His nose and eyes were squeezed together.
Old Xue stared at the charming yellow oil with burning eyes. Finally, he could not help but touch the stone. The winner of the bet was no longer important, because according to the bet, this piece was to be sold to him.
When the burly man saw that the old man had suddenly reached his hand under the grinding wheel, he was really shocked. He said anxiously," Old Master, please make way. I still have to continue to untie the stone!"
Elder Xue finally came back to his senses. He reluctantly withdrew his hand and pulled Xu Qing to the side.
"The old man admits defeat. I'll pay double the price for this piece of material according to the agreement."
Xu Qing touched his nose and smiled." I said I wouldn't sell it for double the price. Have you forgotten the conditions I mentioned later?"
Old Xue's eyes darkened. He had indeed agreed to the conditions. This kid had said that he was not short of money. Old Xue was eccentric, but he was famous for keeping his promises. He shook his head and sighed." Forget it. Give me the violet material and phone. I'll bring something to you at this time the day after tomorrow."
Xu Qing put away the smile on his face and said seriously," I said I won't sell it for double the price, but if you give me a real price, I can still accept it. Because this thing can only display its value when it reaches your hands."
Old Xue was stunned for a moment before he understood. This kid was obviously helping him. At his age, he was already a little too old to carve objects, so he had the idea of sealing his sword. This time, he came to the trade fair to choose a few pieces of top-grade jade to complete the final work. This young man in front of him was simple and open-minded, which made him feel touched.
"Young man, thank you."
Old Xue thanked him sincerely. He hadn't thanked him for more than ten years. The young man in front of him was definitely worthy of Master Xue's thanks.
"Hehe! It's no big deal. Let's go and take a look at the stones. There might be surprises in this piece of chicken oil!" Xu Qing grinned and returned to the stone machine with Elder Xue.
The stone polishing work was coming to an end. A piece of pure high-grade ice chicken oil appeared in its alluring shape. When the final base was neatly removed, Elder Xue pointed at the vivid cloud pattern on it and exclaimed excitedly," Golden Buddha treading on clouds! It's Golden Buddha treading on clouds!"
Click--
The grinding wheel spun for a while and stopped. Everyone looked at Elder Xue, whose eyes were red, in confusion. No one knew what kind of strange thing the Golden Buddha Stepping on Clouds was. However, from the old man's expression, it was not difficult to see that this piece of high-ice chicken oil was not as simple as it seemed.
" The Golden Buddha treads on clouds. I didn't expect this old man to have the honor of carving such a rare object in his lifetime. There's no regret in sealing the saber. God's will!" Elder Xue gently stroked the yellow jade with his trembling fingers and muttered to himself. Two streams of turbid tears flowed down his cheeks.
Xu Qing could only smile bitterly and comfort him." Old Master, we agreed to sell this to you. Don't be too excited. You can drag it back as much as you want…"
Old Xue wiped his tears and stood up. He shook his head bitterly and said," If the old man said he couldn't afford this material, would you still carve it for me?"
Xu Qing wasn't the only one who was shocked. Meng Shicheng was so shocked that his mouth dropped open. Elder Xue was a world-class jade carving master with a fortune of more than 100 million, but he actually said that he couldn't afford to buy the material. It was enough to show how precious this piece of chicken oil was.
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment. Then, he revealed a sunny smile and said," If you like, just drag it back to the eagle. When the time comes, I'll give it to you at a cheaper price."
Old Xue's shoulder trembled. He gritted his teeth and said," Good kid, this old man won't take advantage of you. This isn't the place to talk. If you trust this old man, come with me. If you have anything to say, how about we talk then?"
Xu Qing was very single and spread his hands." I'll go if you're in charge of the meal!"
"Ha ha ha! I can manage rice, I can manage you for the rest of your life. I finally thought of something that can buy this material, haha!" Old Xue laughed loudly and actually shed two more tears. When he looked at Xu Qing's face again, his eyes had a hint of love.
A lifetime of work? Xu Qing was a little confused. He thought to himself,'This old man really dares to say that at his age, he can live for at most eight to ten years. Could he ask your son for a meal ticket in the future?'
Meng Shicheng patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and smiled." Brother, hurry up and become your disciple. Old Xue Zhuo Yu's craftsmanship will be considered as giving you three years to live without worry."
"Apprentice?" Xu Qing wasn't stupid. He immediately understood Elder Xue's intention. He thought to himself,'So this old man wants to use jade carving techniques to pay for this piece of yellow jade. However, even if he is willing to teach me, I might not have the time to learn it. Forget it. Anyway, this piece of yellow jade won't be buried in his hands. It doesn't matter if the price is low...'
"Young man, I'm not busy with the matter of apprenticing. Come back with me first!" Elder Xue saw Xu Qing's hesitation and sent out another invitation. He believed that as long as he had seen carved objects, this young man would definitely not refuse to accept him as his disciple.
Xu Qingyi nodded." Alright, we'll go to your house for a meal." Old Xue took out his phone and made a call. He went forward and hugged the yellow piece of chicken oil in his arms. He couldn't bear to let go.
After chatting for about 15 minutes, an extended red flag sedan drove over and stopped in front of Elder Xue.
