Chapter 391 Chicken Blood Stone

In Mr. Dong’s suggestion, Jia Si was given a big problem.

If Jia Sidao could know that Mr. Dong would have such a suggestion in advance, Jia Sidao would never give him such a chance during the negotiations with him. Even now, Jia Sidao still felt a little regretful in his heart. However, he had already said it, and Mr. Dong's suggestion was also very "reasonable". What else can Jia Sidao do? Of course, he could only carve the fifth jade jewelry according to Mr. Dong's suggestion.

After all, Jia Sidao admired Mr. Dong very much. This "reasonable" targeted not to give Jia Si any difficulties, but to target Jia Sidao's carving craftsmanship and the effect after carving.

In Mr. Dong's view, the biggest feature of Jia Sidao's carving skills is that, except for grasping the details, the most effective effect of carving is the change in the form of jade jewelry. And a piece of jade ornament, no matter whether it belongs to a classic style, does not require too careful design when carving. In this way, Jia Sidao's carving skills have been a simple "small knife" until now, which is enough to complete the carving process of a jade jewelry. Even the three models in the "Twelve Zodiacs" are placed in the "green, fat, red and thin" are just this shape.

The entire jade jewelry is very simple, which makes people feel very happy to see, but it is a little irresistible. I want to explore more about the feeling of this jade carving technology.

Of course, all this can only be seen in the eyes of experts like Mr. Dong. Moreover, when Mr. Dong put forward his own opinions, he would not know that the carving master he admired was sitting in front of him at this moment.

"Where should I start to cut the knife and get the material?" Jia Sidao smiled bitterly, and placed jade materials in the room. He didn't know what to do for a moment. "This is to carve a jade pen holder. It's really a tricky task."

That's right, the fifth glass-type imperial green jade jewelry required by Mr. Dong is a jade pen holder. As for how big the material the engraving pen holder needs, this is not something that Mr. Dong can decide just by saying it, but it needs to wait until Jia Sidao finds the right jade material. You must know that this is glass-type imperial green, not ordinary products like those bean-type spinach green jade.

Now Jia Sidao is looking for suitable jade materials.

There is nothing to say about the shape of the pen holder. It is nothing more than a cup that is used to hold a pen. Whether the final collector will use it to hold a pen in the end, and whether it seems too luxurious, no one knows. However, since it is named "pen holder", it naturally needs to have such a function. Therefore, the hollow form is certain.

In addition, Mr. Dong’s requirement is very simple, that is, on the four walls of the pen holder, the more complex the carving, the better. It is best to show a series of engraving techniques such as hollowing and relief. Only in this way can a jade pen holder have a stronger effect.

But all of this is just Mr. Dong’s own hope. The specific implementer, Jia Sidao, was still worried about the jade material at this time. The glass-type imperial green jade material is rare in itself, and naturally there are not too many in Jia Sidao’s inventory. The two and a half pieces cut from the waste material have been thoroughly carved into jade jewelry. Among them are the jade Guanyin jade pendants that "go far to the northeast" and some other small pieces, which are now being placed in the "green, fat, red and thin".

As for the third floor of Jia Sidao, the jade materials on the ground can meet the requirements. After looking at Jia Sidao, it is just the giant glass-type imperial green jadeite rough stone. Could it be that part of it is cut out from it? Jia Sidao quickly gave up this idea and began to continue searching among the uncut rough stones.

Just because there is still nearly a month to delay in time, Jia Sidao is not in a hurry. If there is really no way, in the end, he can only make the idea of ​​moving the giant jadeite rough stone.

Just as Jia Sidao was hesitating whether to cut all the glass-like jadeite rough stones, Li Tiantian's aunt finally had a certain news, which was conveyed through Li Tiantian. The other party was just free a few days after the National Day and was about to meet Jia Sidao.

As for whether Li Tiantian’s “child” expressed her intention to see Jia Sidao as soon as possible and criticize Jia Sidao, that was not something Jia Sidao could take into account, and she could only let her complain for a long time.

In Jia Sidao's words, he is still a "little girl" after all, isn't he?

Jia Sidao responded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. It was also a pleasure to think of Li Tiantian on the other end of the phone. However, the place where he was preparing to meet Li Tiantian's aunt was not in Shanghai, but in Yangzhou. This is probably the reason why Li Tiantian complained too much, and in terms of time, it will take a week later! This made Jia Sidao sigh, are the "talented" people so busy?

Thinking that there was still a week left, Jia Sidao was in Linhai, and the remaining work was nothing more than carving, or just walking around the "green, fat, red and thin". Without the pressure to participate in the provincial jewelry exhibition, Jia Sidao's passion for carving the "twelve zodiac signs" also decreased a lot.

However, when Jia Sidao thought of going to Yangzhou, he was a little excited. Yangzhou is really a good place. It is not only because of the many beauties or the elegance of the Qinhuai land, but because of the carvings in Yangzhou, but also because of the country's carvings. Last time Xu Zhiguo went to Yangzhou, he brought back three jade carving masters. Jia Sidao went there in person this time, so naturally he was not ready to return empty-handed.

The three pieces of broken porcelain were packaged in one go and shipped to Yangzhou. The person who signed the goods naturally filled in Jia Sidao's own name. Jia Sidao went to the unit where he originally rented and talked to Sister Chen.

Since moving out of the original rented place, Jia Sidao has rarely gone back.

So, she specially chose a noon time. Jia Sidao knew that at this time, Sister Chen would cook in the rented house. Then she sent it to the small commodity market and ate with her husband.

Sure enough, just as Jia Sidao knocked on the door, Sister Chen's voice came from inside. When she opened the door, she found that it was Jia Sidao. Sister Chen's face first showed a look of surprise, and then she smiled and gave Jia Sidao in. She asked softly: "Xiao Jia, you have a good life recently? You didn't see you come back to see your sister. By the way, you said you resigned last time. Have you found a better job now?"

Then, it seemed that she noticed that Jia Sidao's clothes were a little different from before, and it was more decent. The smile on Sister Chen's face became even stronger for a moment. This kind of care from the heart seemed to be a faint spring breeze that could be contagious, making Jia Sidao feel that his heart was also warm.

The dishes for lunch are as simple as ever, with two dishes, one soup, and all vegetables. Even when I saw Jia Sidao's arrival, Sister Chen had no intention of hiding it. She directly asked Jia Sidao to sit down and eat together. The only difference is probably that when the second dish was stir-frying, the portion of the dish was increased a little.

Jia Sidao looked at the shredded pork fried green vegetables and mixed with cucumbers, and sighed in his heart. While feeling very friendly, he also admired Sister Chen's virtuousness and thrift. Perhaps, when he was studying, his mother and father at home were so frugal. He didn't care about the lack of sumptuous food, so Jia Sidao started eating it with great pleasure.

Fortunately, although Jia Sidao's life has undergone earth-shaking changes recently, he does not pay too much attention to what he eats. What's more, the food made by Sister Chen himself is very familiar to Jia Sidao, and it has a hint of home-cooked food. However, in Sister Chen's eyes, Jia Sidao's actions have not changed much from that of the little Jia in the past. At least, there is no change when facing her!

"Is there anything wrong with coming here this time?" After dinner, Sister Chen cleaned up briefly and quickly before asking Jia Si, "You don't look like you are in trouble."

"Can't I just come to take a look just because I miss you, Sister Chen?" Jia Sidao was speechless.

"Haha, I'm naturally happy if you have this intention." Sister Chen said with a smile, "But, Xiao Jia, I don't understand your temperament yet? If I miss my sister, I won't have to come and see it for so long. Now I'm here and I'm just here to have lunch. It's not that you don't even have enough money for dinner, but you came here to have a free meal?" The last sentence naturally made me want to joke.

Jia Sidao was happy and followed Sister Chen's words and said, "You really guessed it right. I'm here to have a free meal."

"Haha, then I'm extremely welcome." Sister Chen was also happy, "I'm afraid that someone wouldn't be used to the food I cook."

"How could that happen?" Jia Sidao quickly explained, "Sister Chen, are you from Changhua? I'm going to go there recently. If you have anything to send home, I, a younger brother, can help you transfer it, and you can also meet those two nieces and nephews."

"Really?" Sister Chen was stunned and then said, "What are you doing there? Could it be,"

"Haha, Sister Chen, I haven't told you yet that I recently opened a jade store on Antique Street." Jia Sidao said, "I'm going to Changhua now, so I naturally want to enrich the products in my store and buy some blood stones. You also know that jade and blood stones are both more expensive among stones, and they are not considered to be unemployed, right?"

When Sister Chen heard this, she looked at Jia Sidao's expression and became a little weird. She teased and said, "I really didn't see it. I haven't seen it for a few months. Xiao Jia is actually the boss. When will I have time? I have to go to your store to check it out. You said, are you a jade seller?" Seeing Jia Sidao nodding, Sister Chen asked curiously, "That thing is expensive, right? You have to be careful."

The earnest instructions made Jia Sidao feel that Sister Chen’s concern was a little more than her mother. Finally, Sister Chen asked, “How is the store’s business?”

"It's better." Jia Sidao said, "Jade is not the same as the shoes, clothes, etc. you sell. You need to make profits by quantity, and in terms of jade, the profits of a single product are relatively large."

"That's true." Sister Chen is also from Changhua after all. She doesn't know the tricks of the jade industry, but she still has a certain understanding of bloodstones and the like. "When will you go to Changhua?"

"Just tomorrow. Maybe it's not accurate to pass in the afternoon." Jia Sidao said, "It depends on the situation."

"Well. Then wait a moment." Sister Chen didn't meet Jia Sidao. Since Jia Sidao could come to visit her at this time, she probably wouldn't mind that Sister Chen really asked to send something back to her hometown. She immediately took out a box of things from the room. For details, Jia Sidao didn't ask about anything inside. However, seeing Sister Chen's holding it feels heavy, there should be a lot of things in this small cardboard box used to hold fruits?

"It's just a few autumn clothes and some food to eat." Sister Chen looked at Jia Sidao and explained, "The weather is about to get colder, so I have prepared a few clothes for the two of you. You also know that children always grow fast. A while ago, my mother called me and told me that my kid has grown a lot taller again, and her clothes looked a little smaller last year."

"It's a child." Jia Sidao responded, looking at Sister Chen's joy and longing on her face when she talked about her child, she felt more and more that the greatness of an ordinary mother. She was originally planning to go out this time and just say hello to her, but at this moment, she felt a little reluctant in her heart.

After saying goodbye to Sister Chen, Jia Sidao quickly returned to the store, and sat by his mother at the edge of the cashier, chatting and other things. During this period, Xiaoqian also rolled his eyes. He seemed to have never seen a boss who likes to talk to his mother so much. In that look, he seemed to be still saying: Is the boss just doing nothing all day long?

No wonder everyone likes to be their boss.

The next morning, Jia Sidao made an appointment with A San and drove to Changhua.

Originally, Jia Sidao planned to talk to Uncle Zhou Fugui to see if he could go together. After all, for the bloodstone, Jia Sidao was just a momentary heart-warming. He felt that since he was going to Yangzhou and had a few more days to be idle, so he simply went to the local Changhua area to see. As for whether he could find a good bloodstone or just gain nothing, Jia Sidao had already made preparations in both aspects.

However, when he was about to set off, Jia Sidao always felt that he was unsure. After all, the unknown confusion about a field that he was not familiar with was always a bit faintly visible.

On the night before, Jia Sidao arrived at Zhou Ji's side, and studied all the bloodstones hidden by Uncle Zhou Fugui. He even brought Uncle Zhou Fugui and asked a lot of questions. If Uncle Zhou had something to do and couldn't leave, he would have been moved by Jia Sidao's positive attitude and accompanied Jia Sidao to Changhua.

There is nothing to say all the way! The journey from Linhai to Changhua is not very far, just a few hours' drive.

However, what made Jia Sidao and A San more depressed was that the weather outside the car window along the way seemed a little confused in this early October season, just like the mood of the two people in the car at this moment, which was very depressing and almost made people breathless.

Maybe it was the first time I came here. Jia Sidao also had the task of transferring things to Sister Chen. The first one to arrive was naturally Changhua Town. The place was not big. Although there was a clear address given by Sister Chen, it was still a long time before he found Sister Chen's home. Jia Sidao ignored that he had always had a better relationship with Sister Chen, and it was quite common to have Sister Chen's husband. Therefore, when asking for directions, most of the people said the name of Sister Chen, but in the town or in some rural areas, asking the woman's name is always not easy to remember. Instead, when talking about Sister Chen's husband, he said that he was doing business in Linhai, and many people knew him.

What made Jia Sidao feel a little disappointed was that because it was not the weekend, Sister Chen's son and daughter were not at home, and both of them lived on campus. This made Jia Sidao's wish to hear someone shout "Uncle" completely fail. Leave something for Sister Chen's mother, the old man was very enthusiastic and insisted on keeping Jia Sidao for lunch here.

However, Jia Sidao refused to have something to do and left quickly. He asked an old man in his seventies to cook for him and Ah San, but Jia Sidao couldn't help but feel that face.

I randomly found a restaurant and had a simple lunch in the town. Jia Sidao's face continued to feel depressed.
