Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 159 Suet Jade Bracelet

Qin Luo's open letter still received a lot of repercussions.

Although it was not exposed to public opinion or reported by the media, it really caused an uproar in the circle of jade carvers.

This is Zigang Cup!

And it's a gold medal.

Even if he said no, he would not.

Originally, the fame generated because of the imperial concubine's laughter became more and more prosperous after experiencing this incident.

As for whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, it depends on each person's values.

Everyone in Ye Jun was going crazy.

He came to the hotel in person and found Qin Luo.

With an indescribable feeling.

Moved, grateful, shocked, speechless, and even slightly terrified.

It's hard to imagine that in this world, in today's world, there are people like Qin Luo.

It's just outrageous fucking open the door to outrageous, outrageous home.

but……

The fear is that this matter, for himself, is not entirely a good thing.

Even if he wins the gold medal because of this, it will attract dissatisfaction from some bigwigs in the circle.

Of course, Ye Jun still knew in his heart that no matter whether the result was good or bad, he had to accept it completely. If he had any opinion on Qin Luo because of this, he would really be inhuman.

People must distinguish between good and evil.

It can be as humble as an ant, but not twisted like a maggot.

"Mr. Qin, how can I thank you?"

Sitting opposite Qin Luo, Ye Jun sighed and said, there was a kind of moist light in his eyes.

Qin Luo looked at him nonchalantly.

"Just don't hold grudges against me, what are you talking about thanking?"

"Being a person and doing things depends on the heart. I think I should do this, so I did it, that's all."

Qin Luo's voice revealed a kind of calmness.

I really don't care that much about the evaluation of an official organization like the "Zigang Cup Judging Committee".

Before participating in the competition, it is inevitable that there will still be some fame.

I feel that this kind of competition will be a good opportunity to increase my popularity, and it will be a great thing for my own development.

Objectively speaking, it is true.

However, now, it doesn't mean that there is no fame and heart, but the order of the two words fame and fortune in my mind is not at the top.

They also come after a lot of things.

For example, liking, happiness, following one's will, justice, conscience...etc.

Qin Luo has already keenly distinguished the difference between fame and fortune and these things.

Fame and fortune are gone this time, but they will be there again next time.

But some things, once gone, can never be found again.

A corner is missing today, and a crack will be cracked tomorrow, until it becomes a mess and the building completely collapses.

Listening to Qin Luo's words, Ye Jun pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

He was speechless.

But feel comfortable from the heart.

"Are we friends?"

He suddenly asked softly, a little unable to bear it.

Who would refuse to be friends with someone like Qin Luo?
Qin Luo glanced at him.

He hesitated.

"No loan."

Ye Jun: ...

Immediately, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

This kind of humorous answer actually reveals a meaning in itself, that is, in Qin Luo's mind, he doesn't actually regard himself as a friend.

Just someone I just met.

However, even so, he is still willing to stand up and speak out.

This kind of behavior somewhat reveals a sense of heroism.

It seems out of tune with the current world.

He pondered for a moment.

Ye Jun said softly: "I am now an independent jade carver. Independent means that I am the only one, without a teacher, and without many contacts..."

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Luo's face...

Qin Luo looked at him nonchalantly.

"Me too."

"Then do you have any plans to become bigger and stronger?"

Seeing that Qin Luo didn't answer, Ye Jun spoke more bluntly.

If there is, in fact, I... can join.

These words are a bit suspicious of clinging, and he is too embarrassed to say them, but he really has such thoughts.

"How big is big?"

"How strong is strong?"

Qin Luo asked with a smile.

Uh.

Facing this question, Ye Jun felt speechless for a moment.

This triggered some deep thinking.

"You can't really be a god with a pure heart and few desires, can you?"

"The wine is good but the alley is deep."

He said in a whisper.

This kind of realm is beyond my reach, but the discipline of society is another style.

Become famous, get rich, become bigger and stronger.

Qin Luo smiled slightly and said, "The wine is still not good enough."

"Or, the alley itself has the smell of other pollution."

"Just do your own thing."

"Okay, I have something else to talk about."

Qin Luo sees off the guests.

It doesn't mean anything else, but I just feel that talking about this matter doesn't mean much.

……

this afternoon.

Several people in the fan group rushed to Hanshan Temple to have a look.

In fact, this is Qin Luo's suggestion before.

Local fans have both a fan mentality and a host's demeanor, so they are arranged.

This is the place he wanted to go, so Qin Luo went there calmly.

With Miss Tea.

There is also the little apprentice Yang Zi.

"Master, my dad said you are so handsome."

On the way there, Yang Zi sat in the co-pilot of the car and said with some joy.

She was referring to this open letter.

Qin Luo was in the back row, and said with a smile: "Shh, don't brag, it's a routine operation."

Yang Zi turned around and continued: "This is not a routine operation, this is a high-end operation, anyway, I am numb."

"I would like to call it the incomparable national scholar."

"My father said that skills are also important, but art comes first."

Qin Luo laughed.

It's hard to imagine that this is what a capitalist, the boss of a big company, said to his daughter.

However, it is not bad to have such an education.

"Actually, I'm not very good at being a human being. Things like this actually offended many people."

"For example, the organizer gave me face, even invited my work, and gave me a gold medal. However, I let my temper and swept the organizer's face, just for my own principles."

"You still need to carefully consider and grasp the subtleties. What is being a man? Is it a man? Or be yourself?"

"And, what price are you willing to pay for this?"

Since she called herself master, Qin Luo felt that it was necessary for him to instill something more in her.

It can be regarded as a good teacher.

Yang Zi is not the kind of silly, sweet kid from a wealthy family.

She is precocious.

Similarly, Qin Luo didn't want to mislead her children, and really educated her to be the kind of person who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.

I am not.

In the final analysis, there are still two words, to be...transparent.

But not pedantic.

Yang Zi was thoughtful, her big eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

……

The fan investor who organized this trip to Hanshan Temple was named Li Minghao. He was the owner of a local antique store. He was young, only in his thirties.

Being able to do this line of work is naturally a family background.

In all fairness, the threshold for antiques is quite high.

Not only the capital threshold, but also the experience threshold.

After all, any one item would cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

This industry once had a period of barbaric growth. In fact, in Qin Luo's view, it is still in a period of barbaric growth, and what it eats is "information asymmetry".

Of course, it is inevitable that there will be some other "income" channels.

Just keep it secret.

I once talked about this topic with Du Chongyang, and what Lao Du said was that at least half of the items in the current antique market are for money laundering.

Especially those treasures that many people think are worthless, but they are fired for sky-high prices.

However, where there is a demand, there is a market.

This is also unavoidable.

"Brother Luo, haha, you are so fierce, how are you? Are you all right?"

After meeting, Li Minghao asked with enthusiasm and concern.

There were a total of ten people present, including men and women. The men were all a little older, and the girls were relatively young. This kind of play combination still showed a certain amount of scheming.

It seems that Li Minghao should also be a veteran in organizing activities.

How did he do it?
On the first day, when registering online, let everyone gather in a public place like Zigang Pavilion.

After the collective visit, there is no next game.

We didn't have dinner together in the evening.

However, after the visit, they should have checked their seats. This old man organized a second small-scale event.

It's now.

In the past, Qin Luo would not have realized such details.

However, now, after more than a year of craftsmanship, I seem to have a feeling of meticulous care, and these details can be known at a glance.

Qin Luo smiled and shook hands with him.

"It's okay, haha, don't talk about this, let's go."

So everyone talked and laughed, and headed towards the "scenic spot".

The current Hanshan Temple has naturally been repaired twice.

The entrance is a bright yellow wall with the words Hanshan Temple on it, which is already a well-known check-in point for Internet celebrities.

I took a group photo here, and then walked in.

Qin Luo's main goal is the literati calligraphy stele gallery.

It is famous for the poem "Fengqiao Night Mooring". Throughout the dynasties, there have been many famous calligraphers who left their calligraphy here.

When he arrived at the stele corridor, he was fascinated by it.

Others feel that it is really meaningless, and they can't see any subtleties, but they are uneducated.

Everyone, including Sister Cha, felt that once Qin Luo indulged in it, it would be very boring to the people around him.

So I suggested to look elsewhere.

In addition to the stele corridor, there are still many places to play and more down-to-earth activities.

Such as copying scriptures for free, burning incense and praying for blessings, and seeking marriage.

Sister Cha has done a strategy before, and it is said that the marriage in Hanshan Temple is famous in the whole city and very spiritual.

She is not completely superstitious about these things.

However, there will still be a sense of participation that is eager to try.

who?

Naturally, he and Qin Luo counted.

All the troops went to play other things, only Qin Luo and a few people were left on the stele corridor.

Yang Zi is not interested in scenic spots.

But these words, she likes them very much.

The beautiful lines, across the long river of history, are presented in front of you.

She watched Qin Luo swipe with her hands, so she didn't bother, she watched silently, appreciating many details with her heart, and nurturing them subtly.

I don't know how long I watched...

Qin Luo suddenly came back to his senses, and it came to an end for now.

It was in the afternoon, the sun was not so poisonous, and the mottled light, through the gaps between the branches and leaves, sprinkled a series of irregular light spots on the open space.

Yang Zi is sitting beside a stone bench, drawing a sketch.

Very focused.

Even Qin Luo came over and didn't notice.

However, when he looked up and saw the shadow in front of him, he screamed in surprise and quickly closed his album.

however……

Qin Luo still saw it.

She is painting herself.

Shaking his head and smiling, Qin Luo didn't say much: "Let's go, go over there. Go see what they are doing?"

Yang Zi grunted, and stood up with a slightly red face.

She hasn't finished the painting yet, and she's a bit out of sorts, but her artistic conception has also been disrupted, and she can't immerse herself in it.

"Luo Ge..."

The two of them didn't take a few steps, a girl in a T-shirt and shorts came towards Qin Luo and said with a smile, her ponytail was flicked, looking youthful and beautiful.

She doesn't look very old, doesn't have any makeup on, and looks a bit like a student.

Qin Luo remembered that she was one of the people in the crowd just now, but he didn't know the name, so he smiled politely.

"what's wrong?"

"Why don't you go with them?"

The girl grinned, revealing two small canine teeth: "I have something to do with you? I want to ask you for a favor. There were too many people just now, so it's not convenient to talk about it. Now I finally got the chance, can't I? Can I go whoring for nothing? ?Ha ha……"

She seemed to be in a good mood and had a big smile on her face.

Qin Luo glanced at her and nodded indifferently: "Tell me first, what's the matter."

This requires...

Still kind of weird.

However, as long as it is not borrowing money, everything else is easy to talk about.

If you borrow money, you will definitely refuse.

Hearing Qin Luo's nod, the girl immediately took out something wrapped in a cloth bag from her bag, and opened it carefully.

"My family has an ancestral jade bracelet, I want you to help me look at it."

"This is my grandma's grandma's grandma. It has been handed down. It is estimated to be 200 years old. Anyway, my old man said so. However, if it is true, I still want to ask."

"Help me, the appraisal fee is too expensive, I can't afford it."

"The auctions on the Internet feel like a lot of routines. I don't dare to go for fear of being cheated."

"I can only trust you, Brother Luo."

she said with a smile.

Qin Luo's eyes moved slightly, and he saw that this jade bracelet was pure white, shiny, almost without yellowing, it was the color of suet jade, and, visible to the naked eye, the patina was very beautiful, obviously it was worn by people for a long time and repeatedly. playing around.

Few blemishes.

Really, super beautiful.

"Wow……"

"so beautiful……"

Yang Zi was born in Yu's family, so he naturally has vision. After seeing this thing, he couldn't help but said.

Qin Luo signaled to put the cloth bag and bracelet on the stone table next to her, and after she put them down, he reached out to pick them up.

View in detail.

"It's true."

"It has a powdery mist feel and shows through. The structure is fine and almost no structure. I haven't tested it in water yet, but you should try it yourself. It doesn't stick to water."

These four characteristics are the most typical characteristics for identifying mutton fat jade.

The girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Well, I tried it, so it's true?"

"How much is that worth?"

Qin Luo was silent for a few seconds.

Smile.

"The minimum is two hundred, the maximum is five hundred. Look at the channel. Ten thousand."

"Wow!"

"Really!"

"Great!"

The girl immediately screamed excitedly, her face flushed with excitement.

"Okay, keep it safe, I suggest you take a taxi home now, so as not to bump into it. This kind of heirloom, hey, if you want me, you will definitely not be willing to sell it."

Qin Luo smiled lightly, put the bracelet back into the cloth bag, put it on the table, then turned and left.
