Reborn 1980: I was so pampered by the rough guy

Chapter 1013 The reason why Master Zhang sealed the sword

Sun Qiangdong drank a large glass of water, then sat down and said, "Brother, isn't Master Zhang alone now? I found out from Master Zhang's son why Master Zhang did not continue to make jade. This aspect of carving skills is related to his deceased wife.”

Lin Qingtang and Gu Zheng looked at each other. After they came to one side and sat down, Gu Zheng said, "Tell me the details!"

Sun Qiangdong responded before continuing.

Master Zhang is also a well-known carver in Oucheng. It is said that the jade he carved back then was highly sought after by many people in the market.

However, it usually takes Master Zhang a week to carve a jade pendant.

At that time, Master Zhang could only get a salary of one yuan after carving a jade pendant.

In everyone's opinion, this is a lot of money.

However, everything changed when Master Zhang's late wife fell ill.

Master Zhang wanted to treat his wife, so he approached his boss and wanted to withdraw part of the money in advance to treat his wife.

However, the boss at that time was a ruthless person. Because his wife was sick, Master Zhang had to take care of his sick wife and young son, so he could not take care of jade.

As a result, the other party deducted Master Zhang's previous salary on the grounds that Master Zhang had delayed the construction period, and even kicked Master Zhang out.

Master Zhang came to see the boss to no avail, and was even beaten.

He returned home injured and his wife became seriously ill.

Master Zhang felt that he was useless, could not make money, and could not treat his wife.

The wife's illness was delayed for too long, so she died.

Master Zhang has always blamed himself for his inability. After his wife passed away, Master Zhang sealed his sword and never carved it again.From then on, even if someone offered more attractive terms, Master Zhang was unwilling to come out again.

In his opinion, what's the use of having great craftsmanship?Even if you can't save your wife's craft, don't give it up!

"How cruel! Master Zhang's craftsmanship is so good, it must have brought high profits to his former boss. But when Master Zhang's wife fell ill, he was able to do such a good job. How disgusting!" Lin Qingtang listened. After that, his face was livid with anger.

It goes without saying that the price of a piece of carved jade is not the same as that of later generations.The price of higher-grade jade is tens of thousands, tens of hundreds, or tens of millions.

However, jade is never cheap.

Even if a jade pendant sells for five hundred yuan, if it can sell for such a price, it must be carved by a craftsman, which can make a piece of jade more valuable.

Not to mention too much, Master Zhang’s take of [-] to [-]% is not too much.

As a result, a pendant only gave him one yuan.

One dollar was indeed a lot in the past few years, and could be equivalent to one hundred dollars in later generations.

But from ancient times to the present, illness has always been the most expensive.

A monthly salary of four yuan, excluding the family's expenses, is enough to save three yuan.

As long as you go to the drugstore once, let alone three yuan, you can't buy much medicine even with three hundred yuan.

From what Sun Qiangdong learned, it can be determined that Mrs. Zhang's illness must have been very difficult at the time, otherwise Master Zhang might not have spoken to his former boss.

"Who says it's not the case? When I heard the news, I felt sorry for Master Zhang! But Master Zhang closed his sword because of his late wife's illness and death. We want to invite Master Zhang to come out, unless we let Master Zhang come out. ,if not……"
