Chapter 918 New Studio

Master Ma was released, and the engraving factory also held a meeting. He deeply criticized his young apprentice and warned everyone in the engraving factory not to repeat the same mistakes and waste their skills.

Master Ma was also suspended for a month for self-reflection because of his lax discipline on his disciples. This was already a very light punishment for him.

It was a good thing that Master Ma was able to escape, but he was worried about the whereabouts of the jade stones, and even more worried that there would no longer be a place in the city that could be used as a studio, leaving him to just do meaningless carvings here every day. This incident made his life worse than death.

It was already a week later when Master Ma saw Bai Meixi again. He took out more than 80 yuan from his pocket, which was all the wealth he had scraped together.

"Comrade Xiaobai, I know those jade stones are very valuable, but I can only get so much in my hands. You take it first, and I will give it to you later when I get the money."

Master Ma felt very guilty. He looked at Bai Meixi brilliantly, hesitating at his feet.Now that he has no income, he has trouble eating. In order to raise the money, he has even sold the quilts at home.

"Master Ma, I hid the jade material that day, and it's still there now."

Bai Meixi quickly told Master Ma that she had not lost anything. All the jade materials were well hidden. She just lost some scraps and it was no big deal.

"Is it true! As long as it's okay, it's okay." Master Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Jade was okay. He collected the money and took out a pendant from his pocket.

"Comrade Xiaobai, I'm really sorry. I may not be able to help you finish the remaining stones. This is something passed down from my family. I leave it to you as a souvenir. I am still a key surveillance target. I don't know. This will be taken away one day."

Master Ma's face was filled with regret. He felt that since Bai Meixi could obtain so many jade materials, there must be a place to preserve them. Giving her family's ancestral items also gave these famous utensils a good place to go.

"Master Ma, actually I have a good place where you can continue to do jade carving without being discovered." Bai Meixi took the exquisite jade piece in her hand and touched it with her fingers for a while before making up her mind. .

She wants to leave more good things to the world, and Master Ma's good craftsmanship cannot be wasted.

"Really? That's great. I thought my skills would be useless in this life!" Master Ma was very excited when he heard that Bai Meixi had found another good place. He wished he could go there and have a look today.

"That place is not very convenient. If you want to go there, you have to go back and forth blindfolded, and you can't walk out of the door easily."

Bai Meixi could not let Master Ma know the existence of space, so she could only use blindfolding to deceive him.

"No problem, let alone blindfolded, it doesn't matter even if it's tied up. And I don't have to go to work for a month, so I can carve as much as I want."

Master Ma immediately agreed. He felt that the employer's suspension of him was just the right time, but it gave him a period of stable creation, and he might even be able to carve a stunning work.

Bai Meixi blindfolded Master Ma and took him back to space. This is Master Liu's newly built warehouse. It has a book shelf, a bathroom, and a large bed for temporary residence.

Moreover, the area around this warehouse is very empty, with grasslands everywhere, and you can only see some crop fields in the distance. Even if Master Ma goes out, he won't see anything.

"Comrade Xiaobai, where did you find such a good place? There are all good things on this shelf. I haven't seen such good things in many years. It must have taken a long time to collect them." Master Ma's eyes stayed on those shelves. There were not only jade stones, but also many ancient relics and ancient books collected by Bai Meixi.

Master Ma also studied other antiques, especially some folk antiquities, which were his favorite. His hands passed over the embroidered fans and emerald headdresses, and then came to the carved lacquerware.

Each of these things is a treasure to him, and the few pieces of fine jade are glowing softly on the workbench, always attracting Master Ma's footsteps.

He had thought that Bai Meixi was not an ordinary person before, but now it seemed that she was more powerful than he imagined.

"Master Ma, you will live here this month. Food will be delivered to you. After the work is completed, I will give you 100 yuan for each piece of jade. But you must remember that even if you see something, don't follow it after you go out. If others mention it, there will be big trouble."

It took Bai Meixi a week to integrate the place into a studio. She had already told Aunt Liu that she would cook all the meals and not to mention other things to Master Ma.

If Master Ma accidentally saw the situation outside, she would have no choice but to find a way to make him lose his memory.

"No problem, I will definitely do a good job. This place is really great. Even if I am asked to work here for the rest of my life, I am willing to do it."

Master Ma looked at the spacious studio and the brand-new tools on the table. Although they were not as good as his ancestral carving tools, they were already the best configuration.

He stroked the jade material in front of him and immediately threw himself into his work, completely ignoring that Bai Meixi was still standing next to him.

There were a lot of things piled on the table. In addition to the few pieces of fine jade, there were also a lot of fine stones that Bai Meixi had recovered before.

"Comrade Xiaobai, did you also take back these stones?"

When Bai Meixi was about to leave, Master Ma suddenly called her. He picked up a translucent stone on the workbench with a more interested look in his eyes.

"It was recovered. I heard that it was picked up by the river. Master Ma, can you also tell the quality of the rough stone?"

Bai Meixi originally thought that Master Ma was only good at carving, but she didn't expect that he also researched unsolved jade materials, which was a big help to her.

"Of course you can tell something. Our family has been dealing with jade materials for several lifetimes, and you can tell a rough idea just by touching the leather. Comrade Xiaobai, this piece of jade you have is the best Hetian jade seed material. The stuff inside should be very good, this kind of material is rare in Urhai."

Master Ma nodded with certainty. He felt that Bai Meixi had a good vision. The stones placed on the table were all valuable, and at least two of them could produce jade.

"Hetian seed material, is it true?" Bai Meixi knew that the seed material was the best type of Hotan jade, and maybe she could even produce a piece of mutton-fat jade.

She leaned over and took the translucent stone into her hands, intending to take it to HT City to have the stone broken. Unexpectedly, Master Ma's craftsmanship was even better than she imagined, and he could actually break the stone using ancient methods.
