Chapter 177 Half a bucket of water

In addition to the gray stones in this basement, there is actually a small river inside. There is a water wheel by the river. When someone steps on the water wheel, an iron knife on a large machine by the river will spin rapidly.

Someone lifted a big stone under the iron knife, and the iron knife cut the stone quickly, and the stone chips flew around in no time.

An Xiu'er looked at it with admiration in her heart, "I didn't expect this kind of tool to exist. In the past, I only knew that the water wheel was used for driving water, but I didn't expect it to have such a purpose."

"This machine is specially used for cutting stones, because it is very slow if you use manual labor, and it will be much faster if you use a machine specially designed for cutting stones." The steward at the side explained.

"That's true." An Xiu'er nodded, took a look from a distance, and followed the steward to the other side.

The dust by the river was too heavy, although An Xiu'er wanted to go and have a look, but she didn't want to eat the dust, so she could only go to other places with the shopkeeper.

"The few over there are some Kanshi masters in our family." The manager pointed to the old man who was busy among the pile of stones.

An Xiu'er nodded to them, as a greeting, these Kanshi masters are very individual, they just nodded towards An Xiu'er, but looked down at these stones.

"Ma'am, don't be angry, these people have such a temper." The manager said to An Xiu'er.

"It doesn't matter. It's normal for a capable person to have a temper no matter how big they are. There's a saying called being arrogant. I'm not afraid of their arrogance, but what I'm most afraid of is the kind of person who has no strength but is self-righteous." An Xiu'er said lightly : "There is a saying in our hometown, the more half a bucket of water, the more rippling."

The steward laughed dryly, but did not speak. Although he was a steward, he was in charge of them in name, but in fact, he dared not offend these Kanshi masters.

"What's the matter? What are you laughing at? There are people like this in this world. Those who are truly genuine are always humble." An Xiu'er still said to herself, ignoring the winks from the steward beside her. .

"Hmph!" An Xiu'er didn't turn her head to look until she heard a heavy cold snort beside her ear, and what she saw was an angry old man. She raised her head and asked him with her eyes: "What's the matter with you?"

"What do you know, little girl, to speak rudely here?" The old man looked at An Xiu'er and said.

The steward quickly explained to the old man: "Old Xu, this is the eldest lady of our Zhang family."

"A woman, if she doesn't take good care of her husband and children at home, what is she doing here?" Old Xu snorted coldly.

An Xiu'er felt that the old man was really rude, she was the wife of the Zhang family after all, so why did he talk to him in such a tone?Not to mention anything else, this is the territory of the Zhang family, she can come here whenever she wants, why does the old man say that about her?
"Old Xu, Ma'am is also here to see the stone." The manager said to the old man.

"She also came to see the rocks? A woman, just stay at home and take care of the children. What rocks are you looking at?"

Old Xu's tone was still very bad.

"Because your level is really terrible." An Xiu'er said mercilessly.

"What did you say?" Now Mr. Xu was really angry, "You are a woman, why do you say that, even if you are the wife of the Zhang family, we can't allow you to insult us so casually, you You must give us a reason, otherwise, we would rather not stay in the Zhang family anymore, as our master Kanshi, some people are rushing to ask for it."

"Really?" An Xiu'er snorted coldly, and said, "If you want me to tell you, people like you are actually half a bucket of water, and your heart is full of dissatisfaction and rippling."

"Hehe." Old Xu laughed instead of anger, but those who knew him well knew that this was a sign that he was extremely angry.

"Mr. Xu, don't be angry. It's the first time Ma'am has come here, so I don't know your identity." Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight, the steward at the side tried to persuade him. After talking to Mr. Xu, he turned his head to look at you. Looking at An Xiu'er, he said: "Ma'am, this Mr. Xu is one of the most powerful rock masters among our stone masters. He selected more than half of all the jadeites in our Zhang family in the past few years."

"Well, this is considered powerful? If he is really powerful, why would Fang Xiyu go to another place because Zhang's family doesn't have good jade?" An Xiuer asked back.

"Oh, I came here to inquire about crimes." Elder Xu turned his head and said, "The top-quality gemstones are hard to come by but hard to find. Madam doesn't understand, so don't talk nonsense."

An Xiu'er didn't even look at Mr. Xu, she just said indifferently: "That's right, everyone said that, so why can others find it?"

"For a person without strength, you will miss the gems even if they are in front of you. How can you blame that there are no top-quality gems in this world?" An Xiu'er smiled and continued to walk forward.

Old Xu's face turned red, and he said: "Although you are the wife of the Zhang family, it's true, but you are a woman, why do you say that about me? No matter how weak I am, then I am also the chief stone master of the Zhang family , if I can't find it, then no one will be able to find it in this house."

"You are still the Zhang Family's Chief Stone Kanshi, but you won't be soon." An Xiu'er said.

"You brought someone here?" General Xu looked behind An Xiu'er, but he didn't see anyone else.

Because in addition to the original stones, there are also some jewels that have just been cut out in this rough stone library. Many craftsmen are taking these gems out of bracelets and pendants, and the remaining fragments are used to inlay various jewelry. .

Of course, sometimes the master sculptors will be concerned about how to make more money, and they will do whatever they want. They must use this gem to create greater benefits.

"Where is the person you brought?" Elder Xu asked again as he didn't see anyone.

"That person is me." An Xiu'er said casually.

In fact, she is very dissatisfied with the so-called Elder Xu, not to mention his strength, if the chief master of this family is of his character, it is no wonder that the Zhang family cannot get the best gems .

"You? Will you be worthy of a stone?" Elder Xu looked An Xiu'er up and down, showing her great disdain.

"I can't." An Xiu'er didn't feel that there was any shame in this matter, she said: "But I can learn, I learn for a few days, and then I will be able to surpass you."

"Ma'am, do you really dare to think that you want to surpass me after just a few days of study?" Mr. Xu didn't take what she said when he heard what An Xiu'er said, and said, "I just want you to study for a year. Don't say you surpass us, you can't surpass any Kanshishi here."

"Really." An Xiu'er didn't argue with her either, she knew it was useless to argue, and she was bound to defeat them with actions.

The two parted ways. Mr. Xu looked down on An Xiu'er, but after knowing her big words, he felt that she had no threat at all. A rich wife like her must have come here to have fun when she was idle. Is stone fun?
His skills are limited, so he doesn't need to deal with such a person at all.

And An Xiu'er thought the same thing, in her opinion, this old man Xu is too arrogant, and she also hates this kind of arrogant person, so she ignored him and just walked straight to the pile of rough stones before.

"Do you want to see these rough stones, lady?" said the manager.

"En." An Xiuer nodded, and the steward asked someone to move a soft chair, and then asked someone to bring a small table, put melons, fruits and refreshments on it, and then asked someone to roll the stone in front of An Xiuer , let her see.

Mr. Xu didn't like An Xiu'er at all, but he was afraid that she was really good, so he asked other Kanshi masters to observe her secretly. As a result, the Kanshi master came back and said to him, this Xu The old man laughed loudly, and said: "The old man only knows that such an embroidery frame like hers, how could she be able to be a stone-bearer? Just because of her attitude, she is not a good stone-bearer."

"However, she is a pregnant woman, and she is also the wife in charge of the Zhang family. It is impossible for her to crawl among the stone piles like us." The stone master said.

"You said she was pregnant? Why didn't I see it just now, I just thought she was quite eloquent." Xu Lao said, "A pregnant woman should not come to this kind of place, even if she wants to monitor us, she must Send a man, is there no man in the Zhang family?"

"Now the Zhang family is left with the playboy Second Master. I heard that something happened in an accident." Kan Shishi said in a low voice.

"Heh..." Mr. Xu snorted coldly, and said: "The good family property has become like this in the hands of these descendants. If I hadn't received the favor of the old family back then, I would have left long ago."

"Hey, what's the use of talking about it now? I heard that Fang Xiyu joined the Ye family because of the top-quality gems, and it's also because of this, that's why this little lady is so anxious." This stone master is quite reasonable. .

"Hmph, what's the use of her being anxious? Do you think it's fun to look for stones? If I can find the best rough stones so easily, why don't I want to?" Xu Lao sneered, and said: "If there are enough In terms of money, buy all the rough stones from Myanmar, there must be top-quality gems."

"Hey, Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? Now the Zhang family is not as good as before, and the money that can be used is not as much as before, so we have to work harder. If there is no big gain this time, the Zhang family There might be trouble."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'm going to practice my eyesight too, it would be great if I have a pair of clairvoyant eyes." Xu Lao sighed, and walked towards the original stone storehouse, but avoided An Xiu'er, because he saw Seeing her sitting on the soft chair looking at the original stone, she just couldn't beat her.
