Chapter 535: gambling stone
Chapter 535 Stone Gamble
The boss is going to polish the stone into a fine jade bracelet, holding the heart of the bracelet in the middle and asking Zeng Sanshui, "Guest officer, what do you want to carve the heart of this bracelet, do you know?"
Zeng Sanshui shook his head, "What do you think looks good in carving?"
The boss smiled and said, "Male wearing Guanyin and female wearing Buddha, the guest officer has no idea, you can choose between these two."
Zeng Sanshui wanted his old lady to believe in Buddhism, "Then you carve me into a Buddha, you must carve carefully, it looks good!"
The boss smiled and said, "An additional processing fee of 10 taels of silver will be charged for carving. If there is a specific Buddha statue style, a technician will be appointed, and the price will be negotiated."
These are all normal charges, Lan Jingbai said nothing, waiting for Zeng Sanshui to make up his own mind.
Zeng Sanshui thought for a while, "Which technicians and which Buddha statues are there for this general to choose?"
The boss responded very quickly. From the cabinet next to him, he took out a thick stack of Buddha statues. In addition, there was a self-introduction of each technique and qualifications.
is quite detailed.
As Zeng Sanshui was about to choose, he remembered an important thing, "I'm leaving tomorrow, when can I get this thing?"
The boss said with a smile: "The Buddha statue is devoutly carved, there is no rush, at least, it will take more than ten days."
"If the guest is in a hurry, I have a lot of stock in stock here, you can take a look."
It was impossible for Zeng Sanshui to stay here for several days, and he thought of shopping in front of him, so he said: "Don't look at it, you can arrange for me the best technician to carve this big Buddha. When I return to Ling Kingdom, I will come and pick it up. "
The boss smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely keep it for the guest officer."
Zeng Sanshui was very satisfied with the service attitude of the boss, and Lan Jingbai Qu Yuanxian next to him drank tea.
Before leaving, Zeng Sanshui glanced at the stone with a ring cut off, and asked Qu Yuanxian, "Master Qu, why don't you choose?"
This stone is really good for planting water, bright and shiny, and has a great texture.
Buy a few, and you can make a lot of money when you take them back.
It’s not that Qu Yuanxian doesn’t want to buy it. Their family’s wealth cannot be compared with Zeng Sanshui.
Also, dozens of taels don’t seem like much, but as Lu Ye mentioned earlier, if you go back more than 1,000 taels, you will have to pay export tax.
Qu Yuan offered bits and pieces, and also bought a lot of things.
I just accidentally asked about the tax rate of jade, which is even more expensive than the original price of jade.
Although it is still a lot cheaper than Ling Guo's, Qu Yuanxian wants to go shopping first, shop around, and then buy.
He smiled and said to Zeng Sanshui, "I'll take a look first."
Zeng Sanshui thinks about it too. This is the first one. It is normal for Qu Yuanxian to continue to look at it.
They continued to stroll forward, and when they reached the second one, they saw the most beautiful purple jade, with a dreamlike color, like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
Qu Yuanxian's eyes were instantly fixed. This kind of fresh material is very suitable for granddaughter Qu Nian'er.
Qu Yuan offered to ask the price, "How much material do you need to make a set of head noodles?"
The shopkeeper drew five rings for them at once. The cloth colors are similar, the water for planting is clear, and there is no cotton inside. It is the best in this piece of stone.
Qu Yuanxian looked around, and the store owner was beside him to light up with a flashlight.
The crystal clear texture is even more beautiful.
Qu Yuanxian was very satisfied, so he asked the boss, "How much money do these five circles earn?"
The boss pointed to the small words at the top of the circle, "The price is here."
Qu Yuanxian fixed his eyes and saw that a circle would cost 100 taels, while Zishui next to it didn't have enough material, at least 80 taels.
Qu Yuanxian looked at Lan Jingbai, expecting him to bargain.
Lan Jingbai received his signal and stepped forward, "Twelve taels per circle."
The boss suddenly looked distressed, "How can it be ten taels? Twelve taels are not enough to buy a rough stone outside."
Lan Jingbai said lightly, "I know what I'm an expert in, and if you want to sell it, sell it."
The boss was caught by Lan Jingbaihu, gritted his teeth, earning more and earning less is meat, "Okay, then I'll give it to you!"
Zeng Sanshui's eyes widened, and he was shocked at such a cheap price.
Twelve taels with a ring, and a bracelet heart inside.
Such a good material is worth at least several hundred taels in Ling Country.
His prodigal concubines, how much money can be saved if they spend all their money here!
Zeng Sanshui was so arrogant that he didn't even pay back the price. He said to the boss, "Give this General the rest of the stone!"
He thought it was too cheap.
The boss was overjoyed, "Okay, guest!"
Qu Yuanxian frowned slightly, "Does General Zeng stop looking at others?"
On this side of the stone, at least a dozen circles can be drawn.
This is too much.
Zeng Sanshui turned back and decided to pay more taxes.
Zeng Sanshui didn't hear Qu Yuanxian's implication, he laughed, "It's okay, there are many women in Laozi's family."
Since there are many women in the family, Qu Yuanxian will not say much.
Anyway, even if you pay the tax, it is still cheaper in Xiaoyao Country.
What's more, this piece of material is still very good overall, 10 taels of silver, it's okay without bargaining.
After coming out of this store, Zeng Sanshui asked Lan Jingbai, "Do you really understand the market here?"
Lan Jingbai shook his head, "I heard from a connoisseur that the best circle on the market, if you buy it in Heilongshan, can't exceed one hundred taels at most."
Zeng Sanshui's eyes lit up immediately, "Then I just bought the green jade material, is it still far behind?"
Lan Jingbai said: "The price of jade is almost sky-high, and yours is not too bad."
Zeng Sanshui was very happy, thinking about getting himself a few more sets of pure imperial green, and going back to show off to those old guys.
They continued to shop around, and all kinds of finished jade materials were in full bloom. Whether it was ornaments, jade pendants, or jewelry, they were all first-class and exquisite.
Although Zeng Sanshui is a big old man, he also experienced the pleasure of old ladies who love shopping here.
After turning around, Zeng Sanshui bought some blue water, white water and red water materials, as well as jade ornaments carved by the masters of the two studios. They are especially exquisite and remarkable. He also spent a lot of money to buy two masterpieces. .
Qu Yuanxian is not as rich as he is, he only buys it for his family, and one person buys it within the budget. The total cost is less than 200 taels.
Zeng Sanshui spent nearly 20,000 taels.
Fortunately, Lu Ye guaranteed him and gave him some money on credit, otherwise, he would not be able to spend it if he wanted to.
Pure emperor-level green jade, every time it is mined, everyone is rushing to buy it back for collection.
Zeng Sanshui wants to buy now, so he can only go to the stone yard to see his luck.
Zeng Sanshui had long thought of becoming addicted to gambling. Xiaobing bought the white jade from the rough stone for five taels of silver. After seeing so many jadeites, he felt a little disgusted, so he wanted to fly into the sky and buy a piece of jade. The stone material, the emerald of the emperor green is obtained.
As soon as they arrived at the stone factory, they saw many stone dealers and tourists who came here to open the stone.
Bai Shining's family of three is also here, and they also spent a lot of money to buy a piece of raw materials that weighed 1,000 kilograms.
