Today is New Year's Eve, Lao Mo would like to wish all my brothers and sisters a happy New Year in advance! I wish you all a happy New Year, a happy family, good health, and a successful career!

The Ancient Porcelain Research Institute where Cai Yi works is located in the southwest corner of the Palace Museum, close to research units such as the Palace Opera Research Institute.

Here, there is a large parking lot for the museum’s internal staff to park their vehicles.

In less than ten minutes, the door of Cai Yi's office was violently pushed open, and a middle-aged man with an untidy beard, wearing cotton pajamas and a pair of cotton slippers, rushed in.

"Brother Cai, where are you? Where is the material?" As soon as the man entered the room, he started yelling loudly and rushed towards Cai Yi. If Yang Jing had not been by his side when Cai Yi called him just now, he would have really thought that this man was a terrorist.

But the man didn't pounce on Cai Yi, because halfway through, his attention was attracted by the three pieces of material on the table, one large, one medium and one small. Then, as if possessed, the man stared with his eyes wide open and rushed to Cai Yi's desk like the wind, and once he put his head forward, he couldn't move away anymore.

Cai Yi smiled and said to Yang Jing: "This guy is called Jiang Bin, the Beijing-style jade carving master I just mentioned."

Yang Jing grinned and whispered, "Uncle Cai, are you sure this is a jade carving master? Tsk tsk, this is the first time I see a jade carving master wearing pajamas and cotton thongs. This kind of skilled master really behaves differently..."

Cai Yi chuckled and patted Yang Jing, whispering, "What a mouth you have! I tell you, Jiang Bin is usually very careful about his appearance. He must have been frightened by what I said just now. He ran here without even having time to change his clothes."

After a pause, Cai Yi continued in a low voice: "Jiang Bin's father used to be the son of Mr. Jiang, who was in charge of ancient arts and crafts in our hospital. When Mr. Jiang was alive, he was the leading figure in Beijing-style jade carving in China, and Mr. Jiang himself was also very proficient in ancient jade. However, his youngest son Jiang Bin only inherited Mr. Jiang's talent in jade carving, and was not very outstanding in other aspects. Maybe it was because he was only good at one skill, Jiang Bin's skills in jade carving were better than his master. Even Mr. Jiang said before his death that if his son could develop according to the current situation, he would be able to enter the hall and become a master of jade carving at around fifty. Now it seems that Mr. Jiang's judgment on his son was correct. Jiang Bin's level in jade carving is now just one step away. When he can take this last step, Beijing-style jade carving will once again have a master-level jade carving master after a hundred years."

Yang Jing said in surprise: "So powerful?"

Cai Yi nodded with certainty and said, "That's how amazing it is! If Binzi can take that last step, then he can be on par with the four monsters and one demon of the Beijing School of Jade Carving."

Yang Jing was also shocked. Although he didn't know much about jade carving, he had heard of the name of the "Four Weirdos and One Demon" of Beijing School jade carving. They were all master jade carving masters! Now Cai Yi actually said that this man wearing cotton pajamas and cotton slippers had a chance to be on par with the "Four Weirdos and One Demon". That really proved the old saying - don't judge a person by his appearance!

"Brother Cai, who owns these three pieces of material?" Jiang Bin, who had been concentrating on looking at the three pieces of material just now, suddenly turned around and asked.

Cai Yi walked up with a smile, patted Jiang Bin on the shoulder and said, "Binzi, come here, let me introduce you. This young man is Yang Jing, from Tianqu. The three pieces of material you see are from Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang, this is the Jiang Bin I told you about. His father had a very good relationship with Old Yang back then..."

When Yang Jing heard Cai Yi point out the relationship between Mr. Jiang Bin and Mr. Yang, he immediately called him "Uncle Jiang" respectfully.

Jiang Bin's previous madness was gone. Although his clothes were still speechless, he became more gentle and refined.

"Hello, Xiao Yang, nice to meet you."

Yang Jing's hand was clasped with Jiang Bin's. Yang Jing could clearly feel the strength and rough calluses in Jiang Bin's hand.

"Xiao Yang, can you let me handle these three pieces of material? I promise to make them beautiful for you." Jiang Bin should be a very generous person. Since he knew Yang Jing, he didn't intend to beat around the bush, but directly stated his meaning.

"You know, good materials are getting harder and harder to find nowadays. You can come up with three pieces of top-quality materials at once. For us jade carvers, it's like delicious food to gluttons. We can't stop at all. I have had many good designs in the past two years, but I couldn't realize them because of the lack of good materials. Now, Xiao Yang, your three pieces of materials, especially this big one, give me an extremely strong creative impulse, so Xiao Yang, please let me handle these three pieces of materials!"

Yang Jing glanced at Cai Yi, who smiled and nodded. Yang Jing then said, "Uncle Jiang, don't be anxious. Let's talk slowly, okay?"

Jiang Bin then realized that he seemed to be too anxious. He smiled embarrassedly and sat down on the sofa.

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Jiang, you were called by Uncle Cai. Although I have never seen your craftsmanship, since Uncle Cai can recommend you, he must believe in your craftsmanship. Since Uncle Cai can trust your craftsmanship, then of course I can trust it too. I can give these three pieces of material to you, but I have my requirements. I hope you can consider your design on the premise of meeting my requirements. Do you think it's okay?"
