The old man was about sixty years old, with a shaved head and a tuft of gray beard. In the late autumn of Guangzhou, he was wearing a short jacket, his trouser legs rolled up to his knees, and a pair of mud-stained slippers. He held a fishing rod in one hand and a fish basket in the other. Perhaps because he went fishing frequently, his skin was tanned and he looked healthier.

Li Yang looked at the old man and almost blurted out "Mr. Tao".

She held back.

At this time, she didn't know Mr. Tao yet.

Mr. Tao's real name is Tao Lizhi. He works in the largest jade carving factory in Guangzhou. His exquisite craftsmanship and unique vision have made him well-known in the Guangzhou jade circle. People respectfully call him "Mr. Tao".

In his previous life, Li Yang met him by chance when his jade carving factory was acquired by a jewelry factory. The little knowledge he had about jade also came from him.

She didn’t understand it in her previous life, but now it seems that Mr. Tao is simply an idol that she wants to worship (fawn on)!

It doesn’t matter if the two don’t know each other now, they will know each other later.

When Mr. Tao raised his eyes, he saw a little girl looking at him without blinking, with a smile on her face, as if she was a piece of delicious braised pork, which surprised her greatly.

Tao Lao swallowed uncomfortably, believing that he hadn't been fooling around when he was young, and had given birth to such a remarkable daughter. He turned to look at Tao Qian: "Didn't you ask me to come back to see the jade? Has she arrived yet?"

Tao Qian pointed at Li Yang with a smile, "Isn't this the little girl I was talking about? Her name is...her name is..." He scratched his head, "Hey, little girl, what's your name?"

Li Yang said loudly: "My name is Li Yang."

After saying that, he continued to look at Mr. Tao with sparkling eyes: "Hello, old man, I am Li Yang, I am looking for you."

Tao Lao tried hard to ignore the strange feeling Li Yang gave her and coughed lightly: "Then let's open the window and take a look."

Most people think of jadeite rough windowing as a small cut in the rough stone, through which the jadeite can be seen. While this may sound obvious, those in the know know that windowing is not a simple task. It usually requires opening the jadeite in the best part of the rough stone, which often fetches a good price.

Jadeite rough jadeite windows can be categorized into several types, including flat windows, old Burmese windows, and rogue windows. Flat windows are typically created by cutting or scraping a small window into a specific area of ​​the rough jadeite, allowing for observation of the jade's quality and water content. Old Burmese windows are commonly found in rough jadeite cut from old Burmese sources. These artificially cut windows have delicate textures to enhance lighting effects, or they are simply cut and covered. Rogue windows, on the other hand, simply create a few tiny slits on the surface of the rough jadeite. While this enhances lighting effects, it also conceals minor flaws in the jadeite, such as cotton and small cracks hidden within the rough stone. If a small window is created on a large piece of jadeite, it's easy to only see the surface color, a loss that outweighs the gain.

Li Yang was already 80% to 90% confident. He took out the rough stone from his bag and said directly, "Let's just open the casement window."

The people around were originally just watching the show, but after hearing what Li Yang said, they all restrained their expressions and became more serious.

Tao Lao nodded and said thoughtfully: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Mr. Tao took the raw stone, sat in front of the cutting machine, and observed it carefully with a flashlight. This was the first step in opening the window, inspecting the material. This can effectively avoid damaging the jade in the raw stone during the cutting process.

The people nearby also gathered around, heads huddled together, and discussed in great numbers where to start the cut.

More than ten minutes passed. Tao Lao stroked his beard and gestured on the rough stone: "I think it's better to cut it from here."

Although everyone has their own opinions, Tao Lao's words are authoritative and no one will say anything to refute them.

Li Yang naturally nodded: "I think it's good."

So, Tao Qian quickly started the machine. As the machine was running, Tao Lao held the raw stone in both hands and slowly approached the high-speed rotating slice. As the raw stone came into contact with the slice, everyone's breathing slowed down and they watched Tao Lao's movements without blinking.

As the window of the entire raw stone was opened, the bright green light of the emerald seemed to illuminate this small world in an instant. Someone exclaimed, "It's Yang Green!", followed by exclamations from all sides. Mr. Tao and the machine were surrounded tightly.

People are surprised not only by the quality and color of the jade, but also by the fact that there is not a trace of impurities or cracks inside the cut jade. This is simply a rare and exquisite product!

Soon, people gathered around Li Yang, wanting to buy the jade.

"Little girl, what price do you want for this jade? I'll buy it!"

"I'll buy it, I'll buy it! Just name the price!"

"No matter what they offer, I'll beat them by five hundred dollars!"

Li Yang didn't expect that she would be surrounded all of a sudden and was forced to retreat continuously. Tao Qian came in time and rescued her.

Tao Qian said, "Everyone, we agreed to just come here to check out the goods. The owner hasn't even opened his mouth yet, so why would we chase after him and ask to buy anything?"

After hearing this, everyone realized that they were too excited just now.

Both the person and the goods are related to Tao Qian. If Li Yang is really willing to sell, he will consider Tao Qian first. Unless the price is not right, there is no reason to snatch the goods midway.

Therefore, everyone apologized to Li Yang awkwardly.

Li Yang smiled, not really caring: "We all love jade, so it's understandable. If I have any further plans, I will definitely contact you."

Li Yang's words were perfect, and the extinguished flames in everyone's hearts were rekindled.

There is always hope.
