Hearing his uncle say this, Yang Jing just wanted to laugh.
My uncle didn't mean to take me to Uncle Jianmin's place. It was obviously because he was itching to do something.
Yang Jing wanted to say to his uncle, "Uncle, you don't have to go with me. I know Uncle Jianmin's place, and I'm very familiar with Uncle Jianmin. I can go there by myself. You should stay at home and take care of grandpa and grandma."
However, seeing the irrepressible desire hidden under his uncle's calm face, Yang Jing tactfully did not say this.
Although my uncle hasn't gambled on gemstones for more than ten years, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like it anymore.
Forget it, since he is willing to go and have a look, then just go with him. Then just don't let him get started.
The uncle drove Yang Jing's Wrangler, and Yang Jing and the van driver sat in the van. The two cars drove one after the other towards Uncle Jianmin's Mo Shuzhai.
Uncle Jianmin’s full name is Xu Jianmin, and he has been playing together with my uncle for nearly 30 years. Every Chinese New Year, Uncle Jianmin and several other uncles, all of whom are my uncle’s sworn brothers, will come to my grandparents to wish them a happy new year. However, they do not wish to wish them a happy new year in the ordinary sense. After they come, they really kowtow to my grandparents to wish them a happy new year.
When my uncle was young, he knew a lot of people in Tianqu City, from all walks of life, and he also had many sworn brothers. It can be said that his friendships were spread throughout the entire Tianqu City.
Uncle Jianmin is also a legendary guy. According to his uncle, when Xu Jianmin was in school, he was a well-known gangster leader in No. 4 Middle School. He was a terrible student, but he was very good at wrestling.
Xu Jianmin is not tall, only about 1.7 meters at most, but he has a strong body and looks like a strong and powerful man.
When he was in school, Xu Jianmin was surrounded by a large group of younger brothers, and he was very successful. But when he graduated from high school, he was a little dumbfounded. He was not good at studying and it was difficult to find a job, so he started mounting calligraphy and paintings.
No one knows how such a good fighter suddenly got into calligraphy and painting mounting. But it is true that his business is getting more and more prosperous. When he first started, he and his girlfriend rented a large house on the second floor of the Tianqu City Veteran Affairs Bureau Activity Center. They lived, ate and worked in that large house. The conditions were quite difficult.
As a result, the couple gritted their teeth and persevered. After entering the 21st century, their business became more and more prosperous. Gradually, they no longer worked in the big house, but bought a shop, and later bought three residential buildings and two shops. Up to now, the Mo Shu Zhai run by Xu Jianmin has become a very famous calligraphy and painting art shop in Tianqu City.
Moreover, Xu Jianmin also taught himself seal carving, and later he learned painting from two famous teachers in Jinling and Yanjing. Up to now, Yang Jing's uncle Jianmin is also a well-known painter and seal engraver in Tianqu City, and it seems that he is also registered in the Provincial Calligraphers and Painters Association.
Life is so strange. If you look at Xu Jianmin's appearance when he was in school, no one would have thought that he would become a painter in the future, but the fact is so magical...
Xu Jianmin's Mo Shu Zhai is located on Di'an Street in the center of Tianqu City. This store is more than 200 square meters. When Xu Jianmin and his wife bought this store 15 years ago, it was only 6,000 yuan per square meter. Now the price of the store here has already exceeded 40,000 yuan per square meter.
Now Xu Jianmin and his family of three live in the Shizhong Garden Community behind the store. All the buildings in this community are multi-storey and located in the city center. It is one of the best communities in Tianqu City.
After arriving here, the uncle first gave a big hug to Xu Jianmin who came out to greet him, and then Yang Jing went up to greet him.
"Hey, Xiaojing, are you back from England? Are you going back to school?" Uncle Jianmin is still the same short and stocky figure, but as he gets older, he has started to gain weight, and is gradually becoming more like a ball.
"No, I'm not going back. I've already graduated with a master's degree and I don't plan to go back to study. I want to take a two-year break first."
"That's good. I've been wandering around outside for two years. It's time to come back and settle down."
"Brother, why did you leave all your tools here with me?" Seeing the tools on the car, Uncle Jianmin asked his uncle curiously.
"Haha, I don't need these things anymore. Yang Jing happened to want to use them, so I gave them to him. But he bought four pieces of material at Baoyuzhai in the Grand Canal Antique City today and wanted to untie them himself. I figured he had no place to untie them, so I just sent them to you and asked you to help my nephew with some advice."
"Fuck, it's not like you don't understand this, why do you need me to instruct Yang Jing? Okay, now that it's here, let's unload it."
As the uncle and Xu Jianmin were moving things, they said, "If I still touch this, would I still bring these things to you? Didn't I swear that I would never touch this stuff again? Anyway, you often need to remove stones here, so isn't it just right to bring them to you?"
Yang Jing's uncle Jianmin is two years older than his uncle. He not only paints, but also often carves seals for others, so he often needs to cut stones.
The things were unloaded quickly, Yang Jing paid the money, and the driver of the van drove away.
This workshop is located at the back of Mo Shu Zhai, with a door connecting to the store in front. Originally, this room was a sundry room of the property management in the community, used to store cleaning staff's tools. It had no property ownership certificate or land certificate. Later, it was bought by Jianmin's uncle for 40,000 yuan and converted into the current workshop.
Because the noise generated when cutting stones is very loud, Uncle Jianmin made some renovations to this 30-square-meter workshop. He blocked all the original doors and windows, and installed sound-absorbing and sound-isolating materials inside. This way, when cutting stones inside, almost no sound can be heard from outside.
After all, this workshop is located right between two residential buildings in the Shizhong Garden Community. The noise is too loud and the residents won't tolerate it.
The workshop is not small and there is also a mobile vacuum cleaner inside.
This vacuum cleaner is not a household vacuum cleaner. It is fixed on the wall, with one end leading to the outside of the wall and the other end being a large movable pipe, with a huge inverted funnel at the end of the pipe.
When breaking down the stone, there will be a lot of dust. At that time, pull the thick tube with the funnel to one side of your body. After starting the vacuum cleaner, use an electric fan on the other side to blow in the direction of the funnel. Most of the dust will be sucked away by this huge funnel and then discharged out of the house.
"How about this studio I built by myself? It's pretty good, right?" Uncle Jianmin was obviously very satisfied with his DIY studio and asked for praise with a smile.
Yang Jing gave him a thumbs up.
