"This..." The jade dealer's face fell, and then he paused, and then changed his expression immediately: "Good eyesight, look at this one!"
He pointed to another stone and said carefully, "Look at this, this is the first piece of the goods."
Shui Yiyao looked over.
That piece looked like it must have weighed one or two hundred kilograms, a piece of Black Mountain material, with neatly cut stubble. It was indeed a good piece. She held a flashlight to it, and it had good light transmittance. It was beautiful, and it should be able to be made into a bracelet.
It was indeed a top-quality product, but she knew she couldn't afford it without asking.
At least six figures.
She now has 50,000 yuan in her pocket.
Really, it's not easy to go out without money. A stone this big would cost a lot of money to ship. If she had a few hundred thousand, she could definitely buy it.
She looked at Peng Qianjin and said, "This material is really good. Take a look."
Mrs. Peng watched her and the owner of the goods from the side, a little stunned. Shui Yiyao...actually knows something about this?
She didn't understand what was going on between them, she just saw that the attitude of the cargo owner suddenly changed. Originally, it was agreed that he would bring Shui Yiyao to make some money from her and split the money 30% and 70%, but the cargo owner suddenly changed his attitude.
Peng Qianjin pointed at the stone and said, "This..."
Shui Yiyao: "I can consider the three hundred. I can carve some beads and make some bead carvings."
"Are you engaged in finished product processing?" asked the owner.
Shui Yiyao nodded: "Yes."
The owner of the goods said: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it this time. Just contact me next time if you need it. It's good stuff if it's kept. Here, this is my business card."
Shui Yiyao took it, took a look at it, and put it in her bag: "Okay."
The owner of the goods said: "If you need me, I'll be here anytime. Also, if you want this stone, take it away for three hundred. It's considered a friendship."
Miss Peng: “???” Where’s the agreed 300,000?
Shui Yiyao was a little tempted, 300 yuan was really a sincere price.
"Thank you, Adasi. I don't plan to collect the materials this time. I'll do it next time. I'll definitely contact you if I need anything."
She has no money now, so every penny has to be spent wisely. The profit from buying mountain materials is a bit low.
Shui Yiyao walked towards another exhibition area. Peng Qianjin followed her in a daze, frowning and hesitant to speak: "You..."
Shui Yiyao: "I'll go shopping by myself, you go back."
Peng Qianjin: "What do you mean?"
Shui Yiyao glanced at her and continued looking at the booth next to her: "I know you want to cheat me out of my money, but now I'm not happy with you."
Peng Qianjin stopped in her tracks and said, "You're talking nonsense! When did I ever cheat you out of money?"
Shui Yiyao heard her suddenly raise her voice and looked over at her, frowning slightly: "What are you yelling about? Do you want to go to the police station to talk about it?"
Peng Qianjin blushed: "I take your kindness as my loyalty. Don't forget, it was you who insisted on pestering me to introduce you to someone else..."
Shui Yiyao: "Oh, then you're recommending the three hundred yuan item to me as if it were three hundred thousand yuan?"
"I don't care."
She stopped talking and continued walking forward, looking at the things in the exhibition hall one by one. "I don't have time to argue with you. If you want to go to the police, then call the police. If not, then get out of here."
Peng Qianjin: "You are so arrogant now, but don't forget. Without me, how can you expand your network?"
"What are connections?" Shui Yiyao smiled again after hearing this. She took out the business card the jade merchant had just given her from her bag and gently patted Peng Qianjin's face. "That's what connections are."
Peng Qianjin's face turned dark: "Just wait!"
Watching Miss Peng turn and leave, Shui Yiyao put the business card back into her bag and continued looking at her things. If she hadn't had any evidence, she would have called the police long ago. It was Peng's turn to shout this.
Just leave, I'm too lazy to chat with her.
Shui Yiyao walked deeper into the exhibition hall and saw a place selling seed materials.
Among Hetian jades, seed material is the most expensive.
Jade raw stones are generally divided into mountain materials and seed materials, with a small amount of other materials. The mountain materials are the ones I saw at the boss’s stall before, large pieces of raw stones, all of which are jade-encased and have thick stone skin.
The seed material is different. It looks like a pebble without a thick stone skin. It looks like a piece of jade. It is because of this natural extraordinary that it is worth a lot of money.
In fact, the seed material was originally made of mountain material, but it was rolled into the river, and the river water and sand and gravel polished away the stone skin, leaving only the jade in the middle.
This is the truth, but the seed material is still valuable.
Her fifty thousand yuan could only buy a seed the size of a thumb.
Although she knew it in her heart, she still went to the stall to carefully select. Finally, she chose a piece of seed material with gold skin. This piece of jade was larger than she expected, because it was obviously stiff.
"Jade" refers to the stone nature of jade, the part that is not perfectly jadeified.
The store wanted 56,000 yuan, but because of this obvious flaw, Shui Yiyao bargained several times and finally sold it to 48,000 yuan.
Shui Yiyao took the seed material and returned home satisfied. She couldn't wait to start working.
When she got home, she turned on the machine, which she hadn't had time to try out yet. Unfamiliar with the machines, she didn't dare to use them directly on jade, but instead went downstairs and picked up two pebbles to test the strength of the machine.
After getting familiar with the machine, Shui Yiyao did not start working immediately. Instead, she picked up the seed she had bought and prepared to start making the draft on it.
As soon as she picked up the pen, she paused, then put down the jade and picked up her cell phone.
She opened a live broadcast platform.
This is the live broadcast platform where she previously recorded "Comfort Home".
She registered an account and neatly named it Chengdao Jade Carving. This was the name of her jade carving studio in her previous life, given by her grandfather. He always said that they, the intangible cultural heritage artisans, inherited not only the craft, but also the "Tao".
Although she couldn't explain what this "Tao" meant, since it was the name given by her grandfather, she would not change it easily.
After registering an account, she started live streaming.
There is no other way. She has no customers now. Live streaming on the Internet is also one of the promotion channels. If a customer is interested in buying the product, she won’t have to go through the trouble of promotion.
She selected relevant tags such as "jade carving" and "seed material", positioned the camera, and started broadcasting.
The camera was aimed at the workbench where the seed material was placed, without showing her. Only the material and tools could be seen on the screen.
There were no viewers in the live broadcast room, but Shui Yiyao didn't care. She took a pen and some seed material and started talking and working.
“Now it’s a draft.”
"This piece of material is seed material, sprinkled with gold skin, white jade, this part is a bit stiff."
She gestured with the tip of her pen, circling the rocky and stiff part.
"So the design must avoid this rigidity."
"My design is about Zhong Kui catching ghosts. This piece of gold-sprinkled leather can be cleverly carved into his golden robe and the sword in his arms."
This is the charm of handmade jade carving. It can utilize the characteristics of the jade itself, flexibly design, cleverly avoid flaws and highlight advantages.
[Netizen "I Love Painting" gave a "little star" as a reward.]
Suddenly, the phone issued a voice prompt.
Shui Yiyao looked up.
Little stars are the most basic reward items on the platform. They are given to users by the platform after they sign in, and they are free of charge.
A comment floated across the screen: The host draws well.
Shui Yiyao raised an eyebrow: "Just okay?"
There was another lonely comment on the screen: Pretty good, keep it up.
Shui Yiyao started writing again: "Okay, I will try my best."
"Thank you for the tip. May Zhong Kui bless you."
