At the outermost part of the studio, there are several machines used for polishing jade.
There are cutting machines, manual grinders, abrasives, punching pins, grinding pins, and all sorts of other things. Many of them are unfamiliar to me, but they are all clearly professional tools.
It's clear that Li Dongyun is indeed very good at this.
She probably buys jade herself and then cuts and polishes it into jade bracelets, beads, pendants, and other jade items, all by herself.
Then, inside there was a room with many wooden shelves, on which were displayed all kinds of high-quality jade.
Needless to say, most people have probably never seen these things before, and if you really wanted to estimate their value, they would probably be priceless.
No wonder Ye Wenyue said that any item in Li Dongyun's workshop could be equivalent to a small courtyard.
These things would definitely be valuable if they were sent to a specialized place to sell.
Li Dongyun stood in front of the wooden shelves displaying jade. She pointed to the items and said to Yun Duoduo, "Duoduo, you can choose whatever you like. If you see something you like, just take it."
Yun Duoduo had already accepted a fine bracelet from Li Dongyun last time, so she was really embarrassed to accept it this time. She smiled and said, "Auntie, these things of yours are too valuable. I really can't bring myself to take them away like this."
But Li Dongyun ignored what Yun Duoduo said. Her eyes swept around the wooden shelf, and then she suddenly took a jade bracelet from the middle of the shelf, saying, "This bracelet."
Holding up the bracelet, Li Dongyun said with a smile, "The jade used to make this bracelet came from a very special place. My master told me that this jade is not an ordinary thing. If an ordinary person can't hold onto it, it will cause a lot of trouble. But if someone can hold onto it, then it is a great blessing."
Yun Duoduo fell in love with the jade bracelet at first sight.
The beads used to make the bracelet aren't very big, but the translucent jadeite is hard not to love. A single bead from such a bracelet would probably cost over a thousand yuan at this time.
Moreover, this bracelet has eighteen beads.
Although Yun Duoduo liked it, upon hearing Li Dongyun's words, she smiled and asked, "Auntie, how do you think I can handle this jade?"
Looking at the bracelet on her wrist, Li Dongyun smiled and shook her head, "You may not know, but we jade researchers are also very good at judging people."
Then, she looked at Yun Duoduo, shook her head and said, "I can't explain why, it's just a feeling. I feel that you can do it, so you can do it."
"Of all the people I've met, only you and your mother are worthy of wearing the jade I gave you."
That's right. Among all these relatives, Li Dongyun had only given Ye Wenyue a jade bracelet before.
Ye Wenyue also always wore it on her wrist.
Speaking of Ye Wenyue, Li Dongyun smiled and said, "Your mother is indeed blessed. She was born into a wealthy family and later married your father and had children. Your father rose through the ranks, and your mother had both a son and a daughter and was very much loved."
At this point, Li Dongyun looked at Yun Duoduo and nodded, saying, "Now it's your turn. You are even more blessed than your mother because, in addition to being pampered, you also have your own abilities. So, I say you can do it, and you can do it."
Yun Duoduo probably understood what Li Dongyun meant.
In fact, whether you're into antiques or jade, people are very particular about what they feel a connection with.
Or perhaps it's related to metaphysics as well.
She really liked this bracelet; perhaps it was a case of "love at first sight."
Li Dongyun told Yun Duoduo, "This jade bracelet has eighteen beads in total. You must keep it safe and not lose any of them."
After saying that, Li Dongyun seemed to think of something and said softly, "Perhaps, this bracelet can play a very important role when you need it in the future."
That's it. Without waiting for Yun Duoduo's consent, Li Dongyun put the bracelet on Yun Duoduo's wrist.
The moment Yun Duoduo put on the bracelet, she felt a warm sensation all over her body and felt very comfortable.
It felt like all the pores on my body had been opened up, making me feel completely relaxed.
Moreover, it was November, so the jade bracelet should have felt icy cold when worn, but Yun Duoduo found it quite warm.
She instantly fell in love with it. "Thank you, Auntie. This is really something special. It's so warm to wear on my hands."
Upon hearing this, Li Dongyun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yun Duoduo and nodded repeatedly, "Master is right. Jade has a spirit. When I held this bracelet in my hand, it was still cold, but it became warm when it was on you. Giving this to you was definitely the right thing to do. Take good care of it from now on."
"Thank you, Auntie." Yun Duoduo raised the bracelet and examined it closely.
Li Dongyun smiled at Yun Duoduo, then rummaged through the shelves again, found a safety amulet on another shelf, took it down, and put it around Yan Dongdong's neck. "Dongdong, this is a gift from your aunt. It will keep you safe. Remember, no matter what, never take this safety amulet off."
Dongdong didn't understand these things very well, but he thought they were toys and liked wearing them. He immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Dongyun."
Li Dongyun patted Yan Dongdong's head, pointed to the yard outside and said, "If you like it, that's good. Auntie's workshop has too many things and it's not fun. Let's go sit in the yard for a while and see what delicious food Aunt Zhou has made for us."
Yun Duoduo pulled Yan Dongdong along and followed Li Dongyun to the courtyard.
Just then, Aunt Zhou made some pastries and brought them out on a plate.
Aunt Zhou is very skillful. She used glutinous rice flour and water chestnuts to make water chestnut cakes and other things similar to mochi.
Both of these things are milky white and translucent inside; just looking at them makes one's mouth water.
Li Dongyun offered them some pastries, saying with a smile, "Aunt Zhou is from the South, these are all Southern pastries. She's very good at making them. Try them and see if you like them."
Yun Duoduo and Yan Dongdong took a bite of the water chestnut cake, and the fragrance of water chestnuts instantly filled their mouths, mixed with the aroma of the cake.
Yun Duoduo sincerely praised, "Aunt Zhou's skills are really good. These pastries are even better than those bought outside."
Yan Dongdong quickly finished one piece and started to take a second one, his mouth stuffed full, saying, "Yes, even my mother wouldn't make such delicious pastries."
"Come often then, and Aunt Zhou will make all sorts of pastries for you," Aunt Zhou said with a smile to Yun Duoduo and the others.
“When I was a child, my family ran a pastry shop. Later, some things happened in the family, and the pastry shop had to close down, but the family’s traditional skills are still there.”
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door, "bang bang bang..."
Aunt Zhou quickly stood up. "You all eat, I'll go open the door and see who's here."
