"I've already eaten, Mrs. Sheng, how about I just start?" She spoke carefully, fearing that her words would displease the person in front of her.
"Sure, I've put the material in that study room," Nanqiao said, pointing to the previous study room.
"Okay, then Mrs. Sheng, I'll go get busy first." After saying that, she thought of the cutting machine she had brought in, and put her tool bag at the door, and said to Jian Hua, "I'll go with you to move it." Jian Hua was the only man in the room, and she was also working, so it was not easy to ask others for help, so it was better for her to help herself.
"Please go into the room and see where to put it. I can do it myself." Jian Hua bowed slightly to Nanqiao and left the room.
Soon the cutting machine was brought in. Boss Tao was surprised to see Jian Hua carrying the machine in without breathing heavily and doing it with ease. He thought that he could be a bodyguard. His strength was not wasted.
After the cutting machine was put away and plugged in, Boss Tao took a pen and gently drew on the stone, saving the stone to the greatest extent possible.
Half an hour later, after making sure that his cutting lines were correct, Mr. Tao got stuck on the cutting machine and prepared to start work. As soon as the machine was turned on, Mr. Tao seemed to have thought of something, so he turned the machine off again and went out to find Nanqiao.
Nanqiao had just finished his meal and was strolling in the yard with the help of Aunt Zhou. When he saw Boss Tao coming out, Nanqiao stood still.
"Boss Tao, is there anything I can do for you?"
"It's like this, I'm going to start cutting. Although the cutting machine has a cover, it still makes a lot of noise. You're pregnant, so I wanted to tell you."
"No problem, just do your job." Nanqiao waved his hand to let Boss Tao start working normally. The cutting would only take a while, and it wouldn't be a continuous sound. Besides, she agreed to come to her house to do it, so she was naturally mentally prepared.
"Okay, I'll go then." Seeing that Nanqiao didn't care, Boss Tao said nothing more and went back into the house to continue working.
The sound of cutting stone lasted for nearly 20 minutes before it stopped. Nanqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had said it too early. The sharp sound was really annoying. Fortunately, the stone was not that big and it would not take long to cut.
"Mrs. Sheng, this is the remaining half of the material. Why don't you put it away first and talk about this after you finish making the dragon and phoenix plaques?" Boss Tao said as he put the material on the table. Nanqiao and his family must have something like a safe in their house. She couldn't use it here for the time being, so it would be safer to put it away.
"Okay, just leave it there for now." Nanqiao looked at the nearly half of the stone left. Boss Tao really took a lot of effort to make three pairs of dragon and phoenix tiles and still have so much left. She thought that at most only one third would be left.
Seeing that Nanqiao had an idea, Boss Tao no longer cared about the stone on the table. He only took a reluctant look at it before leaving, and then went back to the house to continue working.
After the material is cut, the next step is the delicate work of carving, and the room is no longer noisy.
However, it took nearly a month to complete this work. According to Boss Tao's craftsmanship and dexterity, it should have taken about 20 days to complete the work. However, the stone was so rare that Boss Tao treated it like his precious work and carefully considered every cut. As a result, except for lunch and going to the toilet, Boss Tao was busy in the study as soon as he entered Nanqiao's house. In the end, it took nearly a month to complete it.
Nanqiao initially thought that it took too long, but now that she was looking at the finished jewelry on the table, she felt that the one-month wait was not a waste. She had already put away the dragon and phoenix plaques. Because they were more traditional styles, they were all made of jadeite and were not inlaid with any other jewels.
As for this set, Nanqiao planned to wear it herself, so when Boss Tao drew the blueprint, Nanqiao took out a lot of diamonds. Now the finished necklace and the base around the two earrings are inlaid with a lot of diamonds, which are shining brightly in the sun.
With the remaining half of the jade, Boss Tao made a jade hairpin, a bracelet, a necklace, a pair of earrings, and a pair of pendants for Nanqiao. Even the remaining scraps of jade were not wasted. Boss Tao polished them into small oval jades and made a bracelet for Nanqiao. It can be said that he made full use of them without any waste.
"This is the final payment, Mr. Tao, please keep it." Nanqiao pushed the brown paper bag on the table forward, then picked up the necklace and looked at it carefully. This one really touched her heart, and she liked it no matter how she looked at it.
"This... this is too much." When Boss Tao picked up the brown paper bag, he was slightly startled. The heavy amount was much more than what was agreed before.
"You deserve this. You've taken a lot of trouble to make so many pieces of jewelry out of that piece of stone." Nanqiao's words came from the bottom of her heart. She knew how many pieces of jewelry could be made out of that material. She was able to make so many pieces because, on the one hand, Boss Tao took the trouble to make them from all angles without wasting a single cent. On the other hand, Boss Tao was very honest. She could see how much Boss Tao liked these things, but even though he liked them, he had never had any bad thoughts in the past month.
"This is what I should do. I hope I can serve you again in the future." Seeing that Nanqiao had no intention of taking it back, Boss Tao thanked him and took the bag of money.
"Of course, if there is good material, I will definitely come to you." Nanqiao said as she pondered the pieces of material in her space that were better than this one. She was a little tempted, but she had just taken out a top-quality piece, and she didn't plan to take out another one for the time being. She was not interested in using these things to test people's nature. Even if Boss Tao was interested in her again, she couldn't be sure if he would change after she took out so many top-quality pieces.
