Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Since he, a big man, asked the question, he naturally couldn't just leave it at that.

Chapter 313 Master Tang

'Men wear Avalokitesvara and women wear Buddha'

Everyone must have heard this sentence.

'Men wear Avalokitesvara and women wear Buddha' is actually a kind of folk prayer, a folk custom.

"Men wear Avalokitesvara", mainly because in the past, those who did business and rushed for exams were all men.

Men tend to be irritable when they are away from home all the year round, while the Avalokitesvara in Chinese Buddhism has a female body, which is a symbol of compassion and gentleness.

Therefore, "Avalokitesvara for men" is to hope that men can be softer and less irritable.

The Bodhisattva "female wearing Buddha" does not refer to other Buddhas, but Maitreya Bodhisattva with a big belly.

Only women and villains are difficult to raise

The ancients sometimes believed that women were narrow-minded and preoccupied, but the shape of Maitreya Bodhisattva with a big belly and a smiley face symbolizes happiness and measure.

Therefore, "female Dai Buddha" hopes that women can be more calm and open-minded.

There is another explanation, 'men wear Guanyin, women wear Buddha'.To put it bluntly, it means: "Men carry official seals, and women carry blessings." '

The male has a prosperous official career and a bright future, while the female is blessed like the East China Sea and has no worries about food and clothing.

Of course, this is just a wish of the people.

As the saying goes, there is everything if you believe it, and nothing if you don't believe it.

In the past, Yang Chen didn't catch a cold on these things.

However, since the incomprehensible thing of rebirth, Yang Chen has maintained a state of half-belief and half-awake about it.

Asking Master Tang to take out a Maitreya Buddha pendant, Yang Chen explained to Laura the meaning of 'men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha'.

Obviously, Laura was moved.

"Chen, does it look good?" Laura touched the Jade Buddha pendant on her neck that Yang Chen personally put on her, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Seeing Laura's look of anticipation, Yang Chen pouted his chin, sized it up a bit, then nodded and smiled: "It's very beautiful, this pendant is very suitable for you."

Hearing Yang Chen's evaluation, Laura's ruddy cheeks were like blooming petals, very delicate and charming.

Without further ado, Yang Chen asked Wu Yaoxin on the side to pay for this jade Buddha pendant worth twenty thousand dollars.

This time Laura didn't refuse again, Yang Chen had already brought the Jade Buddha around her neck, if she continued to refuse to refuse, it would be Yang Chen who would be embarrassed.

"Master Tang, what is this?" After buying the Jade Buddha pendant, Yang Chen set his eyes on the counter, the stone that Master Tang had been studying just now.

Master Tang smiled wryly and said, "This piece of rough jadeite has just been shipped from Myanmar. My two apprentices who are useless bought it back at a high price."

"Raw jadeite," Yang Chen muttered to himself.

Speaking of jadeite, the price of different jadeite materials can be said to be "a slight difference, a thousand miles away." ''

The same piece of emerald jade Buddha, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, even in the 80s, it is not unheard of to have hundreds of millions.

Of course, millions of emeralds generally do not appear in jewelry stores, and the clearly marked prices do not reflect their value.

Only by putting them in the auction house for everyone to bid can they reach their maximum value as much as possible.

The reason why Master Tang smiled wryly was because he found that his two ineffective apprentices had misjudged him and bought the waste rock as a treasure.

It cannot be said that his two incompetent apprentices misjudged, it can only be said that his two apprentices lost the bet.

Jadeite is known as the "King of Jade", which comes from the original jadeite.

Regarding the rough jadeite, there is a jargon in the industry, which is called "the gods can't break an inch of jade", which means guessing the rough jadeite.

Even if it is a fairy, it is very difficult to guess the emerald material under an inch.

After time's precipitation and weathering, a layer of skin will form on the surface of the rough jadeite. Because of the skin, it is difficult for everyone to tell whether a rough stone is of high quality.

Because of this, an ordinary rough stone may also be invaluable.

Even with enough experience and professional vision, sometimes the value of a rough stone cannot be judged [-]%.

This is also the reason why stone gambling has always been popular in the world. No one has a way to determine the value of the stone in hand before it is cut.

Hearing that Master Tang was not sure if there was any jade in this rough stone, this caught Yang Chen's attention.

It stands to reason that there is green in the rough stone, so there should be emeralds, but after cutting it, the rough stone that was originally the size of a washbasin is now cut to the size of a soup bowl.

From the very beginning, it was green, and now the green color is getting weaker and weaker. The two apprentices of Master Tang feel that they have come across a fake.

Originally, the two wanted to cut them all open, but in the end they were stopped by Master Tang.

When I bought this rough stone, I spent a lot of money. If I cut it all open, if there is really nothing inside, I will lose a lot.

Anyway, his shop is open to sell rough stones on weekends and holidays. If someone is willing to spend money to buy this rough stone, even if the price is low, they won't lose out.

Master Tang saw that Yang Chen was interested, so he invited Yang Chen to sit down and drink tea. There was no business in the shop at night, so he was idle.

Master Tang's two apprentices didn't dare to show up for several days because of the purchase of rough stones this time. It would be boring for him to stay in the store all day by himself.

Hearing that Yang Chen came from Xiangjiang, Master Tang had a great feeling for Yang Chen as if he met an old friend in a foreign land.

These days, the tourism boom has not risen yet, not to mention the inland areas, even in Xiangjiang, where the economy has developed, few people travel abroad.

Master Tang's store mainly relies on regular customers and foreigners from other countries who come to France to visit.

On weekdays, there are very few Chinese people who come to travel here, and even if there are, it is difficult to meet them in the leisure time at night.

Master Tang's ancestral home was in Foshan. As he got older, he seldom went back to visit. Xiangjiang was very close to the inland, so he was naturally more informed than he was in France.

He wanted to know more about the situation in the inland area, but once Master Tang opened his chatter box, he couldn't stop it.

Regarding this, Yang Chen didn't bother, and chatted with the old man.

Chatting and chatting, the two of them brought the topic to jade again. Regarding jade, Yang Chen is a novice who doesn't know anything about it.

Seeing this, the old man seemed to be very interested in teaching his apprentices. Seeing that Yang Chen wanted to understand, he taught Yang Chen how to identify the quality of jade little by little.

With decades of experience in knowing people, Master Tang's eyes can see clearly. Just now, Junzi and his party, although they are dressed in ordinary clothes, are obviously bodyguards or something.

There are so many people following him when he goes out, and his family background can be guessed with his toes.It is useless to know more about other aspects, unless the other party intends to develop into the jade industry.
