Reborn in 1985, divorced, fished and raised a baby, and made a lot of money

Snail jade is a fossil of Paleozoic marine pearl snails that has since become silicified. It is a non-renewable natural heritage, and the conditions under which it was formed are extremely harsh, making it extremely rare.

The probability of ancient organisms forming fossils is extremely low, and the probability of forming jade is even smaller. Snail jade, which possesses the four major elements of naturalness, rarity, hardness and beauty, is extremely rare.

The hardness of spiral jade can reach 6.5-7.5. The academic community classifies it as a natural organic gemstone.

Since snail jade is produced in the ancient geological era, it is earlier than the appearance of dinosaurs on the earth.

The mysterious colors of ancient animals accompanied by beautiful patterns, as well as the mysteriousness and rarity of their formation are the intrinsic value of snail jade.

Spiral jade is not only white, but also comes in other colors.

But now, people do not realize the value of spiral jade.

Spiral jade that has no impurities and has good polishing craftsmanship can often be sold at a good price.

Seeing this, Han Xiaorui became more certain that this business could be done.

After returning from the library, Han Xiaorui came to the commercial street and found the handmade shell craft shop, which was now open.

There are three empty shops next to it, and Han Xiaorui plans to sell snail jade in this shop.

It’s easy to set up a shop. Just order a few glass cabinets and install some soft lights. After a little decoration, it can be put into use.

Spiral jade ornaments can be made, which requires craftsmen.

Because most of the conchs that have turned into jade are embedded in coral fossils.

If the master is not experienced, he will not be able to knock out the spiral jade because of his lack of strength.

If you use too much force, it is very likely that cracks will appear inside the snail jade, affecting its appearance.

After much deliberation, Han Xiaorui found Yang Zhigang, wanting to find a master who could make jade jewelry.

After hearing this, Yang Zhigang thought for a moment and said, "I really don't know anyone in this field! Wait a moment, I'll ask for you."

Han Xiaorui nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Yang! After all, this is a technical job, and there are not many people who can do it."

Yang Zhigang smiled and said, "It is said that different trades are like different mountains. We all know about fishing, but we don't know about jade if we have never touched it. Just because we don't know doesn't mean others don't know."

Han Xiaorui readily agreed.

When I came back from Yang Zhigang's place, I happened to pass by Wu's house.

Yao Ziqian and Wu Lingling were returning to her parents' home and just happened to arrive at the door.

Wu Lingling greeted Han Xiaorui immediately when she saw her, "Xiaorui, what's up?"

Han Xiaorui then told him the purpose of looking for Yang Zhigang, "Uncle Yang has a wide network of contacts, but he doesn't know anyone in this field."

When Wu Lingling heard this, she shook her head and laughed, pointing at Yao Ziqian.

"Look for him! He's in the antique street. There are a lot of jade shops there. Some are antique jade, most are current jade that has been aged, and some shops sell jewelry made directly from new jade."

Hearing this, Han Xiaorui's eyes lit up, "Yeah, look at my head, it's like it's spinning in circles, I can't even think of it! Ziqian, do you know anyone in this field?"

Yao Ziqian smiled and nodded, "I know everyone in the antique street now, and I also know a lot of the owners who make jade jewelry."

"Don't worry, I'll ask around for you this afternoon when I get back. See if there's anyone willing to work here."

Han Xiaorui smiled and said, "By the way, help me find out the wages of this kind of masters!"

"Okay!" Yao Ziqian took the job.

In the afternoon, Yao Ziqian returned to the Antique Street from Jinshan Bay. He did not rashly go into other people's shops to inquire.

He found a large piece of paper and wrote on it that he was recruiting skilled workers to make jade jewelry, offering preferential wages.

I put the job posting on the shelf at the door. Not long after, a young man in his twenties poked his head in and asked, "Boss, are you hiring a jade worker?"

Yao Ziqian replied: "Yes, do you want to apply?"

The young man nodded, "Yes, my name is Sun Dayong, and I'm an apprentice at Zhenbaoxuan."

"You are an apprentice over there, and you come here to apply for a job. Don't you want to keep your job there?" Yao Ziqian was curious.

The young man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Apprentices usually do odd jobs and then learn a craft. I was originally a master three years ago, but according to the rules, I should work for the master for three years."

"I also worked according to the regulations, and I received almost no salary for the past three years. But now three years have passed and I want a salary. The master is willing to give it to me, but the master's wife is not willing to give it to me. She also said that my skills are good because the master taught me well, and I have to work for them for five years."

Yao Ziqian was stunned. "That's a bad rule! You are not young anymore. You have parents to take care of. You may have to earn money to support your family, marry a wife and raise children. You can't live without a salary."

Sun Dayong said sadly, "Yes, my parents were both working before, and the family was financially well off. They supported my hobbies, and even if I didn't make money, they still supported me."

"But now my mother's textile factory is about to close down, and my mother has been laid off. The factory where my father works can't even pay the full salary, so they are counting on me to complete the three-year contract and then make money to supplement the family income."

"But if I work for my master and his wife for another two years, my family won't be able to make ends meet, let alone get married and have children. I won't be able to make ends meet. I can't let my parents support me when I'm in my twenties."

Yao Ziqian nodded and smiled, "That's right. As a man, you have to support your family and not let your parents work too hard. So how much salary do you think you are satisfied with now?"

Sun Dayong thought for a moment and said, "It can't be less than 70 yuan."

Hearing this, Yao Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't too high, but it was still okay. "Okay, I'll write you an address. You take your tools and go to a shell handicraft store to find the store manager. Someone will come to inspect your craftsmanship."

Sun Dayong's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Master Yao."

His master's wife said that no one on this street dared to hire him.

Sun Dayong just wanted to come and give it a try, but he didn't expect it to work.

Although he hasn't actually had an interview yet, Sun Dayong is very confident in his skills.

Most of the jade items sold in the master’s shop were made by him and his senior brother.

He has no salary, and his senior brother's salary is also pitifully low.

However, because of what the master's wife said, the senior brother could only continue to work in the Treasure Pavilion in frustration.

Sun Dayong returned to the shop and said he had something to do tomorrow and asked for a day off.

There has been a lot of work lately. The master's wife said, "After you finish your work, come back as soon as possible. There has been a lot of work recently. Your master taught you the craft, you must be conscientious. Once a teacher, you are a father for life."

"If you dare not obey and work hard, you will never be able to survive on this street again. But Dayong, don't worry, if you work for another two years, I guarantee you will be paid."

Thinking of his senior brother's pitifully low salary, which was only half of that of other jade masters, Sun Dayong didn't want to stay here for a moment.

However, before he found a job, he didn't dare to be stubborn with his master's wife.

After packing some tools in his bag, Sun Dayong quietly left.

The next day, Sun Dayong took the bus to Jinshan Bay. He was shocked and thought he had taken the wrong route.
