jade carver

The five matches lasted for three days and three nights, without a break in between, Xu An's eyes were red from the heat.

Xu An lost the first match.In the second fight, Xu An still lost.In the third game, the middle-aged jade carving master of the Shanghai school played. I don't know if it was luck or some real skills in his hands, and he won the game.

Xu An took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, his hands shaking when he lit the cigarette. With three victories in five games, he must win the next two games.

After three consecutive matches, both sides were a little tired. The Vietnamese businessman took the lead in calling for an intermission. Although Xu An was a little reluctant, he didn't dare to press too hard, so he agreed to rest for half an hour.

Xu An personally went to pour a glass of water for the Hai Pai master who had just won, and said, "Master Feng, I'm sorry to trouble you, please take care of me for the next two rounds."

"Boss, you're welcome, this is what I should do." Master Feng responded, and continued to rest with his eyes closed.He only narrowly won the jade carving competition just now. To be honest, it cannot be said that he has won completely. What he won was nothing more than time.There should be only one person on the other side fighting. Judging from the traces of the previous two jade carvings, they are all the same. I must be very tired now.

Lao Xia is indeed very tired now. He held his breath for three games in a row before, but after all, he was a step behind in the third game.Lao Xia was resting on the sofa, with his fingers still holding the twisted jade mound. If you look carefully, you can even see your fingertips trembling slightly.

He is very tired, his body is tired, and his heart is even more tired.After seeing the "Little Caitou" suet jade that Xu An sent over for them to compete in, Lao Xia's heart felt as if someone had cut him with a knife, and the pain was so painful that he was speechless.The master cherished the treasure for half his life, and now it has turned into such a messy end... When Lao Xia remembered the small piece of mutton jade that he had carved just now, he could no longer lift his fingers. The fingertips were tingling.

Cheng Ye carefully held Lao Xia's hand to soothe his muscles and bones. He was already a little stiff. He was worried about Lao Xia, so he couldn't help but said, "Master, let me do it next time..."

Lao Xia didn't say a word, he had figured out who Xu An had brought, and there was a master among them.

Previously, Lao Xia was stimulated by the mutton fat jade that had been cut into pieces. He fought three times in a row, and only the master won one.With Xu An's temperament, he must let that master continue to compete. If it is this person, Cheng Ye's skills are not bad, but he is afraid of losing to those inexperienced eyes.Lao Xia can't take this risk, even if it's a piecemeal thing, he must bring it back to the former teacher.Their master's school is gone, and he can't let the last thought of the master be trampled clean.

"What's the next game? Wenxuan discerning jade, or fighting jade?" Lao Xia didn't open his eyes, he spoke very slowly, and his voice was even lower, like a real old man.

"Uncle Shi, the next game is Wenxuan, distinguishing ancient jade. Take a break, let me come?" Xu Junjie looked worried, he knew that Lao Xia's eyes were not good, and now this way of cooking is probably holding him out , but also damage the eyes. "I have learned a lot from the master, I, I will..."

Lao Xia reluctantly opened his eyes, and sure enough, his eyes had begun to blur. His physical strength was almost at the limit, and now it was almost as black as before his eyes.He slowly closed his eyes again, and asked Xu Junjie, "Have you got in touch with your master? When will they arrive?"

Xu Junjie's face was ugly, "Master and the others encountered trouble in the competition. The judges would say that there is something wrong with Xiaowen and Xiaowu's things, and they will be detained."

Lao Xia also guessed a little bit, Mr. Xu has been suffering in the factory, and now he is probably participating in the competition with a broken heart. Presumably the jade carvings made by Xiaowen and Xiaowu are the unique skill of the master in the factory "Double Dragon Show" beads".Old man Xu was afraid that he really wanted to make Xu An lose his money, so he refused to even give him the last chance to flop.Lao Xia sighed, and said to Xu Junjie: "My eyes are not good, you can replace me this time."

"Yes."

At the same time, in the competition led by old man Xu, three "Double Dragon Playing Pearls" appeared.One of them was written by Xu An in the name of his teacher, and it was placed in the exhibition hall swaggeringly, waiting for the master to evaluate; the other two appeared at the on-site production site in the novice area at the same time, and were produced by two children. creation.Although it hasn't finished yet, but based on such speed and carving work, it is definitely a victory!

The same thing appeared in the competition, which was almost equivalent to slapping the jade carving master brought by Xu An hard!He squeezed his recommendation letter, looked at old man Xu bitterly, and said, "Master Xu, you already knew that such a thing would happen, right? I remember that when the boss wrote the recommendation letter, you always objected to him using the teacher's door." In the name of... But we are also on the same boat now! Don't you think this is a bit too much!"

The old man Xu blew on the tea in front of him, and took a sip of the tea stalks floating on it, barely suppressing his anger, and said: "What is too much, I just returned what you made to you intact. That's all. You have been in the jade factory for seven or eight years, heh, it is not surprising that you can find the notes left by the old man before his death. I have always wondered why you suddenly have such a good atlas. ' or carving 'Double Dragon Playing Pearl', how could it be so familiar..."

The master was a little nervous, his eyes wandered from side to side and he didn't dare to look at the old man Xu, he couldn't help but interrupt him: "It's not what I want to see, yes, the little boss forced it on me, he wants me..."

"Did he ask you to imitate the 'Double Dragon Playing Pearl' according to the map left by the old man?!" Old man Xu slapped the tea bowl on the table, staring at him with burning eyes. "I just want to ask you, have you worshiped the master? Do you recognize the master?! Why do you use the master's map! And why use the name of the master to recommend to the evaluation exhibition area?!"

Although their sect has fallen, a bug is never allowed to exist!The master didn't allow it, and the old man Xu and his brothers absolutely didn't allow it either!

"But the boss, the boss said that we must win! I have no choice but to do this...Master Xu, the two children of Master Xu are Xiaowen and Xiaowu, right? You tell them, let them admit their mistakes and admit defeat , we must win this time, or the factory will be ruined!" The jade carving master was sweating profusely, with a pale face, trying to convince old man Xu that if everyone knew about this, not only the jade factory, but also himself His future is all over. "I will kowtow to Mr. Xu when I go back, and I accept the punishment... I just ask you to put the overall situation first this time, we can't afford to lose now!"

The old man Xu was upset when he heard that, he left him and left.The Jade Factory has long been hollowed out by Xu An. In a situation where they have already lost, how can there be anything they can't afford to lose?He is more concerned about Lao Xia's side now. Lao Xia has Xu Junjie and Cheng Ye with him, and he doesn't know if he can handle it.There are black market rules in the black market, even if he goes there, he can't cheat, he can only gamble and fight with his ability.Lao Xia has a small number of people and poor eyesight. After a few days of support, he must have reached his limit, right?Old man Xu sighed. The only thing he was looking forward to now was that Xu An didn't recruit good players to follow him before he went to Tengchong.

Xu An just recruited a good player this time, but not all good players will be successful.

The fourth session is about ancient blood jade. A row of three ancient blood jades with a vicissitudes of life are placed on a tray, and they are taken to two jade carving masters for identification. The identification here is not just as easy as distinguishing true from false. There is still value.Regardless of whether it is true or false, the highest price wins.

Xu An thought he was very good at identifying ancient jade, but he was also a little scrupulous. If he lost this time, he would lose everything.But two hours were about to pass, and the master of the Shanghai style was still sweating profusely on his forehead, speechless.

Xu An was in a hurry, but he couldn't say anything, he just watched with the Shanghai master with a gloomy face.Xu An had played with ancient jade before, and knew a little about blood jade.There are two kinds of blood jade, one is a stone produced in the snowy plains of Tibet, and the other is somewhat legendary, it is a jade that has been soaked in blood and buried for several years, and is extremely valuable.

The pieces of jade on the tray in front of him are obviously the latter: the first piece of jade is blood-stained; the second piece seems to have just been unearthed, and it still has a smell of corruption in the soil, but the feeling of blood seeping through the jade It is absolutely unmistakable; the third piece is even more bright red like blood, as if it has been meticulously plated for many years, the color is beautiful and ruddy.

Xu An couldn't help cursing, "How the hell can you tell? Who can tell at a glance whether it's human blood or dog blood...!" After scolding, he couldn't help but glared at the people standing behind him. Master Jade Carving, these are the people who lost the competition before, Xu An was not polite to them at all, "What can you do with money?! It's really useless!"

The faces of several jade carving masters were a little bit bad, but they also endured and did not show up.They were a little dissatisfied with Xu An before, and now they are even more resentful, fearing that they will never be recruited by Xu An again.

"Boss, the blood in the jade can be called blood jade, but these pieces are all bloody. If I cut it open to feel the difficulty of eating the jade, and try the smoothness, I may be able to tell, but that It will lose a lot of value...it is very likely to draw with the opponent." The master of the Shanghai School is good at people, he used words to hold Xu An, trying to let Xu An make his own decision. "I'm afraid it won't be a draw now. If we want to win, we have to borrow the good luck of the boss."

Xu An was originally a gambler, when he heard him say this, he immediately asked: "What excuse?"

The master pointed to the two pieces of blood jade, No. [-] and No. [-], and said, "These two pieces are of high value, the boss should choose one of them."

Xu An wanted to scold her, but seeing that the time was coming soon, he still wrote the number three on the label in his hand.If he chooses one of the two, he will not necessarily lose.Xu An stared at the bright red blood jade, his eyes were reddened like a demon, "That's it, I don't believe I've been unlucky all my life!"

Xu An's good luck in these years seems to have accumulated to the fourth match, he chose randomly, and he was actually chosen for him.When he heard the waiter come in and say that he was preparing for the fifth engraving competition, Xu An's heart almost popped out of his chest with excitement.He won, he won by himself, and he still has a chance to come back!

Xu Junjie in the living room of the small meeting had a very bad expression on his face, and he could not utter a word with his lips clenched.

"Junjie, read to me the title of the fifth scene." Lao Xia sat on the sofa not far behind him, forced to open a pair of cloudy eyes and looked at the small box in front of him. He knew that once he opened it, there would be Another piece of wish that Xu An cut into pieces. "We still have one more game to beat him."
