Chapter 181 Wei Jiaguo's Routine
Chapter 181 Wei Jiaguo’s routine
I guess Zhang Wei won't be able to come back tonight, but he just doesn't know which of the three college students he deceived.
After returning home, Chu Mingcheng put down the box in his hand, opened it and took out the specimens inside.
There was an indescribable smell emanating from the specimen, and there was a bit of foam plastic in it.
At first glance, the whole crocodile gar still retains its original appearance, with its mouth wide open, revealing sharp teeth.
But in fact it is just an empty shell, which is very light to hold.
There is a long incision on the abdomen, which is now sewn up. The eye is a prosthetic eye, but the specimen looks very vivid when viewed from a distance.
Chu Mingcheng felt that Bai Yueke and the others could prepare the specimen so quickly, so there must be many participants.
It's just that he really didn't like the appearance of the crocodile gar. He originally thought it would be better if it was made into a specimen, but he didn't expect it to be even uglier.
"Ayang, do you want this specimen?"
"Yes, this crocodile gar is big enough. When I open a shop here next year, I will put it in the shop." Chen Yang looked like a specimen, and Chen Yang had no reason to refuse.
"Okay, just leave that thing here with me first, and you can come and get it later!"
Chu Mingcheng moved both boxes into the small room. As for Jiang Luoluo, he was not interested in these.
After dinner in the evening, Chen Yang worked in the living room with his laptop.
Chu Mingcheng went to Jiang Luoluo's house and edited the previous tuna hunting video with her.
There are many spectacular scenes in the trip to Dongsha, which need to be edited well.
Of course, so many wonderful shots cannot be played at once. After discussion, the two decided to divide it into three videos: upper, middle and lower.
They were busy at home, but in a private restaurant on the other side, Wei Jiaguo pointed at the big mandarin fish swimming back and forth in the fish tank and said, "How about my mandarin fish? It's not smaller than the one you had a few years ago, right?"
"
"Aguo, you can do it. I just caught a nearly three-meter swordfish a few days ago, and now I have a rare giant mandarin fish."
An old man with silver hair on his head but still a strong body said in praise.
Wei Jiaguo invited three people today, and all three of them seemed to be about the same age as him. The silver-haired one was the one who made a twenty-pound mandarin fish feast for him.
Then another old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit next to him said: "Do you think something is wrong? Are there too many big fish in the country during this period?"
"Before, there were red eels that were nearly four meters tall, huge catfish that weighed a hundred pounds, etc. Do you have a channel to collect big fish, Ah Guo?"
These people have been friends for decades. They know Wei Jiaguo very well and know that he used to watch other people show off their great stuff.
But in the second half of this year
That's not right, it should be November, and Wei Jiaguo can get one or two good products from time to time.
Especially the spotted rat that tasted it with tears. When they were in the fish tank, they were greedy for a long time.
They all say that fish should be kept alive and fresh, but this old man insisted on waiting until the fish was dead before taking it out, which was a waste of natural resources.
This person's reminder made the other two people react: "Yes, Ah Guo, do you know someone? How do you often get these good goods?"
"Just be jealous! I caught this fish in the morning. I had already caught more than a dozen mandarin fish, and when I was about to go to other fishing spots, this big mandarin fish suddenly popped up."
"The tail is so powerful, the water splashes up to three or four meters high when it is slapped."
"Hey, hey, you old man is bragging about not making drafts. This fish only weighs thirty kilograms at most. How can it be so strong? If you don't know, you might think you are talking about the blue whale!"
A group of old men gathered around, one bragging and the other making trouble. They were busy for a long time, waiting for the waiter to bring the fish to the kitchen, and then they walked into the box one by one.
After arriving at the box and the few people had just sat down, Wei Jiaguo casually took out the piece of soapstone: "Old man Shi, look at this!"
Old Man Shi was the one who hadn't spoken much before.
Unlike the other three fishermen, his hobby is just like his surname: he likes to play with rocks.
When he saw the bloodstone, his calm demeanor suddenly broke.
He quickly stood up from his seat and walked quickly to Wei Jiaguo. He carefully took the bloodstone and blocked the light with his hand, then took out a flashlight and a magnifying glass from his briefcase.
After some research, I heard him keep saying the words "excellent" and "good". It was obvious that the quality of this bloodstone was very high.
This piece of bloodstone has less white parts, and the red parts are very bright red. The combined texture is very natural and beautiful, and the old man named Shi can't put it down.
"Ah Guo, where did you get this bloodstone? Why don't you transfer it to me? I've been looking for a suitable bloodstone for the past few years and want to make a seal."
"It's just that the output of bloodstone is too small, and most of the best ones are owned."
"This pure and flawless single-color soapstone with suet-fat jelly is even more difficult to find. You must give it to me."
At that time, Wei Jiaguo also felt that the quality of this chicken blood stone was very good, but he never knew that it would be so good that his old friend would take the initiative to talk about it.
If it is really his own, then his old friends will talk about it, and he will naturally become a man of beauty.
It's a pity that the thing doesn't belong to him. Moreover, he had a purpose in taking out this piece of bloodstone.
"Don't even think about this piece of bloodstone. It belongs to a junior of mine. He wants to make a pair of jade pendants and a gold hairpin, so I specially brought it over to ask if you can make it well."
"Jade pendant and gold hairpin?" Shi Weiyuan was stunned after hearing this, and then his whole body trembled with anger, "What a waste, what a waste of natural resources! You actually used chicken blood stone to make a jade pendant?"
"Which junior of yours, call him over quickly and see if I don't break his legs!"
The corner of Wei Jiaguo's mouth twitched: "If you want this piece of chicken blood stone, then don't think about breaking someone's legs, but think about how to collect this stone!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you should call and ask quickly. I am willing to buy this chicken-blood stone at a high price." Shi Weiyuan's anger immediately dropped. After all, the chicken-blood stone is still intact, so this is not the time to be angry.
Wei Jiaguo took out his mobile phone and called Chu Mingcheng.
After the call was connected, he said: "Acheng, are you free now?"
"Yes, yes." Chu Mingcheng happened to be cutting fruit in the kitchen at this moment, but he avoided being heard by Jiang Luoluo, and he didn't need to avoid her to answer the phone.
"The quality of your soapstone is very good. I have a friend here who wants to buy it at a high price."
"Grandpa, I don't want to sell this. I haven't given any suitable gifts to Luo Luo. It's rare that I picked up a good quality stone, so I can give her a gift."
"You have to think clearly. This piece of chicken-blood stone may be worth several million after it is carved into a seal by the master's hands. Moreover, the chicken-blood stone is actually not suitable for wearing. It would be a waste of natural resources to make a jade pendant."
When Chu Mingcheng heard about millions, he was a little surprised. Didn't it say hundreds per gram? His piece didn't weigh much, so how could it be sold for millions just by carving it?
But of course he was happy that the thing was of high value, but he had already planned to give it a gift, and he had no intention of going back on it.
"Nowadays, whoever wears a jade pendant every day when they have nothing to do does not want to sell it for even millions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Mingcheng's heart moved and he thought of a good idea.
When Wei Jiaguo heard him say that he wouldn't sell it for millions, he had a look of relief on his face. Although people who value emotions can be silly sometimes, they can feel more at ease when they get in touch with him, right?
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events later on, causing the smile on his face to freeze immediately.
"What do you mean, you want to sell?"
"No, since the value is so high, is it okay to exchange it for jade pendants and hostas of similar value?"
Wei Jiaguo groaned for a moment. He did not expect Chu Mingcheng to react so quickly, which coincided with his own thoughts.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he suggested: "Actually, it would be better to change to white jade. It feels more suitable for you."
The best white jade, generally refers to Hetian jade, is produced in the Western Regions.
Of course, white jade raw stones also have grades.
Since the value of bloodstone is so high and it is not suitable to be worn as a jade pendant, why not just change it to a more suitable one?
Chu Mingcheng didn't know if he could exchange for that much. He didn't have a specific concept of the value of these. He just wanted to exchange for jade of similar value, but Wei Jiaguo proposed white jade.
Compared to green jade, he really prefers the milky white color.
Moreover, he had great trust in Wei Jiaguo, and he didn't know much about this aspect, so he simply agreed.
"It's alright. Grandpa, you can take care of it. You won't let me, a junior, suffer, right?"
"You kid."
Wei Jiaguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the smile on his face became softer. He was willing to believe that replacing him would be the best choice.
"Okay, then I'll be fine here. The plan you mentioned should be fine. I'll let you know when it's ready."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Based on his understanding of Shi Weiyuan, the possibility of the other party agreeing was very high.
The price of top-quality white jade is equally high, or even higher.
The price of these things still depends on whether you meet someone who likes it very much and is willing to pay a high price. There is no specific price, but by coincidence, Shi Weiyuan is short of a top-quality soapstone.
"My junior said that I can exchange for white jade. I want a pair of jade pendants and a white jade hairpin. I remember that you seem to have raw mutton-fat jade at home."
Shi Weiyuan still doesn't know that all this is a trick of his old friend. He didn't think much about it when he saw the chicken blood stone.
With a friend like him here, how could Wei Jiaguo not know that soapstone is not suitable for making jade pendants or the like.
But he knew that he had been looking for bloodstone, so he came here at night.
"Okay Ah Guo, it turns out you have been setting a trap for me for a long time!"
Wei Jiaguo did not deny it: "Just tell me whether you want to change it or not. If not, I will sell this piece of chicken blood stone and help buy a piece of white jade."
"Okay, of course!" Shi Weiyuan must have suffered a loss with a pair of carved jade pendants and a pure white jade hairpin, but he was indeed willing to do so.
After all, he had not found a chicken-blood stone that satisfied him after years of searching, but he had several pieces of raw mutton-fat jade at home.
All in all, everyone on both sides was happy.
Chu Mingcheng didn't expect such a good thing to happen. He wasn't really interested in the red blood on the bloodstone.
The main reason is that there are no more suitable raw materials, and I don’t have a clear understanding of the value of my piece of chicken blood stone, so I didn’t think of selling it first and then buying a piece of jade to carve into jewelry.
Now since someone is willing to exchange white jade and engrave it for free, then he is naturally willing.
