Volume 1 Emerging Edge 0108 Carving Dragons and Phoenixes
"Young man, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this seven-star grass is not an ordinary grass, but in fact, it is a more precious herb than ginseng, it has no price at all, and it acts exclusively on the kidneys, although it cannot completely cure uremia, but with some other medicinal materials, it can effectively inhibit the virus of uremia, so that patients no longer have to suffer from dialysis, and work and live like normal people, and can persist for a long time to wait for the kidney source. ”
A pharmacist standing next to the young man explained to him with some displeasure.
The young man was silent, his face was cloudy, and after knowing the effect of the Seven Star Grass, he had to admit that this broken grass was indeed worth the price.
But he was young and vigorous, and he was still a little unconvinced: "Even if this Seven Star Grass is worth a lot, it is only sold for 800,000 yuan, which is still far from 3 million." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around him looked at him with caring eyes, didn't they see those pharmacists enthusiastically handing over business cards around Ding Ning?
can take out a seven-star grass, who dares to say that he can't take out a second and third one......
The young man reacted immediately, his face flushed with shame, and he was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, especially when he peeked at the queen and found that people didn't bother to look at him at all, which made him extremely depressed.
Ding Ning didn't continue to take out the Seven Star Grass, he didn't have many things, only three, and he was still waiting to keep them for seeding.
He took out a fist-sized piece of white stuff that looked like a piece of lard, but with nine red markings on it, it looked extremely weird.
Ding Ning said with a smile: "Everyone, test everyone's eyesight, does anyone know what this thing is?"
"This looks like Tai Sui, but I've never seen a Tai Sui with nine red lines, what the hell is this?"
Everyone frowned, not knowing what it was, only Liu Lao was well-informed, judging from the shape, it looked like Tai Sui, but he couldn't be sure.
Ding Ning stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up, and praised sincerely: "Liu Lao is still well-informed, this is indeed Tai Sui, but it is not Tai Sui in the general sense, Li Shizhen recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": Meat is like meat. Attached to the boulder, the head and tail have, is a living thing, the red such as coral, the white such as fat, the black such as lacquer, the green such as green feathers, the yellow such as purple gold, all bright and penetrating like ice. It is also known as the meat Ganoderma lucidum, but few people know that Tai Sui also has a time limit, Tai Sui will have one more red markings every thousand years, the volume will become smaller, full of ten markings, it will become another medicinal material, called Banzai, this piece in my hand is more than 9,000 years less than 10,000 years old Tai Sui. ”
"How much does this cost?"
"Yes, Tai Sui is already very rare, how much is this 9,000-year-old Tai Sui worth?"
"Damn, little brother, we're afraid we can't afford this thing together. ”
...... The pharmacists were all excited, and they all gathered around to take a look, but after estimating their background, they suddenly lost their confidence and retreated.
First, they are not sure whether what Ding Ning said is true or false, so naturally they will not take the risk of buying this thing that they don't know; second, even if this Tai Sui is true, but the Tai Sui of 9,000 years, it is estimated that they can't afford to smash the pot and sell iron, let alone the 9,000 years of Tai Sui, even if a drop of resin in 9,000 years has become amber by now, it is an absolute antique, and the value is immeasurable.
Ding Ning said with a smile: "You guys think too much, I don't plan to sell this thing, I just confirm that once I lose the bet, I have the ability to fulfill the bet." ”
Finding Tai Sui in the rainforest was also Ding Ning's unexpected joy, except for the rare herbs in his herbal bag, except for the Seven Star Grass and Cuihui, the others were basically solitary, which were kept for seeding, and he was reluctant to sell them at all.
Originally, due to lack of money, he had no choice but to sell them, but since he found out that gambling stones could completely solve his current predicament, he did not plan to sell these herbs again.
Taking out the 9,000-year-old Tai Sui is just to prove his financial strength, divert his attention, and cut off the thoughts of others who want to buy herbs.
"That's nature, little brother, and I can vouch for you. ”
Liu Lao was the first to stand up in solidarity with Ding Ning, after all, he sold the Seven Star Grass, which can be regarded as a great favor owed to Ding Ning.
"Isn't it five million? Little brother, I can also guarantee you. ”
"A mere five million is nothing, I can also be a guarantee. ”
"Even if you gamble, if you lose the little brother's money and don't get together, just talk to your brother. ”
......
A group of wealthy pharmacists opened their mouths to guarantee him, and some even wished that Ding Ning would lose, then he would have to sell the herbs in the herb bag, which was really not good, and it would make a lot of money by cutting a small piece of Tai Sui, who was nine thousand years old.
The young man was a little weak-hearted, but when he thought about it, Ding Ning was just a seller of medicinal herbs, even if he knew a little carving, it was impossible to carve that piece of ice jade into two pendants, which was something that only a top jade carver could do.
The profession of jade carver is somewhat similar to that of traditional Chinese medicine, the older you are, the more experienced you are, and the more profound your knife skills, the more valuable your work is.
Ding Ning couldn't look more than twenty-five years old when he was full of calculations, how could such a young jade carver do it without any material and carve out two pendants.
Thinking of this, his confidence immediately became sufficient again, and he said with a cruel smile: "Since you have to send me money, then I will be polite, and I will trouble Liu Lao to be a witness and sign a gambling contract, so as not to admit that someone loses." ”
"Little brother, do you want to think about it again?"
Liu Lao asked Ding Ning with some worry, how can he say that Ding Ning is also half of his benefactor, and he naturally doesn't want to see him lose money.
"Old Liu, thank you for your kindness, please be a witness and draft a contract. ”
Ding Ning shook his head without hesitation, joking, he has been practicing knife skills since he was three years old, and he can carve on tofu with a big guillotine, and carving two jade pendants is nothing.
And he had already seen that piece of jadeite, and even thought about what to carve so that it would not be wasted at all.
Liu Lao shook his head helplessly, feeling that Ding Ning was too young and vigorous, but seeing his resolute attitude, he no longer persuaded him, because of gambling stones, gambling contracts are often signed here, and the contract text is ready-made.
The two took out their ID cards to sign a gambling contract, and Ding Ning knew that the young man's name was Xiang Bolong.
Xiang Bolong didn't ink, and reached out to hand him the jade, with a sure smile on his face.
"Old Liu, do you have a carving knife to lend me a use?"
Ding Ning asked politely.
"Yes, we have a jade carver in our auction house, and I'll borrow one for you. ”
Seeing that Ding Ning was confident, Liu Lao immediately asked someone to bring a set of carving knives over.
Ding Ning didn't hesitate, reached out and took the carving knife, and began to focus on carving.
Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at the carving knife as if it had come to life, without the help of power tools, a piece of jade in his hand was divided by two pieces in three times and five by two.
The queen's Gu Jing Wubo's eyes finally set off a wave, this sword skill is so strong.
Xiang Bolong's face was already gloomy, he never thought that Ding Ning would really be able to carve jade, and he was so skilled.
As soon as he thought of this piece of jade, it was very likely that he would no longer belong to him, although three or five million was nothing to him, but it was enough to make him feel painful.
After all, he didn't spend a lot of money gambling during this time, and most of the gambling brokes were broken, which made his finances a little tight.
Ding Ning didn't care about his mood, and concentrated on carving, and found that there was not much difference from stone carving, which made him more confident.
The reason why he wants to be in the limelight is that his queen complex is at work, he doesn't show his ability, where can he attract the queen's attention.
As time passed, the fine jade chips were sprinkled, Xiang Bolong's face became more and more ugly, and a pendant had been formed.
It was a spherical pendant with a lifelike phoenix carved on it, and when you look at it closely, it gives people the illusion that the phoenix spreads its wings and flies on its face.
Everyone circulated it one after another, marveling at its amazing skills, this carving skill is mellow and natural, and it is not inferior to the two famous top jade carvers.
There are antique dealers who are familiar with jade carving all year round fiddling with pendants, and even think that it is better than that carved by top jade carvers.
When the queen took the jade carving in her hand and observed it carefully, the phoenix that seemed to be born naturally moved her face slightly, and then looked at Ding Ning's eyes with a touch of brilliance.
The onlookers whispered, not stingy with praise, and looked at Ding Ning expectantly, wanting to see what the second pendant was.
Ding Ning's carving knife was waved in his hand, and he actually transformed into a debut remnant, and the jade powder continued to spill out, and finally, the second pendant was formed.
It was a crystal clear moon, and there was a dragon coiled on the moon with teeth and claws, and when it looked at the sun, the dragon seemed to come to life and soared in the moonlight.
On January 1, one yin and one yang, the end is a perfect combination, and the dragon and phoenix are auspicious.
"Little brother is good at knife skills, beautiful, just this carving skill makes these two pendants add a lot of color, I will give six million. ”
Zhang Fatzi couldn't put it down with the jade carving, and said excitedly, just this flawless carving skill is enough to sell this pair of pendants for an extra million.
"I'll pay 600,000 yuan, no matter how much Boss Zhang pays, I will add 100,000 yuan on his basis. ”
The queen's cold voice sounded, and the momentum of the imperative was undisguised, which showed her love for the pendant.
"Girl, let's not bring this, it's too embarrassing. ”
Zhang Fatzi was photographed by the queen's aura, and handed her the two pendants with a bitter face: "Since the girl is bound to win, I won't shout the price, so as not to say that I am raising the price, so I should make a good fate." ”
"Then thank you Boss Zhang for cutting love. ”
The queen was neither humble nor arrogant, nor was she grateful, and looked at Ding Ning lightly: "Give me the account number, and I will transfer it to you." ”
Ding Ning glanced at Xiang Bolong, who left angrily, and a playful smile appeared on his face: "Not for sale!"
"Not for sale?" The queen seemed to be shocked by this answer, and opened her mouth in amazement, and that cute appearance instantly made her queen fan lose a lot.
"yes, when did I say I was going to sell. ”
Ding Ning unceremoniously took the Yangfeng pendant from her hand, squeezed his eyes at her, and smiled very weirdly: "Don't sell it, just give it away, that dragon is given to you, I want this, let's have one for two people." ”
Everyone was in an uproar, revealing a touch of ambiguity that was so abrupt.
Some people looked at the queen with envy, and secretly sighed that the beauty is good, occupying an innate advantage, and someone will give it without spending money.
But looking at Ding Ning's eyes was even hotter, secretly guessing his identity, looking at his stall with no more than 300 yuan above and below, he was so generous, more than 3 million things were sent away, without a little hesitation, such a big hand, where can ordinary people do it, this must be which wealthy family pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and took money to pick up girls.
The queen's face changed slightly, and a chill came out of her body, permeating her body, making the people near her shiver involuntarily, and subconsciously kept a distance from her.
