Liu Tingting's face was really ugly, so after taking the white jade Yinglong sculpture from her, I hurriedly left the villa without saying anything.
It wasn't until I walked out of the villa that I recalled the last words Liu Tingting said.
Liu Tingting asked me not to let her keep things in the future, which made her unable to even leave the house.
This means that she may have stayed at home and not gone out much in the past month and a half.
This made me suddenly understand why she always left the sofa to watch TV and made a mess around the sofa.
I also understand why she always loses her temper like a little shrew. It turns out it’s all because of the white jade Yinglong sculpture.
Suddenly, I felt that I owed Liu Tingting a lot, and I immediately turned around and planned to go back and say thank you to Liu Tingting from the bottom of my heart.
But before my hand touched the door of the villa, I heard Liu Tingting's angry complaints coming from inside the villa.
"Damn you stinky Xie Dongzi, stinky gangster, stinky scoundrel, I hate you so much!"
"..."
Hearing this, I hesitated, and quickly retracted my outstretched hand. I thought to myself that it would be better to wait until Liu Tingting became more normal before saying thank you to her.
I rode my electric bike back to the antique store, and from a distance I saw a plump figure squatting in front of the antique store, smoking a cigarette.
"Damn it, Dongzi, where did you go so early in the morning? I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
"It's okay, I just went home and picked up some things."
"How about it? Have you found the person I asked you to find for me?"
I asked Fatty Wu anxiously, and Fatty Wu nodded and said that he was here just for this matter, and that he would take me to see the jade carving master.
"Great, then what are you waiting for? Let's go now!"
I parked the electric car hastily towards the door, stopped a taxi that happened to be coming, and pulled Fatty Wu into the car.
After getting into the taxi, Fatty Wu casually mentioned an address and the taxi left.
I didn't pay much attention at that time, I just looked at the street scene outside the car window and the people rushing to and from the two points and one line early in the morning.
After I got out of the car, I was stunned. I turned to look at Fatty Wu and said, "I said, Fatty, isn't this your shop? Why did you bring me here?"
"Hehehe, didn't you ask me to find a reliable expert for you? He's in this store!"
Fatty Wu said with a mysterious look.
I mentioned Fatty Wu’s shop before, so I won’t introduce it too much here. However, I still want to mention one thing. That is the pair of white marble lions in front of Fatty Wu’s shop. They are really beautiful. It's quite mighty and domineering.
The most important thing is that the pair of half-meter-tall lions are not fakes at all. They are at least products from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. I don’t know where they came from.
The name of Fatty Wu’s shop is Zhenbaozhai. Just hearing the name sounds very grand, but it sounds much nicer than my Dongzi’s antique shop.
This is not my first time to Zhenbaozhai. I have been here several times before, mostly at the door and never inside.
This time when I followed Fatty Wu in, I couldn't help but be shocked.
At first glance, I was dazzled by the dazzling variety. This gave people the urge to spend as soon as they came in. Even I couldn't help but spend three to five yuan to buy a blue and white porcelain to take home as a pawn. The vase is used.
There are many kinds of things in Zhenbaozhai, which look dazzling, but on the surface, there is not even one genuine product among a thousand.
It can't be said that they just sell fakes. In fact, there are real ones, but they are kept in secret places and sold exclusively to those who know their stuff.
"Old Wu, Dongzi is here!"
As soon as he entered the store, Fatty Wu spoke to a middle-aged man who was leisurely drinking tea.
I know that middle-aged man. He is Fatty Wu’s father. I don’t know his specific name, but people who are familiar with him call him Wu Yidao.
The two people were carved from the same mold. The only difference was that Fatty Wu's father, Wu Yidao, had a mustache, while Fatty Wu didn't.
"Hey, Dongzi is here, sit down quickly, I want to have a cup of tea."
Wu Yidao was very enthusiastic. He directly invited me to sit down and poured me a cup of tea himself.
Although I don't like drinking tea very much and I have no research on tea, this cup of tea is full of fragrance, which is definitely not comparable to those coarse teas on the market, so I conclude that the price of this tea must be quite expensive.
As soon as he sat down, Wu Yidao started chatting. He talked even more than Fatty Wu. He asked me how Mr. Liu Ba was doing recently, and then talked about my taking care of Fatty Wu. Finally, he simply mentioned When it came time to introduce his distant niece to me, I was really speechless to the extreme.
At this time, I squinted at Fatty Wu and glared hard. Fatty Wu finally recovered and coughed twice and said: "Old Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? When Dongzi comes this time, If something happens, didn’t I tell you everything?”
"Oh, look at my memory. When I see Dongzi, I feel like I'm seeing a relative. I actually forgot about the real thing."
Wu Yidao patted his forehead and showed an apology.
"Dongzi, have you brought the ingredients?"
Wu Yidao said to me with a smile.
I was a little confused when I heard this. Why did Fatty Wu tell his father about this? Also, he asked me for ingredients as soon as he opened his mouth. What did this mean? Could he be coveting my ingredients?
I frowned and hesitated. At this time, Fatty Wu seemed to see my doubts, and he put on a proud look and said to me: "Dongzi, didn't you say you wanted to find a carved jade man?" A master, Lao Wu is."
"Ah...this...?"
Seeing my disbelief, Wu Yidao looked at me with a smile, without any strange expression.
Fatty Wu on the side gasped and continued: "Do you know why everyone calls our old Wu Wu Yidao? That's because Old Wu has a superb carving skill. It's not an exaggeration to say that the fake ones are confused with the real ones. In this whole Tong City, ah no, in the entire land of Jiuzhou, if Old Wu dares to claim second place, no one dares to compete for first place!"
After Fatty Wu introduced him, I finally understood why Wu Yidao had such a nickname.
I always thought that being called Yida meant a profiteer with a sinister heart who killed people, so I didn't ask any more questions. Of course, Fatty Wu never mentioned him too much in front of me.
I knew that Wu Yidao was not an ordinary person. Not only did he know about the Sea Monkey, but he also taught Fatty Wu his obscene skills, but I didn't know that he was actually a master carver.
Having said that, I have nothing much to say, let alone reliability.
I nodded immediately, casually took out the palm-sized piece of Hetian jade seed material from my bag, and placed it in front of Wu Yidao.
As soon as he saw the piece of uncarved jade, Wu Yidao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly took the piece of jade in his hand and looked at it.
After listening to the sound, looking at the color, and measuring the temperature, Wu Yidao's face burst into laughter. He was so excited holding the piece of jade in his hands. He felt that the jade piece didn't belong to me at all. It's like it belongs to him.
"This material is great, ice type, rare ice type. Although the color is slightly flawed, such a large piece of material is really rare. It can be sold for hundreds of thousands at least. I wonder if you want to carve Dongzi?" What kind of object is it?”
"Uncle Wu, it's like this. I have a piece of Hetian jade, and I want you to imitate it for me."
"Okay, no problem, just take out the piece you mentioned!"
Wu Yidao stretched out his hand directly to me, but at this time I hesitated.
Seeing my hesitation, Wu Yidao seemed to understand something. He stood up hurriedly and called me to the back room of the store, and asked Fatty Wu to stay and help look after the store.
Fatty Wu was definitely not willing, but I had no choice but to say it, so there was no reason for him to disobey, so he could only agree reluctantly.
I followed Wu Yidao to the back room of the store, which was indeed very quiet.
"Okay, Dongzi, take it out. You are so cautious. Let me show you what kind of thing it is."
Wu Yidao couldn't wait to ask me to take out the things quickly.
I immediately took out the white jade Yinglong sculpture wrapped in the white handkerchief.
After lifting the handkerchief covering it, Wu Yidao carefully took the white jade Yinglong sculpture in his hand as if he had found a treasure.
