The crow skin Tian Huang Yuan stone from Yu Linglong's house in the magical capital has been escorted to Kyoto by the eagle, and the expert Huang Lao who appraises jadeite has also come with it.
After eating, Li Mo and Liu Yingying drove out of the community, met Yingying and the others at the agreed place and drove towards the East Third Ring Road.
"Yingying, you have passed the driving license test. I will buy you a car so that you can go to distant places more conveniently."
"I have bought a second-hand car, which cost more than 30,000 yuan, and it drives quite well. Besides, I can't spend your money. I am now working part-time as a tutor outside with my roommates, and the income is not bad. .”
"I don't object to working part-time, but you must go in and out with your roommates."
"Don't worry, we work part-time at a training institution, and we work during the day or on weekends. There are no arrangements for other times."
Li Mo said nothing more, drove for about forty minutes, turned into an alley, and stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard.
"Hello, Mr. Huang."
"I eat, drink, and play every day, and everything is fine. Li Mo, I heard that you discovered a Neolithic cultural site over there in Yunshan, and also unearthed the largest gem-quality peridot in the world. Is this true? real?"
"It seems that nothing can be hidden from you. There really is such a stone. It will be placed in the Yunshan Cultural Heritage Museum and displayed to the outside world as a national treasure."
Mr. Huang immediately patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely follow you. Who is this?"
Li Mo quickly introduced: "Liu Yingying, my master's daughter."
She turned out to be the daughter of a great treasure appraiser. Mr. Huang smiled at her and said, "Hello, Miss Liu, I have admired your father for a long time. It's really hard to imagine that a disciple like Li Mo is so good." What a great father."
"Hello, Mr. Huang, as the saying goes, a person is better than an expert. My father's level is not very good. The main reason is that Xiao Mo is eager to learn and make progress. If we really want to talk about treasure appraisal skills, Xiao Mo can throw my dad ten blocks away. .”
Mr. Huang had a very good impression of Liu Yingying. The child spoke properly and was not complacent because of his father's ability. Instead, he always thought that it was Li Mo's own hard work and progress that made him what he is now.
At this time, the door of the courtyard opened, and a man in his fifties walked out. He saw Mr. Huang and said hello: "Senior brother, Master was talking about you just now. These are Master's distinguished guests. Please come in, please come in quickly. "
"Li Mo, this is my junior brother Yu Gongming."
"Hello, Master Yu."
Li Mo heard from his teacher that several of Chen Xinghai's apprentices had created a reputation in the sculpture world, so it was not an exaggeration to call him Master Yu.
"Mr. Li, you're welcome. I can't bear the name of a master, please."
Eagle held a wooden box with the crow-skin Tianhuang Yuan stone inside. He followed Li Mo into the courtyard. The yard is not big, with three rooms. There is a tree in the corner of the yard, and there is a chicken coop under the tree with three chickens.
"Mr. Li, please sit down. My master just went out to buy something a few minutes ago and will be back soon." Yu Gongming asked everyone to take a seat and then started to make tea. For them, entertaining guests and making a pot of good tea is the way to go.
"Xiao Huang, are you here?"
Before the tea was brewed, someone shouted loudly outside.
Mr. Huang stood up and walked out. At the door, he saw an old man about seventy years old walking straight in. He was carrying a few packages of snacks in one hand and a brand new water bottle in the other.
"Master, I just arrived."
"Sit down, is this Professor Zhu's student Li Mo?"
Master Chen Xinghai is thin and has gray hair, but his voice is powerful and his hands are obviously thick with calluses.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
"Haha, if you don't come, I will rush to Beijing University to find you. Lao Zhu said that you have a piece of Tianhuang rough stone in your hand. To be honest, I have carved two Tianhuang seals, which are only about the size of a thumb. But Lao Zhu Zhu said the one in your hand is quite big and it makes me feel itchy all the time."
"Are you going to trouble Mr. Chen just after the New Year?"
"What does trouble mean? I just want it. It's so hard to find top-quality carving raw materials now." Gu Jun
Master Chen Xinghai asked everyone to sit down, then looked at the wooden box on the coffee table, pointed at it and asked, "Is that inside?"
Li Mo nodded with a smile and reached out to open the wooden box. A stone the size of a basketball with a gray surface appeared in front of everyone, but there was an exposed yellow stone heart that attracted more attention.
Chen Xinghai came forward, gently caressed the stone flesh with his hand, and said after a long time: "Good stuff, really top-notch good stuff. It's so big, I'm afraid it weighs about ten kilograms. Xiao Mo, what are you going to do with it?" Is this crow skin field yellow rough stone broken down into small pieces, or is it made into a complete ornament?"
"Mr. Chen, let me tell you my thoughts first. I want to make this piece of crow skin field yellow rough stone a decoration, and it may be permanently displayed in the museum in the future."
"Is there a theme?"
"Yes, it's something I've thought of a long time ago. It's called 'Reunion'." Li Mo took out a photo from his bag, which was the yellowed family photo hanging on the wall of Shi's hometown, and handed it to Chen Xinghai The master said, "This is a family of four that lived more than forty years ago."
Then he took out four photos and placed them on the coffee table one by one: "This is a family of four more than forty years later. Mr. Chen, can you carve two sides?"
"Xiao Mo, isn't this a photo of your mother?" Liu Yingying said in surprise, "Could it be?"
She covered her mouth, as if she didn't dare to speak.
"Keep it secret first."
Liu Yingying nodded.
Master Chen Xinghai didn't ask any more questions. He pondered the Crow Skin Field Yellow rough stone for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Judging from the size, there is no problem. I used the thin wing carving technique to reduce the loss of the rough stone as much as possible."
"Mr. Chen, how long will it take to complete the project?"
"One month is enough, but you have also seen that I am getting older and may need the help of my apprentice."
Li Mo stood up and bowed respectfully to him, then took out a red envelope from his bag and handed it to Mr. Chen with both hands and said, "Please don't refuse."
"Li Mo, I can't charge you for this work. You know, if such a large crow-skin field yellowstone is made into an ornament and placed in a museum, it will be a good thing for me to be passed down through the ages. It's not too late for me to thank you. Why?" I can charge you for your work.”
"Mr. Chen, if you don't accept it, then I will have to leave here with the Crow Skin Field Huang Yuan Stone."
Li Mo said firmly.
"Master, just accept it. This is Li Mo's wish." Mr. Huang said from the side.
Master Chen Xinghai was already half-finished. Li Mo received guidance from Professor Zhu Changping and knew that if Master Chen could get Master Chen to take action, the value of the Crow Skin Field Yellowstone could at least double.
Stones are valuable, but magical skills are priceless.
"Okay, Yu Yu, you take it first."
Yu Gongming took the red envelope and knew that it contained a check.
"Li Mo, you sit down, and I will talk about the process next. I will complete the carving of this Tianhuang rough stone at your home, and you can take care of the food and drink."
Master Chen Xinghai is telling him that this Crow Skin Tian Huang Yuan Stone will never leave your sight, or the sight of your close friends, at any time. This is a guarantee for his peace of mind. After all, the current value of this raw stone is probably 50 to 60 million, and it can easily be worth over 100 million after being carved into an ornament.
"Mr. Chen, I follow your arrangements."
Next, everyone was chatting, talking about Xiang Yu's treasure and the Yunshan Cultural Site, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the courtyard.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mo and the others said goodbye and left. After he left, Master Chen Xinghai had to say with emotion: "The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared."
"Master, the labor fee paid by Li Mo is too high, it's actually three million."
Yu Gongming took out the check in the red envelope and was surprised. He helped someone carve a seal or something, and the labor cost was only ten thousand or twenty thousand. The teacher usually charged about five times more. In his memory, the teacher was the most expensive. The one-time labor fee is 300,000 yuan. Darling, that Li Mo is a very particular person who pays three million in labor fees as soon as he makes a move.
