The next day, Lu Cheng spent most of the day sightseeing with his mother and sister. At three o'clock in the afternoon, he came to the carving shop alone.
Xiao Wan hurriedly came over and said: "Mr. Lu, two ring rings were ground out; I asked another shop to help make the bracelets. Three were sent first, and the ring openings were 53, 55 and 58. The total number of pieces of material was It can produce 9 bracelets, and the ring width is roughly between 52-62."
She carefully placed the rings and bracelets on the satin-covered table.
When Lu Cheng saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's so beautiful."
The bracelets come in three colors, namely white, green and purple. They are intertwined like clouds and mist, making it seem like you can enter a dreamland just by looking at them.
The surface of the ring is thick green and sunny, and the green color is dripping, as if it is condensed by fairy dew, or like a pool of autumn water.
Xiaowan smiled and said: "Master said that the auction price for a rare ring like this is no less than 8 million; the price of the bracelet is also more than 2 million."
Lu Cheng praised: "Okay, please help me pack it up. Send the rest to me after you finish it."
Xiaowan put the bracelet and ring face into exquisite boxes, and then put them in her handbag.
Lu Cheng took it and left happily.
The processing fee is not mentioned, because if you cut the whole stone, there will be bracelet core and leftover materials, which are also valuable.
Lu Cheng had previously promised the other party that he would only need a few bracelet cores and no scraps.
Don't underestimate the scraps. There are very few parts of a piece of jadeite that can be used for bracelets, and the most are scraps. As long as the texture of jade is good, no matter what shape it is, in the hands of a carver, it can turn decay into magic and become a beautiful work of art.
At six o'clock in the evening, board the plane.
Lu Cheng and three others were sitting in the second to last row.
Lu Cheng took out a bracelet and whispered, "Mom, try it."
Rao Yuqiu was surprised when he saw it. He lowered his voice and asked: "You really cut it out? How is this possible? You said you cut out jade before. I thought it was something worth hundreds of yuan. This bracelet is so beautiful, it should be Is it worth a lot of money?”
Lu Cheng said: "It doesn't matter how much it costs. Since it is made into a bracelet, someone must wear it."
"I won't wear it, for fear of having my hands chopped off."
"Where are the hand-chopping gangs? Mom, you've watched too many TV series."
"No, no, I can't wear it. It's too high-end. Your dad bought me one back then. It cost 500 yuan. It was very comfortable for me to wear."
"Then you put it away first. If you want to wear it, wear it. If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it."
"Yes, I'll keep it. Son, have you prepared some for Jiang Qiuyun?"
"Ready."
Rao Yuqiu was about to put the bracelet away when he suddenly heard a woman's voice from behind: "Sister, I like this bracelet very much, can you give it to me?"
Lu Cheng and Rao Yuqiu were both startled. When they looked back, they saw a beautiful woman in her thirties, with shoulder-length black hair, an oval face, red lips and delicate nose, and a voluptuous figure. At first glance, they seemed familiar to her.
Rao Yuqiu said: "I seem to have seen you somewhere. Are you from Daicheng?"
The woman said: "No, I have something to do in Daicheng. Sister, I like that bracelet. Can you let me take a look at it more?"
Rao Yuqiu hesitated: "This is the first time my son has given me such a good thing. I have to treasure it."
"It's such a pity that beautiful jade has not seen the light of day."
Lu Cheng suddenly asked: "Miss, what size bracelet do you wear?"
The woman replied: "56 circles."
Lu Cheng said: "That 58 is not suitable for you. If you wait a few days, I also have a bracelet with 56 circles. It is cut from the same stone and has about the same effect."
He didn't say that he had two bracelets with him, because he wasn't sure which one Jiang Qiuyun would be suitable to wear. Furthermore, he didn't even look at the cut jade stones, because he was worried that the store would give him the best one first and leave the other six. Just not necessarily that good.
The woman was very sorry and sighed: "I can't stay in Dai City for a few days. In that case, forget it."
At this time, Rao Yuqiu suddenly said: "I remembered, you are Zhang Yuehua!" As soon as the words came out, she quickly stopped, fearing to bring trouble to the other party.
Hearing this name, Lu Cheng had some impression. This person was a movie star. He was relatively famous six or seven years ago, but fell into silence in the past few years. The reason was that he injured his waist while filming and has not recovered yet. The entertainment company lost some money at that time, and this person had several good movies and made a lot of money before the accident, so she should be considered a rich woman.
Zhang Yuehua smiled and whispered: "I didn't expect that someone would recognize me."
Rao Yuqiu asked: "Are you in good health? Can you film again? I am your fan."
Zhang Yuehua said: "I have recovered a little, and I can do simple dramas."
"That's great! I felt familiar just now, but now that I think about it, I feel so happy that I can give you the bracelet!"
"Then can I take another look?"
"sure."
Rao Yuqiu handed over the box.
Zhang Yuehua took out the jade bracelet, admired it for a moment, and said: "A few years ago, I had a similar bracelet. Although the color is not as good-looking as this one, I liked it very much. Unfortunately, it was accidentally broken."
As the saying goes, gold is valuable but jade is priceless. Bracelets carry people's memories. People who like them will like them very much, and people who don't like them will naturally not care.
Zhang Yuehua fell in love with this bracelet at first sight because she received a similar bracelet as a gift from a young man before she debuted. Although the color and pattern were not as good as this one, it still accompanied her through several wonderful years. Time passed, and later, when she was becoming more and more famous, the young man disappeared and the bracelet was unfortunately broken.
To this day, she is still unmarried and wants to find the missing young man, but she has never seen him.
Seeing the jade bracelet, she seemed to see hope, so she couldn't help but speak.
Otherwise, why would she be talking to a stranger on the plane? Who knows if that bracelet is genuine?
She compared the bracelet on her wrist and felt that she could wear it, because as she grew older in the past few years, her wrists became slightly fuller, which was different from when she was a little girl.
She put the bracelet back into the box, handed it back to Rao Yuqiu, and said with a smile: "I want this bracelet, but I don't understand jade, so I can't bid. After I get off the plane, I can have a look with a friend, okay?"
Lu Cheng said, "Okay, make an appointment, preferably in the evening. My mother doesn't go out at night, so I'll go there on her behalf."
In his opinion, there are many more bracelets in the same batch. When the time comes to choose one for his mother, the one in front of him may not be the most suitable, because she wants to collect it without even trying it on.
He gave the other person his mobile phone number and did not try to ask for his contact information, because some entertainers are very sensitive and do not want to reveal their whereabouts.
Lu Cheng is a night owl. He is well-trained and full of energy. He doesn't need to sleep too much. As long as the other party is in Dai City, he can trade anywhere. He has skills and is not afraid of being bullied.
