C6 Self-reliance
Although Zhang Xiaojian was apprehensive in his heart, he did not continue to disturb Qingcheng. Five hundred thousand was already not a small sum.
The scene was a bit chaotic. Many people were amazed to hear that a boisterous young man had come to visit, especially when they heard that a random stone had actually opened a green glass emerald.
Many people came here with the same goal in mind. If Zhang Xiaojian were to give them any pointers, they would be rich.
Even though Sixth Master was pained, after all, he had experienced too many storms, so his face couldn't be seen. He still wore the same calm smile.
"Congratulations. Which rock should I choose next? " Sixth Master asked.
Zhang Xiaojian was in a bit of a difficult situation. If Qingguo hadn't told him just now, how would he know that there was a piece of jade inside the rock that everyone looked down upon.
If he had to choose, wasn't he trying to drive the ducks into a fight? He really had no idea how to choose.
Zhang Xiaojian once again arrived in front of the jade stone that was revealed just now, and thoughtfully reached out and gently caressed it.
A strange feeling came from the stone. It was as if he had met a girl he had thought of for a long time. His heart felt numb, and he felt like he had been electrocuted.
Zhang Xiaojian was startled, and thought, could this be telepathy?
It was said that everything in the world had a spirit, and the jade was even more so. Could it be that he could communicate with the jade?
He remembered that when he was in university, it was the birthday of the girl he had a crush on. He had helped the merchant post an advertisement, saved up for nearly a month, collected a thousand yuan, and bought a bracelet in the jewelry store. The boss said it was extravagant, but in the end, it became a joke at the birthday party because the bracelet was also sold by the roadside and was worth thirty yuan.
If he was born with a telepathic perception towards the jade, he wouldn't have been fooled that time. But what was going on now?
Zhang Xiaojian suddenly remembered that he had drank the water from the Five Elements Golden Tripod. Could it be that it was because of the water that he was able to communicate with the jade?
"Little brother, what are you thinking about?" Sixth Master's voice sounded again, looks like Sixth Master was panicking.
Although there were a lot of people, they were all watching Zhang Xiaojian pick a rock. No one dared to make a move, which affected Sixth Master's business, so the Sixth Master hoped that Zhang Xiaojian could quickly scram after he finished his selection.
Zhang Xiaojian laughed and said: "I choose now."
Stone by stone, that feeling of being unable to be found.
Zhang Xiaojian felt a little anxious in his heart, but he also felt a little embarrassed. With so many people looking at him like he was a god, if he was unable to be selected, he would definitely be laughed at to death.
This was the thirteenth stone Zhang Xiaojian was touching. A kind of soft and weak feeling of electricity caused Zhang Xiaojian to slightly frown, because he was unable to determine if there was something inside.
Zhang Xiaojian felt his body was exhausted, but he didn't know the reason.
"That's him." Zhang Xiaojian said.
It was a piece of ore that looked relatively smooth with a layer of green on it.
This kind of ore was exactly the same as the one Qingguo had said before about nothing. Sixth Master frowned because if he had picked this one himself, he definitely wouldn't choose this one because the ore looked green on the surface, so the probability of having something was usually not high.
"There shouldn't be any on this piece." The person who spoke was the person who spent 100,000 yuan to buy water.
Zhang Xiaojian laughed, his heart was as calm as still water, he understood one principle, which was that a man's desire could never be satisfied, there was always a chance to have it, if he did not, there was always a chance, but if he was satisfied with 500 thousand, he would never have a good result.
"That's him." Zhang Xiaojian said.
Because the ore was smaller, Master did not use a machine. Instead, he used an old method to cut it open.
Everyone held their breath like they did for the first time.
It opened. It was not a glass jadeite inside, but several levels of ice.
Even though it was like that, Zhang Xiaojian was still very satisfied. After all, this was enough for his father to be the first farmer in the family for more than 10 years.
"One hundred thousand." Someone made a bid.
"Can you make me two bracelets?" Zhang Xiaojian asked.
"I'm afraid two is not enough. We can only make one. But the rest can be made into two pendants. " The Sixth Master said.
"How long will it take?" Zhang Xiaojian asked.
"At least two days." The Sixth Master said.
"How do I charge the wages?" Zhang Xiaojian asked.
"A famous master is worth ten thousand, an ordinary master is worth five thousand." The Sixth Master said.
"Find a good master for me. Make him a bracelet, a pendant, and a pendant. How about the wages?" Zhang Xiaojian asked.
"That won't be necessary. How about this, if you can give me that pendant, then I'll give you another twenty thousand yuan." The Sixth Master said.
Zhang Xiaojian nodded.
"There's still one more. Do you want to start?" Sixth Master asked.
Zhang Xiaojian waved his hand. On one hand, he felt that he had overused his stamina and energy to make this choice of his, probably because he did not want to be too greedy. There was a saying that, as a human, you should leave something behind so that we can meet again in the future.
"Sixth Master, two pieces of jade is enough. I will leave now. You said that you wanted some water, so I left some for you. It can be considered fate for us." Zhang Xiaojian said.
Sixth Master never thought that Zhang Xiaojian would take the initiative to give him water, and he was so happy that he almost jumped up and rushed into his office with Zhang Xiaojian in tow.
Zhang Xiaojian was shocked. In this day and age, real wood furniture was already very extravagant, not to mention red wood furniture.
"Smoke." The Sixth Master passed him a box of Supreme Nanjing.
Zhang Xiaojian was elated, he usually only smoked 2: 50 pouches, but even so, he still had to save himself the trouble of smoking, because his bro Wang Wei always stole his cigarettes, and wanted to strangle him to death.
Zhang Xiaojian took a deep breath and said, "Sixth Master, do you have a Bodhisattva Guanyin invited to your house?"
Zhang Xiaojian asked even though he knew the answer, because when he was passing by the corridor, he saw Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva that was being worshipped in a room.
"I'm going over to pay my respects." Zhang Xiaojian said.
On one hand, Zhang Xiaojian didn't want the Sixth Master to see where the water came from. On the other hand, he really wanted to pay respects to the Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
Sixth Master followed behind Zhang Xiaojian. Zhang Xiaojian turned his head to look at him and smiled, saying, "I want to communicate with Bodhisattva."
Sixth Master looked as if he had seen a ghost. He gaped, then laughed and said: "Understood, understood."
Zhang Xiaojian finished bowing to the Bodhisattva, and poured himself a cup of water. When he went in, Zhang Xiaojian gently called out twice, but there was no reaction, so he didn't know how it was.
