Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 37: Fatty Cui's invitation

Views:

When Lin Luoran was worried about the house payment, Fatty Cui, who had a lot of money, was not doing very well recently. Wang Miao'e saw that he tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, and the two had quarreled several times over this.

Fatty Cui didn't want Wang Miao'e to know about his worries. Could he tell his wife that a martial arts master bent a steel bar in front of him and asked him to hand over some spiritual jade

This thing is too mysterious. Aura is something that comes from strange novels. How does he know where to find it? Fatty Cui was very worried. He was fat and cheap anyway, and he was afraid that those high-ranking hooligans would trouble Wang Miao'e. For this reason, he lost more than ten catties in less than half a month, and he was so envious of Wang Miao'e .

As for Lin Luoran, after much deliberation, he decided to cut the rough stone at Baojia's place first, and think of other ways if he didn't raise enough money.

She doesn't have tools for diagnosing stones at home, but Lin Luoran is not stupid.

First, I went to Liu’s cutting yard with the original stone, and cut off the outer skin of the stone, and it was almost solved. Anyway, it was a piece larger than the sea bowl, and the jade in the middle was not exposed, but it was for people. I couldn't recognize it as the stone that I bought for 500 yuan from Boss Zhang.

Ever since he got the breathing technique from Master Jia, this trace of a cultivator reminded Lin Luoran. She can no longer fill the jade material with spiritual energy. Who knows if anyone will be able to see that when others discover her mysterious beads, Lin Luoran will not be strong enough to protect herself in front of cultivators. . She still understands the reason for the crime of being pregnant with Bi, and it seems that she should be more low-key in her life.

The original stone was almost solved, so Lin Luoran called Fatty Cui.

Wang Miao'e also mentioned Lin Luoran's plan to buy Mr. Cui's house at home. At that time, Fatty Cui asked if he wanted to lend some money to Wang Miao'e. He still had a good impression of Lin Luoran.

Of course, as expected, Wang Miao'e spat on her face, "You treat my old lady as a beggar? Who wants your food!"

Fatty Cui had no choice but to step back in despair, rubbing his nose and not speaking.

Now when Lin Luoran called to sell jade materials, Fatty Cui came because he was recently threatened and urgently needed new jade materials, and secondly, he also wanted to take the opportunity to help Lin Luoran—he could bear his wife's temper, and There are not many people who are close to Wang Miao'e.

Lin Luoran heard Fatty Cui's excitement on the phone and didn't think much about it. He had been in contact with him a few times. Although Old Cui looked like a nouveau riche wearing a tacky gold chain all day long, he was actually not domineering at all. Instead, he laughed all day long. Yes, a very good fat man.

Fatty Cui's home is in an old villa area in R City, which is the first batch of rich people from R City and even the entire S Province, and it is a well-known rich area in the city.

After all, it is a high-end villa area. Although it has been so many years, it is well protected and often renovated. The whole community is not old. On the contrary, because of the age, the original greenery is now deeply rooted, with tall trees and French sycamore leaves. The bluestone path looks very European.

Wang Miao'e has something to do in the company, so there are only Fatty Cui and two nannies at home.

"Brother Cui, why are you alone at home and the child is in school?" Lin Luoran asked casually while watching Fatty Cui rubbing stones while standing in the basement.

Fatty Cui raised his head and sighed: "Sure enough, your sister Wang didn't tell you about this. It seems that she still cares a lot... We didn't have children because of our health."

Lin Luoran was stunned. Fatty Cui and Wang Miao'e were both in their forties, yet they had never had children. No wonder Sister Wang never talked about children like other women. It turned out that she didn't. She was too reckless. Fortunately, she didn't Sister Wang asked... Lin Luoran was still regretting it, but Fatty Cui himself didn't care too much:

"It's okay to have no children. According to my old Cui's idea, it's okay to adopt one to inherit the family business. Your sister Wang is in a hurry. She doesn't know how much medicine she took for this, but she ruined her body. You have the opportunity Persuade her, I really think it’s okay to adopt.”

So, Miss Wang's current figure and skin quality are due to taking too much medicine? Lin Luoran pondered, then the things he was going to give should be effective. Every woman loves beauty. Compared with motherhood, the brilliance of motherhood is greater, and it can even make Wang Miao'e pay the price of her own body appearance. However, there was an exclamation.

The skinless material that Fatty Cui held in his hand was brought by Lin Luoran. Because the material itself is small, it is impossible to cut it, so it can only be rubbed slowly. Of course, if it wasn't for Lin Luoran's firm belief that there was emerald in the stone, Fatty Cui wouldn't have believed that such a small stone could produce green.

The stone was rubbed halfway, and it seemed that it was about to rub the emerald. The nanny called upstairs, saying that there was a call from Fatty Cui.

Fatty Cui spit out dusty spit, cursed and went upstairs to answer the phone, while Lin Luoran stayed in the basement for the time being. After about ten minutes, Fatty Cui didn't come down. The nanny brought Lin Luoran a cup of scented tea. Lin Luoran knew that there was more to wait, so he simply looked at the basement.

This is the basement floor of Fatty Cui's villa. The two basements have been converted into studios. Fatty Cui and Wang Miao'e each have one room, specializing in the storage of high-grade materials and calcining stones.

It seems that Fatty Cui trusts himself very much. Jade fragments can be seen everywhere. If someone is really malicious, he may not be able to find out if he picks a high-end piece and takes it away. Fatty Cui left her here alone. Although there is surveillance, Didn't it mean that Fatty Cui acted generously.

There is a bowl-sized piece of jadeite on the workbench. It is a rare black jadeite, with some white and green, the three colors are intertwined, and the color bands are not clear. The carving tool was placed next to it, but the jade material was covered with a thick layer of dust. It is estimated that Fatty Cui has not yet considered how to use the knife.

Recently, Lin Luoran has become more and more familiar with jadeite, and loves it more and more. When he saw the raw material, he couldn't help but feel itchy. He was about to pick it up for a closer look, but Fatty Cui finally came back after answering the phone.

"Sister Lin likes that piece of material? I bought it and thought about it for a long time, but it's hard to cut it. How about I sell it to you for 800,000?"

Lin Luoran joked: "Brother Cui, don't pretend to be a profiteer in front of me. If you really want to sell it to me, you will regret it! What are you going to carve with this raw material?"

Fatty Cui smiled wryly: "The patterns in the jadeite industry are not the same after all. The color bands are too confusing. It's a pity that the material is different. I discussed it with several masters. The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove are the best... Unfortunately, I can't." Let the seven sages wear white clothes."

High-end jadeite is not like the ones sold in general shopping malls. What kind of jadeite Chinese cabbage is the most beautiful, and the most important thing is the artistic conception. Lin Luoran pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled: "I have an idea, maybe I can save your material, but if I make a mistake, just don't laugh at me."

Fatty Cui nodded repeatedly: "That's natural, that's natural."

Lin Luoran chuckled, "Brother Cui, think about where R City is, black, white and green are such a good color, how can you lose money!"

Where is City R? Fatty Cui is not a native of R City, but after all these years of living, he still knows R City very well. It has been known as a land of rich plains since ancient times. In the past two years, everyone has known it as a leisure capital. It is full of ginkgo and hibiscus. Hibiscus and ginkgo big bowl tea, the most famous —

Fatty Cui slapped his thigh: "Oh, I'm such a pig head!"

Seeing that Fatty Cui frowned regretfully, Lin Luoran quickly comforted him: "Brother Cui, you are a fan of the authorities. I just said it casually. I don't know if it will work."

Fatty Cui didn't worry anymore, he laughed loudly: "Why not? I'll find someone to carve Fatty into a panda to eat bamboo, and sell it exclusively to local wealthy landlords in City R. If I don't sell it for more than twice the price, I won't be named Cui!" "

The two chatted and laughed, Fatty Cui was about to rub the stone again, but Fatty Cui patted his head: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot the business again. Sister Lin, I heard from your sister Wang that you have recently taken a fancy to Mr. Jia's house. The house, waiting for money?"

There's nothing to hide from others, Lin Luoran didn't deny it, she pouted and said, "What old man Jia, that's my master!"

Fatty Cui laughed twice: "Sister, I just answered a call and said that there is a batch of good materials on the Myanmar border recently. Are you interested?"

Recently, Lin Luoran has become more and more familiar with the jade industry, but she is not like the novice who knew nothing about it. It takes hundreds of millions of years for jadeite to form underground, and there are only a handful of producing areas in the world. With the excessive production, the Myanmar government has already started to control it in recent years. The Burmese public offering is made by the government to gather rough jadeite for auction. , used to protect the price of jadeite.

"Now is not the time for public trading, over the border..." Lin Luoran was a little suspicious that Fatty Cui and the others were going to take a dark path, and asked softly.

Fatty Cui smiled wretchedly: "Of course it's not the way to go. People die for money, and birds die for food. If someone can pay, someone can break through the blockade and ship the wool out. How about it, sister Lin, come with us Take a walk?"

"Get rid of this rock first, I have to think about it..." After Lin Luoran finished speaking, he heard Fatty Cui howl—

"This, this... sister, you must go to Myanmar this time!"
