The weather has been particularly abnormal in the past two days in Qingtong Lane. The weather forecast has always been cloudy. In fact, heavy rains and lightning are pouring in, and it is just early autumn when thunder and hail are rushing up. Lu Xiaoqi looked out the window and shook his head for no reason:

"Heaven Court has paid a salary? Everyone is so diligent!"

He couldn't care who was here to survive the tribulation. He was worried when he looked at the only three or two sets of dry clothes left in the closet.

There was a row of clothes drying in the second floor room and it was not dry yet. If this continues, his underwear would be gone. Su Lai once taught him a way to quickly dry wet clothes: put the clothes in a plastic bag, then stuff the hair dryer into the plastic bag and keep blowing, and the clothes will soon dry.

The idea is really great, if he has a hair dryer.

When he was unemployed, he had to take the key of the Ferrari and ride his bicycle to a nightclub in the distance. But these days, the sky was like a hole in the sky. With such heavy rain, riding over it turned into a chicken that was not handsome.

Lu Xiaoqi was thinking about whether to go to credit a poncho. The new phone in his pocket just started ringing. Lu Xiaoqi was surprised that he didn't plan to use this phone, and he had never given a number, except Su Lai Shi.

As soon as he answered, it was indeed the sound of a stone. She must be eating skewers in her mouth, and she was so spicy that she was vaguely giving him good news: It's time to go!

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoqi chuckled. His poor cousin joined his rich cousin, just like attending a class reunion after work. Although Lao Hou was calm and did not show off his wealth, he was embarrassed to be too cold with Huang Fu Zhuyu in front of him. He must have done his best to entertain Su Laishi's cousin these days. This made Su Laishi's cousin unhappy and pushed all the work to himself. This was done in the past, so it would be nice to not stop him.

It's good to do work on rainy days.

According to the phone number Su Lai Shi gave him, the number showed that it was also Henan. The man called himself Zhong Qi, and he spoke slowly and concisely. He sounded like a cultural person, and he meant to ask him to help make a piece of jade, which must be purely handmade.

"Oh?" Lu Xiaoqi was full of doubts, thinking that although he and Su Lai knew how to carve, they were not specialized in this way. They were all in the entry-level and just saw it. Nowadays, CNC technology is powerful. Many jade carving factories use CNC manual repair to do their work, which is economical and efficient. His craftsmanship may not be as good as semi-artistic. Besides, if you have to have pure handcraftsmanship with exquisite craftsmanship, it is not difficult to make appointments with the master-level carving masters who have won numerous awards outside, especially in Nanyang, Henan, where many good jade carvings are priced.

Could it be that Zhong Qi wants the horse to run and the horse to not eat grass, and he refuses to pay for the technology?

The price was quoted on the other end of the phone: "After the matter is done, we will pay 5,000 yuan."

Lu Xiaoqi smiled. Five thousand yuan is not bad. Nowadays, CNC machine carving semi-handmade starts at 200 yuan, pure handicrafts starts at 1,000 yuan, master craftsmanship starts at 3,000 yuan, this person gives 5,000 yuan. If he just makes a small jade pendant, it is definitely a beauty. But now Su Lai is probably because he has too much meat and looks at Lao Hou's oil and water, he can't catch up with this job.

Lu Xiaoqi called out a question in his heart, asking him why he wanted to stay away from him and did not look for masters from Nanyang.

The other end explained gently: "I am an old acquaintance of Lao Hou. A little brother around him recommended you to me. I have also inquired about your colleagues. They all say that Mr. Lu is not an ordinary businessman and is very knowledgeable."

This sentence came to a sudden end. Lu Xiaoqi stopped asking questions, but asked him to send the pattern to himself to see if he could do it.

Soon a multi-message was sent. Lu Xiaoqi looked at it and found that it was a professional and meticulous pencil drawing with all the dimensions. But isn’t this the most ordinary dragon and phoenix pendant?

A round jade pendant is made into a Tai Chi style, with a dragon on the left and a phoenix on the right. It can be divided into two pieces or placed together. This is a style that emerged in the Later Han Dynasty. It is often used as a token of love between nobles and a wedding decoration.

Lu Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, and confirmed that it was not a new worker in old jade, but a genuine ancient jade style.

Even so, imitating antique techniques is not difficult. When doing it, be cautious and not rushing to achieve success. It is not very difficult.

Lu Xiaoqi immediately replied: "I answered this order, and it is guaranteed to be tight, but this is not a piece of jade but two pieces. I don't charge double it. 8,000 is always required. You can provide the materials and pay the wage first. This is the industry rule."

There hesitated for a moment, and while agreeing to him, he made a request, paying half of the wages first, and paying half of the wages after they are done. Lu Xiaoqi agreed and thought that it would not be too late to go to Luoyang to do business after they have done this jade.

Soon, the jade material was sent over. Lu Xiaoqi took the hand and looked at it, making it even more strange.

The white jade materials with flowing mountains and flowing waters are like jade materials from Tiemu County, white but not moist, fine but not greasy.

Zhong Qi spent 8,000 yuan just to carve a piece of ordinary white jade worth seven or eight hundred yuan? Why did he do such a stupid thing that is unpredictable?

unless……

Lu Xiaoqi shook his head, and he didn't care about it. He just kept doing it and sent it back, collecting the money and paying the debts happily, so that he could show his true nature as a god of wealth.

He closed the door and worked hard, from measuring to drawing to linear cutting, to rough carving and refining, polishing and polishing, except for borrowing tools, he did everything himself. It took two days to complete the task.

After sending the picture, the other party checked it and said nothing. He just asked him to send it quickly and would give it money as long as he received it.

Lu Xiaoqi sent an expedited document without delay. Finally, when the logistics company showed that the other party had signed for it, he quickly collected the other half of the work payment. However, Zhong Qi said slowly: "It's okay to do it, but the money can't be paid for the time being."

When Lu Xiaoqi heard this tone, he was furious. This naked liar tricked your grandfather and immediately threatened him: "The jade circle is also about making money. It doesn't matter to you, Master Dan, I'm afraid you won't be able to make a living in the future!"

When Zhong Qi heard that he was anxious, he said helplessly for a while: "Mr. Lu is afraid that he has misunderstood. He has to pay the money, but he is afraid that he will have to wait until the problem is solved before he can get the funds."

Lu Xiaoqi suddenly realized: "You have made this jade more than once, have you?"

The other side of the phone was so excited that his tone became quick: "Mr. Lu, how do you know? It seems that I'm looking for the right person!"

Lu Xiaoqi said calmly: "Let the car pick me up, I'll go and have a look. If the problem is solved, you have to give the money!"

Without waiting for the other party to respond, Lu Xiaoqi hung up the phone and snorted in his nose: "The person who can rely on my account has not been born yet!"

If the other party was even more anxious than Lu Xiaoqi, less than half an hour after hanging up the phone, a business car parked at the door of Shanyushi's family. Lu Xiaoqi's eyes were sharp-eyed and noticed that the pass in the car was from the local Archaeology and Research Institute. It seemed that it was a vehicle that used relationships to second it, and the other party had a background.

After shaking for a long time, Lu Xiaoqi was woken up in his sleep. His stomach was slowly pressed by a familiar voice. It was Zhong Qi's voice. He folded his hands in front of him and looked at the sleepy and furious Lu Xiaoqi with a smile.

Lu Xiaoqi tilted his head and looked at it, confirming that the polite 50-year-old man standing in front of him was Zhong Qi, who was lying to the debt. His expression told Lu Xiaoqi a message: He was tricked by this old man, and he would make a mistake for 4,000 yuan...

He poured out mineral water and wiped his face. He jumped out of the car in an unstoppable posture, almost slipping.

After staggering and holding the car door, Lu Xiaoqi realized that he had arrived at a remote construction site, muddy.

He immediately put his heart away when he was about to quarrel with someone. He noticed a corner of the construction site surrounded by Zhong Qi and laughed.

This is obviously a real estate project that has just begun construction, but the boss was in trouble. He dug up a shovel and dug out an ancient tomb. He was discovered without having time to bury it back secretly and stopped work completely. If the protective archaeological excavation is not completed, the construction site will have to move and pay for the most.

Zhong Qi invited him into the shed. Lu Xiaoqi saw the table full of dragon and phoenix pendants, including wood, gold and silver, and jade. They were all exquisitely crafted. If it weren't for the different materials, they could not tell which piece was made by him at once.

"I knew that what you wanted was not jade, but key." Lu Xiaoqi stared at the table of Longfeng Pearl and nodded in admiration.

He had also taken such a order before. The other party had a tomb robber and a plan to transfer the bag. He would have a clear idea and never made it clear. This time, it seemed to be an open and honest purpose.

Zhong Qi showed joy on his face, and several experts discussed it and decided to take Lu Xiaoqi to the tomb to see.

A group of people surrounded him, and Zhong Qi slowly explained the situation to him. It turned out that where he was now Miaozhuang in Henan, the edge of a small town on the easternmost part of the town. Although Lu Xiaoqi never robbed tombs, he had some understanding of the tomb system. Looking around, the tomb was old and the surface buildings were no longer there. The tomb was simple, the tomb door was tall, the inner bricks were built, and there were main rooms and side rooms in front, middle and back. It was a royal tomb.

A history of Henan and half of Chinese history, you can dig it up to the royal tomb and the ox.

When entering the main room, there were many terracotta figurines around, and there were carvings on the wall. Lu Xiaoqi vaguely saw that they were drinking, dancing swords, marrying, and passing away. According to regulations, the owner of this tomb must be a prince. If it were carved on the wall, he was a talented man who died young.

A huge sarcophagus, about four times the size of an ordinary coffin, stopped in the middle of the main tomb chamber, declaring the status of the lord.

Zhong Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I can't lift it, I can't pry it open. I don't dare to cut it if I have a mechanism."

Lu Xiaoqi began to feel good about Zhong Qi. This man spoke gently and was polite, but he didn't say a word of nonsense. He was angry with him.

Half-to-do and half-to-person, Lu Xiaoqi wants to help him.

He pointed to the top of the coffin: "That jade pendant pattern, did you rub it from here?"

There is no need to answer this question. Lu Xiaoqi has confirmed that the coffin is indeed equipped with a mechanism, and the sunken pattern is exactly the style of a dragon and phoenix. The researchers of the archaeological team are not wine bags, but they have already thought of this. They have searched for people to make so many dragons and phoenixes just to find a key that can open the coffin. The key must be tightly tidy, no error is possible, otherwise the slightest mistake will be a thousand miles away.

Obviously this method did not succeed. They were already wondering if they were thinking the wrong direction. They found Lu Xiaoqi the last time, but found that Lu Xiaoqi was more interesting than others. Please come and study it. Maybe another village is bright and bright.

"The money used to make keys is not enough, so I dare not embezzle other funds without authorization. If Mr. Lu can help this, he will naturally have the money!"

Lu Xiaoqi approached and looked at the pattern, slowly spread his palms, and touched it.
Chapter completed!
