Chapter 40
It has turned completely dark, and Gaojiacun has entered a "non-still picture".
Oh, no, it's not completely still now. There are already villagers patrolling the city wall 24 hours a day. Under the dim light, two villagers are walking around the city wall in circles.
But this picture is boring enough that no one can stare at it forever.
At this time every day, Li Daoxuan can look away with peace of mind and return to his real life.
I was too lazy to turn on my computer and turned on my phone.
It just so happened that at this time, a message from Cai Xinzi came over: "Daoxuan, I talked with that customer for several hours, and we finally reached an agreement."
Li Daoxuan: "Yo? What's the result?"
Cai Xinzi: "The workmanship of our Supreme Treasure is excellent, but unfortunately, the character Supreme Treasure is not popular in that market. This thing is too 'toy' in nature, so it is not valuable. This customer
I bought it for 888 yuan just to give it as a face-to-face gift and to get online with us."
Li Daoxuan understood: "In other words, you can make money by changing the carving theme?"
Cai Xinzi: "Yes, the statues of Buddhist and Taoist gods are much more valuable than the Supreme Treasure. Only then can they get rid of the nature of 'toys' and truly become 'art'."
Li Daoxuanle: "I got a Supreme Treasure just for fun. I can also get statues of Buddhist and Taoist gods. How did he quote the price?"
Cai Xinzi: "The theme is normal and not a spoof. If the one-centimetre-high statue is as detailed as the Supreme Treasure, he can pay 4,888 yuan for it."
Li Daoxuan secretly said, "Hey, we can make two Hakka enclosed houses."
Cai Xinzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I will make you a model that is half a meter in size. It has tires, a motor and a remote control. It has more than 200 rooms and requires a lot of iron sheets and various materials, so I can only charge you 2,000.
A piece of wood, your one-centimetre piece of wood is actually selling for 4,888 yuan. I’m not convinced and I’m going to beat you up.”
Li Daoxuanle: "Hahahaha!"
Cai Xinzi: "The customer also made a very perverted request. Let's see if you can accept it."
Li Daoxuan: "Oh? Come and listen."
Cai Xinzi: "He also wants smaller products! Smaller than one centimeter, five millimeters...can you do it?"
Li Daoxuan: "..."
Cai Xinzi saw that he had typed a row of ellipses and thought he couldn't handle it: "Oh, it really can't be done? He is willing to pay 28,888 yuan for 5mm goods."
Li Daoxuan: "Why do you have so little confidence in me? You must have added him on WeChat, right? You can immediately ask him on WeChat whether 5mm is too big? I can make 1mm products here, but I'm afraid it's too small.
He couldn't see it clearly and refused to accept it."
Cai Xinzi: "Fuck!"
Li Daoxuan: "Speak politely and don't use bad words."
Cai Xinzi: "You can do it even with 1 millimeter? Isn't that smaller than a grain of rice?"
Li Daoxuan: "The master who helped me make the Supreme Treasure is a master of micro-carving rice grains. Anyway, 1 mm is not a problem for me. You can ask the customer if he wants it."
Cai Xinzi: "Wait a minute, I'll ask him."
Two minutes later, Cai Xinzi's message came over again: "If the 1mm product is half as fine as that of the Supreme Treasure, he can pay 128,888 yuan."
Li Daoxuan: "Okay, I'll take this order."
Cai Xinzi: "You are really crazy. You can handle such an order. I am a little impressed by you."
Li Daoxuan: "Hahaha, tell me, what kind of thing does he want to customize?"
Cai Xinzi: "The statue of the Supreme Lord."
Li Daoxuan: "What can a one millimeter statue of Taishang Laojun be used for?"
Cai Xinzi: "I was also curious, so I asked, and he said he wanted to use it to make a 'beaded holy statue'."
Li Daoxuan was very surprised: "What the hell is the holy statue in the pearl?"
Cai Xinzi replied: "Have you never seen it? Haha! Well, I haven't seen it either. I only found out after asking him. Have you heard of sandalwood Buddhist beads and Taoist beads? One by one, you can also
String them together and wear them on your hands."
Li Daoxuan: "I've heard of this."
Cai Xinzi replied: "The holy image in the beads is to hollow out the middle of the beads or Taoist beads, put a small picture of the gods and Buddhas in it, then fill it with a special liquid, and then seal the beads, leaving a
A small window allows you to look inside the bead. When you pick up a bead and squint one eye to peek inside the bead, you will see a Buddha image floating inside the bead. For believers, that is simply a miracle.
baby."
Li Daoxuan: "Fuck, it does sound a bit awesome."
Cai Xinzi: "But the average person's craftsmanship can only make a very simple picture and put it into the beads. With your micro-carving method, he can insert a lifelike statue, which is much more three-dimensional than a painting.
It will look more realistic, and the statue can even levitate and rotate in the liquid, which is not possible in pictures."
Li Daoxuan now completely understood that this thing seemed to be a bit bluffing.
Cai Xinzi: "I'm sure this guy took your miniature carving for 128,888 yuan, put it in a bead, and then turned around and dared to sell the bead for 300,000 a piece."
Li Dao
Cai Xinzi: "You can be open-minded as a person, but not as a businessman. I have to negotiate with him again."
Li Daoxuan: "Sure, how much you can talk about is all up to you. As long as I can get 115,000 yuan, anything more will be your commission."
Cai Xinzi: "Damn, you are really open-minded. If you were in ancient times, you must have been a hero who was willing to give away money. Just like the little whirlwind Chai Jin in "Water Margin" who gave money to everyone he met.
, it doesn’t matter whether others are of any use to you, it’s just giving you money anyway, and using it to make heroes from far and near respect you.”
Li Daoxuan thought to himself: Oh, you really got me right. I have been spending money on the little people for the past half month, and now the little people respect me very much.
Being generous and sparing money is not a derogatory term, so just accept it.

Time is ticking and ticking...
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
In recent days, the most popular people in Gaojia Village, besides Gao Yiye and Thirty-two, are the two new sculptors. Several consecutive statues were "enshrined" to Tianzun, which made the two of them obtain
Several big awards.
In addition to the first two large pieces of pork tenderloin, the two also got a lot of flour, rice, rapeseed oil, and a large pile of white lard.
These items are more useful than any gold, silver and jewelry during this drought year.
They used these things to exchange a lot of daily necessities with other villagers, and even hired several villagers from the same village to build two shacks for the two families during the rest time after building the Daoxuan Tianzun Temple.
The two sculptors became the first men to own a roof among the villagers who immigrated to Gaojia Village.
However, there was Zheng Daniu, who was as diligent as them and worked hard to cut wood every day, but he failed to make a fortune. Although he also received rewards, he only wanted Fat House Happy Water every time.
Although the thing tastes pleasant to drink, no villager is willing to exchange their limited items for it.
To put it simply...
If I can get it for free, then drink it happily. If I have to spend money to buy it, I will not drink it to the death.
Zheng Daniu was so happy that he didn't want to sell it. He drank it by himself. After finishing a basin, he went to get wood and drank another basin. He didn't care whether others were willing to fight for it or not. He just wanted to be happy.
