"Brother Lu, see when did I joke with you? I said that this piece of wood can collect the tuition fee. If you don't believe it, why don't we ask Mr. Zhao?"

"It's useless to ask. Can sand turn into gold?" Lu Shanling said disapprovingly.

However, as soon as this was done, Zhao Jinglei suddenly said something, which made Lu Shanling confused on the spot.

"Xiao Lu, you may have really gotten wrong this time. Xiao Nian is right. This thing is really worth the tuition fee for one year." Zhao Jingluo said, stretching out his hand, "Xiao Nian, take the treasure you received and give me a closer look."

"Yes, Mr. Zhao."

Ji Nian handed it over respectfully, Zhao Jingluo took it and weighed it. His expression of doubt had become more and more certain. He stared at the wood with his eyes tightly, flipped up and down and observed it, and from time to time he even came to his nose to smell it, looking very careful.

Almost a minute later, Zhao Jingluo nodded. He put the wooden strips on the table, turned his head and asked at Ji Nian with a smile: "Xiao Nian, tell me, are you going to sell this thing or collect it? If you collect it, I won't open my mouth. If you sell it, give it to me. I believe you know that I have no other hobbies besides identifying medicinal materials, so I like to mess with this kind of gadget."

After hearing this, Lu Shanling was completely stunned. What was the situation? The black wooden strip in front of him could actually catch the teacher's eyes?

"Old Zhao, if you like this, I'll give it to you." Ji Nian pushed the wooden stick forward and said sincerely.

"I don't want to give it to me. Since I said I wanted to collect it, I must buy it. It would be luck to come across such a good-quality wood. How could you give it to me for free? You are just a student now and there are too many places to need money. Can I still take advantage of you?" Zhao Jingluo couldn't put it down and took the wooden strips back into his hand, with the words "happiness" written on his face.

Lu Shanling hasn't seen his teacher like this for a long time. He wants to know what the secret of this and the wooden sticks can make him so excited, but he doesn't know how to speak. He scratched his ears and his forehead for a while, and his expression seemed a little anxious and impatient.

After seeing his apprentice doing this, Zhao Jingluo couldn't help but slam the table and laughed: "Xiao Nian, come and tell him what this thing is, otherwise he might be uncomfortable all the time."

"Yes, Mr. Zhao."

With sufficient information brought to you by magical hands, Ji Nian was full of confidence. He took the wooden strip from Zhao Jingluo and said loudly: "Old Zhao, I will help you to polish it now, or if you break the tree shell outside after you go back."

"Ah, why, you can break it?" Zhao Jingluo couldn't help but say in surprise.

"Sure." Ji Nian nodded, very sure.

"Okay, I believe you, let's break it." Zhao Jingluo knew that Ji Nian must have unknown secrets, otherwise how could he know so many medicinal materials at a young age? Since he wanted to perform, as a teacher, he would definitely not refuse.

Ji Nian walked to the shelf in the corner and took a sharp knife at will. After weighing it in his hand, he picked up the wooden strip. The scene that followed made Zhao Jingluo and Lu Shanling amazed. None of them thought that Ji Nian had such ability. The knife was like coming alive in his hand, flying up and down. Every time he swung it out, it fell on the outer shell of the wooden strip without hurting the wood inside.

After only a moment, the inconspicuous wooden strips had transformed. Against the backdrop of the black crumb-like bark, what appeared in front of the three people was a full of Venus Red Sandalwood.

It is about 30 cm long and about 10 cm in diameter. The whole yellow and orange strip of wood blooms with its most brilliant appearance as if it was reborn from the fire.

Lu Shanling's eyes were flashing with countless small stars, and they fell on the wooden strips with shock: "Is this the Venus Red Sandalwood?"

"That's right, Brother Lu really has a good eye. This is indeed the most orthodox old wild material. Although it is only a small piece, it is very valuable. I believe Brother Lu must have heard of it. There is a saying in the red sandalwood world called "Nine Nine-Water" that is that many red sandalwoods are hollow, and the hollow the more valuable the more it is. But the part in front of him is solid, and the solid is scarce enough. Moreover, it is a very good-quality full of Venus."

"On the market, if the rosewood bracelet is made of new materials, the quality of Venus can be sold for between 1,500 and 2,000 yuan. If the new materials are full of Venus, the price will definitely be a little more expensive than the new materials. New materials refer to artificial forests, and old materials refer to wild materials. Wild wood is far more popular than artificial forests in terms of appearance and quality, so if the old materials are full of Venus bracelets, it will be several thousand yuan larger, and if the most expensive ones are more than 10,000 yuan, it is definitely true."

"This is the first-class old material in front of me, which is full of Venus Rosewood. By volume, as long as the processing technology is solid, you can get about 30 flawless wooden beads. So I just said just now that I have to pay the tuition fee based on this wooden strip, which is not moisture at all. Mr. Zhao, you are an expert in this field, I just talk nonsense, and you can correct me if there is something wrong." After Ji Nian said that, he put the rosewood strips with true appearance on the table.

Lu Shanling looked at Ji Nian in a daze, and was a little stunned when he heard it.

"Xiao Nian, I didn't see it. Do you still understand the collection of red sandalwood?"

"I understand a little bit, I have learned some knowledge about this with my grandfather before." Ji Nian touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

With the reason for grandpa Ji Pingsheng, it can save Ji Nian a lot of unnecessary trouble to explain. This reason is very reliable. Ji Nian will not expose his hands secretly, and even if he says it rashly, will anyone believe it? It still has superpowers and energy. Should he be acting in a movie?

"Well, you said it well, I have no corrections. Xiaonian, you have a good vision. Even the market value of this wooden strip can be analyzed to a certain extent. You are right. If this wooden strip is a carved bracelet, you should get two strings of eighteen chains, but if the carving fee and other costs are added, it is not a loss to sell it for 10,000 yuan." Zhao Jingliu said with a smile.

"I don't want to carve and polish this wooden stick for the time being. I'll talk about it later. If it is carved out, Xiao Nian will give you a bunch of it."

"No, Mr. Zhao, why do I have the nerve to ask for it? If you always like it, just keep it." Ji Nian said quickly.

"The elder dares not refuse, why? You kid want to make me angry, right?" Zhao Jingluo couldn't help but raise his face and said.

"This... OK." Ji Nian shrugged helplessly, saying that you always say.

You said you would give me the money, and you said you would give me the bracelet. I, a junior, can't help you now, but I will remember it in my heart. If I can get something rewarded in the future, I will definitely not hesitate.

After Zhao Jingluo asked Ji Nian to tell the card number, he transferred 10,000 yuan on the spot, and then asked him to work hard. He couldn't put it down and went back to the house to play with it slowly. Such wild Venus Rose Sandalwood with first-class quality is really hard to find. It is only two words to meet: fate.

In the following time, Ji Nian stayed here to identify the medicinal materials sold. It was impossible to meet Qinglong Wood like the one just now. Although there were many medicinal materials collected, none of them could alarm the vitality of the palm.

"It seems that you are quite picky. Some of these medicinal herbs have been in their 80 or 90 years of age, and you haven't heard of them. Could it be that you only recognize them for a hundred years?"

With this idea, Ji Nian worked until after get off work in the afternoon. After handing over the job with Zhao Jingluo, he left Qihuang Pavilion with ease. If he came over again in the future, he would be half of Mr. Zhao, and no longer talk about part-time jobs.

Ji Nian rode his bicycle and went home directly. He said that he would invite Xia Wei and Hu Xi to dinner tonight, so he must be more particular. It is necessary to wash his face and change into cleaner clothes. He doesn't want to lose the faces of the two beautiful sisters at that time.

Dingling.

Just as Ji Nian was packing up and was about to go out, Xia Wei called, "Xiao Nian, we are at the Mao family we often go to. Come here quickly after get off work, let's order the dishes first."

"Okay, Sister Xiaowei, you guys order food. I've gotten off work and just got home to change my clothes. Now it's over." Ji Nian said with a smile.

"OK, wait for you."

Mao Family Small Stomach.

This small restaurant is located on a commercial street not far from Jing Shanghua. The store is not too large, it is of medium size, with two floors, and only a dozen tables in total, but the business is quite popular. If you come late, you can only sit on the side and wait in line.

Even if I queued up, there were still people coming over. There was no way, but the dishes in this restaurant were indeed good and the prices were very affordable. Unlike the surrounding hotels, there were always thick stacks of luxurious menus with a wide variety. There were only a simple one here, with cold dishes, stir-frying, cooking, cooking and soup dishes in total.

The fish-flavored shredded pork, hairy, boiled fish fillets, and lung slices of couples in Sichuan cuisine.

Chop pepper fish heads in Hunan cuisine, stir-fried pork with a pot.

White-cut Guifei chicken and hibiscus shrimp in Cantonese cuisine.

Big boiled dried shredded pork in Su cuisine, lion's head...

Unless you come here to experience all these things yourself, you will not be able to appreciate how delicious these dishes made by Maojia Xiaozhao are, and the prices are fair, so there are endless repeat customers here.

Therefore, whenever the two beautiful sisters are not at home, Ji Nian, who is too lazy to cook, will come to the teething ceremony, stir-fry two dishes and add a soup, and eat it so full.

When Ji Nian arrived at the store, Xia Wei and Hu Xi had already sat on the second floor and ordered delicious dishes. This was not the first time the three of them came here. After a few times, they all knew each other's taste and hobbies. They could start early after ordering. When Ji Nian just came in, before he had time to go upstairs, a surprise scream came from his ears.

"Xiao Nian, you finally showed up. I haven't come for several days. I thought you were missing."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged uncle, with short black hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome appearance, nearly 1.8 meters tall, and a professionally customized white chef's uniform. With the kind smile on his face, anyone who saw it would feel pleasing to the eye and comfortable.

I didn't see the female white-collar workers sitting on the first floor eating after he showed up. All their eyes shone brightly and their faces were showing a look of illusion. I really don't know whether they were here to have a meal or to see the handsome uncle, well, or both.

From this we can see that nowadays, the handsome man is the master of the ranks and the creamy young actor is behind.

The person who spoke was not someone else, but the boss and chef of the Mao family’s Xiaozhao, and occasionally the waiter: Mao’s monologue.

Hearing Boss Mao’s greeting, Ji Nian hurriedly walked forward with a smile.
