Treasure identifying Golden Eyes

0The owner laughed, "Of course it's not worth 5 million. If I didn't say 5 million, would you have stayed?"    

    

Yang Bo laughed, "That may not be so."    

    

"If I said three hundred thousand, would you still buy it?" the boss asked.    

    

"Of course, I will pay." Yang Bo said. If this piece of material was really 50% blood-red, it would be worth around three hundred thousand. However, Yang Bo could clearly see that this piece of material was at least 70% blood-red!    

    

The owner looked at Yang Bo in shock. He shook his head and smiled, "You dare to buy it now?"    

    

Yang Bo nodded, "Sure."    

    

Seeing that Yang Bo did not seem like he was joking, the owner sat up straighter and laughed: "I was just tired from carving at first and wanted to talk to someone. I didn't expect to meet such a self-confident young man."    

    

Yang Bo shook his head, "Do you want to make a bet?"    

    

"Young man, don't bet all day." The boss tried to change the topic. "How about we give it a try?"    

    

Yang Bo started laughing, "Alright! This boss is really interesting! "    

    

"My surname is Liu, and I am called Liu Yidao!" Boss Liu said.    

    

"Liu Yidao? It sounds a bit like a famous surgeon. " Yang Bo couldn't help but be curious.    

    

"I was in surgery before, but something happened and I changed. I didn't expect the carving technique to be good enough to survive." Liu Yidao said.    

    

Yang Bo laughed, then took out a cheque book from his bag, signed a cheque of three hundred thousand and handed it over.    

    

Liu Yidao looked at Yang Bo, "Indeed, I made a mistake. So you were this rich, if I had known earlier, I would have raised the price a little."    

    

He picked up the smaller piece of feather made from the chicken blood stone and looked towards Liu Yidao's carving knife again, "Why don't you teach me how to carve!"    

    

"Teaching you how to carve?" Liu Yidao looked over in shock, "Carving is not that simple, if you want to learn, I'm afraid you will need a lot of time."    

    

"It's fine. I just want to practice when I'm fine." Yang Bo said indifferently.    

    

Liu Yidao slightly hesitated, looked at Yang Bo, and said, "Alright, then come over if you have time!"    

    

Yang Bo was excited, "Alright, I will be learning how to carve from you next, is there anything you need to teach me?"    

    

"Have you learned how to carve before?" Liu Yidao asked.    

    

Yang Bo shook his head, "I've never come into contact with them before."    

    

"Hmm, alright then. You can go to the market and buy a few big radishes to practice for a while. I'll teach you then." With that said, Liu Yidao opened a drawer and took out a book to throw to Yang Bo.    

    

Yang Bo took it, and when he saw the title written on the book, "Inception of Sculpting", he could not help but ask: "Do you have an Instant Grimoire?"    

    

Liu Yidao stared at Yang Bo for a good while, and said respectfully: "Carving is a skill, and requires a long term of contact. If you are truly so anxious to achieve quick results, I still recommend that you stop learning."    

    

"No, no, it's just a joke." Yang Bo laughed.    

    

With that, he sat down at the side and started to read curiously. Liu Yidao did not stay idle and continued to carve.    

    

Liu Yidao's techniques were skilled, his control over the blade was precise and ruthless, the blade matched the blade, and with every slash, he would remove all the bits of wood, only now did Yang Bo realize that he was holding a small piece of Agarwood, and was grinding the Immersed Fragrance Buddha Statue.    

    

Soon, the Agarwood Buddha statue was out in the open. The Buddha statue looked full of energy, and Buddha Maitreya's face was full of smiles. His paunch was so big that it looked vivid and lifelike.    

    

Yang Bo was dumbstruck.    

    

What followed was Liu Yidao picking up a piece of sandpaper and carefully polishing it in one direction. He rubbed it with the sandpaper to take away the sawdust, making the wood carving's surface become smoother and softer.    

    

After a long while, Yang Bo finally noticed that someone had entered the shop. He turned around and saw a young woman standing at the side.    

    

Yang Bo did not mind, but Liu Yidao's end had already ended. He took a white cloth and wiped it once, then turned his head to look at the female air stewardess. He laughed: "Qing Qing is here, the Buddha statue has just been completed, what a coincidence."    

    

Qing Qing smiled. "Uncle Liu, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I just came to take a look."    

    

Liu Yidao laughed, "Alright, then go ahead and take a look!"    

    

Yang Bo looked towards Liu Yidao and asked him the question he wanted to ask.    

    

After asking two questions, Yang Bo seemed to understand something but he did not. He had never carved before and had never practiced before.    

    

Qing Qing stood at the side and looked at Yang Bo with contempt, then looked at Liu Yidao, "Uncle Liu, didn't you say you wouldn't accept disciples? What's the matter with him? "    

    

Liu Yidao looked at Yang Bo, "He's not my disciple, we're peers, so we can discuss problems together."    

    

"He is clearly a newbie who doesn't know anything. Uncle Liu, I have come so many times already. I have begged you so many times. Why don't you just accept me as your disciple and let me learn how to carve?" Qing Qing said.    

    

Yang Bo turned his body to look at her and saw her pretty face and clear eyes. It was hard to imagine how it would be for such a beauty to be covered in flying dandruff while he was carving.    

    

Liu Yidao advised: "Qing Qing, you are unsuitable. You have your own work to do now, and it's also a time of beauty and youth. If you have the time, go and date someone, and accompany your family.    

    

Qing Qing shook her head. "I just want to study carving. I have a foundation in art and can make time after work. In the future, I will definitely become a successful sculptor."    

    

Liu Yidao still advised: "Qing Qing, this is not appropriate, girls are really not suitable for this line of work."    

    

"Uncle Liu, you are a man who values his own daughter!" As Qing Qing said that, she turned around and picked up the Agarwood Sculpture that was placed on the table. She took out the envelope and placed it in front of Liu Yidao, then turned and pulled the box as she left.    

    

Yang Bo looked over in confusion. After she walked out, he asked: "Why would a girl want to learn to carve? Will her family agree? "    

    

"Her father is in the timber business. He's much younger than me. We've known each other for many years." Liu Yidao shook his head and laughed bitterly.    

    

"Timber business?" Yang Bo was surprised, "Could it be precious wood?"    

    

"Yes, she did make more precious wood. In the '90s, her father had a good eye. He had accumulated a batch of yellow rosewood. Even now, he still has dozens of cubes. He can be considered to have made a fortune." Liu Yidao explained.    

    

Yang Bo was very surprised. In the nineties, the price of the Pear Blossom Yellow Wood had already risen, but compared to the current price, it was pitifully low.    

    

"Does he have any good wood left?" Yang Bo asked.    

    

Liu Yidao shook his head, "It's also been half a year since I went to her warehouse, and it's been a long time since I've been there. If you have time, you can go take a look yourself."
