Chapter 436 Master An Yichen
The next morning, Mo'er drove Professor Du. There was a cloth bag on the passenger seat, which contained the top-quality dragon stone jadeite!
Professor Du knocked on the door of the small courtyard. After two minutes, there was no movement from inside. Professor Du continued to knock. The heavy wooden door made a banging sound that could be heard from far away. Mo'er said, "Teacher, is he not home?"
Professor Du said, "He is at home and just doesn't want others to bother him." Then he continued knocking.
After about ten minutes, a gloomy old man opened the wooden door. He looked at Professor Du and Li Moer and said, "Are you annoying? You keep knocking even though I won't open the door for you. Don't you know that's rude? Go, go, go, and do what you need to do!"
Professor Du didn't care. He pointed at the cloth bag in Mo'er's hand and said, "Are you really going to kick us out? Don't you want to know what kind of jade this piece is? If we leave, don't regret it. I tell you, this piece of jade is the best quality I've ever seen! If you miss it, I'm afraid you'll die with regrets."
The old man's name is Anyichen, a master of jade carving. His great-grandfather's generation has been the imperial jade carver. He himself has also mastered the superb carving skills since he was a child.
Every sculpture he had created since his youth was sold at a high price. Those who owned it were all very proud of owning a piece carved by An Yichen himself. It was a great honor to be in front of friends and family.
Old Man An curled his lips and said, "It's top-grade material. Why don't you say it's glass-type imperial green? It's such a big piece, at best it's icy. I'll regret it if you tell me. Go away, don't stand here and get in the way."
Professor Du sneered and said, "Although this piece of material is not glass-type imperial green, its value is no less than that of glass-type imperial green, and it is even rarer. It can be said that it is unlikely to appear in hundreds of years. I have explained it so bluntly, can't you guess what this material is?"
Old Man An was stunned after hearing this. He thought to himself, "It's not inferior to the glass-type imperial green. Could it be the legendary dragon stone jadeite? No way, how could they get such a rare material, and such a large piece at that?"
When Old Man An was fourteen, he had the good fortune to see a jade pendant with his grandfather from a royal descendant. He hadn't seen one since, decades later. His dream was to carve a piece of this exquisite jade himself.
He immediately moved aside to let Professor Du and Mo'er in. Professor Du walked into the courtyard with an arrogant look. Mo'er, holding a cloth bag, greeted Old Man An: "Hello, Master An, sorry to bother you." Old Man An just nodded.
Mo'er followed Professor Du to a room decorated in an antique style. When Old Man An entered the room, he couldn't wait to ask Mo'er to take out the material.
When he saw the material, his whole body began to tremble slightly with excitement.
Reaching out and caressing the jadeite, Old Man An fell into a long period of contemplation. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and said, "Girl, I have a request. Can I carve this piece of jadeite for you? Whether you want an ornament, a pendant, a bracelet, or a ring face, just tell me and I'll do it for you free of charge. Is that okay with you?"
