Evil Master and Disciple

One box contained raw stones that had not been carved, but most of them had been cut open, revealing the jade inside.

In another box, there are three exquisitely crafted jade Buddha statues.

Two white and one green, there are slight differences in size.

The shopkeeper glanced at Ye Feng and Guo Wei, and placed everything they needed on the table in front of them.

Ye Feng looked through the raw stones and said, "Boss, is this the most valuable jasper in your Baoyu Pavilion? What's the use of such a small piece? If foreigners see it, they'll think I can't afford it. Do you have a big one, as big as my head? If not, I'm leaving."

The shopkeeper hesitated and said, "Yes, there is, but the price..."

"You are also a businessman. Do you think I look like a poor person?"

"No, no, no, you are so noble, how could you be poor?"

"That's all, then. Bring out the biggest and best jade in your shop. If I like it, money won't be a problem."

"Got it."

The shopkeeper repacked several valuable pieces of jasper on the table, then walked to the stairs and called out, "Xiaofu, go to the backyard and get our treasured treasure."

Then the shopkeeper came over again, bowing and nodding, and said, "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Then he came to Guo Wei again.

He smiled and said, "Sir, what do you think of these three jade Buddha statues?"

Guo Wei examined the three jade Buddha statues in his hands. He did not answer but looked at Ye Feng beside him and said, "Sir, I can tell you are an expert in jade. Which one do you think is better?"

Ye Feng knew nothing about jade, so he glanced at Sanzhier.

Sanzhier understood and stared at the white jade Buddha that was about 40 centimeters tall.

Ye Feng doesn’t understand this stuff, but Sanzhier does.

Jade is spiritual, and Sanzhier's specialty is sniffing out spiritual energy.

Seeing San Zhier staring at the jade Buddha, Ye Feng said, "This white jade statue is made of high-quality jade and has fine craftsmanship. It can be considered a top-grade product."

The shopkeeper immediately said, "Young Master, you have a very good eye. We have over a hundred jade Buddhas in our shop, and this one is the king of all Buddhas."

Guo Wei nodded and said, "How much silver is this jade Buddha worth?"

The shopkeeper said, "Buddha doesn't talk about gold and silver, only about fate. Your guest's fate with this Buddha is the most important thing. Please give me the cost price, 16,000 taels of silver."

Guo Wei was about to pay when Ye Feng suddenly said, "It's so expensive, boss! You're really too mean. I think this jade Buddha is only worth two or three thousand taels of silver at most."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is already the price of fate, it really can't be lowered any lower."

Ye Feng said, "Big Brother, since you let me examine your Jade Buddha, you must trust me. Three thousand taels, don't pay a single copper more."

The shopkeeper said, "Sir, this puts our shop in a difficult position. It costs money to open a shop and do business. Add a little more, and a little more."

"No, not a single copper coin. Shopkeeper, this thing is worth three thousand taels. You've already made a fortune. I also run a shop. You can't be too greedy in business."

The shopkeeper naturally refused.

Just now he saw the man in blue about to take out the silver, but he was interrupted by this kid.

It could originally be sold for 16,000 taels, but now after this kid's manipulation, only 3,000 taels are left. Who can bear this?

The shopkeeper's life or death made Guo Wei add some more.

Guo Wei came here this time just to see his son, not to buy anything.

Since his beloved son had already asked for money, he naturally refused to add a penny.

While the bargaining was going on, two guys carried a locked wooden box up to the second floor.

The shopkeeper stopped bargaining and took out a key from his sleeve and unlocked the wooden box.

Inside were two pieces of raw jasper, one large and one small, wrapped in silk cloth.

These two pieces of jadeite raw stones are one piece and were cut apart by someone.

The jadeite inside is crystal clear and it is obviously a good thing at first glance.

Ye Feng immediately stood up and took out the large piece of jadeite from the box.

This large piece of rough stone is much larger than his head and weighs at least thirty kilograms.

He carefully examined the cut surface of the jade, the emerald green jade sparkling.

Seeing that Ye Feng seemed to be interested in this rough stone, the shopkeeper immediately said, "Sir, you have a good eye. This piece of jade is not simple. It was dug out from Tianshan Mountain and was purchased by our store at a high price more than 20 years ago.

The painting master, Mr. Wen Lianggong, had also seen this piece of jade before. He said that the imperial seal was made of the same material and he liked it very much.

It's just that the price was too high. He lived a clean life and was short of money, so he didn't buy it.

These two pieces of jasper have been stored in our shop for over twenty years, and it seems they will be mine today."

When Ye Feng heard the shopkeeper mention Wen Lianggong, he couldn't help but look up and said, "Is Mr. Wen really saying that this piece of jade is made of the same material as the imperial seal?"

The shopkeeper immediately said, "Of course. Even if I had the guts to do so, I wouldn't dare to take advantage of Saint Wen's reputation."

"If it's really made of the same material as the Imperial Seal, Mr. Wen really can't afford it. Name your price."

"Sir, do you want only one piece, or both?"

Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'll take both."

Since Wen Lianggong likes this piece of jade, Ye Feng doesn't mind buying a piece for him.

The shopkeeper held up a finger and gritted his teeth, saying, "One million taels, not a single copper less."

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Cut it yourself."

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I can sell the jade Buddha to this gentleman for three thousand taels, but I will not sell these two pieces of Tianshan Jasper for less than one million taels."

Ye Feng said: "Do you know how much one million taels is? Do you know how much the annual tax revenue of a wealthy state in our Daqian Dynasty is? One hundred thousand taels!

Do you think this piece of Tianshan Jasper is worth ten years of taxes from a wealthy state?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Young Master, you are right. These two pieces of Tianshan Jasper are indeed worth ten years of taxes for an entire state.

Sir, if you can't afford the money, then I can only express my regret."

The shopkeeper picked up the jadeite stone and prepared to put it into the box.

Ye Feng said: "Wait. One million taels is one million taels, I'll buy it."

The shopkeeper was stunned and asked, "Really?"

Guo Wei was also a little surprised and couldn't help but look at Ye Feng a few more times.

Ye Feng said: "I believe in Mr. Wen's judgment, I will buy it."

"Oh. How long will it take you to raise the money? I can give you a month. Is that enough?"

"No need, I'll pay the money now and take it away today."

"What? Sir...does he carry a million taels of silver with him?"

"Haha, didn't you say before that I didn't look like a poor person? I'm carrying millions of taels of silver while shopping. What's so strange about that?"
