Chapter 501 Appreciating Stone
The head chef of the hotel owned by Mr. Chao is a cooking enthusiast. He has tasted the braised pork made by Miss Chao. He grabbed the little girl and dragged her to the kitchen to ask for advice. The beautiful women and old ladies of the Chao family He also ran to watch and waited until the guests arrived before going to the lobby to greet the guests.
But Xiao Le was not so lucky. He was caught and not allowed to leave. The chef in charge asked the little girl for advice on all the dishes at noon before he let her go. He dared to arrest the little girl to exchange cooking skills because of Chao His family members are all approachable and good hosts. If he is the kind of person with a strong sense of hierarchy, he will not be bored at all.
After Le Yun was liberated and returned to the hall, the hall was already full.
The Chao family tea party was expected to have about a hundred guests, but it turned out to be more than ninety people. Those who didn't come were all on business trips with important duties.
Some guests first went to the hall to drink tea and then went outside to have a lively discussion around the stone still covered with cloth, in order to get a good seat and take a look later.
Sliding back to the old lady of the Chao family, Le Yun drank two cups of tea first. Seeing that it was almost time, she went outside to see the young handsome young man from the Guwu family she had invited. The people she gave invitations to were recommended by Young Master Xuan and the handsome boy Professor Wan Qi. A family with good reviews.
The Guwu family has always kept a low profile, but that doesn't mean they avoid the world. They practice to be free-hearted, so they don't take the initiative to make friends with the powerful, and they are never afraid. When someone nods, they nod in response, neither warm nor indifferent.
When she saw the little Lolita from the Immortal Medicine Sect coming out, her eyes lit up. The little girl was wearing a long fu-colored gauze, a pleated princess skirt, a white spring cardigan and a short coat. The coat had a lace collar.
The simple clothes perfectly exposed the little girl's body curves, like a beautiful girl who stepped out of the two-dimensional world.
Yan Xing was inexplicably heartbroken, the little lolita was already sweet and cute, and if she wore clothes that showed off her figure, she would look like a little lamb in the eyes of perverts.
He didn't need to guess, but he knew that Mrs. Wang must have bought that set of clothes. Mrs. Wang wished she could dress up the little lolita as a little doll, and only Mrs. Wang could do such a thing.
After a quick look at the crowd, Yan Xing felt a little better when he saw a group of young people with bright eyes, admiring and amazed, but not lustful.
However, just as his heart settled down, the handsome boy from Tantai rushed out and rushed towards the little girl happily: "Little fairy, little fairy, you are getting more and more beautiful." The young man said: "...
" Let me go, when did Young Master Tantai learn to flatter someone with a glib tone?
Seeing the handsome boy flying over, Le Yun grinned with joy. When the handsome boy came over, her little claws stretched out and pinched his face: "You are getting more and more handsome, good boy. Let my sister pinch your face. The feeling is still the same." That's great."
The little girl was squeezing the face of the little boy who was only a little shorter. The scene was as hilarious as it could be. Mr. Zhou and others watched the show unkindly.
"Little fairy, can you stop pinching my face every time? I'm a boy, not a girl." Tantai Xunhuan, who had his face rubbed, wanted to run away but was reluctant to do so. He was extremely helpless.
"No, you are younger than me. I won't pinch you." Le Yun happily kneaded the dough. She was so happy to have a handsome boy pinch her face.
"Lele, you have spoiled the little handsome boy." The handsome boy's face was rubbed red by little Lele. The beautiful boy couldn't stand it and pulled his cute girl over.
Tantai Xun was rescued and ran back to the housekeeper's grandfather. He looked at the beautiful boy from the Chao family with shy eyes. No wonder the little fairy looked down on his brother. Her brother was really prettier than his brother.
The beautiful young man pulled the little girl over, and Young Master Huo and Young Master Chen walked forward to say hello to the immortal doctor.
"Little beauty, Chen Ji of the Chen family in Jiangnan, you are polite."
"Little beauty, Huo Jinghe of the Huo family in Hong Kong City, you are polite."
The two handsome young people clasped their fists and introduced themselves to their families.
"Nice to meet you." Le Yun cupped her fists and returned a salute: "There are many trivial matters at home, and I probably can't take care of everyone. Please feel free to relax and don't be restrained." "We won't be polite. Little beauty doesn't have to worry about us." "Little beauty
.
" , reveal some information, where is the best place for us to stand later?”
The young masters of the ancient martial arts family are free and easy and are already planning to seize the position.
"A wise man sees wisdom."
"In that case, I'll take a seat first."
"Master Ji, don't be busy, wait for us." Master
Ji, who has a hobby of gambling on stones, took action. Master Zhou and others also joined in the fun and ran over. They stood in a row under the tent umbrella and grabbed the territory first.
Mr. Ji and Mr. Tang had already taken a seat next to the Big Mac. When they saw the little girl and her friends coming over, their serious faces showed their kindness: "Little girl, please help me keep my share." ."
"Mr. Ji, can you use the back door?"
"Little girl, can you also open a back door for me?"
Mr. Li, Mr. Tang and Mr. Qian all asked for the back door. The stones the little girl bet on are all of high quality. If you don't go through the back door, You may not even be able to grab a hair.
"I am such a kind and upright person, how could I go through the back door? I promise that under the same conditions, Mr. Ji will be given priority." Le Yun raised her eyebrows with a smile. She is an upright and good child who will not go through the back door without any reason.
"I also apply for priority."
Mr. Qian and others responded quickly and immediately changed the words.
"You can have this."
"It's a deal."
Now the big guys in the jade industry were relieved. The little girl agreed to give priority. If there was a stone they liked, they would always get one.
Wang Dong and all the guests followed the host out of the hall. Hearing the pleasant conversation between Mr. Ji and others, they teased: "Those big businessmen are not kind, they actually ran to grab the priority." "While we were drinking
. Tea wants to seize the opportunity, but this is not possible. We also want a share of the pie." "
Yes, we can't beat them with our wealth. We can raise funds to compete, and then we will divide."
"Very good, very good."
"I don't ask for it . As long as you have a small piece of material that can be used to make accessories."
The friends Chao Erye invited were all collaborators or friends with hundreds of millions of dollars in status, and all of them expressed dissatisfaction.
"Don't worry, don't worry, this is a stone appreciation tea party, not an auction tea party." The guests were in high spirits, and Mrs. Chao slowly poured cold water on them.
"Ouch, wasn't my work in vain now?"
Ji Lao and others shook their heads and sighed, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
The stones are placed in a row on the lawn, and the tent umbrellas only cover the areas where the stones are, making it easier for others to appreciate them.
It’s already half past ten and it’s time to unveil.
Mr. Chao and Chao Yi, father and son, uncovered the gray velvet on the largest rough stone. The angular jade stone lay silently, attracting people's attention.
That stone was too heavy, and it was the only one that wasn't put on the shelf.
"Good guy, it's so big."
The guests who had long wanted to admire the Big Mac took out small flashlights, waiting to light them up when they could get closer.
Chao Er and Chao San removed the cloth covering the smaller stones, revealing a row of stones lined up on a shelf. The original stones were one next to another, not crowded together.
Under the opened curtain, there is still a place covered with a curtain, between the Big Mac and large and small rough stones.
"I think it would be better to take off the last piece of cloth later." After taking off the two pieces of cloth, Chao Sanjun deliberately titillated people.
"Director Chao/Secretary Chao/Minister Chao, you must be kind."
People who were aroused urged.
"Okay." Sanjun of the Chao family couldn't resist, untied the knots of cloth wrapping the wooden shelf, and opened the last curtain: "This is the final stone, please appreciate it." Everyone looked over and
saw The colors of red, green and blue are flashing. If you take a closer look, there are some extracted stones on the wooden board, including gold, green, blue, red, and combinations of colors. One of them is the largest, weighing several hundred kilograms, exposed Yellow light and green light.
"So beautiful!"
"What a beautiful color."
"Golden Fei?"
"Blood Beauty?"
"Is that imperial green?"
"Supreme yellow?"
As soon as all kinds of emeralds appeared, the guests immediately went crazy, and the stone betting experts even more excitedly gathered around the pile of emerald stones.
"Little beauty, can you give me those golden stones of yours?" Mr. Jiang quickly squeezed to the little girl's side and made a reservation first.
"Hey, young man, don't take it all to yourself. You're all gone alone. Where are we?" Ji Lao immediately protested: "Little girl, give me a piece. I'm not greedy. Just ask for a piece worth three to five kilograms."
" Mr. Ji also said that he is not greedy. If one person has to share three to five kilograms, how can we still have our share? Little girl, give it to me evenly. I can have a piece as big as my palm." Mr. Tang and others also hurriedly reported their numbers.
"You guys grab the Supreme Yellow. I want the biggest piece of gold and jade. Little girl, let me register first." Boss Li from Crown Jewels made an appointment calmly.
"How can you be so unkind? I want green jade, the kind that is ice-like, imperial green, right?" "
I want supreme yellow."
"How can people like you in these trenches still survive? Little girl, I'll make a reservation. That Big Mac of yours."
A group of people were admiring the stones excitedly. Le Yun rubbed the back of her head: "The stones I got back from my bet are going to be used to make medical bowls and basins. I haven't found the one I'm most satisfied with yet, so I'll leave these for now. , just use them if you can’t find them. I spent 32 million on my Big Mac, and the freight cost more than 2 million. If I want to resell the goods, I will only consider the price at least 12 times more.
” Betting more than 30 million on the Big Mac made the senior officials secretly take a deep breath. Miss Chao was so generous and she really dared to bet. They would never dare to do so. What's more important is that most of them are not that high. The net worth is not even three million, let alone tens of millions.
For Ji Lao and other people from the business community, thirty million is not much, and they didn't even blink an eye.
"Little girl, you have so many stones, you can't hide them all. At least
give them to us." "If you don't give them evenly, I can't leave."
People who light the stones such as the supreme yellow jade, golden jade and green jade can't put it down, touch this piece, touch that piece, and want every piece.
Ji Shao and others also used small flashlights to admire the stones. The little girl was a good stone gambler, so they had to do some research so that they could have a common topic in the future.
Political dignitaries like Minister He are laymen and they cannot resist the temptation to gain knowledge.
The guests gathered around both sides of the table, happily looking at the stones, and the scene was very lively.
