What Ye Bufan was staring at was a gourd made of jade.
Judging from the carving, it was not considered a top quality work.
Wang Qinian watched Ye Bufan hold the jade gourd in his hands and looked at it carefully, and while looking at it, a happy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth from time to time.
"Master Ye, this is just an ordinary jade gourd, and the materials used to carve it are just scraps.
It shouldn't be considered a rare treasure."
Wang Qinian still shook off his doubts.
Ye Bufan did not answer Wang Qinian's criticism, but asked Wang Qinian: "Do you know the meaning of gourd?"
Wang Qinian was born in the jade business, so he was familiar with these things.
He cleared his throat and said: "Because gourds are homophonic to blessings, so people often use gourds to express blessings.
The vines with lush branches and leaves and many fruits and the gourds with many seeds represent "prosperity and prosperity for generations to come."
In fact, we have a lot of gourd pendants in our jade shop.
If you hadn't said that you wanted jade with some age, I would have taken out the jade gourds in my shop. " "Thank you for not using the one from your own shop, otherwise, you would have lost a peerless magic weapon out of thin air."
"Magical weapon" Wang Qinian looked at the jade gourd and asked Ye Bufan: "You said this humble jade gourd is a magical weapon?"
"That's right, jade gourds have been used as magical implements since ancient times.
Especially this kind of one that has been soaked with auspicious energy is definitely the best among the magical implements."
Ye Bufan took the gourd and looked at the sky again. , said: "There is an ancient poem saying that gourds are painted on the walls and beams.
Nine streams and three schools teach Kungfu.
Everyone living in the house has different skills.
There are many contacts between doctors and horoscopes.
In fact, the ancients have long known that gourds have the functions of bringing good luck, dispelling evil spirits and providing health care. ” Wang Qinian took the jade gourd from Ye Bufan's hand and looked around, but still didn't see anything strange.
He had to hand the jade gourd back to Ye Bufan's hand and asked: "Excuse my poor eyesight, I really can't see it."
What’s so strange about this gourd?”
"If I'm not wrong, this jade gourd must have been stolen from a tomb with excellent Feng Shui.
It's just a pity that the tomb is not old enough to transform this jade gourd into an excellent magical weapon."
Wang Qinian was startled and asked: "Master Ye means that this magical weapon has not yet been formed."
"Yes, this jade gourd can only be regarded as a semi-finished product."
"But you just said clearly that this is a peerless magic weapon."
Ye Bufan said: "It is a semi-finished product now, but when I make some changes later, it will become a peerless magical weapon."
"Master Ye is such a talented person that he actually knows the art of metal and stone carving."
"What's so difficult about this?
It's just a matter of drawing a few more lines.
You go and prepare some carving knives for me.
I'll use them later."
Yuyuanzhai may still be short of other things, but Ye Bufan wanted too many of these things.
In just a short while, someone delivered a complete set of carving tools to the yard.
Ye Bufan held a carving knife in one hand and raised the jade gourd high with the other hand, shining it into the sun.
Then he found the position and used the carving knife to carve a knife on the jade gourd.
He repeated this process dozens of times before finally When you're done, place the jade gourd and carving knife together.
"It's done."
Wang Qinian looked at the jade gourd and felt that Ye Bufan's knife skills were really unflattering.
Those crooked lines looked like earthworms crawling over them.
"I don't know what you are thinking about now, Master Ye."
"Bat, don't you see?"
Ye Bufan looked at Wang Qinian.
Wang Qinian carefully identified it and said, "It looks a bit like a bat."

Ye Bufan took the jade gourd back from Wang Qinian, admired his masterpiece again, and praised: "My craftsmanship is getting better and better, how about I become a professional carver in your shop?"
"This" Wang Qinian didn't know how to answer for a while.
"I'm teasing you."
Ye Bufan looked around and asked, "Where are those two white marble stones?"
"They are being raised in spring water.
Why don't you take them out for air first?"
"Keep raising it.
At noon, you can find a construction team to dig a well.
I will dig a well at your place."
Wang Qinian thought he didn't hear clearly, so he asked again to confirm: "Master Ye, did you just say you wanted to dig a well here?"
"Yeah, I think I made it very clear just now."
Wang Qingqing interjected and said: "Last year there was a severe drought, and several businesses next to us wanted to dig a well.
In the end, seven or eight wells were opened, and not even a drop of water was seen."
"That's because they didn't find the right location.
If I decide it, there will be no problem.
Uncle Wang, just go find it and I can definitely help you dig a well with water."
Having had the experience of looking for white marble stone before, Wang Qinian still had confidence in Ye Bufan, so he immediately agreed and asked the shop assistant to find the well digging team.
Ye Bufan picked up the jade gourd from the table again and shined it into the sun.
Suddenly he found something was wrong, so he picked up the carving knife and started carving again.
This time, Wang Qinian understood.
Bufan carved a moon and a sun on the left and right sides of the bat.
After carving these two patterns, Ye Bufan sighed and said, "It's such a pity.
It would be even more perfect if we could find that thing."
"what" Ye Bufan said: "This jade gourd was once placed together with a very powerful magic weapon.
As time went by, that magic weapon mapped its own shape onto the gourd."
"Could it be that the bat and sun and moon you just drew are the appearance of that thing?"
"It should be like this."
Ye Bufan sighed and said, "Not seeing such a powerful magic weapon is probably the biggest regret in my life.
I hope I can see it in my lifetime."
"How about I go find that person and ask, maybe that thing is still in his hand."
Wang Qinian felt a little impulsive after hearing what Ye Bufan said was so mysterious.
Ye Bufan smiled and said: "The magic weapon depends on fate.
Since it is not yours, there is no need to force it."
Everyone else had gone out to hang out, and Wang Qinian and Ye Bufan were the only ones left in the yard.
Perhaps because of their gossip, Wang Qinian actually asked Ye Bufan: "I heard that the girl from the Xu family is interested in you."
"I didn't expect you, Uncle Wang, to be such a gossip.
It was your Qingqing who told you, right?"
"Don't worry about who told me, I think that girl from the Xu family is pretty good and she's quite suitable for you."
Ye Bufan said: "I'm too small-minded and can't let go anymore."
"Oh, it turns out you already have someone in your heart, but you have to tell her girl, don't delay her."
After Ye Bufan said "hmm", he looked The teller who came to Yuyuanzhai came over with a letter: "Sir, I have a letter from you."
