"Mixed rice? What's so good about that? I eat it every day and I'm sick of it!”
"You don't know the hunger of a hungry man. I made instant noodles at night, okay?”
"I like to eat tomato scrambled egg rice. It's sour and sweet!”
"I can see that Dali Jie has moved the four famous horses. He wants to make braised chicken rice!”
"Could it be braised pork covered rice? A large piece of meat is really satisfying to eat!”
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xia Jie opened the fridge and took out a piece of pork tenderloin he bought yesterday. Then, he went to the vegetable garden and picked four to five green peppers, peeled a few slices of garlic, and cut a piece of ginger.
The shredded meat was cut into shreds, and he added some salt, sugar, cooking wine, and soy sauce. He mixed them and placed them aside.
The green peppers were washed clean, and the seeds were peeled off. Then, they were cut into thin strips one by one.
The stove was lit, and oil was poured into the pot. The green peppers were stir-fried for later use. Ginger and garlic slices were poured in and stir-fried. Then, the shredded meat was added and stir-fried...
In just a short while, a steaming plate of green pepper stir-fried shredded pork was completed.
"Although this is a simple home-cooked dish, to stir-fry it well, you have to make sure that the shredded meat is tender and flavorful, and the green peppers are crispy and not overcooked!”
"Yes, it's not bad. This is a dish that goes with rice. Eat, eat!”
As he spoke, Xia Jie poured the stir-fried green pepper and shredded pork into the rice bowl. A bowl of rice was ready.
"Boohoo! (Master, what happened to the big sausage?)"
Qiuqiu, who had been squatting at the side for a long time, could not help but bark.
"Haha, you glutton, a king among kings, take it!”
Xia Jie kept his word and took out a king of kings from the fridge and threw it over.
Qiuqiu immediately jumped up and caught it. Then, it tore open the packaging and wagged its tail as it ate.
"Alright, although it's very simple, it looks really delicious!”
"Don't say anything else. I'm eating green pepper and shredded pork rice now. The meat is so old!”
"Dali Jie is eating so well. It's even better than the 10 catties of Australian dragon I'm eating now!”
"That's right. Perhaps this is the happiness of ordinary people. I don't even want to eat bluefin tuna anymore. I'm tired of it!”
"Stop talking. I just poured out the two-headed abalone in my bowl. I want to order a bowl of rice too and experience the life of a grassroots!”
"Haha, in the past, there were a lot of talents in the chat room, and they were not afraid of blowing up when they bragged. Now, there are a lot of geniuses in the live broadcast room, and their bragging will blow up the sky!”
……
The rain outside had stopped!
After finishing his meal, he brewed a cup of tea and sat in the bamboo pavilion, enjoying the cool breeze and listening to the croaking of frogs in the distance. He felt especially calm.
Xia Jie took out his phone and uploaded the two videos that he had cut from the live broadcast to Pumpkin Platform.
After all, not only could they get a share of the advertisement, but they could also get a lucky draw when the number of views reached a certain level.
He couldn't get a blue one, so he didn't know what it was!
Xia Jie was really, really curious!
The theory that the unattainable would always be restless was true.
After sending the video, he checked his WeChat and saw that many viewers had added him.
Giant?
Wasn't he the tycoon who gifted six rockets today?
And a foreign collector?
Yes, let me pass.
At the dining table, David saw his WeChat light up and quickly picked it up to take a look.
The other party had approved the application!
"Hello, Mr. Xia, hello. My name is David, a British collector!”
David, who could be considered half a Huaxia expert, immediately sent a message.
"Oh, Mr. David, hello. Thank you for your support.”
Xia Jie replied politely.
After all, because of his gifts, it caused a small wave of gifts.
Today, 2,000 yuan was added to his account.
Of course, Xia Jie felt that tipping was up to fate. He didn't desire it, nor did he reject it.
It didn't matter if someone was supporting them or if they were rich!
"Mr. Xia, as a collector, I think your craftsmanship is excellent. The artwork you carve is very collectible. You are simply the Michelangelo of the root carving world!”
"I believe that as long as you can maintain this standard and make the materials more expensive, your work will definitely be qualified to enter the auction house.”
David did not hide his love for her, and his words of praise were like a torrential river that flowed endlessly.
"Hehe, Mr. David, sculpting is just my hobby. I haven't thought that far ahead yet.”
Xia Jie replied humbly.
Indeed, he had no intention of working in this industry. He had simply mastered the skill and turned it into a hobby.
Could it be that just because you know how to cook, you have to become a chef?
Just because you know how to make pottery, you have to be a pottery craftsman?
If he were to draw skills like acupuncture and massage, would he still be a technician?
"Alright, then let's get back to the main topic. I really like the 'fierce horse' you carved today. I wonder if you can part with it and give it to me?”
David said directly.
Err…
The other party's desire to buy was very strong!
Although he had never experienced it personally, Xia Jie had seen many online scams on the news!
There was a little girl selling tea who was full of kinship, a descendant of the Qin Emperor who had discovered a treasure, and a young woman from a wealthy family who was eager to have children...
These were all scammers who wanted to cheat money. He had never seen anyone cheat a root carving!
Moreover, the other party had even tipped him 3,000 yuan. He was quite sincere.
If he was really a foreign collector, then he could consider selling it!
Just like how Grandpa conquered foreigners with his carpentry skills, this could also be considered as letting the art of root carving spread to the whole world, right?
Thinking of this, Xia Jie replied," Mr. David, since you like this Wild Horse so much, I'm willing to transfer it to you. I hope you can let more foreign friends appreciate it.”
"Haha, that's great. Name your price!”
David grinned when he saw the reply.
Me?
I don't know how much this thing is worth either.
As the saying goes, gold has a price and jade is priceless. This Yabai root carving was almost the same!
The person he liked was willing to spend a lot of money, but the person he didn't like couldn't even be used as firewood!
"Mr. David, it's better for you to say it. As a collector, you should be able to give it the price it deserves!”
Xia Jie cleverly threw the question back to the other party.
After taking a sip of red wine, David thought for a moment and replied with a number," Fifty thousand!
Fifty thousand?
It seemed alright.
After all, this was the material that Zhu Da Yong had found. He had only processed it a little, but it could be sold for 50,000 yuan. This craftsmanship seemed to be quite profitable.
Xia Jie thought for a moment and was about to reply when the other party said again.
"Mr. Xia, it's British pounds!"
Ha!
Fifty thousand pounds?
Wait, let me check the exchange rate first.
1=8.66, which was indeed higher than USD!
That 50,000 pounds was 400,000 RMB!
It was really unexpected that this "fierce horse" could be sold for hundreds of thousands.
This price is very sincere. It doesn't look down on the traditional craftsmanship I inherited!
"Mr. David, this 'Wild Horse' belongs to you!" Xia Jie replied with a smile.”
"Okay, then it's settled. Send me your location, and I'll go over to trade in the next two days.”
David said contentedly.
Was 50,000 pounds expensive?
It was hard to say. It was hard to buy happiness with money!
"Alright, don't worry. I'll definitely wait for you!”
Xia Jie nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
