Coiling Dragon Chapter 7: Panlong ring (below)

(Call for a recommendation ticket ~~~)

Time passed, and the clock in the living room struck eleven, already was eleven o'clock at noon.

"Is Hogg in?" A clear voice sounded. There was no gatekeeper at the Baruch family mansion. Obviously, the guest already came to the mansion's front yard.

Hogg frowned, and put down the thick book in his hand: "Lin Lei, here it is today." Hogg then squeezed a smile and walked out of the living room.

"Oh, Hog, my dear friend, that morning I heard the cries of the cloth silk bird, and I knew that there would be a happy event, and surely I received your letter at noon and saw your letter , I ’m really happy. "

"Dear Philip, I am also very happy to see you. Hillman, you will bring me the prepared stone sculpture" Lion ". Philip, come, we will go to the living room first, immediately The stone sculpture will come over. "

Listening to the voice of the conversation, Lin Lei's heart was sore.

"Are you going to change things in the seller again?" lei knows that the stone sculpture "Lion" is a stone sculpture that his father likes very much, but the Baruch family who does not charge heavy taxes on "Wushan Town" is really economically very It's difficult.

Fortunately, the Baruch family is very old. Because it is old, there are many items with a long history.

Unfortunately, no amount of items can be sold for so many years. Today, there are very few already items in the family. Lei can't help looking at the clock in the living room: "I don't know when this clock will be sold."

I saw a middle-aged man with long blond hair and a noble temperament synchronized with Hogg into the living room. LIN Lei guessed that this middle-aged blond man should be the one 'Philip'.

"Oh, this cute boy is Hog your son." Philip smiled kindly, watching lei said, "lei and baruch, right? can i call you lei? "

"It's a pleasure, sir." Lin Lei put his left hand on his chest and bowed respectfully.

"What a lovely child." Philip seemed happy.

Hog on the side laughed: "Philip, don't make trouble with the child, you come to the stone sculpture" Lion "already." As I saw, Hillman relaxedly held it in his hands. A stone lion stepped into the living room, then gently placed the stone on the ground.

Hillman's stone sculpture is almost like a toy, which shows his strength.

"Mr. Hillman, I am amazed at your strength. I don't have such a powerful captain in your courtyard, even if I own the territory of twelve towns." Philip said with a smile, but the words implied The intention of the invitation Hillman is very obvious.

Hilman said indifferently: "Wushan Town is my hometown, sir."

"Sorry." Philip apologized immediately.

Philip turned to Hogg: "Hogg, you stone sculpture, although I like it very much, but I have to say that the carving technique of this stone sculpture" Lion "is not top-notch, let alone with those stone sculptures Masters compared. "

"Philip, if you don't want to buy it, forget it." Hogg was simply.

Philip's eyes narrowed and he laughed immediately: "Haha ... Hogg, don't get angry, I'm not saying I don't want to buy it, just tell a fact. So, how about this stone sculpture I bid 500 gold coins, how about ? "

"500 coins?" Hogg frowned.

This price is much lower than what Hogg thought. Hogg's price is 800 gold coins.

In the magnolia continent, 1 gold coin = 10 silver coin = 1000 copper coin. Ordinary civilians can get twenty or thirty gold coins a year. They are soldiers of the army, and a year's worth of military soldiers is 100 gold coins.

"The price is low." Hogg shook his head.

"Hogg you should also know that there are a lot of 10,000-year-old stone carvings on the entire Magnolia continent. The true value of stone carving is in its artistry. The artistic nature of your stone carving ... haha, it ’s just my heart. That's it. 500 gold is indeed my highest price. If you don't agree, it's fine. "

Philip smiled and turned to look at the clock in the living room, his eyes lit up, "Hogg, if you are willing to sell that clock, I would like to give out 1,000 gold coins."

Hog suddenly became cold.

"Oh, 2000 gold coins are fine. This is the highest price," Philip said quickly.

Hogg shook his head firmly and said, "This clock, don't sell it! As for this stone sculpture, 600 gold coins, take it if you want."

Philip watched Hogg for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, Hogg, I'll give you this face, 600 gold coins, butler, take 600 gold coins." The housekeeper who had been waiting outside the living room immediately took it. The gold coins ran over and delivered the gold coins.

Yellow pouches, six full bags.

"600 coins, Hogg, you can count." Philip said with a smile.

Hogg reached out and turned upside down. He confirmed only from the weight and volume. It was indeed six bags of gold coins, 100 bags per bag. Hogg nodded with a smile: "Philip, otherwise, stay with us Going to lunch? "

"No, I still have something to go back to," Philip said with a smile.

The old man of Philip's housekeeper arranged two strong fighters, and took the stone carving away with some hard work.

When Philip waited for a group of people to leave, Hogg looked at the six bags of gold coins in front of him, and there was a gloom in his eyes. Although there are a lot of things in the home, they will eventually be sold out.

"Father, I want to learn stone carving!" Lin Lei said suddenly.

Lin Lei is very clear. Throughout the magnolia continent, those famous masters of stone carving have at least tens of thousands of gold coins, and some well-known works even reach hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Not only in terms of money, but also in terms of status, those stone carving masters are extremely high.

"If I became a master of stone carving, then my father wouldn't have to change things in the seller." Lin Lei thought so.

"Stone carving?" Hogg said with a cold glance at lei.

"Lin Lei, do you know that there are hundreds of millions of people in the entire Sacred Alliance, at least millions of whom have learned stone carving. But in a Sacred Alliance, the true master of stone carving can also be counted with one hand. And in stone carving, without a good teacher, it is impossible to succeed on your own. "

"The circle of stone carvings is not accessible to ordinary people. You only see those pieces of stone carving masters worth tens of thousands of gold coins and even higher, but you know not, most stone carving craftsmen have a year's salary. Just dozens of gold coins. "

Hogg's tone is very harsh.

Lin Lei was also taken aback. He just said that the stone carving can improve the family situation. He didn't expect his father to say so much and his tone was so severe.

"Okay, Zongtang should be cleaned up. After lunch today, you will clean it." Hogg said coldly.

"Yes, father." lei replied respectfully.

Hogg looked at lei, but sighed in his heart: "Stone carving? Boy, do you know? I also studied stone carving for a full ten years. Unfortunately, my work is worthless." Hogg also once In an attempt to become a master in the stone carving industry, at least the family economy will greatly improve.

But he was helpless in his heart. After studying for ten years, the work was worthless. The circle of stone carving masters looks like a pyramid.

The famous masters of stone carving are at the top of the pyramid. They have status, and a piece of work is worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

And countless stone carving craftsmen are at the bottom of the pyramid. Their works are lowly and chilling, and ordinary people spend a few silver coins to buy them back for decoration.
