This small town was very lively and unique. There were shops selling handicrafts everywhere.
Because it was located at the edge of the East Sea, the crystal jade here was very famous.
After Ye Fan walked around for a while, he stopped in front of a jade shop.
This jade shop was not small. There were large and small pieces of jade and crystal that had been cut open in front of the door.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Fan walked in.
"Sir, what would you like to order?" The shop owner saw that there was business and immediately welcomed him.
Ye Fan did not speak. He looked around at the handicrafts on the counter.
"Look around. We are a famous jade and crystal workshop. Jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade ornaments, East Sea crystals, you can have everything." When the shop owner saw that Ye Fan was wearing a beautiful Japanese white robe and a mask, he thought that he was a rich Japanese businessman who came here to sightsee. He did not dare to neglect him.
"Can you make a mask?" Ye Fan asked as he came to a piece of jade and bent down to look at it.
This piece of jade was half a foot square. It was pure white and was placed in the most conspicuous place in the shop.
Next to the jade was a crystal that was half a foot in size. The crystal was red and dazzling.
One was red and one was white. It was beautiful.
Obviously, this piece of jade and the crystal were the treasures of this shop.
"Jade … Jade mask?" The shop owner asked doubtfully. He had been in the jade and crystal business for so many years. This was the first time that someone wanted to use jade to make a mask.
"Use these two pieces of jade to make three masks for me," Ye Fan said as he touched the jade. "Two jade masks and one crystal mask."
The mask he was wearing now was only a paper mask. It would not be long before it broke. Rather than that, it would be better to change to a mask that could be worn for a long time.
He saw that these two pieces of jade were warm to the touch and had a fine texture. He had the idea of making a jade mask.
He thought about it. He would use the white jade to make a couple's mask. He would wear one and leave the other for his beloved wife.
He was going to let Akatsuki wear the crystal mask. Her eyes were too similar to his beloved wife's. Every time he saw those eyes, he would feel uncomfortable. With this mask as a cover, he would feel better.
"Use these two pieces of jade? Make masks? "The shop owner asked in surprise. These two pieces of seed material were the treasures of his store. They were of high quality and were extremely rare. Many people had taken a fancy to these two pieces of seed material. However, when they heard the price, they all stopped bidding. And now, this Japanese man was asking for two pieces!
What made him even more surprised was that such a good seed material could be used for anything else. Why did it have to be made into a mask? How many raw materials would be wasted!
Such a large seed material was usually used to decorate the Longevity Mountain or to carve a Buddha statue to worship. No matter what, it was better than making a mask!
The shop owner cursed Ye Fan for being a fool in his heart.
"What? You can't? "Seeing the shop owner's shocked expression, Ye Fan turned around and asked.
"Sir, you may not know much about these two materials," the shop owner explained to Ye Fan with a smile. "When carving jade, one usually carves according to the shape of the jade. That way, the seed material can be preserved to the greatest extent. Like this piece of white jade," the shop owner pointed at the piece of white jade and said, "This piece of jade is square and is best used to make seals."
Ye Fan nodded.
"Look at this crystal," the shop owner said as he pointed at the crystal again. "This crystal is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It is flawless and is most suitable for carving a Buddha statue to worship at home."
Ye Fan nodded again.
"How is it? Sir, have you changed your mind? "the shop owner asked with a smile. Since he was the shop owner, he was naturally a person who loved jade. He felt that it was a pity to waste such a good material.
"You're right," Ye Fan said to the shop owner. "But I want to make a mask. Can you make it? "
"This … Okay," the shop owner was stunned at first, then said, "I can make it, but the price …"
"How much?" Ye Fan asked.
"Three thousand taels of silver," the shop owner replied.
"I'll take it." Ye Fan said as he took out a gold note from his pocket and handed it to the shop owner. "This is five hundred taels of gold. It's much more than the three thousand taels."
The shop owner took the gold note from Ye Fan with a shocked expression.
Five hundred taels of gold was equivalent to four thousand taels of silver!
He had earned two thousand taels of silver from this deal!
"The white jade mask needs to be made into one of a man and one of a woman. The crystal mask is also for women. The woman's appearance can be made according to this." Ye Fan said as he took out the beauty mask that the old man had given him and handed it to the shop owner.
"What an exquisite mask." The shop owner took it and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
"I want these three masks in two hours," Ye Fan said.
"Two … two hours?" the shop owner said in surprise.
"Two hours," Ye Fan nodded and said, "Hurry up. I don't want the leftover materials for the masks. They're all yours. How about it?"
"Are you serious?" After hearing Ye Fan's words, the shop owner's eyes lit up.
Although the leftover materials for the masks weren't big, they could still be made into a few high-quality jade pendants. They could be sold for at least a few hundred taels!
The person in front of him was really generous.
"Do I look like someone who would lie to you?" Ye Fan replied.
"Alright, it's a deal," the shop owner said happily. "I'll definitely make these three masks in two hours."
Ye Fan nodded and turned to leave the shop.
"Ye Fan -kun." The moment Ye Fan walked out of the shop, Akatsuki's voice sounded behind Ye Fan.
Ye Fan frowned and turned around.
The moment he turned around, the scene in front of him shocked him.
Akatsuki was standing in front of him. She was wearing a white robe and her face was covered with a white veil. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders and her beautiful eyes were shining. She looked exactly like his beloved wife!
