Chapter 70: Hetian Suet Jade Again

Zhao Dabao was Chen Fan's father's boss. He took care of his family and was regarded as Chen Fan's benefactor. Naturally, Chen Fan wanted to ask his opinion as a sign of respect.

With Zhao Dabao's permission, Chen Fan calmly picked up the fish, reached under the water curtain, and dug out the stone under the barefoot immortal's feet.

"Chen Fan, what are you doing? If you dare to touch the Immortal's stepping stone, be careful of being struck by lightning." Zhao Bing deliberately teased.

Many people looked puzzled when they saw Chen Fan's actions. Isn't that a rock on the rockery? Is it possible that he can still pretend to be it?

Chen Fan's desire touched the stone, and the stone really became loose. It turned out that the stone was just placed at the feet of the Barefoot Immortal, and the weight of the Barefoot Immortal was not placed on the stone. It can be seen that there are clues in this. Some bosses saw it

At such a scene, everyone moved forward to catch a glimpse of the wonderful moment.

"Young man, please give me this stone. I will pay you 500,000 yuan." One of the thinner middle-aged men said.

"Sell it to me and I'll pay you 600,000."

"Seven hundred thousand."

"I'll pay 800,000."

Treasures often appear in the most mysterious places. This is everyone's subconscious instinctive belief, so they are sure that the antique jade is definitely in this most mysterious stone.

Chen Fan shook his head and rejected the price offered by everyone. He held the stone in his hands and gently brushed away the moss on the surface.

Except for the moss, the sandstone on the surface wiped away the jealousy and expectations in everyone's eyes. Is this just ordinary sandstone? Are there antique jades hidden in the stones that can be seen everywhere on the roadside?

Some people even look for jade antiques elsewhere, thinking that the jade antiques are not here.

"Xiao Fan, do you really want to buy this stone? It's not too late to regret it now." Although Zhao Dabao didn't care much about the one hundred thousand yuan, he was worried that Chen Fan would feel guilty about losing money, so he tried to persuade him.

"Uncle Zhao, this is it."

"Oh, okay."

Chen Fan had no intention of cutting it. He fumbled with his fingernails in the gaps in the stone. It took him a long time to find a relatively large gap. He used both hands to try and pull the stone open.

"Xiao Fan, you can easily hurt the jade seeds inside." Zhao Bing quickly advised, but it was too late, the stone had been broken in half by Chen Fan's brute force.

Seeing Chen Fan's actions, those experts looked scornful. Based on Chen Fan's methods, they dared to conclude that this was a layman who knew nothing.

To jewelry connoisseurs, jade is a pure and flawless thing that should not be treated rudely, but what Chen Fan did was considered a taboo.

The two hemispherical stones were held by Chen Fan in both hands, but on the hemispherical stone on the right hand side, there was a milky white snuff bottle.

The snuff bottle is completely snow-white, with a uniform color, and circles of reddish-brown texture all over the body. It exudes a holy atmosphere. It is exquisite in workmanship, pure in jade, and warm to the touch. Chen Fan can't put it down.

Obviously, this small snuff bottle is the jade antique that Li Jiacheng mentioned.

Wow!

Everyone stared at the snuff bottle in Chen Fan's hand, and all the disdain and contempt in their eyes disappeared. It turned out that Chen Fan was a person with a unique vision, and he could see the rocks in the rockery at a glance, but so many of them didn't notice it.

It's really embarrassing for a young man.

"The whole body is clear, white with reddish color, and the rebirth has a brown jade soul. It seems to be around the Qing Dynasty. This kind of jade is a very pure mutton-fat white jade in Hetian jade. Putting aside its historical value, this palm-sized snuff bottle

, worth at least around four million." An old man in his sixties walked up to Chen Fan and analyzed it carefully for everyone.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Yu?"

Someone exclaimed, and the others immediately stood in awe.

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, that's embarrassing. In order to appreciate Mr. Li's treasure, Yu traveled a long distance and suffered a lot of injuries. But today I got to see this treasure. It was a worthwhile trip."

Although Chen Fan did not know the old man known as Yu Lao, he could tell from the looks of the people around him that this old man's identity was definitely extraordinary.

"He is an authority in the jade world. It is said that he has never made a mistake and has deep insights and research into jade." Zhao Dabao explained to Chen Fan in a low voice, worried that Chen Fan was young and energetic and might offend Mr. Yu.

Mr. Yu smiled kindly and said to Chen Fan: "Young man has extraordinary eyesight at a young age. I really admire him. I have wanted this moon-patterned snuff bottle once used by the Empress Dowager Cixi, but Li

If the husband refuses to sell to the old man, it is better for the young man to sell it to the old man. You can set the price as you like. As long as it is not too excessive, the old man will never counter-offer."

Everyone was slightly startled when they heard this. Mr. Yu personally came forward to inspect the moon-patterned snuff bottle. It was obvious that this antique jade was indeed very precious. How could it be worse than the treasure that Mr. Yu was so concerned about?

Everyone's eyes were all on Chen Fan, and they were very envious that Chen Fan could obtain a treasure worth heirlooming at such an age.

Now, as long as Chen Fan opens his mouth, he can become a multi-millionaire immediately.

Feeling the blazing gazes of many, Chen Fan grinned, scratched his head and said, "Sorry, I chose the stone for Uncle Zhao, so it is up to him to decide."

After saying that, Chen Fan handed the moon pattern snuff bottle to Zhao Dabao.

Everyone was a little surprised. The treasure in their hands was worth tens of millions. How could a young child keep a cool head and give away such a valuable thing?

Chen Fan's behavior made many people think that there was something wrong with his brain, but the authority in the jewelry industry, Mr. Yu, admired him very much.

Zhao Dabao was a little flattered and said: "Xiaofan, Uncle Zhao asked you to pick this stone. The benefits of picking it are of course yours. How can you give it to Uncle Zhao?"

Zhao Dabao wanted the moon pattern snuff bottle very much. This thing was definitely the most precious treasure in his collection.

But Zhao Dabao was embarrassed to ask for Chen Fan's things, after all, it was Chen Fan who chose them.

"Uncle Zhao, last time Zhao Bing asked me to give Xiaoya the necklace, but I didn't agree. I promised that if there are good things, I would give them to Zhao Bing first, so just accept it." Chen Fan advised again, although he is currently short of money.

, but the future is long. With your perspective, are you still worried about lack of money?

"Dad, don't be polite to Chen Fan. This thing is a waste of money for him." Zhao Bing said leisurely beside him, not polite at all.

"Uh, okay, Xiaofan, I'll take this thing first. If you regret it, Uncle Zhao will definitely return it to you." Zhao Dabao then took the moon pattern snuff bottle and immediately put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.

, it feels moist to the touch, just like a woman’s skin, smooth and delicate.

"No, brother Xiaofan, you are so poor yourself, why are you so generous?" Yun Xi grabbed Chen Fan's arm and complained with a pouted mouth.

Chen Fan smiled bitterly. Yun Xi wanted the luminous pearl, but she had no money to buy it for her. Now that she was giving away a moon-patterned snuff bottle worth tens of millions, she naturally couldn't stand it.

"Haha, I treat money like dirt. It's really rare at your age." Old Yu smiled and touched his beard and praised.

"Old Yu is so ridiculous. I'm not interested in antique jades. Putting such valuable things here is a waste of money. It's better to collect them for people who are interested. I dare to ask a question. I wonder if Old Yu can do it?"

Can you help me solve my doubts?" Chen Fan bowed his waist slightly and said with a pious attitude.

"But it doesn't matter." Mr. Yu readily agreed.

Everyone around him is envious of Chen Fan. As an authoritative figure in the jewelry and jade industry, Mr. Yu is very well-informed in terms of his ability to identify jade and jewelry and the news in the industry. Some people want to find out some information from Mr. Yu.

, at least you have to go to the door in person to give gifts to get a message of enlightenment.

Others say that Mr. Yu's ability to identify jade is very special and cannot be learned by ordinary people. Moreover, Mr. Yu has never failed in gambling on stones. However, Mr. Yu does not care about making a little money from gambling on stones.

A notice was posted in the factory: "Dogs and jade old men are not allowed inside."

This sentence is not an insult to Mr. Yu, but a sign of respect for Mr. Yu, because Mr. Yu can pick valuable jade seeds every time. Wouldn't the jade merchant be bankrupt?

"Old Yu, the jade of the moon-patterned snuff bottle is pure, and it is the most precious mutton-fat jade among Hetian jade. What are the obvious characteristics of mutton-fat jade?" Chen Fan asked respectfully.

The rest of the people didn't know why Chen Fan went to ask for such basic knowledge if he didn't please Yu Lao and get to know Yu Lao at this moment.

"Haha, mutton-fat white jade should first be white, like white mutton fat, with a hint of red in the middle. Many experts call it pink jade. It is crystal white and flawless. It is characterized by whiteness, brightness, warmth, fineness, and oil."

Yulao gave the most common answer. There are too many issues involved in this question, and it would be a bit nerve-wracking to tell them all.

Chen Fan nodded, causing some people to think that he was pretending to be pious and studious to please Mr. Yu.

Chen Fan did not ask any more questions, but asked Zhao Dabao: "Uncle Zhao, can I pick another stone?"

"Of course, don't say just one piece, you pick dozens of pieces, and I'll keep the price." Zhao Dabao said cheerfully.

"No, just one piece." Chen Fan picked up the fish and went to pick out stones.

Everyone's attention was diverted. Being able to choose the moon pattern snuff bottle shows that Chen Fan has a unique vision. However, it may be a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, so this selection can prove whether Chen Fan's vision is that good.

god.

Chen Fan barely made any choices and decisively fished out a white stone from the bottom of the pond.

Stones with white powder on the surface are likely to contain jade seeds, because the white powder is the remaining material produced by the weathering of jade seeds. This is the most basic knowledge for stone gambling.

But looking at the size and type of the stone, it should be a relatively common jade inside. The stone is relatively small, and even if there is jade seed, it can only be used to create a bracelet at most.

Chen Fan took the stone and excitedly started cutting it on the cutting machine.

Chi——

The cutting machine made a harsh sound. When Mr. Yu heard this sound, the smile on his face gradually faded and his brows wrinkled slightly.

After the stone is cut open, it is jade as white as milk, just like a mature coconut that is cut open, as white as snow, exuding a pleasant warm color.

"Hetian mutton-fat jade!" the knowledgeable boss exclaimed.
