After entering the yard, this building was smaller than Chen Yi thought, but compared with the more than ten people left in the jade carving factory, it naturally looked very large.

There are several houses in the yard, one of which looks like a production workshop, while the other houses are probably for rest.

When you enter here, you will know at a glance that you are here in an art carving factory. There are some carved or unfinished products piled up in the yard, and some scattered waste materials are mixed in it.

When he got closer, Chen Yi looked at it for a few moments and couldn't help but smile. Some of the carved items placed in the yard were carved from inferior Shoushan stones, while others were cheap stick jade and Xiong Luosiguo jade.

The slightly better ones in the stick jade can be sold for 1,000 yuan per kilogram. Those with poor quality are sold directly. The chemical composition is basically similar to that of Hetian jade, and the hardness and density are not far different. However, they are of low-end jade in terms of quality, so they are often sold by some illegal vendors as Hetian jade.

Some jade carving practices are naturally impossible to use Hetian jade every time you practice. Then these cheap jade or Shoushan stone are the best choice.

However, many of these jade artifacts carved from inferior jade are exquisite objects, and some people and animals are lifelike. If they are replaced with good materials, they are definitely fine works. Through these jade carvings, Chen Yi also knew that the skills of these jade carving masters who survived were very powerful.

Only those who have truly understood the original meaning of jade carving will insist on protecting the jade carving culture of Lingzhou without any intention of giving up.

"Haha, Xiaoyou Chen, can you tell what kind of jade these are?" Seeing the expression on Chen Yi's face, Gu Lao couldn't help but ask with a smile, do you know about jade? Just this question can be known.

Chen Yi couldn't help but smile. After he got the appraisal system, the ones he had most contact with were the jadeware. The ones he had the most were jadeware made of various jades on the street stalls of the antique market. It can be said that he had competed for beauty, including plastic, glass, stone, and crushed jade. The ones were slightly higher-end were bran jade, Xiong Luosi jade, or some low-quality Dushan jade. It can be said that he had witnessed a variety of Chinese jades.

Similarly, through continuous identification and analysis of these jades, Chen Yi now doesn’t even touch them with his hands. He can tell the types of these jades by just a few glances.

"Oldly, this jade pot is made of stick jade, and this figure carving is made of Shoushan stone. These scattered jade pendants are made of Xiong Luosi's jade." Chen Yi smiled, pointed to some jade artifacts piled up next to him, and said one by one.

Seeing Chen Yi only looked at him for a few times and did not touch him with his hands, he knew the materials used in these jade artifacts. The two old men Gu Lao and Old Bai showed a look of surprise. If it were the jade carving masters who had been in contact with jade for many years, they would have such eyesight. It would be amazing if they were so young and had such eyesight.

Jiang Wei's expression was as normal as Chen Yi's performance. Chen Yi was able to find a lot of treasures in the antique city where fish and dragons were mixed, which was enough to show his vision.

Similarly, he was a little lucky that bringing Chen Yi with him this time was the right choice. Otherwise, with the two old men just now, he would not have let him enter the yard. It was through Chen Yi's words that he could come in. Of course, there was also the contribution of the Blood Wolf.

It was precisely because of Chen Yi's understanding of culture that resonated with him, and the jade issue just now made him feel good about it, so he described it like this. Otherwise, if Jiang Wei came here, he would not have been so easy to visit the production room.

The old men looked around sixty years old, each of them were full of energy. They did not notice their arrival at all, and they looked at the jade in their hands or on the table with concentration.

"Little Friend Chen, how much do you know about jade carvings?" Gu Lao did not rush to take Chen Yi and the others to the machine to watch, but asked Chen Yi with a smile.

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, and then answered truthfully, "Ancient. I have learned a lot about some of the characteristics of jadeware, but I know very little about the process of jade carving. I just know that jadeware is made of artificial carving."

"My friend Chen, tell you that in fact, jadeware is not carved, but uses jadeite, quartz, garnet and other jadeite sand with higher hardness than jade, and is ground with water, both in ancient and modern times."

"As the saying goes, stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. If jade is not carved, it cannot be made into tools. This means the processing process of jade. Generally speaking, it is not called jade carving, but jade carving. But for the sake of easier understanding, it is called jade carving. Let's go. One of the old men is going to make a jade pendant. We can watch the process of making jade from beginning to end, which can be regarded as unraveling the mysterious veil of jade carving for Chen Xiaoyou."

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Gu Lao smiled and told Chen Yi some knowledge of jade carvings, which made Chen Yi feel that he gained a lot.

I heard a lot of jade carvings and jade carvings, so I naturally thought that jadeware was carved, but I didn’t expect that it was carved bit by bit with some hardness.

When walking around these machines, Chen Yi found some tables next to him filled with various jade artifacts. At roughly, there were dozens of pieces, and each piece was very exquisite. Judging from the jade material, it was very different from the inferior jade material outside. This was made of real Hetian jade or jadeite.

At this time, they walked to a machine. An old man was holding a piece of jade, facing something. When he noticed their arrival, he immediately raised his head, looked at it, then helped his eyes, and said unhappily: "Old man, didn't you say that you should not disturb us? Why did you bring people again? It's your turn and Lao Bai on duty today, which is a bit unqualified."

"Well, these two are very curious about our jade carving culture. Moreover, Chen Xiaoyou is an appraiser and has some understanding of jade culture. So I will take them to see it, so that more young people can understand our Lingzhou jade carvings. Isn't this exactly what we need?" Gu Lao coughed and said with a smile.
