Chapter 012 The Beauty of Stone Part 2

Xu Shen from the Eastern Han Dynasty in China explained in his book "Shuowen Jiezi": "The beauty of jade is the one that is stone."

It really tells the essence of jade in one word. Moreover, according to the man surnamed Ma, jade includes mountain materials, seed jade, etc. The price difference is very large in different jade quality. There are many tricks here. If you don’t focus on this profession, it will be difficult for laymen to understand the various things.

As the man surnamed Ma said before, there were many people watching the wool materials on the street stalls, all of whom were curious and were really interested in taking action, but only a few were. Judging from Jia Sidao's meager understanding, there might be more people gambling stones in some places in Yunnan. In Jiangnan cities like Linhai, the gambling stones industry has obviously not yet developed well.

However, looking at the situation in front of you, I'm afraid there are many people who know the goods.

After listening a lot, Jia Sidao gradually came up with some clues about the introductions from two middle-aged men around him.

This wool material is naturally not a stone produced in ordinary places, but was bought from a remote jade production area and transported it back specially. In other words, the reason why these people present are so nervous about these stones, they touched them from around and around, and they also took out physical tools such as amplification realm. The main purpose is to further confirm whether there is original jade in these stones, or how good the quality of the original jade is, and whether it is worth betting on it...

Jia Sidao couldn't help but ask the man surnamed Ma in a low voice and said, "Brother Ma, can they tell if there is jade inside this way?"

"No." The man surnamed Ma said with certainty, "However, as I said just now, if people who bet on stones have too many bets, they will always find some rules. It's like we may look at a few ordinary stones, but they look like there are a lot of information on the surface of the stone that can reflect the internal jade quality, such as the ratio between the size and weight of the stone, and some patterns on the surface of the stone, etc. These will help them judge the wool."

"It seems that gambling stones is just like playing antiques, relying on experience and eyesight." Jia Sidao couldn't help but sigh.

"Not necessarily." said the man surnamed Zhang, "It is true that gods can't break the jade inch. Before a piece of wool is cut, any judgment on its internal content is not certain, but more depends on luck. However, antiques are different. Really, fakes are fakes. If there is a fake, it can be faked, even fakes have a considerable value. However, if the wool is opened without jade, there will be no value."

"Is there an instrument that can see through the inside of the wool?" When Jia Sidao heard that the gods could not break the jade, he suddenly subconsciously glanced at his left hand. On the middle finger, the band sticker was very conspicuous. At the same time, Jia Sidao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot.

Jia Sidao never knew that his emotions would still be so excited. Even when he received the university notice, he was not as good as he is now.

"I want such an instrument to exist." The man surnamed Zhang said with a faint smile, "However, until now, it seems that there is no instrument that can see the situation inside except for cutting the wool. Otherwise, there will be no such thing as gambling stones."

"What I said is, gambling stones, it's just the word "gambling"." Jia Sidao casually echoed, but his eyes glanced at the stones on the street stall. The middle finger of his left hand seemed to start to move as Jia Sidao's mood changes.

After a rough count, three of the wool placed on the ground were relatively large, about thirty or forty centimeters high, and the length and width were tens of centimeters. Jia Sidao thought that he might not be able to hold them. The others were obviously much smaller than these three. When he grabbed them in his hand, he felt that it was only a few kilograms to ten kilograms at most, and there were scattered pieces, with no less than twenty.

At first glance, it looks like the wool materials Jia Sidao looked at in the "Zhouji" jade shop, and it is generally larger than the size of the wool.

The people who were quite experienced in gambling stones mentioned by the man surnamed Ma were still studying carefully at one of the three large pieces of wool materials, from the beginning of the whispering communication to the current focus of attention, it was obvious that the people who should know had almost understood what they should know, and the rest might be the difference in their own price.

During this process, Jia Sidao noticed that some people who were interested in wool on the side could go forward, touch them with their own hands or use a magnifying glass to see the wool, or even some simple inquiries, such as where these wool came from, what the price is, and so on, the middle-aged stall owner would also answer a few words.

During everyone's questions, Jia Sidao carefully discovered that everyone seemed to care more about what one of the people named Mr. Yang said. Jia Sidao thought that this person should have a good understanding of gambling stones and had no plans to take action, so he would communicate with the people around him.

Otherwise, for those who are still observing the large piece of wool, the occasional discussion between them is also very quiet, for fear that others will hear it, and they will not rashly promote it. This phenomenon is actually not much different from when playing with antiques. People with some knowledge will generally hide their weaknesses.

Otherwise, how could anyone ask for advice?

Just like Jia Sidao's colleague Xiao Liuzi, even if he found an antique at home, he wanted to find someone to find out the value of the antique, it would be unlikely if there was no relationship.

"Mr. Yang, what do you think of these wool materials?" Soon, just as Mr. Yang put down a piece of wool materials in his hand, someone asked him.

The middle-aged stall owner just glanced at Mr. Yang and had no intention of stopping him. Anyway, he was the only one who set up stalls outside the entire antique street, which was the only one who operated the wool material business. Moreover, the stall owner seemed to be very confident in his wool material, and was not afraid that Mr. Yang would say anything randomly and scare the potential customers around him.

"Not bad! These are indeed wool materials produced in Hotan, and there is no sign of processing! If you are interested, you can take a try." Mr. Yang said a few simple words. When the middle-aged stall owner heard this, a trace of brightness flashed in his eyes. Just these few words added a lot of color to these wool materials.

Didn’t you see Mr. Yang’s voice just fell, and many people around you were in a lot of interest?
