Chapter 265 The Color of Jade

If the glass-type imperial green jade bracelet is the "king" among jade, then perhaps the blood jade bracelet can be given the title of "queen" among jade. It's not that other colors, such as blue water jade, are not good enough or level enough. On the contrary, glass-type blue water jade is also the best-grade jade. However, because in the eyes of Chinese people, most of the time, the green and red of jade are the ultimate beauty!

It’s like the Japanese Yang Quan likes blue water jade, while the Chinese Jia Sidao likes glass-type imperial green even more. This cultural difference also leads to differences in aesthetic vision.

Compared with men like Jia Sidao, green jade is undoubtedly more suitable. As for the blood-colored jade material in front of you, if it is really polished into a bracelet, I am afraid that women like Li Shiyun and Ji Yanran will love it even more.

Jia Sidao also cut all the remaining bright red jade materials. The size is not only based on the color trend of the jade materials, but also based on whether they can be polished into jade bracelets. The process is not very complicated, and Jia Sidao doesn't need to consider what kind of jade pendants can be carved after each piece of jade material is polished into jade bracelets.

We can only cut as much as possible to make it bigger. In this way, even after removing the size of the bracelet from it, other scraps will have more room to play.

Of course, when Jia Sidao completed all this, he suddenly looked at the time, but he didn't expect that it was already early in the morning just cutting a piece of jadeite stone. Especially now it is still late summer, and the morning sunshine still comes a bit early, not to mention that Linhai is still a small town in Jiangnan?

Jia Sidao hurriedly went to wash, took a warm shower, and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already afternoon. After having some breakfast, it was just a lunch. Jia Sidao took a taxi to Uncle Zhou's factory with the blood jade jade, bright red jadeite, and dark red jadeite materials cut last night.

Seeing Xu Zhiguo leisurely polishing a piece of material, a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, his hands were not slow at all, but his expression looked a little leisurely. However, the workers in Uncle Zhou’s factory not far away were working very enthusiastically.

Jia Sidao smiled slightly in his heart, then came to Xu Zhiguo's side, and carefully looked at his movements.

Speaking of which, Jia Sidao is still quite interested in learning the processing and polishing of jade materials. Not only do he want to carve some outstanding works by himself, but it is still necessary to learn simple processing skills just to facilitate his future stone cutting.

At this moment, because the sound in the factory was quite noisy, there were many people walking around Xu Zhiguo. When Jia Sidao came to his back, he didn't care. He just thought it was an ordinary worker and walked past him. He carved the movements of his hands as he should. Occasionally, he would stop, tilt his head and look at the unformed jade material in his hand, and look at it for a few seconds. At the same time, he clamped the smoke at the corner of his mouth with his left hand, took a deep breath, and squirted the ashes, and looked intoxicated by the clouds.

Of course, at this time, maybe I looked at the jade material in front of me, or maybe I thought of some good carving creativity. I was happy and hummed some songs that Jia Sidao didn't understand. Jia Sidao originally thought it was a Cantonese pop song, but when he thought about it, he thought it might not look like it. If it was a pop song, Jia Sidao could hear a few words at least. At this moment, what Xu Zhiguo finally hummed in his mouth was an emphasis that Jia Sidao could not understand at all.

It is probably either local folk songs or Yue Opera.

Jia Sidao didn't understand at all. Even if it was a Peking Opera of the National Essence, Jia Sidao had never heard a few songs. At most, it was the song that appeared in music books when he was a child. The music teacher taught me, such as "five-colored oil paint, I was drawn on my face" and so on. Maybe I could have such a few sentences.

It’s not that Jia Sidao had some serious interest in Peking Opera back then, or that he worked hard to learn and sing in order to pass the music scores. In Jia Sidao’s opinion, music scores cannot be taken into the college entrance examination, and it has nothing to do with the admission scores of junior high school and high school.

The only reason I can study hard is that the music teacher is beautiful!

"Xiao Xu, it seems that you are quite used to your life." As he listened, Jia Sidao said for a moment, "I thought that if you stay here, it would take at least a period of extra time to live a happy life. Now, I don't have to worry about your life."

"Boss, you are here..." Xu Zhiguo stopped the work in his hand, turned around and smiled at Jia Sidao, and said, "It seems that I'm a little late today. Didn't I go out to do something romantic and erotic last night? I just got up now, right?" At the end of the day, there was a faint smile on the corner of Xu Zhiguo's mouth.

It seemed that his joking words were not jumping out of his employee's mouth.

"You kid, you should find one by yourself." Jia Sidao couldn't help but muttered angrily, "I'll tell you that the girls here are pretty good in terms of overall quality. If you have the ability, you can solve your lifelong affairs."

"Boss, you haven't done it yet. I, an employee, should be exempted." Xu Zhiguo said with a smile, "What's more, I can't give up a forest for a big tree, right?"

"Okay, you're gasping before you even said a few words." Jia Sidao was speechless. I guess the last sentence was Xu Zhiguo's true words. However, such a relationship between a boss and an employee was what Jia Sidao wanted to see. He didn't want to find a jade carving master and was very disagreeable with himself. Even if such a master is skilled, there will inevitably be many differences in communication with him!

"By the way, boss, what material are you bringing here this time?" Seeing a gray bag beside Jia Sidao, it was heavy, Xu Zhiguo didn't have to guess that it was jade material. Before, this was the way for any jade material that Jia Sidao wanted to bring here.

Not to mention that most of them are glass-type jade, colorless and with relatively small amounts of impurities, there are naturally a lot of materials of this level, and it is also the vast majority of the jade materials taken out by Jia Sidao. In addition, it is a glass-type jade of general colors such as spinach green and dark green. Take it out one piece and put it in a jade shop in a small city. It can be considered priceless. Even if it is glass-type Yanglu jade, Jia Sidao took it out for a while, and Xu Zhiguo quickly carved a pair of bracelets, two interfaces, and a small pendant in the shape of a birthday star, and he couldn't let it go.

If you are still on the side of "Liu Ji" in Jieyang, a young man like Xu Zhiguo would have no idea that he would wait for a year and a half to have the chance to get the best jade material such as glass-type Yang Green.

It is precisely because of this that there are jade materials of different quality every day that Xu Zhiguo can carve them, which makes him feel that the days he spent in Linhai these days were unprecedentedly fulfilling! Naturally, there is no longer the sigh of leaving his hometown.

For this reason, almost every time Jia Sidao arrives, Xu Zhiguo is full of expectations.

Seeing the other party's hopeful eyes, Jia Sidao did not hide it. He immediately opened the gray leather bag and took out the dark red glass jade material.

Xu Zhiguo's eyes suddenly became much hotter, so he took it over and muttered: "It turns out that it is still a glass-type jade, but it is actually a red jade. It is dark red, the color is purity, and the transparency is also good. As for the size, you should be able to cut out four bracelets, three ring faces, no, four ring faces,..."

The meaning of the words naturally shows the greatest value that this piece of jade can be carved. Jia Sidao listened to it, and was also relieved. If you really want to say it, in terms of perspective, Jia Sidao needs to look at it, or even look left and right, front and back to determine whether it is suitable for turning jade. As for ring faces, it is nothing more than a rough estimate. After all, jade jewelry such as ring faces are not big, but when applied and polished, it is necessary to take out the small part of the jade material with the best texture, color, and water head to carve it.

Otherwise, if a jade ring face has white cotton, grass core, black spots, etc., it is not necessary for people who know how to watch it, and they will know that it is not of high value.

"Hey, such a piece of jade slice should still belong to a piece of jadeite rough stone cut from the outer part, right?" Xu Zhiguo looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and suddenly turned to ask Jia Sidao. His eyes were naturally full of more expectations and said, "Boss, do you still have bright red jade materials?"

While speaking, he glanced at the gray leather bag beside Jia Sidao. It seemed that the jade materials stored there had already made Xu Zhiguo start to be excited!

"Haha, I know I can't hide it from you." Jia Sidao smiled and took out the second piece of jade slice, which was still dark red. However, after Xu Zhiguo accepted it, he looked at it slightly and smiled.

"It turns out that there are bright red jade materials." Xu Zhiguo was very happy and said, "Boss, you really have them. There are quite a few of the best jade materials I have seen these days. They almost make me feel overjoyed. Hehe, this time, I can start work with a hundred times more energy."

"Hey, I said Xiao Xu, may you not be energetic enough in your daily life? When I saw you, I almost worked day and night, and I haven't asked you for additional electricity bills." Before Jia Sidao could speak, a happy voice came from the side.

Jia Sidao immediately turned his head and said, "Hello Uncle Zhou, you are here too."

"Look at what you said, this is the factory I rented. Can I not come?" Uncle Zhou pretended to be angry, and then suddenly turned into a smile and said to Jia Sidao, "Xiao Jia, look at Xiao Xu's excited appearance now, what good materials should you bring? Otherwise, he wouldn't be so excited. Even the old man, I can hear his voice from afar."

"Uncle Zhou, how can you say you are old?" Xu Zhiguo said on the side, "Everyone says men have forty-one flowers. In my opinion, Uncle Zhou, you are a blooming flower."

"Come on, stop flattering me." Zhou Fuguo said helplessly, "You should flatter Xiao Jia, otherwise, who will give you a bonus."

"Hehe, that's it, that's it..." Xu Zhiguo naturally nodded and said yes when he heard this. Then, he glanced at Jia Sidao slightly, as if he was looking for Jia Sidao's opinion. Do he want him to even speak flatteringly now?

"Okay, just Xiao Xu's virtue. I think it's better to waive the bonus or something." Jia Sidao smiled and said, "Besides, Xiao Xu's salary was not paid by me, but by his original boss, and he didn't care about my business at all. So, now I will try my best to squeeze Xiao Xu's surplus labor. Anyway, it's not useless."

"Boss, you are cruel enough." Xu Zhiguo said, while giving Jia Sidao a thumbs up at Jia Sidao. His vicious look really made Jia Sidao and Zhou Fugui laugh at the side.

After a burst of hearty laughter, Zhou Fugui continued, "By the way, Xiao Jia, what good materials did you just talk about? Take them out and let me see them... Could it be the dark red jade material in front of me?" As he spoke, Xu Zhiguo had already handed the jade material in his hand to Zhou Fugui.

"Well, dark red glass jade is very good." Zhou Fugui put it in his hand and looked at it, then weighed it, and said, "Its thickness is also moderate, and it can be polished into a jade bracelet. Xiao Jia, this should be cut by yourself, right?"

"It's true." Jia Sidao nodded and said, "But Uncle Zhou, haven't you seen anything else from this jade slice?" You know, Xu Zhiguo could tell at a glance that the bright red jadeite was connected to this dark red jadeite.

"Oh, are there other ways?" Zhou Fugui couldn't help but look carefully again when he heard this. He also used a flashlight, a magnifying glass and other tools. He then smashed his mouth a few times and said, "This should be a piece of jade cut from the edge of the jadeite raw stone, right?" Seeing Jia Sidao nodding, Zhou Fugui continued, "It seems that the part on this side should be brighter than the dark red in terms of color. In addition, looking at your slightly proud look at your current expression, I think if I guess correctly, there should be bright red glass jade materials."

"Baba,..." Xu Zhiguo next to him clapped his hands as soon as Zhou Fugui's voice landed, and said, "Okay, Uncle Zhou's eyesight is indeed not weak. I guessed that too, waiting for Xiao Jia to come out with bright red jade material, with long eyes."

"Haha, I still can't compare to the eyes of the jadeite and the other party." Seeing what Xu Zhiguo was about to say, Zhou Fugui reached out and stopped him, "Xiao Xu, you don't need to say more. I still have this self-knowledge. By the way, Xiao Jia, bright red glass jade is rare. Take it out quickly and let me pass by it."

"Bright red jade,..." Jia Sidao's mouth was still a strange smile. However, his hand was not slow. He took out a few pieces of bright red jade from his bag and handed them to Xu Zhiguo and Zhou Fugui, one piece each, and the rest was also placed on the ground.

There are four pieces of jadeite materials in total. Among them, the bright red jadeite material in Xu Zhiguo's hand is the largest, equivalent to half the size of the original dark red jadeite slice. The one in Uncle Zhou Fugui's hand is relatively small, just like the size of a jadeite pendant. As for the two pieces on the ground, one of them can still be cut out from a bracelet, and the other piece is probably two ring faces, and then one or two small jadeite pendants.

If Xu Zhiguo couldn't finish carvings today, when he left work, he would naturally place these more valuable jade materials, together with the carved jade products, in a safe next to the factory. In addition, every two or three days, Jia Sidao and Zhou Fugui will also transport the jade products in the safe here to the storage room in the backyard of the "Zhouji".

This is a temporary solution during the period when Jia Sidao did not have his own storage room.

"What a good thing." Zhou Fugui sighed like this when he saw the bright red jade and touched it with his own hands. Occasionally, he would look at Jia Sidao with admiration for a few glances, and even rotated to pick up the other two pieces from the ground and look at it.

On the contrary, when Xu Zhiguo saw these four pieces of jade materials, he frowned slightly. When he came into contact with the first piece of jade, Jia Sidao noticed that Xu Zhiguo was still very excited, especially at the size, which was just enough to cut out a pair of jade bracelets, which really made Xu Zhiguo very happy.

You know, a pair of bright red glass jade bracelets is enough to surpass the value of the two dark red jade slices just now. However, when four pieces of jade materials appeared in front of you, Xu Zhiguo was stunned at the four pieces of jade materials.
