Chapter 481: Immortals are hard to break the inch Duanyu
The atmosphere in the rough stone area is very lively, and from time to time there will be screams of surprise or angry curses coming from every stall.
A madman buys, a madman sells, and another madman is waiting...
This sentence can be said to describe the state of the scene in front of me deeply.
"Holy crap! Aren't you just a pile of polished seeds? You dare to put this out to pretend to be white light seeds. You really think we are stupid..."
At a stall nearby, several people were pointing at a pile of small white jade stones and cursing. An Xiangrong was curious, so he went over to take a look, and underestimated with a confused look on his face: "Polished seeds? Is it good or bad?"
?The luster of these jade stones is quite beautiful..."
Xiao Yun smiled and explained: "Brother An, although these pebbles are beautiful, they are actually made of quartz stone, low-quality mountain materials, or even ground stones. To put it bluntly, they are fake seed materials!
"
In fact, some jade merchants now, driven by profit, have come up with various ways to imitate high-quality seed materials.
In addition to the ground seed materials mentioned just now, the most common type is dyed seed materials.
This kind of artificial seed material usually uses inorganic dyes or organic dyes to make the skin color on the surface of jade, and then creates a "grease layer". At first glance, it looks the same as natural seed material, and it is almost difficult to find.
distinguish.
In the past, some jade merchants would also use animal blood to dye, soak ordinary jade in the blood of dogs, sheep, pigs, and horses, and bury it underground for several years, which was called "Xueqin."
There is even an even crueler method, which is to cut a small opening in the leg of the lamb, seal it with Hetian jade, and then take it out after a period of time.
All in all, there are endless ways to fake seeds. If cutting jade raw stones is about heartbeat, then betting on seeds is about experience and eyesight.
After listening to Xiao Yun's words, An Xiangrong couldn't help but secretly gasped, "The water here is too deep, and you will be deceived if you are not careful."
When Xiao Dahai, who was walking at the front, heard this, he turned around and glanced at Xiao Yun intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "So these materials in the rough stone area are not something ordinary people can afford. One can be poor and the other can be rich. If you don't have any wealth,
, then it can’t withstand such torture.”
Hearing this, An Xiangrong clenched his teeth.
Isn't this old bald man saying that they can't afford to gamble with stones?
Bai Tang gently held his arm and persuaded in a low voice: "Okay Xiang Rong, these capable people have bad tempers, let him be."
An Xiangrong said angrily: "Xiaotang, I'm not bragging, my brother Xiao Xiao's ability to see rocks may not be worse than his!"
It was Xiao Yun who relied on his incredible luck to win back the money his father lost in Li Junhao's stone gambling den.
In his opinion, Xiao Yun can definitely be called an expert among experts!
Bai Tang smiled faintly, without comment, patted his shoulder gently and comforted: "Okay, there are so many people here today, he must be more than just a jade appraiser. At worst, we will find another person to help.
Just watch.”
While the two were chatting in low voices, another excited voice came from another stall.
"I'll go! The best lychee meat! It's so good, so good now..."
An Xiangrong's attention was attracted by the sound, and he asked curiously: "Xiaotang, what is lychee meat?"
"It refers to materials that are not very oily, have good transparency, and look very watery. Generally, most of them are high-quality Qinghai jade."
Hearing that Bai Tang could explain these professional terms clearly, Xiao Yun thought to himself, it seems that Bai Tang knows a lot about the jewelry and jade industry.
At this moment, Xiao Yun suddenly stopped in front of a stall and stared at a stone with intense eyes.
"Boss, how much does this stone cost?" Xiao Yun asked, pointing to a rough stone the size of a palm.
Hearing his voice, the group of people stopped and looked back.
"This?" The boss pointed to the stone in front of him and said, "Take it away for one thousand and eight dollars."
I saw that the stone was gray, looked very rough, and had a crack on the surface.
Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows and said to the boss with a smile, "I bought it."
The boss immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly picked up the stone. He seemed a little unsure and asked: "Handsome guy, are you sure you want it? One thousand and eighty, it's one thousand and eighty!"
Xiao Yun nodded.
Upon seeing this, the boss's eyes suddenly burst into laughter.
It is said that "ten seeds and nine cracks", good quality materials cannot have cracks, at least they cannot have obvious big cracks.
If there are very few cracks in this piece of material, or there are just some cracks on the surface without damaging the inside, it would be acceptable.
But if the crack is too deep or there are too many cracks, it is considered waste.
As for the stone in front of me, just by looking at the appearance, I know that the jade inside is likely to have many cracks. Even if the cracks are not serious, it may still be a piece of yin and yang.
The so-called yin and yang side means that in the same piece of jade, one side has good texture and the other side has poor texture.
He originally wanted to sell this kind of rough stone for 1,800 yuan, but even if Xiao Yun bargained hard, he was still willing to sell it for 500 yuan.
But who knew that the other party would actually say he wanted to buy it without even blinking, which made him extremely happy.
Seeing Xiao Yun preparing to pay, Xiao Dahai couldn't help but sneered.
Taken advantage of, really taken advantage of.
Originally, he didn't intend to remind Xiao Yun verbally, but when he saw Lin Xue'er on the side, he thought that no matter how useless this pretty boy was, he was still Lin Xue'er's "boyfriend" in name. If he could give him a few words of advice,
, it can be considered as flattering Lin Xueer,
Thinking of this, Xiao Dahai immediately rolled his eyes and smiled hypocritically: "Little brother, this stone is very 'stiff' at first glance, and there are also cracks! Eighteen thousand... seems to be a bit expensive.
Son."
What Xiao Dahai refers to as "stiff" actually means that jade contains a large amount of calcified impurities.
This situation is generally caused by the formation of an associated calcification during the formation of jade. The direction of the calcification in the veins of the jade is erratic. Some are gathered in large pieces, and some are scattered in small amounts in the jade.
Hearing this, even Bai Tang nodded slightly.
Even if Xiao Yun is lucky, the crack is very shallow and does not penetrate deep into the jade inside. But even so, she is not optimistic about this stone. She thinks that it will be easy to get dirty colors and have many impurities. If she wants to make it after buying it,
Any kind of jewelry needs to be "digging out", which is very troublesome.
One thousand and eighty is really not worth the price.
Hearing this, the expression on the boss's face was a little embarrassed. He also felt that the quality of the stone was not very good, but he finally met someone who was interested in it, so he had to lick his face and smile against his will.
: "Handsome guy, it's hard for gods to cut through jade. How can I say that if you cut this stone, you'll find something good? One thousand and eighty dollars is not expensive. It's worth a gamble."
Xiao Yun smiled faintly and was noncommittal.
In fact, he has already opened his clairvoyant eyes. Not only does this stone not have many impurities as Xiao Dahai said, but it also has a uniform structure, no cotton and no flowers. It is a beautiful piece of seed material!
