"Little brother, you have to think carefully. This stone will definitely be a piece of waste after you buy it. You can't make anything into it and give it away." Xiao Dahaigui said with a smile.
In his opinion, how much money can a pretty boy like Xiao Yun, who lives with a rich woman, have? He just thinks this piece of broken stone is cheap and wants to buy it to please Lin Xueer.
Xiao Yun didn't say anything, but paid the money readily and asked the boss: "Boss, can you open a window here?"
The so-called "window opening" refers to cutting off a piece of the outer skin of the original stone to expose a small piece, like a small window. By observing the quality of the window, the quality of the entire original stone can be inferred.
The boss happily counted the money and nodded: "Okay, okay! Handsome guy, just wait!"
At the stalls in the raw stone area, almost every boss has prepared stone cutting tools. If the conditions are good, they will even bring a specialized stone cutting master.
Although Bai Tang was very dissatisfied with this stone just now, he became interested when he heard Xiao Yun's request to open the window.
Although Lin Xueer also hated Xiao Dahai's snobbish face, the analysis she just heard from him was indeed sound.
Originally, she wanted to give Xiao Yun some advice, but then she thought about it. This stone only cost 1,800 yuan, so she should just buy it for him.
"Cut a hole from here." Xiao Yun pointed at the cracks on the stone surface.
Hearing this, Xiao Dahai almost burst into laughter.
This kid doesn't think that if he cuts this crack on the surface, there will be good stuff inside, right?
It's like a chicken dreaming of millet - wishing for good things!
There is indeed a chance of missing something like this, but the chance is really too small...
Under such circumstances, how dare he gamble like this?
I don't know whether to call him crazy or stupid.
Under the complicated looks of everyone, the boss made an incision on the stone as requested by Xiao Yun.
"Huh?" The boss suddenly frowned, seeming a little surprised.
Xiao Dahai took the opportunity to look at the stone in his hand, and his face froze for a moment. He saw that behind the opening of the stone, not only did the cracks not extend to the inside, but some caramel-colored outer skin was exposed, like sesame dots.
"Uh...handsome guy, you are lucky, there is no crack inside!" A trace of embarrassment flashed in the boss's eyes, he raised his head and smiled at Xiao Yun.
"Haha!" Xiao Dahai smiled coldly and said, "There are no cracks, but it's just a piece of 'sesame candy material'."
These densely packed sugar spots are actually impurities, which have a certain impact on the utilization of jade meat. They are called "sesame sugar materials" in the jade industry and have no collection value.
Bai Tang consoled him: "Maybe if you cut some more, there will still be jade meat that can be used."
This kind of jade generally has more pits on the outermost side of the jade flesh. The closer it is to the white jade flesh, the pits gradually reduce or even disappear.
The piece Xiao Yun bought was bigger than a palm. If you were lucky, the jade meat inside could be used to make a small pendant or something.
"Boss, continue! This time, cut here." Xiao Yun made a vague scratch on the stone.
Xiao Dahai couldn't help but laugh and said: "Little brother, in my opinion, this piece of sesame candy material of yours can be cut in half! Anyway, the stuff outside is all useless waste."
Bai Tang also nodded.
Although Xiao Dahai's tone was very unpleasant, he got to the point. You could see it with the first cut just now. This piece of jade has a lot of impurities. It's better to cut it in half with one knife to see.
If you're lucky, you can still pick out some usable jade meat. If you're not lucky, it's dirty and still has a lot of black spots, then it's "dragon fruit" and it's going to be a lot of trouble to deal with it.
.
Lin Xueer and An Xiangrong listened and understood the general idea.
"Xiao Xiao, why not just cut it in half? The stone is not expensive anyway, 1,800 yuan, so it's not a big loss." An Xiangrong advised.
Xiao Yun smiled faintly and said to the boss: "Just do what I just said. I'm sorry to bother you, boss."
With his clairvoyant eyes open, he knew better than everyone present whether the inside of this stone was good or not.
Xiao Dahai sneered and felt that Xiao Yun was wasting his time.
But seeing how carefully Xiao Yun treated a piece of scrap, he suddenly felt a sense of superiority in his heart.
This boy is indeed a pretty boy who only wants to spend 1,800 yuan on a piece of scrap material as if it were a treasure. You can tell at a glance that this amount of money is not a small amount for him!
How can a poor guy learn to play with jade like others!
But the next second.
The boss suddenly took a breath of cold air and stared at the stone in his hand with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Xiao Dahai raised his eyebrows and looked at the stone in his hand.
But it’s okay if he doesn’t look at it, and it scares him silly when he looks at it!
I saw a large piece of complete candy-colored skin appearing at the cut hole!
"This...is this sugar bag white?" The boss swallowed his saliva, seeming a little unsure.
Hearing this, An Xiangrong's face lit up with joy and he excitedly asked loudly: "Then there's good news?!"
The passers-by around him were attracted by his voice and came over one after another.
"What kind of candy bag is white... This, this is red skin and white meat!" A sharp-eyed person shouted.
As soon as the four words "red skin, white meat" were shouted, people around him stopped and looked towards the stall as if they had heard some shocking news.
"What? Someone opened the red skin and white meat?! It's impossible..."
"I'll go! Is it real or fake? Who has such good luck?"
"This piece of red leather looks really good! I just don't know if the meat underneath is white..."
"Hmm... I think it's unlikely! If this is really red skin and white flesh, then it must be the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves?"
The combination of red and white is always a classic.
One is like a blazing flame, one is as clean as water, one is unrestrained, and the other is tranquil. The two contrasting colors collide together, which creates many beautiful "red skin and white flesh".
One of the biggest features of Hetian jade seed material is that it has a naturally occurring skin color. However, this "red skin" is often found, but "white flesh" is not often found.
Generally speaking, red skin rarely grows on white meat. Under most red skin, the meat is mostly green, green-white, or gray-white.
Therefore, there is a saying in the circle, "Red skin and white meat are wrong", which means that the combination of the two is very rare.
There is even a saying in the industry, "One red, two yellow and three mutton fat", "Jade with red color is priceless"!
It can be said that this jade with red skin and white flesh is something that can only be found but not sought after!
Everyone was talking and talking, and they all speculated whether there was white meat under the red skin. For a while, the stall was surrounded by water.
