When Li Xiangqian was puzzled, the old man who had just come with Yao Xuewei looked straight at Li Xiangqian.
"Mr. Dong, you are here just in time to give us a review. I don't know if this stranger came here specifically to cause trouble. He actually said that my piece of material worth millions is worthless."
Seeing that the shop owner was still calling him a foreigner, and had just called him a kitten from a foreign country, Li Xiangqian was about to go forward to argue, but was quietly stopped by Shen Haoyang, who had just wanted to buy his violets.
A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake.
You can't win the fight. If someone beats you again, you won't be able to deal with the pain.
At this moment, Yao Xuewei finally couldn't help it anymore and winked at Li Xiangqian, telling him not to be impulsive.
Only then did Li Xiangqian stop.
The identity of Mr. Dong, as the owner of this shop calls him, is not simple.
His name is Dong Yuchun.
Not only is he an authority in the entire Tianzhou stone gambling industry, he is also a national treasure-level master of the southern jade carving tradition. He has the title of the first southern jade carver, nicknamed Dong Yidao.
And because he was a highly respected senior figure in the jade carving industry, he was also called Master Dong.
We know that when a good jadeite finally comes out, five aspects must be considered.
Plant, water, color, land, work.
The species refers to the fineness of the jade crystal particles, which are generally what we call glass species, ice species, bean species, and waxy species, which refer to the species of jade.
Water refers to the head of jade. In a broad sense, it refers to the gloss and transparency of jade. A crystal-clear material that looks watery will be more expensive and more collectible than a material that looks dry and opaque.
value.
Color refers to the color of jadeite. There are many colors of jadeite. Generally, green is the noblest color, which is said to be "dense", "positive", "yang" and "harmony".
A material with full green color, pure green color, no variegation, uniform and soft color will be more attractive.
Ground generally refers to the foundation of jadeite, which refers to other manifestations of the entire piece of jadeite except for the color of the jadeite.
So among the five major elements of jadeite, the last one is workmanship. Workmanship refers to the jade carving master’s carving, polishing, design, and finished product.
The first four elements are generally formed naturally. The last element is that the jade carving master relies on his superb craftsmanship and thinking to finally present the natural jade material to everyone.
If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool.
Three points of material, seven points of work.
This fully illustrates the importance of "work" among the five elements of jadeite.
As a master of jade carving, one of the most talked-about things about Dong Yuchun is that he once carved a sign from a piece of waste material filled with snowflake cotton using his superb knife skills and design.
This sign is the name of Lin Chong’s Snowy Night on Liangshan Mountain, which later became famous.
This card makes full use of the disadvantages of snowflake cotton to vividly depict Lin Chong's desolate land with falling grass on Liangshan Mountains under heavy snow.
This piece of scrap material, which was originally worthless, became famous through Dong Yuchun's skillful hands. Now it has been sold for three million in the jadeite circle.
This also established Dong Yuchun's reputation as Dong Yidao in the jade carving industry.
He is famous for his rigorous conduct and is regarded as a god-like existence in the entire Tianzhou jadeite circle.
As an absolute authority in the field of jade carving and an expert in raw jadeite, Dong Yuchun did not directly help the shop owner to angrily attack Li Xiangqian.
On the contrary, in his heart, he was a little dissatisfied with the shop owner who told lies.
After all, when the shop owner insulted Li Xiangqian by a foreigner, Dong Yuchun had already heard it clearly.
They are all from the jade circle, whether they are local or foreign. Besides, people with black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin are all descendants of the Yan and Huang people.
What local and foreign areas are we fighting for?
My old Dong was not from Tianzhou thirty years ago.
So Dong Yuchun turned his head and gave the shop owner a ruthless look, clearly telling the shop owner to stop talking nonsense and not to bully the small ones.
When the shop owner saw that Dong Yuchun was not helping him, he immediately felt timid and couldn't help but shut up immediately.
After all, this old man cannot be offended by anyone.
And he really can't afford to offend.
The shop owner did not dare to pay attention to Li Xiangqian anymore, and taking advantage of this gap, Dong Yuchun went directly to the piece of jade material that Li Xiangqian said was worthless.
Then he also squatted down, put on his glasses, and took a strong flashlight to study it carefully.
After five minutes, he raised his head and looked at Li Qianqian again.
"Young man, you say this piece of material is worthless? What's the basis for it?"
Li Xiangqian saw that things were getting louder and louder, and more and more people were watching the excitement.
And looking at the old man in front of him, he looked like a top expert in the jade field. To be honest, he didn't want to show off his skills in front of so many people.
Moreover, this was still Tianzhou, and he was unfamiliar with everyone there.
Why!
If I had known this, I should have left early.
At the moment, he estimated that it might be impossible to leave directly.
However, it is also necessary to hide oneself to protect oneself.
"Old sir, I just guessed based on my feeling!"
As soon as Li Xiangqian's words came out, he immediately aroused cynicism and laughter from the people around him. Even the shop owner couldn't help but despise him enthusiastically.
But when Li Xiangqian said this, Mr. Dong didn't believe it.
Because he had an intuition that the young man in front of him with good looks and figure looked calm and capable, and did not look like an impetuous person.
Without some basis, he couldn't just say that this piece of material was worthless.
Dong Yuchun thought for a while and finally understood. The boy in front of him was probably hiding his clumsiness on purpose and didn't want to show off on purpose.
But that's not right. He took a closer look at this piece of material just now. The leather shell is tight and delicate, and there is a slender ribbon running through it. As the saying goes, there is water everywhere in the dragon. Once such a long ribbon penetrates deep
Jade meat is definitely a good ingredient.
So no surprise, this piece of material will definitely rise sharply and will never collapse.
In that case, how could the young man in front of me say that this piece of material was worthless?
Just when Dong Yuchun was confused, the owner of the store jumped out again.
Now the eldest lady of the Huang family has finally raised the price for the material to 500,000 yuan, which is the highest bid in the past six months, so he will sell this piece of material no matter what.
"Mr. Dong, your time is precious, so don't waste it on some people. You should see with your own eyes how wonderful the texture of this stone is."
After the shop owner finished speaking, he directly picked up the piece of jade material and moved it in front of the proud Miss Huang.
"Miss Huang, I hope you have not been affected. This piece of material costs 500,000 yuan, which is definitely worth it."
Miss Huang originally planned to buy it, but the reason why she couldn't help but ask Li Xiangqian just now was because Li Xiangqian shook his head twice in a row, which made her feel a little unhappy.
And she also wanted to test whether the handsome guy in front of her just cut out the sky-high-priced ice-type violet was just lucky, or whether he really had real talent and learning.
Seeing Li Xiangqian saying that this piece of material was worthless, Miss Huang was also a little unhappy.
So she immediately paid 500,000 RMB, and then ordered the shop owner to cut the stone on the spot. She wanted to show everyone in front of so many people that she, Huang Wanying, was not only the precious daughter of the gambling king Huang Wenjin, she was also a jade stone gambler.
