"That's why I said it would be best to let him go, so as not to delay my progress in investigating the rough stones."
"As for apologizing..." Meng Yan smiled.
"I just said what I was thinking, and I didn't mean to slander him or do anything harmful. What should I apologize for?"
"You kid!" Yang Baifeng was so angry that his beard was trembling.
"Okay, I'm not leaving today! I want to see how many three-legged cat abilities you have in this yellow-haired boy!"
Meng Yan's face remained calm, but there was some surprise in his heart.
It was indeed Meng Yan's inner thoughts to say that they should not let a Burmese come to help them look at the stones, but the words that aroused the old man's emotions were what Meng Yan said after thinking about it.
I just heard this old man reveal his identity as the chief Xiang Yushi of the northern Myanmar caravan, and before that he said that one of their people had received favors from the Xia Kingdom.
With such a relationship, Meng Yan guessed that although the old man came to help Captain Wu look at the stones, the relationship between the two organizations was definitely not that simple.
If Meng Yan expected, an organization like the caravan can collect countless information by traveling all over the country. Although network experts like Zhou Yaoyao can integrate information on the Internet, many important information is spread directly through word of mouth, which is not possible at all.
It will not be posted online.
It is estimated that the caravan also has a lot of information cooperation with this place.
As for this old man, after just such a test, Meng Yan immediately figured out his temper.
This kind of person is straightforward, values morality, and disdains tricks. Especially in old age, he will cherish his reputation very much.
Most people in the world make a balancing act between being reasonable and being humane. There is only a small group of people who either only value humanity or only respect logic.
And this old man is one of those few people who only believe in truth.
Meng Yan casually picked up the rough stone on the table that Yang Baifeng had just thrust into Captain Wu's hand in a fit of anger, raised it in front of his eyes and said.
"The Muna gray placer, with sandy gray with black and elephant skin, is the rough stone unearthed from the second-layer jadeite vein that was excavated in Muna in 2006. Although this kind of rough stone cannot be said to be found nine times out of ten, it exceeds the
There is a half chance that there will be something green inside."
"But it's a pity that the rough stone in your hand is a kilogram of material that has been polished. The old elephant skin is just the surface after polishing. This rough stone is a piece of waste."
After Meng Yan finished speaking, he threw the rough stone in his hand back into the pile of rough stones: "Of course, even if the jadeite mine on the second floor of Muna is not old elephant skin, it is very troublesome to process. The piece just now was not mixed with flour, and only one piece was not mixed with flour.
Large and small jadeite.”
After Meng Yan finished speaking, he picked up another rough stone and put it in his hand.
"Ma cut the field entrance, blue sand skin jade, this kind of rough stone produced at the entrance can deceive fat sheep, because in most cases the rough stones inside are covered with pine flowers. Beginners will want to bloom as soon as they see the pine flowers.
The window is green."
"And the situation is just as they thought. When the window is opened, you can often see very good water materials of this kind of rough stone, and its value will skyrocket in a short time."
"But the rough stones in this mouth are notoriously easy to change color among knowledgeable people. You can see very high-quality goods when cleaning the surface, but the color inside is easy to lose shape when you cut it. It can only be used to fool novices.
"
After saying that, Meng Yan placed the rough stone in his hand on the table and looked at Yang Baifeng.
After hearing what Meng Yan said, Yang Baifeng was seen stroking his beard and snorting coldly.
"Haha, it seems that I underestimated you just now? From what you said, you should be a young man who knows a lot, at least not a charlatan."
"But it's still far behind compared to me. I've been looking at rough stones for most of my life, and I've seen more materials than you have ever seen. If you want to be better than me, your skills are still far behind!"
Meng Yan smiled: "No, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Looking at sand skin is just the basic skill of a physiognomist. How does Mr. Yang know that I am just a physiognomist who can only look at the surface?"
Hearing Meng Yan's words, Yang Baifeng knew that Meng Yan meant something, and mocked him for judging that Meng Yan was uneducated based on his youth and could only look at the surface but not the inside, so he couldn't help but said angrily.
"Young kid, no one has dared to talk to me like this for twenty years. Since you're only looking at the surface when you laugh at me, that's fine!"
Yang Baifeng pointed to the rough stone on the table and said: "Let's talk about the rough stone you picked. If you can see what's inside this rough stone, I won't argue with you today and will help you to check it together."
These ingredients!”
Meng Yan smiled and shook his head: "Captain Wu put a lot of effort into inviting you here, and you were originally asked to inspect these stones. The person who rejected Captain Wu was you. Inspecting these materials is what you should do, but you actually
To use this matter as a bet is really ridiculous."
Yang Baifeng was furious: "Yellow-haired boy, what do you want?!"
Wang Jianyi on the side also pulled Meng Yan's sleeves and whispered.
"Meng Yan, since Old Wu can invite him, it means that the cooperation with them must be more than one or two points. Don't offend them all. We must have clues in our hands and need to rely on the caravan behind him."
Meng Yan nodded: "Don't worry, Captain Wang, I have a sense of discretion."
After saying that, Meng Yan took a step forward, pointed at the rough stone behind and said.
"Why don't you do this, Mr. Yang? We are both here to check the rough stones today anyway, so how about we just make a bet?"
"I wonder how many rough stones you have found hiding flour just now?"
Yang Baifeng snorted coldly: "I came here to see the stones at the invitation of Captain Wu two days ago. I have stayed here without going out for the past two days."
"The way of hiding flour in these rough stones is just a low-level method called 'sand leather cover', which can only deceive laymen. I have been looking at stones for so many years, and I can easily touch this kind of sand leather that has been tampered with."
Find out the clues!"
"In the past two days, I don't have a detailed count, but I have found at least two to three hundred pieces of sand leather sheaths. I have verified that there are no problems, and there are at least two thousand more!"
Meng Yan smiled slightly and looked at Captain Wu aside.
"Captain Wu, you should have statistics. I wonder how many sand leather cases Mr. Yang has found in the past two days?"
Captain Wu was a shrewd man and kept these data directly in his mind. Before the colleagues guarding the room could get the statistics, Captain Wu blurted out.
"By the time I came out to greet you, Mr. Yang had already found 286 sand leather cases with flour hidden inside, and the rough stones in several rooms had been inspected."
Meng Yan nodded, then looked at Yang Baifeng and said.
