Volume 1: The Journey of the Jade Rough Chapter 31: Jade doesn't deceive people, only people deceive people!
Yang Hao took out the food from the food box and put it on the chair in front of the bed.
Chen Song looked at the food on the chair, couldn't help but move his index finger, and devoured it.
After sending Yang Hao out of the room after eating, Chen Song immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and running the Zhongyuan Jiuhai Inner Gong Method.
The sun is setting and night is falling.
The night was deep, the people were quiet, and the cool breeze blew in through the windows......
The slightly cool wind of the evening slid through Chen Song's ears and ruffled the hair on his head.
Is there really no hope of recovery?
Chen Song ran the Zhongyuan Jiuhai Inner Strength Method, and after trying again and again, his heart was like a tree, and all thoughts were lost!
Due to the loss of vitality in the body, the meridians and blood around the body are stagnant and blocked, and even the meridians are slightly damaged.
Coupled with the strong shock on the boulder at that time, the meridians of the whole body were in a state of atrophy, resulting in the sea of qi in the body now drying up, completely in a closed state, and there was no response!
There is a serious shortage of qi and blood in the twelve meridians on the body, and the yin spirit in the eight veins is also closed and not opened!
Even if you run the Zhongyuan Jiuhai Inner Gong Mind Method to exhale, it will have no effect at all!
The sea of qi in a closed state can't convert the energy of life at all, let alone accumulate it!
The breath of life in the air was directly spit out after being absorbed into the sea of air, without the slightest stay.
Even when I breathe deeply, I obviously feel a feeling of swelling and pain in the sea of qi, and when I exhale, I also feel dizziness and tinnitus.
Sixteen years of penance were completely ruined!
Chen Song's face was dead, and he looked out the window with empty eyes.......
In the dark of the night, there is not a single light in sight.
Just stared blankly, motionless, as if it were a wooden man, and like a sculpture......
Until the tiredness on his body hit him for a while, his body was so weak that he shook a little, and the whole person's spirit was also in a trance.
He just lay down, stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt, covering his head, and the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes gradually wet the quilt.
I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep in a daze.
............
Chen Song...... Chen Song, get up and eat!"
Yang Hao's shout came from his ears.
Chen Song opened his reddish eyes in a drowsy manner, and the sun shone on his eyes from the window, so that he couldn't help but reach out to block the dazzling light, and it took a while for his eyes to get used to it.
"What time is it?"
Chen Song felt that the temperature of the sun shining on his face was very hot, and asked out loud.
"It's already noon! In the morning, I saw that you were sleeping too deeply, and I shouted a few times, and when I saw that you didn't respond, I let you continue to sleep!"
Yang Hao took out the food from the food box and placed it on the chair.
"It's noon?!"
Chen Song was shocked!
This body is now weakened like this?
Can't even wake up when you shout?!
"Yes, get up and eat, after eating, follow me to the master in the afternoon!"
Seeing that Chen Song was still sitting on the bed, Yang Hao picked up the shoes on the ground and put them on Chen Song's feet.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to sleep for so long!"
Chen Song, who reacted, hurriedly rejected Yang Hao's kindness, snatched the shoes and put them on himself.
I'm not at the level of a wasted person who needs help when I put on shoes!
Meal.
Chen Song and Yang Hao walked through the original stone pile in the courtyard and entered a small courtyard next to it.
The courtyard is not big, but it is very simple.
There are also many piles of rough stones around the precincts, but they have not been cut yet, and some of the rough stones have white lines painted on them.
In the middle of the courtyard there is a stone table with some flashlights and pencils on it.
"Master, I brought Chen Song here. ”
Yang Hao shouted at a pile of rough stones.
Behind a pile of rough stones, Liu Yanyan, who was wearing a Tang costume, smiled at Chen Song and said, "Xiaoyou is here, wait for me for a while!"
After speaking, the figure disappeared in the pile of raw stones.
Chen Song curiously walked behind the pile of rough stones where Liu Yiyan was hidden.
I saw Liu Yiyan holding a flashlight and shining back and forth on a rough stone on the ground.
After half ringing.
Liu Yiyan put down the flashlight, picked up a pen and drew a few white lines on the rough stone.
After Liu finished painting at a glance, Chen Song asked curiously, "Master Liu, who are you?"
"Oh, this is to mark the rough stone, and when the time comes, they will just cut according to the line I draw!"
Liu Yiyan got up and put the flashlight and pen on the stone table in the middle of the small courtyard.
And said to Chen Song and Yang Hao behind him: "You come with me." ”
Walking to a bungalow on the side of the small courtyard, Liu Yanyan pushed open the door and took the lead in walking in.
Chen Song, who followed Liu Yiyan into the bungalow, was shocked by what came into view!
I saw that the room was full of iron shelves, and the shelves were full of jadeite wool: there were rough stones, some slices, densely packed, and crowded.
In the middle there is a huge glass cabinet full of processed jadeite: there are ornaments, there are bracelets, there are pendants, there are rings......
Varied, colorful......
The sunlight that came in through the windows filled the whole house with golden yellow.
The jade under the sun's rays is colorful, exuding bursts of pearls, and the whole room is a brilliant and super eye-catching!
"These are jadeite samples collected over the years!"
Liu Yiyan was very satisfied with Chen Song and Yang Hao's shocked expressions.
These jadeite samples have been collected since he was a child, from rough stones to flakes to finished products, in order to have a systematic classification and research.
This time, I brought all the samples over for the convenience of teaching Yang Hao.
The samples here are not all the types of jadeite, but they are also inseparable!
As long as it is a jadeite name that can be said, whether it is a rough stone or a finished product, there are some of them here, including dragon stone species!
These samples took him almost a lifetime of hard work to collect, and they are arguably the proudest thing in his life!
"Samples?!"
Chen Song slightly withdrew his gaze that was attracted by the jade.
"Yes, it's all samples!"
Liu Yiyan was very proud in his heart.
This kind of sample, which is representative of almost the entire jadeite species study, is not a collection of all of them.
"This ...... That's too much, isn't it?"
Chen Song was very surprised in his heart, this dense room of jadeite was almost full of samples!
"Not much at all! There are many kinds of jadeite itself, and there are thirty-six waters, seventy-two beans, and one hundred and eight blue colors at the bottom of the water alone, and the changes are very complicated, and I have only collected some of them here!"
Although he said this, anyone could see the proud expression on Liu Yiyan's face.
"Master, is it possible that we can easily identify the jadeite as long as we figure out the thirty-six waters, seventy-two beans, and one hundred and eight blues?"
Yang Hao seemed a little impatient.
Liu Yiyan smiled and said: "Definitely not! This statement is actually the language of the Huaxia Kingdom in the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as the Tiandihui and the Hongbang, and it was used to compare the water color and seed bottom of jadeite, which only illustrates the complexity of the change in the quality of jadeite." ”
"To borrow the saying of 36 Tiangang, 72 Earth, and a total of 108 Tianhe and Tianhe, it is not to divide the 36 waters, 72 beans, and 108 blues of jadeite for us to identify. ”
Yang Hao scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said: "....... too, jadeite is so complicated, if it is so easy to identify, there will be no saying that it is difficult for immortals to break jade." ”
Liu Yiyan smiled and said: "It is just a folk saying that the gods are difficult to break the inch jade, and for those of us who eat this line of food, it is difficult to say that the identification of jadeite is difficult to say, and it is easy to say!"
"Do you know why you call us Xiangyushi?"
Liu glanced at Chen Song and Yang Hao, and suddenly asked.
"Xiangyu is a technology, but also a science, is the foundation of the jadeite business, and the person who distinguishes jade is also called Xiangyu master!" Yang Hao replied a little excitedly.
Liu Yiyan nodded and continued to ask: "There are so many people engaged in jade business, so why are there so few Xiangyu masters?"
"This ......."
Yang Hao didn't know how to answer for a while.
Oh, yes!
Including jade merchants from jade mining to jade sellers, there are so many people dealing in jadeite during this period, how many people must be involved in the whole process?
In such a huge group, why are there so few Xiangyu masters?
Seeing Chen Song also looking at himself with a puzzled expression, Liu Yiyan explained: "Because most people can't fully understand the jade rough at all, they naturally can't judge what the rough stone is like!"
"Most people in the outside world for the jadeite rough cut after the rise and fall, whether it is to understand some jadeite, or not to understand jadeite, as long as the situation in the jadeite rough is not fully sure, to use luck to guess, it is no different from gambling, like Huaxia is very popular to bet on jadeite rough!"
"But for us Xiangyu Master, there has never been such a thing as gambling!"
"Master Liu, you said that there is no gambling on this jadeite rough, since its value can be distinguished by the Xiangyu master in the mining area, then after these jadeite rough stones flow out of the mine, aren't the people who buy them all lose?"
Hearing Liu Yiyan's words, Chen Song was very puzzled.
"Ha! Chen Song, you don't know anything, whether it is a whole piece of rough stone in the mining area or a piece of rough stone that has been cut, when it flows out, it is sold to jade merchants according to the corresponding wool price in the market, so those who buy it will only make money and will not lose money!"
Yang Hao looked at Chen Song from the side and continued:
"After roughly estimating the value of the whole batch of jade materials, the mining area directly sells them to the jade merchants, and the jade merchants can start to earn the difference in the middle, for example, the jade merchants take them back and process them for retail, or add some price to this batch of wool and then resell it to others, because the consumption level of each country and region is different, so there is a lot of profit margin in each link!"
Liu Yiyan also opened his mouth and added: "Yang Hao is right, because we don't have the conditions for processing here, so we can only sell jade materials, but if the jade merchant resells the jade materials obtained from the mine a few times, the person who takes over may not be able to make money!"
"I understand, which means that every time this jade material changes hands, it will be sold at a corresponding high price, and the value of the jade material itself is fixed, and the person who buys it in the end may lose money!"
Chen Song finally understood.
To put it bluntly, this jadeite rough stone starts from the mining process and ends with finished products for retail, and each link has a corresponding profit.
Once too many times change hands in a certain link, it will cause the last person to take over to spend far more money than the value of the jadeite, which will cause a loss.
"Yes, it's like beating a drum to pass flowers, which is why jade merchants like to buy jade in the mining area directly, if the jade is not bought in the first few hands, there will be basically no profit or loss!
Liu glanced at Chen Song and Yang Hao and continued:
"Rather than saying that jade is a technology, it is also a science! We must use scientific methods, combined with practical experience to identify jadeite, in order to minimize the risk after cutting, in the long-term operation of jadeite, the winner is actually an expert!"
"Only by judging the situation after cutting through the appearance of the original stone can you be called a jade master, otherwise it is a gambling stone!"
Speaking of this, Liu Yiyan couldn't help but raise his voice a few points, and said to Chen Song and Yang Hao with a serious face:
"Jade will never deceive people, only people will deceive people! You have to remember that the three words Xiangyushi represent being responsible for jade and people, do you understand?!"
