490 Cat Bucket
Xu Wen's first choice was actually a relatively simple stone.
Limestone and quartz placer are accompanied, although the color is relatively close, but one left and one right, the boundary is actually clear.
Most of the stone conditions here are a little more complicated.
For example, the basalt over there is a combination of two different basalts, and some orthorhombic stones are wrapped in it, and the situation is very complicated.
Basalt itself has many pores, is very brittle, and is easy to fragment, and it is very difficult to separate the timber.
Xu Wen took the simplest tools and kept drawing, calculating, pondering, and processing the stones.
Before he knew it, he was so obsessed with it that he completely forgot where he was and who else was around.
Uncle Meng was not in a hurry, he changed from standing to squatting, and just nestled next to him to watch him work.
If Xu Wen is distracted at this time, he will definitely ask: Aren't you a porter, is it really okay to throw the door like this?
However, Xu Wen was very focused, and the surrounding stones were broken down one by one, fast or slow, but each piece was solved very cleanly, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, and there is no ambiguity at all.
To be honest, if Uncle Meng didn't actually know the roots of these stones, and he saw Xu Wen solve them with his own eyes, he might have thought that they were like this.
"Tut, 20,000 stones, if you solve them like this, you can turn them into 200,000, maybe it's more than that!" Uncle Meng looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak.
The price of ordinary miscellaneous stone and finished material stone is definitely different, and the difference is very large.
Xu Wen's hand turned waste into treasure, which was even better than Uncle Meng thought.
Xu Wen didn't raise his head, as if he hadn't heard it at all—maybe he really hadn't heard it.
Ordinary people will feel a little uncomfortable when they see that what they have just sold has multiplied tenfold in an instant.
Uncle Meng didn't, he habitually looked at the sky, thought it was wrong, looked down at his watch again, went out and brought in two boxed lunches.
"Come and have a bite to eat, and then move on. He raised his voice and asked Xu.
Xu Wen didn't raise his head, as if he hadn't heard it at all.
Uncle Meng has never seen a person who has focused to this extent......
But it's noon, so you can't skip a meal.
Uncle Meng shook his head, ready to walk over and pat him on the shoulder and call him.
As a result, he bent down, and an extremely terrible and angry cat meow penetrated from the outside, Xu Wen looked up sharply and shouted, "Qiuqiu!"
I can't even take care of eating, and I still think about my cat?
Uncle Meng's expression was slightly strange, and when he saw Xu Wen standing up, he wiped his hands casually and walked out, calling his cat's name as he walked.
As a result, after a while, the elf-like little black cat ran in, wrapping around Xu Wen's legs, very affectionate.
"You're alright. Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief and picked it up and put it on his shoulder, "Didn't you call it?
Xu Wen suddenly remembered the raccoon cat outside, and his expression was instantly strange, "I'll go out for a while." He turned his head and said a word to Uncle Meng, and walked out with the ball on his shoulder.
Uncle Meng was also a little curious, and followed behind with a boxed lunch.
They went outside and saw the leashed tanuki. When it came in just now, it was still lazily lying on its stomach, like an old dog basking in the sun. Now it was on its feet, walking around the stone that held it to it, its hair blowing up, and occasionally lowering its head to bite the rope around its neck, as if it was eager to break free and fight.
"Who messed with it?" Uncle Meng was very strange.
They didn't have anyone else here except Xu Wen, and no one would make it angry.
"It's you, Qiuqiu. Xu Wen said firmly, carrying the back of Qiuqiu's neck and carrying it to the tanuki cat.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw Qiuqiu, the tanuki cat became even more angry, opening its teeth and claws, and roaring loudly.
Qiuqiu didn't panic or scream, one twisted and jumped down from Xu Wen's hand, approached the tanuki cat and waved his paws, and ran away when it was about to rush over, and so on, and never got tired of it.
The tanuki is not free like it, it is tethered on a rope and has a limited range of motion.
At this time, it really had the intention to kill the enemy and was powerless, and it roared at the ball, and the roar became louder and louder, almost a roar.
"You cat...... It's really ......" Uncle Meng was stunned and said helplessly.
"There is no way to teach the son, and I am ashamed to be ashamed. Xu Wen was also a little embarrassed.
He bent down to pick up Qiuqiu back, and Qiuqiu screamed twice in a soft voice, licking / his fingers, as if it had nothing to do with it.
The tanuki cat was even more angry, and the hair on its neck and tail exploded, scratching and biting the rope around its neck, and swore not to give up.
"Vincy, Vincy!" There was a small building next to the warehouse, Uncle Meng called at the small building twice, and after a while, a young girl in her twenties ran out.
"What's the matter, boss?" "Hey, why is Da Chun so angry?" she asked curiously.
"Go open a can for it and appease it. Uncle Meng waved at her and commanded.
"Oh, good!" The girl turned around, and Uncle Meng turned around and met Xu Wen's gaze.
"So you're the boss here?" asked Xu Wen, touching the back of Qiuqiu's neck hair.
"Why, the boss can't sit in the concierge?" Uncle Meng asked rhetorically.
"Of course not. ”
"It's just a small stone factory, what boss is not the boss. ”
"That's not ...... either"
Xu Wen remembered that the Tianhe stone, Baiyun marble, etc. in that warehouse, although they were not gemstones, they were all high-grade stones, and these alone could be worth a lot of money.
As soon as the two cats were interrupted like this, Xu Wen left his work for the time being, and he could have a boxed lunch with Uncle Meng, Boss Meng.
Although he has a five-star stone factory, Boss Meng eats no different from Xu Wen, holding a big pot of dishes and snoring and eating very deliciously.
At first, Xu Wen got up and turned his head, and saw him standing next to him with a boxed lunch, and he thought that the other party was going to say something to him.
As a result, Boss Meng buried his head in eating and didn't say a word, until he finished eating, he wiped his mouth, raised his head, and said, "You can show me the rough stone over there." ”
He was referring to the pile of rough jadeite next to the bush.
"Solve it now?" Xu asked.
"Yes. Boss Meng said affirmatively.
Xu Wen didn't understand what he meant.
He really didn't buy these piles of rough stones.
On the contrary, he had checked them before. Just like Boss Meng said, after they were recovered, most of them were unraveled and seen, but they were not too completely solved.
They have been placed here for so many years, and they have been dismantled, if anything would have been discovered a long time ago, so Xu Wen didn't think about it at all.
The value of this pile of rough stones to him is to expand the database of identification.
"Okay. "It's just a succession, you always have to unravel and experience it. Since Boss Meng asked for this, Xu Wen did not refuse, put away the empty lunch box, and walked to the side of the pile of rough stones.
There are not many records about the jadeite rough in Qin Lianying's notes.
Ancient China admired mutton fat jade, liked the clean and quiet feeling of jade, and thought that jade was like a gentleman.
Jadeite is jadeite, a type of gemstone that is best used for emeralds, but like other gemstones, it is an alternative to jewelry and does not give it much meaning.
There are relatively more records about the white jade rough in Qin Lianying's notes, and about jadeite, only mention the production in the Yongchang area, and there is no more detailed introduction.
In modern times, jadeite and jadeite rough have almost become an urban legend, and the positive and negative examples of gambling stones to get rich are all stories that people talk about.
Xu Wen's understanding of the jadeite rough came from here, and he could vaguely recognize the black-brown black sand leather shell, and the yellow-white one was either Pakang skin or Gang skin, all of which were the legendary old pit rough stones, and nothing else could be recognized.
But he didn't expect anything, and he didn't care too much, so he picked up a piece casually, put it in his hand and felt it, thought about it, took out his mobile phone again, and began to look up information and observe at the same time.
"The texture of the leather shell is relatively fine, it is a Hpakant skin. Xu Wen checked it and muttered to himself.
"Are you not familiar with this?" Boss Meng saw it next to him and asked directly.
"Well, Master didn't teach. Xu Wen admitted.
"The old craft does not teach jadeite...... Well, it's normal. Boss Meng said.
He is very familiar with the old craft.
He didn't speak again, and saw Xu Wen start to dissolve the stone.
Modern decomposition of jadeite uses a special unloading machine, usually electric, that can neatly cut the rough stone into stone chips. Novices are afraid of hurting the jade in the stone, so they use more grinding wheels to slowly grind off the shell little by little.
Xu Wen used the old method of traditional craftsmen, using hammers and chisels to knock off the outer stone skin little by little, revealing the stone flesh inside.
The stone crust of jadeite is a secondary organism that is gradually derived from the surface of the mineral and the surrounding soil and sand layer, and fuses with the mineral in one layer.
Of course, they do not appear all at once, but layer by layer, slowly covering them.
The old and the new are different, and the degree of mineral infiltration is different, and the layers are naturally divided between the stone skins.
Xu Wen did not knock hard like an ordinary craftsman, but went with the flow, "peeling off" them layer by layer according to the original level of the stone skin.
Originally, the shells looked as if they were one, but now that Xu Wen knocked them lightly, they peeled off in large chunks. Everything was so logical and pleasant, Boss Meng narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but take out another cigarette.
Before the cigarette could be lit, his hand suddenly stopped.
There was a strange light in the depths of the stone flesh, moist and translucent, and it was beautiful.
Boss Meng didn't have any surprise on his face, only glanced at it lightly, and immediately turned his head and looked at Xu Wen.
At this time, Xu Wen also happened to turn his head and looked at him.
