Chapter 501: Blood

Seeing this, Hu Yang smiled: "It's only two hundred yuan, if you like it, you can get it, you won't suffer anyway." ”

Originally, everyone didn't care about Lu Daqiang's words, after all, what does this tease understand?

However, even Brother Hu said this, everyone was slightly surprised, and looked at the tortoise shell again, especially Teacher Ren, after all, the thing was put down from his hand.

If this tortoiseshell is worth something, then he's a bit of a slap in the face.

Lu Daqiang was excited, and asked excitedly: "Brother Hu, doesn't this tortoise shell say that it is not an old object, why is it valuable?"

"Don't you see the difference?" Hu Yang asked rhetorically, making him think.

Teacher Ren also stared at it for a while, only to realize that he had made a mistake, never expected that this tortoise shell itself was a treasure. But this color is also relatively rare, and the average tortoiseshell should be yellow.

Andy also thought of a possibility: "This can't be a tortoiseshell, right? ”

They saw that the carbon black on the tortoiseshell had been wiped off, revealing a shining sheen, and in the sun, it shone with blood. This blood-colored tortoise shell is the first time many people have seen it.

"It's a tortoiseshell, and it's a blood-colored tortoiseshell, alas! Teacher Ren said regretfully.

Like ivory and rhinoceros horn, hawksbill turtle is an organic gemstone. The famous poem "Peacock Flying Southeast" in the Han Dynasty has the verse "Silk shoes under the feet, tortoiseshell light on the head".

In fact, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China began to use tortoiseshell turtles throughout the feudal era, and until now, tortoiseshell is still a valuable organic gemstone that is very popular.

Tortoiseshell scale material is rare, the texture is crystal clear, the pattern is clear and beautiful, the color is soft and bright, and the craft jewelry made of it is dazzling, the treasure is magnificent, and the taste is noble and elegant.

In the eyes of Oriental people, the tortoiseshell has been a symbol of auspicious longevity and evil spirits since ancient times, and has won the love of royal nobles, wealthy families and even the general public.

For example, the Tang Dynasty empress Wu Zetian used tortoiseshell bracelets and earrings; The people of the Song Dynasty were even more fond of tortoiseshell, and they once imitated the pattern and color of the tortoiseshell shell, and created and fired the real tortoiseshell black glazed porcelain; During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the use of tortoiseshell products seems to have been more common. From the jewelry worn by the concubines in the palace, to the study of the literati and scholars.

In fact, not only in China, but also in the West, hawksbill turtles have a wide history of use.

Tortoiseshell was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans to make jewelry such as combs, brushes, and rings, and the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans would inlay the tortoiseshell on furniture. Many exquisite tortoiseshell vessels have been found in Han Dynasty ruins and Egyptian tombs during the Nubian era.

Populus euphratica told them that hawksbill turtles are generally brownish-yellow, and there are also completely golden yellow, which are more precious, and that blood is the rarest and must be the most precious.

Some people say that Jinjia is better than half blood, and that is all business speculation. In addition to the knockout blood, how can the normal old turtle be cheaper than the new turtle!

"This tortoise shell doesn't look big, but it's a tortoise shell left over from an old tortoise, and you can see the thickness of the tortoise shell. Hu Yang said.

Many hawksbill turtle products on the market are almost made from the shell of new turtles, and it is rare to see old turtles.

Generally speaking, to reach the thickness of the tortoise shell in front of you, you need to be more than 500 years old. Tortoiseshell turtles live a long lifespan, lasting one or two thousand years.

"However, in the case of blood, we have to pay attention to the blood that is very thick, even to the point of black. It's better not to do that, they are usually thought to be caused, beating the live turtle to death, and letting the blood fill the inside of the tortoise shell. This blood material is cruel and of low value. Hu Yang added.

Teacher Ren looked at it for a while and sighed, "It's a pity. ”

"What is a pity?" Lu Daqiang asked nervously.

Now, this tortoiseshell tortoiseshell has become the thing he cares about the most, and your "pity" can scare him out of a cold sweat, and he is most afraid of this kind of turning point.

"Tortoiseshells are very afraid of fire, and they can't soak in hot water. This piece ......"

Yes, you don't need to go on, you understand. Lu Daqiang was even more distressed, and finally came across a treasure! Who is it? Not only roasted with fire, but also carved a few symbols on it, making wool!

At this moment, Lu Daqiang had the urge to hit people.

But Hu Yang said: "No, this tortoiseshell has not been burned. These traces of carbon black are actually smeared. The tortoiseshell that has been burned by the fire, it is not like this, it should be ......"

Populus euphratica explained, but it was still a pity, because someone carved on it, which also seriously affected the tortoiseshell value of this tortoiseshell.

"But no matter what, it's only two hundred yuan, no matter how you look at it, it's a lot of money!" Hu Yang said.

Lu Daqiang immediately asked, "Brother Hu, how much else can it be worth?"

"If it's sold directly, it's about 30,000 or 50,000 yuan! But if it is processed into a product, it is not much difficult to make it more than 100,000 yuan. "Of course, if you want to ask someone to process it, the processing fee will definitely not be less, and it will be troublesome and time-consuming.

What's more, Lu Daqiang doesn't know anyone who can process this kind of thing, and there is no way, even if he buys it, he will definitely sell it directly.

Lu Daqiang didn't say a word, hurriedly scanned the QR code on the stall, paid two hundred yuan, and took down the tortoiseshell shell.

"Brother Hua, this ......" Lu Daqiang embarrassedly discussed with Andy.

He didn't dare to trouble Brother Hu for everything, so he had to trouble Andy. Usually watching live broadcasts, other people pick up ordinary treasures, and they all change hands to Andy, and then Andy can also earn a little.

Andy did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take it, Brother Hu said thirty or fifty thousand, then we compromise, how about forty thousand?"

"Okay, good!" Lu Daqiang stuffed the tortoiseshell to Andy.

40,000 yuan, if he works in a factory, how long will it take him to earn this money?

His previous salary, that is, between 3,000 and 5,000, depends on whether there are many orders from the factory, and he can earn about 5,000 when he is busy, and about 3,000 when he is free, with an average of 4,000.

Then, the salary is only more than 50,000 yuan a year, and after deducting some of his own expenses, he can leave 40,000 yuan already saved.

In other words, these 40,000 yuan is equivalent to being busy in the factory for a year.

At this moment, he was very lucky that he resigned and came out to hang out with Brother Hu for a few days.

Teacher Ren has a look of remorse, and he doesn't take it seriously enough! Isn't it a shame to lose his age? I can only comfort myself, some things really can't be forced, and there is no time to force it!

Ye Mei is envious, she will be envious of whoever makes money.

Jealousy came up, Ye Mei pulled a handful of orange cat ears that were eating her small dried fish, and scolded: "Foodie, you know how to eat." ”
