"Niuzi, I found that you shouldn't be a collector, you should be charity. Sun Wei jumped up angrily, and suddenly felt that I was very unreasonable.

I ignored Sun Wei, and I didn't pay attention to the boss next to me looking at him like an idiot.

The boss shook his head, "Young man, I just said, don't buy it, why don't you listen? Are you also crazy?"

I was a little annoyed and asked, "Boss, he's not crazy, he's just very obsessed with jadeite, and he's a little crazy." Besides, do you think I'm crazy?"

"Young man, I don't mean that you are stupid, but that you have been fooled, do you understand?" The boss was afraid that I would be angry, so he kindly reminded you and caused you trouble, and tried his best to explain.

I smiled and said, "Boss, my kindness tomorrow, I mean, his piece of jade, I think you can bet, I like it, it's not garbage, do you understand?"

"It's been cut, and although it has color and water, it's all cracked and collapsed. The boss thought I was a novice, and explained with a gesture.

"What do you mean, this piece of jade, can it still go up?" the boss looked me up and down incredulously, thinking more and more that I was a madman.

I saw through his mind and said, "So, boss, how much do you have to cut the stone here?" I want to borrow your stone cutter. ”

The boss was overjoyed, "Young man, come, I won't charge you money." If you can make this stone bloom into a good jadeite, not only do I not want your money, but I will also give you money. ”

I thought it was funny, didn't this give me money? But he didn't say much, and motioned for Sun Wei to follow and go to Kaishi together.

The owner's shop is not very big, compared with some big shops next to it, it looks a little shabby, the entrance hall is even more cold, there are no customers, no wonder I agreed to let me cut stones, it turned out to be to strengthen the lower façade.

"Young man, come on, come on, my shop is not very big, you cut this piece first, and when it's over, you can also come and cut my stone here." The owner greeted him warmly.

"Okay, boss, your shop is called Lao Dai Gambling Stone, you are a Dai clan, right?" I guessed when I saw him point to the handwritten sign at the door.

"Yes, I am from the Dai nationality and am from Dehong Dai Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan. Originally, my family was doing business in the jewelry city there, but now Kunming has a large population, and my family asked me to open a branch here, and I will pass by. However, you can also see, I don't know why, my business is not very good. "The owner was very hospitable.

"Is there anything delicious and fun?" Sun Wei became interested when he heard this, and asked.

The boss introduced: "It's not very far. Pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, I eat them all, insects also eat, often eat insects such as cicadas, bamboo insects, spiders, turtles, ant eggs, etc. ”

Listening to the boss's story, I was a little nauseated, although I knew that insects were very nutritious, but I really didn't dare to compliment, so I crossed out: "Boss, I haven't asked your surname yet." ”

"Just call me Lao Huang. The boss said as he made us tea.

"Cow, let's drive quickly, we have to choose a stone after cutting." Sun Wei urged, but it was obvious that he was very unoptimistic about this piece of jadeite.

I didn't speak, borrowed a flashlight from Lao Huang, and observed. To be honest, the judgment that this is a piece of Mocui is also doubtful, and from the facet, no matter how you look at it, it is not what Mocui looks like.

I concentrated my breath and observed the direction of the cracks in the shell, the horizontal and vertical lilies were staggered, and the stone cracks would not be less.

Suddenly, I saw a large crack that encircled the whole piece of jadeite, with sparse cracks on the top and a lot of pine flower bulges below, as if the jade was split in half.

"Brother Huang, help me turn off the machine, I'm ready to cut it." I beckoned.

Lao Huang was very quick to debug, I picked up the pen, drew on the stone, and prepared to go under the knife.

When the stone touched the stone, there was a screeching sound and sparks flew up.

"Hey, this stone is not bad. "I'm a little surprised, it seems that Lao Huang is very proficient in cutting stones, and he can know how hard it is just by listening to the sound.

It was a small stone, and I cut it for five minutes.

"Click", as half of the jadeite fell on the countertop, I finally cut the jadeite into two pieces.

Sun Wei quickly picked up the jade on the countertop, washed it with water, and exclaimed: "Damn, this is more over, don't care if there are cracks, it was a little green just now, now it's black, what is it." ”

I was shocked, black, isn't that Mocui?

"Show me. But before I could stretch out my hand, I was robbed by Lao Huang.

Lao Huang hit the lamp and said, "Alas, this is a rock, a variant, not even a jade." Then, he handed me the jadeite.

"What, the real stone?" I was also a little curious, so I picked it up and observed, and struck it with a flashlight, but it did not transmit the light at all, and my heart chuckled.

"It doesn't make sense. I said to myself.

I picked up the other half of the stone, which was also a black one, and habitually leaned on it with a flashlight, but my mind was still on the other half of the stone, and I didn't pay attention to the situation of this half of the stone.

"Niuzi, Niuzi!" Sun Wei shouted, startling me.

"You're scared to death. I complained, and then saw Sun Wei and Lao Huang's surprised expressions.

I looked down at the jade in my hand, and where the light was lit, it was an emerald green color!

"Mocui. Lao Huang said these two words in a hurry.

"What is Mo Cui?" asked Sun Wei.

Lao Huang explained: "This is it, when observed under natural light, the face is black, and the water is permeable and green. ”

Sun Wei didn't understand very well, and hurriedly flipped through the small book in his hand and read: "Mocui is a kind of jadeite, and the main mineral of Mocui is omphacite, containing a small amount of jadeite, sodium chromium pyroxene, albite, tremolite and other mineral components. ”

"Well, I really don't know when you copied so much content. I smiled wryly.

"Oh, I'm working hard, okay?" Sun Wei said with some smugness.

"You must be the kind of person who goes to school during the day, delays other classmates, and works hard to study hard at night. It's despicable. I laughed and cursed.

"Don't mess with me, I'll study. Sun Wei felt a little poked in the soft underbelly by me, "Look at the color: observe through the reflected light, the color is dark green or dark black. Look at the transparency and structure: the particles are tightly arranged, the texture is good, and the transparency is high. Look at the color distribution: black evenly, black shiny... No problem, this is Mocui!"

"This Mocui is a variant, and there is no crack, which means that the texture is very hard and the species is very old. Lao Huang was very professional, but Sun Wei was confused again, "What is a variant?"

I picked up the jadeite and said, "That's it, a piece of jadeite, but the quality is different." For example, this one, this side is full of cracks full of blast marks, and the back has become rock, and then look at the side I cut open, but it is Mocui, and there is no crack at all. That's the variant. ”
