Chapter Twenty-Four: I'll Choose a Piece Too
"Cut it, cut it!" Da Zhuang cheered, looking at the two jadeite petals vigorously, but it was obvious that he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad at all.
Nanli looked at her silently, and when he calmed down, he said, "Are you happy?"
Da Zhuang didn't understand what he meant, Nanli actually rushed up and smashed Da Zhuang with his small fist. "You idiot, you retarded, you have broken my grinding wheels, you could have cut several stones. "But that little grumbling appearance, I feel pity.
"Don't, don't hit me, I'll pay you, can't I compensate you. Da Zhuang quickly begged for mercy, and it seemed that his fist only dared to swing at his male compatriots. Well, compared to the shameless Zhen Xu, the great woman is I don't know how many times. When I think of him, my teeth itch with hatred.
Nanli was very happy with the victory, "It's pretty much the same, wash the stone and bring it to the table." Then he walked to the table with his hands behind his back, like an old gentleman.
Da Zhuang obeyed orders like a young man. Washing the jadeite, he couldn't hide his excitement and ran over, and said poorly: "Boss Nan, Teacher Nan, please give me the palm of your hand, look at it, is this considered green, I heard that the green jade is valuable..."
As the saying goes, these thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants. Facing the sugar-coated cannonball sent by Da Zhuang, Nanli ate all the sugar-coated shells, and then fired the cannonballs back. "Sit down. Although the tone was a bit harsh, it was clear that he was joking.
Da Zhuang played with Baolai, like a primary school student, sitting on the seat with his waist straight, and obediently putting his hands behind his back. Such a well-behaved appearance and his height and body shape form a huge contrast, and I think Da Zhuang is very cute.
Nanli sneered, but didn't say anything. Picked up the flashlight and observed, "This piece of jade water head is not bad." Nanli first gave a preliminary evaluation.
There is a saying in the gambling stone industry, which is called the insider to resist the water, and the layman to look at the color. This is true at all, and it should be for these two people.
"What does it mean that this head is good?" asked me if I knew some gambling stones, but I probably didn't understand some technical terms thoroughly.
"The head of water can be roughly understood in this way, referring to the degree of transparency of jadeite. It is often described as long, short, good, and poor. The transparency is high if the head is long and the head is full, and the transparency is low if the head is short and the head is poor. There is also a saying that there are two points of water, divided into one point of water, two points of water, three points of water, when the light hits the surface of the jadeite, the depth that can enter the interior can be divided into: 3.3mm depth for one point of water, 6.6mm depth for two points of water, 9.9mm depth for three points of water. Corresponding to this, it is the glutinous and ice species of jadeite. Glass species. Of course, these quantified numbers are also imaginary numbers. Nanli introduced it in simple terms.
"Then my water head is good, that's what ice seed means!" Da Zhuang thought delusionally.
"How can the ice seed be so easy, but the glutinous seed must be there, looking at this transmittance, it is possible that the finished product can have the feeling of the glutinous ice seed. Nanli rolled her eyes widely.
I looked at the two pieces of cut jadeite seriously, very seriously, and found that there were some white coarse particles on them, so I asked, "Nanli, what are those white spots?"
"Big eyes are big to see things clearly. Nanli smiled, "These things are called cotton, a common feature in jadeite. Many people think that good jadeite is without cotton. ”
Da Zhuang heard that his jade was not good, interrupted Nanli's words, and shouted, "Who is!"
Nanli was taken aback, "Da Zhuang, do you know how to do it or not?" Indeed, even if it is a glass species, there is cotton, but our naked eyes can't see it, if you use a magnifying glass, you can see that there is also cotton in the glass jadeite. The saying that no cotton is not a jade is very true. And cotton is also a unique structure of jadeite, which is the symbol of natural jade. ”
"Hehe, that's it, Lao Tzu's jade is good. Da Zhuang smirked.
I admire the five-body throw again, this guy didn't mean that good jadeite also has cotton, but he couldn't hear that his jadeite was not good. Nanli's classmates also completely collapsed.
"Do the fly wings on the skin shell correspond to the thickness of the flesh on the jade meat, and does it have anything to do with the cotton?" I asked curiously.
"Finally there is a clear word. It's really better to fight with people who understand, than to say a word to people who are confused. Nanli said.
I wonder how such a Yunnan girl learned so much afterwords.
"Da Zhuang, don't be happy. This piece of jadeite of yours, although the water head is good, is a little tender, the flesh is coarse, although there is a bit of background color, but the color is not right. Nanli poured a basin of cold water on it.
This sentence was so powerful that it knocked Da Zhuang from heaven to the ground, and he was not so excited.
"Nanli, I'll take a look. "After more than ten years of study, I know that only by combining the knowledge and practice in the book can I better integrate and apply what I have learned.
These two pieces of jadeite, the facet performance is almost identical, as if carved out of a mold, under the incandescent light, the color of the jadeite is somewhat green, but the tone is biased to blue-gray. If you look closely, you can see a large graininess with the naked eye, indicating that the meat is rough. I sighed that Nanli was right.
"A glutinous jadeite. The voice in my head came back to me, very clear, but there was no headache.
"Hey, it looks like that's all for this jadeite. "I was a little disappointed, after all, it was the first time I had experienced gambling stones.
I said this without any scruples about the feelings of the strong. As soon as these words came out, it was like a death sentence for this piece of jadeite.
"It's over now, is there no chance?" Da Zhuang asked.
"This piece of jadeite, the two pieces are basically the same, and the probability of variant is not large. In other words, both sides behave like this. But don't be discouraged, fortunately, the price you bought this stone is very right, so it is not a loss. If it is processed, it can also make good jewelry. Nanli comforted.
I understood that Nanli wanted to take care of Da Zhuang's emotions, and also helped to say, "This jade can't be made without cutting." I think in the hands of a carver, this stone can be turned into a good work of art. ”
When I saw the big strong cut stone, my hands itched unbearably. "That Nanli, I want to gamble too. ”
Nanli looked at me curiously, "The gambling stone is really magical, you can pick whatever you want, I'll go to the rest meeting." ”
I said yes and went to choose among the piles of jadeite rough.
Suddenly, a strange stone came into view--- an earthy yellow rough stone, the size of a palm, knife-like lines, and uneven leather shells.
"The jade at the mouth of the Moxi sand field, the ice species yellow jade fluttering blue flowers. The voice in my head sounded again, and this time, the long-lost headache returned. With my previous experience, I knew it was a baby!
I shook my head and tried to control my headache, but beads of sweat rolled down. At this moment, hatred welled up in my heart, and I gritted my teeth. The heart says, endure!
