Chapter 71: What kind of green is Imperial Green?

"Ceramics are made from soil, but it is the art of fire that realizes its true value. Moreover, the original traits were changed by fire. Although the bronze ware is also smelted by fire, the gold properties have not changed in the slightest, but only the shape has been changed. ”

"Brother Gaojian!" Zhong Yu kept a smile on his face, "However, even if ceramics correspond to fire, how to interpret the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth is probably the one who minted the money has the final say." ”

"That's nature. Brother Zhong knows better than me. ”

"I can't talk about this anymore. Let's wait for news from my uncle!"

Yu Yao handed over a cigarette, "One more thing, Brother Zhong, Jingzidian Village, do you have a way?"

"It's a small village, but it's a river and lake. Yes, yes, I don't know what you want to do. ”

"Just want to see and see. ”

"That's right!" Pu Jie stepped up.

"Okay. Tomorrow you go to the second alley in the east of the village, count the fourth courtyard from east to west, look for the lame man, and I will say hello. ”

"Thank you, Brother Zhong. ”

"Don't be so polite between friends. You have measure, and I don't need to worry. ”

The next morning, Yu Yao, Pu Jie and Lao Zhou came to Jingzidian Village together. Lao Huang had to come forward in person because of a big business in Jiangzhou, so he went back ahead of schedule.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard that Zhong Yu said, I was about to ring the doorbell next to the door, and the door opened.

The first to come out was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who should be less than fifty years old, with a red face, and a big mole on the right side of his nose, which made Zhou Zheng's appearance look a little awkward.

Behind him, there was a man in his thirties, with a small flat head, who looked a little wooden.

"Sensei sent it, see you later. The big mole greeted the man behind him with a smile, looked at Yu Yao and the three of them, and walked away quickly.

The wooden man nodded, "Mr. Feng walks slowly." ”

After the big mole left a few steps, Yu Yao opened his mouth and asked, "Excuse me, is the lame master here?"

"What do you guys do?"

"Oh, it was introduced by Zhong Yu, my surname is Yu. ”

The wooden man nodded, "Got it, come in!"

The yard is huge, in the center is a small three-story building, and there is definitely a backyard at the back. On the west side there is a long sloping room, and on the east side is a simple shed built up.

A small half of the shed, piled up with bags of things, the bags are divided into several colors, Yu Yao thought to himself, this should be a different kind of porcelain clay.

On the other half of the shed, there are several machines, one of which is very much like a machine for making and adjusting glazes, because there is a small extension of the opening, and the hanging things flash with a glass luster.

Yu Yao said secretly, there are so many things, there must be a porcelain kiln in the backyard!

"Ah Fu, who's coming?" a loud question came from the living room on the first floor, and then came out an old man with white hair, whose face was furrowed, but under the two long eyebrows, a pair of eyes were bright.

Looking at him walking, it is true that one leg is not very flexible, slightly straight, and a little dragged, but it is not as serious as "lame".

"Cripple master, it was Brother Zhong who introduced Mr. Yu here. Ah Fu replied respectfully.

"Which one?" the lame man looked at the three of them.

"Hello lame man, I'm Yu Yao. Yu Yao said as he handed the two boxes of tea he was carrying to Ah Fu, "When we meet for the first time, please give me more advice." ”

"The businessman values profit over parting, and Fuliang bought tea the month before. Fuliang is the porcelain capital, you have arrived in the porcelain capital, and now buy tea for me, you may not understand, what does it mean?" the lame man looked at Yu Yao, "But you look quite pleasing to my eyes, come in." ”

Yu Yao smiled, "Excuse me." ”

The three of them entered the living room on the first floor. This living room is very empty, thirty or forty square meters, but there is only one table of eight immortals, and there is a chair on each side. In addition, on each side, there are two chairs. Between the two chairs, there is a narrow table.

"Sit!" The lame man sat on the chair on the left side of the Eight Immortals table, Yu Yao and the three of them, no one stepped forward to sit with him at the table, and sat on the chairs on both sides.

Ah Fu brought the tea and put it on the small table in front of them.

The lame master directly picked up a small purple clay pot on the table of the Eight Immortals, and took a sip to his mouth: "The boy of the Zhong family loves to show some face, say, what do you want?"

"Cripple master, we mainly want to come and see. ”

"Okay, what's there to know? give you a good piece of goods, just take it back and make a fortune. The lame man waved his hand, "Needless to say." ”

When the lame man waved his hand, his left hand paused in the air, and Yu Yao noticed that he was wearing a jade wrench on his left thumb.

The color is white, with lake blue, but it is more emerald than lake blue, and the whole is extremely transparent. Although there was no obvious green color in a plain wrench, Yu Yao's eyes still changed.

Picking up jadeite information from the Internet is uneven, and it is easy to be affected by various names and messy explanations.

For example, some people know the glass species, but they don't know what the glass species is. In fact, the glass species is not like the glass at all, the feeling of fluorescence, the glass will have? It's just that the glass jadeite is difficult to find a suitable metaphor.

Looking at jadeite, there are three key points: species, water, and color. The "species" of glutinous species, ice species, and glass species refers to the fineness of the particles. Water, refers to transparency. As for the color, then it doesn't need to be explained.

However, there is a so-called "imperial green" saying, which is mainly the name of the business. What kind of green is Imperial Green? Is it Qin Shi Huang or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? Tang Taizong or Song Taizu?

Jadeite is indeed green as expensive, and the most expensive green is Zhengyang green, which is pure, rich, and not color-biased. If the seed and water can also reach the top, it will look emerald green and beautiful, and some people originally called it "emerald".

The emerald itself is an emerald, and its green color is difficult to describe, with a blue tinge in the green, and a yellowish tinge. The top Zhengyang green jadeite, because the species and water are also in place, are more similar to the delicateness, transparency and color of the top emerald, so it borrows this name. However, the two are not identical, and they cannot be identical, because the main mineral composition of the two is different.

Merchants may feel that "emerald" is not strong enough, so they fry "imperial green". What is the benefit of hyping up a new name? Maybe the seed and water of a piece of jadeite are not in place, but the green is enough, and he dares to shout that it is "imperial green", which is easy to sell!

And connoisseurs look at jadeite, what is the species, water, and color itself.

Of course, it's not that the name is not important, for example, the raw material of this jade wrench in the hand of the lame man also has a name.

After Yu Yao looked at this wrench, he took a sip of tea and thought for a while. Of course, they didn't come to buy something to go back and make a fortune, but obviously the lame man didn't want to talk more, just give Zhong Yu a thin noodle.

"Cripple master, I was in front of my eyes just now, could it be that the piece of material you wore on your hand came from the legendary piece?" Yu Yao said slowly.
