So Yu Yao took a closer look at the old beeswax on the stall.

Most of the stalls are new beeswax crafts, and the old beeswax is only a small part of it. In addition to the 108 strings in the hands of middle-aged women, there are also three strings of jujube bead bracelets with a diameter of about 18 to 20 mm, and more than a dozen pieces of cake.

These old beeswax on the stall are all genuine.

Such shops and stalls are actually quite rare. On the market today, it is no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of the so-called old beeswax is baked and worn.

The maximum number of men is 8,080, and they refuse to add more, while middle-aged women can only give 10,000.

Eventually, the man left. The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly, "I don't want the price of real old wax." ”

"This is because there are too few people with high eyesight in the market. Pu Jie answered at this time, "Sister Fang beeswax, you are Sister Fang, right?"

"Yes, my surname is Fang. The middle-aged woman listened to Pu Jie's words, and a smile appeared on her face, "Do the three of you also want to buy old beeswax?"

"Sister Fang, how do you sell these strings of jujube bead bracelets?" asked Lao Zhou.

"These strings of jujube bead bracelets, the diameter is more than 18 millimeters, each one is finely selected, and the gram price can be higher than 108 strings, 381 grams. ”

Lao Zhou picked up a string, played with it a few times, and looked at Kong Dao again.

The key to identifying old beeswax beads is the pore. Whether it is baked or old, the weathering pattern on the surface of the bead is easy to say, but the pores are the most difficult to deal with, and it is easy to show clues.

After reading it, Lao Zhou couldn't help but look at Yu Yao again.

Yu Yao nodded slightly, indicating that things were fine.

"If the price is two hundred and eight grams, I'll play with a bunch. Lao Zhou said with a smile.

Sister Fang shook her head lightly, "It's not enough." I came from the old European trade beads in currency, some of which were broken in transit, some of which were badly broken, and some of which were not of uniform condition. I want to pay 308 grams for the high-quality skewers I picked out, but I can't make much money. ”

Lao Zhou nodded, she was telling the truth. However, Lao Zhou still didn't plan to buy it, because it wasn't something he liked to play with himself, and it wouldn't be interesting if he didn't make it cheap.

"Sister Fang, do you still have a single thick old beeswax pier here?" When Yu Yao accompanied Lin Fengcao to buy furniture in Yanjing before, he bought a bunch of small walnut bunches in the village, and now they are a little red; he didn't bring them when he went out, but suddenly remembered that it was time to add some accessories.

The so-called dun is actually a relatively thick cake, and the cake is too thin to look good when added to a small walnut skewer.

"Yes, there are cakes and jujube beads outside, and there are thick piers in the house, come in and see!" Sister Fang responded. Then she called out a young man to watch the stall outside, and she took Yu Yao and the three into the store.

The storefront is a bungalow, and it is not big, Sister Fang found three old beeswax piers from the counter and asked Yu Yao to pick them.

This kind of gadget, Yu Yao didn't grind, and picked a suitable size. A single old beeswax pier is cheaper than a bunch one, and a pier is only six or seven grams, and the total price is more than 1,000 yuan.

Yu Yao took out his mobile phone and swiped the QR code to pay. At this time, a female clerk came over with a plastic box, walked in front of Sister Fang and put it on the counter, "Sister Fang, this is the rough stone for tonight's live broadcast, how to set the gram price?"

This plastic box has a vertical partition in the middle, and inside is a small piece of beeswax rough stones, Sister Fang pointed to both sides, "Thirteen pieces of black material are nine, and Russian material is thirty-nine pieces of nine." ”

Pu Jie looked at it, and then reached out and pulled the beeswax rough stone, "Live spike?"

Sister Fang nodded, "That's right, live broadcast at night, put out the rough stone for customers to pick, pick out the on-site grinding, and the general things are processed for free, like beads, bagels, brands or something." ”

"There are also gambling sex, huh?" Pu Jie said again.

"No matter what kind of rough stone, there is a gamble. But the beeswax is okay, most of them have been opened through the windows, and they are generally lit up, which can be roughly judged - except for some black thick leather. Then there are some full-skin white materials, the lights are not transparent, and the gambling is particularly large; the white wax is expensive, and if you win the bet, you will make a lot of money, but if there is a lot of black and miscellaneous, then you will lose. ”

In fact, such a spike price of the rough stone, basically selected by the merchant, wax is not necessarily bad, but the type is basically irregular, if you want to make a finished product, the yield will be relatively low. For example, a 50-gram rough stone is crooked and unsuitable, and the final product may only be 10 grams or 8 grams.

"Isn't there a kind of imperial miscellaneous?" Pu Jie interfaced.

"Huh. Sister Fang smiled slightly, "I don't like this, so I won't comment on it." ”

In fact, the "imperial miscellaneous" in beeswax is, in the eyes of many connoisseurs, a gimmick for business speculation.

The so-called "imperial miscellaneous" means that there are many impurities in the ore site, but the distribution is relatively good-looking, or because the impurities constitute a special pattern. But in fact, impurities are impurities, it is not beeswax, and merchants play this gimmick to "turn waste into treasure", naturally in order to make more money. However, it can be regarded as capturing the psychology of some people.

Pu Jie stood on Sister Fang's side, Yu Yao stood on the other side, and when they were talking, Yu Yao had already finished paying and looked into the plastic box.

In fact, Yu Yao was not proficient in beeswax rough stones, but he found a rough stone with a somewhat special earthy yellow skin, and on a whim, he reached out and took it out.

Starting with this rough stone, Yu Yao felt that there were more than one or two, that is, more than fifty grams, and the shape was not very regular, not easy to describe, like a triangular body that had been beaten and fractured in many places.

The earthy yellow skin looks very thick and a bit jagged, and at the same time, some of the protrusions are slightly rounded and shiny.

"Sister Fang, how do you sell this piece?"

"Oh, this is Russian material, the special price is thirty-nine yuan and ninety-one grams, you can grind the skin for free, process some simple bead pendants or something, if it is like processing carved parts, you have to pay additional processing fees. Sister Fang took a closer look at it while introducing, "This piece of lighting is not transparent at all, but it may really be bone china white wax inside, and you may make a lot of money if you win the bet!"

"But there are black spots and black lines on it, if you sneak in, it will be useless, right?"

Sister Fang smiled, "Something special." ”

"Sister Fang, did you collect these materials in batches?" Yu Yao asked again.

"Hmm. To tell the truth, it's all new material mined this year. ”

"Okay, then I want this piece, no problem, right?"

"What's the problem then, come, I'll weigh you, and I'll wipe you with the odds!" Sister Fang replied briskly.

Pu Jie and Lao Zhou couldn't help but be stunned, and said in their hearts, why did Yu Yao still play gambling stones on the spot?

Yu Yao naturally has Yu Yao's reason.

He wasn't proficient in rough beeswax, but he was adept at identifying traces. This piece of beeswax rough, judging from the original skin, is absolutely impossible to be newly mined this year! And it has been played with. Judging from the comparison of the weathering of the skin and the traces of playing, it will take twenty years to mine it, to say the least.

Another point is that this is not like the skin of Russian ash rough, this skin is more like a mineral texture, although it is not so hard and dense.
