"Look, the hair hasn't been burned, is it? ”

The middle-aged woman threw away the match in her hand, held the jade pendant wrapped in her hair, and her expression was quite complacent: "I still know this, I tried it when I bought it, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it." ”

"Wow......"

Bai Xiaoxue on the side widened her eyes in surprise, looked at the hair that had been burned by the fire but had no problems at all, and asked Zheng Zheng, "This...... That's amazing! This ...... It should be real jade, right?"

Although she believes in Zheng Zheng's vision, but now that the facts are in front of her, Bai Xiaoxue also believes a little in her heart.

Zheng Zheng smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, you have always been making insect gourds, and you don't know much about this...... Come on, I'll make up for you today......"

After clearing his throat, Zheng Zheng didn't pay attention to the middle-aged woman on the side at all, and said to Bai Xiaoxue: "This looks at jade, the first is to see, to see a translucent, real jade has strong transparency, there is oil color, fake jade is just the opposite; the second is to listen, the sound of real jade is crisp, on the contrary, the voice is hoarse; the third is other testing methods, such as using jade to scratch glass." When the real jade is scratched over the glass, it will leave scratches on the glass, but the jade itself will not leave any marks. ”

"As for fake jade, it is usually plastic, stained glass, marble, synthetic jade made of jade powder and crystal, mixed with salt water, and imitation jade made of glass...... These are all working on the jade itself, making fake jade. In addition, there are also those who work real jade, such as electroplating and coloring, falsifying the year, etc., strictly speaking, it is also considered real jade, but it is just a fake with real jade. ”

"What about so many fake methods?" Bai Xiaoxue was stunned when she heard this, she has a lot of attainments in insect gourds, but how have she ever come into contact with this? After hearing this, she suddenly asked curiously: "Then, how can you tell the difference?"

Zheng Zheng smiled: "There are corresponding methods and their own characteristics...... The texture of plastic fake jade is lighter than jade, and you don't need anything else, you know how much weight the same real jade should have, and you will know if it is plastic when you weigh the weight. ”

"Stained glass is also easy to distinguish. If you take a closer look at the light, you can see that there are a lot of bubbles in the glass, which is fake, but the real jade has no bubbles...... The synthesis made of jade powder, crystal and salt water is used to imitate the old pit jade, and it is not difficult to identify, because this is different from the weight of the real jade, and you can know the weight by hand. It's just that compared with plastic fake jade, this is closer to the weight of real jade of the same size. ”

"It's more difficult to distinguish the electroplating color, this thing is not fake, it is not true, it is shoddy. It is essentially inferior jade, but it has been electroplated to coat inferior jade with a layer of emerald green color, and it is easy to mistake it for real jade. At this time, you need to look carefully, if there are some small cracks with green and blue on it, then this is the electroplating color. ”

"Let's say the hardest thing to discern......"

Speaking of this, Zheng Zheng pointed to the jade pendant that had been held in the hand of the middle-aged woman, looking at it over and over again, and said to Bai Xiaoxue: "The most difficult thing to distinguish is the jade imitation of glass. The effect of imitation is quite good, the weight is basically the same, and it looks more white and lustrous than jade, ordinary jade can not reach this color, it is very easy for people to confuse this with the best jade. ”

"However, although it is difficult to distinguish between glass and jade, the truth is different after all, and there is a way to distinguish the fake. As far as this color is concerned, the white of white jade is often bluish, and there are very few pure whites, while the glass is a pure white that is uniform and white; in terms of jade nature, jade is warm and delicate, with a layer of warm light. Although the glass looks warm, there is a layer of 'thief light' in the warmth, and the color does not look right. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Zheng turned to the middle-aged woman and said, "You look at this jade pendant at the light...... White jade is a natural product, it is difficult to be uniform in a whole piece, there are jade tendons and jade flowers in the jade, in short, there are snowflake-like spots in it. But what about the glass, this is artificially made, the color is crystal white, and there is no jade tendon and jade flower in it, which happens to be something that real jade can't do...... Moreover, there are no bubbles in the white jade, and no matter how careful and careful the glass is processed is, there will be some small bubbles, which is completely unavoidable...... Take a closer look at what I say. ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the jade pendant at the light suspiciously for a while, and her face became even more ugly. But she still didn't give up, and said, "Then my hair ......"

"Why didn't the hair burn out, right?" Zheng Zheng knew what she wanted to say, shook his head, and said, "You can't rely on this to identify jade, and this can't be relied on." This news is half a bottle of vinegar, or simply fake news from a person who made a fake...... "Seeing that the middle-aged woman was suspicious of what she heard, Zheng Zheng said: "If you don't believe it, let me show it to you?"

The middle-aged woman pursed her lips and handed over the jade pendant.

Zheng Zheng took the jade pendant, untied the hair wrapped around it, and put the jade pendant aside. Zheng Zheng looked left and right, and then took the toothpick holder on the table.

This toothpick holder is made of clay, and there is a porcelain surface, which belongs to the kind of three yuan and five yuan for the two, and there are many on the market.

Zheng Zheng took the toothpick holder, wrapped the hair around the toothpick holder, pinched the hair tightly with one hand, and took out the lighter with the other hand, and put the flame together.

The middle-aged woman pouted secretly, can her hair be wrapped around the jade without being burned, and if she is wrapped around the toothpick holder......, it will not be burned?

However, the next moment, she couldn't believe her eyes, and her eyes widened instantly.

How can it be!

The flames licked the toothpick holder and burned vigorously, and the toothpick holder was tightened, and the hair that was directly hit by the flames was still the same in the flames, not to mention burning, and there was not even the slightest tendency to curl up.

"Wow! this ......" Bai Xiaoxue was also stunned, stared at the hair that was safe and sound in the fire, and then looked at Zheng Zheng, who seemed to be smiling, and said, "Okay...... How?"

Zheng Zheng put down everything in his hand and explained to Bai Xiaoxue: "The principle here is not easy to explain, to put it simply, as long as the hair is wrapped around the stone that the flame cannot completely cover or the smooth plane of the stone material, it will not be burned...... It doesn't necessarily need to be wound, other ways are fine, as long as it can be clinging. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Zheng casually straightened the strand of hair on the glass table, so that the strand of hair tightened the tabletop, and burned the table with a lighter, and the hair on the table was intact in the flames. Zheng Zheng took back the lighter and said with a smile: "That's probably it......"

"So ......" Zheng Zheng turned to the middle-aged woman who was looking at the "jade pendant" and "silver bracelet" in her hand blankly, shook her head slightly, and said, "The method you used to detect the jade is useless. ”

The color on the middle-aged woman's face changed for a while, and she gave Zheng Zheng a cold face and said, "Who knows if what you said is true, whether what you said is right or not, hum!"

After speaking, the middle-aged woman took the two "silver bracelets" and the "jade pendant" and walked away without looking back.

Bai Xiaoxue looked at the back of the middle-aged woman leaving, wrinkled her nose, pouted, and was very upset with Zheng Zheng: "She...... Why is she like this? She wasn't happy to help her?"

"Look,"

Zheng Zheng's face was indifferent, as if he had expected this kind of result. He spread his hands to Bai Xiaoxue and said, "What did I say before? This is the inconvenient place." It's true that you're kind enough to let me help her, but it depends on what the outcome will be. We helped her, but we helped her realize that she was deceived because of greed, you say, can she be happy? So this kind of thing, I usually don't care, unless people come to the door for me to identify, otherwise, it is a thankless effort. ”

"I knew I wouldn't help her like this......" Bai Xiaoxue wrinkled her little nose and muttered. After thinking about it, she asked again, "What about ...... Why was she deceived? She didn't know jade, but the silver bracelet, she couldn't figure it out?"

"Maybe it makes sense, or maybe it thinks the person who sold her can't figure it out...... Either way, it's greed. ”

Zheng Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Speaking of this, I remembered that there is such a saying in the liars industry, which is called 'carrying a long-eyed knife and killing greedy ghosts', which means that they are specifically targeting people who are not greedy enough." This woman is also greedy and wants to take advantage of others' danger, but she is picked up by others as cheap. From her state of mind...... Hey, she didn't lose anything when she was pitted. If she didn't have the heart to take advantage of others, how could she be fooled?"

There is never a shortage of people in this world who think they are smart and always think that they can easily make a fortune from others. And they often find out after being cheated once, it turns out that there are countless tricks in the world, specially used to deal with this kind of greedy and self-intelligent "fat sheep".

In Bai Xiaoxue's opinion, this was just a small episode when the two were eating, and after complaining a few words about the woman's ignorance, Bai Xiaoxue didn't think about it anymore. However, in Zheng Zheng's opinion, although this is just a trivial matter, it is really interesting.

For example, in this way, wandering on the street, pulling people to say that they have no money, and those who have two things in their hands and want to exchange some money, basically will not be locals.

And now this is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a total of two or three days, there are few people on the street, most people are at home to prepare New Year's goods and so on. This is not a good season for "coincidental children", and besides, people themselves have to celebrate the New Year, and they don't have time to come out to "do business" again. So according to common sense, there is no reason for this kind of charlatan to appear during this time period.

But now, this "coincidence" just appeared, which made Zheng Zheng feel a little wrong.

Zheng Zheng was eating, looking at the street outside, and muttered in his heart: "When a leaf falls, the sky is autumn...... What's the matter, what's the matter with the demons dancing in the Western Capital City during the Chinese New Year?"
