Chapter 21: The Mystery of Jade (1)

Although Lai's is a serious jewelry company, the current store in Buybest is just a sale. Here, there is no serious jade processing workshop. It's just an underground warehouse that has been cleared out.

This room occupies a small area, more than 20 square meters, and there is a cutting machine and two grinding machines in a row against the inner wall.

A red-faced master who was not very tall was cleaning there, and he was a little surprised when he saw Chong Shao coming down from above with a young girl. But when Li Miao took out a palm-sized piece from the bag, and felt that the worst piece of rough stone among the five pieces was handed to him, the master suddenly smiled.

Master Zhu was already in place half a month ago.

But because I have never had a business, the salary can be said to be pitiful. Now that I see the business, I am also excited.

After taking this palm-sized jade rough from Li Miao's hand, he studied it.

As he looked at it, he said, "Girl, you are a piece of wood-cut material, and most of the rough stones from this mine are brownish-gray or yellow-red." Our piece is brownish-gray, and it doesn't look very remarkable. However, there is no crack on the surface, and there is no moss, and the amount is still good, and it is a little pressing. May be shipped. I'll turn on the lights and see!"

So saying, the master took out a candle-sized flashlight from his pocket and shone it on the stone.

While taking a look and turning, he was still chanting a word there: "Well, looking at the planting water, it should be no problem to be glutinous." The color is greenish and there are no obvious cracks. But what exactly it looks like has to be unraveled to know. Well, this young lady, this stone is too small, so we won't cut it. I'll just wipe it for you, can you see it?"

When Master Zhu said these words, Li Chong's gaze kept stopping at Li Miao's body.

Last time, when the goods first arrived, Li Chong noticed that Li Miao's reaction was a little unusual. But after that, there was no movement from her. But just when Li Chong thought that Li Miao's reaction at that time was just the curiosity of ordinary people, she appeared.

Without any nonsense, she squatted directly in front of those jade rough stones, she didn't bring a strong flashlight, and the picking of materials was all based on her hands. It looks like a layman, but whether it is a layman or not depends on the final result.

Master Zhu is a veteran in the industry, Li Miaocai nodded here, and he turned on the grinder over there.

Pushing the little stone with his hand, he began to polish it little by little on the grinder.

The sound is quite harsh, which shows that the hardness of this stone is still good. The style of grinding for a while and dropping some water is similar to that described in the book.

It's just that the polishing process written in the book is to grind for a while and take it out to turn on the light, but this master is grinding there without a break. The movements of the hands are coherent and fast, and there is no need to withdraw to see. Just by the feel, you can know whether it has been ground to the right place. This feeling made Li Miao admire, and at the same time, she couldn't help but want to practice her own hands.

If she really wants to take this road today, she can read books to learn about jadeite, and Li Miao, the skill of gambling stones, can also go to Pingzhou to go around more, but even if you buy the best rough stone, you have to unravel it. And this kind of thing, once it is touched by outsiders, it is equivalent to being known about your net worth. Tens of thousands, if the quality is good, it is tens, millions. If such a net worth is known, it is difficult to say what the end will be.

Therefore, Li Miao felt that the craft of calcifying stone still had to be learned by herself. I bought my own solution, left a better collection or find an opportunity to sell it again, and it is still good to use the ordinary ones to make a living.

In line with such a principle, Li Miao looked at it very carefully when Master Zhu solved the stone.

And her staring naturally attracted Li Chong's attention.

This Li Miao, what is her origin?

After a lap, the brownish-gray skin on the outside has been polished. Instead, there was a layer of gray and white cotton mist, and when he grinded down again, the speed of Master Zhu's hands slowed down significantly, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. But the sound of the change of the grinder has already made Li Chong understand that it has been shipped.

Sure enough, Master Zhu's hand stopped after another half an hour.

But he didn't immediately show the solved stone to the two, but held the solved jade in his hand, immersed it in a water dish on the side for more than ten seconds, and then gently shook the water vapor on it, and held it in front of the two.

This rough stone was not large until it was unraveled, only the size of the palm of a hand. After solving it, it was only the size of a duck egg.

The quality is not good. It's just just glutinous.

But the meat is very open, and the whole body is as white as jade, and there is no flaw in it. But because the size is too small, the bracelet is not rare, most of it is to make a brand or a handle, and the value is not high.

Li Miao's heart was slightly disappointed. But Li Chong had already seen the clue from Master Zhu's sparkling eyes.

Sure enough, when Master Zhu turned the outer half over, even Li Chong's eyes instantly lit up.

I saw that the back of this rough stone, although it is also mainly white, there is a cloud of flowing green silk shining on the snow-jade-like bottom.

And this green is not rigid and stays there, although its color is a little blue, but the overall color distribution is like a touch of freshness swept out by the wind of the master of calligraphy and painting. Graceful and full of fun.

This kind of color, of course, can be a brand, but if you make a delicate handle, I believe the market will be good.

"Miss Li, I like your stone very much, do you want to sell it?"

Li Chong went straight in, although Li Miao also liked this little thing in his hand. Still, she agreed to sell. It's just that Li Miao kept a heart, and she didn't say how much. He just handed the thing to Li Chong and asked him to see it for himself.

So, after taking this small material and lighting it carefully, Li Chong gave Li Miao a price of 5,000 yuan!

Li Miao bought five rough stones just now, but it only cost four thousand and five.

Now only this piece has earned the capital back. I can't help but say that it's earned!

Master Zhu personally went to run the leg, and when the half-knife brand-new banknote was handed to Li Miao's palm, Li Chong saw the pear vortex at the shallow corner of her mouth.

I couldn't help but soften in my heart: "Miss Li, congratulations." Do you want to gamble again?"

The outer skin performance of the five rough stones picked by Li Miao just now, Li Chong saw it with his own eyes. To be honest, the performance was not very good, but it was unexpectedly good to cut out.

Moreover, based on Li Chong's inference, it is impossible for Li Miao to experiment with her favorite material as soon as she comes up. Under normal circumstances, the material that Li Miao took out for the first time should be the worst.

Knock on the door, always use the cheapest material to knock.

But the worst material has been solved with such a color, Li Chong is curious, what will the four pieces she have left look like?

Speaking of this, Li Miao also had a deer in his heart.

She did choose the one with the least strong aura just now, but the results were really unexpected. In such a situation, even if Li Chong doesn't urge, she still has to solve another piece. But which piece to solve?

After Li Miao's hand touched the paper bag for a long time, she finally decided to take out the piece of material that performed second best.
