Chapter 0104 Choosing Jade
That's understandable.
After all, it was Monday morning, except for some retired old people, people like Lu Chen who had leisure were a minority after all.
According to the introduction on the Internet, although Jiangzhou Antique Street is not ranked in the domestic antique market, it is close to several more famous jade producing areas, coupled with the relatively developed economy and sufficient historical accumulation, there are many jade carving craftsmen in the local area.
The jade shops here are among the best in terms of size and quantity.
Because of the gathering of jade merchants from all over the country, some rare and precious jade stones on the market will appear here.
Under the guidance of the navigation, Lu Chen went straight to a jade shop called "Jinghong Pavilion".
According to the recommendation of netizens, this jade shop with six facades running through and retro decoration has an excellent reputation.
Moreover, the jade sold is of excellent quality and is the first choice of high-end players for five stars.
Generally speaking, Lu Chen does not have a clear enough concept of jade, and he knows about jade, Hetian jade, Xiuyan jade, Dushan jade, bloodstone, Shoushan Tianhuang, these more familiar jade.
But they only know the names, and they are blind to their specific circumstances.
He needs to see the real thing, let the little fox guide him, and then feel the quality of the jade himself, and cultivate the ability to discern.
As soon as he entered the door, this jade shop gave Lu Chen a feeling of brightness.
The decoration is very simple, and he can directly feel that these decorations are not simple handicrafts, they are all old objects that are a little old.
That kind of historical atmosphere really shocked Lu Chen deeply.
This is worthy of being the jade shop worth looking forward to on this antique street in the mouth of netizens.
According to the post, if you can't find your favorite jade here, then I'm afraid you may not be able to gain anything from searching the entire antique street.
Soon, Lu Chen adjusted his thoughts and began to focus on the dazzling array of jade objects on the counter.
"How is it, my lord, do you feel the aura on these jades?"
I don't know when, the little fox sat on Lu Chen's shoulder, stretching his neck and looking around, occasionally snorting, as if he was feeling something.
Lu Chen smiled: "Although the aura that can be felt is very weak, after all, it is more or less a little bit, and it is indeed worthy of the name." ”
"By the way, you can directly help pick them, I'll study them first, and remember their characteristics first. ”
The little fox pondered for a while and then said, "If it is a yellow-level jade talisman like improving one's physique, there is no need to use jade. Xiuyan jade of good enough quality will do. ”
"Of course, Lantian jade, Hetian jade and Dushan jade of the same level can also be selected. ”
Lu Chen didn't say much, and walked straight to the counter.
"Hello sir, what can I serve you?" In charge of this counter is a beautiful shopping guide about twenty-four or five, dressed in a cheongsam, with a beautiful face, and a very classical charm.
"Just take a look. Lu Chen coped with it, and began to look for it on his own.
In fact, although he was also feeling the aura emanating from these jade carvings, he was actually waiting for the results of the little fox's search.
The beauty shopping guide was very patient and silently stood aside.
Soon, Lu Chen's gaze locked on a Guanyin pendant carved from Xiuyan jade.
The texture is dignified and simple, and the color is pale yellow and white.
"Good eye, both the carving and the texture are superb. It should belong to the river mill jade. The little fox immediately gave an evaluation.
Lu Chen shook his head: "This price is too expensive, it actually costs one million and two million." I only have enough money to buy this one. ”
"Then there's no way. The little fox said helplessly, "I just saw two other things. A safety buckle, the texture is better than this, with a price tag of 1.98 million. ”
"Another beautiful carved jade cicada, the texture is a little worse, the price is a little cheaper, but it costs 1.6 million. ”
Lu Chen smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, you get what you pay for." This thing is really not something that ordinary people can play. ”
Having said that, Lu Chen still beckoned the beautiful shopping guide on the side and asked her to invite this Jade Guanyin over to take a look first.
Through the touch of his hand, Lu Chen really felt the wonder of this kind of river grinding jade.
It is worthy of being a top-level jade comparable to Hetian jade, the jade is pure and tough, and the grease is very strong.
Immediately, Lu Chen used the same way to compare the peace buckle and the jade cicada in the little fox's mouth.
Sure enough, the texture of these two jade carvings is even purer, and they are higher than the Xiuyan jade Guanyin just now.
It is no wonder that in comparison, the jade Guanyin is larger, the carving is more complicated, and the price is lower.
Lu Chen continued to walk, intending to see the other three kinds of jade that the little fox said.
Although jade was quickly found that could be used to make jade talismans, the price was still exaggerated.
Especially Hetian jade, because of the influx of funds in recent years, under the crazy speculation, the price has risen year by year, and it has exceeded its own value.
Just when Lu Chen was about to use the money in his hand to buy two pieces of jade that were slightly cheaper and barely qualified in texture to practice his hands, suddenly the conversation between the two people caught his attention.
"Lao Diao, how is the wool you recently collected in Damukan, and has it been shipped?"
A middle-aged man in his early fifties, chubby, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, returned a jade plate in his hand to the beautiful shopping guide, turned his head and asked a person of a similar age next to him.
The two of them have been standing in front of the jade counter since Lu Chen came in, chatting while watching various jade carvings.
However, at the beginning, most of them were commenting on the jade carvings in their hands, but now they have taken the topic away.
Although the voices of the two were very small, Lu Chen relied on his extraordinary ear power, but he learned a lot of basic knowledge about jadeite from their conversation.
The man known as Lao Diao looked leaner, and suddenly sighed softly:
"Lao Xue, it's not that you don't know, there are too many people who have played in the past few years, and no matter who understands or not, they have come to join in the fun. ”
"Coupled with over-exploitation, the output is getting less and less, and the quality is getting worse and worse, and the price is because those mallets are constantly being fried and rising. ”
"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have risked betting on all the money. I guess my heart disease and high blood pressure will kill me sooner or later because of this. ”
The middle-aged fat man lifted his glasses, squinted his eyes and sneered: "Old Diao, I don't know you yet? If you guys really bought it, they would have been shouting around for comfort." ”
The man known as Lao Diao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Lao Xue, I won't tell you anything! There are a total of sixteen stones, and at the beginning I made seven in a row, but three of them performed well, but unfortunately I was too greedy and cut them all." ”
