Chapter 966: Making Ornaments (1/2)
After eating
Zhang Feng hung all the pine towers in the yard
Then she got the tree jade out of the back basket, and when Wang Guilan saw it, she was very curious: "Son, what are you taking?"
"This is tree jade, which is a kind of fossil formed by trees. Zhang Feng explained with a slight smile.
"I didn't expect trees to turn into jade!" The first time she heard such a thing as tree jade, her mother Wang Guilan was very surprised.
"That's right, this thing is the same as dinosaur fossils, it was buried in the ground for hundreds of millions of years, and it was formed after complex geological changes, which is relatively rare. Zhang Feng nodded and gave an example to explain to his mother.
"Then shouldn't this tree jade be very valuable??" Wang Guilan's eyes lit up and asked her son.
"Although this tree jade can be worth some money, the market price is not high, if I sell this piece, it will only sell for two or three thousand at most!" Zhang Feng shook his head with a smile.
"It's only two or three thousand!" Hearing her son's words, Wang Guilan was obviously a little disappointed, thinking to herself, isn't gold priceless and jade priceless?
"I still think it's too much, if ordinary people take it and sell it, they may not even be able to sell it at this price, this kind of tree jade, only some people who like to collect will buy it, and who else will spend thousands of dollars to buy this thing?"
Hearing her son's words, Wang Guilan suddenly realized that this was indeed the case, and she would definitely be reluctant to spend thousands of such a stone.
At this moment, Uncle Er Niu walked in with a sickle, he should have just come back from cutting grass in the field.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, madman?"
"You're talking about this thing......" Zhang Feng smiled, pointed to the tree jade in his hand and said to Uncle Er Niu.
"Yo......? This seems to be jade?Xiaofeng, where did you find it??" Uncle Er Niu was taken aback when he saw the thing in Zhang Feng's hand.
"It's in the mountains, the ............ I met when I entered the mountain today" Then Zhang Feng briefly said how he found this piece of tree jade.
"Tsk, this is Shuhua Jade, you kid is really lucky to go shit, you can meet such a good thing when you enter the mountain!"
"That's buddy, I'm the one who is favored by the lucky girl, can I be unlucky?" Zhang Feng laughed strikingly.
", do you think I'm going to cheat if I haven't gone to college? Lady Luck is foreign, okay?Can she bless you?" Seeing Zhang Feng's arrogant appearance, Uncle Er Niu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Ahem, isn't globalization popular now? Isn't it up to the goddess of luck to come to China for a visit?" Zhang Feng coughed, and then talked serious nonsense.
Uncle Er Niu couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that if Lao Tzu believed you, it would be a stupid fork.
However, he was also very curious about the tree jade, snatched it from Zhang Feng's hand, looked carefully, and after seeing the lines on it, he couldn't help but be amazed, feeling that nature was really magical, and could turn soft wood into such a hard jade.
"Well, this thing is really a fossil of a tree!"
"Of course, can I still lie to you?" Zhang Feng sat on the side and smiled.
"Tsk, such a big piece of jade should be able to sell for hundreds of thousands, right?" Holding this piece of natural jade, Uncle Er Niu couldn't help but marvel.
"What?" Zhang Feng squirted out of the water he had just drunk, his eyes widened and he said, "Hundreds of thousands, do you think this is Hetian jade?"
"What? Isn't it worth hundreds of thousands?" Uncle Er Niu was a little surprised, thinking that such a good thing should be rarer and more valuable because it is a fossil and a jade?
"Of course, if it can be worth hundreds of thousands, I will be happy, but unfortunately this thing is really not valuable, such a large piece, at most it can be sold for one or two thousand yuan. Zhang Feng couldn't help but complain.
"How can it be so cheap??" Zhang Feng's words made Uncle Er Niu very surprised and puzzled.
"I don't know, it probably has something to do with market development and recognition!"
Due to the immaturity of the tree jade market, coupled with the fact that the tree jade does not have a large-scale development of the ore vein, it is not worth the large-scale speculation of capital, so although the tree jade is relatively rare, but the price is not high, even if it is collected, most of the tree jade is regarded as an ornamental stone, and it will not be regarded as an expensive jade, so the price of tree jade is generally not high.
After Zhang Feng's explanation, Uncle Er Niu suddenly realized, and then said cheekily: "So that's the case!
"Get out, haven't you woken up from your dream yet?" Hearing such a shameless request, Zhang Feng couldn't help but be happy, he wasted so much effort to dig it out of the deep mountains, how could he be cheap for you.
"Hehe, didn't you say it's worthless? Besides, this thing is yellow like a piece of, what are you doing at home?" Uncle Erniu felt that he couldn't get it anyway, so he decided to disgust Zhang Feng.
What the hell is this ??? a piece of??Is it all in your eyes??
Zhang Feng was simply amused by Uncle Erniu, this guy is really a slut, a cheap god who wants to retreat when the ghosts and gods see it!
"Bring it to me, since it's a piece of, what are you doing holding it in your hands?" Zhang Feng snatched it back and glared at him angrily.
"It's really stingy, Grande, an iron rooster that doesn't pull out a hair!" After Shuhuayu was snatched back, Uncle Er Niu couldn't help but lash at Zhang Feng.
"I'm Grande, it's the iron rooster, what do you want to do?" Zhang Feng didn't care what this guy said, and then smiled and deliberately stimulated Uncle Erniu and said: "I'll make a base for it later, put it at home, it must look great!"
"Forget it, I'm not familiar with you, I'm going home!" Uncle Er Niu shook his head, took his sickle and walked out the door.
"Uncle Erniu, go slowly!" Zhang Feng shouted with a smile.
"Nonsense, do I still have to run fast if I walk slowly??" Uncle Er Niu replied angrily, and then continued to walk outside the courtyard.
This morning, I was pruning and pruning leaves, weeding, and loosening the ground in the orchard, and I was busy all morning, Uncle Er Niu was tired and hungry, but I had a gag with Zhang Feng just now, and I felt a lot more relaxed physically and mentally.
After Uncle Er Niu left, Zhang Feng was not idle, took the tree jade and took a closer look, thinking about how to deal with this thing, and finally after some thought, he decided to make it into an ornament, and it should be kept as it is, without carving, so as to better reflect its natural beauty.
It just so happens that there is a piece of nanmu at home, which was originally intended to be used to make a cutting board, but now that it has a new use, Zhang Feng plans to use it to make a base to place the piece of tree jade that he has just dug up.
After Zhang Feng's carving, about half an hour later, the base of the ornament was finally ready.
Carefully put the tree jade on the base, tightly fitted, not bad, and the workmanship is very good, the two are also very compatible, and the match is more artistic.
