Chapter 722: Picking up jade
Because they were all freshly dug out of the river, these pebbles still have water droplets on them, which is really not very comfortable to touch in this cold spring weather.
Looking at Aunt Uyghur's hands that were red from the cold, Luo Tong's heart was full of taste. What she didn't expect was that jade mining was such a hard profession.
The aunt hugged the unfamiliar Chinese and Luo Tong: "My harvest today is good, if it was in the past, I might not be able to find a piece of seed material in a week." β
Luo Tong felt something, and looked towards the seed sorting place, where there were more than a dozen masters, all of them looking intently at these pebbles that had just been turned over, trying not to let go of any fish that slipped through the net.
"They are all very experienced masters, and very few of them can pick up the seeds from them. The Uyghur aunt smiled, obviously still immersed in the good mood of just picking up the seeds.
Luo Tong pursed his lips and simply found another topic: "Auntie, what kind of seed material is produced here? I see that the piece you just now is blue and white, is there any white jade material?"
"This is actually the Yulong Kashgar River, here is the famous white jade in ancient times, the river is rich in white jade, green jade and black jade, since ancient times it is the main river of Hetian jade. β
"Is this the only river that produces jade?" Luo Tong also had a dark eye on these eyes, and now that he met someone who could talk about it, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.
"No, it has a total of two main jade-producing rivers, namely the Yulong Kashgar River and the Karakashgar River, the Yulong Kashgar River produces the most jade, and the jade produced is the top grade and the best in Hetian jade, the main characteristics are: the block degree is small, the jade quality is good, most of them have sugar skin, and they are also called sugar jade, sugar white jade and sugar skin jade. β
"And the Karakash River, it is famous for producing black jade, but the middle reaches of the Karakash River also have Hetian jade beds, sometimes you can also pick up Hetian jade, and in its lower reaches, it also produces sand gold and diamonds, so we all call the Karakash River a treasure river that flows gold, flowing jade, and Tibetan diamonds. β
Luo Tong was fascinated by what he heard, there is such a magical river in this world? If you have the opportunity, you must go and see it, even if it is not for the treasures in those rivers, it is also excellent to witness the beauty of nature with your own eyes.
Sheng Qiwu stood not far away and watched Luo Tong chatting with the aunt, and Chang Zheng had already gone to walk around. To say that this jade mining scene is really out of Sheng Qiwu's imagination, I didn't expect it to be so hard.
Sheng Qiwu thought for a long time before he came up with such a word. He felt that compared to these hard jade pickers, their lives were really too happy.
Luo Tong squatted beside her aunt, talking to her without a match, and rummaging aimlessly in her hands. She simply looked at the shape of some of the pebbles, and the patterns on them were good.
Just picking and choosing, Luo Tong picked three or four round pebbles and put them aside. Auntie took the time to take a look, and it was a pebble, and it seemed that people had taken a fancy to the pattern on the pebble, and took it back to make an ornament.
Luo Tong naturally fell in love with these patterns, and some of them were light-colored patterns, which looked very comfortable. Luo Tong picked the pebbles that looked comfortable, Sheng Qiwu came over to take a look, and picked up a piece with water ripples.
"It's a good piece, it looks like the ripples of running water. β
Luo Tong looked invited, "I also think these pieces look very comfortable, and I like them a lot." β
Sheng Qiwu was also playful, and he squatted down beside Luo Tong: "Then I'll take a look, compare and see who picks out the best looks?" β
Luo Tong smiled, Sheng Qiwu looked like an old mother, but it was precisely because of Sheng Qiwu's concern for his friends that Luo Tong felt that Sheng Qiwu was very warm.
The two talked and laughed, Sheng Qiwu's vision was high, and he didn't see anything satisfactory after looking at it for a long time, and Luo Tong had already piled up several pieces. Sheng Qiwu was not in a hurry at all, and still looked at it slowly.
He doesn't care about winning or losing at all, his fiancΓ©e is left and right, and there is really no need to take winning or losing so seriously.
Luo Tong didn't care about talking to Sheng Qiwu, he just lowered his head and picked and choose. It is said that these pebbles are more or less patterned, and there are few solid colors.
Luo Tong prefers solid colors, but he doesn't see them when he flips them over. They were at the bottom of the cobblestone pile, and down to the gravel.
Luo Tong pursed her lips, there are also pebbles under the gravel, she picked her fingers down, and suddenly her fingertips touched a very warm feeling, Luo Tong suddenly felt a thrill.
She would never feel wrong about this feeling, it must be the seeds! And it was a very high-quality seed, which was far inferior to the seeds she bought from Lao Cao in the morning.
Could it be that this is a piece of excellent seed material underneath? Luo Tong's heart was beating violently and excitedly. Could it be that she also wants to cos a jade picker today?
At this time, there was no one else around them, and the Uyghur aunt saw that Luo and Sheng Qiwu were slimy, and they had already rummaged for seeds on the other side.
Sheng Qiwu squatted beside Luo Tong, and Luo Tong's breathing changed slightly for a moment, and he noticed it.
He looked sideways at Luo Tong: "What's wrong? Why do you have such an expression?"
Luo Tong's expression now is a surprise mixed with an incredible, and his eyes are surprisingly bright.
Luo Tong didn't answer his words, just stretched out his arm hard, calmed down and tried to find the seed. Sheng Qiwu saw that Luo Tong's little face was tense, and he didn't bother her, just to see what she could take out.
Luo Tong's fingers picked out, and he quickly pulled out the piece of seed material that felt good. Just now he touched it lightly with his fingertips, and now that he held it all in his hand, Luo Tong deeply understood what it meant to be as warm as jade.
This seed material is very comfortable to the touch, it is about half the size of Luo Tong's palm, and the surface is very smooth. On top of that, it's shiny black on the outside, and it's all black.
The fingers touched it gently, as if they were touching a clump of solidified grease, and the tentacles were smooth. Luo Tong held it and admired it for a long time before carefully handing it to Sheng Qiwu's hand. Although she had never seen mutton fat jade, she felt that the feeling of this black stone was similar to that of the legendary mutton fat jade.
Sheng Qiwu felt that Luo Tong was making a big fuss at first, and drooled over such an unsightly pebble. When he really got started, he found out that this little black stone was so comfortable to touch?
