Although Zhang Feng knew about the rift, he still didn't understand what Lao Ding wanted to express, and said suspiciously: "What is the difference between the crack inside and the outside, is it that the jade inside the crack will be more expensive to sell?"

Zhang Feng didn't even believe what he said, he had never heard of such a statement, how could it be possible to double the price if it was cracked inside?

Lao Ding said: " Of course, this is not the reason, ceramics have a kind of porcelain called Ge kiln, which is famous for the irregular cracks on the outside of porcelain, but jade and ceramics are different, ceramics are daily necessities, the pursuit of appearance value, so merchants will do everything possible to pursue the beauty of the product and unique shape, in order to attract the attention of consumers, but jade is different, most of the people who collect jade pursue an auspicious meaning, so there will be a little superstitious thought in it, so the jade crack, is a very unlucky phenomenon, basically no one will choose jade with cracks。 ”

Lao Ding said, paused for a moment, probably said that he was tired, and wanted to stop and rest before continuing, but Zhang Feng only heard the first half, and now he was anxious, according to Lao Ding, wouldn't he just tell him that this piece of white jade was cracked, even if it was sold like this, if it was not discovered by the owner's family, it would be fine, if it was discovered, the person who bought the jade would definitely be furious because he bought an unlucky piece of jade.

will definitely come to Mingyuzhai to check Zhang Feng's bottom of the club, and then investigate to the end, at that time it is no longer a problem that money can solve, if those people insist that because Zhang Feng's piece of cracked jade destroyed their family's dragon vein, where will Zhang Feng go to compensate them for a dragon vein!

But Zhang Feng was puzzled, since Lao Ding said that this piece of white jade seemed to be useless, in this case, it could still be sold at double the price, and the buyer would not pursue it again?

Zhang Feng didn't believe that Lao Ding would harm him with this matter now, just now he thought that Lao Ding might sell the white jade for a high price for the money that Zhang Feng promised to give him, and then let Zhang Feng bear the consequences.

However, just now they have reached a consensus and decided to cooperate to open an antique store, and Lao Ding's appearance just now does not seem to be perfunctory to him, so it is very unlikely that Lao Ding will harm him now. Thinking of this, Zhang Feng relaxed a little and decided to listen to what Lao Ding had to say first, there must be something in it that he didn't know.

Lao Ding didn't let Zhang Feng wait for a long time, took a sip of water, rested for a while, and continued: "Although the jade with cracks represents bad luck, there is another situation, that is, what kind of jade is the jade with cracks. ”

Lao Ding looked at Zhang Feng, obviously asking Zhang Feng to answer, Zhang Feng also said cooperatively: "This is just a very ordinary piece of jade, I opened it in the gambling stone field the day before yesterday." ”

Zhang Feng replied truthfully, because he really didn't understand why Lao Ding asked like this, isn't there all ordinary jade in this world? Is there any spiritual jade? Divine jade or something? Even if there is, it is definitely not his piece, because his piece is indeed opened in the gambling stone market yesterday.

Lao Ding listened to Zhang Feng's answer, hated iron and steel, and said: "Hey, if you say so, this piece of jade will definitely not be valuable, you should say, this is a piece of family heirloom jade, the year...... You make up one yourself, and then you have to make up another story, preferably the kind where the hearers are sad and the people who see it cry, anyway, the more touching the better. ”

Lao Ding said something that Zhang Feng didn't understand at all, could it be that it was a family heirloom, and then the jade with cracks could be sold at double the price?

Lao Ding knew that Zhang Feng didn't understand, and said: "How to tell you, there is such a market in Jiang City, I don't know when it came out, it is said that people who have a family heirloom of white jade will be very blessed or something, that is, as the saying goes, Lingyu raises people, you should have heard of this." ”

Zhang Feng nodded, and Lao Ding continued: "So in the jade shop in Jiang City, the most valuable, the most expensive that can be sold, is the family heirloom jade with history, and it is the best with jade internal cracks, do you know why? There is a saying that the heirloom white jade is spiritual jade, which can raise people, but the family has been too blessed, so the spiritual energy in the family heirloom jade has no place to disperse, and it cannot be dispersed in the jade, and then there are internal cracks. ”

Zhang Feng listened to Lao Ding's words like myths and stories, felt funny and helpless, and said: "This can also be a reason?

Zhang Feng is still unbelievable, this is obviously the reason made up by the jade sellers, people who are smarter know that such words can't be believed at all, let alone any nonsense that there is aura in the spiritual jade, even if it is the sentence that has been passed down for so many years, there is no basis for investigation.

Lao Ding showed a little helplessness again, and said: "Anyway, they believe it, so in Jiang City, family heirloom jade is the most sought-after jade species, but where do so many family heirloom jade come from? ”

So when Lao Ding saw this piece of white jade for the first time and saw the crack, he was surprised, so he asked the waiter if the seller of this piece of jade had left anything behind.

But the waiter said no, Lao Ding knew that because this crack was shallow, no one found it, and it was omitted during the inspection, although Lao Ding could point out the flaws of this jade at any time, so that the white jade could not be auctioned, but he did not do it in the end.

After all, it is not easy to come here to auction, and there are many people who are playing with jade with their lives, if he excludes the jade because of his light words, this jade will be considered invalid, and the seller of this jade will be regarded as an empty joy, and it is more likely that the seller will have nothing.

Although Lao Ding is not a compassionate person, but if he can help him, it is just a gesture, and the most important thing is that the crack of this piece of white jade is very, very shallow, basically invisible, he can see it, a large part of the reason is because of luck, so even if it is auctioned out, it is still a problem whether the buyer will find it.

So it's a pity that Lao Ding said just now, in fact, it includes two meanings, one of which is that this piece of jade with heirloom characteristics is not heirloom, which is a pity. Also, since this is not a piece of heirloom jade, just an ordinary piece of white jade, but it has flaws, this is also a pity.

After Lao Ding finished speaking, he lowered his head again to study the crack on the white jade, as if he was thinking of something.

But Zhang Feng remembered another question and asked: "Even if there is such a market, but this piece of white jade is not heirloom, is there a way for you to sell it as an heirloom?"

Zhang Feng said another sentence that he didn't believe, he could indeed make up a story to say that this piece of jade was heirloom, but most of the jade that can be used for family heirlooms is ancient jade with a long history, and rich people are not easy to deceive.

Lao Ding heard Zhang Feng's question and knew that he had asked the point, and indeed this piece of white jade knew on the surface that it was undoubtedly a new jade, how could it be a family heirloom? No one would believe it if he said it. So Lao Dingcai has been pondering this question.

Lao Ding said: "Before, more than ten years ago, I had a jade master master, and he often did this kind of thing. With that, Lao Ding left his desk and came to a large box like a locker to find something, and said: "I learned a lot of skills from him about lack of virtue, not that although I lack virtue a little, but I can really make money." ”

Lao Ding said, and took out an iron, which is the kind of old-fashioned iron used to iron clothes, and now basically no one is using what looks like Lao Ding's private collection. Zhang Feng raised his eyebrows, curious and funny, thinking, what is the use of this?

But Lao Ding didn't give him an answer right away, but put the iron on the desk, picked up the teapot on the desk, and then opened the drawer, grabbed a large handful of tea leaves and put them in the teapot.

Zhang Feng knew that Lao Ding was definitely not making tea to drink, because if this amount of tea was put down, this tea could not be drunk at all. Lao Ding brewed the tea, the tea was very strong, and it looked like he knew that he couldn't drink it.

Then Lao Ding began to heat the iron again, plugged it in, and looked at Zhang Feng and said: "Actually, I was wrong just now, that's not a lack of virtue, as long as you have a clear mind, you know, what kind of jade spirit, jade raising people to save their lives or something is just a lie, those rich people actually know, but they just want to buy a peace of mind, it's all like this, when I used to exchange my life for money, I obviously didn't believe in any cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, but now that I have money, I want to exchange money for my life, so I began to be superstitious." This kind of behavior of ours can't be said to be so ugly as a liar, we just give them a peace of mind, the so-called mentality is the most important, they think that they have bought a spirit jade, keep a good mood at any time, maybe they will live a long life. ”

After Lao Ding finished speaking, he seemed to be amused by his own words and laughed, but Zhang Feng felt that although Lao Ding's words were a bit strong, they were indeed reasonable. When there is no money, they are fearless, they exchange their lives for money, and when they have money, they think that their lives are still important, no matter what kind of value they buy*, in fact, it has no effect, people's life expectancy is such a cyclical process, what they want to buy, is just a peace of mind.

"If you let those people outside hear this, you will definitely not be able to stay in Jiang City. Zhang Feng said with a smile.

Lao Ding raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "I can't stay for a long time, okay! Who else will ask me to appreciate treasures now? But I am only this craft, and nothing else, so if you don't invite me in that store, after this order, I will start my parasite life again." ”

Lao Ding said that he was going to open an antique shop with Zhang Feng in the future, and he was very excited, he was really happy to have such a day, he had a strange personality, his popularity was not good, and his reputation in the circle was already very bad, and it was impossible to get a job at all.

It's the job that came to the * club, if it wasn't for Ning Yuan to help him maneuver in many ways, he wouldn't have been able to come here at all. Now he was suddenly told if he wanted to open an antique shop together, how could he not be happy?
