"One is a high-end jade carving, Taishan crow skin stone is moderate, most of them are between half a catty and three catties, more than three catties of large pieces are really rare, more suitable for the creation of small and medium-sized ornaments.

Because of its black skin, good jade, the unique character of the color and become the jade carver is sought after by the high-grade jade material, from Guangdong, Fujian carving creation situation, generally use the whole carving and local carving two ways.

"At present, local carving is more popular in the jade carving world to retain more of its natural and noble skin.

"The second is high-end ornamental products, for the top grade of Taishan crow skin jade with pictographic form and ornamental form, there is generally no need to do carving, and most of them are equipped with high-grade bases, as high-end ornamental products, so as to better protect and collect them for a longer time. ”

"So, my crow skin is not cheap?"

After introducing it for a long time, it was nothing more than saying that this crow skin was very valuable, and Jiulong seemed to have precipitated it in his hand.

"Xiao Huang wants, just give me 30,000, just make a friend, this kind of skin, if it's not a super version of the introduction, I won't sell it for 50,000. ”

Ah Fu's speech was very pleasing, which not only gave a super favor, but also made Kowloon feel that he did not suffer.

Jiulong looked at it carefully, and felt that it was really good, and he didn't have this type in his hands, so he couldn't help but be moved.

"Boss Afu, let's do it, I want this side, you can give me that stone, anyway, you can't look down on the wax stone." ”

Kowloon pointed to an ornamental wax stone that resembles Monkey King and said.

As soon as he came in just now, he saw that this square wax stone, about thirty centimeters, is a standard ornament, with expressive eyes and sharp-beaked monkey gills, which is very vivid.

"Okay, you can take it, and I'll add another little seed for you. ”

Ah Fu picked up a wax stone that was less than two taels and wrapped it together, and handed it to Kowloon very carefully.

"Ah Fu, is there a good carver here?"

Jiulong asked, and he felt that there was no harm in knowing a few more carvers.

"You Fujian workers are very good, we will find them to carve good jade, we have a young man here who carves well, also Fujian, not far from here, you are finished, I will take you to get to know." ”

Lashi watched it silently for a long time, and he didn't get started, Jiulong asked him if he still wanted to choose, Lashi shook his head, and Jiulong signaled to Ah Fu that he could go.

Ah Fu locked the warehouses and led Kowloon and his party to the workshop of the young sculptor Xiao Zhang.

Jiulong was not polite, as soon as he came, he took out the crow skin and asked Xiao Zhang how to carve it to be brilliant.

Xiao Zhang beckoned Jiulong to sit down and drink a cup of kung fu tea first.

In the process of drinking tea, Xiao Zhang talked about his carving method: "I pay attention to 'according to the time, because of the color', to remove the impurities, and then to perfect an incomplete, imperfect stone, then add an artistic value, carving it to perfection, it will become a work of art."

"Its value can be much higher than the value of its own stone.

"However, the art of carving not only raises the price of jade, but also increases the gambling nature of jade, and if it is carved on an inappropriate subject, or even if it is only a bad carving, a good stone may be wasted.

"It is possible that this stone is very beautiful, but the carving is not good, the subject matter is wrong, the artistic conception is not right, you can only say that you have wasted a stone, if you say that your carving is very good, the artistic conception is good, but the texture and color are not good, that is to say, a waste of material work. ”

Xiao Zhang is really honest, he said this, Jiulong was confused, talked for a long time, in case the carving is not good, isn't it said that their own materials are not good, it seems, it is better to be cautious, since Ah Fu said that Fujian work is good, then find an opportunity, to Fuzhou, to find the master to carve well.

Say goodbye to Xiao Zhang, say some words of thanks to Ah Fu, Kowloon and Lashi, then pack their luggage and set off for home.

This trip of thousands of miles has deeply touched Kowloon, and it is always right to go out more.

It's just that this trip to Taishan is too far, and you can't do business like this, you have to find a closer place.

He immediately thought of Ganzhou, and after returning home, Jiulong was not idle, he knew that Lin Shuishi was very familiar with the Ganzhou area, so he called him and asked him if he knew anyone who played seed material in Ganzhou.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Shuishi smiled: "How can there be anyone you don't know, in this way, you go directly to the sixth child, he is a well-known figure in Ganzhou." ”

Subsequently, Boss Lin gave the contact information of Jiulong Lao Liu.

After all, it was the first time to go to Ganzhou, and Kowloon didn't want to go alone, so he invited Lashi and chose a Saturday afternoon to set off together.

The two of them drove to the shop downstairs of the Wulong Commercial and Residential Building in Ganzhou, where the yellow wax stone storefront of the sixth child was opened.

The sixth man was not tall and lean, and when he saw Jiulong coming in, he hurriedly greeted him for tea.

Talking about his own history of collecting yellow wax stone, the sixth child has proud capital, and he is not finished with one mouth.

He said that he played with antiques for nearly 30 years in his early days, so he was particularly sensitive to what was a treasure.

One day in 2008, by chance, he went to the Ganjiang River to play, and found that there were soap-like stones on the beach.

At this time, Huang Longyu has begun to go crazy, he compared Huang Longyu related pictures to see, this soapstone and Huang Longyu seed material is no different at all, it turns out that he also has treasures at home, he immediately became excited, in the following days, he invited three or five friends, as long as he is free, he will go to the sand field to pick up stones.

After two years of such a good life, some locals felt strange and asked him how he picked up stones every day to play, and he always replied that he took the stones home and built a flower garden for himself, which was beautiful.

At that time, in their opinion, if they told the secret to others, how could they still make a fortune?

In his heart, this Ganjiang Yellow Wax Stone is the fifth treasure in addition to sand, stone, iron sand, and gold, and it will definitely be popular all over the country in the future.

The matter of secretly picking up stones has changed this year, and the sixth child found that many good yellow wax stones were used to build houses and pave roads together with sand and stones.

He was entangled in his heart, relying on a few of them to pick up how much he could pick up, he knew that it was a treasure, but he watched it be ruined, isn't it a sin? So he ignored the dissuasion of several other people to pick up stones, and made the matter public, and at the same time announced that he would collect yellow wax stones and discuss the price according to quality.

This is like exploding the pot, all of a sudden, on both sides of the Ganjiang River, the stone picking team is mighty, as long as there is good seed material, it will be robbed in an instant.

According to Lao Liu, since the discovery of Ganjiang yellow wax stone in 2008, there are five major areas of known ore sources: 1, the suburbs of Xingguo County; 2, Wuyun and Shuixi in Ganxian County; 3, Xunwu County three standards; 4, Ancient Pavilion of Chongyi County; 5, Sannan Taojiang and other convergence of the Ganjiang River, from the top of the wax stone area through the water wash sand, washed to Ji'an and Zhangshu City basin, a total length of nearly 1,000 kilometers, along the riverbed out of the high-quality yellow wax stone cryptocrystalline seeds, by the surrounding provinces, cities, regional wax stone lovers sought after;

These colorful, crystal clear, warm and smooth, large storage capacity and high-quality and high-grade Ganjiang yellow wax stone are rich in variety, including crystal wax, fine wax, frozen wax, rubber wax and so on.

The popularity of the Ganjiang Yellow Wax Stone also attracted the attention of a civil servant, his name was Qiu Guangrong, and every day, he came to the old six places to learn from the scriptures.

The sixth child was naturally happy to teach each other, and after getting acquainted, the sixth invited the people who picked up the stone together to discuss the development plan of yellow wax stone.

Everyone agreed that to move forward, the best way is to set up a morning market, so that people who like yellow wax stone have a trading and circulation place every week, and finally, the location was set in front of the sixth store, so they posted a hero post, as long as they know the stone friends can receive a text message notification, to the effect that:
