Chapter 258 The body is like clotted fat, and the essence is light
Because it was already early, everyone carried the two pieces of jade back to the camp.
Their tent was connected to the camp in Kurban, but it was independent, so it was not a problem for a few people to stay together.
It's just that when Zhang Tianyuan borrowed the grinding machine, he still aroused the interest of several jade pickers, and they heard that Zhang Tianyuan and others had picked up good jade from outside, and they all came to join in the fun.
Of course, the misunderstanding will not be saved, because the jade retrieved by Zhang Tianyuan and others belongs to mountain water and seed material, while the jade produced by this vein is all mountain material, and the difference is very big.
borrowed a grinder, Zhang Tianyuan did it himself, Xie Yu This kind of work, he still does it himself, and he is always a little uneasy to let others do it.
Of course, others don't know that he has that special function, so they are all very nervous, especially Sima Yi, who actually bit his lip and bit blood, and that nervous look made Zhang Tianyuan laugh.
Sima Yi didn't worry about Zhang Tianyuan, he was afraid that Zhang Tianyuan would damage the jade meat, after all, these two pieces of jade were very valuable, but after all, the jade was found by Zhang Tianyuan, and he was embarrassed to say it, so he could only toss his lips.
Nephrite jade is more emerald than jadeite, if it is bumped, it is easy to break, not to mention the grinder, not only Sima Yi is nervous, in fact, the rest of the people are nervous, even the jade pickers who are watching the excitement on the side are so nervous that they dare not come out with one.
"I said you, don't believe me so much, take it easy, take it easy. If this jade is broken, will I compensate everyone?" Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"No, no, no. The jade was originally found by you, how can you still make you pay for it. We are also conditioned, conditioned. You don't have to worry about it, just go ahead. Sima Yi hurriedly said.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled, knowing that it was unlikely that these people would calm down, so he would simply try his best to get the jade out, otherwise he wouldn't be in a hurry to die.
In fact, he can understand the feelings of these people, in order to protect the integrity of nephrite, the ancients even wrapped the jade with the donkey skin of the donkey they had just killed, and protected it layer by layer, just for fear of breaking it.
It is said to have been inspired by this. A very terrifying blood jade was actually born.
This kind of blood jade does not refer to just that kind of jade, but refers to the jade that has penetrated the blood, whether it is jade, Hetian, or topaz and other categories, as long as it is really bloody, it is blood jade, and the formation of blood jade is related to the corpse. When a person is buried, the jade that is used as a jade is forcibly stuffed into the population, if the person has just died. When the jade is stuffed in one breath, it will fall into the throat with the qi and enter the dense blood vessels. It has been left for thousands of years, and the dead blood is stained. The blood thread goes straight to the heart of the jade, and a gorgeous blood jade will be formed.
This kind of stuff often falls under the swallow of the skeleton. It is the most precious of all the corpses. Prices can range from a few thousand to a million. So the pseudo-merchants also used a similar natural means to make blood jade. Stuff the jade into the dog's mouth, then seal the mouth, and after the dog is choked to death, the bones are buried in the ground. If you dig it again after a few decades, you can get the blood jade.
Of course, whether it is human blood or dog blood, it is more psychic, and the dog blood jade has resentment condensed in it, which is not good for the wearer. The reason why there are so many blood jade in contemporary times is because it is obtained by artificial dyeing, and such jade is not blood jade, and there is no spirituality at all.
Now there is also a kind of blood jade is the best Hejiang white jade, buried under the skin of the lamb, so that the blood penetrates deep into the jade, and then taken out after a few years, this kind of jade is very expensive, and it is rare on the market.
Of course, Zhang Tianyuan didn't say anything about the blood jade, these people were already nervous enough, he couldn't add some terrifying atmosphere to it.
Zhang Tianyuan held the grinding machine in his hand, just concentrating on solving the jade, because he knew how big the jade flesh of the jade material was and how to lay it out, so this action was relatively fast, and all the impurities were directly removed, and the first piece of jade was solved in this way.
"Weigh it and see how much it weighs!" Zhang Tianyuan smiled and washed the jade with clean water, and then handed it to One-eyed.
The one-eyed is as if it is the result of Tang Sanzang's Buddhist scriptures, that is called a cautious, took the jade and weighed it, it is two and a half catties, which is not much worse than the two catties estimated by Zhang Tianyuan.
Of course, Zhang Tianyuan deliberately said that it was bad, otherwise it would be easy to arouse suspicion.
"If you count 50,000 yuan a catty, this is more than 120,000! One-Eye said with a thumbs up.
"The really good thing is still that piece of mountain and water, I'll solve it together, you all get out of the way, don't let the lime splash your eyes. Zhang Tianyuan started to do it again.
This time, it was obvious that the tension of the people around them had eased a lot, because they had seen Zhang Tianyuan's technique before, and now they were all relieved.
There is basically no difference in the method of unraveling jade, but because this piece is relatively large, it just took some more time.
After this piece of jade is unraveled, just looking at the texture is already very attractive. It is what Chen Xing's "Jade Record" says, "the body is like clotted fat, the essence is light inside, the quality is thick and warm, and the veins are dense". A good piece of Hetian jade, the first thing you feel is like a piece of "condensation", white jade like mutton fat, like lard, topaz like chicken fat, oily, glutinous, crispy.
Hetian jade is different from jadeite, jadeite requires bright and bright luster outward, and Hetian jade requires "fine light inside", luster contained in the inside, not through the outside, just like a person, temperament inside and not exposed; because it is "body such as clotted fat" and "fine light inside the car Yun", so it gives people the feeling of "thick and warm", here the word "warm" is very important, it is the most common word we use to describe Hetian jade, the so-called "warm and moist like jade", jade has become synonymous with "warm".
Mild and moist is a feeling, Hetian jade is actually cold on the face, but it looks like it feels warm, and the feeling of "clotted fat" is of course moist, not dry. "Dense vein" means that its texture structure is solid and fine, which is reflected in the perceptual understanding, one is that the appearance is very delicate, and the other is that it is hard and does not eat knives.
Zhang Tianyuan was still there admiring it, but One-Eyed couldn't wait to take the jade to weigh.
"This is just five catties in weight! If one catty is 250,000 yuan, this is more than 1.2 million yuan, Consultant Zhang. I'm really convinced, and I'm so impressed. ā
One-Eyed is just talking. But Sima Yi really knelt down for Zhang Tianyuan, with that pious appearance. It's like worshipping God.
In fact, it is no wonder that the first piece of jade is divided into five people, and one person can get more than 20,000 yuan, and the second piece of jade is divided by six people, and one person can also get more than 200,000 yuan.
The most important thing is that in addition to a slight difference in the estimated weight, both in terms of color and texture. are all the same as what Zhang Tianyuan said, coupled with Zhang Tianyuan's self-confidence and skills, they can't be convinced.
"You've made a fortune this time, you've got a treat, you have to have a treat. The jade picker coaxed.
Although there is a saying that there is a desire to make money, this is not very applicable to these jade pickers, these people have seen a lot of good jade, others are someone else's, and their own is their own. They are clearly divided.
Of course, it is not excluded that there are black-hearted people in it, but Zhang Tianyuan and others are relatively lucky, and the jade pickers here. It's all very unpretentious.
"Don't worry, you're definitely treated! Wait for you, I'll take Shinra to hunt. I will improve your food today, and I will wait for you to go down the mountain later. I'm asking you to eat better. Zhang Tianyuan smiled and ordered the one-eyed people to put away the two pieces of jade. I took the HRE out hunting.
The one-eyed ones wrapped the two pieces of jade separately with a blanket, and then tied them up again, so that even if they fell to the ground, because the blanket had borne most of the force, the jade would not break easily.
Of course, a few of them didn't dare to leave this jade, and there were people staring at them in and out, not because they didn't worry about those jade pickers, but they were afraid that this thing would disappear, after all, it was too precious for them.
Alpha had a gun, so he went out hunting with Zhang Tianyuan, but he basically didn't use the gun.
Shinra doesn't look at his small physique, but his sharp claws can easily cut the throat of game.
Relying on the HRE, they actually got two wild goats, one roasted and eaten, and the other was made into mutton pilaf, so that they could eat for several days, after all, the temperature on the mountain was relatively cold, so they could put it for more time.
The jade pickers ate a beautiful meal, drank some wine, and went back to sleep, Zhang Tianyuan was also going to rest, but saw One-Eye walk out of the tent, Sima Yi and Kun Zhou also followed, at this time a bright moon hung in the sky, and the scenery was very beautiful.
"You don't still want to go to the jade fishing, do you?" asked Zhang Tianyuan with a smile.
"No, with those two pieces of jade, we are already satisfied, we want to take advantage of the moonlight to find the ore vein, we can't let you run for nothing. One-Eye said.
Zhang Tianyuan knows that there is a saying in ancient times that "there is beautiful jade in the moonlight".
In ancient times, there was a strict system for fishing jade, people worshiped Hetian jade as a treasure, and every time before picking jade, the king of Khotan would come to the scene in person, symbolizing "fishing jade in the river" to show piety. There are many myths or witchcraft sayings that are similar to folk jade, such as "there is beautiful jade in the moonlight", which means that the beautiful jade will reflect the halo of the moon, but in fact, the reflectivity of Hetian jade is not large.
In addition to this, the ancients also believed that jade gathered the light of Taiyin, so it was easier to find women with feminine recruitment. This is the so-called "Yin Man Zhaoyu".
Why was Gulzana assigned to the team to search for ore and jade?
Historically, the Uyghur people mainly picked or fished jade from the river. "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Khotan" records: "Every autumn, the people of the country take jade from the river, which is called fishing for jade." It can be seen that jade mining is seasonal, mainly in autumn and spring.
Many rivers in the Kunlun Mountains are fed by melting snow and ice in the summer, and the water swells and carries jade fragments down the river, and when it reaches the low mountains and piedmont areas, the flow slows down, and the jade piles up in the river beaches and riverbeds. In autumn, the weather is cold, the river gradually falls, and the jade is revealed, and the temperature is suitable at this time, and you can enter the water to collect jade. After being frozen for a winter, in the spring, the ice and snow melt, the jade is exposed again, and the jade can be mined again.
And these jade picking seasons, all kinds of so-called witchcraft, magic has prevailed, and it has not changed until now, what moonlight to find jade, what yin people recruit jade, these actually do not have much scientific basis.
So of course Zhang Tianyuan didn't build yƬ They went out, it was not safe outside at night, not only there were wild beasts, but more importantly, the moonlight was not as good as the day, you sometimes looked at the wrong place, and if you stepped on the edge of the cliff, it would be over.
"Okay, go back, sleep well, we still have a long time, just get up tomorrow and look for it, if something happens at night, I can't take care of it." Zhang Tianyuan stopped One-Eye and the others and said.
"Okay, tomorrow we won't go fishing for jade, how about helping Advisor Zhang find jade mines wholeheartedly?" One-eyed glanced back at Ismail Yi and Kun Zhou, and at this time Alpha and Gulzana also came out.
"No problem, we've already touched a lot of consultants, and it's no problem to help him. Sima Yi nodded.
"Well, I think so too. ā
"I didn't want to gain anything, but I made a fortune the first time I entered the mountain, thanks to Brother Zhang, I was the first to support. Gulzana also laughed.
"I'm okay too. Alpha laughed.
"So be it, sleep well tonight, don't toss. Zhang Tianyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had seen so many dangers on this mountain, so he was very worried, for him, in fact, making money now is secondary, the key is not to kill people.
He has money, he just wants to make more, but if he loses his life because of this, he will really not be able to be at peace for the rest of his life. (To be continued......)
