Where the holes are punched at both ends, there is no problem, and the wear of the holes is also natural.

Tang Yi felt that this dzi could not be a counterfeit of a new work, whether it was the color and naturalness of the "eye", or the moisturizing of the pulp, and the wear and tear of the holes, it was undoubtedly a genuine old dzi.

This appraisal can't be delayed, so Tang Yi smiled and said: "This is a genuine nine-eyed dzi, Uncle Lin, you specially took out something good to open my eyes." ”

"Genuine?" Qin Yuyan's eyes crossed a hint of suspicion, "That's not what Director Li said. ”

Lin Chusheng laughed, "I said a long time ago, Director Li's eyesight is not good. ”

"Then what did Director Li say?" Tang Yi looked at Qin Yuyan with a smile.

Qin Yuyan didn't turn around, "Director Li said that this kind of dzi with artificial dzi is all fake. Only natural dzi is real. ”

Tang Yi smiled dumbly, it seems that Lin Chusheng's contempt for this Director Li is really understandable.

So, is there a dzi that naturally becomes an "eye"?

Yes.

But it's too rare, so rare that it's negligible.

In fact, in Tibet, dating back to very ancient times, there were only natural dzi beads, because the ability to make them could not be reached artificially. Moreover, the earliest dzi was made from conch fossils. Because Tibet was a vast ocean two billion years ago, it is not surprising that such fossils were found.

However, conch fossils are short-lived after all, so this dzi is just a legend. Later, the ancient people in Tibet discovered a rock that contains jade components such as agate, and has naturally formed regular patterns, most of which have been dominated by "eyes".

This is the natural dzi with eyes, and the more eyes there are, the rarer they are.

Director Li's so-called "real dzi" should be like this, so he thinks that all dzi with artificial objects are fake.

However, this kind of rock was also rare in ancient times. Nowadays, natural dzi is not only not seen in the market, but even within Tibetan Buddhism, it is also a top-level holy relic, and the price is simply immeasurable. In other words, you can't buy it.

Later, the dzi beads that were artificially painted by the Tibetan ancients imitated the patterns on this rock, were painted with natural pigments, and then fired at high temperatures by secret methods. Even this kind of dzi, because of the loss of the ancient method, is now very rare. Similarly, the more eyes there are, the rarer it is.

"Has Director Li ever seen this kind of natural dzi?" The corners of Tang Yi's mouth unconsciously made a contemptuous movement, and then he gave a general introduction to the special situation of the natural dzi.

People like Director Li can be seen everywhere in the circle of literary toys and antiques, and I don't know where to hear some stories, so I pretend to be unfathomable, as if I have really seen some top treasures. In fact, don't say that the natural dzi is the best nine-eyed dzi processed by the ancient method in Lin Chusheng's hand, and he may not have seen it before.

Qin Yuyan has lived in officialdom for a long time, how can she not see Tang Yi's implied contempt for Director Li? Director Li's office is in charge of mineral resources, and he also has some research on jade, but when it comes to mysterious things like dzi, it is really just talk on paper.

"Director Li is an expert in mineral resources. Moreover, this kind of artificially drawn dzi was bought for millions of dollars, and Director Li felt that it was really not worth it. Qin Yuyan also answered very cleverly. She could not say that Director Li had not seen it, and she took advantage of the situation to transfer the contradiction. At this point, she and Director Li have the same opinion, it is really not worth it to buy an artefact for millions of dollars.

"Millions?" Tang Yi was really taken aback.

Seeing Tang Yi's surprised look, a subtle smile crossed the corner of Qin Yuyan's mouth. I thought, if you open an antique shop, a few million is probably all the assets, right? I'm sure I'll feel like it's not worth it.

In fact, Qin Yuyan didn't know that Tang Yiguang sold a small piece of glass imperial green to Lin's jewelry, and he got 20 million. It's no wonder that Lin Chusheng didn't tell her, she was usually busy with work, and she didn't communicate much with Lin Chusheng, and she never asked much about Lin Chusheng's company.

Even, before Lin Huanting said that Tang Yi was coming, she heard that Tang Yi was an antique shop, and she immediately had the idea of objecting, and she didn't give Lin Huanting a chance to introduce at all. However, she is also a well-informed lady, so she is still very polite on the surface.

At this point, Lin Chusheng is different from her. Lin Chusheng knows a little about Tang Yi, but he actually has a little appreciation. And Lin Chusheng saw that Lin Huanting had a heart, so he didn't plan to reluctantly oppose it, but wanted to go with the flow.

"Millions are really missing. This dzi is in excellent condition and is large enough. The most common nine-eyed dzi has to start at 10 million, and the market price of this one should exceed 30 million. Tang Yi looked at Qin Yuyan and said lightly.

"What?" Qin Yuyan didn't control it this time and blurted out.

"Didn't you show this dzi to Old Qin?" Tang Yi asked rhetorically.

"Not yet, isn't this what Director Li claims to be an expert? It happened that I came to the house as a guest that day, and I let him see it. Lin Chusheng explained.

"I don't think Elder Qin will agree with Director Li's opinion." Tang Yi continued.

Qin Yuyan's face suddenly became ugly, although this was not her appraisal, but after all, Director Li was her subordinate, and he didn't expect that Tang Yi not only denied Director Li's point of view, but also had a way. Only then did she feel that Lin Chusheng seemed to be deliberately going against her.

"Okay, I've seen the good things too, let's eat? I cooked a lot of dishes today, so you're welcome! Lin Chusheng laughed and made a round, got up and beckoned Tang Yi to the restaurant.

Qin Yuyan naturally didn't dwell on the problems she wasn't good at, and smiled very gracefully, "Let's go." ”

Lin Huanting made a color to Tang Yi and made a lip shape: "Take it easy." ”

During the meal, Lin Chusheng beckoned Tang Yi to eat vegetables, but Qin Yuyan didn't say much at first. After eating for a while, Qin Yuyan said seemingly casually: "Tang Yi, are you also living with your parents now?" ”

"Yes." Tang Yi responded.

"Is it far from here?" Qin Yuyan asked again.

Tang Yi is not a fool, he understood as soon as he heard it, where is this asking about the distance and near, this is asking where the house is.

"A community near the antique street, a three-room house, our family is three people, and it is spacious to live in." Tang Yi is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Wan Ting, this child, has been spoiled by her father since she was a child. Just this villa, she was tossed enough. Qin Yuyan said with a smile.

"Mom, when did I toss up, such a big villa, don't I just sleep in one room?" Lin Huanting said immediately.

Tang Yi also smiled, Qin Yuyan is a mixed officialdom, how can he say it clearly, this sentence seems to be talking about Lin Huanting, which naturally means that if you want to marry my family, how can you have a decent house, right?
