"Isn't that weird? Just ask if you want. When the two of them went outside, they saw that it was already noon, and the sun was shining outside, so they didn't want to go out, so they went upstairs to find a place to eat.

"Hehe, I won't ask, wait for you to take the initiative to explain." Huang Xiaolin blinked mischievously after speaking, she gradually found that she still liked to "tease" Wu Chen, she was always bullied by him when she was a child, but now it seems to be the other way around, her face is much thicker than Wu Chen's, looking at Wu Chen's face was slightly red from being electrocuted, she felt a sense of accomplishment, no wonder the ancients said that a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!

"Tell me what! I didn't do anything bad! Wu Chen's heart was empty, he couldn't tell Huang Xiaolin what he saw. If you leak your mouth when you ask about it, you will be embarrassed to meet in the future, maybe the other party thinks that she has seen her too! "I just think there's something wrong with this root carving, and I want to buy it back and see it."

"What's wrong? I look pretty good. Huang Xiaolin took the root carving in his hand, in addition to sinking his hands a little, the carving is still very good, especially the protruding head melon of the birthday star, the lines are smooth and natural, and the boy at his feet is also lifelike, "Alas, do you think it will be Yangchun root carving?" "Yangchun City is the hometown of root carving Yashi, root carving culture has a long history, is a provincial intangible cultural heritage, Huang Xiaolin and their company hall, there are a lot of Yangchun large root carving.

"Probably not." Purely from the point of view of carving, Wu Chen can not see where the product is, but he knows that the Yangchun root carving of the Dao Dao was only developed in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, but it is the wood carving of the mountain area, which has been very large-scale since the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is also due to the fact that he once saw the "Chaoshan Wood Carving Special Exhibition" in the museum, so he learned some relevant knowledge, "It looks a bit like our hometown, and it is also coated with a layer of lacquer that I don't know what the Dao is, and the color of the camphor wood is not like this." ”

"Camphor wood?" Huang Xiaolin picked it up and smelled it suspiciously, there was no smell. Wu Chen took it and picked it hard with his fingers, revealing a shallow scratch, Huang Xiaolin smelled it again, and sure enough, there was a very faint camphor fragrance, "But how can it be so heavy?" I thought it was some kind of hardwood in Southeast Asia! ”

"So there's weirdness. The reason why this thing can't smell the smell of camphor wood is that the appearance is painted, and the second is that it is old enough, and you can see that the luster on the surface has sunk into the paint, which is not small! Since Wu Chen has made up his mind that he can't say what he really thinks, he can only search his stomach to find reasons, fortunately, everything in this world is like this, knowing the results, he can find ten thousand reasons to deduce the conclusion, "The most important thing is that I doubt that there is something in it." ”

"You mean lead? Oh, I got it! Maybe it's to pretend to be red sandalwood, so stuff something into it to add weight! Huang Xiaolin guessed excitedly.

"Well, that makes sense!" Wu Chen patted the ass first, if he couldn't see the inside, he would have guessed like this, but he had just seen the inside, although the dazzling yellow light didn't know what the road was, it was definitely not lead or mercury, "It may also be because something is hidden, the weight is too great, in order to cover up, so it was painted and pretended to be red sandalwood." ”

"Ha, I can't see that you are quite contrarian!" Huang Xiaolin thought about it for a while, and praised with a smile.

Wu Chen was embarrassed in his heart, "What kind of reverse thinking!" I just watch some collectible shows a lot, and I know that there is a thing called 'wooden collection'. ”

Seeing Huang Xiaolin's blank look, he explained to her, many people have not heard of the name 'Wood Zozo', but there should be a lot of related things. To put it bluntly, it is to hide things in objects made of wood, which is a very old disguise used to preserve treasures. Most of them are made of wood carving, root carving, and other wood. And the method of its production is not difficult, as long as the wood is split, hollowed out the middle part, and then filled in some things that need to be preserved, and then fitted in a special way, after the fit, and then carved out a variety of forms, and then painted with wax all over the body, so that it looks more like a complete wood carving, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect what is hidden in it.

Similar to this, there are things hidden in the bronze statues, such as the big Buddha in the most beautiful Buddha in "Liancheng Jue", and there are also things hidden in weapons, such as "Yitian Sword" and "Dragon Slaying Knife". Don't look at the principle is very simple, but the difficulty is to be seamless, so that people can't see any flaws, this process is difficult, for example, you hide a book in the sword, which is basically impossible today, when the sword is forged, its own high temperature can turn the pages inside in minutes. Most of these processes have now been lost, and there are not many finished products that survive.

"Isn't that something very precious! Could it be some kind of martial arts cheats or treasure map?! Huang Xiaolin was a little eager to try, and forgot that she had already served a good meal.

Wu Chen's mind is full of black lines... This is still a girl, and Jin Yong's poison is not light! He actually didn't know what was inside the road, the two of them groped for a while, but they couldn't see any gaps, the two heads were together, and Wu Chen couldn't use his ability to explore, so he had to put it aside first, "Let's eat first, I'm starving!" ”

After lunch, there was no place to take a lunch break, because of inertia, Wu Chen's biological clock had not yet adjusted, and he was a little sleepy. Seeing that it was still very sunny outside, the two sat down in place, each asked for a cold drink, and dozed off while drinking.

Wu Chen was in a daze, and heard the two people in the next seat talking, and his voice was full of excitement.

"Have you heard? Today there is a big rise again! ”

"yes, I'm going to get rich all of a sudden, tsk, when will it be my turn?"

"You? Don't dream, gambling stones are all played by big bosses, and it's not enough for you to stuff people's teeth with your little money! ”

“……”

Gambling stones?! Suddenly, it was like a hammer hitting Wu Chen's heart, his ears clanged, his eyes lit up, and the sleepiness in his body disappeared in an instant, and he could only hear the throbbing sound in his heart! Why are you so stupid that you forgot that there is such a thing!

"What's wrong?" Huang Xiaolin saw that Wu Chen suddenly sat up straight, refreshed, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, a little inexplicable, could it be that he saw some beauty? Hmph, anyway, when I met myself again that day, I didn't have anything like this!

"Not much, I suddenly had a good dream, hehe." Wu Chen wiped the corners of his mouth, leaned over his face, and said mysteriously, "Have you rested enough?" Take you to a good place. ”

"Huh? It can't be somewhere, right? Huang Xiaolin's eyes widened, pretending to be worried and scared, as if there was a strange Shu millet in front of her, luring little Lori to buy goldfish.

Wu Chen smiled and didn't answer her first. Although this piece is selling jade, he didn't know where to sell gambling stones, so he stood up and walked to the next seat, and inquired with the two people who were talking, only to know that Lu Dao was originally on this jade street, and there was an underground jade raw material market.

When the two of them arrived below, they realized what it means to have a cave! When you come out of the elevator, you will see a spacious square, and the bright lights are as bright as the ground, so you can't tell that this is underground.

The square is surrounded by several shops, one of which has a trailer full of rocks in front of the store, and the clerks are moving the stones into the store. Looking from the elevator, there is a large passage on the opposite side, with no end in sight, and the sides are lined with stalls made of wooden planks and filled with various stones. The flow of people here is not large, and in some stalls, you can see crowds of people gathering in twos and threes.

"What kind of place is this? How does it look like you're at a fruit market! Huang Xiaolin asked curiously, is it a stone market? But I didn't see any plates, and it didn't make sense to put the stone market underground.

"This is the legendary gambling stone!" Wu Chen was a little eager to try, he was also surprised when he saw this kind of rough stone for the first time, the only thing that worried him was that he didn't know if he could see through these bare-looking stones!

"Emerald Rough?" Huang Xiaolin's eyes lit up immediately, and she had also heard of gambling stones, "Are those stones that can bloom jade?" ”

Wu Chen nodded and said, "Well, but I see that there are a lot of miscellaneous here, in addition to jadeite, there should be other jade or precious stones." The so-called jadeite generally refers to jadeite, which belongs to pyroxene, with a dense texture and a glass luster, and has a faint crystal structure when looking at the light of the jade. Because the hardness is high, it can reach more than 7, so it is called jadeite, and the specific gravity is also larger, and it has a heavy pressure feeling in the hand.

Nephrite belongs to the amphibole category, and the hardness is generally not more than 6-6. 5. It is softer than jadeite, so it is called nephrite. There are many types of nephrite jade, and the jade produced in China, such as Xiuyu, Nanyang jade, Lantian jade, Hetian jade, agate, crystal, coral, turquoise, lapis lazuli, etc., all belong to the category of nephrite. However, because jade produced in the Hotan region of Xinjiang has gradually become the protagonist in the jade processing of the court, official and private jade, nephrite jade has gradually evolved into a synonym for Hetian jade.

"So varied?" Huang Xiaolin was dumbfounded when she heard this, and looked at Wu Chen's eyes differently, "I can't see that you are still a master!" ”

"What a master! Hehe, I'm also rote memorizing, I really want to look at the real thing, unless it's particularly obvious, I can't tell the difference. Wu Chen hurriedly clarified, lest he wait for the stuffing to be exposed, it doesn't matter, at most it is a mistake, "But I heard that gambling stones are generally for jadeite, because nephrite is mostly exposed, even if there is a stone skin, it will not be all round, and the value of the nephrite jade itself is not lower than that of jade meat." ”

The two of them talked and walked around, picking out some clean stalls. Because I don't know too much, I keep asking the stall owners, and I can gradually distinguish which ones are jadeite rough stones, which ones are Hetian jade's wool, and there are all kinds of bloodstone or something, but except for the jadeite rough, the other amounts are not large, and the two don't care too much.
