Chapter 417: Bloodstone

Wu Chen and the others, drinking a little wine, listening to the story, but also happy, to the end, Wu Chen's heart flashed, if this little girl is not deliberately bragging, you might as well let this old Zhang Tou as a guide, take yourself around the mountain, maybe find something! It's not necessarily better than hanging out in the bazaar.

Hearing the little girl tell her heroic history, Lao Zhang was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand again and again, but there was still a kind of smugness on his face, "Don't listen to her brag, hehe, or I'll take out the stone, you see?" ”

"Okay! Then let's meet the uncle's baby! "Big Tooth two bowls of wine, comfortable all around, and listened to the story for a long time, I really wanted to find something to do, and I forgot the fact that I didn't even know what bloodstone was.

Lao Zhang asked his wife to accompany them for a while, and then walked to another room, and after a while, he came over with a large package, and put it on the table with a "bang", occupying most of the table.

Unraveling it, there are several large and small stones inside, the largest is the size of a cantaloupe, and the smallest is only the size of a fist.

If it is under the deep excavation in the mining area, the bloodstone also has hundreds of pounds of large pieces, and even thousands of pounds of rough stones, of course, the same as the jadeite raw materials, so large pieces can not all have chicken blood, but only in the local area, after being divided into a number of fine materials, it is almost so large. I want Lao Zhang to dig stones on the mountain alone, first, it is impossible to dig too deep, and there are very few opportunities to encounter huge materials, and secondly, it is not easy to carry back.

"Uncle, are you also bloodstone? Didn't fool us, did you? Big Tooth waited for a long time, and finally saw the so-called "good things", but the result was a big disappointment, except for two irregular crimson pieces that were slightly the size of copper coins, the others were no different from ordinary stones!

Where is the feeling of being popular all over the country in his imagination, although he doesn't know much about bloodstone, but just like that, it is better to polish those ornaments that cost hundreds of dollars on the roadside stalls in Guangfu! That's it, dare to claim to be the hometown of bloodstone? Isn't it a bit of a fall to Changhua's reputation?

When Lao Zhang heard this, he was a little depressed, and looked at him blankly, where did these students come from, I don't understand it at all, shouldn't it be in vain today!

"Hehe, old man, can you let me take a closer look?" Wu Chen saw that Lao Zhang was a little lost, and hurriedly answered, although he was also the first time that the original stone of bloodstone was made, and he felt that it was too much different from the finished product in his impression, but with the experience of jadeite, it should be about the same as the truth.

"Okay! Look! Lao Zhang shook his head again and again, it is true that there are also chicken bloodstones that completely expose chicken blood, but after all, it is a minority! More of the rough stones are stone skins, but some stone skins are a little less, some are more, and they are all wrapped, unfortunately, he has these pieces, almost all of them are wrapped, but, according to his own experience, as well as the common identification of neighbors and friends, the possibility of bleeding is extremely high!

Now it's up to you to see if you have enough eyesight!

"Wood, it's all up to you!" Big Tooth followed for a while, except that the size was slightly different from the external primary color, he still felt that these were no different from ordinary stones, and the ghost could tell that there would be chicken blood in them!

He was also single, knowing that he was not this material, so he simply pushed this arduous task directly to Wu Chen, sat on the side, poured another bowl of plum wine, and drank it.

"Do you need to find a high-gloss tube?" Wang Yuyuan also couldn't see anything, but after all, she had more time than the big tooth mixed jade market, and she thought it was the same.

"No, there's plenty of light here." Wu Chen shook his head, bloodstone is not jade, it is not the same as jadeite, the texture is not based on transparency, but on thickness, so even if the stone skin is not thick, the high-gloss flashlight cannot penetrate it, and it has little effect. Besides, Lao Zhang was quite kind, and he didn't take them to the dark room to see, but in this hall, there was plenty of light, and he could see the lines on the stone and the direction of the blood.

Of course, even if he can't see clearly, it doesn't matter, he can't really judge the content of the skin by the performance of the skin, and now turning the stone over and over is nothing more than making a show. I didn't check out a piece, I always secretly used my eyes to dip into the stone, and quickly passed it!

As the heir of the Guigu Society, all kinds of important antiques and jade are naturally "courses" that must be studied in depth, Tian Huang, chicken blood, and hibiscus are collectively known as the "Three Treasures of Seal Stone", which is the highlight of the seal miscellaneous, and Wu Chen naturally worked hard.

Needless to say, Tian Huang is known as the "King of Seal Stone", as early as the early Qing Dynasty was selected as a tribute to the court, won the emperor's appreciation, Emperor Qianlong sacrificed to the sky to worship Tian Huang, but also made it worth a hundred times, the status is incomparable, and now it has long been out of production, and it is more precious.

When Wu Chen visited Liu Lao for the first time, he used a piece of Tianhuang "Wenshan Seal" as a meeting gift, and of course Liu Lao also returned him a lot of "gift money".

Hibiscus stone, in fact, is also Shoushan stone, some people call it Baishoushan stone, the primary color is between light yellow and white tender, condensation grease, delicate and pure, with a clean and clear character, known as the "gentleman in the stone" by the literati and scholars, the most easy to play on the "pulp". Its sudden rise is due to the depletion of raw materials of Tianhuang stone, as a substitute for Tianhuang, thus ranking among the "three treasures of printing stone".

As the "after the seal stone", the bloodstone is known for its bright and bright colors, and the top bloodstone is the only one that can compete with Tianhuang.

For the "after the stone seal", Wu Chen did not put a lot of effort, although the finished seals or carvings were all faceted, but he still knew the characteristics of their identification.

One reason, ten thousand miles.

The reason why Wu Chen has such a strong learning ability and is good at drawing inferences from others is undoubtedly a very important reason.

Speaking in detail, this Changhua bloodstone and Burmese jadeite, quite similar, such as the "color" in the jadeite, in the bloodstone, it is called "blood", the principle is in the geological changes, different ions into the stone, resulting in a chemical reaction, over time to form different colors!

With the jadeite due to the different concentrations of chromium ions infiltration and the formation of different "emerald", the "blood" in the bloodstone, due to the degree of penetration of cinnabar, has formed different grades such as bright red, positive red, deep red, purple red, etc., and its shape has a piece of red, strip red, star red, xia red, etc., and can achieve fresh, condensed, thick and the best, deep and thick, deep through the stone, there is a collection or bloodstone grouper balance is better.

Similar to the "farming" of jadeite, the "land" of bloodstone is also divided into several different grades, but it is not distinguished by "X species" like jadeite, but is divided into four categories: frozen ground, soft ground, rigid ground and hard ground.

Combining "blood" and "ground", the grades of bloodstone can be basically divided into Da Hong Pao, Glass Jelly, Tianhuang Jelly, Mutton Fat Jelly, Horn Jelly, Cinnabar Jelly, Lotus Root Jelly, Colorful Jelly, Peach Jelly, Bean Green Jelly, Agate Jelly, Wood Jelly, Fish Brain Jelly, Caviar Jelly, Snakeskin Jelly, Snow Jelly and so on.

All red or unraveled six sides are full of blood, the best, among which the red and psychic bloodstone is called "big red robe", its status, and the imperial green in the jadeite, is the most precious thing in the bloodstone, very few, whether you can meet, all depends on chance, but it is forced.

The rest, according to the blood volume and grade, less than 10% of the blood volume for the general material, less than 30% for the mid-range material, more than 30% for the high-end, common on the market, most of the above these, some profiteers in order to confuse the public, the blood content is only twenty or thirty, are called "big red robe", in order to raise the value.

And like the treasures that are more than 50 percent, or even have more than 70 percent of the best, they are almost impossible to see on the market, and once they are available, they are taken into the hands of dignitaries and nobles, and they are rarely circulated.

Wu Chen recalled the knowledge about bloodstone in his mind, and at the same time manipulated the stones in his hand, and the ability penetrated into it from time to time, but what disappointed him was that these stones also had blood, but the blood that oozed out was too scattered, and it was slightly dark, which was the so-called evil and not righteous, even if it was taken out, it could only be regarded as ordinary.

After examining a few slightly smaller stones one by one, Wu Chen was afraid that he would lose something, so he scanned it uniformly, and made sure that there was really nothing that made him happy, even if it was the one with the most blood, it was only slightly red, and in terms of value, it was not as good as the other one, although there were only a few thin blood streaks, but the color was bright red and pure.

Wu Chen put the stones aside in disappointment, straightened his waist, rubbed his eyes slightly, and relaxed his eye muscles that were a little sore.

It seems that these stones are all excavated piecemeal, and they are not on the veins, so although they contain a certain amount of cinnabar, they are not very important, which is a little regrettable. Now there is the biggest piece left, Wu Chen is ready to take a break and look at it again.

"Alas, uncle, you have a good wine! Sell a jar for us to take away! ”

Seeing Wu Chen's appearance, Daya had a bottom in his heart, it seemed that he hadn't seen anything good, but when he wanted to drink other people's wine, he was annoyed so much, so it was not good to return empty-handed.

This fruit wine is cool and sweet, and there is not much alcohol content, and it is better than any drink to put some and put it in the refrigerator in the car to quench your thirst on the road.

"Hey, what's going on! Since you like it, don't say buy it, just take some back. As soon as Lao Zhang heard this, he knew that today's business was estimated to be yellow, and while disappointed, he still expressed the great kindness of the people in the mountains, calling the old woman and asking her to dig another jar out.

His wife ran out for a while and came back, rubbing his two hands, and Ai Ai was a little embarrassed, it turned out that there was no longer a small altar.

"Then open the vat!" Lao Zhang waved his hands and said proudly.

"Alas!" The wife answered, for fear that Wu Chen and the others would misunderstand that they were stingy, so they called Big Tooth, carried a few large Coke cans, and went to the room on the side.
