Chapter 166: Treasure in Jade (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
PS: Today's first update, ask for monthly pass support, please help, please.
"Hey, it's good."
The clerk put away the knife, and then washed the jade cut noodles powder with water, only to see that the cut noodles were soft and bright, and a bright and brilliant light flashed directly in the sun.
Bao Longtu ran up and touched it, and immediately smiled: "It's good, although it hasn't reached the level of mutton fat and white jade, but it looks really clear." ”
"This is also pure white jade." Luo Shui said with a smile: "After fine grinding and polishing, it is coated with a layer of wax, which is also similar to mutton fat white jade." ”
"It's just like that, but it's not true." Bao Longtu shook his head, then stood up and said, "Continue to cut, and by the way, grind the spotted part." Be careful, don't chop it. ”
"No problem, just leave everything to me." The clerk said with a smile, he has a lot of experience in calcing stone grinding stones, and there will definitely be no trembling hands that will shake the jade material.
While speaking, the clerk restarted the cutting machine again, and then gently sharpened it, according to the meaning of Bao Longtu, and methodically cut off the jade material that was broken or unpleasant.
This is a slow process, not too fast or too fast, lest the mechanical shock force will crack the jade.
Fang Yuan and the others waited patiently until half an hour later, the rough stone skin of the jade material had all been cut, leaving only a ball of pure white and shiny jade flesh. But then again, after the stone skin and the broken parts were cut, the volume of the whole piece of jade really shrank a lot, and it directly changed from basketball to volleyball.
Seeing this, Bao Longtu shouted directly: "What's going on? ”
"The main reason is that the guests are too detailed." The shopkeeper explains: "Actually, there is some leather. It can be left behind, and with the skillful decoration of the jade carver, it can definitely become a part of the carving......"
"I'm not asking about volume." Bao Longtu frowned and said, "I'm asking about this crack." How did it go straight to the inside? ”
The volume has shrunk, which is expected, and Bao Longtu didn't care about it, but what he couldn't accept was that there was obviously a deep crack in the jade, a crack that directly penetrated into the inside of the jade.
This crack is in the original crushed stone crust. I thought it was a disease of scabies, but I just need to grind it off, but who knows how to cut off a layer. The fragmentation is still there, and it has a tendency to penetrate the interior.
"Little brother, this is a very normal situation." The shopkeeper hurriedly defended: "You must know that this is mountain material, not like seed material or mountain water material." Often long-term water milling. The interior is naturally integrated. The mountain material is buried in the mountain, and it is easy to mix with various minerals, and it is normal for it to have locks and cracks......"
"Okay, no need to explain."
At this moment, Fang Yuan waved his hand, and then stretched out his finger and lightly scratched the jade crack: "Cut it here again, pay attention to the fact that it is not a positive cut, but an oblique cut." ”
"Still cut?" Now. Not only was the owner surprised, but even Bao Longtu was a little puzzled. He simply asked, "How many pieces are you going to cut the jade into pieces?" ”
"Just cut one cut, and cut this one again." Fang Yuan hesitated, and also found a reason: "Don't you also want to know, what is the condition of this crack, cut it and it will be clear." ”
"Yes, it does." Bao Longtu immediately changed his attitude and said very supportively: "I can't see it on the surface, I'm afraid that the cracks will have many fork......s like centipedes inside."
"No, definitely not." The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "If it is cracked, it is also a slight crack, just a little flaw, and it will definitely not affect the overall situation." ”
"It doesn't matter if you say it, you have to cut it to know." Bao Longtu gestured: "Man, do me another favor and cut it diagonally." ”
"Okay."
Seeing the shopkeeper nodding, the clerk was also very refreshed, changed a very thin cutter, and then cut it gently. As soon as the knife went down, the white powder immediately flew up, this is jade powder, it has been wasted so much, it makes people feel distressed.
A moment later, a piece of jade was peeled in half. When the clerk stopped the cutting machine, Bao Longtu hurriedly picked up the half jade and cleaned it.
"Luckily, fortunately." After taking a closer look, Bao Longtu was a little relieved: "The crack is not big, it is not serious." ”
"That's all I said." The shopkeeper also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and took the opportunity to say: "It is normal for such a large piece of jade to have locks and cracks, but it must be just a small flaw, and it is impossible to destroy the overall structure of the jade material." ”
"Well, it's your boss." Bao Longtu said casually, then washed the two pieces of jade and wiped the water stains, and then slowly appreciated it.
"Show me." Fang Yuan picked up the larger piece of jade material and looked at it, after all, it was just a cut, not polished, so the jade material was somewhat rough, but he could feel some delicate like fat. Clean white jade, in the case of sufficient light, is easy to shine like jewelry.
After Fang Yuan watched it, he suddenly held the jade material high, and then looked into the light. At this moment, this piece of jade also seemed to become translucent, giving people a feeling as clear and transparent as water.
"Huh, what's going on?" Bao Longtu looked at it and was immediately stunned, because he found that there seemed to be a dim shadow in the translucent jade material.
"What's wrong?" The people next to him hurriedly came closer to watch, and then understood the reason why Bao Longtu was shocked. I saw that when Fang Yuan held the jade material high to welcome the light and watched, there was actually a dark shadow the size of an egg in the transparent jade material.
This situation, as if there was a cloud of impurities hidden in the clean white jade, naturally made people frown, confused and somewhat worried. All in all, whether the shadow is an impurity or a crack, it will definitely affect the value of the jade.
"I knew there was something wrong with this crack." Bao Longtu said angrily: "Boss, what else do you have to say?" ”
"This ......" The owner of the store hesitated, he wanted to justify, but in this way, he would definitely lose three big customers, but if he didn't defend it, it would affect the reputation of the store when it spread, which was really a dilemma.
"Buns, don't rush." Fang Yuan had a little joy in his eyes, and after appeasing Bao Longtu, he turned around and asked, "Boss, do you have a flashlight here?" ”
"Flashlight?" The shopkeeper was stunned and said, "What do you want a flashlight for?" ”
"Take a look at the shadows." Fang Yuan said truthfully, he was a little excited in his heart, but he still maintained restraint, so he didn't show his excitement. Still, his request came as strange to some.
At the same time, among the few people watching the excitement next to him, one person's eyes flashed slightly, and then he took the initiative to stand up and say: "Little brother, I have a flashlight......
While speaking, the man handed the flashlight to Fang Yuan, then squinted at the jade material, and suddenly asked, "Little brother, do you sell this piece of jade material?" ”
"Huh?"
Suddenly, everyone present was even more strange, Fang Yuan and the others didn't know the details of this person, but the shopkeeper and a few other people who watched the excitement knew very well that this person was a frequent customer of gambling stones, and he was very experienced, and he could always cut out jade every once in a while, and he was also well-known in the circle.
It was only when he knew the details of this person that the shopkeeper and others had doubts about his move to buy jade, you must know that this person is usually only interested in gambling stones, why did he suddenly buy jade?
"See what I'm doing?" The man found himself in the spotlight and immediately explained, "Didn't you notice that this piece of jade resembles a ...... Wolong, I bought it and asked someone to carve it into an ornament, whether it was to put it at home and enjoy it for myself, or to sell it to make a small profit, it was not a loss. ”
"Yes." A group of people laughed, and two words were written directly on their faces, don't believe it!
"Believe it or not." Xunren pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "Little brother, your piece of jade is a little flawed, but who told me to like it, it fits my eyes, so it's better to give it to me." The price is negotiable, it's hard to buy a thousand dollars, and it won't make you lose anyway. ”
"I'll talk about it later, I'll take a look first." Fang Yuan smiled, and immediately turned on the switch after taking the flashlight, and a beam of light shot out. He adjusted it so that the beam of light condensed into one point, and then shone directly towards the shadow in the jade.
Everyone naturally paid attention, and saw that under the illumination of the beam, the jade material, which was originally quite clear, became more transparent, and the shadows in the jade material seemed to be dispelled little by little under the illumination of the strong light.
After a few moments, the beam stabilized, and the shadow in the jade material was completely invisible, replaced by a bright silver mass looming.
"Oh, what is this?" Bao Longtu opened his eyes wide and looked closely, but after all, he was separated by a layer of jade, and he couldn't see the clue at all.
"Whew, what is this?" In an instant, several people who watched the excitement looked at each other, and there was some understanding in their eyes, and then they all showed their ambitions.
"Little brother, do you sell this piece of jade?" Suddenly, someone preemptively said: "The thing also fits my eyes, and I also want to buy it and make it into a carving." ”
"Rub, steal my lines." The first person to ask for the price was very upset.
"Little brother didn't promise you just now, it doesn't prevent us from competing fairly."
"That's it, it's ......"
Several people were eager to try, and there was a bit of-for-tat.
"Could it be that there is a treasure in the shadows?" Bao Longtu is not stupid, he thought of this possibility in an instant, and judging from the demeanor of several people, this possibility is very high.
"Alas, it's all your fault, I can't pick it up." Someone shook his head and sighed, which also confirmed Bao Longtu's guess.
"You pig ......"
At the same time, several people scolded in their hearts, thinking that this person was purely a pig teammate, and Bao Longtu was just a tentative inquiry, not necessarily sure the quality of things, this person actually said it directly, it was simply a pig brain.
Of course, scolding is scolding, but several people also know in their hearts that once the competition starts, the details of things will definitely be exposed, and it is nothing more than the difference between early and late.
"I think about it, I think I've heard people say something like this." At this moment, Luo Shui pondered: "It seems to be a very precious treasure, very rare, but not sought......
"Really?" Bao Longtu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of treasure is it?" (To be continued......)
