Qian Xiaohao said: "Even some big families don't dare to cut all the rough stones, they can't afford to pay that price, so there is this gambling stone event, when the time comes, they only need to pay a little high price to buy the spirit jade they need, and the ones that are cut will be distributed to other people." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It's cunning." Yu Shandao.

Qian Xiaohao said: "Let's take what you need!" If it were us, how would we have a chance to get so many rough stones? So, as long as you are a little confident, you can try your skills. ”

"Come, come, let's go over there first, see if you can, kill the live clam to get the pearl, this is to bet on pearls, let's see if your eyesight is okay first." The car was driving, and Qian Xiaohao suddenly stopped.

"5 yuan a piece, is it reliable? It can't be fake, right? Pang Tong said.

"What kind of pearl is real? If you want to buy a pearl necklace, but you are worried that you will buy a bad quality, you are afraid of wolves and tigers, and you will not be able to get good things into your hands. Qian Xiaohao said.

"This looks like a charlatan, is it really a pearl? Is it really our turn? Yu Shan sneered.

Such a simple deception, Qian Xiaohao can't see it?

Killing live mussels and taking pearls, stringing necklaces and grinding pearl powder on the spot, it looks really real, but the "greasy" inside doesn't need to be thought, don't look at it, guess it.

Such scenes are often staged all over the country, and there are also media reports many times, and it happens that Yu Shan has seen this kind of report, of course, he was pulled by Ning Zhen to watch, because he has made a fortune recently, he is a little arrogant, and he wants to buy something good for his mother, so he was educated by Ning Zhen.

There are many such scams, often in some high-traffic areas, or at trade fairs, where several people put a bunch of mussel shells and boxes of pearls, and a signboard reads "Kill live mussels to get pearls" and "Fake one pays 10,000 yuan" and so on.

You can buy mussel shells and pearls separately, and you can also process them on site, generally 5 yuan or 10 yuan a piece for sale, generally a necklace of 40-60 beads, about 200 yuan, and the better quality is more expensive.

So are these pearls real or fake?

Before answering this question, let's popularize the production process of pearls and some common sense of pearl necklaces.

First of all, most of the pearls circulating in the market are artificially cultivated, and the pearls used as pearl necklaces are basically freshwater lake pearls.

After the cultured pearls have grown, the pearl farmers will first open the pearls one by one, and then pick out the pearls inside, which are rinsed and disinfected, and then manually divided into several grades according to size, shape and quality.

Pearls with good luster and shape, large and round, are sold as expensive jewelry, medium quality pearls are pierced into semi-finished necklaces, and the rest are sold by the pound according to size.

After this process, the pearl is considered to be a semi-finished product and enters the market.

And these pearls and mussel shells here are semi-finished products of this period, just look at the simple and rude production of pearl necklaces by those bosses, and charge a processing fee of 100 yuan to 200 yuan each, you can know that they are cheating people.

So whether it is the pearl you take out of the shell alive, or the pearl you buy, it is genuine, but it is a worthless semi-finished product, no matter which way you get the pearl necklace, it is actually a loss.

If you buy pearls directly, it is five to ten yuan per pearl, and they are processed into necklaces for free, and their processing process is to punch the Sichuan into a string, and the real pearl necklace is not so simple to make.

When pearls are made into necklaces, they need to go through knots, buttons and other processes, so to distinguish the quality of a pearl necklace, not only look at the beads, but also look at the quality of the necklace knots and the material of the button.

If the necklace is not knotted, the beads and beads will rub against each other, shortening the life of the necklace.

Generally, a good pearl necklace will use a gold or silver button, and a bad one will be replaced by copper or other materials, and after a period of time, the button will easily change color.

"Having said so much, do you understand? These pearls taken directly from the mussels are indeed true, but the general quality is relatively poor, most of the pearls, have deep threads and flaws, and the purchase price is only a few dimes.

A pearl for a few dimes is sold here for at least five yuan, and the price has increased tenfold, so at this time, you will be given a free processing necklace, and people will also make money, so will you come over to bet on pearls? In fact, there is no need to bet, there are pearls in every mussel. Yu Shan laughed at Qian Xiaohao with a smile.

Seeing Qian Xiaohao's face change, Yu Shan said again: "Besides, kill the live mussels and take the pearls, if it is a real rare pearl, the merchant will never do it, the jewelry-grade pearls sold by regular merchants are all grown in the muscle tissue of the pearl oyster, and there is a protective film on the outer skin, which is not so easy to take out."

Pearls taken out directly from the belly of live mussels can not be directly used to process jewelry, jewelry-grade pearls must go through cleaning, bleaching, polishing and other procedures to become finished products, and these pearls that are now killed and sold are generally implanted in a kind of nucleus in the river mussel in advance, and then the river mussel generates pearls accordingly, up to about 30 pieces.

It is difficult to say how many pearls are naturally produced in the mussels, sometimes there is only one, and the pearls that can really grow round and big are very rare, such freshly made pearl necklaces on the stalls, a maximum of thirty or forty yuan, and a good quality pearl necklace, generally worth more than a thousand yuan. ”

"That's true." Pang Tong nodded, he also had some money in his hand recently, so he naturally knew the value of the pearl necklace, because he also wanted to buy one for his mother.

Jewelry pearls are divided into different grades from color, size, shape, finish and other factors, and the price difference is huge, far from the pearls on the stalls.

The pearl oysters brought by these merchants, each of which had thirty or forty pearls, so they dared to shout, buy pearls for free processing, buy live mussels, and charge according to the number of pearls.

A pearl mussel sells for ten yuan and eight yuan, and it still costs one to two hundred yuan to process a pearl necklace, so it still costs two hundred yuan for each necklace.

It can be said that as long as you are interested, it is equivalent to being deceived, and no matter how you choose, you will suffer.

"You've been a lot smarter lately, huh? Do you even know this? After parking the car, the three of them passed by the stall, and sure enough, everyone who bought pearl mussels would get a large number of pearls, so Qian Xiaohao was a little impressed by the mountain.

"Hiding in the valley every day, you can't use it all for a daze, right? I still need to learn a little, so I'm getting smarter than the two of you. Yu Shan said with a smile.

"Just blow it!" Pang Tong rolled his eyes and said.

"What's bragging? I don't say, you two must have been deceived. Yu Shan said proudly.

"Alright, hurry up, this is the place." Pang Tong looked at the front and said with a smile at Yu Shan.

"Huh? Or is it here? How many rough stones can be loaded in that place? Yu Shan saw that it was still the original small square, and behind the square rockery was the jade trading market.

Yu Shan didn't pay much attention to it just now, it turned out that the group of pearl sellers was on the edge of the small square, and they occupied a large area and blocked this small square.

Now Yu Shan and the others have crossed the small square and are already approaching the rockery behind the square.

Yu Shan glanced around the small square and found that the number of people who had set up stalls here had increased a little, while the old men who had been here had disappeared.

"The fortune teller should belong to the Golden Gate among the ten deception arts." Pang Tong said suddenly.

Yu Shan nodded and said, "Speaking of which, these rivers and lakes are really widespread. ”

"They don't have much cohesion, they are a very scattered genre, they don't even know each other, and they don't know each other." Qian Xiaohao said.

Yu Shan nodded, fortunately this is the case, otherwise the influence of the Ten Sects of Deception would be too wide.

"Why did you choose this place again? Didn't you say that there were a lot of gambling stones this time? Yu Shan asked strangely.

Qian Xiaohao said with a smile: "The trading market here has expanded, and besides, this time to enter the market, the margin will be 10 million, so there are many stones and few people, and I am not afraid that I can't fit it." ”

While dodging the stalls in the small square, the three of them walked towards the small rockery.

There are also a lot of stalls on the side of the road below the rockery, and now it is June, the sun is still quite strong, and these stalls are all hiding under the shade of the pine trees under the rockery.

"Be careful, huh? Wait, I saw an acquaintance. As soon as he avoided a stall, Yu Shan stopped.

Before Yu Shan came to a stall, he had paid a lot of attention this time, he opened the eye of heaven and carefully observed the things on the stall.

The most on the stall is some wood products, the big one is the root carving, the small one is the wood carving, and the small one is all kinds of beads, seeing these things, Yu Shan was a little disappointed.

"No jade ornaments?" Yu Shan asked involuntarily.

"Huh? No, only strings of beads. The boss said.

"Aren't there a few fleshy bones left?" Qian Xiaohao said with a smile.

The stall owner was also funny, and he smiled and said, "Those meat and bones are not mine, the old king of the Gobi." ”

At this time, Yu Shan's attention was also attracted to those bones, and the moment he saw the bones, Yu Shan frowned.

"What kind of bone is that? How is it so small? Yu Shan looked at the porcelain-white bones, how they looked like real bones.

"Dog bones, handicrafts, evil spirits, how about a few young men each have one?" The boss next to him said with a smile.

Yu Shan squatted down, making Qian Xiaohao and Pang Tong, who were watching the excitement on the side just now, stunned, the two of them naturally knew that the jade ornaments that Yu Shan had raised in Tianyuan Valley, and they also knew that the quality of those jade ornaments was very good.

It was obtained by Yu Shan by accident Taobao, and he has been boasted by Yu Shan recently, so this time Yu Shan asked the boss if he had any jade ornaments, and Qian Xiaohao would laugh at Yu Shan, laughing at him for being greedy and insufficient, thinking that Taobao was so easy to pick up leaks?
