"You mean it's fake?" Hu Shu couldn't help asking.

"Naturally, or it's just the price of mountain material. Drum material is formed after cutting mountain material, Russian material, Qinghai material, Korean material, etc. into small pieces, polishing and dyeing the surface. Of course, there are also some sandblasting pores, fake skin and other fraudulent methods. But the fake thing is naturally not real. The seed material has its own way of identification, starting from the color, sweat pores, aquatic weeds, skin color, cracks, etc., you can distinguish the real from the fake. ”

"Then you can talk to us quickly." Hu Shu looked very curious, while the little girl was just listening quietly.

"The first color, the seed material under the light or sunlight, whether you look at it from a distance, the color is unchanged, while the other materials, from a distance, will be more or less blue or cyan, which is not much different from the color of close up."

After Li Le finished speaking, several people picked up two stones and compared them to the sun, Li Le didn't say anything, just waited for them to finish reading before continuing: "And sweat pores, this is a unique feature of Hetian seed material. Real seeds, no matter how delicate, will have countless fine pores on their surface, just like human skin. There are abrasion marks on the roller, which are very clear under the magnifying glass, and there are no natural sweat pores. Of course, not every one of them can be seen clearly, and the finished parts after polishing and grinding are relatively blurry. ”

As he spoke, Li Le took out a few magnifying glasses from the cabinet in the room and handed them to them.

"It's really sweaty pores!" Under the magnifying glass, Hu Shu looked extremely surprised.

And after Ran Hongling observed slightly, he said: "What about the remaining cracks, aquatic weeds and skin color?" ”

"Cracks are easier to understand, and there is a saying in the seeds, the so-called ten seeds and nine cracks, which are cracks. Because of the long-term erosion and collision in the riverbed, it will be more or less cracked, and the cracks often invade the skin color, while the drum material and polishing material are relatively perfect, rarely cracked, and can be seen in a number of initially polished sections. ”

After a slight pause, Li Le continued: "As for the invasion of aquatic weeds, it is the result of tens of thousands of years of mineral infection, it is the long-term contact between the metal salt and the seed jade, along both sides of the shallow crack and the fibrous crystals of the seed jade, forming this kind of infection with burr edges, which is the mark of time, and it cannot be faked. ”

"The skin color is also naturally affected in the process of river washing, and the color is more layered, and the natural transition from the flesh is natural. The color on the skin is from deep to shallow, and the crack is from light to deep, which is easy to see. ”

After Li Le finished speaking, several people fiddled with the materials in their hands without listening, and carefully observed, obviously digesting what Li Le said.

Later, Li Le explained the various skin colors of the seeds, which are generally different in shape, such as clouds, scattered and fibrous.

The seeds on the table are basically specially selected by Li Le, and the skin colors are diverse. At the same time, Li Le also briefly explained to them what kind of skin color is more expensive and what kind of value is lower.

Of course, if a piece of jade only pursues the color of the skin and does not look at the quality of the flesh, then it has the meaning of buying and returning the pearl and going to the end. When choosing ingredients, you must first look at the quality of the meat, starting from the color and warmth.

In addition, Li Le also successively told them some knowledge about jade, Hetian jade seeds are not blindly white, but the value of white is generally higher. There are also four kinds of blue, ink, yellow, and blue, and on top of these five basic colors, there are thousands of different colors, which cannot be completely covered for a while, and can only be slowly familiarized with later.

After talking for nearly an hour, Li Le stopped, he didn't want to stuff too many things into a few people at once. Knowledge is not greedy, but it has to be chewed, and only when it becomes one's own thing can one be skillfully used.

Jade always seems to have a mysterious attraction for people, no matter how messy and chaotic, people will unconsciously fall into it.

Now Ran Hongling and Hu Shu are like this, once they enter the door, they have this infinite desire for knowledge, and they always keep asking Li Le this and that.

In the end, there was no way, Li Le could only answer them one by one, as for how much they could consume, it was up to them. The quietest of them all is the little girl Namoyi, who listens carefully and doesn't say much when she finishes, looking very ladylike.

After taking a sip of tea and resting for a while, Li Le called Na Moyi to him, and then said, "Na Moyi, do you really like these jade aspects?" ”

"I like it, they're beautiful. My grandfather told me since I was a child that jade is a spiritual thing, a thing conceived by heaven and earth. ”

"Then I'm going to make jade, do you want you to help me?"

"Okay, I can help you when I'm free."

Hearing this, Li Le couldn't help but smile, it seemed that he had made the little girl not understand.

"I mean, you don't have to open this small shop with your grandmother anymore, help me wholeheartedly, of course, I will also pay you a salary, definitely not less than what you earn from opening a store, do you think it's okay?"

He sincerely wanted to help this little girl, and wanted to teach her a craft, so that she could have a foothold in the future.

In the past two days of contact with the little girl, Li Le also learned that since the death of the little girl's grandfather, she has not gone to school again, and it will definitely be difficult to keep up with the course if she goes now. It's better to train her from now on, so that she can have a ability and have a foothold in society in the future.

After thinking for a while, the little girl said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Li, can I reply to you later?" I would like to discuss it with my grandmother. ”

"Don't worry, you can give me an answer tomorrow. I'll go to the market in the afternoon, and I can take you there if you want. ”

"Okay, I'll go talk to my grandma. You can eat here at noon later, and take a rest first, and I'll be ready soon." ”

"No, let's just go out to eat."

"It's okay, it's quite expensive to go out to eat when you are old, and it's better to eat at home." After the little girl finished speaking, she turned to leave, ignoring Li Le's shouting behind her.

Looking at her disappearing back, Li Le couldn't help but shake his head. This girl is really really, he thinks that a few people will live here forever in the future, and they really can't eat out for a long time.

Then he thought about giving the little girl some money every month and asking her to cook for his own people. First, my gang can eat really, and secondly, I can let the little girl improve her life.

During lunch, Li Le and the little girl came up with such an idea. The little girl didn't have any opinions, but she didn't accept Li Le's food expenses of 3,000 a month plus compensation.

It was useless for Ran Hongling to get out of the horse this time, which made Li Le quite helpless. The little girl is only willing to accept the money for groceries, and the other expenses are never relieved.

Seeing this, Li Le had no choice but to say that he was eating out, which made the little girl so anxious that she was about to cry, and in the end she had to accept it.

For the little girl to follow Li Le, the grandmother is also very supportive, just let the little girl follow to learn art, not salary. As for the store, the old man still wants to continue to open, not trying to make any money, just looking for something to do.

This Li Le didn't have much objection, just like the elders of the family, sometimes the conditions of the children are good, they are still unwilling to stop, and they have been moving for a lifetime, letting them be idle, but it makes them panic in their hearts.

Regarding the matter of the little girl's salary, Li Le didn't mention it again, he was afraid that it would be another entanglement, so he just waited for the time to give the money.

In the afternoon, there was a little girl in the group.

At this time, the jade trading market is much more lively than in the morning. Obviously, it has gradually entered the peak of trading.

As soon as there are more stalls, there will naturally be more jade materials, and there will be more for Li Le to choose.

In Li Le's heart, this kind of jade is simply picking up money, but because there are only so many funds, and there are other uses, he will not buy anything when he sees it, and he will choose the more suitable jade.

From the point of view of the quality of the material, although there is no shortage of fakes and deceptions, compared to the scarcity of later generations, there are still more options available.

The top-quality materials are not so easy to see, but some cherished materials, such as sprinkled gold, jujube red, osmanthus, autumn pear, tiger skin and other precious skin color materials, as long as the quality is better, Li Le will not hesitate to buy it.

And like Russian materials, Qinghai materials, mountain materials, and good quality, he accepts the same. Later, Xu Changqing went to get more than 2 million yuan before he paid off the payment for these materials, and the money was almost exhausted.

In just one day, 2.5 million yuan has been spent, which makes everyone feel like spending money like water. It's as if it's not a banknote at all, but a piece of paper.

Seeing that Li Le was so simple, many bosses asked him to look at his stall in order to make a deal. Li Le did not shirk it, and still accepted it if he could take a fancy to it, and did not trade until the end when more than 500,000 yuan was spent.

For the stall owners who make Li Le feel more eye-catching, Li Le will usually ask for a business card or phone number or something, telling them that if they have good materials, they can contact them and come to the door to trade directly.

In this way, the supply is much more abundant, and you don't have to wait until every Friday and Sunday to be able to trade.

Walking out of the trading market, the leather bag in Li Le's hand was already full of bags. This is still because he has a lot of strength, and Hu Shu may not be able to lift it.

Back at home, Lai Le spread out all the ingredients and began to sort them out.

Among them, his favorite is playing with materials and making materials.

The so-called playing materials and making materials are the jargon names of the people who buy and sell the seeds of Hetian jade.

For better seeds, they are roughly divided into three types, proton, play and cooking.

Proton is the rough stone, which describes the rough stone with excellent color and moistness, which is also what everyone who loves jade wants.

The world of jade is extremely complex and huge, and there are thousands of kinds of so-called jade, all of which have their meanings. This is to describe the variety of jade that may not be seen by a poor person in a lifetime, and each jade has its own special features.

Especially for expensive jade like Hetian jade, people who are new to the industry will always have a feeling of not knowing where to start. And the proton is a ruler, a benchmark that can be compared.

With proton, in comparison, you can see the advantages and disadvantages of the jade you want to buy, and you will not be at a loss.

Therefore, protons should not be too large, and the appearance should be perfect, and the important thing is that the whiteness and moistness should stand out, and there should be an oily feeling. In this way, when contrasting, whiteness and fineness can be distinguished.

The play material refers to the Hetian jade rough stone is full of form, with very few cracks, white and fine jade flesh, changeable color, and bright and good-looking skin color. Such materials often have a natural beauty, which is the work of heaven and earth, and can be played without artificial modification.

However, this kind of material is generally more expensive, especially in the case of scarcity in later generations, and there is no channel for buying and selling in the market. The price is extremely expensive, which makes people who love jade intimidating.

The material of Hetian jade is the same rough stone, but it is a flawed rough stone.

Or cracks, or dirty spots, need to go through the hands of jade carving people, using exquisite ideas and skilled carving skills to transform them into exquisite jade carving works.

Because it is imperfect and flawed, it needs to be carved, but it is full of creativity and plasticity, and it is favored by jade people and jade friends.

For Li Le, the naturalness of the materials and the moldability of the materials are what he loves deeply.

He will choose to use soft tools to store the seeds, and he is more casual in the mountains, Qinghai, Russia, etc.

When doing these things, Ran Hongling, Hu Shu, Xu Changqing and Na Moyi were all on the side, and Li Le explained and supplemented some things that were not covered in the morning for them one by one. Let them digest it as soon as possible.

After almost doing it, Li Le asked them to look at the material more, touch it more, and feel it skillfully.

He has already said enough basic discriminating knowledge, and the rest depends on them to see more and get familiar with it as soon as possible. When you can see it at a glance and know what kind of material it is when you touch it, then it is okay.

After almost that, Li Le began to put away the materials, only to see him put them into a plastic bag with a draw, and then put them in a leather case. These things are more precious, and he doesn't want to bump into any defects.

Then he packed the mountain materials, Russian materials, and Qinghai materials into different categories, and finally put them into a safe more than one meter high. This is also what he just bought in the afternoon, these things are relatively precious items, and it is definitely not okay to place them at will.

There were also more than two million dollars in cash that he had placed.

In the next few days, he ran the Sunday market again, but compared to Friday. The amount of goods received on this day was much less, and only nearly one million materials were collected.

For the remaining week, he was basically doing his best to cultivate Ran Hongling, Na Moyi and Hu Shu. After daily explanations and constant contact, the identification and understanding of jade by the three of them are also rapidly improving.

Occasionally, someone called Li Le to his home to see the material, and Li Le always brought a few people with him, but gradually the three of them would first identify and evaluate the rough stone, and then he was making the final decision.

These things have to be put on the agenda step by step, it's useless to just watch and not learn, and if you don't do optics, it's just talk on paper. Li Le wanted a few assistants who could stand alone, because as he progressed, his end point might be on the carving.

To open a store, he will definitely need to carve a batch of jade in preparation in the early stage, and it will also be the main product in the store. In addition, he had to recruit some carvers locally, but it took time.

So in the early stage, he will be the only carver in the shop, and the focus will naturally be on carving.

He believed that after Ran Hongling and Hu Shu were proficient in the appraisal and valuation of jade, with their original work experience, there would be absolutely no problem in handing over the diplomatic business of the shop to the two of them.

And Na Moyi is basically blank in this regard, but her young age and her relatively clever people make it possible for Ran Hongling to gradually get on the road after some training.
