In addition to the necessary rest, Fang Ming and the others did not stop on the road, but hurried one after another, coupled with the guidance of the falcons hovering in the sky, and finally returned to Niu Ping's home without any accidents.

After returning, Zhao Zhuzi immediately put away the gun, and then went out to buy half a little lamb and bought wine, and then closed the courtyard door, and set up a pot in the courtyard to stew, and when night fell, the air in the entire courtyard was filled with the rich aroma of mutton, which made people's stomachs growl.

After taking a bath, Fang Ming's whole body was refreshed, in fact, it was definitely a great pleasure to be able to take a bath comfortably after a long journey.

sat down on the chair, and at this time, Niu Ping and Zhao Matie were already sitting on the edge of the table.

Looking at the steaming cauldron on the table, Fang Ming stretched out his hand and wanted to lift the lid.

"Smack!"

Something suddenly stretched out next to it and pressed the lid down, it was the cigarette stick in Zhao Matie's hand.

"The fire hasn't arrived yet, don't waste it."

Retracting his hand, Fang Ming shook his head and said, "Okay, wait a minute, hey, two old men, you can take out the stone in my bag and take a look." ”

When I was traveling in the desert before, I didn't take out the stone since it was put in a bag for safety. Although it is a bit too careful to say that he has read > novel xstxt, he also understands that this is the practice of the old rivers and lakes, and being careful can always sail a boat for ten thousand years!

Therefore, although Fang Ming wanted to see it very much, he still suppressed his curiosity, and now that they were all back at home, they were naturally safe.

"Well, go get the bag out and close the yard door."

As soon as Fang Ming heard this, he immediately stood up and locked the wooden door of the courtyard, and then walked into the house and took out the bag containing the stone, and at this time, Zhao Zhuzi, who was taking a bath at the end, also came out, and he pulled out a socket from the house, and Niu Ping found a high-tile lamp, and after turning it on, the desktop was snow-white, and at the same time there was a bright flashlight prepared.

"Hey! Let's see what kind of baby this is! ”

Fang Ming smiled, opened the bag, and carefully picked up the stones inside and placed them on the table.

As soon as the stone was taken out, everyone's eyes were focused on it, and no one spoke for a long time, as if the whole world was silent except for the steaming pot next to it.

"Hetian jade, it's really Hetian jade. Grandma's, Fang Ming, your kid's luck is too good. ”

Niu Ping slowly stretched out his hand and touched the stone a few times, with an excited look on his face.

Hetian jade, also called Kunlun jade in ancient times, because it is produced in the Western Regions Shache country, Khotan country, which is now Xinjiang Hetian, so it is called Hetian jade, which belongs to a kind of nephrite jade.

The description of Hetian jade in the "Historical Records of Dawan Liebiography" is: "The Han Dynasty made the source of the poor river, and the source of the river came from Khotan, and its mountains were full of jade", while in the "Biography of the Western Regions of the Han Book", it said: "The country of Shache has an iron mountain, and the green jade comes out."

"Niu Lao, I heard that since ancient times, the place with the most jade in Hetian before leaving is the Yulong Kashgar River, I don't know if it?"

Fang Ming remembered the information he had read before, and there were some records of Hetian Yu on it.

The Yulong Kashgar River, called the Baiyu River in ancient times, originated from the Kunlun Mountains, and after flowing into the Tarim Basin, it joins the Karakash River and the Chenghetian River, with a total length of 325 kilometers, of course, there are tributaries like other rivers, and if you talk about the area of the basin, it is as high as 1. 450,000 square kilometers. In addition to its length and nurturing the people on both sides of the river, the gas of this river is related to the abundance of white jade, green jade and black jade, and it has been the main river of Hetian jade in history.

Among the two rivers of Yulong Kashgar River and Karakash River, Yulong Kashgar River produces the most jade, and the jade produced is also the top grade and best in Hetian jade. The jade produced in the Karakash River is mainly green jade, green and white jade, blue and white jade, and black jade, with a small amount of jasper, and very little white jade, and the texture and price of jade are far inferior to the white jade produced by the Yulong Kashgar River.

Zhao Matie, who was on the side, nodded and said, "Yes." The main production area of Hetian jade in history is about 1,300 kilometers long on the northern slope of the entire Kunlun Mountain, and the jade in the river is on the Kunlun Mountain and the river in the narrow strip centered on Hetian, but we must note that for people now, the so-called Hetian jade is not only from the jade of this place, whether it is from Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning, Guizhou, South Korea, Russia or Canada, if it is with the characteristics of Hetian jade, it is called Hetian jade, so it is said, Now Hetian jade is no longer a regional term. ”

In a geological sense, the so-called Hetian jade is actually the so-called tremolite. This type of stone is characterized by an elongated columnar or fibrous crystalline state, and all stones with such characteristics are called Hetian jade.

"This is the rarest material!"

Niu Ping's eyes narrowed. Hetian jade is usually speaking, there are five main Hetian jades

The source, which is geographically speaking, are Xinjiang material, Qinghai material, Russian material, Liaoning Xiuyanhe abrasive material and South Korean Chunchuan material. However, if it is from the perspective of production, it can be divided into mountain materials, sub-materials and mountain flowing water, which is the most common and important classification method for people who play jade.

The so-called mountain material refers to the Hetian jade on the mountain, which belongs to the primary mine, and is characterized by different sizes and angularities. The sub-material is also called the seed material is pointed out in the raw riverbed, because it grows in the water flow, the flow is more smooth under the flow of water, as for the mountain water, it refers to the original mountain material falling off in the natural weathering, and falling to the halfway up the mountainside, the foot of the mountain and even the riverbed after being washed by the mountain torrent, so Hetian jade is relatively close to the original mine, not as smooth as the sub-material, but there are no obvious edges and corners like the mountain material, and the surface is also relatively smooth.

Among the three materials, the best quality is the sub-material, and it is also the most likely to be the best in Hetian jade.

"This thing is worth at least 30 million or more."

Zhao Matie picked up the jade on the table, weighed it in his hand, and said, "This piece of more than three catties can't run away!" ”

"Hey! It is so refreshing to be able to step on 30 million without intentionally. ”

With Pixiu's help, Fang Ming already knew that the value of this piece of Hetian jade in front of him was between 10 million and 15 million.

In fact, there are several criteria for judging the value of Hetian jade.

The first is of course the size, the larger the value of Hetian jade, the second, it is to see whether the whiteness of Hetian jade is good, and then it is necessary to see the degree of fineness, uniformity, and whether there are oily, warm and flawed, etc., if it is green or red skin, etc., it can also increase the value, because these colors can be used in processing. Of course, the color of green skin or red skin should be pure, for example, when green skin, it must be green enough and green evenly, and the same is true for red skin.

Otherwise, it may damage the value of the whole Hetian jade.

If the Hetian jade on the market is large enough, delicate as oil, white as snow, without flaws, and reaches the top level, the value is 15,000 to 20,000 yuan a gram, and the piece in front of you is at least 3 catties or more, that is, more than 1,500 grams, and the value is about 30 million or more.

Niu Ping took the jade from Zhao Matie's hand, turned on the strong flashlight and shone it in, and then looked at it at a different angle for more than ten minutes, nodded and said: "The texture of this Hetian jade is quite good, although it is large, the whole light transmittance is very strong, it can be seen that there is no stone in it, and the whiteness is also very good."

, to the extent of mutton fat jade, is indeed a valuable commodity. ”

Mutton fat jade is the best quality white jade in Hetian jade, in addition to the color white as snow, its oiliness is excellent, just like mutton fat is mutton fat in general, the texture is delicate, bright and warm, and there are very few flaws, the so-called white bi flawless is the best mutton fat jade.

Zhao Zhuzi stretched out his hand to dip a little water from a basin next to him, dripping on the jade, the water droplets could not be kept at all, and immediately rolled down, seeing such a situation, he immediately screamed, and said: "I heard that even if the mutton fat jade is soaked in water, it will not be wet when it is picked up, I thought it was fake, but now it seems to be true." ”

"This is because the oiliness of mutton fat jade is excellent, so the water cannot be retained."

Fang Ming had seen a lot of descriptions of mutton fat jade before, but this was also the first time he had seen the "genuine product", and it was impossible not to be surprised.

"This jade, we cut it, how about one person share a piece?"

As soon as Fang Ming finished saying this, he immediately felt Niu Ping and Zhao Matie glaring at him fiercely, as if he wanted to kill himself.

I touched my nose and said incomprehensibly, "What's wrong?" This jade was discovered by us together, so what's wrong with separating it? ”

"You found out, and it has nothing to do with us."

Niu Ping nodded and said, "Lao Zhao is not wrong to say it, first, this jade was discovered by you, not by us, it was you who stepped on it." Second, you kid is too loser, do you know that this kind of superb mutton fat jade, even if you hit an eye on it, you can't be reluctant, generally speaking, it is handled in a gold-filled way, how can it be cut into a point as you said, just like this pork has a lifetime! I'm. ”

"Huh...... Is it so serious? ”

Fang Ming didn't expect this, in his opinion, if it wasn't for Niu Ping, Zhao Matie and the others to go with him, he wouldn't be able to step on this piece of jade, so it was normal to cut it apart.

"Of course it's that serious!"

Niu Ping glared at Fang Ming fiercely again, and said, "It's useless for us to keep this jade. Aren't you an antique shop? Take it back and put it in the store, it is really majestic, if you find a good hand in carving, you will carve it into a jade Buddha or something, and there will be another rare treasure in this world. ”

"Okay."

Fang Ming understood that in fact, for people like Niu Ping and Zhao Matie, money was no longer the most important thing, compared to this, they wanted to see the world even more

There is one more treasure in the world, so he is no longer polite.

"The meat is ready to eat."

Zhao Ma lifted the lid, and a smell of meat that was so strong that it made people want to go crazy rushed out, Fang Ming and the others ate it, and the Hetian jade worth tens of millions was put aside, and no one looked at it at all, as if it was an ordinary stone.
