Soon, many people saw the wonders of this Shoushan stone carving.

"Huh! An object that has not been carved is a strange stone. Zhou Furong said in surprise. At this time, his interest became even stronger. Chu Jiaqiang knew that this guy seemed to have a lot of love for strange stones. The piece with landscape paintings picked up from Chujiazhai was not sold, and he was ready to play with it himself.

The others also nodded, the stone quality of Shoushan stone is not very top-notch, the appearance is not very exquisite, and there is no history to speak of. But the biggest attraction is that this stone monkey is naturally formed, and if you look closely, you can see that you are still holding a bitten peach in your arms, which is very rare.

"Elder Hong, where did you get this treasure? Wonderful! An old man turned his head and asked.

"Hey, hey! The last trip time went to Fu. State, when I passed by the Shoushan Stone Quarry, I found this thing in a stream on the side, and it felt good, so I took the sheep by the hand. Hong Lao was a little proud. Everyone else is picking up leaks, but this time it's directly picking up treasures.

"Shoushan stone is a blessing. State? Chu Jiaqiang asked softly. He used to hear that it was from Shandong, so it was a little strange to hear it.

Zhou Furong was depressed, so he had to sweep the literacy of this buddy again: "Crystal is the only one in China where Shoushan stone is only produced in Fu. Jianfu. Shoushan Village, a suburb in the northern suburbs of the state, is now a non-renewable resource made of pyrophyllite. ”

In addition, Chu Jiaqiang didn't know that Shoushan Stone was the national stone of our country. Due to the difficulty and rarity of Shoushan stone. Therefore, it is particularly precious, especially Tianhuangshi is difficult for ordinary people to obtain. Blessed since ancient times. There is a saying among the people of the state that "one or two fields of yellow and one or two gold". The stone is comparable to gold.

Mao Qiling's "Houguan Stone Record" of the Qing Dynasty recorded: During the Qianlong period, a lot of beautiful Shoushan stones were quarryed in the Fujian Quarry Mountain, and they were transported to the capital and sold for thousands of gold immediately. To the founding of the People's Republic of China due to the development of foreign trade. Stone prices are rising day by day, in the seventies in Hong Kong weighed less than three taels, the general material of Tianhuang stone are priced at more than 1,000 yuan, if carved into handicrafts the value is higher.

Old Man Zhou did not look down on Chu Jiaqiang because of this, but admired the young man's character of asking questions when he was questioning, and it didn't matter if he didn't understand. Don't pretend to understand, especially in their business, the most taboo is to know half-understood, and seem to understand but not understand.

"Shoushan stone has been extremely precious since ancient times. In particular, the color it represents is supreme, and the ancient emperors and nobles liked it very much. Because of this, many myths and stories were born. "Old man Zhou picked a story to tell. In their industry, the most popular thing is to tell stories, of course, these stories are good to listen to, don't take them seriously, it's easy to be fooled.

Legend has it that in the past, Shoushan on the north peak was not called "Shoushan". There is a woodcutter named "Chen Changshou" who lives at the foot of the mountain, who likes to play chess very much, and his chess skills are very high. Someday. Chen Changshou went up the mountain and saw two old men playing chess on a big rock, and his heart was itchy, so he stood next to him and watched it fascinated.

The two old men found it interesting and said, "Sir, do you know how to play chess?" Chen Changshou nodded and said with a smile: "I know a little." The two old men were happy: "Okay, let's play a few games of chess with the gentleman." Unexpectedly, after playing a few games of chess, Chen Changshou won. The old man said, "I can't imagine that there is such a high level of chess skills in the world. Today we all lost to you. There's nothing to give, just give it to you with this game of chess pieces! In the future, you don't have to chop wood, you can live a good life. With that, he turned into a gust of wind and left.

Chen Changshou knew that the two old men must be immortals, so he hurriedly cleaned up the remaining chess pieces, knelt on the big rock and bowed to the sky to thank the immortals for their kindness in sending chess.

Chen Changshou got a game of chess pieces, but he still didn't forget to chop firewood before going home. While chopping wood, he was still thinking about playing chess. Unexpectedly, the pieces in the bag fell to the ground. Just as I was about to pick it up, the chess pieces suddenly turned into colorful stones. The little stone grows into a big stone, and the big stone gives birth to a small stone. He picked it up and picked it up, and he couldn't finish it for a while.

This man is not greedy. He picked up some small stones, then picked up a load of firewood and went home, and told his wife about the fairy giving chess. The wife said, "You are so stupid, these stones may be treasures that can be sold for a lot of money." You won't have to chop wood tomorrow. We went to the mountains together to pick up stones. Since then, Chen Changshou and his wife have gone up to the mountain every day to pick up stones. Every day it will be dark, and the stones will almost be gone, but the next day there will be many stones.

Chen Changshou picked up the stones and picked them up in Fuzhou, and sure enough, they sold them for a lot of money. Since then, Chen Changshou has made a fortune and is famous. Later, the mountain was called "Shoushan" by his name. Those small stones are also called "Shoushan stones".

"It is said that now an ordinary Shoushan stone is also tens of thousands, and the high-quality ones are even more unattainable, and we will also go to Shoushan if we have time, if we are lucky enough to pick up one or two pieces, then it will be developed." Ye Jisheng said with a smile. In fact, this is a joke, he is not short of money in the first place.

Zhou Furong shook his head and corrected: "What you said is Tianhuang stone, which is also a kind of Shoushan stone, and it is the most representative stone. Shoushan stone is also very cheap, depending on the variety. Don't dream, it's so easy to get rich, you don't need to say it, the more than one billion people in China have already leveled Shoushan. ”

Old Man Zhou didn't comment much, and he also knew that Chu Jiaqiang and Ye Jisheng were really not interested in antiques.

"What a creation of nature! It's so vivid, it's really rare. "Chu Jiaqiang and Ye Jisheng have eyes and don't know treasures, which doesn't mean that others don't appreciate it. This kind of natural formation is the most precious, which is why Zhou Furong was stunned to collect the piece of the immortal to drive the rocky beach.

Legend has it that Cixi liked jadeite very much, but among all the fine products, her favorite was jade watermelon and jade cabbage. I heard that these two jadeite varieties are not top-notch, but they have become rare treasures because they are naturally formed and not too artificially carved.

Everyone looked at it for a while before reluctantly looking away. Chu Jiaqiang could see from the attitude of these people that many of them were real antique lovers and were really intoxicated with them. It's like a group of drunkards who will drink heavily when they see alcohol, and this kind of person is very admirable.

"Alright, let's move on." Hong Lao asked people to put away the objects.

Everyone also knows that Hong Lao's object will definitely not be sold. First of all, people are not short of money; Second, this Shoushan stone ornament was personally brought out from the mountain, which is of far-reaching significance and commemorative value; In the end, it can be seen that Hong Lao also likes this object very much, and it is impossible to transfer it.

The so-called exchange meeting is actually where everyone takes their own things and discusses with each other, and even changes hands. To say something nice, it is to communicate with each other, and to say something unpleasant, it is to show off!
