Chapter 0666 - Gambling with Weng Lao
It is also thanks to the rules of the Weng family, and there is an old man Weng present on the side of the sheep fat jade, so there are many people who want to come forward to take a look, and they retracted their heads after glancing at it from a distance.
Otherwise, the few clothes on Liu Yuhao's body would have been stripped clean by those envious eyes, this kind of good thing can be encountered, and it will not let people live?
That's 200 kilograms of mutton fat jade!
But everyone who has seen it has all flowed out of Halazi to stare at him with wide eyes and stand there dumbfounded, and his heart said, Spicy next door, when can we have such good luck.
"Boy, I heard that you just took a piece of seed jade in the front hall?"
After the old man Weng saw the mutton fat jade, the essence in his eyes skyrocketed, and he stared at Liu Yuhao deadly, as if he wanted to see through Liu Yuhao's mind with his own eyes.
Liu Yuhao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously touched the seed jade in his pocket with his right hand, and said in his heart: "No, old man, your thinking is jumping too fast, why did you run to this seed jade?" ”
But when Liu Yuhao's gaze came into contact with Old Man Weng, Liu Yuhao had already regained that calm demeanor, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Mr. Weng, I bid for a piece of seed jade at a price of three million." ”
Old Man Weng showed an inscrutable complex look on his face, and stared at Liu Yuhao for a minute before he said, "Is that half-sugar and half-skin seed?" ”
Liu Yuhao nodded and said concisely: "Yes! ”
Weng Xueyan stood less than three meters away from Liu Yuhao, her small mouth was slightly open, and she could almost see her pink tongue, but this was not Miss Weng selling cuteness, but she was scared by classmate Liu.
Until now, Weng Xueyan doesn't know what makes Liu Yuhao have that kind of calm and indifferent bearing, in the eyes of outsiders, Old Man Weng is the kind of unattainable existence.
But Liu Yuhao is good, he doesn't take the old man seriously at all, he can say whatever he wants, even if he doesn't even pretend to be a little afraid.
Is it extreme self-confidence? Is it the kind of Wang Ba's spirit that controls the overall situation?
Weng Xueyan sighed slightly, looked at Liu Yuhao with a resentful expression, and felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
But Weng Xueyan didn't know that now Liu's back was already soaked.
The old man of the Weng family was so powerful that he immediately grasped the key point, and he put two hundred kilograms of mutton fat jade as if he hadn't seen it, but he was entangled with Liu Yuhao on an inconspicuous seed jade.
How can this make Liu feel at ease?
"Yu Hao, what kind of seed jade costs three million? Don't be the one who lied to you, right? ”
Old Man Zheng also noticed Weng Shixian's words, and looked at Liu Yuhao with a puzzled expression, but at this moment, the old man's face was still far more appreciative than questioning.
"Old man, you can see it yourself, in fact, I don't know much about nephrite."
Liu Yuhao smiled faintly, knowing that the seed jade he had just photographed couldn't be hidden, so he simply took it out generously.
Jade skin comes in a variety of colors, and the jade world is also named after various colors, such as black skin, deerskin, and so on.
From the color of the skin, it can be seen that the quality of the jade, such as black skin, deer skin, etc., is mostly a good material for high-quality white jade. Seed jade of the same quality, such as autumn pear and other skin color, is more valuable.
In general, the thickness of the jade skin is very thin, generally less than one millimeter. The shape of the color skin is varied, some are cloud-like, some are vein-like, and some are scattered.
The formation of color skin is caused by the transformation of ferrous oxide into iron trioxide in Hetian jade under oxidizing conditions, so it is secondary.
Experienced jade pickers go to the middle and lower reaches to find seed jade with colored skin; Going upstream, there are very few opportunities to find colored jade, and in addition, there are also occasional mountain materials with skin near the cracks in the primary jade ore body, which is also due to secondary oxidation.
Old Man Weng was the first to see the seed jade, first raised his eyebrows slightly, and then gently slammed his wisteria wood crutch on the ground, and snorted coldly.
Old Man Zheng took the seed jade handed over by Liu Yuhao and held it in his hand, first checked it, and then squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully.
"Yu Hao, how did you give the price of three million?" After all, the light was weak at night, and the old man was already old, and his eyes were not very good, so it didn't take a few minutes for the old man Zheng to put down the seed jade in his hand.
Liu Yuhao smiled and said, "Old man, in your opinion, is this piece of seed jade worth three million?" ”
Old Man Zheng frowned slightly, pondered slightly, and said: "This seed material is very delicate, and the skin color is greasy, it is a rare high-grade seed material, the large piece of skin makes it worth a lot, but three million is a bit high, I think it should be around one and a half million." ”
"High! It's really high, old man, and only you can tell the price of this seed jade with such a discerning eye. ”
Liu Yuhao also couldn't hold back before he exhaled in surprise.
When he photographed this piece of seed jade, it was impossible for the old man Zheng to know the price at that time, but the old man only looked at it for a while, and he hadn't used assistive devices such as a strong flashlight, so he could say the price of the seed jade so accurately, and now Liu Yuhao couldn't admire it.
Old Man Zheng scolded with a smile: "You kid don't make a fool of yourself, and say, what's going on, why did you give a high price of three million?" ”
"Old man, the auction price was indeed 1.6 million at that time, but I liked this piece of material, so I directly gave 3 million."
Liu Yuhao was also honest, and told the scene when he was frightened 1510, and Dong Lao is also here now, so he can't tolerate another half-talk.
Old Man Zheng bowed his head slightly, and said: "Yu Hao, have you ever thought that this piece of material is actually a mountain material, and the price of three million is really outrageous?" ”
Liu Yuhao shook his head and said: "Old man, look at this skin, it is ripe, and it feels comfortable before it is polished, in fact, this is the penetration that has been slowly formed for a long time, like this kind of skin plus so oily, you know that this is a good material, this material is produced in the lower reaches of the Hotan River, how can it be mountain material?" ”
Old Man Zheng pointed his finger at Liu Yuhao and scolded with a smile: "Monkey cub, you thief, how can you take advantage of Old Man Weng's advantage?" He's fooling you, how can the seed have sugar-colored skin? ”
Liu Yuhao was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know this question, he thought that as long as it was Hetian Yu, there would be sugar Qin, but he didn't expect there to be such a statement.
Weng Shixian pouted and said: "Ignorance, you can only bet on jade, and want to figure out what Hetian jade is, your old boy is not as good as the little guy in my shop." ”
"What do you say surnamed Weng? Want to quarrel, don't you? ”
Old Man Zheng was so angry that when a Buddha had an accident, the Buddha ascended to heaven, and glared at Weng Shixian viciously.
You must know that in Hotan, if you throw a magnet anywhere, or stir it in the sand, it will suck up a lot of iron embroidery dregs, and the copper ore that comes out there is open-air, and sometimes even a whole mountain is full of mines, and all kinds of metals are everywhere.
Therefore, when the seed material lies in the sand, there are many opportunities to be penetrated by metal oxides, especially the pulp, sometimes all of which are infiltrated, and sometimes they are washed away by water after penetration...... faded, and another color appeared when it came into contact with another metal.
Then, it is normal for the seed jade to produce sugar skin under the long-term river washing, but in the past, when the water source was abundant, people did not see the seed jade have sugar water.
It was not until the water resources were gradually depleted in the past few decades that a large amount of metal oxides were deposited and attached to the seed jade skin of Hetian jade, which formed a sugar skin seed jade that only mountain materials can have.
It has to be said that this is also a kind of sadness after the environment has changed, and the theoretical knowledge that people knew and knew before is gradually changing subtly with the changes of nature.
"Boy, you are the person I have ever seen who has a great eye for Hetian jade, do you dare to cut this piece of seed jade in front of our old men?"
The essence in Old Man Weng's eyes flashed, and the old man who was originally dying in his twilight years suddenly became full of murderous energy, making people have an illusion, as if they would not dare to approach him easily.
Liu Yuhao secretly took a breath and said with a faint smile: "Old Mr. Weng, do you also have doubts about this piece of seed jade?" ”
"I'm just asking you dare or don't dare, why do you say so many useless things?"
Old Man Weng didn't admit what he thought in his heart, but he didn't deny it either, he just stared at Liu Yuhao's eyes with a strange expression.
Liu Yuhao suddenly laughed very presumptuously, and said: "Mr. Weng, I'm afraid you guessed wrong this time, according to my estimates, this piece of seed jade is far from being as simple as white jade." ”
This smile frightened the people around him.
Damn, where did an arrogant boy who ran out dare to say to Old Man Weng that his old man was wrong?
Although most people didn't know what was going on in the words of the old and the young, everyone secretly sweated for Liu Yuhao, you know, no one dared to speak in this tone to Old Man Weng for decades.
In case Liu Yuhao angers Old Man Weng, he will not be able to eat and walk around.
"Why am I wrong?"
Old man Weng raised his eyebrows, now the old man's expression is getting more and more strange when he looks at Liu Yuhao, with his nearly 100 years of experience, he can't guess what a young man thinks, this is the first time Weng Shixian has encountered this situation.
Liu Yuhao glanced at Weng Xueyan and said, "Miss Weng, please help me prepare some tools, and I will personally cut this piece of seed jade for Mr. Weng to see." ”
Weng Xueyan bit her lip, looked at her grandfather, and then at Liu Yuhao, until Old Man Weng nodded slightly, and then turned around and left to prepare the tools for jade.
"Boy, how about we make a bet?" Old Man Weng smiled and showed a treacherous expression.
Liu Yuhao is also a little fox, so he naturally smiled equally treacherously, and said, "Old man, I bet that the inside of the seed jade has mutated." ”
"Good!" Old Man Weng smiled and said, "Then I'll bet that it's a piece of high-grade white jade." ”
