Chapter 0695 The Jade Mine Is Cracked
Due to the different historical periods, geographical environment, economic conditions, cultural and technological levels, ethnic customs and aesthetic views, jade carvings in various periods show splendid and beautiful artistic styles.
Liu Yuhao carved this safe and sound card on both sides of the smooth, with the outline of the ring and the lock for the card, with the arch of the Ruyi pattern for the lock, the decoration is simple and smooth.
Considering that Wahali and his grandmother are Uyghurs, Liu Yuhao also deliberately set up thin wire frames on both sides of the forehead of the Ping'an card, carved them on both sides, highlighting the warm texture of Hetian jade, and engraved the names of Wahali's family after asking.
"Thank you, Expert Liu, I will thank you for the rest of my grandmother's life."
Wahari's eyes were full of tears, and he held the safe and sound card in both hands and bowed to Liu Yuhao vigorously.
Liu Yuhao smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Uh, Wahari, have you ever thought about going down the mountain and going to the Weng family's company to do a small job, so that you can continue to go to school?" ”
"Going to school? Will I really be able to go to school? A look of anticipation flashed in Wahari's eyes.
Liu Yuhao hesitated for a moment, covered his mouth and coughed, and said, "Yes, I will help you tell Miss Weng, as long as you work hard to make money, you will definitely be able to return to school again in the future." ”
It's so shameless!
Liu Yuhao's old face flushed, and he despised himself in his heart.
In fact, at the beginning, he was going to say that he would let Wahali go down the mountain, and then pay for all his living expenses and tuition fees in the future, but after he said it, he temporarily changed it to go to Weng's house to work.
The Weng family has a woman who is as fierce as Weng Xueyan, can she make decisions for others?
It's not that Liu Yuhao is distressed about a few dollars and doesn't want to help Wahari, but because there are too many children in this world who have similar experiences with Wahari.
Liu Yuhao has never thought about what he wants to be a savior, even if he can help Wahari today, what if he meets such a child in the future? Do you want to do the same?
Obviously, that's impossible, since he can't do it, Liu Yuhao doesn't need to disguise himself, after all, he has already done what he can, and bringing happiness to Grandma Wahari is also a way to help Wahari.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and Wahari will understand this one day.
"Mr. Liu, I didn't expect you to be able to cut jade in ancient times, I thought you were just an archaeological expert."
Alekjiang glanced at the jade plaque in Vahari's hand with some envy and smiled, he didn't realize that he would actually call a Han man Mr., which was hard to imagine before.
Liu Yuhao smiled and waved his hand, and said: "What, I'm like that, I can look at anything, in fact, it's only that, if there is really a jade carving master who is more serious with me, I will be exposed immediately." ”
This is actually Liu Yuhao deliberately changing the topic, he doesn't want to have anything to do with other people on Zhuoyu.
After all, his knife skills are not very proficient now, in case he arouses the envy and jealousy of those carvers, and it will be troublesome to find a door to test the carvers.
As the saying goes, the layman looks at the lively insider's doorway!
As long as the real jade carving masters see Liu Yuhao's technique and the place where he chooses to cut the knife, they can recognize Liu Yuhao as a layman in jade at a glance.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the mine guard who had gone to inform Weng Xueyan earlier also rushed over with Weng Hai and his sisters.
Liu Yuhao knew that in this case, people would discuss some more sensitive topics, so he wisely chose to avoid it and found a place to sit down and rest comfortably.
Just opposite where Liu Yuhao was sitting, there was a cliff hundreds of meters high, on which the mountain dug by those jade miners was densely covered with large and small potholes.
Liu Yuhao squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and the jade miners who were still working hard were like tiny sesame seeds scattered among the stones. Looking at the thin black moving figures, he suddenly felt that human beings were not only small compared to nature.
Sometimes people will sigh endlessly in the face of the huge project they have created, and the creation has become a part of nature, and in the end, all that is left is loneliness, insignificance and confusion.
"Brother Liu, why are you sitting here alone? If it's boring, let's go drinking together? ”
Weng Hai walked over with a smile and shouted, Weng Xueyan didn't need his help to do things, so he has now become the most idle "idler".
Liu Yuhao glared at Weng Hai angrily and sighed: "Gold is priceless, jade is priceless!" It was only when I saw with my own eyes the huge project and the almost zero return of these jade miners that I realized how difficult and difficult it was to get a piece of jade. ”
Weng Hai took a puff of cigarette, leisurely spit out a smoke ring, and said with a wry smile: "How can it be so easy to mine jade, this mine, dozens of them have been mining day and night for more than a year, our Weng family has also invested tens of millions of funds, and the lives of several jade mining workers have remained here forever, but a piece of jade has not been mined so far." ”
Liu Yuhao glanced at Weng Hai lightly, and what made him very strange was that he could see a trace of sadness on Weng Hai's face.
In fact, Liu Yuhao didn't know that if it weren't for the fact that Weng Hai had been planted with a sinister aura, he would definitely not be as willing to be a gentleman who can only eat, drink and have fun like he is now.
Looking at Weng Hai's helpless eyes and the dark mine, Liu Yuhao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Don't worry, this time out of the white jade, if you go over there again, there should be a chance to get out of the jade mine." ”
Weng Hai snuffed out the cigarette butt on the ground, took a deep breath and said: "It's difficult, it is said that the immortals of Kunlun Mountain planted Kunlun jade in the nursery, and they can secrete a drop of jade paste after a thousand years of care, but the jade is very difficult to plant, and it is often destroyed when it is about to become paste, and hundreds of years of hard work are instantly wiped out." ”
"What, what's the problem?"
Liu Yuhao was stunned for a moment, frowning, Weng Hai's words obviously contained other meanings.
Weng Hai glanced back at Alekjiang's side and shook his head slightly, and said, "Just now they went a little deeper there, and the jade was taken out, but the clarity was not enough." ”
Liu Yuhao's heart thumped for a moment, and he glanced at Weng Hai suspiciously, the so-called clarity refers to the degree of cracking in the white jade and the impurities in the white jade.
Whether it is jadeite or Hetian jade, as long as it is a gemstone, there will be cracks, also commonly known as "diaphragm".
Some of the cracks in jade are formed by tectonic movements in the process of jade formation, and some are produced during mining. According to the shape and distribution of different cracks, there are two categories: dead cracking and active cracking.
It is good to say that although it will affect some of the jade, it is actually nothing to the entire jade mine with huge output.
But if it is a living lock, it will be a big trouble, and the appearance of a large area of living hair shows that the jade quality of the entire jade mine may be the same situation, which is caused by the change of the earth's crust in the process of becoming jade hundreds of millions of years ago.
If the situation is really as Weng Hai said, then it is very likely that this mining area is a waste mine.
Not only will the Weng family's early investment not be recovered, but those jade miners will also work in vain for a year and get nothing, which is an incomparably huge disaster for those engaged in mining.
"Weng Hai, is there any specimen in the situation you said now?"
Liu Yuhao realized that something was wrong, frowned and looked at Weng Hai with a serious face.
Weng Hai stared at Liu Yuhao for a while, then slowly unfolded his right hand, holding a piece of lustrous white jade in the palm of his right hand, "The performance of this piece is not the most obvious, and the rest are more terrifying." ”
Liu Yuhao took the jade material and observed it carefully, as Weng Hai said, there were nail locks on the surface of the jade material, which were like marks inserted from the nails, crescent shape, if you didn't look at it very deliberately, you couldn't see it at all, but this kind of nail locks did the most damage to the internal jade of Hetian jade.
Slowly releasing the ability, Liu Yuhao looked into the inside of the jade material, and after a while, Liu Yuhao sighed, shook his head and stopped talking.
A good white jade should be delicate, bright in color, white and uniform, sexless, without cracks and blemishes. And these deadly nail locks have already announced that this newly discovered jade mine is about to be destroyed.
It is said that those jade miners will no longer be able to make efforts to mine these waste jades, even if the Weng family reluctantly quarries out all the jade materials, what can they do? You can't let the Weng family guard these broken jade and go to the street to sell Hetian jade necklaces in the future, "Weng Hai, let's go over and have a look." ”
Liu Yuhao stood up with a solemn expression, didn't bother to pat the dirt on his buttocks, and hurriedly pulled up Weng Hai to leave.
Weng Hai nodded gratefully, although he knew that even if Liu Yuhao went, it would still be useless, but Brother Liu's ability to show this kind of concern was enough for him and his sister-in-law.
After all, this is the Weng family's industry, even if the jade mine is abolished in the end, it has nothing to do with Liu Yuhao, people can just show a little sympathy and comfort themselves, there is no need to rush to see the situation.
Weng Hai walked up to Weng Xueyan and asked softly, "How many more holes have you opened?" ”
Liu Yuhao did not speak after passing, frowning and observing the several pits that the workers were digging behind.
The Weng family has its own gambling mining team, and those gambling mining experts invited are first-class geology university professors and some well-known local gambling mining experts.
"It's already the fifth pit, and the jade taken out is even worse than the one just dug up."
Weng Xueyan's face was not very good-looking, and her beautiful eyes fell on the side, and Liu Yuhao's face looked at it thoughtfully.
"Grass! It's unlucky to be home! ”
Weng Hai spit out the grass in his mouth vigorously, and shook his head with a gloomy expression.
It's too good to buy out the gods who have a strong recommendation, we can't catch up with our desperate efforts, hehe, fortunately, we are relatively calm, and the results have risen in the past few days, thank you! There is also a more, which will be served immediately!
