Chapter 198: The Emperor Stone of the King of Stones
A knife cut down, Lao Wu Tou turned off the power switch on the cutter, then moved the cutter away, and then bent his head to blow on the cut, blowing the stone chips open, and looked at the cut face carefully, but this look, he was stunned!
On the facet of this fist-sized point, the edge of the entire stone is a circle of cyan stone skin, and inside it is a whole piece of imperial yellow!
For this kind of yellow, Lao Wu Ke is very familiar with it, this kind of yellow can only be seen on the best Tianhuang stone!
But it's just very strange, the stone skin of Tian Huangshi usually does not look like this kind of bluestone, and he has never seen such a thing with the good experience of Lao Wutou. But the old Wu Tou is sure that this color belongs to a kind of Tian Huang stone, and it is the best color, Tian Huang Shi in the "Tian Huang Liang Stone", "Gold Wrapped in Silver", "Orange Peel Red", "Golden Yellow", "Kai Loquat Yellow", "Chanterelle Yellow" and so on, are all the best in Tian Huang Stone, especially the gold yellow, also called "Imperial Yellow", is the best of Tian Huang Stone.
In ancient times, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tian Huangshi's fame reached its peak, the literati and scholars competed to deliberately collect Tian Huangshi, according to legend, in the early Qing Dynasty, the emperor sacrificed to the sky, and there will be a party on the case of Tian Huangshi, which means "Fu Shou Huanghuang" auspicious meaning, Fu naturally refers to the meaning of Fujian, Tian Huang Shi is produced in Fujian, Shou refers to the origin of Tian Huangshi, Shou refers to Tian Huangshi, and the emperor refers to Tian Huangshi, so Tian Huangshi is called "Emperor Stone".
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty has a piece of the best Tian Huangshi carved into the "three chain chapter", was Qianlong as the treasure, the Qing family from generation to generation, it is said that the last emperor Pu Yi in the disintegration of the dynasty and fled, do not want all the treasures, as long as the "three chain chapter" can see the preciousness of Tian Huangshi.
Old Wu Tou was stunned for a while, then came to his senses, quickly found a towel, wiped it carefully, wiped the stone chips on the incision surface, and then stared at it for a while, the more he looked, the more surprised he became, pointed to the stone with trembling points, and then said to Zhang Can: "Little ...... Little brother, you ...... You're ...... A lot of money! This stone is really a jade inside, and it is the most ...... The finest Tianhuang frozen stone ......"
Zhang Can naturally knew it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Master don't worry, it's just a piece of jade, how good it is, it's just a little more valuable, it's not too special, if it's in the desert, when you're thirsty and dying, I think what is in front of you is a bowl of water and a high-quality Tianhuangshi, what will you choose?" ”
Old Wu was stunned, and naturally disagreed with Zhang Can's words, but he couldn't find the words to refute him, in the current world, how could there be any danger to his life? Even if there were, it would be extremely far away from ordinary people!
Seeing that Zhang Can was unmoved, Lao Wu Tou felt that Zhang Can was not an ordinary person, how could ordinary people be so calm and calm after hearing the words of Da Cai?
Lao Wu was afraid that Zhang Can would not understand the preciousness of this stone, so he immediately explained: "Little brother, there are many types of Tianhuang stone, the more precious ones are orange peel yellow, chanterelle yellow, gold wrapped in silver, silver wrapped in gold, white field stone, gold yellow, etc., especially the frozen stone in the golden yellow is the most, the top grade in the Tianhuang stone, the whole stone is clear and transparent, as if it is solidified honey, moist and moist, it looks like it is frozen, so it is called 'frozen stone'." ”
Old Wu Tou said this, and then said: "Little brother, you see, Tian Huangshi's identification starts with four points, one is to look at the color, Tian Huangshi is divided into yellow, white, red, black and other colors, among which yellow is the most respectful, you see the color exposed on this section, the yellow is pure and thick, it is the best frozen yellow, the second is the feel, you touch the cut mouth, the texture is fine, delicate, warm and moist to the touch, smooth, the third is to see the transparency, you see, at this time only cut one side, the other sides have not seen the light, but from this cut into it, It seems that it has faintly seen the innermost, and finally it depends on whether the jade contains impurities, followed by impurities, and the pure one is the top grade, you see, this looks, it does not contain half of the impurities stone chips, the radish texture is obvious, the texture is fine and orderly, the texture is obvious, but it is not heavy, just in line with the texture color can not be too heavy, can not affect the principle that Tian Huangshi is pure and precious! ”
Zhang Can listened very carefully, although he had the ability to see, but his understanding and familiarity with Tian Huangshi was definitely no match for Lao Wu Tou, so he listened to Lao Wu Tou talk about Tian Huangshi's allusions with great interest.
"Look at it!" Lao Wu Tou pointed to the incision surface and continued to explain, "The texture determines the value and value of Tian Huangshi. The king of the stone', the identification of Tian Huangshi is from the shape, hue, texture, lattice shape, feel and specific gravity, etc., little brother, you this stone, in fact, you don't need to go down in detail, it is to sell at a high price with the current section, I am sure, if you get a regular auction house, this piece of Tian Huangshi is worth at least more than 20 million yuan, but it's a pity ......"
This price, to be honest, is still a bit unexpected by Zhang Can, originally he thought it was one or two million, but he didn't expect it to be worth ten times more, as soon as he arrived in the capital, he could pick up such a big leak, it was still good luck, but I heard the old Wu Tou say "it's a pity" again, but I don't understand what he meant, it can be worth 20 million, what is the pity? Is there any other drawback? Because of the shortcomings, it is not worth 20 million?
Zhang Candang asked, "Master, are there any shortcomings?" What is a pity? ”
"It's a pity...... old Wu Tou shook his head and said, "Those who know Tian Huang know that the best Tian Huang is rare, but the best Tian Huang still can't become a priceless treasure, why?" ”
Old Wu Tou sighed and said slowly: "The preciousness of Tian Huangshi is one of them, it is difficult to get the best Tian Huang, but what is more difficult is that there is a handicraft furnace huo pure green carving master, the combination of the two, in order to wave the best, if there is only excellent craftsmanship, but there is no excellent Tian Huangshi, it is useless, just like the work carved out of ordinary wood, no matter how high the craftsman's craftsmanship, then this work can not become a treasure, so ah, there is the best Tian Huang, then there is a top carving master, two phases Yizhang, This can take the value of this superb Tian Huang to the extreme! ”
Zhang Can breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Lao Wu Tou was saying that this Tianhuangshi had other shortcomings and made it not worth the price, but it turned out that he was talking about this, so it didn't matter.
For money, Zhang Can has always been relatively weak, although he has always pursued money, but in his current situation, it is light, money, as long as it is enough, as long as the family can live happily and happily, he does not want to pursue the realm of any level of rich.
After thinking about it, Zhang Can still said to Lao Wutou: "Master, I think you should ask you to cut out all this stone!" ”
Old Wu Tou was stunned, but still didn't say anything, nodded, and then cut the other side along the line drawn by Zhang Can, at this time, the old Wu Tou appeared again, Zhang Can's line on the side he had just cut, it was really amazing to the extreme, just right, no more, no less, one more point, that knife cut down to cut the Tian Huangshi inside, and one less point, that can not appear Tian Huangshi, if the knife is again, it will not be possible to cut so thin, it will definitely cut Tian Huangshi!
And if you cut the other side, there is a cut side, then there is a comparison, look at the thickness of the stone skin on the surface of the Tian Huang and the outer surface after this side is cut, and the other line is about this thickness, if you let the old Wu Tou draw the line and cut it down, it will almost be this layer!
However, at the beginning, Lao Wu Tou would not have Zhang Can's accurate level, so the more surprised Lao Wu Tou became, Zhang Can just said the key points of looking at the stone skin, it stands to reason that he also knows this, for a master like him, it is not the most important experience and technology, but from Zhang Can's mouth, he thinks it is like that, but it is really strange!
Cut a knife from the other side, Lao Wu Tou looked at it carefully, and this knife is much more careful, after all, cut out such a high-quality Tian Huangshi, which makes him a little nervous, if it was him before, his hands do not tremble and his heart does not beat, but after so many years of concealment, and an extremely peaceful life, Lao Wu Tou has never seen any valuable treasures at all, this piece of Tian Huangshi can be regarded as the most, and it is indeed an extremely rare high-grade product.
People like Lao Wu Tou, if Zhang Can gets a different kind of treasure, such as antiques, coins, porcelain or something, no matter how precious, Lao Wu Tou will not feel too much about the note, but he is a master of carving seals, and the most interesting thing in his life is Tian Huangshi, which is his preference, and he didn't expect that the stone Zhang Can took happened to be a piece of Tian Huangshi, so he was so nervous!
While cutting the stone skin, he secretly admired, this piece of Tianhuang stone is really a superb, Lao Wu Tou looked at the jade that gradually cut out the original form, he was overjoyed, to be honest, his happiness was far stronger than Zhang Can's master!
"The breath of the emperor, the breath of the emperor!"
While cutting, the old Wu Tou muttered again, after cutting off a few sides of the stone skin, the old Wu Tou picked up the Tianhuang stone, and then slowly cut off the stone chips stained on the jade with a chisel knife, because Tianhuang is nephrite, so it is much easier than solving the jadeite, like the jadeite after the unraveling, the remaining stone chips can be slowly polished by the grinding wheel of the grinding machine, because the hardness of the jadeite is extremely strong, and it will be damaged if it is not good, and the skin of Tianhuang is soft, as long as you are careful, it is easy to cut off the stone chips, so the degree will be much faster.
But no matter how fast it is, it took Lao Wu Tou nearly two hours to get out the piece of Tianhuang in his hand, because he is a dry carving, his hands are very steady, and he is talking about fine work, so it is much faster than others.
And when Lao Wu Tou was concentrating on his work, the restaurant delivery staff who delivered fat sausages had already come over, and it was Zhang Can who affected him, so he quietly gave the money, and found a cutlery lid in the store to cover the dishes, and then waited for Lao Wu Tou.
