Although Boss Huang had already quoted a high price of 1.8 million, Yu Lifei was not tempted, nor could he be tempted. He stood next to the stone dissolver and quietly watched Li Da Chang take the material, as if he was not listening to the 1.8 million shouted by Boss Huang.

"Little brother, you have to say something, is 1.8 million okay?" Boss Huang was in a hurry, he had already seen Li Yiqiao grinding along the edge, and there was already fog next to him.

There must be high green under the fog, and his eyes are particularly sharp, as if he has seen the shadow of the green, and his heart is naturally anxious. Now the price of this stone can be said to change every minute. And he can conclude that it is still an upward trend. If he could have bought the rough earlier, the subsequent rally would have been his profit.

"I'm sorry, but I still want to pick up the material." Yu Lifei said lightly.

The people next to him saw that Yu Lifei was still not moved, so they didn't bid again. The current Yu Lifei's jade material can only be regarded as a semi-clear material. One million eight million, the price is already very high. What if there is green at both ends and scrap in the middle? Now it looks like a tall green ice species, but who knows if it has stuck in? Since Yu Lifei is bent on taking out the materials, let's wait for him to take out the materials. While the price may be higher, correspondingly, the risk is also multiplied.

Boss Huang sighed again and again beside him, Yu Lifei's mentality was really good. He bought the wool for 4,000 yuan, and he had already bid 1.8 million, but he still didn't let go.

"Li Dasheng, you can grind it again." Yu Lifei smiled, it was just jade, and it was not easy to see its true face. But if you can polish and polish, you can see the beauty of the crystal clear and delicate jadeite. In front of such a jadeite, both men and women will have no immunity.

"Two and a half million!" Boss Huang suddenly shouted loudly.

Boss Li looked at Yu Lifei, if he didn't nod, he would have to polish himself. But if Yu Lifei is willing to make a deal, he can save this step. But Yu Lifei still shook his head gently, this has not yet reached his psychological price.

At this time, there were more and more people around Boss Li, and everyone wanted to see how good this piece of high green ice was to grow water. And Yu Lifei noticed. An old man who came in a hurry was also struggling to squeeze in. When he squeezed to the innermost layer, he took out a strong flashlight and hit the jade material that had been ground a little. It doesn't matter if it's a dozen, the whole piece of jadeite is lit up, and the emerald green of the jadeite is perfectly cast.

"Three million!" The old man said firmly.

"Hua Lao, you can't grab materials with us juniors." Boss Huang saw that the old man quoted a price of three million, and said with a bitter face. This Hua Lao is a well-known person in the Zhouping jade industry, and he is known to almost everyone in the Zhouping jade market. Once he comes up with the price, others will want it again. It's not good to rob him.

"Xiao Huang, didn't you notice that this piece of jade looks like a bowl?" Hua Lao said that he was a master of the southern school of carvers. An ordinary piece of jade, after his processing, can immediately be worth a thousand gold. And a good piece of jade, in the hands of some mediocre people, may be greatly reduced.

Jade carving has always been divided into northern and southern schools, but now, there are more Shanghai schools and Yang schools. The jade carving process has a long history. The shape is elegant and beautiful, with strong local characteristics, among which the carved seat, carved jade ball, combined inlay is the unique activity of "southern school" jade carving. For decades, the southern jade carving technology has made frequent breakthroughs. A variety of lost and unique creatures have reappeared in the world, opening up a new way for the development of southern jade carving. And this old Hua is one of the representatives of the southern school carvers.

Although Yu Lifei is not familiar with jade carving, he still knows the difference between the four factions. He listened to Boss Huang shout out Hua Lao's name. immediately connected with a report I had seen, which introduced Hua Lao and his people.

After the abolition of the "craftsman" management system in the early Qing Dynasty, skilled craftsmen from all over the world gathered in the area centered on Yangcheng. Folk jade carving workshops are becoming more and more prosperous. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, jade carving has become a city, and guilds have been established one after another.

There were strict rules and a system of teachers within the guild, and workers had to join the guild to engage in jade production. At that time, six halls were set up in the guild according to the nature of the production business. "Chengzhangtang" is in charge of the system of flower pieces and naked pieces, the site of the hall is in Haizhu Middle Road, Banbox Lane, the rules require four years for the teacher to enter the industry, and can be passed on from father to son; "Zhenbaotang" is mainly made of jade bracelets, but also can be made of naked products, the site of the church is in Xiaoxin Street, and the rules require three years of apprenticeship; "Juefu Hall" is mainly made of zuò jade bracelet rings, and the site of the hall is in the Wenchang North Road Dehua Fang, and it is also stipulated that the teacher can be taught for three years, and the father can pass on one son; The director of "Chongli Hall" is a big material, the site of the church is in Tai Xin Street, and it takes three years to enter the industry; "Kun Yu Tang" is in charge of the trade of jade raw materials, and the site of the church is in the Jinshan Hall in front of Sanfu on Haizhu South Road; "Yuxingtang" is in charge of the sale of jade markets and jade stalls, and the site of the hall is in Xianle Lane, Tiancheng Road.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, the "southern school" jade carving represented by the Southern Jade Carving Craft Factory ushered in a new life, and the technology has made frequent breakthroughs. The number of layers of jade ball hollowing has grown from eight layers in six or six years to as many as sixteen layers; The materials used are more delicate and high-grade from the initial three or four degrees of Xiuyu to the later seven or eight degrees of white jade and jadeite jade. Floats, boats, pagodas and other large-scale combination inlay seats, the carving, de-chain and inlay skills are fully applied, opening up a new road for the development of jade carving in Guangzhou.

On the basis of inheriting the traditional skills of "Qiqiao colored jade" in the Song Dynasty, the southern jade carving artists created the "Qiaose" technique, focusing on the use of the natural texture and color of the stone in the design, measuring the material, avoiding cracks, skillfully using color, and maintaining the natural color of the original jade.

In particular, the jade ball has a unique concept, the big ball covers the small ball, the thickness is uniform, the layers rotate freely, and the fine lining flowers such as landscapes, flowers, people, fish and insects, flowers and birds are carved, and the image is extremely vivid and vivid. The eighteen-layer hanging double lion cue ball made by the southern craftsman has won the National Science Conference Award.

The "Southern School" jade carving is also good at carving, for example, the multi-layer jade ball is carved by layered hollowing technology. Other products made of zuò using the hollowing technique are carved into one or more pieces of an object in a certain form. For example, the crab pot, the cage body is carved with aquatic plants, stone mountains and flowers, the cage mouth is closed, and the cage eye is less than one centimeter wide, reaching into the small tool, carefully carving the small crab in the cage, the technique is very exquisite. There are also jade carvings such as carp, angelfish, shrimp, duck, mandarin duck, lotus root, radish, and fruit that use this technique.

Skeletonizing the live ring is also a difficult technique. The live rings on the amphora, furnace smoke and nine-ring knife can swing flexibly after being carved, which increases the fun of playing. As a representative of the Southern School, Hua Lao heard that he was an apprentice alone, and there were more than 300 people. It's just the one who can really pass on its mantle. I don't think I've heard of it yet.

Yu Lifei has always wanted to carve something by himself, although his hands are steady and his knife skills are also very good. But this knife refers to a large knife, not a knife for carving. Now that such a master-level person suddenly appeared in front of him, Yu Lifei's heart was also pounding.

"How can I have the vision of Hua Lao." Boss Huang said with a wry smile that the three million jade materials, after Hua Lao's processing, are worth at least 10 million or more.

"Young man, I don't know if I can cut my love?" Hua Lao said very politely.

"Yes. But there is a reluctant request below, and I hope that Hua Lao can fulfill it. Yu Lifei said humbly.

"Tell me about it." Although Hua Lao is in his early sixties, he is in good spirits, especially a pair of eyes, which shine with a terrifying light.

"I still have a piece of glass imperial green jadeite in my hand, I hope Hua Lao can help me carve something, of course, the honorarium will be paid." Yu Lifei said.

"Glass Imperial Green?" Hua Lao is also a little moved, the more he is a good carver. The more high-quality jade materials are needed. This piece of high green ice, he already thinks it's very good. But as soon as he heard that Yu Lifei still had a piece of glass imperial green in his hand, he also had some changes in his heart.

And the people around heard that Yu Lifei had a piece of glass imperial green. I gasped even more. Although the Zhouping jade market is the country's four major jade materials, the scale is not smaller than Yunnan. What appears now is not the old man in the jade world. It is the boss of the jade market, but most people have not seen the glass imperial green. Of course. That doesn't count as a finished product.

"Yes, about six or seven kilograms, in an irregular circle." Yu Lifei said.

"No problem, lad, where do you live, we'll go and see it later." Hua Lao said impatiently. The first step in carving is Xiangyu, and he can't draw any conclusions until he sees the jade.

"I live in Tanzhou, and after I go back this time, I'll find a time to send it to you." Yu Lifei said.

"No problem, if it's inconvenient for you, I can go to Tanzhou." Hua Lao said.

Boss Huang and Boss Li next to them smiled bitterly when they heard Hua Lao's words. Although Hua Lao doesn't have a shelf, everyone knows that he is busy, and if he doesn't have good jade materials, he generally doesn't dare to ask him to see it. But Hua Lao is now willing to go to Tanzhou, which is more than 700 kilometers away, for a piece of imperial green, and Yu Lifei's face is big enough.

Boss Li's store can transfer money, and after the transaction between Hua Lao and Yu Lifei was completed, the two sides left each other's contact information. Before leaving, Hua Lao also told Yu Lifei to contact him as soon as he returned to Tanzhou. Whether he goes to Tanzhou, or Yu Li flies to Zhouping, but it must be fast.

As soon as Hua Lao left, most of the people gathered in front of Boss Li's store dispersed, and now it was completely dark. Yu Lifei has just completed a three-million transaction, and I'm afraid he won't be able to solve the stone again.

"Boss Yu, do you want to take another look, the stone I have here is actually quite good." Boss Li is in a good mood, the transaction between Hua Lao and Yu Lifei was completed in his store, and this alone will make headlines in the jade market tomorrow.

"Okay." Yu Lifei nodded, with these three million, his problems were basically solved. But if he can come back to such a piece, after returning to Tanzhou, he can return Mo Zhenjun's five million, and he will have no baggage.

"Boss Li, is the stone under your shelf a rough stone?" Yu Lifei suddenly pointed to a stone at the foot of a shelf and asked.

"That's how it should be." Boss Li was also a little unsure. The shelves in the store are used to place rough stones, and it is normal for them to be crushed and deformed. Sometimes the shelves swing and a stone is stuffed underneath.

"Shall I take it out and see if it will be successful?" Yu Lifei asked.

"Absolutely." Boss Li felt that Yu Lifei had brought him good luck, and he could tolerate his almost unreasonable behavior.

"Boss Li, I bought this stone, and I want this one more." Yu Lifei took the rough stone that was used as a corner, and was overjoyed. In order to hide his joy, he chose another random rough stone on the shelf.

It is a flat round stone with several thin threads on it, about the size of a rice bowl. Overall, the surface of this stone is not very good, otherwise it would not have been buried for so many years. But Yu Lifei knew that there was the glass imperial green that he had just told Hua Lao about in this stone. This kind of jadeite that can be met but not sought is actually pressed under the shelf, if it is not for Yu Lifei, I don't know how many years it will be before it will be discovered.

"This piece is a match, I'll give it to you." Boss Li glanced at the original stone in Yu Lifei's hand and said disapprerovingly.

"Business is business, and favors belong to favors, I feel that this stone has been pressed by you for so long, and I am really a little wronged. You're giving it to me for nothing now, aren't you even more shameless for it? No, this stone has to be at least a thousand. Besides, you'll have to give me a cheaper stone. Yu Lifei has the tone of an upstart, he just earned three million, but he actually has arrogant capital.

"Okay, two pieces are six thousand in total, okay?" Boss Li said.

"Thank you." Yu Lifei did not bargain this time, but simply paid the money, hugged the two stones and walked out. Before he walked out of the jade market, Yu Lifei threw another piece of rough stone in his hand to the side of the road. And the other disc stone was held tightly in his hand. (To be continued......)
