Consistent with Wang Ding's doubtful answer, this text is about some information about Hetian Yu. Hetian jade has a long history in China, and throughout the ages, people have used jade as a metaphor for all the beautiful things. China has been known as the "country of jade" since ancient times. The ancients regarded jade as a treasure and wore it as a treasure. The ancient medical book said, "Jade is the beauty of stone." Sweet and non-toxic" and said that jade is the most abundant substance in the human body. It is believed that sucking jade, with the help of saliva and its synergistic effect, can maintain health.

Not only that, but in ancient China. Jade is also a social heavy weapon that communicates heaven and earth and worships the ancestors of ghosts and gods, is the material surface of power and status, is the burial utensils for the deceased to protect the body and embalming, and is also a personality symbol for scholars and gentlemen to clean their bodies and clear their aspirations, flaunt themselves and pursue beautiful sentiments.

Wang Ding quickly brought some information about Hetian jade in front of him, because many Wang Ding himself knew the Tao, and it was more useful that Wang Ding's understanding of the outer skin of Hetian jade, the text on the jade plate told Wang Ding that the outer skin of Hetian jade is generally divided into three types: color skin, sugar skin and stone skin.

Color skin refers to a layer of jade skin distributed on the surface of Min jade, there are many colors, the jade world is named after various colors of these jade materials, such as black skin, deer skin, etc., the quality of the jade can be seen from the skin color, such as black skin, deer skin, etc., mostly high-quality white jade materials.

Ziyu of the same quality. If it has a skin color such as autumn pear, the value is higher. The thickness of the color skin is different from that of jadeite, it is very thin, generally less than a millimeter, and the shape of the color skin is also 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 Ziyu with colored skin. And upstream. The chances of finding the color skin jade are very small.

The so-called sugar skin refers to a layer of yellow-brown and sauce-colored jade skin distributed on the surface of Hetian jade mountain material, because the color resembles brown sugar, so the sugar skin jade is called sugar jade. The thickness of the sugar skin of sugar jade is large, from a few centimeters to twenty or thirty centimeters, and it is often surrounded by white jade or green jade, showing a transitional relationship. Sugar jade is found near fissures in ore bodies.

The gambling nature of the sugar skin is a little bigger, because the jade quality inside is difficult to judge. It may be the best white jade, or it may be ordinary green jade. After some jade pickers pick the sugar-skinned jade, they often take it out to gamble with others, and they themselves do not untie it, which is very similar to the jade gambling stone!

The last one is the stone skin, which mostly refers to the surrounding rock surrounded by the surface of Hetian jade, which is mined together with the jade at the time of mining, attached to the surface of the jade, and the boundary between the stone and the jade of this kind of stone and jade is clear. It's easy to separate them. Stone skin is also the easiest material to identify the quality of jade.

According to the hint of the jade plate, Wang Ding can judge. The piece of material in front of him now is a piece of candy and jade. According to some of its characteristics, Wang Ding can know that it belongs to the material of mountains and rivers, and the white jade inside is not the best mutton fat jade.

"How is it, Wang Ding, do you see it?"

Zhang Yuwen waited for a while, and then he couldn't wait to listen to the opinion of this junior, after Wang Ding finished reading it, he raised his head and straightened his attitude: "Zhuang Lao, Uncle Zhang, I think this piece of jade material is a mountain and water material, and its volume is large. The outside is wrapped in a sugar skin, and it is often said that the small material is out of mutton fat, and the possibility of this piece of jade material out of mutton fat jade is not very large, but the skin is wet and greasy, and the performance is still good, I guess it should be green and white jade inside, but the quality should be good. ”

Wang Dingzhi Dao green and white jade is also a good nephrite, but the color is slightly worse than that of mutton fat jade. According to the perspective just now, Wang Ding's judgment was absolutely right.

Wang Ding told the origin, skin, and characteristics of the jade material, although Zhuang Lao was a little surprised, but he was not particularly surprised that Wang Ding could have this performance. After all, Wang Ding's learning and comprehension ability is very strong, just a few days, he has been in Paris for so long, maybe he has learned a lot of knowledge.

Compared with Zhuang Lao's envy, Uncle Zhang was even more surprised. After listening to Wang Ding's appreciation, Zhang Bo went to Zhuang Lao and asked, "Lao Zhuang, what is your opinion?" ”

Zhuang Lao Ha smiled, "My opinion, similar to him, this stone is more likely to produce green and white jade, but Tusken, the material of such a large piece of green and white jade is not lower than the price of ordinary mutton fat jade, are you still not satisfied?" ”

"No, it's not that I'm not dissatisfied, I also think that this piece of material can't produce mutton fat, but the little brother's words, I really think the future is terrifying."

Tusken looked at Wang Ding with a smile, this would not doubt Wang Ding's ability, and took out a palm-sized piece of jasper from his pocket as he spoke.

"Little brother, the first time you came, I didn't give you any gifts, I'll give you this piece of jasper, right?"

Tusken directly pushed the jade over, Wang Ding didn't want to accept it, but the other party's hand was very fast, and he had already stuffed the jade into his pocket all of a sudden, and Wang Ding couldn't refuse.

"Then thank you, thank you, Uncle Zhang."

Jasper in nephrite, there is also a lot of exquisiteness, the general jasper will more or less show a little impurity, if the color is accompanied by a little black spots, the value of jasper will be lower, but then again, if the jade in the black is more, fuller, the jade will become black jade, the value is much higher.

The piece of jade that Uncle Zhang handed over to him was decent, and Wang Dingzheng accepted it because he knew that its value would not be too high.

"Lao Zhuang, Yu, you helped me see it, but in fact, I asked you to come and have other things to trouble you."

"Oh?" Zhuang Lao pretended not to know, but in fact, he couldn't guess that Tusken was looking for him and had other things. "Tell me what's going on."

"Actually, you should have guessed that this season is the time for our prospecting team to go up the mountain to look for ore. Of course, before going up the mountain, we would like to ask Mr. Zhuang to preside over the ceremony, for jade pickers, this is the need for a respected senior in the industry to preside, so I think you have this qualification. ”

What Tusken said is very high-sounding, in fact, Zhuang Lao also knows that this is just an old friend who can afford himself, and besides, it is not the first time that he has presided over, everyone acquiesces to himself, and Tusken does not want to trouble others.

"Okay, I'll give you the ceremony tomorrow. Wang Ding, do you want to participate? ”

Zhuang Lao was always thinking about Wang Ding, but Wang Ding was really not interested in the ceremony or anything.

"Elder Zhuang, I don't think I'm going to go to the ceremony."

"So what are you going to do tomorrow?"

Zhuang Lao's question, Wang Ding didn't answer, Zhao Xiaohu rushed to the side, "Zhuang Lao, you can rest assured, Wang Ding will accompany me all the way tomorrow, we young people have a lot to say and do together, so you can preside over the ceremony." ”

What Zhao Xiaohu was thinking in his heart, Wang Ding was clear, and echoed, "Yes, Zhuang Lao, I will be with Brother Xiaohu tomorrow, and I won't go to the ceremony." ”

"Okay, then let's play tomorrow, there are a lot of good attractions in the new #Xinjiang, and it's okay to relax."

The summer of the new # Xinjiang is cooler, this is not like a city like a furnace in Gancheng, it is really pleasant to be able to play and rest here, but Zhao Xiaohu shook his head, "Play is for sure, but when I came in the car, I told Brother Wang Ding, let's not play first, let's go to jade mining first." Tomorrow, I will take Wang Ding and follow the jade mining team up the mountain to find jade. ”

Zhuang Lao grinned, he knew that Zhao Xiaohu was anxious to find a good jade, but Wang Ding was a little confused.

"Xiaohu, didn't you just say that you were presiding over the meeting, why did you go up the mountain? And if you go up the mountain, it shouldn't be a team looking for ore veins, how can there be jade mining? .

"Huh. The ceremony is just a formality, as soon as the host is over, then you have to go into the mountain, and to find a good season to go up the mountain to find a vein and jade mining, now is just right, and if the weather is colder, there is no way to stay in the mountain for a long time. Therefore, the jade miners and the ore veins were all in the mountains together. How about it, would you like to see it? ”

Of course, Wang Ding was moved, and before Wang Ding could express the opinion he wanted, Tusken enthusiastically added. "Wang Ding, you have good eyesight, you can go to the mountains to pick jade. You must know that the jade collected from the mountains belongs to you. Maybe you can pick a few pieces of good jade, then it's really worth the trip! ”

"Okay, then I'll go check it out. A long insight! ”

Wang Ding agreed, Zhuang Lao didn't say anything before, but now he had to remind Wang Ding, because it is so easy to enter the mountains to mine jade, in the new # Xinjiang, the Hetian jade mining area is more concentrated in the Kunlun Mountains, and to go up the mountain, it is necessary to travel a long distance, and it is basically difficult to come back without ten days and a half months.

"Wang Ding, if you enter the mountain, it will take a long time, you may not be able to come back in ten days and a half months, do you have to think about it?"

"I know this, but I think I'd better go and take a look, Uncle Zhang said, the jade I picked up is my own, I'm lucky, maybe I can pick up a piece of mutton fat jade."

Wang Ding's words in his heart are not just to find a piece of mutton fat jade, if the vein can be found, then mined, a steady stream of Wang Dingwang jewelry store supply to himself, this is the most critical!

"Okay, you young people are motivated, then you should hurry up and prepare your bags, and take advantage of the time you enter the mountain, I can catch up with my old friends!"

"Yes."

Wang Ding was looking forward to entering the mountain, Zhuang Lao said, and Zhao Xiaohu accompanied Wang Ding to pack his bags. And don't underestimate why Zhao Xiaohu accompanies such a simple thing as packing your bags, because it is not so fun to go into the mountains, the environment in the mountains is no better than other places, the terrain is complex, and the infestation of wild beasts, and at night it is the cry of the beasts, which is very terrifying, and there are jade pickers who stay in the mountains forever every year.

Therefore, where it is so easy to harvest jade, risks and opportunities coexist! (To be continued......)
