Chapter 444: The Insect Tree Turns Jade

Everyone was surprised to find that there was a milky white and slightly yellowish thing in the hole, which was round in shape, as if it was a part of a worm, which made everyone a little confused, and they didn't know what was going on!

"Is this a tree moth?" Chu Yulan said with some uncertainty.

After listening to what Chu Yulan said, everyone really felt that this was the case, this thing was a moth in the tree.

"But I don't seem to have heard of it, moths will be found in this kind of tree jade!" Liu Sizhe said with a puzzled expression.

Dong Fatzi said with a smile: "It shows that this phenomenon is very rare, and the tree jade with insects should be very valuable!" ”

Su Jinning glared at Dong Fatzi and said, "You know money and money all day long!" The whole person is going to dig into the money! ”

"Isn't this for you to buy something you like?" Dong Fatzi said with an exaggerated expression.

Dong Fatman's cheap appearance caused everyone to laugh, Su Jinning immediately glanced at him, but it was not good to say anything, although the fat man was a little picky, but what did she want to buy, although the fat man was sometimes a little unhappy, but in the end he would buy it for her.

After a while, Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's too vague now, it's hard to say whether it's a worm or not, wait until I polish it first......"

Chu Chen changed to an angle grinder, first removed the surrounding stones little by little, polished them to a rough outline, and then replaced them with a hanging mill on the side, carefully removing the remaining stones and impurities, and when they were cleaned up, the entire section of the tree jade was displayed in front of everyone.

I saw that there were two small holes on the uneven trunk, and the things in the small holes should indeed be moths. Neither of the two borers looked too big, and one was about to climb into the tree. The other is ready to crawl out and make a lively move. Coupled with the round figure, it makes people feel very cute at first sight.

After confirming the guess just now, everyone was curious, although this tree turned into jade was common, but there were insects in the tree, which I really hadn't heard of.

Dong Fatzi reached out and touched it, and said in surprise: "This thing feels smooth, it looks like jade!" ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Liu Sizhe said speechlessly: "This insect must have also been siliconized, forming something like agate, which of course feels like jade!" ”

Dong Fatzi thought about it and felt that this was indeed the truth. He said with a smile: "I remember that agate should be regarded as chalcedony, which means that these two of mine are jade insects, and they are also pure natural jade insects without any carving, so the value should not be low, right?" ”

Although the finely carved things are good-looking, but some people really like natural, original things, the value of this jade insect is really not low, and like this kind of insect tree jade is relatively rare, and rare is expensive, everyone thinks that maybe Dong Fatzi may really make a lot of money this time.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Fatty." They all say that I am the reincarnation of Fuxing, I think you should be the reincarnation of Fuxing, right, I actually gambled on the stone twice by feeling, and it rose sharply! ”

"It's over! It's over! How can I compare to you, Brother Chu! I'm just a chubby blind cat! ”

Dong Fatzi waved his hand again and again. made a funny expression and kept being modest, which caused everyone to laugh again.

After a while, Liu Sizhe spoke: "I remember that I have never heard of this kind of insect-carrying tree jade for sale in the market. It's hard to say how much this thing will be worth. ”

"Why don't we look it up on the Internet first?" Dong Fatzi asked.

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "There are indeed a lot of things on the Internet, but they are generally popular news. Like the usual more private, or out-of-the-box messages. It's usually hard to find if no one has mentioned it. ”

"Besides, there are not too many people on the Internet in our country now, and many people in the jade antique industry can't use computers now, let alone surf the Internet, even if they know how much money they have, they won't be discussed on the Internet, so I'll call my cousin-in-law and ask!"

Then, Chu Chen called Wan Qianjun, Wan Qianjun really knew about this kind of insect-carrying tree jade, in addition to the value, he also told Chu Chen the reason for the generation.

It turns out that this kind of thing is called ship maggots, which eat sawdust for a living, and the reason for the formation of insect-bearing trees like this is also very accidental, first of all, after the trees are buried, they must have a storage time under the water for the first time, so that the ship maggots can multiply in large numbers in the wooden structure to form insect-bearing petrified wood. In the process of deep burial later, the ship maggots were silicified together, and finally formed the insect-carrying tree jade in front of everyone.

When Chu Chen hung up the phone, Dong Fatzi couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, did my brother-in-law say how much it was worth?" ”

Chu Chen first explained the reason for the formation of this thing, and then said: "This thing is relatively rare after all, if you count the insects alone, 100,000 pieces, as for other price factors, you also need to count the quality of the tree jade, and the number of insects, if there are more insects, then the price increase will definitely be higher." ”

Dong Fatzi heard that there were only 100,000 insects, and he was somewhat disappointed, but when he turned his head and thought about it, this kind of insect is really just a fossil, and it can't be a sky-high price, and if there are a hundred insects in this section of tree jade, isn't there 10 million insects alone? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smirk.

However, Dong Fatzi didn't want to think about it, his tree jade was only more than thirty centimeters tall in total, how could there be a hundred insects?

"Brother Chu, you said this thing is a maggot?" Su Jinning asked with a disgusted expression, and Chu Yulan and Wen Yuting's expressions were similar.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "This thing is called a ship maggot, but it is actually a bivalve marine mollusk, which is different from ordinary maggots. ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, the three girls felt a lot less nausea in their hearts, but when they looked at Shuhuayu again, they always felt that their cold hairs stood on end, and they no longer felt that those two insects were cute.

"I said fatty, this thing is not allowed to be taken home, do you hear?" Su Jinning said by the ear of Dong Fatzi.

At this time, Dong Fatzi was fantasizing that he could make a lot of money again this time, and when he felt a pain in his ears, he came back to his senses and asked with a puzzled face: "What's the matter?" ”

Su Jinning said angrily: "I said that you are not allowed to take this thing home!" ”

"Why!" Dong Fat Man was a little confused.

Su Jinning said loudly: "This thing is maggots, maggots!" Can you still eat well at home? ”

Dong Fatzi blinked his eyes and said, "I heard Brother Chu say that this thing is a ship maggot!" ”

"Anyway, I don't care, who called it with "maggot" in its name! ”

Dong Fatzi smiled and said, "Ning Ning, things have been dead for tens of millions of years, what else is disgusting?" You just have to treat it as money, don't you? ”

"No way!" Su Jinning resolutely refused.

Dong Fatzi scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said secretly, why is this woman so hypocritical!

"Okay, fatty, you definitely want to sell this thing anyway, just put it here with me first!" Chu Chen shook his head and smiled.

Dong Fatzi patted his head, and secretly said that he was a little stupid, this thing was originally intended to be sold for money, and his channels in jade antiques were not as many as Chu Chen's, and he would definitely maximize the benefits in Chu Chen, so he hurriedly agreed:

"Thank you, Brother Chu, as for the money, I'll wait for my jade to sell a knot!"

Previously, when he was in Lingnan, Chu Chen mentioned that Liu Sizhe's jadeite was simply made into jewelry and sold in his store, and he only needed to charge a little processing fee at that time, so that he could deepen the relationship with his friends, and secondly, increase the inventory in the store without having to press too much money.

Of course, this qiē is also because Liu Sizhe and their jadeite are not much related.

Of course, everyone would not object to Chu Chen's suggestion, but they were embarrassed to let Chu Chenbai help, so they insisted on giving Chu Chen's commission, although it was less profitable than selling jewelry, but it was undoubtedly much stronger than selling jadeite, and both parties were happy.

"Brother......

As soon as Dong Fatzi's words fell, Chu Yulan next to him called weakly, and Chu Chen instantly understood what was going on.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, when I untie the things, I'll put them in the store, this will always work, right?" ……”

Next, Chu Chen concentrated on solving the jade with insects, because he couldn't damage those jade insects, he could only use the hanging grinding most of the time, and the empty angle grinding and calcifying machine were just used by Li Guodong and Liu Sizhe to solve the stone, and it didn't delay today's calcing task.

Although this piece of tree jade is not very big, but because its surface is pitted, and it can't hurt those jade insects, when it is time to eat at noon, only a third of it has been solved, and a total of five jade insects of different shapes have been found.

This result was undoubtedly far from Dong Fatzi's thoughts, which made him feel very disappointed, and the whole person immediately seemed a little unhappy. This made Su Jinning feel very strange, but when she learned the reason, she angrily sent Dong Fatzi five words, "I want to go crazy for money".

At noon, everyone had a lively lunch, during which Chu Yulan was a little unexpected, and what she didn't expect was that the few vegetables fried by Sister-in-law Ji were very delicious, although they were not as good as the chef of "Eight Treasures and Jade Food", but they were not bad, which really surprised her.

But unexpectedly, she couldn't help but be happy when she thought that when she moved into her new house, she would be able to eat the delicious food made by Sister-in-law Ji every day.

After the meal, Chu Chen received a call from Qiang Zhaojun, saying that next Wednesday, the jade carving master he said before would arrive in the capital.

"Xiao Chu, are you going to buy him a house directly, or rent a house for him to live in?"

"Let's buy a house directly, sign a contract at that time, as long as he works with me for a few years, the house will be transferred to his name."

"Well, that's good, then you can just ask me for the money for the house at that time!"

When Chu Chen heard this, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Qiang, how embarrassing is this!" ”…… (To be continued......)
