Uncle Wu put the jade belt plate back in the box, smiled and asked, "Old Yuan, do you know the role of the jade belt plate in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"It's usually worn by the upper class!" Yuan Hongjian replied.

Uncle Wu said: "Well, since it is worn by the upper class, how can there be such a poor jade quality, and such ordinary knife workers, and they are all machine workers." ”

"Uh......" Yuan Hongjian was a little speechless, and after half a ring, he smiled bitterly: "So, I hit the eye again?" ”

Uncle Wu and Chu Chen both smiled, and the meaning was self-evident.

Yuan Hongjian said a little depressed: "But, why would someone use old jade as a fake? ”

Chu Chen said: "Under normal circumstances, if you want to sell this antique for money, the most important thing is that you have to be old enough, and jade is no exception. There are two ways to make old jade, one is "new material and new work", this method of the old you should know a little, that is, after the new jade carving, use chemical and other methods to make the old as a genuine product. ”

"There is also a way to use the old jade new work, that is, to take the old jade with bad quality to carve, and then after processing, because it is old jade, a certain process dù, the deception is greater than that of new materials and new work."

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Yuan Hongjian frowned and said: "However, some of my jade belt plates seem to have been put into the soil, since the jade quality is not good, how can it be used for burial?" ”

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "The reason is very simple, we all know that there were golden jade clothes in the Han Dynasty, and that thing was worn on the dead to accompany the burial, and after many Han tombs were stolen, archaeologists can often see them." The gold thread in the golden jade clothes is the so-called golden thread. They were all stolen, and the jade pieces were scattered inside the coffin. ”

Hear here. Yuan Hongjian exclaimed: "Ah! Teacher Chu, are you saying that the material used for my jade belt plates is the jade on the golden jade clothes? But how could the golden jade clothes use such a poor jade? ”

Uncle Wu smiled when he heard this: "Lao Yuan, you have fallen into a misunderstanding in your thinking, who said that the material used in the golden jade clothes must be very good?" In fact, the material used in the real gold-threaded jade clothes, especially the jade on it, is very ordinary green jade. ”

"The reason why the golden jade cloth is precious is that it is worn with gold thread to make a human-shaped costume. Tongguò can reflect people's fear of imperial power, in other words, this preciousness is on a human level. As for the kind of jade pieces used to make materials, they are actually not worth much. ”

"Although the green jade itself is not valuable, especially the things taken from the dead, ordinary goods are not welcome at all. But this kind of jade piece has a characteristic, it is relatively thick, carved on the dragon pattern, carved with a phoenix pattern, and then worn together. Wrap it with gold or alloy and put it in a box, and it becomes a set of belts or buckles for the king. ”

"So there are a lot of tomb robbers, including people from jade shops, who see 'business opportunities'. Peddle this jade slice. Because it is an unearthed thing, after the transformation, it is sold on the market, and the value is much higher than a pile of unearthed jade pieces. And these seven jade belt plates of yours. It is made from this jade slice zuò. ”

After listening to Uncle Wu's explanation, Yuan Hongjian suddenly realized at the same time. I can't help but feel very depressed, feeling that there are too many twists and turns in the antique industry. One was careless, and he hit the second eye.

However, Yuan Hongjian likes to be more serious, although such a character sometimes makes him drill the horns, but in some things, it may be easier to tide over difficulties if he is more serious. For example, now, although he has a look, he is depressed at the same time, and at the same time, he has decided that he must make a name for himself in the antique industry, otherwise he will be sorry for the money he lost.

"Lao Yuan, if you want me to say, your foundation is really poor now, and you are really not suitable for buying things for the time being. Let's just talk about this jade belt plate, it's actually not very good. ”

Uncle Wu picked up a jade belt plate and said: "Because the jade is old, the jade watch has aging, and it looks deep and simple. But now the carving is on it, and the traces of the new carving are completely different from the original aging color. The engravings take on lighter, newer colors that can be seen at a glance with a magnifying glass. ”

"In addition, there is a Qin color on this piece of old jade, you can see if you look closely, one or two of the Qin lines have been cut off by carving marks, which proves that it is a new worker of old jade."

Yuan Hongjian scratched his head, a little embarrassed, he was sometimes anxious, he felt good when he saw something, and he would have the idea of buying it in his heart, just like this group of jade belt plates, just now he knew that he didn't have much research on jade, but he saw that the jade material should be an old material, plus the price of only more than a thousand, his resistance was not much.

However, just like people usually buy things, they wanted to buy it before they bought it, and regretted it after they bought it, and when he spent money to buy this set of jade belt plates, he felt that he was reckless, so he rushed to appraise it, and it turned out that he really bought it wrong.

Chu Chen also knew about Yuan Hongjian's problem, he said with a smile: "Elder, I think it's best for you to bring one or two hundred with you when you go shopping in the future, and when you feel that your eyesight is better, bring more, so that even if there is a loss, it can't be too big, do you say yes?" ”

Yuan Hongjian smiled and said, "You have a good idea, I will bring less money in the future." By the way, Mr. Chu, I heard that you are also very good at gambling stones, I passed by Juyuan Pavilion before, and I saw that there seemed to be some trade fairs there, do you want to go and have a look? ”

Chu Chen was slightly stunned, and after listening to what Yuan Hongjian said, he remembered that today was the annual Jade Rough Stone Fair in Juyuan Pavilion, which was reminded by Lu Changshun when he recorded the program on the TV station beforehand, but there were more things to do at these times, and he forgot about it for a while.

Speaking of which, this jade rough stone fair sounds quite atmospheric, but it is actually a sales method for Juyuan Pavilion to clear its inventory. At the trade fair, there are good wool materials, but only a small part of them, and most of the rest of the wool materials are actually selected wool materials in ordinary transactions, and their quality can be imagined.

Despite this, the annual trade fair of Juyuan Pavilion is still very lively, the biggest reason is that the wool at the fair, the price is very low, and although these wool materials are poor, they are not bricks, and there is a chance to solve high-grade jadeite.

Chu Chen's most impressive thing was that at last year's trade fair, a middle-aged man unraveled a piece of old pit glass, which was purchased by Lu Changshun at a price of 6.28 million yuan on the spot.

At that time, the scene was really crazy, as if the wool didn't cost money, Chu Chen was affected by this, and he also spent more than 2,000 to buy a piece of white sand skin, but as a result, he opened a piece of shit and lost 2,000 yuan.

Now that he knew that the exhibition was today, Chu Chen definitely wanted to take a look, he said with a smile: "I'll go over and have a look in a while, will you go, old man?" ”

Yuan Hongjian waved his hand and said, "I don't have any interest in gambling stones, so I won't go." ”

"Okay, then I'll go......"

After saying goodbye to Uncle Wu and the others, Chu Chen walked towards Juyuan Pavilion, and when he arrived at the door of Juyuan Pavilion, it was as usual for many years, it was crowded and crowded. And he thinks that it may be because of the influence of the old pit glass species that was solved last year, so there are a lot of people on the first day of this year's exhibition.

Generally speaking, the popularity of the first day of the trade fair must be the highest, because the first day of good wool appears the most, although Lu Changshun will be according to the number of inventory, the good wool will be dispersed into a few days to sell, but it is undeniable that the quality of the wool in the next few days is indeed not as good as the first day.

This is actually normal, the things taken out on the first day are not good, so what interest do the guests have to patronize?

Every time there is a trade fair, the door of Juyuan Pavilion is also full of wool, sometimes the weather is bad, and the canopy will be built, although this will affect the business of the surrounding shops, but Lu Changshun will be a person, and the relationship with the neighborhood is usually good, plus the management committee has also been dotted, and there will be no problems.

Seeing Lu Changshun communicating warmly with his friends at the door, Chu Chen did not step forward to say hello, but first looked at the wool outside.

Generally speaking, the quality of the wool outside the door is not good or bad, the reason is also simple, if it is too good, the customer walks into the store to see, and finds that the wool inside is not as good as the outside, then his desire to buy. Hope will definitely be lowered.

And if the quality of the wool outside is too poor, then the guests will also think, your outside things are so bad, how many good goods can be inside?

Of course, among the wool that is not good or bad, there are also things that are particularly eye-catching, such as the Big Mac near the door, a piece of yellow sand skin weighing nearly a ton and a half.

However, Chu Chen stepped forward and found that this piece of yellow sand skin looked a little dry, such a table xiàn means that if there is jadeite in it, the seed is not old enough, the water is short, there are often violet, and there may be bean green, that is, "spring with color". Occasionally, there are emerald green and purple tricolors or floating green tricolors.

Generally speaking, such wool materials, basically the jadeite is mainly low-grade, and the high-grade jadeite is basically unavailable.

Despite this, Chu Chen still took out a magnifying glass and a flashlight to take a closer look, and found that the wool sand was very thick, although there were python patterns and pine flowers, but it looked like the crystals were thicker.

In the end, Chu Chen used his ability again, and the result was similar, if someone bought it at the price of this piece of wool, it would definitely be a big loss.

Chu Chen had just put away his things and stood up, and Lu Changshun also happened to come over.

The two sides greeted each other with a smile, and Lu Changshun asked, "Xiao Chu, what do you think of this piece of wool?" ”

Chu Chen didn't answer directly, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lu, presumably you should be confident about this piece of wool, right?" (To be continued......)
