At this time, the middle-aged man seemed to be aware of it, turned his head to look at Liu Yuan, his face was expressionless, giving people a feeling that there was no one in his eyes and he was high, and then drank his tea quietly.

In those eyes, there was arrogance and arrogance.

Although it is a competitor now, but after all, it is also a peer, while those celebrities who invited over to talk to each other and greet each other, everyone also chatted and exchanged experiences or something, only this guy from Jin Supreme sat arrogantly where he was, he didn't need to speak, he already looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, so no one was willing to put a hot face on his cold ass, so he sat there quietly drinking tea alone, which seemed a little out of place here.

Liu Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, anyway, he would compete for a while, and he looked at his strength.

In terms of strength, Liu Yuan is not afraid of anyone.

And where is the rostrum, a group of celebrities have been almost greeting, the first chapter of the Yangzhou Jewelry Industry Association was completed, walked to the history of Cui Thorn, and said flatteringly: "My lord, the time is almost up, can you start?" ”

"Well, let's get started." Cui Tingshi waved his hand and signaled that he could start, but he saw that the generous "appearance fee" was on the face, and he praised it: "Yes, you are still doing a good job in this event." ”

"Master Xie's praise, this is what a villain should do." Zhang Chengqi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly responded, and then asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to say a few words?" ”

This is not a gathering of literati and scholars, there is no good poetry to discuss, there is no silk and bamboo pleasure, beauty to invite cups, not to see that the jewelry industry pays a lot of taxes and has a lot of appearance fees, Cui Tingshi doesn't want to come yet, and now he still says that he wants to speak here, or he is exempt.

"I usually don't teach less, today is a game, and I'm not here to listen to the official's instructions, so I'm exempt."

"Yes, sir." Zhang Chengqi hurriedly responded.

I don't know how much effort it took to invite so many celebrities to cheer on the show, as for letting these adults say a few words or something, then don't even think about it, it's good to be invited, and Zhang Chengqi doesn't dare to force it.

Who calls themselves that the status of these businessmen is too low, it is like a state school, that is, there is nothing to do, and those adults are also willing to go where to encourage the gentlemen, they have spent so much effort or silver, but these adults and celebrities are all chatting with themselves, as if they are not here to be referees and witnesses, but to drink tea and chat here.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Zhang Chengqi stood up and motioned for everyone to calm down first.

"Okay, everyone, today is a good day, our Yangzhou jewelry peers gathered together, should be close, we will come to a few small competitions today, to meet friends, each other cut a bit, well, all the shopkeepers are closed today to participate in this competition, what should be said, I have said it before, less idle things, now we start to start immediately."

"Now I'm talking about the rules of this competition, this competition is divided into three links, the first link is to identify the material, there are dozens of boxes, each box has fifty gold and silver nuggets of different sizes, each piece has a number, what you have to do is, is to use the fastest speed, the lead filled inside, the fake gold and silver in question to pick out, write down the fake number, list on the paper and hand it to the servant girl on the side, there is a problem to pay attention to, that is, you can't cut these materials to view, the time limit is half a pillar of incense, The person who takes the shortest time and makes fewer mistakes will win the first place this time. ”

"The second link is to quickly repair the damaged jewelry, and the third link, is now to create a finished jewelry to evaluate the adults present, the most comprehensive three links, the selection of the best results, is the winner of this year, the final winner, in addition to the plaque issued by the industry association, may also receive the industry association to provide 50 taels of silver as a reward, everyone, hard work."

Fifty taels?

Many people heard this, and couldn't help but light up, a game, in addition to the plaque, there are fifty taels of silver, which is a big reward, those small shops that run in general, these fifty taels are equivalent to a few months' income, famous and beneficial, who is not tempted? ?

"It's only fifty taels? It's stingy, but it's better than nothing. When Liu Yuan heard this, he said a little to himself, as if the first place was his own thing, and the golden fat man on the side was at the tip of his ears, but he didn't feel that Liu Yuan was arrogant when he heard this, but smiled and gave him a thumbs up to show encouragement.

At the beginning of the game, a maid held a box and asked people to draw lots from left to right, Liu Yuan drew one at random, which showed that it was the twenty-sixth lot, and soon, a healthy servant picked up the No. 26 box and sent it to Liu Yuan's desktop.

I have to say that the organization of that chapter is very effective, and the whole process seems to be very fair and just, fast and fast, busy but not chaotic.

Soon, everyone who participated in the competition got a box containing raw materials, and then at the same time opened the box at the same time under the order of Zhang Chengqi.

Liu Yuan got the No. 26 box corresponding to the signature, opened it, and saw that there were two piles of materials of different colors, yellow is gold, and white is silver, in order to facilitate the post-game statistics, each block is marked with a number, which looks very professional, and the work is very meticulous.

This level is not difficult, a jeweler, if you can't even tell the truth of the material, then you really don't have to mix, Liu Yuan hasn't started arguing, there is a sound of metal knocking next to him, turning his head to look left and right, Liu Yuan was suddenly happy.

Zhang Fat Man of Jin Yu Zhai picked up a piece of yellow gold and stretched out his tongue to lick it, as if according to the subtle taste of different metals to distinguish, I don't know whether he is tasting gold or blowing the remaining lead when refining gold, but it is certain that his taste buds must be very developed, I have heard that some old experts go to dig gold mines, that is, lick the soil to know whether there is gold below, miraculous skills, from the trick used by Zhang Fatzi, it seems that the legend is still very reliable.

The shopkeeper of Chen Ji gold ornaments uses to look, holding a piece of gold and silver and placing it in the sun to observe, inspect its fineness, and then judge its authenticity through the criteria of seven green, eight yellow, and nine red.

And the arrogant old Xingzun who came out of the gold supreme is to scratch the gold and silver with his nails, it seems that he wants to check the authenticity of the material by testing the hardness method, only to see that he has a few regular strokes on each side, which looks professional and rigorous, and does it quickly and well.

Some people bite with their teeth, some people take out a piece of real to compare, and some people bring fire folds and are ready to burn them with fire, and they really use all kinds of methods.

Liu Yuan smiled, stretched out his hands, grabbed a piece with one hand, threw it in his hand, put it in front of his eyes to look at it, and then threw it on the table to make two "horn" sounds, and then grabbed two pieces from the box, threw them, looked at them, and then threw them on the table again and again, the same grabbing, throwing, looking, throwing, about five or six seconds to complete the identification of raw materials, extremely quickly.

As soon as you get it, the middle finger has used force to test its hardness; Throw it, that is, weigh whether its weight has a sense of heaviness, and confirm whether its specific gravity is in proportion; Take a look, that is, to see its color, luster and whether everyone has touched the traces; As for throwing it on the table, it is to detect its authenticity from the sound, because the sound of real money falling on the ground is very special, a little dull, making a horn sound, with no rhyme and no elasticity, and experienced people can hear it as soon as they hear it.

Grabbing, throwing, looking, throwing, it seems simple, but in fact it includes four links: measuring hardness, weighing weight, seeing the color, and listening to the sound.

But it was cautious, the players present and the onlookers next to them were stunned, others were carefully inspecting and picking thorns, the eyes were not good, the eyes were about to touch the material, the shopkeeper of Jin Yuzhai stuck out his tongue to lick it, it looked very funny, but it was also more serious than Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan's casual appearance, as if he was here to play, some threw a piece, and from time to time picked out one or two pieces and put them on the other side to play.

This is, little children playing with mud?

It was just a moment of effort, Liu Yuan finished the test, Shi Shiran sat down, took a sip of tea, and then picked up the pen and paper and wrote, it seems that he has completed the inspection and began to write the answer.

And at this time, the old Xingzun who came out of the Golden Supreme had just been half tested.

"Ah, that's it?"

"yes, he didn't even look at it carefully."

"It's, it's too exaggerated, right?"

"After a while, the results will be known."

"Yes, it's a bit mysterious to see me"

Everyone was talking, and even Cui Tingshi, who was sitting in the center, couldn't help it, turned his head and asked Zhang Chengqi on the side: "Zhang Huishou"

"The villain is there~" When Zhang Chengqi heard this, he immediately withdrew his mind and responded with a flattering face.

"That, look at Liu Yuan of the Jinyu family, what kind of detection method is this~~~, it seems to be very fast."

Zhang Chengqi paused for a moment, to be honest, he could see that Liu Yuan was testing, and he also felt that Liu Yuan was a little arrogant, he had carefully prepared a lot of gold and silver nuggets that were hard to argue for this competition, even if he was a senior old craftsman, he didn't dare to take it lightly, his nephew was accumulating the guy he wanted to deal with, so easily separated?

But thinking about it, Lord Thorn Shi opened his mouth, saying that he couldn't make him wait, Zhang Chengqi hurriedly responded: "This, it is estimated that the shopkeeper Liu pecked out a set of methods by himself, and he will ask after a while." ”

It can be seen that Cui Tingshi has a little preference for Liu Yuan, and after sitting down, his eyes often pay attention to him, and he immediately responds to his tone.

"Oh~~" Cui Tingshi responded, and stopped making a sound.

And Chen Chang, who was fortunate enough to sit next to his uncle, stared gloomily at Liu Yuan, who was born out of thin air and stole his limelight, and in his cunning eyes, it seemed that a conspiracy that would not see the light was brewing
