Shangguan Xu Yang walked straight into the jewelry store called "Jade Yuan", and was greeted by rows of commodity cabinets, which were lined with various jewelry.

There are Hetian jade bracelets, jade Buddha cards, agate necklaces, small leaf red sandalwood bracelets, and eighteen arhats of Hainan yellow rosewood...... Numerous.

After Shangguan Xu Yang and the others expressed their intentions, a beautiful saleswoman took the two of them to the room where the gambling stones were stored.

It is better to say that it is a room than a warehouse, a large warehouse of nearly 100 square meters, with snow-white wallpaper on the walls.

Surrounded by what appear to be industrial cutters, in the middle are rows of double-decked shelves more than two meters high, all of which are filled with stones.

The stones are colorful, yellow, white, black, and almost pale green.

Of course, Shangguan Xu Yang would not underestimate these stones, and when Shangguan Xu Yang passed by the commodity cabinet just now, he quietly glanced at them.

The cheapest things cost a few hundred yuan, and jade bracelets and jade jade cards cost four or five figures.

So this is not an ordinary stone, but a wool rough stone with jadeite inside, maybe there is a piece of superb jadeite hidden in it, which is priceless and may not, and it is definitely more than enough to make people rich overnight.

There was a salesman next to him who seemed to see that Shangguan Xu Yang was a novice, and hurriedly came up to warmly entertain him and explain the knowledge of jadeite to Shangguan Xu Yang.

As the saying goes: "people's hearts are separated from their belly", who knows what this salesman is thinking?

(Haha, novice eggs, people are stupid and have a lot of money.) Pay the tuition, you, this month's commission is there, hehehehe. ）

Sure enough, Shangguan Xu Yang listened for a while, and then he was a little eager to try, and walked to the shelf to look at the jade rough.

Shangguan Xu Yang picked up a piece and asked about the price, put it down, and shook his head.

Then he picked up another piece and asked about the price, and then put it down again.

It made the salesman lose his temper. I secretly said in my heart: "This master, whether to buy it or not, say something, if you can't pay the price, I have asked more than 20 yuan." ”

At this time, there happened to be two masters cutting stones on a cutting machine, which is the "calcifying stone" in the jargon, and Shangguan Xu Yang walked over to learn the doorway.

Calving stone is a meticulous work, a solution is called opening the window, that is, cutting a small area on the rough stone, if the jadeite in good condition is exposed, it is called "cutting up", at this time you can increase the price and sell it, or you can continue to solve the stone.

There is a saying in the gambling stone world: "Rubbing up is not called rising, cutting up is rising." This sentence vividly illustrates the gambling nature of gambling stones.

Another solution is to completely disassemble the jadeite rough, so that the true form of the jadeite can be seen at a glance. The jargon is called "peeling" and the gamble is in the end, of course, this solution is not indiscriminately cut.

If you cut it, you can make a few more things, and if you cut it, you can only use it as a scrap. The profit gap can be imagined.

While the two old drivers were fiddling with the original stone to draw the line, Shangguan Xu Yang concentrated on the perspective, and what made him happy was that he could actually see through, although he could only see a rough idea, but it was enough to judge the value of the jadeite.

The density of the jadeite rough is very large, that is, the "meat" is very thick, and he can't see the color inside, as if there is a small layer of mist.

This is a piece of jadeite rough that is slightly larger than an adult's fist, and its skin is brownish-yellow, which looks like the entrance of Damakan. The vast majority of the positions that Shangguan Xu Yang saw through were some white flowers, occasionally a little light green. Only in the very core is a small patch of green, which seems to have a slight color cast.

The most taboo in the gambling stone world is "color"

"The color difference is one level, and the price difference is one place." This shows the importance of color.

Calving stone is a very exciting thing, there is a jargon called "a knife is poor, a knife is rich", which is a true portrayal of calcite.

In front of the cutting machine, in addition to Shangguan Xu Yang, there were several people around, men and women, and Shangguan Xu Yang were also waiting to see the results of this rough stone.

The gambling stone world is actually just: "The madman buys, the madman sells, and there is a madman waiting." ”

Maniac buys, which is used as a metaphor for buying gambling stones, which is either rich or expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to play.

Maniac sells, used as a metaphor, the difference in profit

The purchase price of the rough stone is actually very cheap, dozens of hundreds, and it is easy to turn hundreds or thousands of times as soon as the "performance" is good.

There is also a madman waiting, used as a metaphor for speculative people, who buy jadeite rough stones that "perform" well, and then do not cut or rub them, and they can earn several times the profit by putting them in a few years and then selling them.

Watching the master calculate the knife position, draw the line, and place the rough stone, the cutting machine roared and spun.

Go down, stop, spray, observe, and then decide whether to cut or wipe again.

Then it is to set the knife position again, then cut, then spray water, and then observe.

After cutting three times in a row, the cut surface is still a white flowered stone, occasionally some green is also light and worthless, the onlookers shook their heads again and again, thinking that this stone is probably more auspicious than lucky.

Shangguan Xu Yang looked at it with perspective eyes, and when the two masters of calcing the stone arranged the rough stone again to draw the line, he already knew that this knife was about to cut out the green jade in the middle.

"Look! Out of the green! ”

"It's up! The bet has gone up! ”

"Cut out the green, this time it looks like it's going to be earned." A few people who were close to him said sharply.

The crowd on the side whispered again, and the two masters of the calcite also showed joy, and quickly stopped, wiped Han, and then turned off the machine and took the jade rough to a desk and turned on the flashlight to take a closer look.

Flushed with half a bottle of mineral water, the water flow washed away the gray-white dust on the jadeite rough, revealing the color below, and a sharp-eyed person said happily: "It's yellow and green, it looks like a glutinous seed, a little ice." ”

One of the calcite masters took a strong flashlight and irradiated the green position on the jadeite rough, so that he could see some of the situation inside, and after looking at it for a long time, he nodded with a smile and said: "Ice glutinous seed, there is no crack, but the size is a little smaller." However, there should be a few pendants as well. ”

The onlookers were talking again, and a few people took out their mobile phones and made a few calls. Shangguan Xu Yang listened to it ignorantly, and probably understood that the ice glutinous species was better than the glutinous species, and the most advanced ones were the ice species and the glass species.

Yellow and green are also the higher grade colors of jadeite, and no crack means that there is no crack in the jadeite, and the pendant can be produced.

Whether there is a crack or not is also a key factor that affects the value of the final product.

I saw someone make a gesture, and the crowd consciously quieted down.

Watching the two masters continue to dissolve the stone, this time they replaced it with a portable angle grinder, although the efficiency of this angle grinder is not as good as that of a large cutting machine, but it is light and easy to control, and it is not easy to hurt the "meat" of jadeite

I saw that every time the master cut it, he had to wash the cut surface with water, and then shine a flashlight on it, so as to avoid cutting off the green part.

After about ten minutes, the process of calcing the stone was finally completely completed, and the yellow and green pieces were completely peeled out, about the size of an egg, in an irregular shape, waiting for subsequent design and carving.

This piece of pure jadeite wool is called "bright material" in the gambling stone world. ”

To put it bluntly, it is a jadeite raw material that thoroughly shows the value, and it is the final product of the gambling stone.

After the material was washed, it was not immediately put away, but was taken by the audience to take turns to enjoy it, waiting for the person who liked it to bid for it. It seems that this is also a feature of jade culture, Shangguan Xu Yang is also a participant, and he walked up like others and carefully observed it with a magnifying glass.
