Chapter 21: The Stars
This grinding stone is a hard thing, and it is manual work, Ximen Jinlian is worried that if he is not careful, the stone will damage the jadeite inside, so he is extra careful, and does not dare to use the stone dissolving machine to cut the stone directly, but uses the most appropriate method to grind off the skin on the outside of the stone little by little.
"Jin Lian, let me come!" Zhan Bai walked in from outside and said with a smile, "This kind of thing is manual work, it's really inconvenient for you to be a girl, why don't you command, I'll grind the stone?" β
When Ximen Jinlian heard this, she nodded and said, "Okay, I've worked hard for you!" β
"What's that?" Zhan Bai smiled, took the polisher from her hand, and asked with a smile, "Just grind?" β
"Hmm!" Ximen Jinlian said with a smile, "I saw that this piece of jadeite wool performed well, and I was worried that if the calcite was not careful, the jadeite inside would be cut, so I would rather be careful, and the grinding stone is more appropriate." β
"That's true!" Zhanbai said as he controlled the piece of jade wool with a vice, and began to grind the stone little by little with a polisher.
It's just that the surface has been polished two or three centimeters, and it took more than half an hour to grind off the epidermis, but inside is a large piece of white cotton, and there is no green at all. If he remembered correctly, this piece of wool should have been the first one they bought after they arrived in Jieyang.
Gambling once in a while, in fact, it's nothing. Big deal - Zhan Bai thought in his heart, what's more, gambling on stones and stones, the key is still in this gambling word, naturally there are collapses and rises, if you only gamble up and don't gamble, then it is called a problem, so there is no more, just continue to grind.
Simon Jinlian has also been standing by his side all the time. Looking at it, seeing that the sweat on his head was coming out of his busy work, he immediately greeted with a smile: "Xiaobai, if you don't rest for a while, I'll go get you a cold drink?" β
"Good!" Zhan Bai looked up and smiled.
Simon Jinlian hurriedly ran out of the basement to get ice cream in the kitchen refrigerator. Ling, this day, although it is autumn, the temperature has been high, and it is good to not move usually, but it is very hot when you move.
"Jin LianβMissβ" In the basement, Zhan Bai cried out as he pulled his throat.
Ximen Jinlian was stunned, took two bottles of Coke and ice cream, and ran away. In the basement, I saw Zhanbai shouting with surprise on his face: "Jin Lian, come and see, it's green!" β
Although Ximen Jinlian has long known that this piece of jade wool is certain. It will be green, but when he heard Zhanbai say this, he was still full of joy and hurriedly ran over.
Sure enough, Zhanbai grinds and grinds. I opened some white cotton, and the green mangs inside have been revealed, but the green mangs have reflected the white cotton, and I still haven't seen the real jade. He took some more water and smeared it on the cut surface, making the green reflected in the white cotton more conspicuous.
"Sure enough, it's green, Xiaobai, your luck is really good!" Ximen Jinlian pulled over the chair next to him, beckoned Zhanbai to sit down together, handed him the ice cream, and said with a smile, "Eat cold drinks first, let's continue grinding later." β
"I don't eat ice cream!" Zhan Bai opened a bottle of Coke and poured a big sip on his head.
"You don't eat, what are you doing with so much?" Simon Jinlian asked curiously, there are a lot of ice cream in the refrigerator, most of them are HΓ€agen-Dazs, which is said to be the most expensive of the ice cream, but it tastes good.
"Bought it for you?" Zhan Bai smiled, "Don't you like to eat that?" β
Simon Jinlian smiled, sometimes she is like a child, she likes to eat ice cream, fruits, snacks and so on...... And Zhanbai has checked everything about her, so he naturally knows everything about her preferences.
"Sooner or later, I'm used to having trouble with you!" Ximen Jinlian chuckled.
"That's nothing, I'm used to you all my life!" Zhan Bai smiled and made a lifelong promise.
Ximen Jinlian was stunned for a long time, stunned, if there is such a man, who can get used to her for a lifetime, in this life, what more can she ask for? But...... But he was wounded......
Zhan Bai saw that her expression was different, and he hurriedly asked, "Jin Lian, what's wrong with you?" β
"I didn't ...... It's nothing! Ximen Jinlian suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly shook her head and said, God, where did she want to go? I felt that my face seemed to be burning again, and I was busy lowering my head and pretending to eat ice cream to cover up the past.
Seeing this, Zhan Bai didn't say anything anymore, drank a few sips of Coke, looked at the jade wool and asked, "Jin Lian, do you want to continue to rub the stone?" β
"Well, continue to wipe it open and take a look, the specific performance inside, this is just white cotton, and white cotton can't be sold for money." Ximen Jinlian said with a smile.
"Good!" Zhan Bai nodded in agreement, and suddenly looked at the leftovers left by some cut stones piled up on the ground, and asked, "Jin Lian, how to deal with these leftovers?" β
"You can sell it too!" Ximen Jinlian didn't forget, Lao Zhou's shop, just accept these scraps, she asked Lin Xuanlan, although these leftovers are the stones in their mouths, but generally speaking, as long as there is a trace of emerald, that is, when the stone is cut, a trace of emerald is accidentally cut off, although the jewelry made is only c goods, although the price cannot be sold, but it is still very popular.
"This can also be sold?" Zhan Bai asked in surprise.
"Yes, this can also be bought, made into some low-grade jewelry, and there are more in the night market! Ranging from tens to hundreds of dollars. Ximen Jinlian explained.
"I'm still preparing to help you clean it out tomorrow!" Hearing this, Zhan Bai shook his head with a smile.
"No, wait for these jadeite wool materials to be cut, and find Lao Zhou to pull them, don't look at these scraps as inconspicuous, all of them are sold, and they will probably be worth tens of thousands." Ximen Jinlian chuckled, "This is jade wool, not stone." β
"Hmm!" Zhan Bai continued to rub the stone, but asked curiously, "Jin Lian, do you know how this jade was formed?" He was also very curious, what kind of environment did this stone go through in the ground, and it turned from a stubborn stone into a priceless jadeite?
"I don't know!" Ximen Jinlian shook his head and said, "Xiaobai, what kind of jewelry do you like, what color?" Shall I get you a wrench or a bracelet? Although Xiaobai is her bodyguard, he doesn't get paid, and these days, he helps her back and forth.
Zhanbai is indeed very rich, and he doesn't care about these little money, but Ximen Jinlian is also faintly uneasy in his heart, give him money, he will never ask for it, but if he has the best jade, give him some, so what's the matter?
"What am I going to do with this?" Zhan Bai shook his head.
"Collect, don't you think these jadeites are beautiful?" Ximen Jinlian said with a smile.
"It's beautiful!" Zhan Bai smiled, "However, I like red, that kind of red, not the golden silk red to you." β
"If you want gold silk and red jade, I am reluctant to give it to you!" Ximen Jinlian said with a smile, jadeite, sometimes it depends on everyone's hobbies, some people are lustful, some people are good, but it is really rare to be picky like Zhanbai, "This time we bought so much jadeite wool, if there is a red one, I will make you a retro style jade pendant, how about it?" β
"Okay!" Zhan Bai agreed, and the polishing machine in his hand rustled, grinding off the skin of the jadeite wool again.
"Golden Lotus...... This jade ......" Zhan Bai suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Ximen Jinlian leaned over to look, Zhanbai took the water, sprinkled it on it, and the faint emerald green light was reflected from the inside, revealing the extremely elegant, but extravagant silver glow.
"It's beautiful!" Ximen Jinlian praised from the bottom of her heart, and still hadn't completely ground out a facet, but the inside was already flashing with light.
"It's like a starry ......," Zhan Bai said, "It's unbelievable, I've never heard of jadeite actually glowing?" β
"Let's grind it all apart and see!" Ximen Golden Lotus Road.
"Good!" Zhanbai nodded, busily took the polisher, continued to grind the stone, with such a performance of the jadeite appeared, he naturally did not dare to take it lightly, a careless, this loss is millions, but it is all money!
It took half a day to grind the whole piece of jadeite wool, as Ximen Jinlian saw at the beginning, there was not much jadeite inside, most of the area was occupied by white cotton, but the jadeite grinded out made Zhanbai and Ximen Jinlian amazed.
The whole piece of jadeite grinded out of it is an irregular trapezoidal shape, small at the top and large at the bottom, pure glass bright green - in fact, Ximen Jinlian feels that this green is probably not bright green, slightly lighter than bright green, but in the middle of this piece of jadeite, there are dots of light, forming a green glowing point......
"Jin Lian, what's in here?" Zhan Bai took the flashlight from the side, intending to see what was shining in it?
"I don't know!" Ximen Jinlian shook his head and said, "Since there is a golden silk and red jade, could it be a silver thread?" β
"I don't think it's like silver wire, and sterling silver doesn't shine, huh?" Zhan Bai shook his head and said, "You see, these star-like embellishments are the source of the green mangβif they are made into bracelets, it feels like they are holding stars in their hands." β
"I'm not holding the stars in my hands now?" Ximen Jinlian happily held the jadeite, with a smile on her face, no matter what it was, as long as it was beautiful, even if no one bought it, the feeling of holding the star in her hand was also very good......
Zhan Bai looked at the faint green glow of the jade against the smiling face of Ximen Jinlian, and he was also happy in his heart, after all, to be able to see such a superb jadeite, it is also necessary to pay attention to a blessing, some people may be busy all their lives, and they have never heard of it.
Well, no, I've never heard of what jadeite can shine? Even if it is a diamond, it will only emit a dazzling fire when it is cut and reflected by the refraction of light, and this jadeite, even in the dark underground, is itself shining.
