The old man surnamed Wu watched Ren Jiangchi's fingers rub repeatedly on the surface of the rough stone, his eyes couldn't help but gradually brighten, and he muttered in a low voice: "No, right?"

"What won't you?" Fan Yanjiao pointed her ears and hurriedly asked the old man surnamed Wu.

"Have you seen Ren Jiangchi's gesture clearly?" The old man surnamed Wu turned his mouth in the direction of Ren Jiangchi, and said in a low voice: "His fingers have touched the entire surface of the rough stone, and it seems that he has touched it more than once. ”

Fan Yanjiao stared at it for a while, nodded and said, "It seems like this." But what's going on here?"

The old man surnamed Wu said in a low voice: "I suspect that this kid is not using a pulse diagnosis stone, but a kind of stone touching technique. ”

"Stone Touching Technique?" Fan Yanjiao was even more confused.

"Yes. The old man surnamed Wu nodded and said, "This is still a few years ago, when I was learning the craft with the master in the eight-sided groove of Yanjing Wangfujing, I listened to what the master said. ”

Regarding the story of the eight-sided groove of Yanjing Wangfujing, Fan Yanjiao had heard the old man surnamed Wu tell it before. said that at that time, Yanjing Jewelry Import and Export Company set up a jadeite acquisition point in the Bamian Groove of Wangfujing. Every morning before dawn, many people come from other places, carrying burdens and burdens, waiting for the opening of the store department of the acquisition point.

After the store opened, just like the experts of the hospital sat for consultation, the experts of Yanjing Packing Import and Export Company sat in the counter to evaluate and purchase the jadeite sent.

After selling the jadeite, these sellers were very happy, because in their opinion, a small broken stone could be exchanged for a few dollars, dozens of dollars, or hundreds or thousands of yuan, which was simply the accumulation of great virtue by their ancestors. You must know that at that time, a house was less than a few hundred yuan, and with this money from selling jadeite, I don't know how many people's urgent needs were solved.

After the Yanjing Jewelry Entry Company sorted out the jadeite that was acquired, packed it into a box, and then sent it to eastern Guangdong to participate in the Canton Fair. During the Canton Fair, there will be a large number of Hong Kong jewelers visiting to buy these jadeites.

In fact, it's not so much about buying as it is about robbing. At that time, many jewelers in Hong Kong made a lot of money by buying jadeite from Yanjing Jewelry Import and Export Company. As a result, Yanjing Jewelry Import and Export Company also earned a large amount of foreign exchange, which was particularly valuable at that time, and solved the urgent need in the construction of New China.

At that time, the old man surnamed Wu was an apprentice at the Yanjing Jewelry Import and Export Company, and the master who took him was an expert in the eight-sided groove jadeite acquisition point. Now, decades of work have passed, and the master of the old man surnamed Wu has already gone west, and the old man surnamed Wu has also become the chief appraiser of Jin Qifu Jewelry Company from the original apprentice of Yanjing Jewelry Import and Export Company.

"Uncle Wu, what did your master say about this stone touching technique at that time?" Fan Yanjiao was eager to hunt for curiosity, and hurriedly asked.

"My master said that when he went to Tengchong to buy jadeite wool, he once met a strange person. If you touch the surface of the rough once with three fingers, you will know what the inside of the rough looks like. My master has watched from the sidelines several times, and everything has come true.

"A few days later, by chance, my master saved this strange man once. So this strange man set a table of wine and thanked my master. While the wine was at its best, my master asked the strange man what was going on with his hand touching the rough stone.

"That strange man told my master that it was his ancestral stone touching technique. It is mainly based on the subtle difference in the surface temperature of the jade to judge the composition and distribution of the mineral components below. This requires not only talent, but also the taking of ancestral elixirs to increase the perception of the fingers. That's why he said it to my master with confidence, and he wasn't afraid that my master would learn. ”

"What about that strange man later?" Fan Yanjiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Lost contact because of the war. The old man surnamed Wu sighed and said, "After liberation, my master also went to Tengchong a few times, and local friends said that he disappeared when he was four years old! If I hadn't seen Ren Jiangchi's stone-touching technique today, and then thought that he had also taken a pill before, I wouldn't have remembered this matter at all!"

"Ah, Uncle Wu, according to what you say, is it possible that the big man is the heir of that strange man?" Fan Yanjiao's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's hard to say now!" the old man surnamed Wu shook his head, "Although there is already a previous example, but wait a minute, I have to look at this rough stone, he said whether it is accurate." Besides, even if he is accurate, he is not necessarily the descendant of that strange man. Maybe there are other inheritances of this kind of stone touching technique!"

As he was talking, he saw Ren Jiangchi stop rubbing and beckoned Fan Yanjiao over, "Eldest sister, I don't know whether to say that you are lucky, or if Mr. Wu has good eyesight, you earned this first rough stone." ”

"Did you earn it?" do you mean that the color inside this rough stone is very good?" Fan Yanjiao hurriedly asked.

"It's not just that the color is very good!" Ren Jiangchi touched the rough stone with affection, "In addition to the surface of this rough stone, the skin shell is a little thick, and the bottom of the skin shell is all high ice, and the key is that it is also integrated, without cracking and cotton." As for the value, Mr. Wu is an expert, so I won't talk much!"

"What, it's Gao Bing? And it's all in one, no cracks and no cotton?" Fan Yanjiao didn't speak, but the old man surnamed Wu shouted first.

No wonder he was so excited. Because when he was selecting the rough stone before, he found that the leather of the rough stone without opening the window was very fine, like a layer of white powder covering, and there were small grains of sand bulging in the white powder, and he gently slid the side of his finger on the leather shell, which had an obvious cutting feeling. When the white light flashlight is lit, the whole stone seems to have a sense of transparency, and the fluorescence intensity of the lamp foot is the same as that of the most edge of the stone, and there is no obvious sign of weakening.

At that time, the old man surnamed Wu had an intuition that this piece of rough stone was at least above the glutinous ice species. As for why the female shopkeeper only marked the price of 58,000, it is estimated that this piece of rough stone is white-skinned, and according to the gambling stone habits passed from Myanmar, they generally like yellow sand skin, thinking that yellow sand skin is old and oily. The white leather is far worse than the yellow leather.

The reason why the old man surnamed Wu insisted on choosing this rough stone is because he once bought a white leather, which feels very similar to this rough stone, and the sand on the leather shell is also such a nodule together to form a fine rice-like feeling. So when I saw a similar rough stone this time, I picked it out for Fan Yanjiao and tried my luck again.

It's just that he didn't expect that Ren Jiangchi would think that this rough stone was high ice inside, and it was integrated, without cracking or cotton. If this is really the case, then the price of this rough stone will have to increase by at least six or seven times, and it will not be possible to take it without a small 500,000 yuan!

"Yes, it's Gao Bing, it's one, no cracks and no cotton!" Ren Jiangchi nodded at the old man surnamed Wu.

"Come on, young man, lend me your leather bib to use!" The old man surnamed Wu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, "I want to go to the machine to solve the stone myself!"
