Chapter 32: The Most Inked Calcite in History
Duan Ruitang is a local second-way gambling stone merchant, the so-called second-way gambling stone merchant does not resell old jade, but specially follows the person who gambles on the stone, to see if the stone he has cut out still has potential to be excavated.
Under normal circumstances, even cut a few knives, the result is not satisfactory, the general people who buy the stone are empty-hearted, at this time if someone bids, just hold the ability to earn a little to earn a little, do not make a little loss on the jade material sold, so as not to lose all the money.
Businessmen like Duan Rui Tangtang generally have extremely poisonous eyes, and the waste materials they fancy tend to sell in good condition, while the sellers often regret it.
The place of the calcite is a small courtyard, the owner of the boss Wu is a skilled craftsman, due to the lack of wool shipments in recent years, nine out of ten bets, the tourists who come to Tengchong are generally bargaining to buy ready-made bracelet pendants, there are few gambling stones, resulting in the business of calcite is not good, quite light.
Boss Wu and Duan Ruitang are friends, the two of them have nothing to do to drink tea and chat, carefully using water grinding kung fu to solve a piece of material that may be green, and the grinder sounds from time to time, which makes people's ears pierce and sour.
Hu Bugui held the white stone wool he had just bought back in both hands, and walked in like Jing Ke who offered the picture, followed by a lot of lively people.
Duan Ruitang glanced at the wool in Hu Bugui's hand, remained silent, but his eyes flashed, he lowered his head without saying anything, and continued to watch Boss Wu rub the stone.
Gambling stones are mainly achieved by rubbing, cutting and grinding.
There is an old saying in the industry: rubbing stones can make you rich, and cutting stones determines life and death.
Rubbing stones is an ancient rule, the effect is good and safe, because if the part is not found well, blindly cut with a knife, it is likely to cut the only green in half with a knife, and a piece of good material will be destroyed.
The biggest regret of gambling is not that the gambling stone can't rise, but that it can be gambled up but is "cut" by itself.
For example, if you can take out a bracelet material from the whole stone, and you can carve a pendant in the middle, but you can only carve a few pendants, and then avoid the most likely cracks on the jade, and you can't carve any good objects by putting it together.
There are several particulars about rubbing stones, mainly depending on the fog, water, bottom and color. Because you can look inside with the light, you can judge the depth, width, and shade of green, and the order of rubbing the stone is, one rubbing, two wiping the dry, three rubbing ringworm, and four rubbing the pine flower.
Boss Wu was about to wipe a ringworm, polishing a few times to get out of the green, but the light is not very transparent, planning to open another window in the diagonal position, to see if it is a piece of water, he saw that there was a new guest coming, so he stopped and got up to greet.
When Boss Wu saw the white wool in Hu Bugui's hand, he shook his head secretly, he couldn't say that it would definitely not rise, but he had been in Tengchong calcite for more than 30 years, like this kind of white material out of green, I had never seen it once, it seemed that the young man in front of him was going to lose money nine times out of ten, so he just asked: "How do you cut this piece of wool?"
"You can make a small cut in the side. Hu Bugui said.
His stone is really not small, and there is no sign of jade on the skin, and there is no way to open the window, so it is better to cut it from the side to see the situation inside.
Boss Wu picked up the ruler to draw a line for him, cut how wide the part was, and asked him one by one, and then asked Hu Bugui to help put the wool into the stone cutter, and close the lid after marking the position.
Xiangyu matter, the boss of the stone is well-informed and is also an expert, and he knows whether there is one at a glance, and from the perspective of people's sluggish attitude, he knows that the probability of this stone is not high.
Insiders can tell from the skin color from the outside whether the stone is in good condition and whether it can be made into jewelry.
As for Hu Bugui, I really can't see it, because it doesn't look like a piece of wool from the root.
The result was not as expected by Boss Wu, the stone was of the same color inside and out, and it was not bad.
The expectant audience in the barrage was disappointed.
"Mr. Hu, you're out of sight. ”
"The inner cut is no different from the outer stone skin. ”
"I didn't have much to look at, I went to dinner. ”
The tourists and locals who followed the onlookers were tired of watching for a while, and they retreated.
After all, whoever guards is sleepy.
Hu Bugui's cutting method is called a cautious, each time a thin layer is removed, up and down, left and right, back and forth cut back and forth more than a dozen times, and the 100 catties of stone are slowly cut into only a thin and narrow one, and those who don't know think that he is sending money to Boss Wu.
But he just doesn't rush in, this calm and calm is not in a hurry, Boss Wu is also convinced, anyway, draw a good line, and the stone cutter is just waiting to collect the money as soon as it is opened, and he doesn't mind how many knives Hu Bugui cuts.
I don't know how many times after opening the cover, Boss Wu sighed, washed the stone with water, wiped it with a rough palm, and said in surprise: "It's green." ”
It is still quite good Zhengyang green, the color is very spicy, Duan Ruitang, who was originally drinking tea calmly next to him, was shocked when he heard the words, and walked over to see Boss Wu shining a flashlight on the light, although it was green, but there was only a slender line of green marks like willow leaves, which were thin and narrow, and the light could not see how deep it was.
That green is very pleasing, like a touch of tender willow in early spring, and it makes people feel cool and happy when they look at it.
Hu Bugui secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but how to cut it next, he didn't have a score.
He tried to shout Ren Lao, but there was no response quietly, it turned out that Ren Lao was an elderly person, who had to take a lunch break every day, and left a private message before going to sleep, saying that he didn't want the material, so that Hu Bugui could be cut as hard as a playhouse, and finally when the waste was thrown away.
Although your old man didn't say it explicitly, you can feel the taste of this stone that you don't have a show.
The long-awaited audience of the barrage was also excited for this touch of green.
"Teacher Hu, keep cutting, you're going up. ”
"Looking forward to, looking forward to, spring has finally arrived. ”
"It's a pity, no matter how good the thing is, it's for Ren Lao, and there is no anchor to do anything. ”
There is a saying in the gambling stone that is close to the rules, it is better to buy a line than to buy a large piece.
A large piece refers to the skin green, that is, a large piece of green can be seen on the surface of a stone, which is very confusing and tempting, but the key is also the depth of the material cutting, because the color does not necessarily go in, and it is full of green.
A line is belt green, the risk of gambling stone is much smaller than relying on skin green, as long as you see almost it will rise, this is the experience summed up by the predecessors.
Like Hu Bugui, if you cut a rough stone that looks like a waste material to the innermost point to see that it is in stock, I am afraid that there is not even a 1 in 10 million probability.
Solving the good color, Boss Wu rubbed his hands excitedly, secretly wondering for the good luck of Hu Buhui, could it be that this young man who looked energetic and laughed was really a master of Xiangyu?
And Hu Bugui is just thinking about a question now: starving the baby, anyway, what is out is not his own, why don't you order a pork ribs takeaway to eat first?
Author's words: Thank you for the reward of a little prosperity and loneliness, a good name for Shaoxia, although Weiwei wants to hide that she can't play traditional Chinese characters, but you can take care of it and think I'm not wrong.
Starved the baby, just a chapter today, cough cough, it's so hard to write, I read the information for a day.
