Chapter 163: The Treasure Appreciation Conference Begins
"It's really incomprehensible, it's in vain to make my flattery!" Shen Xiaoman saw that Li Yi came by himself, Dong Xiaonan was not around, and the scale of his speech was also larger.
Looking at Li Yi's cautious face, he couldn't help but laugh: "Forget it, I won't tease you." That's right, the Zheng family's treasure appraisal conference is arranged in the Zhushan Hotel.
According to the Zheng family, there are still many foreign buyers this time, so they ask for the highest standard of hospitality.
Thinking about it, only our Zhushan Hotel's stewed goose has the highest specifications and the best dishes, so let's come to receive it. Is it a surprise, you say? ”
Shen Xiaoman looked at Li Yi excitedly, and then took out a menu given by the back kitchen, densely listing the dishes and ingredients of this treasure appreciation conference.
"Li Yi, I know that your Lushan restaurant is also very popular, but you see that my hotel is such a grand event, can you give me some dishes?
There is also a medicinal goose, can you supply more? Just a few days, how about I give you double the purchase price after that?
I heard Xiaonan say that you want to expand the planting area of fruit and vegetable greenhouses, so I will sign a fruit and vegetable supply contract with you for targeted pricing!
In short, I won't let you suffer, and the ingredients sent in an expedited manner will be purchased at 1.5 times the original price, what do you think? Shen Xiaoman looked at Li Yi nervously.
After all, this treasure appraisal conference is a grand event in Zhushan County, and it is also a grand event in Zhushan Hotel, whether it can become popular depends on this treasure appraisal conference, she is really afraid that there will be a mistake because of the lack of dishes, then she will regret it.
Li Yi immediately agreed, when he came, Tian Qingshan had already led the villagers to start expanding the greenhouse planting, there are ready-made vegetable seedlings in the field, and they can produce fruits and vegetables when they are moved into the greenhouse, which also just dispels the villagers' concerns about the sales of fruits and vegetables.
When he returned home in the evening, Li Yi led people to transplant autumn fruits and vegetables to the greenhouse overnight, doubled the watering liquid, and waited for the next day's harvest.
Dong Xiaonan took Wan Mengmeng to handle the company process of the quarry as soon as possible, and strive to put it into production as soon as possible.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed. Because of the doubling of the irrigation of the new fruit and vegetable greenhouse, the number of fruits and vegetables produced is large and the quality is good, and the villagers who participated in the investment welcomed the harvest.
In order to let the villagers eat the peace of mind pills, Li Yi settled the bill every day, holding real cash in his hand, and the villagers were even more happy.
In the morning, Li Yi dressed neatly and followed the Tang Festival to the outside of the Zhushan Hotel, ready to participate in the treasure appreciation conference.
Unexpectedly, it was the security guards of the Zhushan Hotel and some of the Zheng family's bodyguards who guarded the door, and after Wu Tian saw Li Yi, he hurriedly walked over and joked: "Brother Feng, are you here?" You brought an invitation this time, right? ”
"You're poor!" Li Yi took the invitation handed over by Dong Xiaonan and patted it with a smile......
After everyone entered the venue, they couldn't help but marvel, this time it was even more extravagant than the last charity auction, all sides were covered with high-quality ribbons, and all the dining utensils were replaced with retro style, which complemented the atmosphere of the treasure appreciation conference.
"Hello, welcome to the Zheng Family Antique Pavilion, what are you looking for?" As soon as everyone walked to a stall full of antiques, a man in a tunic hurriedly greeted them.
"Zheng Family Antique Pavilion?" Li Yi is a little blindsided, isn't this a treasure appreciation conference? Why did the Zheng family open their booth to the venue?
"The Treasure Appreciation Conference is actually a comprehensive trade fair for various antique pavilions. Before the official start, the antique shops are allowed to sell privately.
After all, these antique cities are also waiting for the annual treasure appreciation conference to pay dividends. Tang Fengjie introduced Li Yi.
Li Yi nodded, it turns out that this is an unspoken rule?
Tang Fengjie originally wanted Li Yi to open his eyes with him, but Li Yi didn't want to show off, today was the Zheng family's treasure appreciation conference, he came to see the limelight and kicked the restaurant, and he didn't want to be exposed too early.
Seeing that Li Yi had no idea, Tang Fengjie took care of himself to appreciate the antiques that caught his eye.
"Hey, Li Yi, look at this, this jade is so beautiful, it's still purple? This color is so beautiful! Li Yi didn't want to move, but Dong Xiaonan was dazzled, looking at the stalls like a butterfly, and picking it up from time to time to praise it.
"This is fake, the real jade is translucent, how can there be colorful jade?" Li Yi said disdainfully.
"Cut, agate is colorful, why is there no jade colorful?" Dong Xiaonan argued unconvinced.
Li Yi picked up a small purple jade and explained: "The jade in nature is generally a whole piece, how can there be such a small one? Like a little thumb?
This is the processing waste of jade, which is then collected by jade merchants and dyed into colorful jade with dye, which is what you see in colored jade! ”
Dong Xiaonan looked like a ghost, he didn't see any jade in Li Yi's house, how did he know so much? Is it true?
"Hey, young man, I didn't expect to be a connoisseur? You're right, these jade are leftovers that are not wanted by those big factories, I bought them back and dyed them myself, I didn't expect you to see it at once, it's not simple! The stall owner looked at Li Yi's young age, and he actually knew how to do it, and said very curiously.
"Really?" Dong Xiaonan exclaimed.
"This beauty, jade is, to put it bluntly, just a mutated stone produced by the action of high temperature and high pressure in nature, how can there be any color?
If you like it, this pile of colored jade will be sold to you for 200 yuan! The stall owner pointed to the pile of colored jade in front of him and smiled.
Seeing that a pile of jade was only 200 yuan, Dong Xiaonan was instantly disinterested, and pulled Li Yi to leave.
"Hey, I have something good here, don't be in a hurry to go!" The stall owner looked at Li Yi and was angry, maybe he was a low-key local tyrant, if he could make a deal, he could also make a small profit.
"What? These colored jade stones of yours are all bargains, what other good things do you have? Dong Xiaonan asked disappreciatively.
"Look, this is it, this is a top-notch jade species, it's really good!" The stall owner took out a package and only let Li Yi and Dong Xiaonan take a look, so he hurriedly covered it, lest someone have bad thoughts.
"How? This thing is not fake, is it? The stall owner said triumphantly that he had bought this thing at a great price.
"Cut, it's like a glass, I don't know and I think you're fooling people with glass!" Dong Xiaonan snorted.
The stall owner was speechless for a moment: "Girl, this is a good thing, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" ”
He looked at Li Yi and felt that Li Yi should be knowledgeable.
Li Yi said slowly: "It looks like a high-grade jade!" Plenty of moisture, but the color is not satisfactory.
The name of Emerald comes from two species of birds in Yun Province, of which the small bird with red feathers is Fei and the small bird with green feathers is Emerald.
Jadeite is not a thing of Middle-earth, but comes from the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. Since the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was introduced to Middle-earth, and then it was all the rage. ”
Dong Xiaonan asked eagerly: "Then how do you see the color of the jadeite?" ”
Li Yi continued: "As can be seen from the name of jadeite, green is the most common color in jadeite, among which the bright and intense emerald green is the most precious.
According to legend, the top jade artwork in China is the "jade cabbage" in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, which is light and elegant, transparent and flawless. ”
The stall owner looked at Li Yi and said the source of the jade, and sighed in his heart, this Li Yi is not easy to fool, so let's do it.
Li Yi slowly picked up a small piece of jade and explained to Dong Xiaonan: "Jade generally determines the grade of jade by looking at the texture, color and marks.
And looking at jadeite is generally to look at the "species" of jadeite, which refers to the color and transparency of jadeite.
Among them, the one with high transparency, sufficient moisture and pure color is called Laokeng glass species, and it is also the top jadeite. ”
Dong Xiaonan covered his mouth lightly and whispered: "Then that glass just now is the top Laokeng glass species?" I've heard that this old pit glass is worth tens of millions! I can't even afford it. ”
The stall owner held his head high triumphantly, as if he had a diluted treasure in his hand.
Li Yi shook his head and denied: "No, although his glass species is brightly colored, it is not transparent enough, so it can only be regarded as a low-grade glass species."
Moreover, the most taboo in jadeite is the combination of white and green disorder, because this is called yin and yang jadeite, which is unlucky!
The left half of his jadeite just now is the yin-yang jadeite. ”
