After breakfast the next morning, under the leadership of Ai Li, a group of six people drove to another small mountain village, about 120 kilometers away from MY County.

This is an inaccessible pastoral village, inhabited by more than 20 herdsmen, most of whom are scattered in this mountain village.

Miao Miao and the others, under the leadership of Ai Li, walked towards a herdsman's house who was about to sell jade.

When they came to the house of a wealthy Uyghur herdsman, the old Han Yunus, who knew that the owner of the house was not in the courtyard, Ai Li led them through the small door in the backyard of Yunus's house.

Before they could enter the yard, they heard a dog barking, and two local shepherd dogs the size of calves pounced on them.

The owner, Yunus, heard the dog barking and hurriedly rushed out of the house, and saw the respected ranger Ai Li and his own in-laws leading a few people to a stalemate with their dogs.

Yunus hurriedly reprimanded his dog in Uyghur in a rage, and the vicious dog heard the owner's reprimand and slipped into the kennel.

Yunus walked to the kennel and grunted and cursed the dog for tying up the dog's chain while holding the rope that the dog had broken free.

He invited the guests to sit at home, and everyone sat cross-legged on the earthen kang of Yunus, and Liu Ming talked about business with the host.

Under Ai Li's introduction, after hearing the intention of Liu Ming and the others, Yunus left the living room and entered the side room.

Soon, he walked in with a woven bag containing urea, and carefully placed the jade inside on the clay kang one by one.

Liu Ming half-knelt on the earthen kang and held a high-intensity small flashlight to shine on different parts of the jade, watching the color inside.

After roughly identifying from the appearance, Liu Ming basically knew it in his heart, he picked out two pieces of jade from dozens of jade, and calmly negotiated with the jade owner.

The shrewd Yunus saw that Liu Ming, who had a vicious eye, suddenly picked the real Khotanese jade, he shook his head with a smile and looked at Liu Ming, he knew that he had met an expert today.

Seeing that the connoisseur had seen through the fake jade, he was not angry, and without saying a word, he quickly repacked the remaining jade into the urea bag.

Immediately, both hands placed the two pieces of jade selected by Liu Ming in front of his legs, and saw his right hands pinched together and clicked twice on the coffee table.

Liu Ming knew that the old man Yunus used the unique way of local Uyghur transactions to negotiate with him, and the two pieces of jade Yunus asked for 2 million.

Liu Ming could see at a glance that the jade of Yunus was much worse than the four pieces of jade from the Pazilijiang family yesterday, and there were occasional cracks in the middle.

The old and spicy Liu Ming put his right hand together and clicked it on the coffee table, and he was ready to pay 1 million to buy two pieces of jade of different sizes.

In the end, at Ai Li's suggestion, the two pieces of jade were sold for 1.5 million yuan.

Yesterday, when the bank paid the jade money to Pazilijiang, for convenience, Miao Miao tied all the remaining money to the WeChat bank card.

Today, sitting on the clay kang in the house of the old Han Yunus, he pays the jade money through WeChat transfer.

Ai Li happily took 20,000 yuan of hard-earned money from the buyer and seller's house, and several people happily sat at the seller's house and drank milk tea.

Miao Miao and the others had always wondered why Liu Ming was able to choose two pieces of jade of different sizes from dozens of pieces.

Just now, Miao Miao saw that there was a piece of jade with tiger skin in the jade that was put into the urea bag by Yunus, and it stands to reason that it was a valuable piece of jade.

Seeing that everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions, Liu Ming took out four pieces of jade of different sizes from the urea bag of the old man Yunus.

He pointed to a piece of white jade and told everyone, "This is not Hetian jade, it is filled with Afghan white jade in turn." ”

Miao Miao humbly asked, "How can you tell if this is not Hetian Baiyu?" ”

"You see, although this jade is delicate, but with your eyes, you can't see the jade flowers, you can scrape it with your fingernails, you can scrape a little white jade skin." Liu Ming said and demonstrated.

Sure enough, Liu Ming's nails were stained with some white chips.

Liu Ming took another piece of seed material and said: "This is an imitation of mutton fat jade, which is passed off with a piece of Gobi jade with a good texture. You see, the color of this piece of material is so fucking bright, unnatural, rigid, monotonous, and at first glance it is a counterfeit. ”

He also picked out a piece of jade the size of a bowl, "This is imitated by mechanical processing, and the defective products of Khotanese jade are put into a drum filled with pebbles and water, mechanically rounded, and then sanded, polished, and varnished with sandpaper, cloth wheels, and varnished, which is easy to deceive the layman." Liu Ming gushed endlessly about the doorway in the jade.

Bahati was confused, "Brother Liu, don't say it so professionally, I don't understand, why are other jade fakes?" ”

Liu Ming took a piece of jade the size of a pigeon's egg, which looked amazing, and he patiently explained: "You are a herdsman's child, and you have livestock at home, and this piece of jade is taken from a cow." ”

"What?! How can there be jade on the cow? Bahati's eyes widened in surprise.

Liu Ming said slowly: "Now Khotanese jade is scarce, driven by profits, some herdsmen are also much smarter, began to use their brains to make jade articles, they cut a hole in the thigh of the live cow, put the best Khotanese white jade into it, and then suture the wound, take it out after half a year, under the soaking of blood, this piece of jade will appear color, pretending to be red silk, to achieve the effect of fake." ”

Ai Li and the old man next to him nodded vigorously after listening to this, and Liu Ming took a piece of jade with a big bowl and introduced: "This piece of jade is this Acre (big brother), put the excellent Khotanese white jade into the belly of the dog he just killed, stitched it up and buried it in the ground, and it took at least five years to take it out. ”

Liu Ming took out another piece of jade with a tiger skin and said: "See, this piece of jade has a yellow tiger skin, this is not a natural tiger skin, it is to soak Hetian jade in a liquid mixed with hot vinegar and iron sheet powder, bury it in the soil, and take it out after a few months, so that the surface of this Hetian jade will have some crimson orange peel lines corroded by iron foam, as well as gray spots of miscellaneous soil, it looks like jade with tiger skin." ”

After hearing this, Han Wen asked curiously, "Brother Liu, haven't you only been in the jade business in Hotan for a year and a half?" How do you know so much? ”

Liu Ming was embarrassed to laugh after hearing this, Ai Li saw his friend's face embarrassed, and laughed: "You don't know, he has been working with us for a year and a half, and he has been cheating all year long." ”

"No, Brother Liu, you can do such a lack of morality, this is not your style?!" Bahati was blunt and teased.

Liu Ming pointed at Miao Miao, who was silent but smiled, and said shamefully: "Since I became a good brother with Miao Miao, I will no longer do those ill-gotten business." ”
