Chapter 14: Calcite
Ancient puzzles: "Most of the painters of the Ming and Qing dynasties love to use thick paper, which is re-xuan, also known as clip rice paper, this kind of painting paper is generally composed of two layers of rice paper, with good toughness, especially suitable for splashing ink rendering. ”
Therefore, there are many black-hearted businessmen who use special techniques to uncover the surface of ancient paintings and obtain two authentic works, so as to confuse the real with the fake.
"I see, the younger generation is taught." Jiang Yun nodded.
Gu patted her on the shoulder: "Your girl's intuition is quite smart, how is it?" Are you interested, come with me to the city to solve stones? ”
Jiang Yun hasn't been to the city yet, so it's good to see and know: "Okay!" "Just to see if the stone I chose is really outstanding.
"Aunt Zhou, let Xiao Liu Bei car."
The brother and sister were stunned, this old man was really unusual, and he even had a private car.
*
The wheels were speeding up, kicking up dust all the way, and Jiang Hao, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but ask: "Professor Gu, why are you a dignified university teacher, why are you nested in a small county town?" ”
Gu Qianqian smiled: "Old man, I don't usually have any classes, but the house in the county town is big and I live comfortably." "The city is full of buildings, and the space is narrow, so how can the current home be comfortable.
Jiang Hao nodded and stopped talking.
In the blink of an eye, the group arrived in the city, and the car stopped at the door of the bustling market - the prosperous dispensing market.
As soon as the brother and sister got out of the car, they were shocked by the noisy scene of crowds, thinking that the ghost market was already the top board of cultural and entertainment transactions, but they didn't expect that the scale here was several times larger.
The market is divided into two sections, on the left is a variety of cultural and entertainment shops, and on the right is a variety of stalls.
Jiang Hao looked curiously: "Can you do business here during the day?" ”
Professor Gu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "The objects here have all passed the clear road, and all kinds of procedures are complete. ”
You don't have to avoid people like a ghost market.
The brother and sister looked at each other and nodded, both thinking that this place was good and that they could come more in the future.
Gu took the two of them, through the crowd, turned east and west, and came to a rather deserted shop, where there was no elaborate decoration, only a room full of all kinds of stones, some intact, some broken.
"Lao Qiu, come out quickly."
The person inside answered, "Who?" ”
I saw a black and thin old man in his fifties and sixties walking out, this person was mediocre in appearance, but he had a pair of sharp and abnormal eyes, which was impressive.
After seeing the person who came, he smiled: "Yo, what kind of fragrant wind blew our professor here today, you must be fine with me, let's say." ”
"Hey, I'm here today!"
Professor Gu handed over the stone that Jiang Yun fancied: "This little friend of mine said that this stone can make good things, help me solve it." ”
Pick up the stone and take a closer look, the light yellow skin color, a crack runs through the middle, Lao Qiu frowned and shook his head: "You don't need to light the lamp, just looking at the appearance is not bad, are you sure you want to solve it?" ”
Ancient nodded: "Sure." ”
"You know my rules here."
The technique of the old mound calcite is quite famous in the original stone circle, and the stone in his hand must be green, and the worst can also reach the middle grade.
This man has an unwritten rule, but if he sees nothing, then he will not dissolve the stone on that day, and the guest must give him a hundred pieces as compensation.
"Let you solve it, what kind of rambling."
Lao Qiu Yin and Yang said angrily: "Okay, it's idle anyway, it's idle, you can earn a hundred by just pulling two knives, this kind of good thing is rare~"
He picked up the stone and gestured: "According to my meaning, you can go down directly with a knife." ”
The ancient looked at the stone and made no sound.
Jiang Yun on the side was anxious, although he didn't know anything about the jade rough, he also understood that this kind of cutting method would destroy the things inside: "Master Qiu, is there a safer way?" ”
Lao Qiu glanced at her, and his words were a little angry: "A safe way? Why don't you have a skin first? ”
The other party was angry, Jiang Yun lowered her head and stopped talking.
"Then let's take a look?" Gu also felt that his previous method was not good.
Lao Qiu sneered: "Okay, listen to you, but say in advance, a hundred yuan, you have to give me the whole money!" ”
As soon as the machine sounded, the gold was ten thousand taels......
Wipe away the cracked skin in the middle of the stone, and there is a trace of green inside.
Lao Qiu exclaimed: "See green!" ”
Professor Gu, who was ready to see Bai, was overjoyed when he heard this, and stepped forward: "Let me take a look!" ”
Lao Qiu pushed the person away: "What's the hurry, let's see if you shed more skin." Glancing at Jiang Yun, he continued to bow his head and operate.
The skin faded, revealing the original color of the stone, and a green ribbon was seen around the pale green stone.
Lao Qiu put down his tools, breathed a long sigh of relief, and praised: "Old Gu, you have picked up the treasure this time!" Who would have thought that there was a python belt hidden under this crack! ”
He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, put the stone in the other person's hand, and added: "It's a pity that the green on the python's belt is in the crack depression, it would be better if it was in the bulging place." ”
Professor Gu smiled with a smile on his face: "It is said that the python brings cash, and the wealth is the same, I want to open my eyes today, little old man, Lao Qiu, look, how to cut it next?" ”
The two of you said a word, I said, and the cutting plan was discussed in a moment, Jiang Yun listened carefully, and secretly wrote down various professional terms and the identification knowledge of the rough stone.
The first cut of the stone was quickly fruitful.
"It's up! Lao Gu, it's going up! ”
Lao Qiu put the stone on the table, and the original bowl mouth of the material was missing a corner at the moment, revealing a large area of pale green color.
"Hahaha, it's glutinous ice! Not bad! "The ancient picked up the original stone, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.
Jiang Yun stepped forward: "Professor Gu, can you let me take a look?" ”
"Of course, if it weren't for your discernment, maybe Aunt Zhou would have used it to press pickles."
Jiang Yun smiled and took the stone to take a closer look.
Gu Gu saw that she looked at it carefully, and her attitude was serious, and she gave birth to a little love for materials: "Girl, you see, this piece of jadeite rough is in a translucent state, and the texture is slightly turbid like glutinous rice soup, this is the glutinous ice species." ”
He continued: "There are many colors of jadeite, and green alone can distinguish several ......"
At this moment, Jiang Yun is like a sponge, quickly absorbing the knowledge about jade......
She learned very quickly, and as soon as Professor Gu finished speaking, he was able to draw inferences from one another, and found a few similar rough stones in the shop.
"Girl, your eyesight is really poisonous, have you learned from someone before?" Lao Qiu said tentatively.
Jiang Yun shook his head: "I haven't learned, it's just ...... There is a natural instinct for these objects. ”
Lao Qiu changed his prejudice against her and praised: "Oh, you are God's food!" How about an apprenticeship with me for a few years? Follow me to learn the skills? ”

Gu glanced at Lao Qiu: "Why do you want to learn from you?" I have better cultural knowledge than you! ”
Lao Qiu was not convinced: "I have more practical experience than you!" ”
Jiang Yun: "......"
