Chapter 44 Traditional Handicrafts
PS: There was a power outage at the end of the year, so the chapter that promised two o'clock in the afternoon could not be sent, sorry!
Now two chapters are released in a row, which can be regarded as compensation for the gaffe at noon, and there is a change before 12 o'clock in the evening!
The process of grinding and polishing is divided into three steps, the first is to remove the rough surface with a polishing tool, that is, to remove the rough surface of the surface with a polishing tool, and grind the surface very finely, followed by the covering, that is, to polish with polishing powder, and then to clean, that is, to clean off the dirt on the bracelet with a professional solution, and finally to oil and wax. to increase the brightness and finish of the bracelet.
Ye Chenxi didn't have a polishing machine, so he could only go to someone else to do it for him.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Lingtian still gave up the idea of finding someone to polish in Tengzhou. Yesterday, it was revealed in public that the glass imperial green has set off too much turmoil in the gambling stone world, and it is estimated that the entire Tengzhou jade world is talking about him now. If he knew that Ye Lingtian had taken out so many top-quality jewelry, he didn't know how much trouble it would bring.
Although Ye Lingtian is not afraid of others looking for trouble, he is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, and it is better to have more than one thing.
Well, let's go to Spring City. Thinking of this, Ye Lingtian waved his hand, and these jade ornaments that shone with dazzling light suddenly disappeared, and an extra spirit stone appeared in his hand, holding the spirit stone and sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating and practicing according to his usual habits.
The moonlit night is quiet, and the voices of the people around are even more distant. The child time coincides with the alternation of yin and yang, and is the best time for practice.
Ye Lingtian silently transported the "Tianyuan Jue", absorbing the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, and began to guide the true qi in his body to swim along the meridians. After running for one hundred and eight weeks in a row, I felt that my body was light, I felt comfortable, and all fatigue was swept away.
When I opened my eyes, the sun had risen obliquely. Ye Lingtian stretched his limbs comfortably, washed up briefly, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, got up and walked out of the hotel.
Spring City is undoubtedly a beautiful city, named for its mild climate and the four seasons like spring.
Most people who come to Spring City like to visit the famous Jade Street, which is several hundred meters long and has hundreds of small shops, which is the main net market in Spring City.
The so-called net goods refer to polished jade jewelry. The jade jewelry sold here has a complete variety, including large pieces, small pieces, bracelets, ornaments, etc., high, medium and low-grade.
There is an alley not far from Jade Street, most of the houses in the alley are old, the faΓ§ade is not large, and the walls on both sides are scattered with signs such as "decoration", "polishing", "carving" and so on.
This is the gathering place of traditional jade craftsmen in Spring City. With the development of science and technology, the processing of jade has also entered the modernization, and the living space of traditional handicraftsmen has become smaller and smaller.
Nowadays, few of the younger generation learn these traditional handicrafts, and only some elderly people rely on them to make a living.
The reason why Ye Lingtian chose to come here to polish those superb jade jewelry is precisely because these traditional craftsmen pay attention to artistic virtue, and they will not be like some businessmen now, and they can also keep secrets.
"Huh?" Ye Lingtian, who was strolling through the alley with a travel bag on his shoulder, stopped in surprise in a small shop.
The shop is small, with a "polishing" sign hanging next to the door, and an old man in his sixties, with gray hair and a wrinkled face, is polishing a jade bracelet next to an old grinder, while a teenager is wiping some jade with a coarse cloth.
The boy is not very old, about twelve or thirteen years old, but his eyes are very bright.
Ye Lingtian walked into the shop, and when the old man saw a guest coming in, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and greeted with a smile: "Young man, is there any jade to polish?"
Ye Lingtian looked at the old man, and the old man's smile was very sincere, giving people a sense of reassurance.
"Old man, my jade is more valuable, can you take a step to speak?" Ye Lingtian smiled slightly.
The old man glanced at Ye Lingtian a little puzzled, then nodded again, and said, "Okay, then let's go to the inner room." β
After speaking, he led Ye Lingtian inside. The light in the inner room was a little dim, the old man hurriedly stretched out his hand to turn on the electric light, and the two sat down at a square table, Ye Lingtian took out a bracelet from his bag and put it in front of the old man's table.
The old man only glanced at the bracelet in front of him, and then exclaimed, "This is glass imperial green?"
Ye Lingtian nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "It is indeed glass imperial green, but it has not been polished yet, so I will trouble your old man." β,
The old man's hand holding the bracelet trembled slightly, and he played with it for a while before he said in a trembling voice: "I have been polishing jade all my life, and today I finally saw this legendary superb jadeite with my own eyes." Don't worry, young man, I will definitely help you throw the light and let it shine the brightest. β
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Lingtian said solemnly: "Old man, I need you to polish more than this. β
After speaking, he took out all the jade artifacts he had processed and put them on the table.
"Glass purple jade necklace, glass blood jade bracelet, oh my God, I'm not dazzled, right?" the old man rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked at the pile of superb jade ornaments on the table in amazement, as if he couldn't believe that this was real.
Stretched out his hand and picked up a blood jade bracelet and looked at it, then grabbed a string of purple jade necklaces and admired it for a while, suddenly remembered something, stood up suddenly, stared at Ye Lingtian and asked vigilantly, "Where did you get so many superb jade jewelry?" After speaking, he glanced out of the corner of his eye.
"Uh......" Ye Lingtian was choked for a moment, he didn't expect such a misunderstanding, and hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Old man, don't be nervous, these jade ornaments are neither stolen nor robbed, and they come from a legitimate way." You sit down first, and I'll tell you slowly. β
The old man hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and saw that Ye Lingtian had no malicious intent, so he slowly sat down, but he still did not relax his vigilance.
Ye Lingtian pondered for a while, briefly told the old man about the process of gambling on stones in Tengzhou, and finally said: "Old man, if you have familiar friends on the side of Tengzhou Jade Street, you can make sure by calling and asking." Such a major event as solving the glass species imperial green should have spread all over Tengzhou a long time ago. β
The old man glanced at Ye Lingtian suspiciously, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number, walked to the side and whispered to the phone to talk.
After a moment, the old man put away his mobile phone and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Young man, I was embarrassed just now." You can solve so many superb jadeite, this luck is too good, I'm afraid that the best jadeite in Tengzhou has been solved by you! Hehe, I don't mean anything else, don't care. My surname is Lin, if you don't mind, you can call me Lin Bo. Now this superb jade jewelry is difficult to see, and the sudden appearance of so many will inevitably make people suspicious. β
