Chapter 10 Opening the Stone and Examining the Jade

Ye Cheng jumped off the roof and sat back in his place before the shopkeeper returned. www.biquge.info After a while, Xiao Er walked out of it, with a towel half on his shoulder, and was slightly surprised to see that Ye Cheng still hadn't left, so he walked over and asked: "This guest officer, you have also seen it, the shopkeeper and the cook happen to be absent today, you should change the store." ”

Ye Cheng smiled slightly: "It's okay, I just eat, I just don't get hungry, I see that you have a lot of jars, there must be some wine, you might as well sell it, I'll drink some and leave, how about it?"

Xiao Er raised his eyebrows, a little impatient, but it was not good to have an immediate attack, so he had to nod his head and go to the jar to make wine.

After a while, Xiao Er brought the wine and put it heavily in front of Ye Cheng, Ye Cheng didn't pay attention to it, and filled it with the wine jug alone.

"This wine is average, Xiao Er hurry up and cut some meat, otherwise it will be really difficult to swallow. Ye Cheng deliberately frowned.

"Hello, the guest officer, it's unreasonable, I just told you that the guys in the store are not here today, where are I going to find meat for you? Xiao'er said.

Ye Cheng shook his head with a smile and drank the wine slowly, waiting until the sunset. At this time, Xiao'er was ready to go to the door panel to close, and seeing that Ye Cheng still had no intention of leaving, he finally couldn't bear it and said: "I said guest officer, you are so leisurely, the traveler walking on this ancient road, which one is not in a hurry, but you are the only one who is excellent and travely, nothing is fine, our shop has been closed, please take it." ”

Ye Cheng pretended to be slightly drunk, and pointed at Xiao'er: "You little boy is eccentric, and I have never lost your wine money, why are you so anxious?"

"Where is the money?" Xiao Er stretched out his hand and asked.

Before Zhong Qing left, he had already given Ye Cheng a silver ticket and a few silver taels, but Ye Cheng pretended to grope around at this time, as if he was penniless.

Xiao Er saw that he couldn't come up with the money, and he didn't want to entangle with him, so he blasted out: "Forget it, I'm unlucky today, I met a guest like you, how about I invite you to eat and drink, the store has closed, come back another day." ”

Ye Cheng knew that his little second heart was filled with tomorrow's jade, and he put on a reluctant look at the moment, but he still walked out of the restaurant, only to see that he had just walked out, and the door panel was installed with a "bang".

Ye Cheng found a secluded place, slowly got dark until dark, flew to the roof again, still looking down through the tile crack, and saw that Xiao Er and his wife had changed their clothes and were lying on the bed, chatting about leisure, and the two packages were placed on the side of Xiao Er's bed.

"If you wait for these two to fall asleep, I'm afraid there will be some time. Ye Cheng thought about it, and finally came up with a note.

said that the little two and the woman were laughing at the bald man Qi Dahai that day, but suddenly heard a sound outside the house. As a thief, Xiao Er was so frightened that he jumped up from the bed, the couple looked at each other, and the woman said to Xiao Er: "Boss, what's going on outside, is it a thief?"

"We're thieves, are we still afraid of thieves?" Xiao Er didn't have a good air, but his heart was also up and down, so he picked up a short knife, put on his clothes and walked out tremblingly, at this time the sky in the forest was dark, only a bright moon gave some light to the woods.

By the moonlight, Xiao Er didn't notice anything abnormal, and was about to turn around and go back to the house, when he found that there was a sudden gap under his feet, and when he raised his feet, he saw that it was a silver ingot! Xiao Er wanted to exclaim, but immediately pressed his mouth with his hand again. Seeing that there was no one around, he carefully picked it up, bit it with his mouth, and checked it again, it was true, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Xiao Er was afraid that his daughter-in-law would know, so he quietly picked up the silver, and just wanted to go inside, but suddenly there was a "bang", Xiao Er was startled, followed the sound, and found that a piece of white on the ground reflected the moonlight, which was extraordinarily bright, and when he picked it up, it was a small piece of silver!

Xiao Ercai was confused, and hurriedly carried this piece of silver in his arms. At this moment, only the sound of "bang" was heard, and Xiao Er suspected that someone did it on purpose at first, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find a figure, so he said that he must not know which fairy appeared, and he thought that there must be silver two, so he began to look carefully in the night. When he was engrossed, he suddenly slapped his shoulder suddenly, almost knocking Xiao Er's soul off.

Looking back, it was his daughter-in-law, and Xiao Er put down his heart and said: "You mother-in-law, why are you always light and heavy!"

"What are you looking for here, you who have been stabbed with a thousand knives? If you don't go back to sleep quickly, and leave me alone in the house to listen to this sound, do you want to scare the old lady to death?" said the woman, and at this moment she suddenly heard a continuous sound of impact, and the woman was startled, and saw a small pit not far away, and there seemed to be something in it, and hurriedly went over to see it, and it turned out to be a piece of silver!

Then, not far from here, there was another small pit in which there was also a piece of broken silver. The woman was not happy when she saw it, but when she thought about it, she grabbed her husband's ear and reprimanded: "Okay, you greedy devil, you don't call yourself an old lady with such a good thing, and you make a windfall outside by yourself?

Xiao Er's ears were pinched, and he hurriedly defended, just when the couple was entangled, Ye Cheng had quietly entered the room, made the two burdens into his hands and feet, and then sneaked out of the house, seeing that these two people were still there and not playing, he couldn't help but feel funny.

Ye Chengxin said: "Wait until tomorrow, you will have a good look." Thinking of this, he found a clean place in the woods, closed his eyes and rested.

When I woke up, the sun had risen in the east, and a few rays of sunlight shone down, illuminating my body warmly and indescribably comfortable. Ye Cheng stretched his waist and walked towards the restaurant again, but saw that the door panel had been moved, and it seemed that it had already opened.

Xiao Er and the woman in the house were packing up their things, and when they saw Ye Cheng at a glance, Xiao Er couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"Guest officer, are you not leaving or are you coming back?" Xiao Er stepped forward and asked.

"There's a show here today, and I just want to see it. Ye Cheng is still sitting in the same position as yesterday.

Xiao Er thought to himself, is this person sick in the brain, where is the barren mountains and mountains here, where does the troupe come from, and how can there be any good show, but then he thought about it, he has to watch this person closely, don't let him ruin his own affairs.

At this moment, I only heard a loud voice shouting: "Li Fu, can you give money today?" As soon as Ye Cheng heard the voice, he knew that it was the bald Qi Dahai who came yesterday, and thought to himself that this little second was called Li Fu, but today I will make him unblessed.

Sure enough, when he saw Qi Dahai striding into the store, he was followed by five people, all dressed as farmers. Before everyone came to Li Fu's counter, Li Fu coughed twice and said: "Brother Dahai, do you still use such a teacher to mobilize the people? Don't be anxious, we still have to follow the old rules, open the stone and test the jade for a while, if there is really jade, the money will not be less yours, if it is a pile of stones, then I can't afford to talk about it, this money can't be given." ”

"I know, then hurry up, we're waiting for the money. Qi Dahai said anxiously.

Li Fu gave the woman a look, and the woman understood, and went back to the room to take out the burden of Qi Dahai yesterday. Li Fu opened the baggage, but instead of pouring out the stones inside, he opened his mouth to the sea and asked, "What's the matter, it's your burden yesterday, right?"

Qi Dahai and the others took a look, and saw that it was the burden they carried yesterday, and the stone on top of it was also mined by themselves, so they nodded.

At this time, I saw Li Fu take out a big bag from under the cabinet, Ye Cheng looked carefully, but when he saw the burden, it was full of various cutting tools.

Li Fu took the chisel in his hand, took out the first stone and pointed it at the sea and said: "Let's say it first, since ancient times, it is difficult for the gods to cut off the jade, what is in your wool, we don't know in the end, if you find that it is a pile of waste materials after a while, don't blame me for not giving you money." ”

"That's nature, I will never cheat on Qi Dahai!" Qi Dahai said loudly.

"That's good. ”

Li Fu began to use a chisel to open stones. But if you want to open a stone to test jade, you must first "wipe the skin". The so-called rubbing the skin is to try to reveal the green in the stone first, otherwise a hammer will go down, in case the real jade is chiseled, it will be too late to regret it. This rubbing the skin and pay attention to a rub, two rubbing, three rubbing, four rubbing pine flowers, each process is very exquisite.

But seeing that Li Fu seemed to be rubbing very hard and carefully, Qi Dahai's eyes widened, and he couldn't take his eyes off the stone under Li Fu's hand, but Ye Cheng was confident beside him, slowly drinking tea and looking at the people gathered around a stone.

After a while, the stone rubbed out, and I saw that the surface of the stone was mottled green and distributed everywhere. Li Fu smiled and said, "Brother Dahai has a good eye, it seems that there is a play in this!" Qi Dahai said with a happy heart, grinning at everyone.

"But this stone has never been rubbed up, not up, cut up is up, let's have to walk and see if it's not. Li Fu paused for a moment and began to prepare to cut the stone.

This stone-cutting process is also very exquisite, cutting too carefully, time-consuming and laborious, cutting too boldly, and it may untie the jade. I saw Li Fu start to chisel the stone, and after a while, the outer skin of the kung fu stone was peeled off, and then he picked up the saw again and began to cut.

Ye Cheng looked at his heart from the side and said: "Li Fu, this kid doesn't look at his mental skills, but this skill is really speechless, it's a pity that he went astray." ”

I saw that Li Fu cut very carefully, because this cutting is the key, and success or failure is often between this knife. As the so-called a knife is poor, a knife is rich, if there is nothing in a knife, then it is in vain, if the green is highlighted, it may be Jinluo jade silk.

Qi Dahai's eyes widened, the sweat on his forehead was already oozing, he couldn't stop rubbing his palms, his panting became heavier and heavier, and everyone who came with him also lifted their toes and looked at the stone intently.

But when I saw the opening of the stone, it turned out to be a gray and white color, and the green on the surface did not penetrate at all, but the stars fell on the epidermis, which could not be used. For a while, everyone was disappointed, and Qi Dahai stomped his feet and let out a sigh. Li Fu said unhurriedly: "Brother Dahai, don't worry, aren't there still four or five stones here?"

Ye Cheng watched it funny, and said in his heart: "You dropped other people's stones last night and put your rotten stones, of course, you have no fear, and you are still here to pretend to comfort others, it's really ridiculous." ”

At this time, Li Fu had already begun to wipe the second piece of wool, and after wiping, it was similar to the first piece, and there were dots of green on it. After Li Fu finished wiping, he was slightly stunned, and had to continue cutting at the urging of everyone.

When the wool was separated, everyone looked at it, but saw that although there were some green lines inside, the cracks were criss-crossed, and it was not a good material at all. The crowd sighed again. Li Fu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the woman, and said in his heart: "Isn't it good to let you pick ordinary stones, how did you get a piece with green, fortunately you didn't cut out a good jade, otherwise you would have lost a lot of money on this piece." ”

The woman looked dazed, not knowing what Li Fu meant, so she didn't say anything.

Li Fu took a sip of tea, settled down, rested for a while, and began to cut the third stone. Only cut half, it has been found that the green is all over the stone embryo, and the texture is clear, the particles are uniform, and the discerning person knows that it is a good jade at a glance. Everyone exclaimed, but Li Fu was sweating on his forehead at this time, and even the woman was stunned and speechless.

After the wool was completely cut, I saw that the green sprinkled with the ocean was distributed like a waterfall, the luster was soft and soft, and it was slightly fluorescent, and it turned out to be a piece of high-grade glass!

Qi Dahai and others have been quarrying for many years, although they don't know how to open stones, but the quality of jade is clear at a glance, and they exclaimed at the moment, and everyone hugged together. The woman took the handkerchief in her mouth, as if she had seen a ghost in front of her, but Li Fu staggered, took a few steps backwards, and almost fell to the ground.

The next two pieces of stone wool, although not so good, can be called medium to high-class. Li Fu and the woman were completely stupid, but everyone in Qi Dahai cried with joy.

Ye Cheng took advantage of the fact that everyone had opened the stone just now, and had already entered Li Fu's room, and took out the silver taels that he threw yesterday, and when he came out, he saw that the result had been known, and he couldn't help but be happy for Qi Dahai.

It turned out that after Ye Cheng brought out Li Fu and his wife last night, he quietly entered the room and replaced the stones that had been dropped by Li Fu, but Li Fu and his wife could never have thought of such a thing.

"Li Fu, give the money!" Qi Dahai said with a smile.

Li Fu's face was pale, and he just wanted to answer, but he only heard the neighing of horses outside, obviously someone had arrived. Li Fu knew who was coming, and then smiled and said, "Want money, go with him!"
