Chapter 166: Treasures in Jade (seeking Monthly Pass)
PS: Today's first update, please support me again. Please help me. Please.
"Hey, the texture is good."
The clerk put away the knife, then washed the jade material with clean water and saw that the cut surface was soft and bright, and a brilliant light flashed directly in the sunlight.
Bao Longtu ran up and touched it, and immediately smiled and said, "It's good. Although it has not reached the level of white jade with mutton fat, it looks really clear."
"This is also pure white jade." Luo Shui smiled and said, "After fine grinding and polishing, apply a layer of wax, which is similar to mutton fat white jade."
"It's just similar, not real." Bao Longtu shook his head, then stood up and said, "Continue to cut it, and then grind the spotted parts. Be careful and don't chop them."
"No problem, just leave it to me." The clerk smiled. He had a lot of experience in calculating stones and grinding stones, and would never shake hands and crack the jade material.
While speaking, the clerk restarted the cutting machine, then gently grinded it, and according to the meaning of Baolong Picture, cut off the jade material in an orderly manner or the surface was not good.
This is a slow process, you cannot be too fast or too fast, so as not to crack the jade material by mechanical shock.
Fang Yuan and others waited patiently until half an hour later, all the rough stone skins of the jade material had been cut open, leaving only a ball of white and bright jade meat. But then again, after the stone skins and the broken parts were cut, the volume of the whole piece of jade material really shrank a lot, and it turned from a basketball to a volleyball.
Seeing this, Bao Longtu shouted directly: "What's going on?"
"The main reason is that the customer's request is too detailed." The store owner explained: "In fact, there are some leather materials that can be completely left behind. With the clever modification of the jade carver, they can definitely become part of the carving..."
"What I asked was not the volume." Bao Longtu frowned and said, "I asked about this crack. How did it seep directly into the inside?"
The volume shrinkage was expected, and Bao Longtu didn't care, but what he couldn't accept was that there was obviously a very deep crack in the jade material, a crack that penetrated directly into the inside of the jade material.
This crack is at the original broken stone. I thought it was a scabies, and it was enough to just grind it off. Who knew that after cutting off a layer, the fragmentation was still there. And there was a tendency to penetrate the inside.
"Little brother, this is a very normal situation." The shop owner quickly defended: "You must know that this is mountain material, unlike seed material or mountain water material, it is often water-milled for a long time, and the interior is naturally integrated. The mountain material is buried in the mountain and is easily mixed with various minerals. It is very normal to have strands and cracks..."
"Okay, no explanation."
At this moment, Fang Yuan waved his hand, then stretched out his finger and gently stroked the crack of the jade material: "Slice it here again, be careful not to cut it in a tangent, but rather it is slanted."
"Still cut?" Not only was the shop owner surprised. Even Bao Longtu was a little puzzled, so he simply asked, "How many pieces are you planning to cut the jade into?"
"Just cut one knife, and then cut one knife." Fang Yuan hesitated for a while and found a reason: "Don't you also want to know what the crack is like? You'll know it after cutting it."
"Yes, I really need to cut this knife." Bao Longtu immediately changed his attitude and said with great support: "I can't see it on the surface, but I'm afraid that the cracks will have many forks like centipedes inside..."
"No, definitely not." The store owner shook his head and said, "It's a slight crack. It's just a slight crack. It's just a flaw, and it definitely won't affect the overall situation."
"You don't have to cut it out before you know it." Bao Longtu signaled: "My man, please help me. Cut it diagonally."
"Okay."
Seeing the shop owner nodding, the clerk was also very happy. He changed into a very thin cutter and then gently cut it. With one knife, the white powder immediately sprinkled. This was jade powder, wasted so much, which made people feel distressed.
After a while, a piece of jade was peeled in half. When the clerk stopped the cutting machine, Bao Longtu hurriedly picked up half of the jade to clean and check the appearance.
"Lucky, lucky." After a closer look, Bao Longtu felt a little relieved: "The cracks are not big, not serious."
"I'll just say it." The shop owner also breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to say: "It's normal for such a large piece of jade to have strands and cracks, but it must be just a small flaw and it is impossible to destroy the overall structure of the jade material."
"Well, I blame you for being wrong with the boss." Bao Longtu said casually, then washed the two pieces of jade and wiped the water stains, and then slowly appreciated it.
"See it for me." Fang Yuan took the larger piece of jade material and looked at it. After all, it was just divided and not polished. Therefore, the jade material was somewhat rough, but it could also feel some delicate and delicate fat. Clean white jade could easily emit a pearly and precious brilliance when it was full of light.
After Fang Yuan watched, he suddenly raised the jade material high and then looked through the light. At this moment, the jade material seemed to become translucent, giving people a feeling of clearness and transparency as water.
"Hey, what's going on?" Bao Longtu looked at it and was immediately stunned, because he found that there seemed to be a dim shadow in the translucent jade material.
"What's wrong?" The person next to him hurriedly approached and then understood the reason why Bao Longtu was shocked. When Fang Yuan held up the jade material to watch, there was an egg-sized shadow among the transparent jade material.
This scene seems like a lump of impurities hidden in the clean white jade, which naturally makes people frown, confused and worried. In short, no matter whether the shadow is an impurity or a crack, it will definitely affect the value of the jade material.
"I knew there was something wrong with this crack." Bao Longtu said angrily: "Boss, what else do you have to say?"
"This..." The store owner hesitated. He wanted to defend himself, but in this way, he would definitely lose three big customers, but he would not defend himself. If this matter spreads, it will affect the reputation of the store, which is really embarrassing.
"Bun, don't be anxious." Fang Yuan's eyes were a little happy. After comforting Bao Longtu, he turned around and asked, "Boss, do you have a flashlight here?"
"Flashlight?" The shop owner said in surprise: "What do you want to do with a flashlight?"
"Look at the shadow." Fang Yuan said in a truth, feeling a little excited, but he was still restrained, so he did not express his excitement. Despite this, his request still made some people feel strange.
At the same time, among the few people watching the fun, one of them looked slightly, and then he stood up and said, "Little brother, I have a flashlight..."
While speaking, the man handed the flashlight to Fang Yuan, then squinted his eyes and looked at the jade material, and suddenly asked, "Little brother, do you sell this jade material?"
“Huh?”
In an instant, everyone present became even more strange. Fang Yuan and others just forgot it. They didn’t know the details of this person, but the store owner and several other people watching the fun knew very well that this person was a regular gambling customer and had a lot of experience. They could always cut out jade every once in a while, and they were also well-known in the circle.
It was because of the fact that the shop owner and others had doubts about his behavior of buying jade materials. You should know that this person is only interested in gambling stones, so why did he suddenly buy jade materials?
"Look at what I do?" The man found that he had become the focus and immediately explained: "Didn't you find out? The shape of this piece of jade is similar to... Wolong. I bought it and asked someone to carve it into an ornament. Whether it is to put it at home to appreciate it or to sell it for a small profit, it will not lose money."
"Is that true?" The group of people laughed, and two words were written on their faces, but they didn't believe it!
"I believe it or not." Xunren curled his lips and smiled: "Little brother, your jade material is a bit flawed, but who told me to like it? It's just right to give it to me. The price is easy to negotiate, and it's hard to buy a thousand gold coins. Anyway, it won't make you suffer."
"I'll talk about it later, I'll take a look first." Fang Yuan smiled, and immediately turned on the switch after taking the flashlight, and a beam of light shot out. He adjusted it while making the beam condense into a little, and then shone directly at the shadow in the jade material.
Everyone naturally noticed it, and saw that under the light beam, the originally clear jade material became more transparent, and the shadows in the jade material seemed to be dispersed bit by bit under the strong light.
After a moment, the beam stabilized, and the shadow in the jade material was completely invisible, but instead it was a ball of silver-colored objects looming.
"Hey, what is this?" Bao Longtu opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, but after all, there was a layer of jade, and there was no clue at all.
"Hiss, is this?" In an instant, several people watching the fun looked at each other, with a little clarity in their eyes, and then they all showed their desire to win.
"Little brother, do you sell this piece of jade?" Someone immediately said first: "The things are in line with my eyes, and I also want to buy them and make them into carvings."
"Damn it, grab my lines." The person who asked the price first was very upset.
"Little brother didn't agree to you just now, so it won't hinder our fair competition."
“That’s, that’s…”
Several people were eager to try, which meant a little bit of tit-for-tat.
"Does there be treasures in the shadow?" Bao Longtu was not stupid and thought of this possibility in an instant. Judging from the expressions of several people, this possibility is very high.
"Oh, it's all your fault. You can't get it." Someone shook his head and sighed, which also confirmed Bao Longtu's guess.
"You pig..."
At the same time, several people cursed in their hearts, thinking that this person was purely a pig teammate. Bao Longtu was just a tentative inquiry, and it might not be sure of the quality of the thing. This person actually said it directly, and it was simply a pig's brain.
Of course, no matter how much you scold, the few people know that once the competition starts, the background of things will definitely be exposed, and it is nothing more than the difference between early and late.
"I remembered it, and it seemed that I had heard people say something like this." At this moment, Luo Shui pondered: "It seems to be a very precious treasure, very rare and rare, and can be seen but hard to find..."
