Chapter 395 The largest mutton fat jade seed material in history (4)
Zhu Wen was so generous despite being kind and disrespectful. If He Qing were more polite, it would make people feel a bit hypocritical. [This article comes from]
So He Qing accepted a piece of exquisite mutton-fat jade. He liked it very much, but it was a bit too small. It would have been perfect if it was a large piece of jade. After all, such a small piece of Hetian jade is difficult to carve and make.
Made into jade.
"Brother Qing, let's go take a look." Afterwards, Lin Haitao said with a smile.
"Okay, let's just think of it as going out for fun." He Qing nodded and agreed. He naturally knew what Lin Haitao was talking about. Urumqi is the largest Hetian jade trading market. It took a lot of effort to get there.
Once, of course, I have to take a good stroll. If I'm lucky, maybe
They could come across one or two good stones, but He Qing didn't have much hope in getting mutton-fat jade through stone gambling. After all, there was no rule in gambling with Hetian jade, and they had little experience. Unless they encountered
Very old jade, if it has been collected by someone, then there is some hope.
After discussing it, they were ready to set off, naturally led by their host Zhu Wen. He had been wandering around the surrounding Hotan Jade Market, so naturally he was very familiar with the jade trading situation here.
"Brother Qing, Haitao, let's go to that place." Zhu Wen suggested.
"Where?" He Qing asked.
Zhu Wen replied: "It's the Erdaoqiao market. Haitao must know about it. I wonder if you have heard of it, Brother Qing. There is the largest Hetian jade trading market in the city and it is also a major trading center nationwide.
.”
"Erdaoqiao Market?" He Qing nodded and said, "It sounds familiar, I think I've heard of it."
Lin Haitao chatted: "Brother Qing, that place is very famous. It is a must-see for those who travel here. Not only are there a large number of Hotan jades and rough stones for sale, but there are also various handicrafts and antiques. I miss you.
Would be interested."
He Qing nodded and said: "Sounds good, let's go over and have some fun later."
That kind of place was naturally the place he wanted to go. It also had Hetian jade and antiques, which was exactly what he wanted.
After deciding where to visit, He Qing and Lin Haitao set off. Lin Haitao drove with Zhu Wen in front, while He Qing and Suning drove behind. The convoy rushed there slowly.
The so-called "Erdaoqiao Market".
Erdaoqiao Market is also located on a relatively prosperous road, so it didn't take long for them to drive there.
The car stopped at a nearby parking lot, and He Qing got out of the car.
"Brother Qing, is this place very lively?" Zhu Wen walked up and asked with a smile.
"Well, it's very lively." He Qing nodded, "It should be the most lively place in Urumqi."
"That's right!" Zhu Wen nodded vigorously. "There are many interesting places in this place. There is a Grand Bazaar and a grand theater around it. Especially the commercial complex. There are many handicrafts with ethnic characteristics in the building. There are also
There is the Hotan Jade Museum that I told you before, which contains a piece of top-quality mutton-fat jade seed material worth one billion, which should be the best piece of mutton-fat jade."
"I know." He Qing said happily. "You can feast your eyes on it later."
"Brother Qing, should we go to the Hetian Jade Trading Market or the museum first?" Zhu Wen asked, depending on what the other person wanted.
He Qing said without hesitation: "Let's go to the jade market first, and we will visit the museum later."
You can buy whatever you want in the market. But you can only look at the things in the museum but not buy them, so it’s better to go to the jade market first and familiarize yourself with the environment.
"Well, okay." Zhu Wen naturally had no objection. At that moment, he took He Qing and the others straight to the Kashgar and Tian Jade Trading Center not far away.
There are many pedestrians on the road, including tourists of all colors and clothes. It seems to have attracted many domestic and foreign tourists.
He Qing and the others followed the surging crowd and soon arrived at the Hetian Jade Trading Market.
This is a huge jade trading market. There are many stalls and shops on both sides of the street. However, most of the items sold are finished Hetian jade. As for jade, if it is not a special item, He Qing is generally not very interested. After all, this thing is not difficult to obtain.
, if he really wants it, it doesn’t matter how good it is. As long as he has money, others will naturally give it to him.
While wandering around the market, He Qing discovered that the Hetian jade displayed here did not seem to be as good as he imagined. Many of the jades were of poor texture. Some of them, like mutton-fat jade, looked good at first glance, but if you look closely,
At first glance, it was completely wrong. It was not at the same level as the real mutton-fat white jade that Zhu Wen showed earlier. It was too far away.
"Xiaowen, it seems that the Hetian jade sold here is not all genuine Hetian jade, right? Why do I feel that the quality of some jade is so poor?" He Qing couldn't help but asked Zhu Wen in a low voice.
"Brother Qing, you have such good taste!" Zhu Wen praised, "You are absolutely right. Many of the jade stones here are fake and cannot be counted as Hetian jade at all, at least not in a strict sense.
! But the fact is very helpless. Some jade is obviously not Hetian jade, and the quality is very different, but people can give you an expert’s appraisal certificate to prove that the thing is Hetian jade! Now it is Hetian jade
Similar general soft jade beans are called Hetian jade, which is how the international standard is. In fact, traditional Hetian jade only refers to Xinjiang Hetian jade, which is produced in the Kunlun Mountains and rivers in the narrow strip centered on Hotan.
In addition, green jade, sea jade, and Russian jade do not belong to this variety, but their jade compositions are somewhat similar. The quality of jade such as green jade and sea jade is similar to that of Hotan jade."
He explained it in detail. Although He Qing also knew something about it, it was only now that he finally understood what Hetian jade meant. No wonder some jade of poor quality is also called Hetian jade.
Later, He Qing, under the leadership of Zhu Wen and others, inspected many other Hotan jades, but they were all relatively ordinary items, which made people unmotivated.
But as he was walking, suddenly, a red light rising in front of him made his eyes light up.
Seeing this, he felt excited, and immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the stall that emitted the "treasure light".
He Qing soon noticed that what emitted a relatively strong red light was a piece of antique jade. It was a round dragon and phoenix pendant. The dragon and phoenix were connected end to end, and the carving was lifelike.
The most amazing thing is that the jade has a faint red fluorescence, which is real light.
"It's an ancient blood jade?!" After seeing it clearly, He Qing was secretly shocked and said.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.
