After seeing Yan Kai and the two bodyguards leaving, Zhuang Rui breathed a sigh of relief. With that guy following behind, he couldn't calm down and select the chicken blood stone materials. He was constantly competing with Yan Kai in a battle of wits and courage.
"The Yan family is also worse than the previous generation, and the sons are not as good as the son-in-law..."
Uncle De also shook his head. He did recognize Yan Kai's uncle and knew that none of the sons of the Yan family had much potential. Now they are basically supported by Lan Haibei. However, the two of them have no friendship, they are just acquaintances.
.
"Uncle De, let's not mention him anymore. Let's hurry up and choose a few pieces of materials to make it real..."
Zhuang Rui smiled and shook his head. Although his background was much deeper than that of Yan Kai, Zhuang Rui had never taken the initiative to say that his grandfather was Ouyang Gang in front of others. He always talked about those elders in the family.
People are the most despised.
While they were talking, Zhuang Rui and his party had already reached the middle of the market. The chicken-blood stone trading market was relatively scattered. When they saw an open space, they pulled a rope around it and put stones on it, which turned out to be a stall.
Most of the villagers who went up the mountain to pick up a few stones put their stalls at a better location at the door. However, the chicken blood stone mine owners who really invested in mining had their stalls at the back. This is how strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes.
That's why.
Compared with the lucky villagers, the materials of these chicken blood stone mine owners are relatively more sophisticated. At least they are dug out from the veins. On many stones, you can clearly see chicken blood red lines or other textures.
color.
Really experienced domestic buyers are also concentrated in this area, and the bidding sounds are constantly ringing in everyone's ears.
"Teacher Zhuang, Teacher Ma..."
Just when Zhuang Rui stopped in front of a stall and was about to take a look at the ingredients, he heard a voice saying hello. When he turned around, he saw that it was Mr. Wang Xiaoyi.
"Mr. Wang, are you also looking at stones? How is the market this year?"
Uncle De smiled and greeted Mr. Wang and started chatting smoothly.
"There are fewer and fewer good stones. Alas, it is expected to be even worse next year. Each year will be worse than the last..."
Wang Xiaoyi shook his head. He had two chicken-blood stone mines on the mountain, but the chicken-blood stone produced was not enough for his company to digest. He had to buy a batch of goods at this market every year to meet the demand of the domestic market.
"Hey, Teacher Zhuang, you didn't deliver the goods today?"
Wang Xiaoyi saw that except for Yang Wei who had two stones in the basket in his hand, the other people had nothing in their hands. He couldn't help but asked strangely. "Shanghuo" is a jargon in the antique industry, which means to buy.
As soon as Wang Xiaoyi entered the market at noon, he went straight to these large-scale soapstone stalls, so he didn't know about the dispute between Zhuang Rui and Yan Kai at the door.
"Mr. Wang is too polite, just call me Xiaozhuang. I just encountered a troublemaker, and then I started to look at the rocks..."
Zhuang Rui explained with a wry smile, these days, if you don't come to you for everything, there are always some people who think they feel good and wish the whole world revolved around them.
"Haha, let's take a look together. The chicken blood stone in this stall belongs to the largest mine owner in Yuyan Mountain..."
Wang Xiaoyi smiled, and after saying hello to Yang Wei and others, he walked into the chicken blood stone area and continued to inspect the stones.
There are two types of people who mine in Yuyan Mountain. One is people like Wang Xiaoyi, who use most of the stones they quarry for their own use, while the other is those who don’t understand the stone and sell it directly after mining it. This family obviously belongs to the latter group.
of.
This stall occupies a large area, covering more than a hundred square meters. From hundreds of kilograms of large rocks to several kilograms of fist-sized materials, they are neatly arranged in order of size.
Twenty or thirty jade merchants from all over the country were selecting woolen materials. As soon as Zhuang Rui entered the woolen materials area, several people greeted him. At first glance, they looked familiar. They had seen them in Pingzhou.
.
Although soapstone is called "post-printing", the ornaments made of large pieces of soapstone are also very high-end handicrafts. Many jade shops sell soapstone ornaments. I came here here, and many of them are from various domestic jewelry companies.
's boss.
"Xuan Bing, you and Weiwei and the others can chat outside. You don't need to follow me. We will go back after a while..."
Zhuang Rui looked at his watch. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. He had been delayed for several hours by Yan Kai. If the soapstone trade hadn't lasted for several days, Zhuang Rui would have even considered strangling Yan Kai to death.
"It's okay, I'll just stay with you..."
Qin Xuanbing smiled faintly. She liked to see the confident look in her man's eyes when he was observing and choosing stones.
After hearing Qin Xuanbing's words, Zhuang Rui didn't say anything more and started to look along the outermost large stones.
This trade fair is not that formal. If you put small stones outside, some villagers might take advantage of them. This kind of thing has happened before, so these stall owners all put small stones on their own.
Around.
You know, bloodstone and jadeite are the same, and the price is not calculated based on size. Just like the piece of "Dahongpao" material that Zhuang Rui got through the leak detection yesterday, although it is only the size of a lighter, it is worth millions.
Above.
"Teacher Zhuang, what do you think of this piece of material?"
As soon as Zhuang Rui walked to a larger chicken blood stone, he was greeted by Mr. Wang.
This is a rectangular stone, about one meter long and eighty centimeters wide. The stone surface is very irregular and uneven in some places. Zhuang Rui estimates that this piece of material should weigh about four to five hundred kilograms.
On the top of the wool, a palm-sized piece of chicken blood with broken lines in the middle is very conspicuously exposed, and there are bloodshot holes every ten centimeters or so. At first glance, it is easy to see
You will believe that there is definitely some chicken blood in this big stone.
"Haha, let's take a look. What does Mr. Wang think of this piece of material?"
Zhuang Rui did not use his spiritual energy, but carefully looked at the distribution of the chicken blood on the stone surface, and whether the blood had seeped into the bottom of the stone. From the surface, this should be a good piece of material, and he could bet on it.
After Wang Xiaoyi heard Zhuang Rui's words, he looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them. Then he whispered: "The performance is so good. I feel a bit like a fake. Teacher Zhuang, please give me some advice."
Palm eyes..."
"What? Then I'll take a closer look..."
Zhuang Rui was startled by Mr. Wang's words. He knew that the bloodstone was fake, but he had never seen it before.
After receiving the bright flashlight and magnifying glass from Mr. Wang, Zhuang Rui squatted down facing the big stone.
To outsiders, Zhuang Rui's actions at this time were quite normal. He was using a magnifying glass to observe the direction of the chicken blood patterns on the stone. However, they did not know that as soon as Zhuang Rui squatted down, he released the spiritual energy in his eyes and penetrated directly into the interior of the stone.
.
"Isn't it a lie?"
Zhuang Rui's aura can be seen from the piece of chicken blood the size of a palm. When his eyes first came into contact with the red chicken blood, he felt a faint aura inside, which was similar to the aura contained in jade. This indicated that the piece of chicken blood was red.
The blood redness is real.
But when I continue to look down, this piece of chicken blood red has penetrated into the stone very shallowly, only about one centimeter. There are some ordinary ground stones underneath. In other words, although this piece of material weighs hundreds of kilograms, it is nothing more than chicken blood stone.
That's all.
Moreover, the palm-sized chicken blood red is not pure enough, and its quality is damaged by broken lines. It can only be regarded as a mid-range material at best. Even if it is made into a few seals or ornaments, it will only be worth 70,000 to 80,000 yuan at most.
"No, damn, it's really fake..."
The more Zhuang Rui looked at it, the more strange he felt. Those red thin lines did not have a trace of aura, and there was a layer of grease. After Zhuang Rui carefully distinguished it, he was 100% sure that this piece of material had indeed been processed.
Zhuang Rui once learned from Uncle De how to identify genuine and fake chicken bloodstones. He knew that there are generally four methods for counterfeiting chicken bloodstones. The first is the mosaic method, which is to select a few eye-catching places on the surface of the stone and dig out one of them.
A small pit of different depths is then embedded with red mercury sulfide paint. After it dries naturally, it is then polished and waxed.
However, this embedded mercury sulfide has no layers. At the same time, the intersection of blood and Changshi stone has a blunt color and no transition.
Then there is the dipping method, which is more complicated. It involves applying mercury sulfide on the areas where the stone is needed, drying it in the shade, then applying it again, drying it again in the shade to make the blood slightly layered, and then dipping it in transparent resin to ensure that the whole body is soaked.
, pick it up and dry it, then polish it with fine water and sand.
The fake bloodstone made in this way is easy to age because the resin ages, and the skin will turn yellow over time, which is inconsistent with the color of the stone inside. At the same time, the pores on the resin skin are relatively thick. If you observe carefully with a magnifying glass, you will see that the surface is a little tiny.
Wipe your eyes.
The third method of slicing and pasting is only applicable to soapstone seal materials and is not very commonly used, so I won’t go into detail here.
The last method of forgery is called the filling method, which is to add mercury sulfide to the real chicken bloodstone, cover the added part with a very thin layer of resin, and then polish it.
This method is to add blood on top of blood, which is undoubtedly the icing on the cake and greatly increases the value. At the same time, there are fakes among the true, and the false is true. Therefore, for particularly good bloodstones, you must pay attention to and think of the forger's methods when observing.
Avoid the consequences of "losing Jingzhou carelessly".
The chicken blood stone in front of Zhuang Rui is a combination of inlay and filling methods. On the real chicken blood stone, some lines are drawn with tools and then coated with mercury sulfide. This is the origin of those blood streaks.
Zhuang Rui stood up and shook his head slightly. The Chinese people are really using all possible means to make fake things.
