Mr. Wang, who had been standing by the side, saw Zhuang Rui getting up and quickly came closer and asked.
"Haha, Qicai'er is good, but her appearance is a bit off..."
When Zhuang Rui saw someone next to him, he cryptically said something about antiques. "Qicai'er" means that the appearance of the collection is very good, but the appearance is a bit poor, which means that the stone is not refined enough. Mr. Wang should naturally understand the meaning.
.
"Oh, people these days..."
Wang Xiaoyi shook his head and angrily took the bright flashlight and magnifying glass that Zhuang Rui returned. After saying hello to Zhuang Rui, he walked out without even looking at the remaining stones.
Zhuang Rui didn't care and continued reading. No matter how real these bloodstones are, they are still fake. Let's not talk about foreign ones, because Zhuang Rui has seen very few. As far as Chinese antique jade is concerned, it is hard to fool Zhuang.
Rui's eyes, that's out of the question, at least it hasn't happened yet.
Because even if you imitate this antique jade, you can't imitate its age and carving time. However, Zhuang Rui is an unconventional guy in appraising jade antiques.
However, after looking at more than 10 pieces of aniseed with good performance, Zhuang Rui also became a little bored. For no other reason, the owner of this stall actually added fillers to all the materials that had chicken blood on the outside.
It looked good on the outside, but it was really gold and jade, which made Zhuang Rui shake his head repeatedly.
The stalls set up by these chicken-blood stone mine owners were slightly different from the chicken-blood stones sold by the villagers. The villagers thought the stones looked good, so they brought them here to display them. In fact, many of them were just ordinary ground stones, and there were no
What value.
However, most of the stones sold by the owners of these chicken blood stone mines are made of chicken blood, but nine out of ten of them have been processed by the mine owners. They can have chicken blood red or other colors, as long as they perform well.
All the materials were tampered with by the unscrupulous businessman.
Looking along the way, Zhuang Rui gradually walked past the large materials. Most of the materials in front of him were small stones ranging from seven to eight kilograms to twenty or thirty kilograms.
There are also the most people around here, because the material performs well and the price is naturally high. It is better to choose some better chicken blood stone materials among the small materials.
Just after looking at the small stone area for a while, Zhuang Rui's expression became a little strange.
"Fuck, do you really think you are a master of fakery?"
Zhuang Rui cursed angrily in his heart, this guy has gone a little too far. As long as the fabric with a little bit of color was produced, it was artificially colored by him. This is not dyeing.
It is estimated that the mine owner's family is about to run a dyeing workshop, because in these fake stones, not only chicken blood red, but also yellow, blue, purple, black and other colors can be seen.
"Xuan Bing, Uncle De, let's go, it's getting late, let's go back to eat first..."
Zhuang Rui was so angry that he stopped looking. In addition, the sun above his head was about to set, and the light in the greenhouse paved with glazed tiles was gradually dimming. Anyway, the bloodstone transaction would last for a few days, so Zhuang Rui was not in a hurry.
"Okay, let's come over early tomorrow. Anyway, you're just making up for the bloodstone, so you don't need to be too particular about the grade. Alas, the grade now..."
With Uncle De's eyesight, he could certainly see some clues. Now these antiques or jade counterfeiting has developed from fake products to raw materials, making it even more difficult to guard against.
"Uncle Wang, your skills are enough to make you a chef in a star-rated hotel..."
After returning to Lao Wangtou's house for dinner, Zhuang Rui and others were full of praise for today's dishes. Not to mention the pheasant, wild boar and other meats, it was the stir-fried cabbage with Hericium mushrooms that impressed Zhuang.
People like Rui who have never lived in rural areas have a huge appetite.
"Haha, just like it, just like it. Brother Zhuang, I want to thank you today. By the way, from now on, as long as you guys come to my place, you will get free food and accommodation..."
Old Wangtou still has that honest smile on his face, but now his net worth has skyrocketed. Although in the past, some people dug up chicken blood stones in Yuyan Mountain Village and sold them for hundreds of thousands, but a stone
With 600,000 RMB, Lao Wangtou deservedly set a new record in the village.
The market was at the entrance of the village, and there were many people from the village at that time. Within 10 minutes, the whole village was buzzing with excitement. There was an endless stream of people from the village coming to congratulate them all afternoon. Lao Wangtou promised to wait for the transaction
After the meeting, a flowing banquet was held for three consecutive days before everyone was allowed to disperse.
"Hey, Uncle Wang, if someone gives you money, just accept it. You don't have to thank me. This accommodation money is accommodation money. It's two different things. We still have to pay it..."
Zhuang Rui couldn't help but smile when he heard Lao Wangtou mention this. Yan Kai was so loud before. Zhuang Rui thought he was rich, but he didn't expect that he only bought four or five stones and was sold to Lao Cao.
He was dragged away, and in the end it only cost six to seven hundred thousand, which made Zhuang Rui feel that it was not enough.
If he went directly to the fake woolen area, Zhuang Rui would definitely ask him to shell out several million, and the meat buns would never come back, but even if Yan Kai spent six to seven hundred thousand to buy it
I'm afraid that the stone will only be worth ten or twenty thousand after being untied. Zhuang Rui really wanted to see the angry look on that kid's face.
In fact, Zhuang Rui didn't know that Yan Kai didn't care at all whether there was any bloodstone in the stone. He just wanted to make Zhuang Rui sick. However, because he was short of money and Lao Cao refused to give him money, Yan Kai was not very happy after returning.
, I am currently holding back my bad thoughts and trying to think of a solution.
"I can't do it, I can't do it, Teacher Ma, Brother Zhuang, if this old man accepts your money, he will be stabbed in the spine..."
Lao Wangtou's old face was beaming with joy. After he finished speaking, he quickly returned to the house to get the pickled plums from last year and gave them to Zhuang Rui and others to try.
After a while, Wang Xiaoyi and others who came back later joined in after finishing their meal. They talked with Zhuang Rui and Uncle De about antiques and things in the jade business. Laughter could be heard from time to time in the small courtyard.
.
When he got up early the next morning, Zhuang Rui did not rush to the market. Instead, he, Qin Xuanbing and Yang Wei took a walk along the mountain road. The place where chicken blood stone is produced in Yuyan Mountain was far away from the foot of the mountain. This area was not affected.
to man-made destruction.
In the morning, Yuyan Mountain is quiet and beautiful. Spring has arrived. The unknown flowers are emitting bursts of fragrance. The clear springs of the mountain streams can be seen clearly. Some small fish that are several inches long are swimming in the water.
A few people became childlike, took off their watches and rolled up their trousers, completely forgetting the purpose of their visit, and caught fish in the mountains. They did not return to Lao Wangtou's home until almost noon.
Uncle De naturally didn't care. Anyway, he came with Zhuang Rui this time. After waiting for Zhuang Rui and the others to rest for a while and arrive at the market, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
The villager who rented stone-cutting tools at the entrance of the market has obviously done much better business today. Because some chicken blood stones are too large and have gambling properties, many merchants want to cut them and take them away. From morning to now,
The stone cutting machine never stopped, and the villagers kept grinning and laughing.
Zhuang Rui did not stop at the door. He entered the market directly and walked deep into the chicken-blood stone trading area. It cannot be said that the chicken-blood stones from the villagers outside were not completely free of good materials, but they were definitely washed away by the waves. There was only one in a million. Zhuang Rui did not have the patience.
Pick them piece by piece.
After passing the counterfeit stall yesterday, Zhuang Rui entered a stall marked with the "Sanyuan" company sign and took a look. This stall also had large and small stones, but the performance of the stones was worse than the one next to it.
a lot of.
Of course, under Zhuang Rui's observation, this is the reason why the stall owner did not cheat, otherwise it would definitely look like a flowery place.
Uncle De and Zhuang Rui split into two directions and started looking in the stone area. The Soapstone Fair was about to end in two days. Zhuang Rui had no intention of learning the appreciation of Soapstone here, so he simply used his spiritual energy to explore.
.
However, after thousands of years of excavation, the old pits of chicken blood stone have long been exhausted. The current materials are all mined from new mines. Zhuang Rui looked at them for a long time and was not satisfied, because some materials even had a bleeding rate of 30%.
None. Zhuang Rui, who has always had a high vision, naturally couldn't see it anymore.
Just when Zhuang Rui was about to leave the stall, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a stone with a slightly black surface.
This stone is not big, only about the size of a fist, and its surface looks a bit rough. However, when Zhuang Rui accidentally observed it with his spiritual energy, he found that there was a weak spiritual energy reaction even on the stone skin.
"Phoenix stone on a black background?"
The spiritual energy in Zhuang Rui's eyes continued to seep in, and suddenly, a white luster appeared in front of his eyes. Different from the milky white of Hetian jade, this white was light and slightly transparent, giving people a moist feeling.
Zhuang Rui thought secretly in his heart: "Even if the double-color Chang fossil does not produce red, it can still be carved into an ornament..."
But as soon as Zhuang Rui had this idea, his eyes suddenly changed, and the red color he had just thought of appeared in his sight, and this red color was like the first coagulation of chicken blood, bright red, and the best chicken blood red.
"This...this, could it be Liu Guanzhang?"
Zhuang Rui looked at the three colors of black, white, and red inside the stone skin, and his mind was a little exhausted for a moment. He was lamenting the scarcity of top-quality soapstone just now, but this surprise came unexpectedly.
The three colors in this stone are evenly distributed and blended together extremely skillfully. They form a natural and beautiful pattern without the need for artificial carving.
As shown in Peking Opera facial makeup: Zhang Fei with a black face, Liu Bei with a white face, and Guan Erye with a red face.
Three colors of different shades, coupled with human imagination and exquisite craftsmanship, only need a little carving to outline the three characters of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
