Zhang Wei looked at the familiar street in front of him and couldn't help but nodded along. Almost any merchant in this street would be better than his Jade Pavilion. This is the real jade holy land.
Walking into this Jade Street, everyone feels a fresh feeling. Every shop has its door wide open. No matter which way you look, the first thing that catches your eye is the emerald green, even though Guangzhou is now considered
In midsummer, Li Yang and the others didn't feel any warmth.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Wei suddenly stopped and looked up at a sign.
Li Yang also looked up, and then Li Yang froze there. Liu Gang and Wu Xiaoli had similar expressions, and the others were not surprised.
"Jade Pavilion"
There is actually a Cuiyu Xuan here, which has the same name as Zhang Wei's store, and the specifications inside are similar to Zhang Wei's Cuiyu Xuan. The two stores are like twins.
"Lao Zhang's shop was not called Cuiyuxuan before. It used to be Baoyu Pavilion, and the business was very average. Later, after I came to Pingzhou and saw this shop, I changed the name of the shop and renovated it again. After that, the business was good.
many!"
Sima Lin saw Li Yang's doubts, walked to Li Yang and explained in a low voice. Li Yang nodded immediately. Cuiyuxuan really had something to do with Zhang Wei. It was just a clone of Zhang Wei, not someone who had stolen it.
Zhang Wei’s model.
"The boss of Cuiyuxuan is also named Zhang, shall we go in and take a look?"
Zhang Wei suddenly turned around and said, Sima Lin's voice was not loud, but several people stood together, Zhang Wei naturally heard it. Zhang Wei didn't care about Sima Lin's explanation, even if Sima Lin didn't say it, he would know it himself
Explain to Li Yang that his Cuiyu Xuan was indeed learned from here, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.
This Cuiyuxuan shop looks bigger than Zhang Wei's, and there is a back door at the back, but I don't know if there are also stone dissolving machines in the back.
As soon as the eight people entered, a waiter came forward to greet them. The Pingzhou Grand Opening was about to take place. Recently, many jade players from all over the country had come to Pingzhou, and their business on the Jade Street was better than usual.
"Boss Zhang, when did you arrive?"
A slightly fat middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the counter, greeted Zhang Wei enthusiastically, and kept looking at the people behind Zhang Wei.
"Mr. Sima, Boss Zheng, Boss Wang, Mr. Gu, you are all here!"
Immediately, the fat middle-aged man seemed to be very surprised. He greeted the people in front of him one by one. Every time he stepped forward to shake hands with someone, he seemed to be happy from the bottom of his heart. This alone was not a surprise.
Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin can learn from it.
"Quick, quick, quick, come and sit inside!"
After saying hello, the fat middle-aged man led them inside. Zhang Wei and the others followed them in without being polite.
There is indeed a yard behind Cuiyu Xuan, and there is actually a stone dissolving machine. Li Yang looked a little weird when he saw the location of the stone dissolving machine. Zhang Wei's Cuiyu Xuan not only has a store like this, but even the backyard is similar.
The only difference is that there is a living room in the backyard here, which Zhang Wei does not have.
Entering the living room, the fat middle-aged man personally made tea for everyone, and then sat there enthusiastically. However, he did not greet the three Li Yang people. He probably regarded the three young people Li Yang as
This happened more than once.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you!"
Zhang Wei coughed lightly. The fat middle-aged people ignored Li Yang. They did not dare to ignore it. Among this group of people, the most famous and famous one is Li Yang.
"Mr. Zhang, no introduction is needed. You guys talk first. I want to go out and take a look first!"
Li Yang suddenly stood up. Zhang Wei and the others looked at Li Yang in surprise. Li Yang had never been like this before.
"Don't reveal my identity yet!"
Before going out, Li Yang whispered to Zhang Wei, then said hello to the fat middle-aged man, and left politely.
Li Yang didn't blame the fat middle-aged man for looking down on him, but he didn't want Zhang Wei to expose his identity. In the past, Li Yang might have naturally waited for Zhang Wei to introduce himself, and then waited.
However, after his mentality changed, Li Yang no longer had any interest in these false courtesy, so it was better to keep a low profile.
What's more, they are all old friends who know each other. It would be good for them to reminisce about the past together. Li Yang just took this opportunity to go out and see more. The jade carvers in Jade Street are very famous. It would be a waste not to study at this time.
.
"Who is this little brother?"
The fat middle-aged man watched Li Yang leave in surprise. He could feel that Zhang Wei's attitude towards this young man seemed a little unusual.
"He, he is Mr. Sima's younger brother!"
Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, and finally helped Li Yang hide his identity. He didn't know why Li Yang did this, but since Li Yang made this request, he did it to avoid causing trouble to Li Yang.
There were a lot more jades displayed in the store outside than Zhang Wei's. Two of the counters were filled with various bracelets. Li Yang took a look and found that most of them were made of raw materials such as oil green or green water, and the prices were generally about 10%.
It’s not too expensive, just a few hundred dollars a pair.
"Sir, what do you want to see?"
A young man in his twenties came over and greeted Li Yang. Li Yang and the others who came with him had all entered the living room inside. He must be a friend of the boss, so naturally the waiter did not dare to neglect him.
"Brother Li, why are they still selling sweet potatoes? The sweet potatoes seem to be moldy!"
Liu Gang, who was following Li Yang, suddenly said something and pointed in the distance with his finger. Both Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli looked at his finger and stayed there for the next moment.
The young waiter suppressed a smile and shook his head gently, with a hint of pride on his face. The sweet potatoes Liu Gang mentioned were a great treasure in their store.
After watching for a while, Li Yang suddenly shook his head and walked towards the place where the sweet potatoes were placed.
"This is not a real sweet potato, this is a jade carving, but it looks too similar!"
As he spoke, Li Yang came closer. Although he was across the counter, Li Yang could already clearly see the two emerald sweet potatoes placed inside. The two sweet potatoes were connected together with cracks, revealing the green ones inside.
Jadeite, that is, these jadeites were regarded as moldy places by Liu Gang.
"No way, this is jade?"
Liu Gang opened his mouth wide, with an unusually exaggerated expression. He knew that jade jewelry was very exquisite, but in Liu Gang's impression, most of the jadeite was green, and he had also seen red and yellow ones, but this sweet potato-like jadeite was the first
Met once.
"This is jade, but it is jade without the skin cut off. The color of the skin and the jade inside are used to carve the sweet potato. The carving is very exquisite and lifelike. It is very rare!"
Li Yang sighed softly, now the things that Li Yang can praise the carvers must be good things. Ordinary carvers can no longer catch Li Yang's eyes.
"It's really jade. It's really amazing that jade can be made like this!"
Liu Gang looked at it carefully for a while, and finally determined that the piece of jade he thought was a "moldy sweet potato" was actually a piece of jade. For the first time, Liu Gang marveled at the carving of the jade carving.
"There are actually more magical jadeite, such as the famous jadeite roast duck, and the jadeite cabbage in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan. They are all just like the real ones, especially the jadeite cabbage. If you don't get it, everyone will be shocked when they see it.
I thought it was just a cabbage!”
Wu Xiaoli followed and Li Yang nodded in agreement, but it was a pity that Li Yang had never seen the emerald cabbage and emerald roast duck with his own eyes.
"Can you bring this jade sweet potato over and let us take a look!"
Li Yang pointed to the inside of the counter and said to the waiter, "Li Yang really likes this jade sweet potato. Such carvings are considered high-quality products anywhere."
The waiter hesitated for a moment, but finally walked inside and brought the things to the counter. Although the man in front of him was young, he came with the boss's guests, so it was best to try to meet his requirements.
"It turns out that the flowers are embossed under the flowers. They are pressed well and accurately. No wonder they are so real!"
After looking at it for a while, Li Yang kept nodding and praising him. Li Yang had seen many good carvers, whether it was Zhou Ye who made high-quality imitations or real Zigang jade. Li Yang had seen them all. The sweet potato in front of him.
Although the carving is not as good as these two, it still has its own unique characteristics. In terms of carving alone, it is definitely a master.
"It turns out you are an expert!"
The young waiter glanced at Li Yang in surprise. Under-flower embossing is a technique of jade carving. The jade can be skillfully made with fine patterns as the background to set off the semi-relief on the surface. This technique is extraordinary.
Humans can do it.
"I can't speak to experts, I've just seen a few of them!"
Li Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He only recently learned about the technology of jade carving. He didn't pay much attention to this aspect before. He only started to study and study it after his mentality changed. Whether it is jade or other antiques, Li Yang now feels that every kind of
They are both profound and profound. In the past, he could be said to have only a superficial understanding, or even a superficial understanding.
After looking carefully for a few times, Li Yang nodded again and said: "The embossing under the flower is originally a hollowing technique used in openwork carving. This master can skillfully apply this technique to this jade sweet potato. It is worthy of recognition."
It has a little eye-catching effect. Without the crease feeling caused by the embossing under the flowers, I am afraid that this jade sweet potato would not have the same effect as the real one!"
"That's well said. The young man may not look big, but he knows a lot!"
An old voice suddenly came over. Li Yang and Liu Gang turned their heads hurriedly. At some point, an old man with white hair and a white beard stood in the hall. He was looking at them with a smile, and kept stroking his right hand.
White beard.
Liu Gang moved his steps very vigilantly and stood in the best position for defense and attack. This old man looked very old, but it gave him a dangerous feeling. If someone approached him normally, he would definitely
It could be discovered that the old man was already less than three meters away from them, but Liu Gang didn't notice it at all, which made Liu Gang surprised and at the same time more cautious.
