Chen Ran originally planned to go to other places to have a look, but when he came out, the yard opposite attracted his attention. When he came, he parked the car on the roadside of Boss Wang's place without paying attention.
Only now did I discover that the yard diagonally across from Mr. Wang’s shop was not a wool processing factory, but a stone carving workshop.
If it were just an ordinary stone carving workshop, it would naturally not attract Chen Ran's attention. The reason why it attracted Chen Ran's attention was because just at the moment when he looked across the way, the stone carvings at the door of the stone carvings were
He had an indescribable feeling, as if when he looked across the way, the stone sculptures at the door opposite suddenly looked towards him, causing him to unconsciously look into the eyes of the stone sculptures.
The light in the stone carving workshop opposite is a yellow light that looks like a street lamp. When you look over it, against the dim light, the eyes of several stone carvings are glowing with a faint light.
Seeing this scene, although Chen Ran was surprised, he was not too surprised because there was nothing unusual about it, it was just a lighting design.
Chen Ran has better eyesight. Although they are far apart, he can clearly see the stone sculptures. The shapes of these stone sculptures are not like lions, unicorns, or monsters. They are just
Very ordinary cats, dogs and wild boars, but these cats, dogs and wild boars gave him a different feeling from those in reality. They seemed to be deified cats and dogs, which was why he felt weird.
As a jade carver, Chen Ran naturally has a keen eye for stone carvings. It can be seen that although these stone carvings are only rough carvings, they are definitely made by masters. Out of curiosity, he walked over.
Compared with other wool processing factories, this yard is much smaller. It is a two-story "L" shaped house, only eighty or ninety square meters, but surrounding the house is a large yard.
The courtyard wall is very high and is covered with roses.
When he arrived at the door of the stone carvings, Chen Ran stopped and looked at the stone carvings placed at the door. These stone carvings were all rough carvings. The rough carvings were just a piece of stone that was carved casually twice, and only a certain part was carved.
However, these two random carvings have the finishing touch, making the entire stone sculpture look very expressive.
Seeing Chen Ran looking at several stone sculptures at the door, a young round-faced girl walked out of the yard. The round-faced girl walked out and ignored Chen Ran. She glanced at Chen Ran and leaned against the door frame.
He lowered his head and started playing with his mobile phone.
Chen Ran looked at the stone sculptures at the door, secretly praised them, glanced at the round-faced girl, and walked into the yard.
The yard does not look like a processing factory at all, but rather like a place where people live. On the left side of the yard is a shark that has not yet been carved into shape, as well as hand chisels, stone hammers, repair knives and other utensils. This shark
Although it has not yet been fully formed, it already looks alive, as if it had just emerged from the water. To the left of the shark, there is a bluestone more than two meters high, and the bluestone is not yet fully formed.
Opening the carving, there are several stone locks placed by a corner of the yard. Next to the stone locks are several stone grinders of different sizes. The small one seems to weigh hundreds of kilograms, and the big one probably weighs several thousand kilograms. Apart from these two
In addition to the things, there are more than ten stone figures beside the stone mill. The faces of those stone figures are very rough. It can be seen that the purpose of carving them is obviously not for aesthetic needs. Those stone figures
Each of them posed in a different pose. Some of the stone figures were holding weapons such as knives or daggers in their hands, while others were bare-handed. On the left side of the door, there was a shed like a pigsty and stable.
In the middle of the yard, there is a shelf supported by vines, just like a pavilion. As for the right side, it is paved with cobblestones, densely packed, forming paths. In addition to the paths, there are many plants planted in the rest of the open space.
Lots of greenery.
It can be seen that the owner of this stone carving workshop enjoys life very much. The owner should be an old man who is enjoying his old age.
"Little girl, how do you sell the stone carvings here?" Chen Ran came to this stone carving workshop naturally not to see the scenery. After taking a look, he went directly to the left side of the yard and looked around the stone carvings in the yard.
After looking around, I came back to the door and asked.
Chen Ran had never seen stone carvings before, but the stone carvings he saw here gave him an indescribable feeling, as if there was something extra. He didn't want to buy a few stone carvings.
I went back simply because I wanted to visit the master sculptor of this stone carving workshop.
"Who are you calling girl?"
The round-faced girl was obviously not convinced that Chen Ran called her little girl. She raised her head and gave Chen Ran an annoyed look.
Chen Ran touched his nose but said nothing. The friends he contacted, such as Zhu Feng, He Zhenhua, Bai Lao, and Ma Lao, were all older, and their mentality was a bit old without knowing it, let alone the little girl in front of him.
, even people of his own age feel like children in his eyes.
The round-faced girl rolled her eyes at Chen Ran and was about to say something, but before she could say anything, a donkey brayed suddenly came from the stable next to her, which startled Chen Ran.
He turned around and looked over.
There is a stable on the left side of the entrance to the yard. Chen Ran was just looking at the stone carvings, but he didn't pay attention to what was kept in the stable. Only then did he realize that it was a small donkey.
"What are you barking at? Be honest." The round-faced girl glared at the little donkey who stuck his head out, then took a ladle and scooped up a ladle of water from the nearby water tank and poured it into a naked man next to the stable.
In the stone trough.
The little donkey brayed happily at the round-faced girl twice, then lowered its head and lay down in the stone trough to drink water.
Chen Ran was also watching this scene, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He was just startled when he saw the stone trough where the little donkey was drinking water.
After being startled, Chen Ran muttered to himself. Tengchong is indeed the largest wool market in the country. Stone gambling has penetrated into every household. You can see the existence of jadeite stones casually, just like this stone trough in front of you.
.
There are naturally differences between wool and ordinary stones, especially cut wool. The cut surface can be seen at a glance. The stone trough in front of you is just a piece of wool, but it is the kind that has been cut but collapsed.
The remaining wool.
Seeing that the round-faced girl was busy adding ingredients to the little donkey without even paying attention to him as a customer, Chen Ran simply released the energy aperture to detect the stone trough.
As soon as the energy aperture penetrated into the stone groove, several pieces of buttery color suddenly appeared in Chen Ran's mind. This color suddenly stunned him. What is this?
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Ran immediately released an energy aperture to detect it.
But when the energy aperture entered the stone trough, it encountered a layer of white cotton. After the white cotton, a red mist appeared. When the red mist dissipated, a few pieces of buttery stuff suddenly appeared, just like the belly of a chicken.
The color is the same, the yellow is light but not strong, looks extremely pure, gives people a noble and compelling temperament, and is more dazzling than the bright yellow gold.
Seeing these pieces of buttery jade meat, Chen Ran's heart suddenly beat violently twice, and the term "chicken butter yellow" naturally came to his mind.
This stone trough actually contained chicken fat yellow jade, and Chen Ran was almost stunned.
Although Chen Ran has not been playing with jade for a long time, he has come into contact with a lot of jade. Not to mention before this, he only said that he has seen a lot of jade during the two days of non-stop detection of wool in Tengchong. Even the old man has seen a lot of jade.
I have seen jadeite grown in glass, but when I saw a few pieces of buttery jadeite in front of me, I couldn't help but be attracted to it. Gold looks golden, right? But the jadeite flesh in front of me is even more dazzling than gold.
, in the history of China, yellow was admired in ancient times, and yellow was often regarded as a symbol of imperial power. The yellow in front of you is the purest yellow, which gives people a noble and compelling feeling.
Chen Ran never expected that this piece of wool that was used as a manger actually contained a piece of top-quality jade chicken fat. This piece of wool was obviously a piece of scrap that had been cut. The scrap here was different from the leftovers, which had already been cut.
, but the waste material was cut by someone but the remaining wool was broken, that is, it was cut in half but not finished.
Suppressing the surprise and excitement in his heart, Chen Ran quickly released the energy aperture and continued to detect downwards. Fortunately for him, there was no more white cotton. The jade quality of the jade meat was also very delicate and the water head was better. It was
The water head in Huang Fei is the best.
After the detection was completed, Chen Ran's nervousness turned into ecstasy.
Jadeite, jadeite is also yellow jadeite, and jadeite is green jadeite. As the name suggests, yellow jadeite is more common than green jadeite. Unfortunately, there are not many yellow jadeites with good water quality. Most of them are ordinary jadeite, which is far more common than green jadeite.
It’s not as good as green jade, so the price is naturally not as good as green jade. Yellow jade is usually made into small pendants, that is, earrings and other jewelry. This is just general, and rare ones like chicken fat yellow are
The best jade is naturally different, and its price is not inferior to the best jade from Laokeng glass.
The stone trough in front of me contains several pieces of chicken-yellow jadeite.
Finally, he found a piece of wool containing Laokeng glass jade, but it was snatched away by Wu Laosan. Chen Ran would be lying if he said he had no regrets. If he was given another chance, he would say nothing.
If Zhao Guosheng showed him the raw material again, he would never let Wu Laosan snatch it away again.
And now there is undoubtedly another opportunity in front of him.
Such a good jade cannot fall into the hands of others.
Chen Ran looked at it for a while, then calmly withdrew his gaze. Seeing that the round-faced girl was still busy, he didn't wait for the round-faced girl, and casually started looking at the stone sculptures in the yard again.
