Rough stones like this are usually valued per car. If you encounter a good jade, you will be lucky. If you miss it, you will have to admit that you are unlucky. But no matter how you calculate it, the boss will not lose money.
. After they get the stone back, they will subdivide it according to the three, six, nine and other grades.
Now these two guys took Tang Wanwan and the others to see the divided stones. The best stone cost 500 taels. Tang Wanwan simply refused to look at it because it was unnecessary. This was too much of a gamble. She only wanted to see it.
If you look at the mediocre ones, sometimes if you look at the inferior ones, you can still miss something.
The few of them walked through a long corridor. The view in the corridor was a little dark. Jin Mao held Tang Wanwan's clothes tightly with his hands, for fear that something would happen suddenly. Tang Xiaoyi also held his sister's hand. His eyes were wide open.
Looked around very vigilantly.
After a while, there is a large and open yard at the end of the corridor. The yard is surrounded by different varieties of plants, which looks quite novel. There is a very big welcoming pine, and two cypress trees with leaves.
They were all gone, and the tree was covered with leaves.
There are several piles of stones piled up in the middle of the yard. The tallest one is as wide as a round table and as tall as half a person. Only big customers would look at such big stones, and they probably wouldn't be able to eat them if they didn't have a thousand taels.
It takes several masters to open stones for several days. Generally, they dare not do it if they are not sure. But if you make a profit, your family will be rich for a lifetime. If you lose, there will be another person in the world who will become poor overnight.
of pauper.
"Ms. Tang, do you think we should look at which one first?"
Tang Wanwan looked at Wang Yiyi and said, "Let's take a look at it first. If you like the one you like, pick it first."
"Ah, that's it?" Wang Yiyi was immediately shocked. She thought Tang Wanwan had some secret to finding treasures. She just took it if she liked it. How to do this.
"You two ladies, you can actually tell by the appearance of the jade. There are patterns inside, or the ones in better condition, most of them contain good stuff." Another clerk came to remind them kindly.
Wang Yiyi couldn't help but said shyly: "Thank you!"
Tang Wanwan motioned to Wang Yiyi to pick whatever she wanted. Wang Yiyi seemed a little confused. She looked at several piles of stones for a long time, and finally chose the medium-priced pile. The larger ones were 100 taels a piece, and there were also 200 taels.
There are also five or sixty taels, the lowest is twenty taels per piece.
The ones on the far side are junk goods, which are similar to the two small stones that Tang Wanwan picked out earlier. The lowest is one hundred cents, to one tael, two taels, and the highest is ten taels of silver a piece. Of course, with so many stones, are there any among them?
Jade is still an unknown quantity.
Wang Yiyi picked a piece, and Tang Wanwan glanced at it with her eyes. The waiter next to her followed Wang Yiyi and helped her put the stone she liked in the frame. They would select it carefully later.
It took a full hour to pick out a dozen pieces in total, but Wang Yiyi was so tired that she was sweating. Her little face turned red from exhaustion, which added a bit of color to her delicate face.
As her name suggests, Wang Yiyi has a slender figure, and is more feminine than her sister. She gives the impression that she looks like a soft and weak woman, but judging from her contact with her, Tang Wanwan
She realized that this Wang Yiyi was soft on the outside but strong on the inside, a woman with personality, so she decided to get to know her and help her. Although there was also a small encyclopedia reason, she was still willing to help her from the bottom of her heart. Although she had a premonition
, I am afraid that I will get into trouble for helping her this time, but I can’t care about that much for the time being.
"Miss Tang, I have chosen. I really don't know how to choose. Please help me take a look." Wang Yiyi said while holding a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. It was obviously winter, but because of her nervousness, she
My already hot head and nose tip were sweating.
A beauty is a beauty, and the way she wipes sweat is beautiful.
"Let's sit there and drink tea and watch."
Tang Wanwan didn't want to be out in the cold wind, just looking at it for most of an hour. Later she would briefly explain to Wang Yiyi some basic skills on how to identify rough stones. Logically speaking, her father should have left such secrets.
He wouldn't just give his daughter a jade shop without leaving anything behind.
The waiter went to serve them tea. The other person was not so easy to talk to. After seeing that they had chosen, he left directly.
"You two ladies, please have some tea. You take your time and choose. I'll stay with you here."
"What's your name? How long have you been working here?"
This guy doesn't look very old, he looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. He is very thin and has an ordinary appearance, the kind that no one would remember even if he is thrown into a crowd for a long time. And he is so thin.
People wonder if he is physically sick, and his thin body looks a bit out of shape.
"Miss, my name is Laifu. I have been here for almost a year."
Tang Wanwan nodded and said: "Brother, you are a good person, but I advise you to leave here early. This boss doesn't look like a good person." The clerk couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What can I do?
, I finally found this job that doesn’t require a lot of effort, and I’m very satisfied.”
Wang Yiyi didn't know what Tang Wanwan was going to do, so she just looked at her.
"Brother, can you divide some of the stones here?"
"I can't tell you this. I was just talking nonsense. I can't be sure." After hearing Tang Wanwan's words, Laifu suddenly lost confidence. His face couldn't help but turn red. He thought to himself that he was bragging now.
Well, he was teaching Miss Wang how to read jade before, but now Miss Tang is here to test him.
"It doesn't matter, just rely on your intuition."
We are all smart people. No matter how stupid this guy is, he still knows that Tang Wanwan didn't ask him to do this for no reason. He just replied: "Okay then."
The boy put aside the ones that Tang Wanwan was least optimistic about. There were two pieces in the middle that were okay, but the rest were just average.
"alright."
"Well, good, thank you for your hard work."
"Ms. Wang, let's take a look at this stone. Let's first look at the texture of the stone, then we can identify it by its sound, and then we can weigh it."
"Can you still weigh the portion?" Wang Yiyi had never heard of this.
"Yes, for stones of the same size, lighter weights are better than heavier ones, and then through the texture and color of the stones. Even the smallest details cannot be ignored. However, these efforts are not achieved overnight, they need to be done slowly
Summary of experience.”
Tang Wanwan said a few more things to pay attention to, and then divided the stones again, leaving three pieces, then selected two from the medium stones, and selected three larger stones from the low-grade stones.
A total of about 800 taels of rough stones were selected.
After Tang Wanwan finished speaking, she glanced at her younger brother and asked him if he remembered it. Tang Xiaoyi was not interested in these things and couldn't help scratching his hair and said, "I remember it, but I still don't recognize it." Wang Yiyi and Wang Yiyi were immediately confused.
Laifu was amused.
At first, Tang Wanwan chose based on her feelings. Unexpectedly, she picked a stone that she was more optimistic about. The stone was slightly warm, and there was a large or small shadow in the middle of the stone. If it was a general stone, it would be the temperature.
Very low or no temperature at all, and no shadow.
At that time she thought she was dazzled.
After trying it twice more, it turned out to be the case, so she took it boldly.
"Okay, that's all. Miss Wang, do you want to stop looking at it?"
"Have you brought enough money?" Tang Wanwan was afraid that if she took too much, it would be embarrassing if Wang Yiyi couldn't pay later.
"I brought it." After all, she is in the jade business. Wang Yiyi brought a thousand taels of silver notes when she went out today. She originally wanted to bring her sister over to have a look, but she didn't know that Wang Xiaoyu almost offended her nobleman.
Someone took her back. She could only choose here by herself. After a while, her servants would come to pick her up and then take the stones back.
"No need to look, let's ask the master to cut it." There are three jade masters here. Seeing them picking so many, their necks all stretched out.
Tang Wanwan saw that the two masters next to her were both strong and strong, and even used her eyes to signal the older man not to compete with them for business. You must know that when you meet such a big business, everything is just a few taels of silver in return.
A generous dozen or so taels is not a problem.
The older master prayed to them in a low voice, asking him to do something. The two men pushed him away directly. "Get out of here, old man, don't stop our brothers from getting rich."
Immediately, the two young and strong masters stood up to greet Wang Yiyi and the others. "Miss Wang, leave the work to me. I will definitely help you do it beautifully."
"Miss Wang, I do the best job among these three people. I believe you will get more treasures if you invite me this time."
.....
The two people here are competing for business, while the old man is sitting on the stool blankly, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Tang Wanwan was about to speak when she saw the shop owner coming. Behind him were a few wealthy customers. When he walked in, he smiled and said, "Oh, you two ladies picked so quickly. I happen to have a few in my shop."
A regular customer, I heard that you are going to open jade here, so I came here to join in the fun. Let’s see how your luck is today? Maybe you can get a big treasure.”
"Thank you for your good words. I hope I won't disappoint you." Tang Wanwan glanced at Wang Yiyi, who nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble the three masters to open it together."
"Thank you, kind lady." The older master immediately gave Wang Yiyi a grateful glance. Although Tang Wanwan couldn't stand the other two masters who were looking at each other, if she wanted to know the result quickly, there were three
Turn on the machine together.
Generally, when opening a jade, the master will ask the owner, and he will open it as the owner says. If the owner makes a mistake and the jade is broken, then the owner will have to consider himself unlucky. If the master is good at his craftsmanship, he will open it just right.
