"I'm so sleepy. Whose chicken is crowing again? Grandma's, I have to steal it over and stew it at night!"
When it was just dawn, Li Tianyuan stretched out and walked out of the house. He looked up and saw Qin Feng and Xie Xuan squatting at the door of the kitchen. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Brother Feng, why did you two get up so early?"
"It's not that I woke up early, it's that I didn't sleep at all!"
Xie Xuan replied without raising his head, his eyes fixed on the ground, as if there was some rare treasure there.
"What are you doing if you don't sleep?"
Li Tianyuan stretched his head to take a look, and said with a lack of interest: "Isn't it just a stone? I said you still regard it as a treasure."
Li Tianyuan couldn't find a single bone in his body from his hair to his heels. Although the stone was very shiny and beautiful, he didn't take it seriously at all. He took a few steps back to the yard and started practicing standing postures.
Get up and work.
"Simple-minded brawn!"
Seeing Li Tianyuan's actions, Xie Xuan muttered in a low voice, but immediately focused on the piece of jade that had just been taken out of the strong acid.
"How beautiful!"
Looking at the nearly transparent large piece of jade, Xie Xuan couldn't help but groan. If he hadn't known that this thing was corroded by strong acid, he would have wanted to hold it in his arms and play with it carefully.
"The methods taught by Master really work!"
Qin Feng also had an excited look on his face. He used to listen to theory, but after applying it in practice, Qin Feng could truly feel the strong visual impact of this change.
In fact, before starting, Qin Feng had some doubts in his heart. A dark stone turned crystal clear in just one night. This was simply the ability to turn stone into gold.
"Brother Feng, let's just take this and sell it?"
Xie Xuan looked at Qin Feng, his eyes full of admiration. If he hadn't been staring at it since last night, he would never have believed that the stone could change so much.
"It's so easy for you to pretend to be a fake? There are still several processes that have not been completed." Qin Feng took a deep breath and said: "Little Fatty, go make a fire and heat this stone!"
"Hey, Brother Feng, is it 212 degrees? I'll definitely control the heat!"
Although he didn't sleep all night, the little fat man was full of energy. He squatted down to the stove excitedly, lit the fire, filled the pot with water and started boiling it.
Qin Feng put the stone that had processed the impurities between the grains into the water, then poured the pungent acid into the sewer, rinsed it carefully with clean water several times, and then took it out
I bought the chromium salt solution yesterday.
Chromium salt is one of the main products of inorganic chemicals, including sodium dichromate and chromic anhydride, as well as a small amount of potassium dichromate, chromium oxide green, basic chromium sulfate and some chromium-containing pigments.
Chromium salts are widely used, mainly used in electroplating, tanning, printing and dyeing, pigments, medicines, catalysts, oxidants, glass ceramics, magnetic materials, wood anticorrosion, metal polishing, etc.
In addition to these functions, chromium salts can also be used as a pigment, artificially injected into jade.
Boil the jadeite in water as high as 212 degrees for half an hour, and then immediately put it into the chromium salt solution. The chromium salt will penetrate into the jadeite crystal lattice, making it appear a beautiful and attractive green color.
It's just that unlike civilian chromium salts, this method will cause the objects added to the chromium salt solution to contain harmful radioactive substances. If exposed to it for a long time, it will have a great impact on human health.
Therefore, when teaching Qin Feng this technique, Zai had specifically warned him not to cheat as much as possible. This kind of recipe is indeed against the harmony of nature.
However, Qin Feng did not completely follow the process taught by Zai Shi. After the impurities are removed and the color is added to the jadeite, its storage period will be very short, and there is no risk of causing fatal harm to the wearer.
"Brother Feng, it's ready!" Half an hour later, Xie Xuan's shout rang in Qin Feng's ears.
"Success or failure depends on this." Qin Feng picked up the ladle and carefully put the original stone into the chromium salt solution. The pure stone suddenly showed a light green luster of chromium salt.
If you want to implement your plan, this piece of jade is an indispensable link. With Qin Feng's current age, it is a bit unrealistic to want to be a white wolf with nothing, and the basin in the basin is the most important thing for him to win people's trust. Props.
"Brother Feng, why does this look like dyed cloth?" Xie Xuan, whose face was stained with black ash, came over, looked at the stones in the basin nervously, and asked: "Brother Feng, how long should this thing be soaked? "
"It's almost two hours, little fat, you go and get some sleep." After the rough stone is processed, all that is needed is craft work, which cannot be learned in a short time.
"No, Brother Feng, I want to watch!" Xie Xuan rubbed his bloodshot eyes and shook his head. He had been involved in this matter from beginning to end, and the sense of expectation in his heart was no better than Qin's. How much is the wind difference?
"Touko, come here!"
Seeing Li Tianyuan standing still and putting on airs, Qin Feng suddenly became angry. The two brothers were busy working on their future happy life. This boy was really good, and he was like a big shopkeeper.
"Brother Feng, what's wrong? Did I practice wrongly?" Li Tianyuan looked nervous when he heard Qin Feng's shout.
"You can't have anything else in your mind besides practicing?"
Qin Feng said angrily: "Stop practicing now, go buy some breakfast, don't just buy sesame cakes, buy more meat buns, Xiaopang and I are starving."
"Hey, I'm going right away!"
As the saying goes, a young man is a poor man. Li Tianyuan had already digested what he had eaten and drank yesterday. He was hungry now. After hearing Qin Feng's words, he hurriedly went to buy breakfast.
After breakfast, Qin Feng sent Li Tianyuan, who was "not seeking advancement", to continue standing, while he and Xie Xuan squatted next to the iron basin with the jadeite stones.
After two hours passed, Qin Feng poured out the chromium salt liquid in the basin. Suddenly, a piece of green and crystal clear jade appeared in front of the two of them.
"It's...so beautiful!"
Looking at the jade that showed a deep green color in the sunlight, Xie Xuan's eyes were full of intoxication. He could not connect this piece of jade with the broken stone yesterday.
"Beautiful is beautiful, but it's just fake!"
Qin Feng brought the basin under the faucet and rinsed it many times. When the water washed over the stones, it seemed to be infected by the green color, and the entire pool changed color.
"It's so beautiful, even if it's fake!" Xie Xuan looked at Qin Feng and begged: "Brother Feng, leave a small piece for me to polish the ring surface? This thing is really beautiful!"
Xie Xuan once saw a friend of his father wearing a green jade ring, but the luster and greenness of the ring were far inferior to the one in front of him.
"Didn't I tell you just now? This thing is harmful. It doesn't matter if you want to kill me!"
Qin Feng took the piece of jade in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while facing the sun. Then he turned and said: "Our process is too simple. The chromium salt solution is also used in industry and may contain radioactivity." , do you dare to wear such a thing?"
Qin Feng was not trying to scare Xie Xuan, but when he was teaching him this recipe, he once told him a story.
It happened more than sixty years ago in the 1930s. There was a boss who specialized in jade. He spent a lot of effort, consulted many domestic chemical experts at that time, and after doing many experiments, he figured out this recipe.
At that time, most of the top-quality jadeite that appeared in the country came from this person, and he almost formed a monopoly. No one could compete with him in the sale of jadeite.
But just when the boss's business was booming, news of his death suddenly came out. Someone found an imperial green ring noodle the size of a pigeon egg in his hand.
This thing attracted the attention of the third lady of the Song family at that time, but what was unexpected was that the ring face was actually a fake, and after identification, the ring face could radiate harmful radiation to the human body.
In order to eliminate the panic of those who bought the jade, the news was only circulated in a small circle, but the recipe for counterfeiting was spread.
It was the recipe that you would get, but then the Japanese invaded China and the war broke out, and the jadeite as a plaything was gradually forgotten by people. Now, it has long been changed.
"What's the matter, do you still want it?" After telling Xie Xuan the story, Qin Feng looked at him with a smile.
"Brother Feng, I haven't lived enough yet." Xie Xuan subconsciously took a few steps back and said with some regret: "It's such a pity that such a beautiful thing can't be used."
"The real imperial green jade is more beautiful than this. China doesn't pay much attention to jade now. We can pay more attention to it in the future."
Although he has received the inheritance from the Eight Outer Sects, Qin Feng does not want to get involved in the muddy waters of the world. He already has some vague plans for the future in his mind.
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to turn this raw jade stone into jewelry and then sell it. After several processes, the mold is ready, but there are two most important steps behind it.
"The bracelets are too labor-intensive, and the legendary pair of bracelets also have some flaws. Let's just make a pair of earrings and a Buddha statue. Anyway, the one is called Lafayette!"
Holding the piece of jade in his hand, Qin Feng's hands were covered with a green sheen. After pondering for a long time, Qin Feng finally made a decision in his heart.
The expenses were quite high these days, and Qin Feng also knew that there was not much food left, so he immediately returned to the house and took out the set of carving knives he bought yesterday.
"Your hands must be steady, your eyes must be quick, and you must not hesitate when cutting!"
Thinking of some of the tricks taught by his master, Qin Feng's weak, boneless hands began to move on the surface of the jadeite.
At the beginning, Qin Feng's hands seemed a little unfamiliar, but after ten minutes, Qin Feng's movements became more skillful. Where the knife fell, fragments of jade continued to fall down.
