Xue Chengyuan's family has a jewelry and jade business.
He has been exposed to it since he was a child and is quite familiar with these things.
But Xia Xiaoyu sneered, looked at Xue Chengyuan, and said decisively:
"I said it's not mutton-fat jade, and it's not mutton-fat jade! Even if you have any different opinions, my opinion shall prevail!"
Xue Chengyuan has been in Jiangcheng for so many years, who would dare to be so arrogant in front of him.
He grabbed the necklace, looked at Xia Xiaoyu, and said fiercely:
"Little bastard! Let me ask you, what would you do if this was mutton-fat jade? Do you dare to eat it?"
Xue Chengyuan was anxious.
He has been playing around with jade at home since he was a child. How could he not be able to distinguish mutton-fat jade?
Xia Xiaoyu also stood up, stared at Xue Chengyuan, and asked:
"Then what would you do if it's not mutton-fat jade?"
Xue Chengyuan immediately said:
"I ate it!"
He lost to Xia Xiaoyu twice before.
Xue Chengyuan was always dissatisfied.
This time, he finally found his area of expertise.
He will definitely not let Xia Xiaoyu go.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaoyu immediately shook his head:
"No, you're tired of it, and it's a pity that you lost your necklace! So, if you lose today, you will be my follower for a day. You have to do whatever I ask you to do, and you are not allowed to bargain!"
Xue Chengyuan agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
"Okay, it's settled!"
With that said, Xue Chengyuan raised his head and shouted towards the second floor:
"Shopkeeper Liu, come down here right away!"
Shopkeeper Liu is the shopkeeper of the Xue family's jewelry store.
Especially good at jewelry appraisal.
Today, the Xue family also set up an exhibition hall upstairs, and shopkeeper Liu came here specially.
As soon as Xue Chengyuan finished speaking, he saw a thin, dark man in his fifties wearing gold-rimmed glasses trotting down the stairs.
As soon as he arrived at Xue Chengyuan's side, he said respectfully:
"Master, you called me?"
Xue Chengyuan didn't talk nonsense either.
He picked up the necklace, handed it to Shopkeeper Liu, and asked directly:
"Let's see if this is mutton-fat jade!"
Shopkeeper Liu took the necklace.
I deliberately adjusted my glasses, squinted my eyes, and looked carefully.
After watching for a while, shopkeeper Liu looked up at Xue Chengyuan and said slowly:
"Master, this necklace is pure in texture, fine in structure, rich in moisture, mutton-fat white in color, and oily enough. This should be mutton-fat jade..."
As soon as shopkeeper Liu finished speaking, everyone looked at Xia Xiaoyu with contempt.
Just now, Xia Xiaoyu still vowed to make a bet with Xue Chengyuan.
Unexpectedly, he would be slapped in the face in such a short time.
Qin Zimo looked at Xia Xiaoyu even more worriedly.
She knows that young men like Xue Chengyuan.
Since Xia Xiaoyu doesn't like it, if he wins, he will definitely let Xia Xiaoyu swallow the necklace.
Xue Chengyuan was even more proud.
But he was not in a hurry. He turned to look at Shopkeeper Liu and asked again:
"Don't say what should be! Just say yes or no!"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded immediately.
The word "yes" has not yet been spoken.
Xia Xiaoyu glanced at him with a sneer and said first:
"Shopkeeper, why don't you take a closer look? If you take a wrong look, your job will be ruined!"
Xia Xiaoyu means well.
He knew that with Xue Chengyuan's temper, if Shopkeeper Liu was wrong.
He will definitely be fired.
Shopkeeper Liu didn't dare to neglect Xia Xiaoyu's reminder.
Picked up the necklace and looked at it again.
This time, he looked more carefully.
And hold it high, face it to the sun, and compare it carefully.
After a while, he looked up at Xia Xiaoyu and asked doubtfully:
"Little brother, do you think this is not mutton-fat jade?"
Xia Xiaoyu smiled and nodded slowly.
Shopkeeper Liu was even more surprised, staring at Xia Xiaoyu as if he couldn't believe it.
"How did you see that? My eyesight is dim and clumsy. Can you give me some advice?"
Shopkeeper Liu had no idea that Xue Chengyuan was making a bet with Xia Xiaoyu.
Although he now feels that there is something wrong with this mutton-fat jade.
But for a while, I didn't know where the problem was.
I had no choice but to ask Xia Xiaoyu.
Xia Xiaoyu smiled slightly, glanced at the necklace, and said directly:
"Shopkeeper Liu, don't you know there is a kind of glass called high-strength glass?"
When Xia Xiaoyu mentioned high-reinforced glass, Shopkeeper Liu suddenly realized.
He immediately looked at Xia Xiaoyu in surprise and said with some disbelief:
"You said this, this necklace is made of high-strength glass?"
Xia Xiaoyu nodded slightly and continued:
"Yes, high-fiber glass has excellent whiteness, the material is thick and dignified, and the feel is delicate and oily. Moreover, its hardness is close to that of mutton-fat jade. The most important thing is that, like mutton-fat jade, it does not react well when exposed to bright light.
There is also a looming structure underneath. It is precisely because of these characteristics that many jade masters are often fooled..."
As soon as Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking, he saw that shopkeeper Liu was so surprised that he was speechless.
He knew about high-strength glass, but this was his first time seeing it.
Looking at Xia Xiaoyu, he immediately asked:
"Then how did you tell?"
Xia Xiaoyu immediately replied:
"Because the two are extremely similar, it is generally difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. But in fact, it can still be judged by one thing, that is, the internal structure of high-reinforced glass is flake or dot-like. It lacks the water line in mutton-fat jade, which is also
There are no obvious lumps of cotton. You can take another look..."
As soon as Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking, shopkeeper Liu said excitedly:
"I felt like something was wrong, but I didn't understand it for a while. It turned out that the problem was on the waterline! Little brother, I, Liu, really learned a lot today. A conversation with you is worth ten years of reading!"
Shopkeeper Liu felt a sense of excitement that he was like-minded and could not wait to see each other.
But Xue Chengyuan's face turned green.
He looked at Shopkeeper Liu and asked bitterly:
"Shopkeeper Liu, are you saying that this really isn't mutton-fat jade?"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded immediately:
"Master, this is really not mutton-fat jade. If this little brother hadn't pointed it out, I would have almost gotten a punch in the eye just now!"
Xue Chengyuan didn't care whether he had a blind eye or not.
He only cares that he lost.
Today I will be Xia Xiaoyu's follower for a day.
Think of his dignified eldest young master, being ordered around by Xia Xiaoyu and doing things for him.
Xue Chengyuan suddenly felt agitated.
Turning to look at Xia Xiaoyu, he asked depressedly:
"My surname is Xia, but when Qin Zimo just looked at the necklace, why did you say it was good?"
Xia Xiaoyu laughed and explained:
"It's very simple, because the necklace just now is indeed real. But this one was stolen by the stall owner!"
Xue Chengyuan immediately turned his head and stared at the stall owner fiercely.
The stall owner waved his hands repeatedly and denied saying:
"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. Look at the necklace on my stall. Why should I throw it away? And look at my clothes. They don't even have a pocket. They just want to hide them.
There is no place to hide a necklace..." (To be continued)
