Almighty Appraiser

Chapter 9
"Xiao Liu, did you come here today because you want to chat with the old man?" Zhang Yu took out a tea set from under the cabinet and said with a smile, "You sit there, and the old man will make you a pot of new tea this year. "

"Old man, don't worry about it, I'll leave in a while." Seeing this, Shen Yunfeng quickly stopped Zhang Yu, paused, and said, "Old man, you know, I have learned sculpture since I was a child. Material, it's a little itchy."

"Oh? It's not easy, Xiao Liu, are you ready to get started?" Hearing Shen Yunfeng's words, Zhang Yu immediately understood. It turned out that this boy came to find rough stones at his place, which actually made Zhang Yu a little shocked.

As the saying goes, if you don't carve jade, you can't make it into a tool, but there are a lot of specialties in carving jade. When I was a child, my hands were not steady, and I was easy to get injured, and it was easy to use my hands.

Therefore, before the Republic of China, if an apprentice wanted to start carving jade, he had to learn painting for at least three or four years. After he had a certain foundation, he would start with radishes or softer stones.

Normally, apprentices can only start carving with jade after they are 15 years old, and when they get their grades, they are usually in their 40s and [-]s.

Young people like Shen Yunfeng, who seem to be in their early twenties at most, have already gotten started. Zhang Yu has never seen many of them. After all, no matter how cheap jade is, it is still money.

"Grandpa, I came out in a hurry this time. I didn't bring much money. I only have more than 500 on me. Do you think I can give you a stone?" Shen Yunfeng said with some embarrassment.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu smiled wryly: "Xiao Liu, this is not the old man. I am stingy. I have stones, but one piece costs at least a thousand yuan, and the purchase price is still the purchase price. Tell me, can I sell it to you?"

After a pause, Zhang Yu suddenly slapped his head, as if thinking of something.

"Look at my memory, old man. Xiao Liu, would you like jadeite? I do have some jadeite material. If you don't mind it, I can give it to you."

"I lost the old man's bet on these. There is no good material. I am going to throw them away, but these things are perfect for practicing. They are all waste anyway. If you want them, you can just take them away and save money." I'll find someone to throw it away."

"Okay, old man, thank you very much, then I won't be polite." Shen Yunfeng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurried to the pile of stones to pick them up, but Zhang Yu didn't see it. A sly smile appeared.

In the afternoon, Shen Yunfeng walked out of Baima Street, but in the bag in his hand, there was an extra rough emerald stone of nearly thirty catties.

Not only that, when Shen Yunfeng passed by a school, he entered a chemical reagent shop, and when he came out, he had another bag in his hand.

Without going home, Shen Yunfeng went directly to the old house, found a big iron pot, took a pot full of water, put it on the natural gas, then found a hammer, and put the rough emerald stone on the ground.

"Bang!" came the sound, and the hammer in Shen Yunfeng's hand slammed heavily on the surface of the rough stone, and a piece of dark brown stone skin immediately fell off the stone.

Although it is the material from a lost bet, it is still jade after all. When the stone skin is completely broken, the black and green jade material is different from ordinary stones.

Seeing that the water boiled, Shen Yunfeng gently put the stone into the iron pot, then put the lid on tightly, and the natural gas continued to burn underneath.

After finishing all this, Shen Yunfeng went out, but within half an hour, he came back, and at this moment, he was carrying a glass jar filled with some liquid, which he kept shaking.

After another half an hour, seeing that the fire was almost ready, Shen Yunfeng turned off the fire, stopped burning stones, and then poured the liquid in the jar into a ceramic basin, and a pungent yellow smoke came out of the basin .

After Shen Yunfeng took out the original stone, he put it directly into the basin.

When the hot stone touched the liquid, the smoke suddenly became bigger, and Shen Yunfeng who was standing aside was so excited that he burst into tears, and hurriedly retreated.

This is also a method he knew from jade pendants and books, using strong acid to dissolve impurities in jade, thereby improving the quality of jade.

Originally, when soaking, it is best not to heat the jade, because it is used for coloring, but Shen Yunfeng didn't have enough time to wait that long, and the acid he used was a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid Wang Shui can be regarded as taking a shortcut.

However, after being soaked in strong acid, the interior of the jadeite will be damaged. Not only will the structure be unstable, but the color will also slowly fade.

If it is done more carefully, it may be preserved for three to five years. However, with Shen Yunfeng's rough approach, within a month, the damaged structure inside the jade will be fully revealed, and it will be broken even if no one touches it.

The most important point is that the emerald made of strong acid will contain radiation. This prescription is against the harmony of heaven. Except for Zhao Jianhua, Shen Yunfeng is not going to use this prescription on anyone else.

After working all night, Shen Yunfeng showed an excited look on his face when he saw the finished product. This was the first time he practiced it. A black stone became crystal clear in just one night, which is not too different from turning stone into gold. big difference now.

However, the process of counterfeiting was not over yet. After Shen Yunfeng washed it carefully with clean water several times, he put it in an iron pot to heat again, and finally took out the liquid he bought at the chemical reagent store yesterday, and poured it into a basin.

This time, after heating for a full hour, Shen Yunfeng immediately put the stone into the solution while taking it out.

However, this is an industrial salt solution, which is different from civilian use. This method will cause objects to contain harmful substances. If exposed to it for a long time, it will have a great impact on people's health.

However, Shen Yunfeng did not completely follow the inheritance process. After the impurities were removed and the color was added to the jade, the storage period was very short and it would not have much impact on the wearer at all.

This time it had to be soaked for more than three hours. Shen Yunfeng, who had been busy all night and didn't close his eyes, was also a little tired at this time, so he ate a little and rested in the room.

Soon, three hours passed, and Shen Yunfeng opened his eyes on time. After pouring out the salt solution in the basin, suddenly, a piece of emerald green and crystal clear appeared in front of him.

"Pretty is pretty, but unfortunately, it's fake."

Shen Yunfeng shook his head, put the basin under the faucet, and rinsed it many times. When the green water gradually faded and disappeared, Shen Yunfeng stopped when there was no more.

Although these are all methods of the rivers and lakes, what Shen Yunfeng got was also the inheritance of the rivers and lakes, but he didn't want to get involved in that muddy water. He already has a plan for the future.

However, the most important thing right now is to turn this piece of jade into an ornament, and then sell it to cheat Zhao Jianhua.
