Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

"Species" naturally refers to the varieties of jade, including ice varieties, oil green varieties, etc.

Different varieties of jade have different colors, textures, transparency, origins and values. They are the most important basis for measurement. Generally, the price of jade can be determined by seeing the species.

The other thing is to look at "water".

"Water" actually refers to the emerald green color and transparency inside the jadeite.

Generally speaking, top-quality jadeite has uniform internal color, beautiful appearance, bright eyes, and good transparency.

As the saying goes, the more transparent the jadeite, the more valuable it is.

"As for the color, generally speaking, the brighter and darker it is, the higher the value." Lin Ran smiled, "But there are exceptions. For example, the color of ice jade is usually more light green or light white, while the color of flower jade is more Usually, there is more of dark green color. If there are other colors, it is the best quality and the price will increase.”

Guan Yun seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, and just nodded dullly. He did not expect that there are so many ways to gamble on stones.

The clerk laughed: "This little brother looks young, but he is quite professional."

"That's natural. This is the treasure appraiser I specially invited from the capital." Chen Cheng said quite proudly.

Hearing this sentence, the clerk's expression became a little unnatural.

But in a flash, he smiled and said: "Let's untie the remaining stones as well."

"Yes." Lin Ran nodded, and then he inspected each stone. In fact, he just relied on some previous knowledge to avoid cutting into the raw jadeite as much as possible. However, after all, operating one by one was too tiring, Lin Then the clerk explained how to set the angle and how to set the cutting strength.

The clerk looked at Lin Ran in disbelief as if he had come into contact with this machine for the first time, wondering if he had operated a similar machine before.

In fact, Lin Ran didn't, but as he came from the Internet era, he naturally mastered these machines faster than others.

Although the clerk feels a little uncomfortable, he can learn new knowledge.He reluctantly accepted.

Lin Ran then drew lines on other stones and told him to cut them according to these lines.

Afterwards, they left the stone gambling den and decided to go out for lunch first.

Anyway, the entire stone removal process should take a total of four hours. I'm afraid I won't be able to drive back to the capital today.

Just after they left, the clerk arranged for a master to help set up, and then he ran all the way back to the shopkeeper and told the shopkeeper about the matter.

"What? You mean they came prepared." The shopkeeper was a little confused. Chen Cheng was his big customer. They had been cooperating for two or three years. There was no reason to plot against him on this matter.

However, he also felt a little incredible when he heard it.

The young man brought by Chen Cheng can actually operate the latest stone dissolving machine, and he is better at it than his own clerk.

This kind of machine is currently only available abroad. Could it be an international student who came back from abroad?

His heart is extremely complicated and completely incomprehensible.

However, he still told the clerk: "If they have any requirements, you can satisfy them. If you can't do it, come to me."

"Yes." The clerk agreed, and then returned to the stone platform.

The shopkeeper was smoking alone. He also felt that something was wrong with this matter, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

"Do they know which stones contain jade?"

He couldn't believe it when he said this, because as the boss, he brought these stones back from the mine and he couldn't guarantee the quality, even though there were a large number of jewelry experts in his company who claimed to be able to see through Stone.

On the other side, Lin Ran drove to a nearby street, and they came to talk about the food here.

"The Jiangnan area not only has beautiful scenery, but the food is also extremely delicious." Guan Yun sighed.

What they are now tasting is Suzhou’s specialty delicacy, Dongpo Pork.

"Using lean meat as the main ingredient, first cut the meat into square shapes, then cook it over high heat until it is tender, and then add fresh juice for seasoning to prevent the fishy smell from being too strong. The meat is fat but not greasy, lean but not woody, and tastes good Rich and delicious, it is one of the most famous delicacies in Suzhou." Lin Ran introduced the production process while looking at Dongpo Pork.

Both of them laughed.

"Brother Lin, can't you tell that you are not only a treasure connoisseur, but also a gourmet?" Chen Cheng praised, "Can I invite you to be a chef at my house in the future?"

"I can just say it. If I really want to do it, I really can't do it." Lin Ran replied.

After all, in his previous life, Lin Ran always did his homework when traveling, so this time when he came to Suzhou, he also ordered local delicacies.

Lion head, squirrel mandarin fish, Jiangnan steamed dumplings, and Gusu cake dumplings, he introduced them all as if he were a local, all famous local snacks.

In fact, the only thing he knows about is Dongpo meat. The legend of Dongpo meat was created by Su Dongpo, a writer in the Song Dynasty. However, it is actually more popular in Guangdong and Guangxi regions.

At that time, Su Dongpo was serving as the magistrate of Guangzhou. At that time, he encountered a famine that had never happened in a thousand years. Su Dongpo cared about the people, so he asked his servants to cut all the pork at home into pieces and give them to the common people.

He only had a piece of pork left for himself, so Su Dongpo cut it into pieces himself, added various seasonings, and cooked it over a slow fire, finally turning it into delicious pieces of pork.

This is not only a famous traditional Chinese dish, but also has great humanistic care.

Lin Ran explained and tasted the delicious food.

I have to lament that the food of this era is still very natural.

It was not like the era he lived in before, when there were Sichuan and Cantonese restaurants everywhere, but the taste inside was very different, not as authentic as it is now.

They tasted very happily. After enjoying the food, the time came. At two o'clock in the afternoon, they drove back to the stone gambling ground.

As soon as he entered the stone gambling den, the clerk immediately greeted him: "Boss Chen, your stones are almost ready."

"Okay!" Chen Cheng looked very excited. After enjoying the delicious food, he could see his wealth immediately. He felt very happy. This trip was really the right one.

The clerk took them to the stone section and saw that all his stones had been cut into different shapes.

"Look at this stone!" The clerk picked up a light blue stone and said, "This water head is very good. The window opening is all filled with jade meat, which weighs at least six kilograms! Boss, you really made a lot of money, just for this piece With the materials, you can make more than ten bracelets!”

As if this stone was his own, the clerk was immersed in admiration.

In comparison, other woolen materials look a bit lackluster.
