The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

Yun Zhou took a closer look at the piece of wool from top to bottom, and could clearly see that the evil cracks had invaded the inside, and the cracks were densely spread out like a spider web, very deep.

When the flashlight is used, the impurities infiltrated in the cracks can be clearly seen. Even if there is jade in it, the quality of the jade must be destroyed.

Emerald pays attention to color and planting water. Impurities represent impurity and poor seeding water, not to mention a large number of cracks. No matter how you look at it, it is a piece of garbage that is close to waste.

If it was him, he wouldn't buy this piece of wool, which is equivalent to wasting money.

However, Xiao Yulong's perception of aura must be correct. If there is jade in the wool, it is most likely the part with pine flowers at the bottom.

Just as he was about to squat down to study carefully, an uncle next to him who was also looking at wool shook his head at him: "Young man, this is your first time to gamble on stones, right?

Regardless of the size of this piece of wool, it is actually not worth gambling at all. The most feared thing about jadeite is cracks, let alone such big evil locks. "

He also saw this young man with a clean smile and a hearty temperament. He reminded him kindly when he thought of his son who was still in college, "My family lives nearby and I often come here. This piece of wool has been in the store for a year. It didn’t sell, and the price dropped from 3 to 3000 yuan, so don’t be impulsive.”

"Well, thank you uncle for your reminder, I'll take another look."

Yun Zhou smiled at his kind reminder, but he still planned to buy the piece of wool.

Under the action of Xiao Yulong's spiritual energy, he put his hand on the bottom of the woolen material, and he really felt the abundant spiritual energy inside. The gathered spiritual energy washed against the rock wall like a rushing river. Full, there is a wider, wider feeling.

Yunzhou guessed that the water for this piece of wool might not be as good as the Heiwusha just now, but the size of the jadeite should be much larger than the previous piece.

The uncle next to him saw that the young man was still observing the wool, and sighed in his heart, "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of your eyes." '

After feeling the abundant aura, Yun Zhou has decided to buy this piece of wool immediately.

Same as last time, he randomly picked a smaller piece of material and put it in the trolley, ready to go to the counter to pay first.

Later, I have to trouble the clerk to send this piece of wool, which is half a person's height, to the stone-cleaning master.This piece of wool is so big that he can't move it by himself. He has to put the wool on a big cart to transport it.

When he came to the counter, he found Xu Ze was there.

Xu Ze selected two pieces of wool in total, one half-white wool with waxy apple green from the window, and one full-color wool with pineapple skin that performed well.

Shopkeeper: "Young Master Xu, just now we have negotiated a deal on the piece of half wool, the price is 700 million yuan; although this piece of pineapple shell wool is full wool, but the skin is as thin as paper, it is easy to produce high emerald, the price is 200 million yuan , a total of 900 million."

Yun Zhou gasped as he stood beside him, he was worthy of being the heir to the jewels handed down from generation to generation, and his hands were really generous.

Xu Ze also saw the other party and the three mediocre pieces of wool he had chosen, paused and said to the shopkeeper, "My classmate's pieces of wool will also be settled with mine."

Yun Zhou waved his hand immediately: "Young master, no need, I bought other things besides these three yuan, I'll pay for it myself."

Also bought other wool?

Xu Ze was stunned for a moment, and then pursed his lips. He didn't think that the boy bought too much, but he was worried that the other party would be emotionally depressed after he broke down.

Yun Zhou took the opportunity to say: "Boss, these three yuan, and the half-person-high piece of wool with cracks, a total of four yuan, please count it."

'That piece of wool with a bad split? 'The shop owner immediately understood which piece of wool was the fourth piece, and he couldn't help thinking to himself, this piece of wool can be regarded as sold!

Alas, he originally hoped that this piece of wool would fetch a good price. After all, it was so big that the shipping cost would cost a lot of money.It's a pity that no one cared about it after a year, so the price had to be reduced from 3 to 3000, which was barely enough.

However, it is much better to make some money than to throw it there as waste. The funds from the sale can be used to buy other woolen materials, and they are earned back within two times.

Xu Ze is a frequent visitor here, so he naturally frowned knowing that piece of wool that no one wanted after a year.

Just looking at the boy's smiling eyes, he swallowed everything he wanted to say.

The wool that no one cared about was finally sold, and the shopkeeper couldn’t help showing a smile on his face, “Heiwusha wool costs 800 yuan each, and two pieces cost 1600; this piece of rust leather wool costs 1200 yuan, plus the big one’s wool fabric costs 3000 yuan, a total of 5800 yuan. "

"Okay." Yun Zhou paid quickly.

Shopkeeper: "Do you want to explain the stone?"

Yun Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Yes, that big piece of wool has already been delivered."

Xu Ze also wanted to unravel the stone, so the two came to understand the stone machine together.

There are not many people who interpret stones at this time. The machine is idle and can interpret stones at any time.

"Someone wants to dispel the stone, come quickly."

"Wait for me--"

"Don't squeeze in."

Hearing that someone wanted to unravel the stone, people who were still picking wool gathered around. No matter what time it was, this indescribable excitement was extremely exciting.

Yun Zhou: "Young master, you can solve it first."

His piece of wool is too big, I don't know when it will be untied.

"En." Xu Ze was not polite, and after he finished unpacking the raw materials, he could just explain to the young man how to choose rough jadeite, and help him with some psychological construction by the way.

"First untie this half piece of wool, and slowly rub it along the window. If it turns green, cut it near the bottom quarter."

Xu Ze took out a pen and drew a line on the wool, just under the python belt and pine flower, so as to be safe and not hurt the jade meat.

"it is good."

Master Jieshi knew that he was an expert when he saw the line. If it were him, he would cut stones like this. This young man is really amazing.

The rubbing sound of the grinding wheel sounded, and the debris fell little by little. After about 10 minutes, the window that was only three fingers wide turned into a rubbing surface the size of an adult's fist. Judging from the exposed part, it was still ice waxy. The apple green seed water is as clear as ice, with a soft and waxy texture like glutinous rice, and the color is also very uniform.

"It's rubbed up!"

"I know this piece of wool, the old material of white salt sand skin in Munachangkou, and the water is very good."

"I've seen it too. The material is good, but it's too expensive."

"How much?"

"Remember it was seventy-eight million."

"Damn it, the rich—"

People around started talking, and all kinds of envious and jealous eyes focused on Xu Ze, and the latter had long been accustomed to all this.

Master Jie Shi took a flashlight at the cut surface, and said to the two: "The green should be eaten, so start cutting according to the line drawn just now."

Xu Ze responded.

The stone-cleaning master turns the wool and puts it into the stone-breaking machine, aligns the marked part with the edge of the knife and fixes it.

As the metal gears began to rotate, there was a huge cutting sound, and the gravel splashed and crackled on the glass cover. Water was constantly washing the cut surface, cleaning the gravel on the surface and cooling down the temperature.

The buzzing sound lasted for five or six minutes before it gradually stopped. Master Jieshi turned off the machine, took out the half-baked wool and took a look, "There is no green."

There are white stones on both sides of the cut surface.

Xu Ze was not disappointed. It is impossible for a piece of wool to be full of emeralds. As long as the greenness can penetrate six or seven centimeters, he will make a steady profit; , then this piece of wool can be doubled or tripled at least.

"Go ahead and cut it directly in the middle."

Seeing the cut surface of the white flowers, Xu Ze understood that he was too conservative just now, so he drew a line in the middle of the wool, and this time cut directly from the part with the pine flowers and the python belt.

"clear."

Master Jieshi moved the basketball-sized piece of wool about ten centimeters out, almost to the center.After this cut, whether there is green or not and how the water is planted are very important. It can be said that the winner will be won or lost.

As the sound of cutting sounded, Yun Zhou also became nervous. The excitement of betting on stones made his heart contract slightly, and his breathing became a little short.

This is worth 700 million wool, in case everything collapses——

No, no, what he just said doesn't count.The young man said 'Bah Bah' in his heart, secretly praying that the bet would go up.

He looked at First Young Master Xu beside him. The latter's face was as usual, but his knuckle fingers were gradually tightened in his sleeves, and it seemed that he was not as calm as he appeared.

When the sound of the gears turning stopped, everyone looked at the exit of the stone-dissolving machine with intense anticipation.

Whether a high-grade emerald was born, or millions of wools were wasted, either way will make people feel extremely exciting and excited!

When Master Jieshi took out the raw materials, the hearts of everyone present also rose to their throats.

He wiped the cut surface with a towel, and saw that the texture of the exposed emerald was as clear as ice, delicate and moist, as if there were waves rippling in it, and the green color was like Hsinchu after rain, as if the sun had shone into the green leaves, and the fluorescence was shining , It turned from ice waxy apple green to ice sun green!

However, it is a pity that there are pieces of white cotton distributed on the cut surface, swallowing most of the transparent texture and greatly reducing the grade of jadeite.

Master Jie Shi showed Xu Ze the wool cut in half, and then sighed, "Oh, what a pity."

"what happened?"

"It's white cotton, it's been cut to pieces!"

"Hey, the planting water has reached ice green, how can there be white cotton?"

"It's okay if there is less white cotton, but it's really difficult to handle so much."

White cotton refers to the translucent and slightly transparent white minerals in the shape of filaments and strips inside the jadeite. It is an impurity in the jadeite, which seriously affects the transparency and aesthetics of the jadeite. Its existence will greatly affect the value of the jadeite. ①

Of course, this is not absolute.

Some white cotton, such as "snowflake cotton", is evenly distributed, pure and elegant, just like dots of snowflakes floating in the clean and clear texture of ice or glass. The foundation of the painting adds a bit of poetic and picturesque artistic conception, which is too beautiful to behold.

After the ice species with snowflake cotton is made into bracelets and pendants, the value remains high. It is a kind of high-end jadeite, and the price is no less than that of ice species sun green jadeite.

For example, the well-known "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms" ornaments are made of colorless glass and snowflake cotton.

However, the white cotton on the cut surface of this piece of wool is very uneven, and it is gathered together in a silky shape, which is very obvious in pieces, which greatly reduces the transparency of the emerald, and it does not have the artistic conception of snowflakes at all.

It is impossible to make bracelets, and only rely on the superb craftsmanship of jade carving masters to cover up flaws and make them into pendants or ornaments.

In short, the possibility of this piece of wool gambling is very small.

Xu Ze's face turned slightly pale. This is his favorite piece of wool, and it does have the texture of ice seeds. However, Gao Cui with impurities is completely useless, even if the jade carving master uses extraordinary skills to carve it into pendants, etc. The decorations are also mid-range jadeite ornaments, which cannot make up for the gap of high-end jadeite in N store.

"Master, let's make the last cut and see how Bai Mian is doing."

As the heir appointed by Mr. Xu, Xu Ze quickly adjusted his mentality to see if he could recover part of the loss.

"Okay." Master Jie Shi gave him an appreciative glance, it is definitely not easy for this young man to maintain such a good attitude even after being cut to pieces.

He put the half piece of wool cut out of white cotton back into the stone-cleaning machine, moved it five or six centimeters away along the line, and the fixed position was only about four centimeters away from the wiper's mouth.

After about 5 minutes, the screeching sound of metal rubbing finally stopped, and Shi Jieshi took out the wool that had been cut in half, with a smile on his face: "It's cut up."

I saw that the cut surface of the two pieces of wool with the mouth is still ice waxy apple green seed water, with a faint texture like ice, which is close to ice seeds; while the other cut surface is distributed with a few flocculent white cotton.

What is surprising is that the marking is extremely precise this time, basically dividing the wool into two relatively complete pieces.

This kind of eyesight makes the master Shijie a little impressed. With his more than 20 years of experience in Shijie, sometimes he can't do it so accurately.

"Not bad, at least I didn't lose too much."

"It's a lot of loss, and the remaining part can probably take out two pairs of bracelets."

"700 million, such good material has collapsed, I really don't know how to increase the bet—"

"Why don't you go to another store to see, the price increase rate of the materials here is too low."

"That's right, it's gone."

When the shop owner saw white cotton appearing in the emerald, he thought something was wrong. At this time, seeing someone making such a comment, he slapped his thigh suddenly, feeling extremely annoyed.

He originally hoped that this piece of woolen material would increase in price so as to attract customers. Who would have thought that there would be white cotton in such a good material?

Now not only the business has not been obtained, but also many customers have been 'driven away'.

In a blink of an eye, most of the crowd dispersed, and some people who liked to join in the fun were waiting for the next solution, in case the betting went up, they could still be happy.

Xu Ze held woolen material that was only four or five centimeters thick in his hand, and his expression was a little gloomy.

The piece in his hand is a complete ice waxy apple green material, and he can take out two pairs of bracelets and five or six pendants or pendants at most, which is about 200 million.

As for the remaining three pieces, one is waste material, and the other two pieces are covered with a lot of white cotton. It is estimated that even pendants cannot be made.I can only let the master jade cutter try to dig out part of it, and carve the rest into ornaments, which can be worth seven to eight million yuan at most.

It is unacceptable that the value of 700 million yuan of wool and less than 300 million yuan of emeralds were obtained in the end.

Fortunately, the part of the wool material near the center has changed from ice-waxy to ice-like, and a pair of bracelets can barely be made, which is better than nothing.

Xu Ze pursed his lips, took a few deep breaths to adjust his irritability, and took out the second piece of wool from the small cart next to him.

This is a mountain rock with a pineapple shell. The shell is orange-yellow like a pineapple. Although it is made of pure wool, it is a rare and high-quality wool. The shell is delicate and the structure is firm.

The most prominent feature of the pineapple shell is that the skin is as thin as paper and has a high probability of coloration. You can clearly see the green color inside the shell with a white light flashlight. It is a material that is easy to produce high green.

The wool of this pineapple shell is larger than a football, and it is in an irregular quadrilateral shape. The python belt is wrapped around the wool, and clusters of pine flowers are wrapped like ribbons or distributed on the surface of the stone. The shapes are thick and thin. The color is bright, which means that the coloring is good.

In addition, the bottom is as gray and black as burnt firewood, which is the dryness on the emerald shell.Generally speaking, if you are dry, you will be colorful, and the gamble is relatively strong.

Overall, this is a good all-round gambler.

Xu Ze regained his composure, and handed the piece of pineapple shell wool to Master Jie Shi, with a little more confidence in his eyes.

The previous white cotton was an accident, an impurity contaminated from the outside during the tens of thousands of years of formation of jadeite, which is unpredictable.

However, this piece of wool, no matter from the performance of the leather shell or the polishing, is a good material that will surely turn green. The only thing that is not sure is the water. I hope it will not disappoint him.

Yun Zhou looked at the little Yulong on his wrist curled up lazily and yawned, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Just now when he touched the ice waxy apple-green material, Xiao Yulong stood up tall and screamed like a baby, but now he lay down completely, looking bored, he always felt that he was not optimistic.

"Master, first wipe it at the junction of the dry and python belt at the bottom, and then cut it from here after the green is out." Xu Ze's slightly cold voice sounded.

The main purpose of rubbing stones is to rub out green, so you should start rubbing from the most likely position to get green.

Generally, stone rubbing is performed in the order of "first rubbing the scorpion (python belt), second rubbing dryness, third rubbing ringworm, and fourth rubbing pine flowers".

"No problem." Master Jieshi had no objection to this plan. After fixing the bottom of the wool, he started to polish it with a small grinding wheel.

"It's green!"

"My God, so fast."

"As expected of the fine wool of the pineapple shell, the skin is as thin as paper, and it turns green when you rub it!"

I saw a fingernail-sized green peeking out from the edge covered by the debris, which was seen by sharp-eyed people, but it couldn't be seen by the seedling water.

Master Jieshi rinsed it with clean water, exposing the rubbing surface at the bottom.

I saw that the surface of the jadeite had a delicate luster like oil, and the translucent texture seemed to be dyed with a layer of floating light. The color from the inside was emerald green, plump and rich, and even in tone. It was an oily green jadeite .

"...The color is very good, but the kind is a bit poor."

Master Jieshi could only shake his head and sigh, full green is the top color among greens, but unfortunately the oil green jadeite can only be regarded as the middle and low-end jadeite, if it is above the ice jadeite, it is too valuable.

"Hey, it's the first time I've seen Manlu, but unfortunately it's the oily green variety."

"Is this going up or down?"

"It should be broken. The wool of this pineapple shell costs at least 60 million."

"What's going on today, I looked around and there are not many bets going up."

"Young master, are you okay?" Yun Zhou walked over and patted him on the shoulder, his tone full of worry.

"...It's okay." Xu Ze raised his hand and rubbed his swollen and painful temples, feeling unbearable bitterness in his heart, he never thought that his two most promising pieces of wool were all betted off.

Betting on rocks really cannot be deduced by common sense. Nine out of ten bets are not just talk.

"Don't worry, I can hold on." Xu Ze is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves with his grandfather. After taking a few deep breaths, he barely recovered, and said to Master Jieshi, "...continue cutting."

His voice was a little more hoarse and trembling for no reason, which showed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

Master Xie Shi also felt that it was evil, and it was impossible to gamble on such good two pieces of material.

However, betting on stones is a bet on uncertainty, and no one can predict it.

In the end, more than half the size of a football was extracted from the wool of the pineapple shell.What's rare is that the color distribution is relatively even. You can pick out seven or eight pairs of bracelets and a dozen hangers. After polishing, the total price should be around 100 million.

However, this kind of oily and green jewelry can only be sold in branches in second-tier cities. Handed down jewelry mainly focuses on high-end jadeite, and the customers are rich people worth tens of millions, so mid-to-low-end bracelets may not be popular.

Xu Ze silently put the oily green jadeite aside.

His luck was really bad today. Not only did he lose more than half of the 900 million rough stones, but he also didn't solve any problems.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer high-grade jadeite raw materials. Now he thinks of the piece of glass that was unpacked three years ago and is full of green jadeites, and he feels like a dream. Could it be that luck can no longer favor him?

"Young master, sit down and rest for a while."

Yun Zhou handed him a bottle of water, his eyes slightly curved, "Well... Maybe I can solve a piece of ice jade."

Xu Ze unscrewed the bottle cap, caught a glimpse of the half-person-high piece of material placed on the side and rear, and gently pulled the corner of his mouth.

This evil lock of wool has penetrated deep into the interior, not to mention the ice jadeite, even the lowest flower brand material may not be able to be unraveled.

The slightly cool liquid poured into his throat, he looked at the young man's eager expression, and lowered his eyes.

Well, let him try it.

Now that the people around are almost dispersed, what is the value of the unraveling material, it is only interesting when the bet goes up.It just so happened that a piece of water-type yellow-yang-green jadeite was raised in the shop next door, and many people went there to celebrate.

Yun Zhou smiled at Master Jieshi and said, "Master, it's my turn."

He pointed to the half-person-high woolen material next to him, and together with the other two shop assistants, he moved this piece of woolen material to the understanding stone machine, and Xu Ze also helped.

"...this one."

The stone-cleaning master frowned when he saw the vicious cracks on the surface of the stone that almost ran through the entire piece of wool. In his opinion, this piece of wool was worthless, and it was a waste of energy to untie it.

It's such a big piece, I don't know when it will be solved.

"Master, I'm really sorry for your trouble. I'll add 500 to the cost of dissolving the stone." Yun Zhou knew that the piece of wool was very large and it would take a lot of time.

"...that's not necessary."

Seeing the polite and well-behaved young man in front of him, Master Xie Shi felt a little embarrassed, complaining is nothing but complaining, and he still needs to have professional ethics.

"Master, you can start cutting directly from the back. The crack on the top is too deep, and it will definitely not turn green." Yun Zhou couldn't directly point to the bottom, so he could only cut two more times from the bottom step by step.

"Okay." Hearing this request, Master Xie Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This piece of wool looks very big, but if you just cut it from the bottom, it will be the size of two basketballs. You just need to cut it off and put it in the stone breaker.

Fortunately, the other party is not the kind of blind command to wipe the stone, otherwise he would really vomit blood.

The cross-section of this piece of wool is too large to be put into the stone-cleaning machine as a whole, so it can only be cut manually first.

Master Jieshi took a socket from the back, plugged the hand-held cutting machine into a power source, put on protective equipment on his face, and started cutting.

The tooth-piercing 'zilazila' cutting sound sounded, and the gravel splashed in an instant, and Yun Zhou and the others immediately moved away.

The protective shield on Master Jieshi's face was crackled by the gravel, and he had to sprinkle some water from time to time to wash away the debris on the surface of the wool. His strong arms were also numb from the shock.

After more than ten minutes of cutting, the [-]-kilogram piece of wool was finally divided into two pieces, three-quarters of the waste was thrown aside, and the rest was the size of two basketballs side by side, about forty to fifty Kilogram.

The cut surface is indeed a white stone. From the cross-section, it can be seen that the cracks have spread to the inside, and there are spider-like lines on the stone.

Several people around shook their heads one after another. The crack is so deep, I'm afraid it's a dead end.

"Master, please cut a knife here."

Yun Zhou tried to draw a line near the middle, which is still a little distance from the bottom, so as not to hurt the jade meat inside.

"Yes." The stone-resolving master wiped the sweat from his forehead and put the wool into the stone-resolving machine.

It is much easier to operate with a machine, but it only takes a few minutes more time.

"It's broken." A few minutes later, he took out the woolen material, and one of the cut sides did turn out a little green, but it was all torn apart by the strands, and it was broken badly.

"Do you want to go further?"

According to Master Jieshi's judgment, there is absolutely no need to untie it when it is broken into this shape. The cracks obviously show no sign of relief, and even if there is jadeite, it is still broken and has no value at all.

"Solution." The young man touched the coquettish little Yulong on his wrist, and said a little embarrassedly: "I really trouble you."

"Ah, it's all broken like this?"

"There is no need for wool that must collapse."

"If you want me to say, don't waste your time!"

"That's right, change it quickly."

The people around complained that no one was optimistic about this piece of wool.

This has already wasted a lot of time. If this piece of fur with a bad crack can be extracted from the emerald, heh, a sow can climb a tree!
