White Fox frowned: "This stone has also been thrown."
Ye Qing looked at the wax shell. There were obvious scratches on it: "It must have been dropped, but the cracks inside are natural."
He lifted the stone and pointed the wax shell at the sun. Looking from the side, he saw a dozen tiny cracks crisscrossing the wax shell.
"How scary!" Even Greedy Wolf, who doesn't understand stones, was shocked to see such cracks.
Ye Qing glanced at Tanlang: "Keep this stone for me."
"It's all broken like this, what do you want it to do?" Bai Hu curled his lips in disdain and said proudly: "There are still dozens of pieces left, pick whatever you want!"
"Because of the hatred caused by the stone, I want to use the stone to take revenge!" Ye Qing chuckled: "With this stone, I can lead him to the road of no return..."
Although the people watching were all friends and relatives, they were still frightened by his cold words.
Killing someone is just a satisfying shot, but he insists on bankrupting the family.
Greedy Wolf quickly asked two soldiers to put the stone in the trunk of the Audi.
Ye Qing picked out a few more stones one after another. Looking at the fewer and fewer stones, Bai Hu finally lost his temper and said, "There are no cracks in these stones."
Ye Qing looked at her and smiled: "These are all from Xinchangkou. Even if they are of high quality if they are grown tenderly, the value is not high. It is better to sell them to Boss Qi..."
An Mengxi looked at him funny: "But they are all stones dug out from the ground. Why are they divided into old Changkou and Xinchangkou? Aren't they formed in the same geological era?"
The so-called geological age is a professional term in geology, which means that geological methods can be used to determine the glacial period and the era before the glacial period.
It is roughly divided into Archean Era, Proterozoic Era, Paleozoic Era, Cenozoic Era and so on.
Because the geological processes are completely different in different geological periods, the characteristics of the times are also completely different.
Ye Qing didn't know how to answer An Mengxi's question.
“Actually, the difference between the old Changkou and the new Changkou is based on the towns that were mined successively after humans discovered jade hidden in the rough stones.
It's not because they were created in different geological ages.
However, the means of mining rough stones back then were limited, so it was natural to mine them from easy places first.
It was first discovered that in the first mining sites, the water color of jade can reach the best.
Then, with the increase in mining volume, the output of the old field entrance dropped sharply, and we had to look for a new field entrance.
However, the water color of these new ones is not as good as that of the old ones. Even if high-end jadeite can be found occasionally, the chance is too low, so it is not the best choice for experienced stone gamblers.
After all, even the old market will fail nine times out of ten, let alone the new market with lower probability.
Seed refers to the texture. The crystals inside are so fine that they cannot be seen with the naked eye, so they are called seed.
The water head represents transparency. The higher the transparency and the longer the water head, the higher the value.
There is no need to talk about the color, but in fact, among the tributes in the late Qing Dynasty, the requirements for planting water were not high. On the contrary, the requirements for color and carving craftsmanship were the highest. "
"I have seen the Yilu Gantian collected in the Forbidden City. Legend has it that it is Cixi's favorite jade carving. It is a piece of ice with color, that is, chestnut yellow and green.
It is cleverly carved into a withered lotus leaf, which means that it can come out of the mud without being stained, and it can clean the ripples without being evil. It is purely to flatter the old queen.
But the autumn lotus is vivid and lifelike, and even the veins on the lotus leaves are clearly visible.
A little frog jumped vividly on the lotus leaf, as if you could see the lotus leaf trembling slightly.
At that time, I couldn't believe that this ingenious work of art was actually carved from jade. "
An Mengxi studied at Tsinghua University in Kyoto and was also a frequent visitor to the Forbidden City. She knew what Ye Qing said was Cixi's favorite seventeen jade carvings.
However, although these jade carvings are extremely valuable, none of them are of the Laokeng glass type that contemporary people pursue: "In that era, there was no glass jadeite."
Ye Qing chuckled and shook his head: "No, in that era, not only did the Laokeng Glass Species exist, but even the legendary Dragon Stone Species were not uncommon.
The official responsible for collecting jade below only paid tribute to ice-grown jade. This is because ice jade was the most produced and easiest to ship at that time.
Even if the court's demand is large, it can be easily handled.
However, relatively few of the dragon stone and Laokeng glass types were cut. In order not to cause trouble for themselves, these officials carved these small shipments of high-end jade into small objects and gave them to dignitaries.
In order to deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors, let Lafayette not know that there is jade in the world that is more high-end than ice. "
Ye Qing was picking stones as he spoke. Soon, out of the seventy or eighty rough stones that filled the pergola, only one piece of elephant skin, one piece of white salt sand, and one piece of rust leather were left.
There are no cracks on the surface of these three rough stones. The gravel is compact and feels tingling when touched by hand.
Especially one piece of rusty skin, the yellow-brown stone is like a piece of rusty iron, dotted with pine flowers, and covered with black moss, which makes people feel sick at first sight.
Seeing that he was looking carefully, the white fox hugged his knees and squatted beside him, curiously saying: "I have never seen you cut such a stone before."
The ugliest stone that Ye Qing cut was the thunder stone in the thunder field. The stone at the entrance of the field looked as if it had been struck by lightning. It was terribly ugly.
Ye Qing looked at the greedy wolves, An Mengxi and others who were surrounding him, and said with a smile: "I haven't cut it because during the time I came to Rayleigh, I never saw wax shells or rust skins.
This is the rough stone produced in the second layer of Huika Laochangkou. This layer has more red pepper oil shells and a small amount of wax shells and rust skins.
This piece of wax-shelled iron-rust skin can bet on old age and high color. However, the shells of this kind of stone can be thick or thin, ranging from bean seeds to ice seeds. The chances of cutting out bean seeds and waxy seeds are the highest.
Moreover, there will be variants, but the rough stones on the second floor of the entrance will be stuck, and there will be more full-color emeralds. The biggest disadvantage is that the gambling aspect is too high. "
An Mengxi looked at the many stones he picked out: "The reason why they are so gambling is because there are too many cracks."
Ye Qing glanced at her approvingly: "A child can be taught!" '
An Mengxi wrinkled her nose: "I'm not a little kid, I'm one year older than you."
Baihu turned to look at her and smiled brightly, making An Mengxi blush.
Ye Qing smiled and said: "If you bet on a stuck stone, you will be sure to crack it. Moreover, the stuck stone is known as a mysterious stone in the stone circle. There is a saying that the more it is rubbed, the more it will swell, and the more it is cut, the more it will collapse."
"Then let's gamble on this stone or not!" Bai Hu hesitated. Although the stone was confiscated and had no capital, she was afraid that Ye Qing would lose it by gambling on it.
After all, after she came back, she and her two brothers praised Ye Qing to the point where he was like the God of Wealth descending to earth. If he missed it, his brother would laugh at him.
An Mengxi was full of confidence in Ye Qing, and said with a smile: "Sister Amin, last night, the prices rose continuously. I am now the golden master of Ruili Stone Circle."
