Although this raw jade stone is long in shape, its corners have been rounded, like a long pebble.
The main venue of Lao Pagan is called Paganji. It is a venue that stone gamblers are very familiar with and often talk about. This venue produces high-quality yellow sand, white salt sand, red sand and water sand.
Because Paganji has been mined for too long, these types of high-grade jade rough stones have disappeared from the market. Even if they exist, they are still in the safes of experienced players and will not be taken out until the end of life and death.
Only a handful of stone gamblers know that even Paganji is divided into two venues. The first one is the highland gravel layer, which is the hillside on both sides of the Wulong River.
The other entrance is a modern floodplain sedimentary sand deposit, which is the bed of the Wulong River.
The Wulong River Basin has heavy rainfall, high mountains and dense forests, deep water, and the situation under the water is extremely complicated, with whirlpools and undercurrents. No one dares to go into the water to fish for rocks even if they know there are treasures under the water.
This brown water stone can only be mined from the river bed during a rare dry season.
The jadeite produced by Shuishi Stone is higher than that of mountain stone in terms of species, water and color.
To determine whether a stone comes from Paganji, the main thing is to look at the gravel on the shell.
There are many jadeite farms in northern Myanmar, more than a hundred large and small, but the only one with gravel like salt is Paganji.
This brown water stone has the most distinctive characteristics of Paganji. The gravel is as smooth and delicate as salt, and its tentacles are moister than a baby's skin.
The reason why Ye Qing knew this was because Wen Yuanshan had been cutting stones for the old Sangji in Paganji for several years, and it happened to be during the dry season of the Wulong River that was rare in a century.
At that time, old Sangji sent people to collect a lot of these water stones, and most of them were cut up on the spot and sent to the public market.
Only some of them that were in excellent condition were collected by old Sangji.
Therefore, most stone gamblers know nothing about this short-lived, top-quality jadeite rough stone.
Lu Pan was very careful when drawing the line on this unfamiliar stone, just intending to open a canopy.
Lu Pan was cutting stones, Wu Chang was watering water, Dao Zhen was pulling the water pipes... Wu An, who had broken his ribs, and Tang Niu, who had broken his legs, were all lying aside and watching the fun...
The scene is a bit inconsistent, but it also highlights the charm of stone gambling.
Ye Qing sat next to Wu An: "How do you feel?"
"Go aside, don't delay me from watching the stone cutting!" Wu An didn't even see who the person was and drove him away dissatisfied.
"If I weren't worried about you dying here and Wu Dan risking your life for me, I wouldn't bother to talk to you." Ye Qing shook his head and laughed.
Wu An then raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, if I don't want to live and get out of here, I will be surrounded by the army tomorrow..."
"You said you were fat and breathless." Ye Qing shook his head and smiled, sitting next to him: "Does the wound still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, but it's a little itchy." Wu An smiled happily: "The medicine you gave me is so effective..."
It's not that the medicine has magical effects, it's that my Qi is so powerful. But Ye Qing would never say such words. He turned to look at Tang Niu: "How are you?"
Tang Niu smiled honestly: "It's similar to what Wu An said, it doesn't hurt, but it itch..."
"It's itchy because the broken bones are healing!" Ye Qing consoled him with a smile.
Tang Niu said impatiently: "Master, you are a master of stone gambling. Tell me, what kind of jade can be cut from this brown water stone?"
Ye Qing looked at him suspiciously: "You recognize this kind of stone."
Tang Niu glanced at him with disdain: "I saw this kind of stone in old Sanji's treasure house..."
Ye Qing said excitedly: "Do you know where old Sangji's treasure house is?"
Tang Niu didn't need to guess, he knew what he was thinking, and teased: "Even if I tell you, would you dare to rob it?"
"Wu An, the three of us can consider joining forces." Ye Qing began to lobby seriously: "Tang Niu will be the internal response, I will be responsible for the action, and you will be responsible for the transportation..."
Wu An waved his hand: "I can only think about this kind of thing. Old Sangji is not so easy to mess with. If he catches him, he will definitely skin and dismantle the bones..."
Song Youqing was horrified to hear that old Sangji, with his wrinkled smile, turned out to be a demon that made even these ferocious spirits fear him like a tiger.
Tang Niu waved his hand: "Don't say it's useless, tell me first why the shell of this stone is brown, and there are no python belts, pine flowers, etc."
Ye Qing smiled: "Let me test you, what are the characteristics of Paganji's stone?"
Tang Niu said without thinking: "The sand skin is like salt, mostly yellowish white, with a strong graininess, and wax shells are rare, but there are pine flowers and python belts on the stone shells. Most of the water bottoms are good, with yellow mist, white mist and mixed mist, and few cracks." , but the varieties vary greatly, from bean seeds to glass varieties, and there are even variants.”
Ye Qing nodded and said with a smile: "They are said to be water stones, but in fact they were once mountain stones. The river changed its course and washed away the hillside. These stones reached the bottom of the Wulong River, where they rubbed against each other under the rapids of the water, turning the soft weathered layer and the hard The python belt and the loose flowers have all been worn away, and what’s left is..."
"The fog layer, what's left is the fog layer!" Tang Niu finally understood why Paganji's water stone had no leather shell or pine flower snake belt. It had been worn away long ago.
The mist layer is actually the extension of jade flesh, which is harder than pine flowers and python belts...
Now he also understood the reason why Ye Qing let Lu Pian and others mess up even though he knew it was Paganji Shuishi.
The brown fog layer is a mixed fog, which produces good seeds, but it is difficult to produce good colors.
If this stone was yellow or red, he would never let Lu Pian and others do it...
"Buzz!" The blade cut into the air. Judge Lu raised his head, looked around the crowd, and his eyes fell on Ye Qing: "Master, you have the golden hand, come and shoot it!"
Ye Qing stood up with a smile, took the steel plate handed over by Wu Chang, gently pried the stone shell, and with a click, the stone shell opened...
A touch of light green appears in everyone's eyes, like the tender heart of spring onions. The color is straight and not slanted, giving people a pleasing feeling.
Song Youqing liked it a little and said in surprise: "What kind of green is this?"
"This is the hibiscus species, light green in color." Ye Qing took out his flashlight and turned on the light to take a closer look. He could vaguely see the traces left by the crystals. Although they were very blurry, they did not reach the level of the ice species...
Song Youqing was a little disappointed: "So it's worthless?"
"It depends on your standard of value." Ye Qing gave her a funny look. The two of them were so close that even the fine hair on her face could be seen clearly: "This stone weighs about thirty kilograms." About 500,000 yuan, if it is full of materials, it is worth at least five to six million, open the ground window."
"Okay!" Lu Pan agreed, Wu Chang lifted the stone and fixed it again.
"Stab!" The harsh sound of the stone cutter sounded again.
Song Youqing stared at it carefully. The so-called sky-to-ground window was actually a window opened from the top and a window opened from the bottom. This way, the light could be turned on and it would be clear at a glance whether it was full of materials.
