In the Tang and Song Dynasties, Yuan Xin was right. As the saying goes, it is difficult for an immortal to break an inch of jade. What he is talking about is the difficulty of gambling with jade stones.
Is it possible that Ni Dehong also has clairvoyance and can see through the inside of the jadeite rough stone, and can easily determine the color of the jadeite germplasm and other conditions.
Seeing that Tang Songyuan did not speak, but looked like he was listening attentively, Ni Dehong chuckled twice and said:
"Generally, glass-type rough stones are mostly produced in Laokeng, because the rough stones in Laokeng will undergo more weathering, geological erosion, etc., and the quality is generally better than the rough stones in Xinkeng."
"Therefore, when we judge glass jade raw stones, there are two other indicators. One is its oiliness, which is also called fluorescence, and the other is its hardness."
"Glass jadeite wool has a very fine and compact jade quality, and has a higher density than ordinary wool, so its hardness is also the highest."
Tang Songyuan slapped his thigh and said, "Master is absolutely right. I just saw that the material was sandy and tough, and gave me the feeling of old gang ice oil, so I bought it without hesitation."
There is a certain amount of nonsense in this statement, but it is particularly appropriate in this situation.
Ni Dehong nodded, put down the piece of white sand-skin material, and turned to look at the ugly stone.
As soon as he hit it with a flashlight, he frowned.
"Are you planning to gamble on this?" Ni Dehong asked without raising his head.
Tang Songyuan said: "Yes, Master, this piece of material should be enough for planting water, but I'm not sure about the cracks. It's only three thousand and five thousand, so I didn't think much about it."
Ni Dehong said: "This is not a matter of how much money. I seem to have told you before that there are five major gambling points in stone betting. The seed bottom is cracked and dirty, and cracking is the most difficult point to bet on. Don't take this risk in the future. ”
Tang Songyuan did not refute, but kept saying yes.
Then Ni Dehong told Tang, Song and Yuan some of his own experiences on the characteristics of gambling.
Before they knew it, it was noon, and Ni Sisi came over to ask them to eat.
After dinner, Tang Songyuan said goodbye, and Ni Sisi drove him to the newly opened Hex Jade Industry.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard the noise of pulling and pulling saw blades to cut materials. Li Yangqiu stood behind Ma Tianming and watched him carefully cutting the materials.
Seeing Tang Songyuan enter the door, Li Yangqiu immediately came over and greeted with a grimace:
"Mr. Tang!"
Tang Songyuan asked: "What's wrong? You're looking sad."
Li Yangqiu said: "Brother, did you not pay attention to Qichen when you started work? This morning I asked them to cut the materials you took back yesterday, but they cut three pieces in a row, and they were all scraps."
Tang Songyuan glanced at him and thought to himself, you didn't look at Qi Chen when you went out this morning.
Of the eight pieces of materials for riding a horse, five of them have materials, and it just so happens that the three pieces that don't have materials are all chosen by you. It's not an ordinary memorization.
He said: "It's okay, you can take your time cutting the stones. This is my senior sister Ni Sisi, whom you met at Ni's house before. She is now the financial director of the company."
"Have you had lunch?"
Li Yangqiu first said hello to Ni Sisi and then said:
"After eating, I asked the Sichuan restaurant on the corner to bring three dishes and one soup. You have to reimburse me later."
These words were half-joking, but Tang Songyuan nodded and said:
"I was just about to talk to you about this matter. There is no food group in the factory now. I decided to follow the food standard of 20 yuan per person,"
"Then we will arrange for meals to be delivered from nearby restaurants for lunch and dinner."
Breakfast is not arranged during the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties. For locals, there is no breakfast that cannot be solved by a meal of rice noodles.
"It's green!"
While the three of them were talking, Ma Tianming's stone-cutting machine stopped, and then Ma Tianming's excited voice came.
He ran over with a piece of wool in both hands and said excitedly to Tang Songyuan: "Mr. Tang, take a look at this piece of material."
Tang Songyuan took it and opened the cover with the wool cut open, and a greenish-yellow color appeared in front of his eyes.
Tang Songyuan said: "This is apple green. Although the green color of apple green is not so pure, the yellowish tone makes the green look brighter. It's not bad. Keep cutting."
I learned a lot from He Tai some time ago, and Tang, Song and Yuan were not just talking nonsense.
Ma Tianming said happily: "Okay, Mr. Tang, what do you think about starting from here?"
Tang Songyuan took a look with his perspective, nodded and said, "Okay!"
Li Yangqiu looked on in shock for a while. After Ma Tianming returned to his work station, he spoke:
"Oh, I don't understand, why all the things I cut out when I was here all morning were scraps, but you just came here and they turned green?"
There is a pun in this remark, and Tang, Song and Yuan heheed twice,
Said: "I am lucky, but you are different. You have a green-absorbing constitution, which can easily absorb the green color from the original stone."
Ni Sisi was too lazy to listen to the bickering between the two of them and asked, "Where is my office?"
Tang Songyuan pointed casually and said, "Sister, take a look first, or you can choose it yourself."
In the next hour, several other workers in the workshop also took turns delivering good news.
Ding Leshan cut out a piece of waxy ice material with floating flowers, Liu Helin cut out a piece of yellow sun-green full-color material, and the piece Wang Bing cut happened to be the one made of high ice.
Everyone was happy, clearing away the gloom of cutting out scraps this morning.
After all, today is the day when the new factory starts construction. If it were completely destroyed, the boss would not know how sad he would be.
Tang Songyuan also encouraged him happily: "Work hard and I'll give you extra food tonight."
The four people were more motivated. Tang Songyuan found Ni Sisi again and asked her to prepare a few red envelopes with two hundred in each, so that as the boss, she could give everyone some benefits.
Ni Sisi asked: "Does everyone have it? Do I have it too?"
Tang Songyuan said: "Okay, then I'll pack six."
Ni Sisi blinked and looked at him and said, "Then I think, how about I put five hundred and twenty yuan in my bag?"
Tang Songyuan rolled his eyes, but still nodded: "Okay!"
Ni Sisi said happily: "Then I'll say thank you boss in advance!"
By about four o'clock in the afternoon, the shell of the piece of material in Ma Tianming's hand was completely cut away, leaving only the bare jadeite blank.
The blank that has just been cut out and has not been polished does not look good. It is a bit rough, especially the apple green color, like the buds that have just sprouted on the grass.
But after being sliced and polished, it can still shine brightly.
Tang Songyuan took out the ugly stone that was collected today, handed it to Ma Tianming and said, "Let's leave that piece like this for now. Take a look at this piece and decide how to cut it."
There are many cracks in this fast material, which is a test for Ma Tianming, but if it is cut well, Tang Songyuan can consider giving him a salary increase.
