80 Appreciation of Treasures: Group Pets Get Rich by Picking Up Trash

Chapter 14
An old explanation: "Most painters in the Ming and Qing Dynasties loved to use thick paper, that is, heavy Xuan, also called Xuan paper. This kind of painting paper is generally composed of two layers of Xuan paper. It has good toughness and is especially suitable for splashing ink rendering."

Therefore, many unscrupulous businessmen used special techniques to uncover the surface of ancient paintings and obtained two authentic works, so as to confuse the real ones with the fake ones.

"So that's the case, the junior is taught." Jiang Yun nodded.

Gu Gu patted her on the shoulder: "Your intuition is quite good, how is it? Are you interested in going to the city to unravel stones with me?"

Jiang Yun hasn't been to the city yet, so it's good to have some experience: "Okay!" Just to see if the stone she chose is really good.

"Aunt Zhou, let Xiao Liu prepare the car."

Both brothers and sisters were stunned, this old man is really unusual, he even has a private car.

*
The wheels were speeding, kicking up dust all the way, and Jiang Hao, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help asking: "Professor Gu, you are a dignified university teacher, why are you living in a small county?"

Gu Gu smiled slightly: "Old man, I usually don't have much class. The house in the county seat is big and comfortable to live in." The city is full of buildings with narrow spaces, so it's not as comfortable as the current home.

Jiang Hao nodded and stopped talking.

In the blink of an eye, a group of people arrived in the city, and the car stopped at the entrance of the bustling market - Xingwang Dispatch Market.

As soon as the siblings got out of the car, they were overwhelmed by the noisy scene full of people. They thought that the ghost market was already the top of the Wenwan trade, but they didn't expect the scale to be several times larger.

The whole market is divided into two parts. On the left are all kinds of Wenwan shops, and on the right are all kinds of street stalls. No matter which area, they are all crowded with customers.

Jiang Hao looked at it curiously: "Is it possible to do business here during the day?"

Professor Gu smiled, and patted him on the shoulder: "The items here have all gone through the Ming Road, and all the procedures are complete. Most of the people who come here to do business and pick up leaks are from the regular road."

No need to avoid people like a ghost city.

The brothers and sisters looked at each other and nodded, they both thought this place was good and they could come back more in the future.

Gu Gu led the two of them through the crowd, turned east and west, and came to a rather deserted shop. There was no elegant decoration here, only all kinds of stones randomly placed in the room, some intact and some broken. crack.

"Old Qiu, come out quickly."

The person inside responded, "Who is it?"

I saw a five or sixty-year-old black and thin old man walking out. This man has an ordinary appearance, but he has a pair of sharp and unusual eyes, which is impressive.

After seeing the person coming, he smiled: "Hey, what kind of fragrant wind brought our great professor here today, it must be no good for you to find me, so tell me."

"Hey, I really have a good thing coming today!"

Professor Gu handed over the stone that Jiang Yun was interested in: "My little friend said that this stone can produce good things, please help me solve it."

Picking up the stone and taking a closer look, it was light yellow in color, with a crack running through the middle. Lao Qiu frowned and shook his head: "You don't even need to illuminate it. It's not bad just by looking at it. Are you sure you want to remove it?"

Gu Gu nodded: "Sure."

"You know the rules here."

Lao Qiu Jieshi's technique is quite famous in the circle of rough stones, the stones passed through his hands will definitely turn green, and at worst it can reach the middle grade.

This man has an unwritten rule that if he sees Bai, he will not be able to interpret the stone that day, and the guest must give him 100 yuan as compensation.

"You can solve it as soon as you ask, what's the point of talking."

Lao Qiu yin and yang said strangely: "Okay, idleness is idleness anyway, and you can earn a hundred with just two knives, such a good thing is rare~"

He picked up the stone and gestured: "According to what I mean, just go straight down the crack."

Gu Gu looked at the stone and made no sound.

Jiang Yun on the side was in a hurry. Although she knew nothing about rough jadeite, she also knew that this cutting method would destroy the contents inside: "Master Qiu, is there a safer way?"

Lao Qiu gave her a sideways look, and said with a little anger: "The safe way? How about giving you a clean first?"

The other party was angry, Jiang Yun bowed her head and stopped talking.

"Then wipe the skin first?" Gu Gu also felt that his previous method was not good.

Lao Qiu sneered: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I agreed in advance, 100 yuan, you have to give me the whole money!"

As soon as the machine sounds, golden ten thousand taels...

After wiping off the cracked skin in the middle of the stone, there is a trace of green inside.

Lao Qiu exclaimed: "I saw green!"

Professor Gu, who was ready to see the truth, was overjoyed when he heard the words, and leaned forward: "Let me see!"

Lao Qiu pushed the person away: "What's the hurry, let's see after shedding more skin." He glanced at Jiang Yun lightly and continued to operate with his head down.

The color of the skin faded, revealing the original color of the stone, and there was a green ribbon around the light green stone.

Lao Qiu put down his tools, heaved a sigh of relief, and praised: "Old Gu, you have found a treasure this time! Who would have thought that there is a python belt hidden under this crack!"

He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, handed the stone to the opponent, and added: "It's a pity that the green on the python's belt grows in the cracks and depressions. It would be better if it was in the bulging place."

Professor Gu had a smile all over his face: "It is said that when the snake belt appears, the wealth will come. Today, the little old man, I want to open my eyes. Old Qiu, look, how do you cut it next?"

The two talked about the cutting plan in a short while. Jiang Yun listened carefully and secretly wrote down various technical terms and identification knowledge of rough stones.

Xie Shi's first cut soon had results.

"It's gone up! Old Gu, it's gone up!"

Lao Qiu put the stone on the table. The material that used to be as big as the mouth of the bowl was missing a corner, revealing a large area of ​​light green color.

"Hahaha, it's waxy ice species! Not bad!" Gu Gu held up the rough stone, his lips from ear to ear.

Jiang Yun stepped forward: "Professor Gu, can I have a look?"

"Of course, if it weren't for your insight, Aunt Zhou might have used it to make pickles."

Jiang Yun smiled, took the stone and looked at it carefully.

Seeing that she looked carefully and had a serious attitude, Gu Gu felt a little love for material: "Girl, look, this rough jadeite is translucent, and its texture is slightly cloudy like glutinous rice soup. This is glutinous ice." kind."

He continued: "There are many colors of emeralds, and there are several kinds of light green..."

At this moment, Jiang Yun is like a sponge, quickly absorbing knowledge about jade...

She learned very quickly. As soon as Professor Gu finished his lecture, she was able to infer other things from one instance, and found several similar rough stones in the shop.

"Girl, your eyesight is really poisonous, did you learn from others before?" Lao Qiu tentatively asked.

Jiang Yun shook her head: "I haven't learned it before, it's just... I have a natural intuition for these objects."

Lao Qiu changed his prejudice against her, and praised her: "Oh, you are rewarded by God! How about it, do you want to be an apprentice with me for a few years? Follow me and learn your skills?"

Gu Gu gave Lao Qiu a look: "Why should I learn from you? My cultural knowledge is better than yours!"

Lao Qiu was not convinced: "I have more practical experience than you!"

Jiang Yun: "..."
