Unparalleled Treasures

When Zhang Can saw the booth and the items in the store, he knew it was him. He immediately stopped and asked, "Master, I want to ask..."

"Do you want to carve a seal?" The old man raised his head, looked at Zhang Can, his expression was a little guessing, and he said, "There is no one who wants to carve a seal for someone as young as you, only the elderly who are old. That habit!"

It is true that now that technology is advanced, almost no young people use private seals anymore, unless it is an enterprise, and the engraving of official seals must have a certificate, and it cannot be engraved in private hands, so the industry of engraving seals like this old man, It is basically impossible to find food now, but Zhang Can also understands that in the antique industry, there are still some collectors who are very skilled masters, and some collectors will ask them to process their own stone and wood, etc., and collectors Usually the engraving fee is relatively high, which is enough for their living expenses.Super fast and stable update novel,!

So when the old man saw Zhang Can's age, he had some guesses, guessing that he wasn't here for engraving.

Zhang Can immediately brought the stone in front of him, smiled and said: "Master, I want to process my stone. If it costs, you can make a price."

The old man was taken aback, and it could be seen that Zhang Can's tone was indeed casual. He relied on his skills for a living, and as long as there was business, he would do it. After thinking about it, he stopped what he was doing, and then asked, "Your job?" Stone?... how to process it?"

When the old man saw the stone in Zhang Can's hand, he couldn't help being stunned. How could such an ordinary bluestone and white material be processed?This kind of material can't be carved into any ornaments, and it can't be carved into seals. It's worthless if it's carved into any ornaments, and it's not worth much money. I don't know how Zhang Can will process it?

Zhang Can immediately handed the stone to the old man, and then said: "Old man, I want to cut this stone, because the stone is small, I think it can be opened with your old tools, and there is no need for big tools for cutting stones! "

"Cut it off?" The old man was stunned again. Could it be that this young man still thinks that there is jade in this stone?Still cut it, what's the use of cutting it?After thinking for a while, he said, "How do you want to cut it? But... I have to charge 400 yuan for cutting stones. What do you think?"

Zhang Can smiled and said, "I'll give you 1000 yuan. I'll draw two lines, and you can just cut along these lines."

The old man thought that he would cut this fist-sized stone casually. It was not a jieshi. If it was a jieshi, no matter whether there was jade or not, the price would not be low. The Lord will even give you a considerable reward, but if you treat it as waste rock and cut it up casually, you will only be charged a few hundred dollars.

Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, even if you charge 400 yuan, it is a high price, but Zhang Can is even more bold, directly adding the price to 1000 yuan, and the old man is also dumbfounded, such a strange person like Zhang Can It's rare!

Without any hesitation, Zhang Can immediately took out the money, counted ten one-hundred bills, handed them to the old man, and said, "Master, lend me another fountain pen for me to use."

The old man nodded, and took out a thick-tip pen from the pen holder made of a mineral water bottle cut in half above the glass counter, handed it to Zhang Can, and then watched Zhang Can's movements.

Zhang Can took the pen, and saw the position of the jade in the stone layer with his perspective eyes, and then drew a few lines on the edge of the jade. If you cut from these lines, you can see the jade layer, which is thin A little bit of it, without hurting the jade inside.

After drawing a few lines, Zhang Can handed the stone to the old man again, and said, "Master, just cut according to this line."

The old man frowned, but he didn't pick up the stone, and put the 1000 yuan back into Zhang Can's hand, and said lightly: "Young man, you should take this money back. You can find someone else to cut it for you. I don't want to cut it for you." cut!"

Zhang Can was stunned, wondering why the old man suddenly changed, and immediately asked: "Master, why is this?"

The old man said lightly: "There are rules for each line. Young man, I see the lines you drew. This is the way to untangle jade wool. Since it is unscrambling, I have my own rules. You have to follow my method. Otherwise, you will take it away, and I don’t know how much it is!”

Only then did Zhang Can understand that the old man didn't want to cut stones for him, but drew lines himself, which made the old man feel that this was a technique that he didn't trust him, so he was annoyed. smiled wryly.

If the old man cuts it himself, even if the old man is skilled, he is not absolutely sure that the jade inside will not be cut at all, but his clairvoyance ability is sure, but this is impossible Tell the secret.

In such a strange place as the capital, I don't know where there is a place to unravel the stone, and besides, this Tianhuangshi is far different from the jadeite wool.

The old man looked at Zhang Can holding the stone in a daze, but he could see that this young man really didn't seem to be joking. He thought it was too much money to burn it. After thinking about it, he said: "You want me to follow your method. Cutting stones is fine, but I have one condition."

"What's the condition?" Zhang Can asked immediately when he heard that the old man had turned around. If he wanted to add more money, it would be a trivial matter. The value of a piece of Tian Huangshi must be over one million. In fact, he doesn't really know the value of this Tian Huangshi.

The old man stood up immediately, then waved to Zhang Can and said, "Follow me inside."

When he arrived at the store, Zhang Can saw the old man stop by the counter, then pointed to the many small pieces of wood on the counter shelf and said, "I am a carver, and my main skill is engraving seals. There are hundreds of small pieces of wood on this shelf." , is specially used to engrave chapters, and it is also collected by me from all over the world for more than 40 years. I said, young man, as long as you can recognize the names of five pieces of wood among the hundreds of pieces of wood, you will pass me. I will cut this stone for you!"

Zhang Can couldn't help smiling slightly. Most of the small pieces of wood on this shelf have been aged for decades and have been cut. They have no skin and lost their original color. It is difficult to recognize that they belong to the what trees.

But this is nothing to Zhang Can. The old man never imagined that Zhang Can has an incredible ability to see through, and the aura can analyze the year and type of the material according to the perspective. To distinguish these woods It is a trivial matter to recognize all of them, not to mention just recognizing five of them.

The old man thought that Zhang Can was about to quit, but unexpectedly, Zhang Can nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, master, then I will be ugly, let me say a few names first to see if it is right! "

The old man also laughed. It seems that this young man will not die until he reaches the Yellow River. Naturally, at his age, it is impossible to recognize his wood. The wood for the engraving is made of miscellaneous wood, which is a relatively hard type. , soft, loose wood is no way to engrave chapters.

Miscellaneous trees that can be used to carve seals generally grow in deep mountains, and there are relatively few types, and they are rare, and some rare types are even more rare. Zhang Can has seen a lot, such as golden nanmu, mahogany, and rosewood Wait, these are the most rare woods.

Looking at the small pieces of wood on the shelf, Zhang Can did not choose one, but took one piece from the beginning, touched it in his hand, and said, "Master, this piece of wood is fine in texture, and it has been stored for a while. long, smooth, and somewhat heavy, is this longan wood from the south?"

The old man was really stunned. He didn't expect that Zhang Can's first piece of wood was right. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or he really knew each other. He nodded after being stunned, but he still didn't say anything. Let's go on.

Zhang Can put the longan wood back on the shelf, then picked up the second piece of wood, and touched it again. In fact, he was just pretending to touch it. After analyzing it with his perspective eyes, the result has already appeared in his mind bingo.

Next, Zhang Can named those small pieces of wood on the shelf like a few treasures, which stunned the old man!

"This one is ginkgo, this one has a lot of texture changes, this is ash, this one is boxwood, this one is rosewood... this one is camphor wood..."

Going on, Zhang Can did not skip over the wood at all, but identified each piece of wood next to each other, and every small piece of wood was not mistaken. He kept talking, and almost said all the small pieces of wood on the shelf. Over and over again, there are only a dozen or 20 yuan left!

The old man stayed for a while, seeing that Zhang Can was still talking, he immediately shook his hands and said: "Okay, okay, you don't need to say any more, you have passed this condition, and I will cut the stone for you, but don't worry, I will still I have something to tell you!"

"Okay!" Zhang Can stopped with a smile. Of course, he was full of confidence in the names he just said.

The old man was also very shocked. These small pieces of wood were all obtained by him with painstaking efforts over the past few decades. As a person who is so familiar with wood materials, if he hadn’t obtained these wood materials with his own hands, he would have to recognize so many It is impossible for him to recognize all the small pieces of wood, but Zhang Can said them all accurately without much effort, which made the old man feel unbelievable. After thinking about it, he felt that Zhang Can might be a child of a carpenter's family However, those who have faced wood for many years are very likely to have that ability, but I always feel a little unbelievable in my heart.

The old man went to a table inside, took out the key from his pocket, unlocked the table and cabinet, and then took out two small pieces of wood, these two small pieces of wood were even smaller, only two or three centimeters thick, more than two inches It is long and dark in color, but it can be seen that the two pieces of wood are not of the same texture, nor are they of the same species.

After placing two small pieces of wood on the table, the old man beckoned to Zhang Can: "Young man, come and have a look at this, what kind of wood is this?"
