Baolu Tianxing

Seeing one of the small ornaments, Wang Yuyuan was crystal clear and shaped like frozen wax, so she couldn't help touching it.

"How sticky!"

"This is oil!" Wu Chen chuckled. A stone like this needs to be coated with wax oil to make it smoother. Wang Damei has no experience in stone maintenance, so she just touched it with her hands, and she was hit.

"You think this can be considered jade? It's better to call it a stone!" Xu Shaodong disdains this kind of behavior of calling jade at every turn.

"This Huanglong jade seems to be more suitable to be called a stone." Wu Chen agreed. In fact, even stones are not cheap, such as Shoushan stone, chicken blood stone and so on. There is no need to rely on jade!

"Hehe, it's not for the sake of raising your social status! It's easier to fool the public with a different name." Zhou Xuan took out a wet tissue and handed it to Wang Yuyuan.

"Well, the price of Huanglongyu on the market is almost the same as that of Shoushan Stone. Sometimes the packaging is very important, and a famous name is more conducive to hype."

Wu Chen nodded, everyone should be aware of this, "But after all, it is a fresh variety, without the historical accumulation of Jadeite and Hotan, and the current price is still quite different!"

"Speaking of which, you have to be strong to make an iron, and there is a reason why Huang Longyu can stand out." Although Xu Shaodong was a little disdainful of Huang Longyu's name change, he still had affirmation of this stone itself.

"You mean its structure?" Wu Chen didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after hearing from his family members that these things are now a big hit, he finally understood.

"The main component of this stone is muscovite, and there are many trace elements that determine the color. The reason why it is called jade is actually because its crystal structure is a polycrystalline complex similar to jadeite and Hetian jade. And in terms of hardness , which is similar to emerald, and can reach 7 degrees."

"This is one aspect, but these characteristics are not the most important."

Xu Shaodong nodded, but he had his own unique insights.

"The most important thing is that the main colors of the so-called Huanglongyu are yellow and red! In Chinese culture, these two colors have always been the most noble and mysterious colors, which are usually reserved for the royal family or religion, so this Good stones of two colors are especially popular! Tianhuang and chicken blood are the best representatives of the two colors!"

"Okay, dudes are different, ha." Wu Chen joked, causing the two daughters to make fun of Xu Shaodong.

"That's, how should I put it, buddy is also a new star in the antique world!" Xu Shaodong laughed, enjoying this feeling very much!Speaking of which, he is not aimless.His master, Mr. Ma, has a deep research on color, and has published several series of books on the "color" of porcelain and jade, which has a wide influence in the industry.

"Let's go, let's go. There are other people in the store." Several people had a quarrel, especially the two women, who were already good-looking, and when they smiled, they were even more attractive.

Even the boss was stunned and cursed secretly, these two boys Yanfu are too good!

"Hey, there really is a serious antique shop here!" After walking a few more shops, Xu Shaodong saw a shop that said antique shop, smiled, and dragged everyone in.

Similar to an ordinary antique shop, there is a shelf at the entrance facing the street, and there are a lot of scattered objects on it, all kinds of things, everything.

Wu Chen was no longer a rookie, so he glanced at it, but walked in without even looking at it.

Xu Shaodong didn't even look at it, and walked in directly.

The space inside is small, separated by several rows of wooden shelves, filled with all kinds of old objects, most of them are some local traditional products such as wood carvings and brocade embroidery, and there are also some old copper pieces, old silverware and so on. There is a "grandfather statue", looking at the blackened face, I don't know it was stolen from that old temple!

This kind of thing is very easy to predict!

Ever since he got Wenshan Gong's seal from a wood carving last time, Wu Chen has been particularly concerned about this kind of statue. He deliberately walked over, pretending to get close to smell it, and looked in from a close distance. It was empty inside!Even the wood is ordinary old camphor wood!

There are quite a few years, the poor old man has enjoyed fireworks in the temple for many years, and he was brought here to show off.

Looking at Mu Xiang's old man's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Wu Chen shook his head helplessly, turned around and saw Xu Shaodong and two women picking silverware on the long board in the middle, and moved over.

"This old bracelet is well-made!" Xu Shaodong saw that Wang Yuyuan was holding a small round bracelet with a few small blue stones embedded in it.

"Oh, you understand this too?" Zhou Xuan glanced at him.

"Uh... I understand a little, I understand a little..." Xu Shaodong choked for a moment, feeling very depressed. Don't tell me I don't like this, brother. "This is filigree craftsmanship plus inlay, and this kind of craftsmanship is more common in the south."

Wu Chen just happened to come over, and seeing him deflated, he chuckled and cheered him up, "What is filigree craft?"

"Ha, you're asking the right person!"

Xu Shaodong immediately revived with full blood. Although most of the silver ornaments are for women, they can be regarded as a branch of miscellaneous items. He has worked hard.

"Filigree crafts generally add inlays, dot emeralds or enamel. It is to weave, stack, pinch, and weld with silver wire to make various flat or three-dimensional patterns."

"Isn't that similar to the workmanship of copper-bodied cloisonne?" Wu Chen sincerely asked for advice. He doesn't have any special hobbies for gold and silverware, so it's not an exaggeration to say that it is a shortcoming.

"The essence is the same, but the purpose is different. The characteristics of this craft can use less silver material to make larger-sized ornaments, and they are very delicate. And in order to get rid of the single color restriction of silverware, often At the same time, techniques such as inlaying, gold plating, emerald emerald or enamel are used. There are many ornaments of this type in Yunnan silver ornaments in the Qing Dynasty."

"Yunnan? Are you saying that this is also from Yunnan?" After Xu Shaodong came out with a series of terms, Zhou Xuan looked at him with admiration!Even if it is memorized, it is hard work!

"Hehe, that's only because there are a lot of silver wares in Yunnan and other regions, so everyone has this impression. In fact, the craftsmanship in Jiangnan, including Lingnan, is similar. Apart from filigree craftsmanship, it is generally hammer and chisel craftsmanship." Xu Shaodong looked at Zhou Xuan. Shining little stars, more and more proud, years of hard work, isn't it just for this moment!

Let’s talk about when men are the most excited, wedding night in the bridal chamber, nominations for gold medals, nectar after a long drought, meeting old friends in a foreign land, isn’t it all about being hungry and thirsty for a long time, and being proud of it all at once!

"Okay, don't be stinky! Hurry up and talk about what hammer and chisel craftsmanship is." Wu Chen interrupted Xu Shaodong unceremoniously. He is Xiaobai, and Zhou Xuan and Wang Yuyuan are two girls who usually like it. Some accessories, more or less know a little bit.

"Damn..." Xu Shaodong grumbled dissatisfiedly, lowered his head in the pile of things, and found another bracelet, "Look, isn't this much thicker?"

Wu Chen saw that it was a silver round bracelet with two intertwined fine lines on the outside. Due to time constraints, the appearance was a bit dark and it was heavy in the hand. He still likes this kind of textured thing!I just held it in my hand and looked at it.
