Jianbao life

Chapter 432

Everyone was surprised to find that there was something milky white and slightly yellowish in the hole, which was round in shape, like a part of a bug. This made everyone a little confused, and they didn't know what was going on!

"Could it be a moth in the tree?" Chu Yulan said with some uncertainty.

After hearing what Chu Yulan said, everyone really felt that this was the case. This thing was probably a moth in the tree.

"But I don't think I've heard of it. Moths can be found in this kind of jade tree!" Liu Sizhe said with a puzzled expression.

Fatty Dong said with a smile on his face: "It means that this phenomenon is very rare. Tree jade with worms should be very valuable!"

Su Jinning glared at Fatty Dong and said, "You know money and money all day long! You're all about money!"

"Isn't this prepared to buy you something you like!" Fatty Dong said with an exaggerated expression.

Fatty Dong's humble appearance made everyone laugh. Su Jinning gave him a blank look immediately, but he couldn't say anything more. Although the fat man was a bit stingy, she wanted to buy something. Although the fat man would sometimes be a little unhappy, but in the end Will still buy it for her.

After a while, Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's too vague now, it's hard to say if it's a bug, let me polish it first..."

Chu Chen switched to the angle grinder, first removed the surrounding stones bit by bit, and polished them to a rough outline, then replaced the hanging grinder on one side, carefully removed the remaining stones and impurities, and waited until it was cleaned up. , The entire shape of Shuhuayu was displayed in front of everyone.

I saw that there were two small holes on the uneven trunk. The things in the small holes should indeed be moths. The two moths did not look too big. One was about to climb into the tree, and the other was about to climb into the tree. Come out, the vivid movements, coupled with the chubby figure, make people feel very cute at first sight.

After confirming the speculation just now, everyone became curious. Although this tree-like jade is common, it is really unheard of that there are insects in the tree.

Fatty Dong reached up to touch it, and said in surprise, "This thing feels smooth, it looks like jade!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Liu Sizhe said with a speechless face, "This bug must have been silicified and turned into something like agate. Of course it feels like jade!"

Fatty Dong thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case. He said with a smile: "I remember that agate should be regarded as chalcedony, that is to say, these two of mine are jade worms, and they are pure natural jade worms without any carvings. Come to think of it. The value shouldn't be low, right?"

Although finely crafted things look good, some people really like natural and original ecological things. Rare is more expensive, and everyone felt that Fatty Dong might really make a fortune this time.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Fatty, they all said that I am the reincarnation of a lucky star. I think you should be the reincarnation of a lucky star, right? You bet twice based on your feeling, and the price went up!"

"Passed! Passed! I can't compare to Brother Chu! I'm just a fat blind cat!"

Fatty Dong waved his hands again and again, making funny expressions and kept being humble, which made everyone laugh again.

After a while, Liu Sizhe said, "I don't remember hearing this kind of worm-infested tree jade for sale in the market. It's hard to say how much this thing is worth."

"Why don't we check it online first?" Fatty Dong asked.

Chu Chen shook his head and said: "There are indeed a lot of things on the Internet, but they are generally popular news, such as usually private or off-the-wall news, if no one has mentioned it, it is generally difficult to find .”

"Besides, there are not too many people surfing the Internet in our country, and many people in the emerald antique industry don't know how to use computers, let alone surf the Internet. My cousin-in-law should call and ask!"

Then, Chu Chen called Wan Chengjun, and Wan Chengjun really knew about this tree-like jade with worms. In addition to its value, he also told Chu Chen the reason for its formation.

It turns out that this kind of thing is called shipworm, and it lives by eating sawdust. The reason for the formation of such insect-carrying tree jade is also very accidental. First, after the tree is buried, it must be stored at the bottom of the water for a period of time, so that the shipworm can It reproduces in large numbers in wooden structures, forming silicified wood with insects.During the subsequent deep burial process, the shipworms were silicified together, and finally formed the tree jade with worms in front of everyone.

When Chu Chen hung up the phone, Fatty Dong couldn't wait to ask: "How is it, brother-in-law, did you say how much it is worth?"

Chu Chen first explained the reason for the formation of this thing, and then said: "After all, this thing is relatively rare. If you only count bugs, one hundred thousand, as for other price factors, you have to count the tree jade Quality, and the number of bugs, if there are more bugs, the price increase will definitely be higher."

Fatty Dong seemed somewhat disappointed when he heard that the worms were only 1000. Bugs, isn't there [-] million bugs alone?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smirked.

But Fatty Dong didn't think about it, his cut of tree jade was only about 30 centimeters high, how could there be a hundred bugs?

"Brother Chu, do you think this thing is a maggot?" Su Jinning asked with a disgusted expression, while Chu Yulan and Wen Yuting had similar expressions.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "This thing is called a shipworm, but it is actually a bivalve marine mollusc, which is different from ordinary maggots."

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, the third daughter felt a lot less nausea in her heart, but when she looked at Shuhuayu again, she always felt a little chilly, and she no longer felt that the two bugs were cute.

"I said Fatty, this thing is not allowed to be taken home, do you hear me?" Su Jinning held Fatty Dong's ear and said.

At this time, Fatty Dong was imagining that he could make a lot of money this time, and when he felt a pain in his ears, he came back to his senses and asked with a puzzled face, "What's the matter?"

Su Jinning said angrily: "I said you are not allowed to take this thing home!"

"Why!" Fatty Dong was a little confused.

Su Jinning said loudly: "This thing is a maggot, it's a maggot! Can you still eat well if you put it at home!"

Fatty Dong blinked his eyes and said, "I heard from Brother Chu that this thing is a shipworm!"

"Anyway, I don't care, whoever called it with "maggot" in its name!"

Fatty Dong chuckled and said, "Ningning, things have been dead for tens of millions of years, what's so disgusting? You just need to treat it as money?"

"No!" Su Jinning refused resolutely.

Fatty Dong scratched his head in embarrassment, and thought to himself, why is this woman so hypocritical!

"Okay, fat man, anyway, you must sell this thing, so put it here first!" Chu Chen shook his head and laughed.

Fatty Dong patted his forehead, secretly thought that he was a bit stupid, this thing was originally intended to be sold for money, and his channels for emerald antiques were not as many as Chu Chen's, so putting it in Chu Chen's place would definitely maximize his benefits, so Hastily agreed:

"Thank you Brother Chu, as for the money, I'll just wait until I sell my jadeite for a knot!"

When he was in Lingnan earlier, Chu Chen suggested that Liu Sizhe and his jadeite should be made into jewelry and sold in his shop. Then he would only need to charge a processing fee. This would deepen the relationship with his friends , Second, while increasing the inventory for the store, there is no need to press too much money.

Of course, all this is also because Liu Sizhe and the others don't have much jade.

Of course, everyone will not object to Chu Chen's proposal, but they are also embarrassed to ask Chu Chenbai to help, so they insist on giving Chu Chen a commission. It is undoubtedly much better to sell jadeite materials together, and both parties are happy.

"elder brother……"

As soon as Fatty Dong's words fell, Chu Yulan next to him called weakly, and Chu Chen instantly understood what was going on.

Chu Chen laughed and said: "Okay, after I untie the things, I'll put them in the store, right?..."

Next, Chu Chen devoted himself to disentangling the worm tree into jade, because he could not damage those jade worms, so he could only use the hanging grinder most of the time, and the free angle grinder and stone dissolving machine were just used by Li Guodong and Liu Sizhe. Jieshi, did not delay today's task of dissolving stones.

Although this piece of tree jade is not very big, but because its surface is bumpy and can't hurt the jade worms, when it was time to eat at noon, only one-third of it was solved, and a total of different shapes were found. five jade worms.

This result was undoubtedly far from Fatty Dong's idea, which made him feel very disappointed, and he immediately seemed a little unhappy.This made Su Jinning feel very strange, but when she learned the reason, she angrily sent Fatty Dong the words "Crazy about money".

At noon, everyone had a lively lunch. What Chu Yulan didn't expect was that the few vegetables Ji Sao fried were delicious. It didn't make much difference, which really surprised her.

But unexpectedly, she thought that when she moved into the new house, she would be able to eat delicious food made by Mrs. Ji every day, so she couldn't help but feel happy.

After the meal, Chu Chen received a call from Qiang Zhaojun, saying that next Wednesday, the jade carving master mentioned earlier would arrive in the capital.

"Xiao Chu, are you going to buy him a house directly, or rent a house for him?"

"Just buy the house and sign a contract at that time. As long as he works with me for a few years, the house will be transferred to his name."

"Well, that's pretty good, then you can just ask me for the money for the house!"

Chu Chen heard the words and said quickly: "Mr. Qiang, how embarrassing this is!"...
