Jianbao life

Chapter 634 Panyu
Seeing Yuan Hongjian's excited appearance, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu looked at each other and smiled. In fact, not only Yuan Hongjian, but basically everyone who picked up the first leak in their lives was similar to his current performance.

When Yuan Hongjian's mood calmed down, Uncle Wu reminded him: "Old Yuan, to be honest, with your current eyesight, you should buy less when you go to the market in the future. For example, this jade pendant of yours is If it is really from the Ming Dynasty, two zeros must be added at the end of the price, you have to remember, the seller is not a fool."

Yuan Hongjian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know how much I have now. If it is something I am not familiar with in the future, I will definitely not buy it. By the way, there is one thing I want to ask the two of you." , how should this plate of jade be plated?"

Uncle Wu said: "Speaking of which, your piece of jade is man-made. Fortunately, the method used by the counterfeiter is knocking rust, and it can be sold out."

"What is the knocking method?" Yuan Hongjian asked hastily.

Uncle Wu explained: "This is a method of counterfeiting soil rust invented in the Qing Dynasty. The method is to put Ziyu into iron filings, then quench it with hot vinegar, and then put it in the wet ground. After more than ten days Buried under the street where people come and go, after a few months, when it is taken out, the jade is eroded by iron filings, and the whole body is covered with orange peel patterns."

"After boiling it with water, the color of the jade will become darker, and there will be soil spots. The gray soil is not easy to recede, which is very similar to ancient jade. However, if this method is used to make old ancient jade, the red color will float on the surface, and the time will be longer. , the dusty spots and redness will recede, which is why the color on the surface of your jade is not obvious."

"That's the case!" Yuan Hongjian suddenly said, "Then why should the jade be sold, and how should it be sold?"

Uncle Wu explained: "This ancient jade is usually unearthed from the tomb. Because of some chemical reactions, there is color on the surface, covering up the original brilliance and even the original pattern. So Panyu put it simply, It is to restore the original luster of jade."

"Of course, if it is a new piece of jade, after playing with it, it can make the jade look soft and moist like ancient jade. Generally speaking, there are three ways to pan jade: urgent pan, slow pan, and Italian pan... ..."

When Uncle Wu was talking about this, Yuan Hongjian interjected: "Is it possible that this urgent order can make a piece of jade in a very short time?"

Uncle Wu shook his head: "Of course not. The emergency disk must be worn around. Because the human body is hot and sweaty, after wearing it for a few months, the texture of ancient jade will gradually harden. At that time, we can use a clean Wipe it with an old cloth until it looks a little better, and then wipe it with a new cloth."

"However, you must not use colored cloth. It is more appropriate to use white cloth and coarse cloth. The more you rub, the hotter the jade will be, so it must not be interrupted. The more you rub, the easier it is for the turbidity and dryness of the dust to fade naturally. Naturally, the place where it is placed can be condensed and restored to its previous luster."

"Generally speaking, even if it is Jipan, it takes about a year to show its original luster, but because Jipan is too rude, it is easy to cause the jade to be destroyed. If you really like it, you don't know how to use it." this way."

After hearing Uncle Wu's explanation, Yuan Hongjian quickly shook his head: "Although my jade pendant is not expensive, it is also the proof that I have missed it for the first time. I don't want to use such a rude method as rushing. By the way, since Yipan It should be the best way to be at the end, right?"

Hearing what he said, Chu Chen laughed: "This means that the player holds the jade in his hand, and while playing, he thinks about the virtues of jade, constantly absorbs the essence from the virtues of jade, and nourishes himself. Temperament, as time goes by, reaches the noble state of the unity of the jade and the people, the jade has been maintained, and the spirit of the Panyu people has also been sublimated."

"This meaning plate must be persistent, able to endure loneliness, and have enough likeness. Even the ancients, there are very few people who use this method, and the successful ones have never heard of it. So, I think you It’s better not to pursue it or not to pursue it, as the saying goes, you can only feel it, not express it in words.”

Yuan Hongjian smacked his lips, and then said: "This idea is really troublesome, as long as I am impatient, let's forget it! What about the slow one?"

Chu Chen said: "The slow plate refers to putting a piece of jade in a small cloth bag, hiding it next to the body, using the temperature of the human body to moisten it, and rubbing it on the plate after a year until the jade returns to its original appearance." .”

"This method is simple! It's especially suitable for a lazy person like me!" Yuan Hongjian said with a chuckle.

Uncle Wu smiled and said: "You're not too happy. Since it's a slow offer, it must be time-consuming. Generally, it doesn't take three or five years. The time is often ten years, or even decades."

"For example, the ancient jade from the Qin and Han Dynasties had to be worn around the waist for more than ten years before it could be restored. If the ancient jade from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties was not enough for more than ten years, it had to be worn for a longer period of time, which would take five or sixty years. time will do.”

Hearing this, Yuan Hongjian quickly asked: "Then how long will I have to trade this piece of jade?"

Uncle Wu replied: "Your piece of jade is a fake color, but the time is shorter. I guess it should be very good in two or three years. And the jade that has been plated for a long time with slow plate is worth more than 30%. It’s often expensive, I met a piece of jade that has been coiled for nearly 32 years before, and the quality is not much better than yours, and the buyer spent [-] yuan to buy that piece of jade.”

Yuan Hongjian was a little surprised and said: "Then the income is not bad, it's more than 1 a year, and the key method is simple."

Uncle Wu shook his head: "That's not the way to calculate the account. The reason why that piece of jade is expensive is because it has been traded for nearly 30 years. If the time for the trade is short, then after that year, it must not be so much money."

Chu Chen said: "Besides, there are still some points that need to be paid attention to in slow panning. For example, when panning, hands must be washed clean, and it is best not to have oil. In addition, when panning, you must not use a bristle brush, because the brush will The patina that comes out will feel like a thief..."

He pointed out to Yuan Hongjian all the points that need to be paid attention to in slowing the order. At the end of the talk, Yuan Hongjian probably couldn't remember so much, and he seemed a little confused, so he laughed and said:
"How about this, when I asked my teacher Panyu last time, I got a notebook on this topic from him, and I will make a copy for you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

Yuan Hongjian hurriedly thanked after hearing the words: "Mr. Chu, thank you so much..."

In the afternoon, seeing that there was nothing to do in the store, Chu Chen went home and continued to carve jadeite ornaments. In fact, if it was ordinary jadeite, he would be able to complete the carving of the dragonstone-sized jadeite without much time, but the dragonstone The seeds are too precious, he would rather be slower than make mistakes because of going too fast.

Speaking of which, the carving was slow, and it didn't take long for him to feel that his spirit and the jadeite seemed to resonate. In this case, his carving skills were improved again, and he broke through to the master level. Things that he hadn't thought of before undoubtedly made him extremely excited.

When he calmed down, he immediately thought of his previous mistakes.

The ancients said that jade is the spirituality of human beings, so those who love jade should hide jade, respect jade, and pan jade.Jade in our country has a history of thousands of years of civilization. The ancients cared jade very carefully. After a long period of appreciation, even if the carved jade is not liked later, it is only processed and improved on the basis of the original craftsmanship, and continues to be played.

This is true for jade, so why not for jade?
The reason why he carved fast before was that on the one hand, his reaction speed was indeed faster than others, and on the other hand, he didn't put too much emotion into jade, and how much spirit could be integrated into the things carved in this way? What about inside?If this continues, he will never be able to become a true jade carving master in his life.

Fortunately, Chu Chen's luck was good enough for him to come across such precious jadeite as dragon stone, which ordinary people have never seen before. This made him naturally break through the barrier when he was carving, and he also understood the reason behind it. .

Because of this, the dragon stone jade jewelry that was originally intended to be given to the family as a New Year gift can only be postponed, but when Zhao Yunlin and her daughter saw the semi-finished product, they all said that the wait was worth it, even Chu Yongning saw it Some envy, I really want to have one.

When Chu Chen saw his father's expression, he smiled and said that the material was enough to give him a pendant.However, Chu Yongning still refused with a smile.After all, he is also a high-ranking official, so he still needs to pay attention to his influence in this regard. ...

After returning home, Zhao Yunlin was already taking a nap. After greeting Mrs. Ji, Chu Chen entered her studio and devoted herself to carving jade ornaments.

With one's concentration, time often passes very quickly. When Chu Chen came back to his senses, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Chu Chen stretched, then put away the jadeite and tools, tidied himself up, and opened the door, but unexpectedly heard Hu Yong's voice.

Walking into the living room, he saw that it was Hu Yong who hadn't seen him for many days. He was taking things out of the large and small luggage bags. Chu Chen saw from a distance that they should be some local products.

"Hu Yong, when did you come back?" Chu Chen stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Hu Yong looked up and saw that it was Chu Chen, he smiled and paid his respects to his old age, and then said: "I haven't been here for long, Mrs. Ji said you were carving jadeite, so I didn't bother you!"

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, and then asked, "How is your family?"

Hu Yong replied: "The family is very good. When I left, I left a sum of money and asked my parents to rebuild the house. It's time for them to enjoy the happiness."

"It should be!" Chu Chen then laughed teasingly: "Your parents didn't introduce you to someone?"

"No way!" Hu Yong scratched his head, and said with a sad face: "In the past ten days, I have been on blind dates, and my family can't wait for me to get married right away!"
