Chapter 134 Calculating stones is no better than cutting watermelon
Xu Yunhan and Guan Zeyu walked back to Dai Xiaobei and the others, and the stone-dissolving machines that had been prepared in front of them had already started, and several experienced stone-dissolving masters started to work on the stone.

The methods of dissolving stones include rubbing, cutting and grinding.

Rubbing stones is an old rule that works well and is safe.If the part is not identified correctly, the knife will be cut, which is a blind move, which will "release" the green color, and it is often easy to lose the bet.This is a big taboo of betting on stones.

The ancients said: "It is difficult for an immortal to break an inch of jade."Rubbing the stone to see the fog, and looking at the bottom to see the color are the tricks to judge jade.With a wiper, you can light up and look in, or use a Ga film to look at it with sunlight to judge the depth, width, and shade of green.If the rubbing mouth is small, you can continue to rub it wider, as long as there is green, try to expand the rubbing area, even if you wipe off the entire leather shell, all the green is exposed.The method of cutting is not as good as rubbing. When rubbing, if the flesh does not see color, it can be stopped immediately, and a careful analysis can be made to make a decision whether to cut it or not.

As for cutting stone, as the saying goes, rubbing up is not considered to be up, but cutting up is up.Stone cutting is the most critical step in stone gambling. The conclusion of winning or losing can only be determined after cutting the stone.Some stone gamblers, as long as the price rises after rubbing the stone, he will sell it and let others continue to gamble, because if you continue to rub or use a knife to cut, the risk will be greater, and there is only a slight difference between rising and falling.It can be seen that cutting stone is not trivial.

The original cutting method is to use a bow saw to press the sand and slowly saw the stone.If it is found that the cutting cannot be continued, it is convenient to "rein in the horse" to facilitate rescue.With a jade cutting machine, the blade is coated with a diamond layer, and the cutting is accurate and fast.But the stone is soaked in oil or water in the jig, so it is not easy to check. Only when it is completely cut open will you know whether you have won or lost. If you just cut the jade meat inside, it will damage the value of the jadeite.

To cut stone with a knife, first of all, the position must be accurate. You can cut the knife from the mouth, or from the mang belt, from the pine flower, or along the crack.If there is no color after the first cut, you can cut the second cut and the third cut until you find the color.

As the saying goes, one knife is poor and one knife is rich, which refers to this truth.After cutting, if there are few or no colors, you will lose. If there are some colors, it is not a complete loss, but it still has a certain value. If you can bet on a tie, it is not a loss.

Grinding stones are used for polishing, to fully express the transparency, so that people can see its color or water.If there is no grinding stone, it can be moistened with water or oil, which can play the role of grinding stone polishing, and also fully express the color or bottom water.

There are two ways to bet on millstones. One is dark betting, also called blind betting. The stone has no traces of scratches or natural fractures. Betting on such stones is called dark betting.The second is half-brightness, that is, there are knocks, scratches, or small gaps on the stone, and the color of the stone species or the bottom water can already be seen, but most of them are still unknown. Gambling, this kind of gambling is called half-blind half-gambling.

But today's stone betting is a secret bet, all the wool has no trace of being stoned.When it is your turn to choose the wool, you can ask Master Jie Shi how to cut the knife in which position.Just like the two men on the stage at the moment, at the beginning, they asked Master Jieshi to slowly rub into the wool by rubbing.

The stone-cleaning master is also very cautious, almost always stopping the stone-cleaning machine, leaning over to scoop some water from a bucket filled with clean water on the side and pouring some on the wool, and then burying his head to check carefully whether the wool is green or not. sign.

"Why are the moves so slow, it's so boring." Dai Xiaobei complained first, "Last time when I gambled in Liulichang, that master's movements were very nimble, and he could finish one with a few knives, just like cutting a watermelon. Why is it so slow today, how long will we have to wait for our stone?"

Fan Disheng caressed his impatient girlfriend in a low voice, and turned his head to ask Guan Zeyu, the person who knew the most about stone gambling among them,
"Couldn't it be quicker, this calcite?"

Guan Zeyu glanced at Dai Xiaobei and said with a smile,

"Right now, the thing under the calculus machine may contain valuable emeralds instead of watermelons. You can just cut them open. Last time you bet on stones at Liulichang, the reason why the calculus master moved quickly was because he believed that he was selling There is absolutely no emerald in the stone, so I cut it directly as white flint. The wool that only sells for 100 yuan a piece is regarded as waste that is not as good as watermelon, and it is less stressful than cutting watermelon, and the speed is naturally quick.”

Zhao Gan widened his eyes and said in surprise,
"What! Last time you gambled on stones, 100 yuan each?! So cheap! Damn, compared to today's clubhouse, the price is sky-high. By the way, Zeyu, I remember you said that you spent 50 from Hanhan last time. Buy that red jadeite in your hand. Let me do the math, the cost of 100 yuan turned out to be sold for 50 yuan. Sub-Ao, what a huge profit! It’s exciting enough, and I will go to Liulichang for a stroll someday Buy it for ten or twenty stones and cut it for fun, maybe you can get an emerald or something."

"Do you think it's so easy to solve the emerald bet?! The stall where Xiao Han and the others went to bet on stones the other day, less than half an hour after her bet, all the woolen materials of the boss were sold out, but in the end It was all cut down, and there are white stones inside." Guan Zeyu glanced at Zhao Gan, and couldn't help pouring cold water on it.

"Not to mention that it is 100 yuan a piece of scrap, you will see later, there must be a lot of gambling among these cheap wool today. If it is so easy to produce jadeite, the market for jadeite will not be so good now. Expensive."

After hearing this, Su Muyuan felt regretful and slapped his palms excitedly, "Ci'ao, tell me earlier, if I had known earlier, I would have picked a smaller one, and even if it was really a rock, I could pay less. "

"Hahaha, I wanted you to snatch it from me just now, but fortunately I chose a small one in the end." Ke Zhenlin took the opportunity to add insult to injury, in order to retaliate against Su Muyuan who snatched the woolen material that was originally his fancy, and at the same time rejoiced that he was robbed, the piece of woolen material was more than 70 yuan Jin!

"Hmph, maybe I'll just gamble and make a lot of money!" Su Muyuan immediately put away his regretful expression when he heard that.

Fan Disheng glanced at Su Muyuan, and said solemnly, "You won tens of thousands of dollars from us just now, and now you start to feel bad about the money. I said, Mu Yuan, your occupational disease seems to be getting worse.

Everyone echoed, Dai Xiaobei had just told Xu Yunhan earlier that Su Muyuan worked in the taxation system, so the two were suitable for contact, so they immediately laughed knowingly.

"What are you laughing at? I know how to live. You know what. I still have to save money to marry a wife!"

"Forget about being a bachelor, why spend that money on marrying a wife, being a bachelor saves the most money!" Fan Disheng immediately took over the conversation and said.

But Dai Xiaobei got hurt, and was blushed by Su Muyuan's words, "a full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry", and he chased Su Muyuan and beat him a few times before giving up.

"This is... green?!"

"It's still uncertain, just a little bit of emerald color, the rules of this stone betting competition must be fully solved."

"Hey, you can see that the area of ​​the emerald hole that was wiped out has become larger, and there is great hope for the bet to go up!"

Seeing this situation, Xu Yunhan and the others stopped playing and approached the stone breaker surrounded by the crowd in tacit understanding.Judging from this posture, the wool material selected by someone is green.

The onlookers stared wide-eyed, staring intently at the woolen material in Master Jieshi's hand. What can be seen is that a window the size of an adult's palm has been wiped open on one side of the woolen material.Master Jieshi and the owner of wool are pouring water on the 'small window', and then pointing to the flashlight.

Afterwards, he continued to polish and untangle a few Shishishi masters who had completely lost their bets. Finally, he saw that there was hope for a green bet. It was like taking an aphrodisiac. The movements were much faster but the techniques were still steady. And accurate.

"Wow, there is green here too, shit! Today's 3000 yuan per catty seems to be really worth it!" The stone-cleaning machine next to it also exploded. information!It attracted everyone to rush over to watch again, and sure enough, it was really green!

It looks like the water head is good and the color is right!
For a while, the hall was boiling, and everyone cheered as if they saw the emeralds from the wool they chose, except of course the few people who had lost their bets before.

"I really want it to be my turn to choose the rough stone soon! Master, please solve it quickly!"

"That's right, maybe I can also bet up! Hahaha~"

"Today is the right trip. Fortunately, I didn't agree to go to the movies with my girlfriend tonight."

……

Now even Dai Xiaobei forgot the boredom of waiting, and ran back and forth excitedly watching. After twenty minutes, the two pieces of wool were finally completely untied.

One piece is fist-sized light green bean-seed jadeite. Under the explanation of Guan Zeyu, a professional who is very familiar with this kind of jadeite, Xu Yunhan and the others watched and listened, which was very interesting.

Bean seed jadeite is very common and of poor quality, belonging to low-grade jade species, and its name is very vivid.Most of them are in the shape of short columns, just like beans arranged inside the emerald, and the interface of these crystals can be seen with the naked eye.Because of the rough crystal grains, the appearance of jade pieces is inevitably rough, and their luster and transparency are often poor. It is usually called "water dry" by the jadeite world.Those with cyan color are called "bean green" or "light bean"; those with green color are called "bean green".

The other piece of material is a piece of green jadeite with a white background, which is larger than the one just now. The characteristic of green jadeite on a white background is that the background is as white as snow, and the green color looks very bright on the white background, with distinct white and green.Guan Zeyu said that most of the varieties with medium fineness and texture are medium-grade jadeites, and only a few jadeites with distinct green and white, bright green, good color and shape, and very coordinated color and ground can reach medium-to-high-end grades.

Green jadeite with white background is a kind widely distributed in Burmese jadeite. Its texture is finer. Green jadeite with white background is often of fibrous structure, and the background color is generally white. Of course, there are sometimes some impurities. It is more vivid, because the background color is more green and white, and most of the green parts appear in lumps, which are different from anthocyanins in these aspects.Most of the white-bottomed green species are opaque, which is what experts say is insufficient water. They think it is a new variety.

In comparison, the value of this piece of green jadeite with a white background is higher than that of the light green bean jadeite.But these two emeralds are considered gambling.
