Chapter 327 Betting on Stones (4)
Here we need to talk about some of the jade trade in southern Henan.

The main products sold here are bright and dark materials. Ming materials are jade articles that have been opened, and the quality and variety can already be seen at a glance.Dark material is jade wrapped in skin, and those who buy dark material are usually called gambling stones.

This depends on the eyesight and luck of the stone gambler.

Because a stone, whether there is jade in it, and the quality of the jade in it, just look at the surface, if it is of poor skill, you can't tell it at all, and sometimes you may spend a lot of money to buy a pile of stones.

There is a private small gambling field for stone gambling. The nature here is not standardized. A group of people go to the field to choose the stone they like. Each stone will have its own number, according to the size of the stone and the surface texture. , Initially, the side of the gambler will have a clearly marked price. If you are confident in yourself, you can buy it directly.

Then there will be a dedicated person in charge of cutting.

After cutting, if you can see the material at the first cut, the people watching around will judge the value of this piece of jade according to some conditions such as the color and density, and then those who are fancy will bid, but the price will naturally vary. It will not be too high, because the heart inside does not know what to do. It is likely that there is only a little jade skin on the outside, but the inside is hollow.

This is not uncommon.

And in southern Henan, there is also a large stone gambling field, which is an authoritative stone gambling event established by relevant departments. It is usually held in March and April every year, and it is also called public market in the local area.

But Cheng Zihan and the others didn't come at the right time, so they could only go to some small stone gambling places to have fun.

In addition to gambling in the stone field, buyers in southern Henan can also search for treasures in Jade Street. The price of stones bought here is not high, and the probability of getting good materials is also low, but the price of a stone is around [-] yuan. Therefore, the cost is not high, and even if it really fails to sell, the loss will not be too outrageous, but it is also a way of betting stones that many people like to choose.

Hearing the proprietress' introduction, Cheng Zihan immediately felt his blood boil.

Like gambling, betting on rocks has great variability. You may win a lot of money, or you may lose all your underwear, but both have one thing in common, that is, the heart of the participants must be able to bear it. tough enough.

There is a fine line between heaven and hell. You will never know whether you have won or lost until the last minute when the market opens.

After a hasty meal, Cheng Zihan couldn't wait to take Qin Kexiu out to go shopping.

Cheng Hai and Li Lan were also interested, so naturally they went with them.

Han Jinchen, who is an expert in stone gambling, of course followed.

Han Yi was worried that the driver who had been knocked out by them before and left the car would bring someone back to make trouble, so instead of following, he contacted the Han family in Yunnan and asked them to arrange some people to come and protect him.

A group of people happily went out, came out of the hotel, crossed a street, turned left and right, walked through several small alleys, and finally came to the largest jade street in southern Henan.

The lights here are bright, and there is a huge archway with three big characters Tianguangxu written on it.

"This is the largest jade street in southern Henan. It's really ordinary." Looking at the shed made of bamboo frames, Cheng Zihan couldn't help but sigh.

Although Southern Henan is said to be a jade city, or the economy is very developed, the facilities inside are very backward.There are no large supermarkets, no high-end hotels, the roads are old bluestone roads, and the houses are old houses. No matter how you look at it, it looks more like an ancient city.

But here is the charm of this place, and the particularity of this place.

Cheng Zihan and Qin Kexiu entered Tianguang Ruins together, and the surrounding jade stalls were all placed on the ground one by one, spread on the ground with a piece of cloth, and jade articles and stones were placed randomly.

There are really quite a lot of customers here. You can see tourists squatting in front of the stalls in twos and threes picking jade stones, and there are also jade sellers who come here to buy goods.

Of course, there are also many people who gamble on stones. You can hear the shouts inside and feel the enthusiasm and passion here.

Cheng Zihan also pulled Qin Kexiu to find a stall and squatted down.

The stall was full of stones, and there was no piece of jade in sight. There was a sign in front of it, with a few big characters scrawled on it: ten yuan a piece, no price.

The price this person asked was quite high, several times higher than the average price.

This was also one of the main reasons why Cheng Zihan was curious about his stall.

The surrounding stalls were full of people, except for this lonely person, not to mention squatting down to watch, not even asking the price.

The owner of that stall was also relaxed and comfortable, sitting cross-legged, ignoring the people around him, just sitting there quietly, as if the whole world was isolated from him.

Cheng Zihan squatted down, and just about to reach out to pick up one of the fist-sized stones, the owner of the stall suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Cheng Zihan lightly, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, miss , We can’t look at the stones here, we have to buy them.”

Cheng Zihan raised his eyebrows, isn't this obviously trying to trick people?
How can I buy it without even showing it?
Generally, merchants who buy jade have to look at the texture on the stone first, so as to judge whether there is any material in it. Some experts can also directly judge whether it is jadeite or other varieties inside.

The world's gems are roughly divided into two categories, one is gems, that is, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, golden green cat's eyes and so on.

The other category is jade, so gems are also called precious jade.

The classification of jade from high to low is jadeite, Hotan, Dushan, Xiuyan, blue sky, green pine and so on.

Generally, judging the type of jade from the dark material is mainly based on the texture on the stone. It is not easy to judge jade, because the texture of the stone can sometimes be deceiving. The quality of the jade in the stone still needs to be cut to see entities can be identified.

However, some people who have been engaged in this field for many years can easily judge the quality of jade.

Cheng Zihan was obviously not this kind of person.

Han Jinchen casually glanced at the stone on the ground, suddenly smiled, then squatted down, "Your stone is not worth the price."

Cheng Zihan turned his head in surprise and looked at Han Jinchen.

"If it's not worth it, get out. I don't care about doing your business." The stall owner dismissed Han Jinchen's words.

But Han Jinchen was not angry, he just picked up a stone, looked at it and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is jadeite seed material. Look at the surface of this seed material. There are many rough cracks in the skin. The quality is of The lowest grade, the possibility of producing good materials is extremely low, ten yuan a piece, not worth it. If you can check carefully, you can find one or two valuable ones in such a large pile of broken stones, but we are not Naturally, a water fish at the mercy of others will not just listen to your advice and buy this pile of stones."
