"Xiao Zhao, why are you free to come here today?" Yu Xuan was stunned when he saw Fang Yi and Zhao Hongtao coming together when he opened the door, and turned his head and said, "Old Sun, you two proud disciples are here together."

"Old Yu, I'm here to ask you for advice..." Zhao Hongtao smiled and raised the tea that Yang brought from the office, saying, "The Biluochun I just cooked this year was made by hand. Mr. Yu?"

"Oh, how do you know I like this? Come and try it..." Although Yu Xuan is from Fujian Province, he doesn't like Tieguanyin very much. His favorite is Biluochun, among green tea. He always buys some when new tea is released every year.

"What tea did you drink without eating?"

Sun Lianda walked out of the room, watched Fang Yi prepare food on the table, and said, "Eat first, then taste tea, then Lao Yu, you can't hide your personalities, show your unique skills, let these two kids see..."

"The teacher is right. Mr. Yu, your miscellaneous skills in grading are unique in China..." Zhao Hongtao is in his early forties. He is called a boy by Sun Lianda, but he does not look embarrassed at all. He knows that the more he is missing the teacher, the more casual the title is.

"Teacher, I can't listen to your and Mr. Yu's teachings today..." After placing the dishes, Fang Yi said: "A friend called me to go to Yangzhou today. She wanted to buy a piece of jade and asked me to help me see it. I also want to see it..."

Apart from the causal relationship with Lan Lian, Fang Yi had nothing to say to others. Of course, he did not rush to introduce his identity as his "friend". Fang Yi believed that the teachers would not ask questions.

"Oh, Xiao Fang, can you help me now?"

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Yu Xuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "The jade industry is divided into soft jade and hard jade. Soft jade is represented by Hetian jade. Jade is jade, and it forms a unique style in miscellaneous matters. The water is deep. Be careful to see..."

"Old Yu. I just followed me to see it. If there is a suitable one, I will buy two to play with..."

Fang Yi smiled when he heard this. During the period when he was studying miscellaneous arts with Zhao Hongtao, most of the time he had been exposed to was wood and had never learned any knowledge about jade. How could he know the quality of jade?

Fang Yi's purpose of this trip was to select jade suitable for making magic tools for Lan Lian. He mainly wanted to see if the raw stone also contained the aura like the dragon-shaped jade pendant, so as to further his cultivation level.

"Hmm? Do you want to buy it too?" After hearing Fang Yi's words, Sun Lianda paused with chopsticks and was about to pick up food.

"I heard from Brother Zhao just now that it is more appropriate to buy some raw stones and process them by yourself. I'll go and take a look first..." Fang Yi replied with a smile. If the jade in the raw stone can really promote cultivation, Fang Yi would definitely have to buy it.

"Don't listen to him. The water in the jade industry is very deep. Many of them are inferior to good ones. Be careful..."

Sun Lianda glared at Zhao Hongtao in anger. How long has it been since Fang Yi entered the industry? Zhao Hongtao actually dared to let him get in touch with the raw stone transactions of jade. You know, in that market, there are certainly many people who can get rich overnight, but there are also many who will lose all their money.

The nephrite market is not bad. At most, people use Russian white jade or Qinghai jade to pretend to be Hetian jade, or use fake leather and other techniques to make mountain materials into fake seed materials. The jade itself is still valuable.

But if it is jadeite, that is, the risk is too great, because most jadeite rough stones are traded by gambling stones, that is, guessing whether there is jadeite inside through the stone skin. This is purely a blind man touching an elephant, which makes people unable to distinguish.

There is a saying in the jade business that it is hard to break the jade in the end. It refers to jade gambling stones. In the jade raw stone trading market, almost all jade merchants can be called experts. But no one says they are 100% sure that buying jade raw materials is gambling.

Sun Lianda has an old friend who spent 2.8 million yuan in Myanmar public market last year to buy a piece of raw material. This piece of material has opened many holes. Each hole shows a relatively good green color, and basically revolves around the raw material for a week.

Anyone who knows this behavior knows that it is very likely that there is such a layer of green in the raw materials, which can be considered to be able to make good bracelets and pendants. However, after cutting it, it is found that the green is only on the surface of these surfaces and has not entered the raw materials at all. Although the openings are bright green, the quantity is very small. The material bought for 2.8 million yuan was sold for only 100,000 yuan.

Of course, there are also people who lose money. Sun Lianda once met with his own eyes in a jade trading market in the south. A new businessman spent 30,000 yuan to buy a piece of raw stone that others don’t want. This is a completely cut raw material. The main body has been processed, and there are very few colors.

The water of this raw stone is pretty good, but there is no color on the outside. The seller at that time thought it was good to sell for 30,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, after cutting it, there was a ball of bright green inside. After processing it into a finished product, it sold for nearly five million yuan.

Therefore, there is a saying in the jade market, that is, "One sword, one sword, one sword, hell". However, Sun Lianda knew that the Chinese people's temperament is to report good news but not bad news, because the people who have become hell have far exceeded those who have risen by gambling, so he did not want Fang Yi to contact jade gambling stones.

However, this gambling method is very popular among jade merchants, because everyone has more or less gambling elements in their human nature. When a valuable piece of raw stone becomes jade worth tens of thousands of gold in their hands, the psychological satisfaction even exceeds the value of the jade itself.

"Teacher, it's okay. Most of the jade trading sales are in the south, and Yangzhou is just Hetian jade..."

Zhao Hongtao naturally knew what the teacher said when glaring at him. Not to mention Fang Yi, even Zhao Hongtao himself dared not touch the jadeite rough stone easily. Although he had been to the jadeite trading market, he had never gambled.

Another reason why Zhao Hongtao agreed to Fang Yi's participation in this jade transaction in Yangzhou was that he knew that Fang Yi's one million yuan was gone after buying the house. Even if he lost money, he would just treat it as spending money to buy experience. Anyway, Fang Yi didn't have much money.

"Hetian Yu's water is not shallow..." Sun Lianda thought for a moment and said to Yu Xuan who was eating: "Old Yu, we have nothing to do, why don't we go and have a look with Fang Yi in the afternoon? On-site guidance, the effect will be better..."

Sun Lianda has never accepted a disciple in his life, and he has done a good job of Fang Yi, the only disciple. He also knows that Fang Yi doesn't have much money after buying a house, so he doesn't want Fang Yi to go to Yangzhou to pay a lot of money back.

"I haven't been to the nephrite trading market for several years, so let's go and have a look..."

Unlike Zhao Hongtao, Yu Xuan is a real miscellaneous expert and has a profound attainment in identifying jade. He is particularly proficient in gambling stones. Almost every year, some jade merchants spend a lot of money to invite him to Myanmar, the origin of jade, to participate in the local jade public auction.

"Fang Yi, does your friend have a car? If you don't have a car, let Hong Tao call a car from the museum..."

Sun Lianda didn't ask Fang Yi for permission to go there. I don't know how many jade merchants in the country racked their brains and wanted to ask Yu Xuan to buy jade for them. Could it be that Fang Yi was not happy?

As for using a car, it is even more convenient. Sun Lianda himself is the old director of the museum and enjoys certain benefits after retirement. He only has two or three cars in the old cadres to serve them, such as retired cadres at any time.

"Should... there should be a car? I'll call and ask..."
