399. Black or Cracked?
The old man poured five cups of tea in a row, and then placed two finger-sized tea cups in front of everyone.
Li Kang sat there holding the stone in his hand for a while and didn't know where to put the stone in his hand.
This table looks very expensive and the floor should not be cheap either. What should I do if I put the stones on and scratch them?
"Show me the raw stone." The old man seemed to notice Li Kang's embarrassment and took the initiative to extend his hand.
Li Kang stood up in a hurry, held the stone in both hands and handed it on it.
However, the old man stretched out his hands without receiving the stone. He stood there blankly, staring at Li Kang's face with his eyes tightly. After a while, he asked softly: "Who are you?"
"Uh... My name is Li Kang, and I am an editor who has worked with Editor-in-Chief Hong." Li Kang probably doesn't know what Qi Dian is, so he didn't mention it.
"Yanyan." The old man looked at Hong Guiyan: "This young man looked sixty-sixth-similar to your grandmother when she was young."
"Hmm?" Hong Guiyan looked at Li Kang several times after hearing this: "I don't think it's like it."
The old man glared at Hong Guiyan: "How old is your grandmother when you remember?"
Thinking of the old man in front of him who had never married and had been a jewelry for his grandmother for his whole life, Hong Guiyan immediately chose to believe that no one had a say in what his grandmother looked like when she was young, a sixty-year-old spare tire...
"Young man, where are you relatives from Yanyan?" Perhaps because of Li Kang's face, the old man was particularly kind.
Li Kang quickly explained: "We have no relatives, we just have cooperation in our work."
"That's a coincidence. You are more like her grandmother's grandchild than Yanyan." The old man smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
There are so many people in the world, it is normal for those who occasionally have similar things.
After drinking a cup of tea, the old man no longer delayed it, picked up the raw stone and stood up and said, "Let's go and see what's inside it."
Maybe because of Li Kang's appearance, this old man is much more enthusiastic than before.
There is a row of large basements under this villa. The old man brought them into one of them, which were filled with various tools.
Li Kang couldn't quite understand, so he could only follow the old man.
He first used a flashlight to observe the small window that Li Kang had wiped out for a while, then carefully observed from various places for a long time, and then smiled and said, "You are lucky. There is a high probability that there is jade in this rough stone."
Then he took an iron brush and brushed it on the skin that seemed light but not diminished. As the stone chips fell down, he explained while brushing: "The skin outside should be very shallow, I'll brush it first."
This is really a matter of brushing. The stone chips are getting thinner and thinner, but when he sees his actions, Li Kang is so tired for him. It’s a blessing that the stones are not big, otherwise he will have to brush them until next year.
However, brushing also has the benefits of brushing. Not long after, the small gray-white stone surface gradually turned into a lilac color.
The old man looked carefully with a flashlight and judged: "You are likely to be a whole piece of jade. How much did you spend to buy it?"
Li Kang answered honestly: "200."
"Silly people have good fortune."
Li Kang's face turned dark. Why did he become stupid when he bought this stone for 200 yuan? Isn't this? Isn't it going to produce jade?
"The water should be good." Before he could completely wipe it away, the old man made a judgment, and his determination was still very determined, which shocked Li Kang.
After a while, the old man painted the other side. After roughly judging the thickness of the stone, he finally took out an angle grinder.
The speed was fast now, and the stone skin was peeled off in a while. As the old man's skillful movements, a piece of purple jade gradually appeared in front of everyone.
This piece of jade is purple all over, full of color, as if it is about to overflow, and it is shining under the light.
"Glass type, I'm really lucky."
"Is this the glass type?" Li Kang looked at the jade in front of him. The color was good, but this piece of cake looked like glass. The glass type in the big gold chain could all be transparent.
Li Kang watched them try it out for the audience.
"This is wool material, without cutting or polishing, it must be different from the glass type you usually see. You will know it will be different when you make the finished product."
“Oh oh oh.”
It seems that's right, Li Kang nodded quickly and was overjoyed.
It was a festive thing to solve a piece of glass, and the old man was also very happy.
Although this piece of jade is just lilac, it is very full of color and is not small in size. It can make seven or eight bracelets.
The old man used a flashlight to shoot the jadeite, and the photo immediately frowned.
Under the strong light, the few black silk threads that could only be seen faintly inside the jade became obvious.
Moreover, the shadow on the lamp post told Li Kang that the black silk in it was far more than he felt when he saw it at first glance.
"This, this..."
Li Kang was a little anxious. Is there any problem with the jade?
The old man's expression was also a bit regretful. Such a rare piece of complete glass-type purple jade can take out several large materials from the table, and there were so many fine patterns inside. It was probably either cracks or black, and they were all things that greatly damaged the quality of jade.
Moreover, the crack or black is still cracked from the center of the jade, so the possibility of cracking inside is much greater than that of black.
If it is black, it will still affect the quality of the modification, but it can still be used as a matter of use. Glass-type purple jade is of great value, and even if it is discounted, it is still a sky-high price.
But if it is cracked, then this piece of jade may only have a thin layer of skin that can be peeled off and made into some ordinary jewelry that is not very wasteful.
Alas, it's a pity that a good piece of material.
The old man was a little unwilling to give up and took out a square flashlight. This time the light was much stronger than the previous flashlight. Li Kang had never seen such a style before.
The light was dazzling, causing some tears to spread in the old man's somewhat old eyes, but he still looked carefully, as if he wanted to see clearly whether it was black or cracked.
Two different things will make the next cutting completely different.
Suddenly, a different color flashed, and a surprise burst into the old man's eyes, which made Li Kang, who had been paying attention to him, feel tight.
The stronger the light, the less he felt. Under the strong light, the inner situation of the jadeite was illuminated. The black lines were so deep and dense.
However, the old man kept flipping the wool in his hand, as if he wanted to recreate the angle he had just seen.
Finally, after a full ten minutes, the scene that the old man was looking forward to the light of the flashlight appeared.
"Spring color? It's actually green inside." The old man smiled: "Purple eats green, it's hard to coexist. The core of your jade is actually covered with green, and I almost didn't see it!"
"Mr. Zhang, is the silk thread here green or not black?" Li Kang was shocked.
